JAMES CALDERÓN, RIGHT, TRANSLATES to a defendant during a court hearing April 7. Calderón is a judicial and medical Spanish interpreter.

Interpreter makes living by helping people understand By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

James Calderón sits patiently in a chair in the front row of the gallery of a Douglas County courtroom waiting for the parties and District Judge Kay Huff to start the hearing. He’s wearing a dark jacket and tie, and he’s carrying a black leather bag that includes his worn out Wiley’s English-Spanish and Spanish-English Legal Dictionary. The book’s binding is held together with several pieces of clear packaging tape, but the Spanish interpreter says the dictionary is invaluable, especially if he comes across a legal term he needs to look up as he interprets for clients.

than a whisper in the background. Calderón with his hands in his pockets stands next to the defendant, Porfirio Pascual Secundino. He’s detailing every word that’s said in court in Spanish directly into Secundino’s ear. Defense attorney Jason Billam is careful to speak a few words or a sentence at a time with pauses built in. His voice also carries. And, as promised, Skinner is speaking more slowly than she was a week earlier. Calderón says he often looks at the floor or something on the wall as a way to focus on what he’s hearing. If things go smoothly, he’s usually only a few seconds behind what’s being said in English.

Rape survivor Meghan Oberzan helped get a new law passed in North Carolina that took effect Feb. 1. The new law allows police to take DNA samples from people who are arrested on felony charges, rather than waiting until they are convicted. If that law had existed before Sept. 25, 2005, it’s possible the 31-year-old Lawrence native would not have had to experience the most horrific event of her life. Oberzan, who now lives in the Kansas City area, grew up in Lawrence and graduated from Lawrence High School in 1998. She earned a bachelor’s degree in English literature and psychology at Kansas University in 2004. In January 2005, she and a friend moved to Charlotte, N.C., to “just live the good life,” Oberzan said. She worked in a coffee shop in a nice area known as Dilworth neighborhood.

‘Pleaded for my life’ On Sept. 25, 2005, she went jogging in the neighborhood. It was a Sunday morning. “It was a real popular jogging route, and it was along a busy street. I must have passed a dozen joggers that morning on my route. Lots of people out and about, lots of cars passing by,” Oberzan said. But there was a moment when nobody was around, and that’s when a man jumped out from a bush and grabbed Oberzan from behind. He had what appeared to be a knife and threatened her. He dragged her from the sidewalk to behind an office building, where he raped her. “I pleaded for my life. I begged for my life. Please see SURVIVOR, page 2A

walks in and sees Calderón. “I’ll try not to talk so fast this time,” she says. In the middle of a hearing a week earlier in the same domestic battery case, Calderón had to raise his hand to ask Huff to have Skinner slow down when she was speaking so he could more easily translate the exact words to the defendant. Calderón smiles and cordially says thank you to Skinner. “It’s OK. I had coffee before I came here,” Calderón says as they laugh. Minutes later the defense attorney and Huff enter. The judge calls the case and reminds Calderón that he’s still under oath, and the parties begin the hearing. It’s mostly the attorneys and judge talking over matters, but you can hear a soft sound, slightly louder

Lane Eisenhart is a realist when it comes to the future of her neighborhood’s beloved elementary, New York School. She’d like to see it remain open, or perhaps even expanded, as the Lawrence school district weighs options for consolidating schools — moves intended to help grapple with declining state revenue while improving efficiency and preserving or even improving student achieveSCHOOLS ment. She knows New York is in the crosshairs and considers it understandable. “I can see the need for consolidation — the budget cuts and all that,” said Eisenhart, mother of a current fourth-grader and an incoming kindergartner. “I realize it’s a very small school and not very efficient. “I see consolidation as a reality, and I say it will happen. But I could be happiest in the outcome if I could be part of the process.” Just what role folks like Eisenhart might play in consolidation decisions will start taking shape Monday night, as members of the Lawrence school board meet at 7 p.m. at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive. Board members already have embraced an appointed task force’s recommendation that six elementaries — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill schools — should be considered for consolidation. Within three to five years, the task force said, the list of remaining schools should be reduced to three or four, using expected proceeds from a bond issue to finance necessary additions, expansions or new construction.

First, it’s probably best that you picture the scene and the people who came up with this. It’s 1976 in the computer center at Kansas University’s Summerfield Hall. The computer was one of the few on campus, and it’s a pretty big computer — a Honeywell 635 mainframe computer, in fact. It used punch cards. It took up a whole corner of Summerfield Hall in the basement, but it

“

IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES; IT WAS THE PITS.” — Honk from 1976, No. 88 didn’t have as much computing power as most of today’s smartphones. It was used for administrative and academic functions of the university, but some students and other young people had access to it, too. Two of them, Alexander Barket

and John Borak, wrote a program in 1976 that served as something like today’s social media platforms. The program was called “Honk,” and it allowed users of the mainframe to post anonymous electronic messages that could be read by other users. “Everybody who wanted to know anything about programming hung out at the Comp Center,” said Barket, who still lives in Lawrence and works as a research analyst for KU’s School of Social Welfare and other agencies.

Borak, an undergraduate student looking for a project, came to Barket, who had worked for the School of Business, but now was just sort of hanging around the center and buying computer time for his projects. Barket suggested they build a program that served as a sort of bulletin board for the programming community. Today, Borak works in Bluetooth software engineering for Continental Tire and lives in Cary, Ill. Please see HONK, page 2A

DEATHS RANDALL W. ‘RANDY’ WOODHEAD Burial and graveside memorial services for Randall W. “Randy” Woodhead, 57, Fort Worth, Texas, are planned at Memorial Park Cemetery in Lawrence at a later date. Mr. Woodhead died Tuesday, March 22, 2011, at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, Texas. He was Woodhead born Jan. 18, 1954, in Lawrence, the son of Gene and Olive Woodhead. He graduated from Lawrence High School in 1972. Mr. Woodhead earned a

bachelor’s degree in business administration and finance from Kansas State University. In 2001, while awaiting a heart transplant, Mr. Woodhead was one of the first patients to receive a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD-Artificial Heart) at Baylor Hospital. Three weeks later he received a transplant, giving him many more active years. Survivors include a brother, Ray, Shawnee; a sister, Mary Finney, Wylie, Texas; two nephews; and five nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Bob.

This hearing lasts only a few minutes, but Calderón, a Lawrence resident, has handled much longer ones. Last fall he interpreted a sex crime trial that lasted for several days, including the testimony of the defendant — during which he had to interpret the questions from the attorneys in English to Spanish and then the defendant’s responses in Spanish to English for the court reporter, jury, attorneys and the judge. He prides himself on interpreting every word that is said and not trying to add anything or put something in his own words. And he’s not afraid to ask for a pause in court proceedings. “It’s important. It is like public speaking,” Calderón said. “It is like being someone who is on stage, and you have to have a little bit of confidence to do that.”

When police arrived, she agreed to go to the hospital where she had a forensic medical exam and nurses collected DNA evidence. A few weeks later, police notified Oberzan that the DNA evidence was linked to two unsolved rapes in Charlotte. News quickly spread that there was a serial rapist in the area, and media referred to Oberzan as the Dilworth jogger. Less than a month later, she moved back to Lawrence to be close to her family and friends, and to avoid media attention. “I have a wonderful, closeknit family support system,” she said.

Catching the criminal One and a half years later, she was working at Kansas University and received a phone call from the detective who had worked on her case. They had caught her rapist, Jose Rivera-Mejia. He had been convicted of stealing a car and therefore, had to submit his DNA. Once that DNA was included in the national database, it matched all three rapes. “Just knowing that he was in custody brought so much relief to me,” she said. “Until then, I was always looking over my shoulder.” Oberzan learned that Rivera-Mejia had been arrested for a felony crime a couple of weeks before her rape but was released. A month after her rape, he was arrested for another felony and was released again. He didn’t have to submit DNA because he hadn’t been convicted. “That was real frustrating to know,” she said. Rivera-Mejia pleaded guilty to 10 charges, including three counts of first-degree rape and four counts of second-degree kidnapping. In November 2008, as Oberzan watched, he was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

EDITORS undergoing physical therapy. He’s also interpreted via satellite for Cuban inmates in custody of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons when they undergo psychiatric evaluations with a doctor in the Kansas City area. Calderón also gets work when he can translating letters and documents. Now he’s helping translate a letter from a church in Venezuela to the Archbishop of the Anglican Church of England. Calderón, 43, lives just west of Lawrence with his wife, Marta CalderónSchwartz, a local massage therapist, and their 6-yearold son, Ivan Valentino Calderón. One of his first main interpreting jobs didn’t come from the courtroom at all. He was looking for work in the mid1990s when owners of Wheatfields Bakery and Café asked him in 1995 to translate for master mason Manuel de la Rosa of Barcelona as a crew constructed the oven at 904 Vt. Beyond translating, Calderon also helped build the wood-fired oven.

Roots Calderón has a personal connection to his work. He was born in Colombia and moved with his family to New York when he was 3 and later to Overland Park, where his father worked as a cardiologist in Kansas City, Kan. The Calderón household was bilingual. He attended KU and studied abroad in Paris but didn’t finish his degree. He’s moved back to Lawrence twice, most recently in 2003. Many of his clients and defendants he interprets for are from Central America. “I love to do what I do. I love people,” Calderón said. “And I was raised by parents that really put in our hearts to be compassionate to other people.” Kevin Babbit, a Lawrence attorney, said Calderón works to tell his clients word-forword what an attorney says and vice versa.

Think about 19-year-olds who have spent their lives in front of a computer screen playing all sorts of games, who suddenly have access to the machine behind the games, he said. These were incredibly smart people, he said, who were interested in soaking up as much as they could about programming. As for other social graces, well … “These are people who probably didn’t even own a white shirt and tie,” said Nordlund, who is retired but still lives in Lawrence and works as a consultant.

detail in Spanish, he asks the attorney’s permission. “There are a lot of interpreters. James is one of those who does it exactly how an attorney and exactly how the court wants him to do it,” said Babbit, who has worked with Calderón for more than 12 years here and in other counties. Calderón wants to fulfill not only the oath he’s administered every time he’s in court but a more detailed one for interpreters. “I’m there to interpret everything that’s said completely and accurately without omitting anything, without changing anything, without paraphrasing and certainly to never, never ever give my own opinion or offer any kind of advice,” he said. He aims to be an impartial communicator. His work can often be overlooked with the magnitude of a court proceeding, but he knows his job is important.

Making an impact A story that sticks with him doesn’t come from the courtroom, though. A few years ago, he was called by the Midwest Transplant Network to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., in the middle of the night to translate for a family of a man who had been shot in the head. The man died due to brain damage, and he had to relay the doctor’s wrenching message to family members. “I remember that moment when the family asked ‘Is he going to make it?’ The doctor says ‘no,’” Calderón said. “It wasn’t until I translated the word no — it’s the same word as it is in English — but it wasn’t until I said no that they reacted, and that was a really impactful thing. “It’s something that will always stay with me, and I will always remember how important it is to interpret and how important the words that I’m interpreting are.” — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144.

Barket and Borak aren’t sure whether anyone would enjoy a book. The worst that could happen is that no one cares, Borak said. But it’s still fun to look back through the old honks, they said. Some make fun of Jimmy Carter (one Honker summarized his acceptance speech: “B’DEAH, B’DEAH, B’DEAH.... DUH?”), and others provide a window to the past — one joke about cocaine remarks that if the drug “isn’t fresh, then I’m outta business,” a reference to an old Wonder Bread commercial where a farmer (and a loaf of bread) say that line. The community slowly died out, Barket said, but not before some people learned a lesson that’s still relevant today. “Be careful what you write where everyone else can read it,” he said. — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

Farmers’ Market celebrates 35th anniversary 1 | CAIRO

Protesters’ ire swells after raid Thousands of demonstrators barricaded themselves in Cairo’s central square with burned-out troop carriers and barbed wire Saturday and demanded the removal of the military council ruling Egypt, infuriated after soldiers stormed their protest camp overnight, killing at least one person and injuring 71 others. In a sign the confrontation could escalate, the military warned Saturday evening that it will clear Tahrir Square of protesters “with all force and decisiveness” for life to get back to normal. The warning could presage a repeat of the scene before dawn, when hundreds of soldiers, including a highly trained parachute unit, swarmed into Tahrir Square, firing in the air and beating protesters with clubs and shocking some with electrical batons. Troops dragged away protesters, while others staggered away bleeding from beatings and gunshot wounds. Witnesses reported two killed, though the Health Ministry insisted there was only one death. 2 | DUBLIN

500-pound van bomb defused A 500-pound van bomb defused Saturday near the Irish border probably was destined to strike a town center or landmark building in a bid to undermine Northern Ireland’s election campaign, police and political leaders said. Police Chief Superintendent Alasdair Robinson said the dissident IRA bomb left Thursday night under a freeway overpass was properly constructed but abandoned before it could be detonated. He said it was likely that the attackers stopped short of their intended target because of a police road checkpoint. Robinson said the bomb — roughly double the size of a half-dozen car bombs that Irish Republican Army dissidents detonated last year in Northern Ireland — “was a sophisticated device and it would have been devastating had it reached its destination.” 3 | BEIRUT

Syrian forces fire at funeral mourners Syrian security forces fired on mourners at a funeral for slain protesters Saturday as authorities vowed to crush any new unrest from a three-week uprising that showed no sign of letting up even as the death toll topped 170. Activists vowed to accelerate their movement with daily protests nationwide, bringing new pressure on President Bashar Assad’s authoritarian regime. Assad has answered the tens of thousands of protesters with both force and limited concessions that have failed to appease an emboldened movement inspired by the Arab uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. 4 | TOKYO

Troops launch new search for victims The Japanese and U.S. militaries are launching another all-out search for the bodies of earthquake and tsunami victims along Japan’s ravaged coast. About 22,000 Japanese troops, along with 110 from the U.S., will search by land, air and sea today. They’ll skip the evacuation zone around the damaged nuclear complex that is spewing radiation. Troops and police officers have also been searching within the evacuation zone, but it is dangerous, painstaking work.

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

Fight club gets its kicks in garage By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

Mark Farr has seen people lose their teeth in his garage. He’s broken a toe, and he’s had friends pop their knees out of place or dislocate their ribs. But none of those friends was upset about the injuries. The walls and floor of Farr’s garage in Eudora are lined with padding. It’s where three to four times a week area men meet to practice mixed martial arts, or MMA. They call it “garage club.” “Not a lot of people think getting kicked or punched or choked or tapped out is fun, but we do,” said Clint Moncrief, one of the club’s organizers. Moncrief, 38, met Farr a year ago, when he chided Farr for driving through his neighborhood too quickly. The two discovered a shared love for MMA, and Farr offered to let Moncrief work out in his garage. The club was born. Please see GARAGE, page 4A

Comet, a yellow Labrador retriever, was diagnosed with a tumor, called thymoma, last week. Mochizuki is seeking donations for the $6,000 surgery to remove the tumor, which is

between Comet’s throat and heart. Without surgery, which would be performed at the Kansas State University Veterinary Clinic, Comet could have less than six months to live. Comet has been a constant companion for Mochizuki and the dog is well known throughout the history department. Eric Rath, a professor of history, recently sent out an email to the department asking for donations. “We all hope that Comet will continue to be her companion for many years to come,” wrote Rath. Mochizuki will defend her dissertation this summer, and she

hopes to bring Comet, who’s been with her since she started at KU. “I do hope Comet will be there,” she said. Donations can be made at Commerce Bank, where Mochizuki has opened a special fund for Comet, or checks can be made out to Mochizuki and sent to Sandee Kennedy at KU’s history department, 3650 Wescoe Hall, 1445 Jayhawk Blvd., Lawrence, KS 66045. For further information, email Mochizuki at mochizukichikako@ku.edu. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

“It keeps me in shape,” Moncrief said. “It keeps me prepared for the bad guys.” Anywhere from six to 15 people meet in the garage a few times a week, practicing techniques, working out and sparring. MMA combines multiple styles of fighting, including karate, muay thai, jiu jitsu, kickboxing and wrestling. Moncrief said more established clubs often look down on garage clubs, saying members just practice moves they watched on YouTube. But Moncrief said each member brings his own knowledge to the club, and a few have fought in MMA cage fights. “We’re actually getting a little bit of quality training,” Moncrief said. “None of us are black belts or professional instructors, but we try to help each other out.” Craig Welch, 33, won a light heavyweight amateur MMA belt in 2008. He intended to fight only once to try it out and ended up taking 14 fights instead. Welch instructs the younger fighters on technique. “If you don’t train, you’ll get murdered out there,” he said.

SEAN SINCLAIR, 20, top, works against Justin Barstow, 22, during an afternoon practice. Several mixed martial arts fighters use Mark Farr’s garage in Eudora as a training site. But proper technique doesn’t always prevent injury. Welch once had to stop fighting in Colorado to get multiple stitches under his eye. He’s also been kneed in the face. But injury is part of the game, and Moncrief said it’s something fighters get used to. “We don’t mind having the other guy punching you in the nose,” he said. “It’s worth it as long as nobody ends up in the hospital. We’re not try-

ing to hurt each other.” Between punches to the nose and knees to the face, the men at the gym have formed a bond. The club is boys-only, by the rules of Farr’s wife.

In fact, Moncrief used to train in martial arts but fell out of practice. He decided to start again so he could keep up with his kids and eventually became hooked. All the other guys are hooked, too, despite the pain they could endure. Some members, most whom are in their mid-20s, were high school wrestlers, and others started karate as youngsters or have taken MMA fights. They all have the same goals, though: stay in shape, learn MMA techniques and stay out of the hospital. “Some of it is painful,” Moncrief said, “even in practice.”

BRIEFLY VNA fundraiser set for Saturday

Bert Nash finalist for national award

The Douglas County Visiting Nurses, Rehabilitation and Hospice Care agency is gearing up for its fifth annual “3.d Dine, Dance and Donate” fundraiser. Here’s how it works: 1. Plan a party — such as barbecue, breakfast, brunch, tailgate, wine tasting — on or near Saturday. 2. Invite friends to join. 3. Ask guests to “buy” their meal or appetizers by making a donation to the VNA agency. 4. Invite your guests to a communitywide party between 7:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Saturday in The Oread’s Griffith Ballroom. There will be drinks, dancing, dessert, and silent and live auctions. The agency’s goal is to raise $25,000. So far, 25 parties are planned. The VNA also will have a community dinner buffet at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at The Oread, before the main event. The cost is $50 per ticket. If you would like to host a party or attend the community dinner, call the VNA at 8433738.

Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center is being recognized nationally for its Mental Health First Aid program. The program is a 12-hour course that helps the public identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Bert Nash has been picked as one of four finalists for a Community Impact Award and it comes with $5,000, which would be used to finance the Mental Health First Aid program. Judges picked the finalists, but now the public decides the winner by voting on the Facebook page for Mental Health First Aid USA. Voting began Thursday and will continue through this Friday. The winner will be announced April 18. Bert Nash is competing against organiza-

tions in Chicago, Santa Fe, N.M., and Dubuque, Iowa. In 2008, the Bert Nash Center was one of the seven pilot sites in the country to offer Mental Health First Aid. Since then, the center has trained almost 400 participants.

Kansas Union Jayhawk knocked over

Man arrested in armed disturbance

The Classic Jayhawk sculpture that sits in front of the Kansas Union on the Kansas University campus was the victim of some shenanigans early Saturday. KU Public Safety dispatchers received a call about 1:20 a.m. that two women dressed in black were near the sculpture. Upon investigation, KU police discovered the Jayhawk had been knocked over. Officers were able to find the two suspects, who said they had been taking a picture with the campus icon when one of them climbed onto it, causing it to fall over. While officers were talking to the women, public safety dispatchers received additional reports that three men were attempting to walk away with the sculpture. The Jayhawk was recovered and is currently in KU Public Safety custody. The Jayhawk sculptures are no strangers to theft attempts and vandalism. It has been a recurring issue since the 30 pieces of art debuted for Jayhawks on Parade in 2003. The Classic Jayhawk that was victimized Saturday morning is not the original. It was replaced in 2006 by a stronger version to help it withstand the high traffic area. There was no additional information available regarding the incident Saturday evening.

Lawrence police arrested a 26-year-old Lawrence man following a reported armed disturbance that took place early Saturday morning in the 2900 block of Missouri Street. According to Lawrence police Sgt. Susan Hadl, the incident was first reported about 12:45 a.m. The incident is believed to have started as a domestic situation. Hadl said a man and woman in the area had been arguing, eventually taking the verbal altercation into the street. At the same time, friends of neighbors in the area were arriving at the scene. Hadl said what ensued appeared to be a misunderstanding, and the new arrivals believed some of the angry words from the couple's altercation were being directed at them. They proceeded to exchange words. The suspect then reportedly went inside the residence and returned with a shotgun, which he pointed in the new arrivals' direction. Hadl said no threats were made with the shotgun, no shots were fired and no one was injured. The suspect was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and booked into the Douglas County Jail about 11 a.m. Saturday.

bers to chart a course for such work, and they’ll have until July 1 before four of their seven members — including the two co-chairmen of the 24-member Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force — leave office. Vanessa Sanburn, who still has two years remaining on her board term, followed election results April 5 and understands the importance of ensuring that the public has a real say in helping shape the implementation of consolidation. “All four candidates who won campaigned on a similar idea, that public input is important in the consolidation process,” Sanburn said. “If we were to ignore that idea, or move forward without taking seriously the recommendations from the task force that strongly encourage us to get the community members and Sanburn stakeholders involved, it wouldn’t work.” Yet Sanburn is careful to note that the input should be directed to how consolidation should occur, not whether it should occur at all. The task force studied the issue for eight months and came up with a firm recommendation: Consolidate schools. “There’s a lot at stake,” said Sanburn, a graduate student at Kansas University. “Realistically, with the budget constraints we’re operating under, if the consolidation plan doesn’t move forward it’s possible that closures will be discussed. “It’s not like if the bond issue doesn’t pass, we’re going to be able to keep everything the same. Change has to happen. It’s just a matter of figuring out what’s the best, positive change for the community.” Rick Ingram, the top votegetter in the April 5 election, understands the task force’s recommendation. But he’s careful to point out that it came from the task force, not the broader public that would be relied upon to approve the implementation of consolidation through a bond issue. “I think if consolidation truly comes from the community, and the community can support it, then that’s consistent with the idea of community voice,” said Ingram, a professor of psychology at KU. “It comes down to the input of the community: You have to look at, what does consolidation really mean? Does it mean moving entire communities of kids together? If that’s the kind of thing, then maybe the community does support it. If it means something else, then I don’t know.” One thing is clear, he said: “If the community doesn’t support it, it’s not going to happen. You have to listen to your constituents.” — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Budget pact shows gains for both Obama, Boehner By Andrew Taylor

“

When we say we’re serious about cutting spending, we’re damn serious — Rivals in a about it.”

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON divided government, President Barack Obama and the most powerful Republican in Congress split their differences to stave off a federal shutdown that neither combatant was willing to risk. Their compromise is the result of a battle pitting the enduring power of the presidential veto and the White House soapbox — despite a “shellacking” in the last election — against a strongwilled GOP House speaker vaulted into office by a voter revolt against Washington’s free-spending ways. The resulting measure will bleed about $40 billion from the day-to-day budgets of domestic agencies over just the next six months, the biggest rollback of such government programs in history. It allows Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to claim his GOP shock troops had put Cabinet department operating budgets on track toward levels in place before Obama took office. In the end, the White House had to meet Boehner more than halfway on spending. On the other side was a strong-willed Obama, who mostly succeeded in forcing Republicans to cave in on dozens of controversial conservative policy prescrip-

— Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on Friday hours before the budget agreement tions — including rolling back environmental protections and cutting off Planned Parenthood from taxpayer assistance while protecting favored programs like education, clean energy and medical research. It was, in short, the type of split-the-differences deal that a political scientist might have predicted from the start, given the realities of divided government. Obama stood firm against GOP attempts to block the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to issue global warming rules and other reversals of environmental regulations. Obama’s wins on the environment were matched by a bitter battle in which he said no way to GOP demands to cut off Planned Parenthood from federal help. The results, taken together, pleased core Democratic constituencies of environmentalists and women. But it’s clearly a win for Boehner, who despite accepting billions of dollars in questionable savings demanded by Democrats as a substitute for cuts in domestic pro-

grams, ended up basically where he started in the first place. The original plan backed by Boehner in February called for cuts in the range of $35 billion as a campaign promise down payment that reflected the fact that the budget year was half over. But conservative Republicans, many elected with teaparty backing, demanded far bigger cuts of more than $60 billion that would have led to widespread furloughs and harm to programs like food inspection, tax collection and U.S. overseas diplomatic efforts. The final deal, a product of weeks of wrangling, got Republicans back to their original goal, while avoiding most of the harsher effects of the tea party-backed version. “We’re not going to roll over and sell out the American people like it’s been done time and time again here in Washington,” Boehner said Friday, hours before the agreement came together. “When we say we’re serious about cutting spending, we’re damn serious about it.”

LIBYA

Rebels face military surge on key city By Sebastian Abbot Associated Press Writer

AJDABIYA, LIBYA — Government soldiers and rebel gunmen battled in the streets of a key front-line city Saturday after the Libyan military used shelling and guerrilla-style tactics to open its most serious push into opposition territory since international airstrikes began. At least eight people were killed, a hospital official said. Recapturing Ajdabiya would give the Libyan military a staging ground to attack the rebels’ main stronghold, Benghazi, about 100 miles farther east along the coastal highway. Moammar Gadhafi’s forces were approaching Benghazi when they were driven back by the international air campaign launched last month to protect civilians and ground Gadhafi’s aircraft. For the rebels, losing the city would effectively bottle them into a coastal strip of eastern Libya and allow government forces to more tightly squeeze the few opposition pockets in the rest of the country, including the besieged western port of Misrata, where heavy clashes continued Saturday for a second day. The push into Ajdabiya was launched even as international envoys opened fresh

initiatives for a peace deal. The African Union said it planned to send a team to Libya today to begin meetings with the government and rebel leaders. In the capital Tripoli, meanwhile, Gadhafi made his first public appearance in weeks with a visit to a school. Children jumped on desks and gave f ist-pumping chants: “The people want Moammar the leader!” Wearing large black sunglasses and a brown turban and robe, Gadhafi made no public comments, according to the account on state TV. Gadhafi has remained mostly in hiding since the airstrikes began, preferring to communicate by telephone to government-run television. The battle for Ajdabiya showed how Gadhafi’s forces are adapting their strategies amid NATO airstrikes seeking to cripple the Libyan military.

Small and mobile units — less vulnerable to airstrikes than tanks and other armor — first ambushed a rebel convoy probing the lines outside the city. Government gunners then began shelling Ajdabiya from desert positions and later ferried soldiers into the streets using civilian vehicles in attempts to foil NATO pilots. A possible NATO airstrike, kicking up a huge mushroom cloud, temporarily halted the shelling. NATO officials did not immediately confirm the attack. A helicopter gunship — possibly a rebel aircraft coming from the direction of Benghazi — passed over the city during the fighting. By nightfall, heavy gunfire was heard from apparent block-to-block combat inside the city, which had about 1 50,000 residents before many fled for safer areas.

Arizona sports battle may spur lawsuit

EDITORIALS

Tax token Using tax breaks to attract new residents to rural Kansas may offer only limited benefits.

n Monday, Gov. Sam Brownback plans to travel around the state to hold four ceremonial signings of legislation he strongly supported this year. The bill will declare 50 Kansas counties as “rural opportunity zones.” Most of those counties have seen their populations drop by more than 10 percent in the last decade, and the bill offers some financial incentives to try to reverse that trend. People who move to some of those counties from another state wouldn’t have to pay Kansas income taxes from 2012 to 2016. The bill also authorizes counties to tap into state matching funds to help new residents repay up to $15,000 in student loans. Any effort to try to shore up the declining population in rural areas of Kansas is welcome, but it’s hard to imagine that this tax break will be enough to overcome the other economic factors at work in these Kansas counties. It’s nice not to have to pay state income tax, but it only matters if you have an income. As the agriculture economy changes, the lack of business and industry to provide decent jobs in many of these counties has been a big factor in their loss of population. For better or worse, in many of those counties, the government has been one of the biggest employers, but many of those jobs are being cut back. There is no small amount of irony in the fact that, at the same time “rural opportunity zones” are being created, other legislative actions are working against many rural communities. Continued reductions in school funding, for instance, will force many small school districts to consider consolidation moves that may close the only remaining schools in some small towns. The loss of those schools not only reduces the number of teaching jobs but is a huge factor in the quality of life that could help attract new residents — with or without a tax exemption. Another quality of life issue is the governor’s effort to replace the Kansas Arts Commission with a private foundation. The Senate overrode his executive order to abolish the commission but Brownback still could — and some observers believe he will — use his lineitem veto to remove any funding for the arts commission from the state budget. Without that funding, and the federal funding it would leverage for the state, many rural communities will have no way to support arts endeavors that would contribute to the quality of life that would help keep new residents in those communities after their income tax exemptions run out. The “rural opportunity” bill provides a small, but concrete, benefit to people who choose to relocate. Perhaps the “rural opportunity” bill will attract a few entrepreneurs who will help create new jobs and bring new vitality to some communities. We hope so. The reality is, however, that the benefits of this bill probably will only scratch the surface of helping rural Kansas overcome its current economic and population challenges.

PHOENIX — Suburban Glendale is less a community with professional sports facilities than a sports enterprise with a community held hostage to previous improvident decisions. Now Glendale’s government may multiply its follies — unless Arizona’s Constitution saves the city from itself. Taxes provided $346 million of the $455 million cost of the huge (up to 72,200 seats) retractableroof NFL stadium where the Arizona Cardinals will play 10 times this season, if there is a season. (The NFL is having labor problems.) But Glendale (population 253,000) has a more immediate problem with its hockey team, the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes. After the team entered bankruptcy in 2009, the NHL bought it for $140 million and has lost at least $30 million operating it. It might decamp to Winnipeg, Manitoba. This would enable Glendale, which spent $180 million on the hockey arena, to cut its losses. Glendale, however, not wanting its eight-year-old arena to sit vacant, wants to sell up to $116 million of municipal bonds so that it can give $100 million to a wealthy Chicago businessman to help him buy the team. With the $100 million, the city would supposedly purchase the right to charge parking fees at the arena the city owns, with the fees going to pay off the bonds. But the city already owns the right it is purchasing: It already imposes a ticket surcharge for parking.

George Will

Now Glendale’s “government may multiply its follies — unless Arizona’s Constitution saves the city from itself.”

If future fees are insufficient, Glendale’s taxpayers will have to make up the shortfall. Furthermore, Glendale would pay the new owner an additional $97 million under a contract, awarded without competitive bidding, to manage the arena through the 2014 season. Fortunately, this folly may be illegal. The Arizona Constitution’s “gift clause” may block Glendale’s booster socialism — the ruinous pursuit of derivative grandeur from sports. The clause was written to prevent crony capitalism — to provide a wall of separation between corporations and government by forbidding government to give corporations gifts, loans, grants or subsidies. The Goldwater Institute, a think tank and advocacy organization

dedicated to the limited-government principles of its namesake, plans to sue, if necessary, to see that Arizona’s Constitution is respected. So the city, which has been dilatory regarding documents sought by the institute, is threatening to sue the institute, which warned bond rating agencies and others about its possible constitutional suit. Glendale correctly says that the suit will add a risk premium to its cost of borrowing. But before the institute announced its intentions, Moody’s, the credit rating agency, responded to Glendale’s idea of taking on another $116 million in debt by lowering the city’s rating. Its debt is already triple the median for comparable cities. Darcy Olsen, the institute’s president and CEO, notes that if questioning a government’s behavior can generate “a retaliatory lawsuit by a legion of government attorneys, then journalists, bloggers and regular citizens across the state are all at risk.” John McCain, who holds the Senate seat once occupied by Barry Goldwater but does not hold Goldwater’s views about governmental minimalism, calls the institute’s actions “disgraceful” and “basically blackmailing”: “It’s not their role to decide whether the Coyotes should stay (here) or not.” Well. Constitutions do not impress the co-author of the McCain-Fein-

gold assault on the First Amendment (his law restricts political speech). But the institute’s job — actually, it is every Arizonan’s job — is to protect the public interest. A virtuoso of indignation, McCain is scandalized that the institute, “a non-elected organization,” is going to cause the loss of “a thousand jobs.” McCain’s jobs number is preposterous, as is his intimation — he has been in elective office for 28 years — that nonelected people should not intervene in civic life. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman agrees with McCain that the world is out of joint when people can second-guess the political class: “It fascinates me that whoever is running the Goldwater Institute can substitute their judgment for that of the Glendale City Council.” He will learn not to provoke Olsen, who says, “It happens to fascinate me greatly that the commissioner thinks a handful of politicians can substitute their judgment for the rule of law.” Warren Meyer of Forbes.com calculates that Glendale’s new plan would bring the city’s spending to almost $400 million on a team valued at $134 million — a team that has lost money in each of its 15 years here. Glendale’s rejoinder to the Goldwater Institute is an attempt at intimidation by lawsuit, which speaks volumes. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Negotiation points

Don’t deny war was about slavery It is not safe ... to trust $800 million worth of negroes in the hands of a power which says that we do not own the property. ... So we must get out ...” — The Daily Constitutionalist, Augusta, Ga., Dec. 1, 1860 “(Northerners) have denounced as sinful the institution of slavery. ... We, therefore, the people of South Carolina ... have solemnly declared that the Union heretofore existing between this State and other States of North America dissolved.” — from “Declaration of the Causes of Secession” “As long as slavery is looked upon by the North with abhorrence ... there can be no satisfactory political union between the two sections.” — New Orleans Bee, Dec. 14, 1860 “Our new government is founded upon ... the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race is his natural and moral condition.” — Alexander Stephens, vice president of the Confederacy, March 21, 1861 On Tuesday morning, it will be 150 years since the Civil War began. The bloodiest war in U.S. history commenced with the bombardment of a fort in Charleston Harbor. President Abraham Lincoln was careful to define it as a war to restore 11 rebellious southern states to the Union — and only that. For those 11 states, it was a war for property rights — property being defined as 4 million human beings. They feared the federal government would not allow the business of trading in human beings to expand to the new territories in the West. By the time the war ended, four years almost to the day later, Lin-

“

But you do not deal with that discomfort by telling lies of omission about yesterday.” coln’s view had changed. He had come to see himself and the war he had prosecuted through 48 bitter months of turmoil and tears, as tools of the Almighty’s judgment upon the nation for having allowed the evil of slavery. The South would change its view as well. It would begin to spin grand, romantic fables of a “Lost Cause” that had been fought for “state’s rights” or constitutional principle, or any other reason it could invent, so long as it was not slavery. Jefferson Davis, who before the war had flatly declared “the labor of African slaves” the cause of the rebellion, would write after the war that slavery had nothing to do with it. Thus, the South entered a conspiracy of amnesia that, for many, continues to this day. As in Virginia naming April Confederate History Month last year in a proclamation that did not mention slavery. And recent attempts in Mississippi to honor Confederate hero Nathan

Bedford Forrest, who led a massacre of unarmed black people and helped found the Ku Klux Klan. And the “Secession Ball” South Carolina hosted in December to, as one man put it, “honor our ancestors for their bravery and tenacity protecting their homes from invasion.” So this seems an apt moment to speak in memory’s defense. As Confederate battle flags flap from truck grills and monuments, as tourists gather around pigeonstained statues of dead rebels baking under the Dixie sun, as Southern apologists seek glory in acts of treason, and as all of the above studiously avoid coming too close to the heart of the matter, to its cause, it is worth remembering that their forebears were not as circumspect. To the contrary, they said clearly and without shame that they fought for slavery. If that makes someone uncomfortable, good. It should. But you do not deal with that discomfort by telling lies of omission about yesterday. You do not deal with it by pretending treason is glory. No, you deal with it by listening to the hard things the past has to say — and learning from them. This nation took so much from the men and women it kidnapped. It took dignity, it took labor, it took family, it took home, it took names. In the end, the last thing any of us has is the memory of ourselves we bequeath the future, the reminder that we were here. And to their everlasting dishonor, some of us want to take that, too. — Leonard Pitts Jr is a columnist for the Miami Herald. He chats with readers from noon to 1 p.m. CDT each Wednesday on www.MiamiHerald.com.

To the editor: The teacher’s union wants a raise. This is despite the fact that most pensioners and many private-sector employees have not seen one in several years — inflation being minimal. Now, don’t get me wrong, teachers deserve a responsible level of remuneration. However, we are in a negotiation over pay and benefits with a union. Perhaps we should put some demands on the table. How about we press the union for new initiatives to improve the professionalism of our educators. Let us seek acceptance of provisions to pay teachers differently based on the need for certain specialties (math, science and special ed for example). How about we ask for differential pay for those taking on added responsibility like training other teachers. Perhaps we should seek the implementation of a more rigorous evaluation system that allows us to limit annual increases for substandard teachers (or remove them). Union negotiations should not be a one-way track. The consumers of educational services also have interests. They should be represented. Simply providing more money for pay and benefits does very little to improve the quality of education in Lawrence (other districts will match us). Unless we can remove poor performers and reward excellence, we will make quality gains at best on the margins. Lawrence prides itself on being progressive. Let us show that progressive spirit with our educational system. How about some real negotiations? George Lippencott, Lawrence

Businesses consider material-sharing plan JOPLIN, MO. — Business owners in southwest Missouri will be offered a chance to form a network that would share leftover materials from one business with another that could use the materials for production. The byproduct synergy, or BPS, network is a growing movement across the country that is designed to reduce business waste while also cutting operating costs for businesses and creating jobs. “In a byproduct synergy network, you match one organization’s waste products with another organization’s feed materials,” said Sue Adams, with Able Manufacturing & Assembly of Joplin. “This could divert tons of waste from a landfill. We think it could be worthwhile for us, as a region, to explore setting one of these up.” Active BPS networks are functioning in the Chicago, Houston, Kansas City, Seattle, mid-Ohio and other areas, said Adams. The concept will be discussed at a symposium Tuesday at Missouri Southern State University. Speakers will discuss sustainable business practices; how a byproduct synergy network functions; and how to organize a network.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY LINEBACKER DARIUS WILLIS, CENTER, RAISES HIS HAND as he and other linebackers come together in a huddle during spring workouts on Friday at the KU practice field. Willis, a transfer from Buffalo, is looking to make an immediate impact on the KU defense this upcoming fall.

For most of 2010, Kansas University linebacker Darius Willis, a transfer from Buffalo, sat quietly and did his best to be part of the team. But the metal bleachers he sat on and the short chain-link fence between him and the KU bench made it hard to be heard. That was on Saturdays, game days, when the Jayhawks struggled to a 3-9 record and desperately missed the kind of help Willis could have provided. It’s not as if Willis was some kind of Ray Lewis clone who could have started right away and made 100 tackles from his spot in the middle of the KU defense. Not yet, anyway. But he could’ve helped. He could’ve brought depth to a thin position. He could’ve brought the kind of toughness that earned him allstate and all-district honors at Eisenhower High in Houston his senior year. He could’ve brought experience, the kind that made him the only true freshman to start at Buffalo in 2009 before an injury cost him the final eight games of his first season of college football. Willis could have done a lot of the things for the Jayhawks last year. But the funny thing is, even without doing anything, he made quite a name for himself. Speaking at his season-ending news conference a few days after the team’s loss to Missouri last November, KU coach Turner Gill laid out what people could expect from Willis in 2011 and beyond. He did not hold back. “He already has shown tremendous leadership,” Gill said of Willis back in November. “I’m not only speaking on my behalf, but I’m also speaking on behalf of the players. I gave them a little survey and asked them to choose who they believed would be great leaders for us as we go into our offseason program. I think (Willis) gathered about 80 percent of the votes. That was kind of an eye-opening thing, as this guy was on the compete team this past season, but our guys have already spoken about him being a leader.” Though he earned numerous honors for his behind-the-scenes efforts with the Jayhawks last

21-year old carrying 4-stroke advantage By Ryan Gilchrest The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph

A U G U S T A , G A . — The f ield chased furiously, but the freshfaced 21-year-old slipped from its grasp.

But the exclamation point came at 17. From the back of the green, his 20-foot putt first broke right, then left, then dropped in. He lifted his putter and pumped his fist twice, allowing himself a rare burst of emotion. “It was a bonus for that putt to go in,” McIlroy said. “Been waiting for one to go in all day.”

NU evens series with KU in chippy affair By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS THIRD BASE COACH JAY UHLMAN, RIGHT, ARGUES with an umpire before being tossed. KU fell to Nebraska, 4-2, on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark.

If it wasn’t clear Friday night how important this weekend’s series between the Kansas University and Nebraska University baseball teams is, it became that way on Saturday. In a game that featured a bevy of high-intensity, emotional moments, the Cornhuskers topped the Jayhawks, 4-2, evening the series at 1-apiece and setting up one heck of a finale at noon today.

“Our players will tell you that the two biggest rivalries on our schedule are Missouri and Nebraska,” said KU coach Ritch Price, whose team fell to 14-17 overall and 5-6 in Big 12 play. “We don’t feel like that about K-State and I gotta do a better job getting that across. Because it is with KState, but the reality of it is, it’s about Missouri and then the second biggest rival we have is Nebraska. I think that’s a tribute to how great their program’s been the last decade.” Saturday, the Cornhuskers (21-

12, 3-5) flashed a little of that greatness and also a little of the feistiness that has made this series one of the most intense on KU’s schedule during the last several seasons. Despite a strong showing from KU starter Tanner Poppe, the Huskers picked up two runs in the third and pushed across two more in the fifth. All four came after KU miscues, a reversal of fortunes from Friday night. “(Friday), we made a couple of mistakes defensively and were able to get out of it without giv-

ing up any runs,” Price said. “(Saturday), we made two crucial errors and each time they hurt us and put up a crooked number and that was the difference in the ballgame.” Words were exchanged between players, coaches argued with umpires and each play seemed to be made with a little extra venom throughout Saturday’s game. “We’re fighting for our lives, for our season,” said Poppe, who Please see KU BASEBALL, page 3B

Chen mystifies Tigers on mound, lifts Royals to 3-1 victory By Noah Trister Associated Press Sports Writer

DETROIT — Bruce Chen baffled the Detroit Tigers for most of the afternoon, and when someone finally hit a ball hard, his fielders

were there to halt a promising rally. Chen allowed three hits over six impressive innings, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Tigers, 3-1, on Saturday. The left-hander’s final pitch

was hit to the left-field corner by Magglio Ordonez for a double, but outf ielder Alex Gordon chased down the ball, and Alcides Escobar’s relay to the plate beat Detroit’s Will Rhymes, who tried to score from first.

“That was a huge play. I felt like I pitched well, but my defense has been great,” Chen said. “Gordon hustled to get to that ball, and Escobar made a real good throw.” Wilson Betemit and Escobar

Kenseth ends 76-race drought FORT WORTH, TEXAS (AP) — Matt Kenseth had a dominating run at Texas, breaking a 76-race NASCAR Sprint Cup winless streak Saturday night. Kenseth led 169 of 334 laps at the 1 1⁄2-mile, high-banked track for his 19th career victory, his first since California in February 2009. Since his other win at Texas in 2002,

Kenseth had four runner-up finishes, including last fall behind Denny Hamlin, and six other top10 finishes at the track. This time, the No. 17 Roush Fenway Ford was only trailing late behind Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch when both of those drivers were out of sequence on stops and trying to stretch fuel in hopes of

I’d get a chance to get here again,” Kenseth said in Victory Lane. Kenseth led nine different times and won with an average speed of 149.234 mph. The race featured 31 lead changes among 13 drivers.

AUGUSTA, GA. — The roar engulfed Tiger Woods as he walked up the final fairway, but he never smiled, never touched his cap, never even looked up, and how could he? The cheers were not for him. The cheers were for the next him. As Woods was splattering the finishing touches on a round that decorated Augusta National like some unrecognizable graffiti, the kid in the pairing behind him was sinking a 30-foot birdie putt to complete a masterpiece. Woods approached the giant scoreboard just as a large red “12” was posted next to Rory McIlroy’s name, and the fans erupted, and if that didn’t feel like the passing of the torch, well, just wait a day. With one long afternoon remaining, the 75th Masters is being grasped by the thick hands of a 21-year-old who is trying to be what Woods once was, stealing the love that Woods once felt, and the comparison is startling. In Saturday’s steamy third round, the tourney-long leading McIlroy calmly collected three birdies on the difficult final six holes, finishing with a two-under-par 70 to bring his three-day total to 12 under, good enough to lead a foursome by four strokes. Woods, who began the day three strokes behind McIlroy, is not in that foursome after fumbling and slipping and falling seven strokes back. McIlroy made this tournament’s trademark gesture thus far with a rousing overthe-top fist pump after sinking that last birdie putt. Woods, who practically created the fist pump, instead applied his stamp with a rousing curse word that was mouthed on television and clear to millions. Those who thought Woods’ Friday charge would lead him to his first win in 17 months were probably wrong. Those who thought McIlroy ever even looked over his shoulder were absolutely wrong. “The way we played the last nine holes yesterday, you would expect him to come out and play well,” McIlroy said of Woods. “Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t.” He shrugged. “But as I said, I really don’t care about anyone else in this golf tournament.” Judging from the way McIlroy played Saturday, it’s safe to assume that he treats all his competitors like that messy mop of black hair on his head, simply tucking them under his cap and playing on. “The way he’s hitting it, he’s going to be very, very tough to catch,” said Jason Day, who joins Angel Cabrera, Charl Schwartzel and K.J. Choi in trailing the leader by four strokes, Judging from the way Woods played, it’s safe to wonder if he has passed that red sweater to his younger admirers for good. McIlroy and Day have talked this week about being inspired as young children by watching Woods’ 1997 Masters victory. They have both since made it clear that this is not the same Woods. After a brief period of pleasantries a day earlier, Saturday’s Woods once again missed putts he should make, slipped on approach shots he should nail, and reacted with the same immature club pounding and wailing that has long been his trademark. The best chance to catch the kid would seem to belong to Cabrera, who is the only player in the top eight who has won a major. But even the legendary quiet paddling of the Argentine known as “El Pato” — the duck — might not be enough to rattle McIlroy. Remember the talk about McIlroy receiving inspiration from fellow Northern Ireland native Graeme McDowell, who last summer became the first Irishman to win the U.S. Open? Well, it’s still happening, sort of. “Actually, he just texted me and told me he loves me,” McIlroy said Saturday night, pausing. “I don’t know what that means. I don’t know if that’s him or the beer talking.” Come this afternoon, it could be the world talking, praising golf’s wonder child in words will not only sound refreshing, but familiar. Just ask Tiger.

MINNESOTA DULUTH GOALIE KENNY REITER, CENTER, LEAPS IN THE AIR as his teammates celebrate in the background. The Bulldogs edged Michigan, 3-2, in overtime of the NCAA hockey championship game Saturday in St. Paul, Minn. It’s the first men’s hockey title for Minnesota Duluth.

Manny Ramirez at ease with retirement NEW YORK — Unwilling to face another drug ban, Manny Ramirez is leaving baseball and at peace with his decision while the sport confronts the specter of steroids again. “I’m at ease,” Ramirez told ESPNdeportes.com by phone from his home in Miami. “God knows what’s best (for me). I’m now an officially retired baseball player. I’ll be going away on a trip to Spain with my old man.” One of the game’s great sluggers, Ramirez tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance and wasted little time in saying he was done with the game. Some in baseball were baffled that he would get caught again violating Major League Baseball’s drug policy. Others were upset that baseball is still dealing with the questions of steroid use with the current trial of Barry Bonds and the upcoming trial of Roger Clemens. “Any time that this comes up, it’s kind of a black eye for baseball,” New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Saturday. “It’s sad that we keep trying to put this behind us, this era that they talk about, and it just keeps resurfacing — the trials coming up, you have what happened with Manny and, you know, it’s sad because you want the game to be clean.” Others were disappointed that another player walked away in shame. “Until the past couple of years, I thought he was on his way to the Hall of Fame,” Texas manager Ron Washington said. “I don’t think many guys got as many big hits in their careers as he has. There weren’t many guys who had as big an effect on a game as he had. “You hate to see greatness all of a sudden just fade.”

good about the Running Rebels coaching vacancy, the former Charlotte Bobcats coach told SI.com on Saturday. Brown, 70, was fired by the Bobcats in December. UNLV released a statement Friday that interviews were complete. The Las Vegas Sun has indicated Brown is not a serious candidate. The job is expected to go to either Dave Rice or Reggie Theus, the Sun has indicated.

UConn’s Calhoun still undecided BOSTON — Jim Calhoun was excited to return to Fenway Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. The longtime Red Sox fan is in no rush to decide whether to return as coach of Connecticut. Just five days after leading the Huskies to the NCAA basketball championship for the third time, the Boston native said Saturday he hasn’t decided whether to come back for a 26th season. “I can guarantee you I haven’t made my mind up in any way,” Calhoun said. “I’m just going to try to get this team ready for next year and we’ll see what happens.”

Georgia Tech hires WSU assistant ATLANTA — New Georgia Tech coach Brian Gregory has added Atlanta native Chad Dollar to his coaching staff. Dollar was an assistant this season at Wichita State, which won the NIT championship.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL WR Floyd cleared by Notre Dame

MLB SOUTH BEND, IND. — Suspended Notre Dame Greinke close to rehab assignment wide receiver Michael Floyd cleared the first MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Brewers righthander Zack Greinke threw a second bullpen session on Saturday in his latest step to return from a cracked rib. There’s been no timetable for his first appearance since being part of a six-player trade in December with Kansas City, but the 2009 AL Cy Young winner will need a rehab assignment that’s expected sometime this month. “It’s not 100 percent right now, but it’s pretty good,” Greinke said of his arm strength. “I don’t know how long, but just as soon as I can get ready and throw a couple of innings, it’ll be good. We’ll see how long it takes.” Greinke hurt himself playing basketball and said he didn’t heal as quickly as he hoped during spring training. “Too bad it wasn’t a couple of weeks ago at this point,” Greinke said. “But for right now, it’s good, so that’s nice. I’ve accepted it. It’s just too bad. I’m just trying to get ready and not have another setback, and be able to pitch the rest of the season strong. That’s the goal.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Brown shows interest in UNLV LAS VEGAS — Larry Brown has been in touch with UNLV athletic director Jim Liven-

hurdle in his bid to return to the team when a disciplinary panel allowed him to stay at the school. “I’m grateful that I still have a chance to earn my degree from Notre Dame and be a member of the football team,” Floyd said in a statement Saturday, a day after his hearing before the Office of Residence Life. Coach Brian Kelly suspended the star wideout on March 21, the day after he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. It was Floyd’s third run-in with the law over alcohol since 2009. He has a May 2 court date. “I know that I still need to meet the requirements set by the university and coach Kelly, and that I have a lot of work to do that and to prove that I’ve grown from this experience,” Floyd said. “I’m sorry again for the poor decisions I’ve made and for letting so many people down.”

Gators unveil Heisman statues GAINESVILLE, FLA. — Florida has honored the school’s three Heisman Trophy winners with life-sized statues outside the stadium. The Gators unveiled bronze statues of Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996) and Tim Tebow (2007) during halftime of Saturday’s spring game.

KANSAS BASKETBALL RECRUITING

Prep star Ellis to be in town for Jayhawk Invite By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Wichita Heights High School junior sensation Perry Ellis is planning on competing for Wichita’s Pray and Play Players at the 2011 Jayhawk Invitational youth basketball tournament set for April 29 to May 1 at various gyms in and around Lawrence. Three-time state Gatorade Player of the Year Ellis, who is Rivals.com’s No. 19-rated player in the Class of 2012, averaged 22. 1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists a game in leading Heights to a 25-0 record and third straight Class 6A state title. Led by the 6-foot-8, 220pound Ellis, Heights has won a Class 6A-record 44 consecutive games over the past two seasons. “In my opinion, he’s having the greatest career in the history of large-class basketball in Kansas. The data pretty

season, Willis remained anonymous, little more than a name and a number, if that. He was named the compete team defensive player of the year, earned compete team player of the week status twice and compete team special teams player of the week another time. It helped. But only so much. “When I was sitting in the stands, I would try to tell (my teammates) about the things that I saw that I thought could help them in the game,” Willis said. “You can give ’em advice, but you’re not really out there with ’em, so you don’t know if they’re really gonna take it or not.” Six practices into spring ball, that’s no longer an issue for Willis, who plays like a man possessed and is

much makes that almost an irrefutable point,” Heights coach Joe Auer told the Wichita Eagle, which recently tapped Ellis all-state for the third straight year. “He plays the toughest competition in the state and he absorbs so much defensive focus and pressure from the other team,” Ellis Auer added. Here are some of the accomplishments of bluechip college prospect Ellis, who has a recruiting list of Kansas University, Kansas State, Kentucky, Memphis, Oklahoma and Wichita State. ● Hit a school-record 74.9 percent of his floor shots, 33.3 percent of his threes and 71.7 percent of his free throws in 2010-11.

● Scored a career-high 38 points against Wichita Northwest. Also scored 25 points in the 2011 state semifinals over Olathe East and averaged 18.0 points and 8.0 boards overall in the state tourney despite being double- and tripleteamed at times. ● Is Heights’ career rebounding leader (753 boards) after passing former Wichita State standout Antoine Carr this past season. ● Is Heights’ career No. 2 scorer (1,585 points) after passing Carr and former KU standout Darnell Valentine last season. Should pass Aubrey Sherrod (1,739 points) next season. ● Averaged 22.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1 .6 assists, 1 . 2 blocks and 1.1 steals as a junior. Averaged 19.2 points and 11.7 rebounds as a freshman. ● Scored 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds and was named MVP in leading the West to an 107-104 victory

over the East in the recent AllAmerica championships in Houston. Was 5-6 from the field, 2-2 from three. ● Has perfect 4.0 grade point average and ranks No. 1 in his graduating class at Heights, where he also works as a tutor for fellow students. ● Volunteers as youth basketball instructor as well as multiple youth literacy-outreach initiatives ... serves as motivational speaker for youngsters and gives time to the Wichita Children’s Home. “As big a hyped kid as he is, he’s got the best demeanor I’ve ever seen out of a 16-, 17-, 18-year-old,” Shawnee Mission East coach Shawn Hair told Rivals.com. “He’s never crazy high. He doesn’t seem too low. He has a very even, steady keel.” As far as being perhaps the best prep player in state history ... McDonald’s All-Americans from the state of Kansas since 1977 include Valentine,

obsessed with making up for all the time he missed by redshirting last season. “I’m looking forward to pushing this team to greatness,” he said. “I hate losing. And I know the rest of my teammates hate losing, so I’m going to push them just like they’re going to push me. If I mess up, I want them to be on me just like I’m going to be on them. We’re all in it together.” It’s that attitude that has made the 6-foot-3, 243-pound Willis such a popular player with his teammates even though he has yet to play an actual down for the Jayhawks. He’s equal parts confident and camaraderie and he’s willing to work until he drops. “Whenever you’re on the battlefield with your teammates or whoever it is, if you’re out there with them, they’re gonna respect you a little bit more than if you were just sitting on the sideline watching,” said Willis, a natural fit at middle linebacker.

“My talent that I have, honestly, I feel like it can be world class. Knowing that I have two people on the outside that can support me and that rely on me, it kind of helps me and I kind of feel like just being out there with them makes all three of us better. Now that I’m actually getting back out here and getting into a rhythm, it’s starting to slow down and click again.” Sophomore linebacker Huldon Tharp, a candidate to start alongside Willis this fall, missed all of last season because of a foot injury, added: “I’ve seen a lot of athleticism from him and I’ve seen a lot of want-to. I mean, he’s determined to be successful.”

Darrian Miller, of Blue Springs, Mo., scored four touchdowns and was cited for great vision and speed burst. And defensive end Julius Green, a freshman from Houston, was credited with several tackles, including a handful behind the line of scrimmage. “Julius has done some good things,” Gill said in a university release. “He’s probably not as far along as Darrian, but part of that is because running back is usually a position you can shine at quicker than on defense. Julius has some good things going on.” Quarterbacks Quinn Mecham and Jordan Webb split the first-team snaps on offense, and Gill also said he was pleased with the speed on defense. The Jayhawks, who have nine practices remaining this spring, will be off today and will return to the field Monday. The annual spring game is set for 1 p.m., April 30.

Newcomers shine at scrimmage KU played its first scrimmage of the spring Saturday morning and a couple of new faces made big impressions. Freshman running back

Danny Manning, Greg Dreiling and Wayne Simien. Manning played at Lawrence High for just one season. Of course, there are a great number of Kansans who excelled throughout history in decades prior to the start of the McDonald’s game. “He’s just a tremendously gifted athlete,” Heights coach Auer told Rivals.com. “He has a rare combination of size, speed and strength. I think sometimes we’re so obsessed with the team concept and he’s such a team player. He’s so reserved and doesn’t seek out the spotlight.” He has played all five positions, including point guard in a pinch. “He will be a tremendous representative for any university that is fortunate to sign him. It has been a privilege and honor to coach such an outstanding young man,” Auer told National Recruiting Spotlight.

Kansas softball still winless in Big 12 J-W Staff Reports

STILLWATER , O KLA . — A three-run fifth inning doomed Kansas University’s softball team in a 3-2 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday. Kansas remains winless in Big 12 Conference play at 0-9, while dropping to 27-13 overall. The No. 21 Cowgirls improved to 31-9 and 2-3. The Jayhawks rallied for two runs in the final inning. Junior pinch hitter Kelsey Alsdorf smacked an RBI single, and then an OSU wild pitch scored freshman Laura Vickers. Allie Clark popped up behind the plate to end the game. Alsdorf has been an effective pinch hitter for KU this year, batting .375 with six RBIs in that role. Oklahoma State starter Kat Espinosa held the Jayhawks to 1 just two hits in 6 ⁄3 innings and improved to 16-4. KU sophomore Maggie Hull doubled in the top of the sixth inning to break up Espinosa’s no-hit bid. With 13 doubles, Hull presently sits at eighth on KU’s all-time list of doubles in a single season. Kansas freshman pitcher Kristin Martinez suffered the loss and fell to 12-6. Despite only grabbing two hits, Kansas collected three walks and two hit batsmen, but stranded four of those baserunners, including a run-

He struck out seven and walked one. The Tigers didn’t fare much better against four relievers.

THE MASTERS

6B Sunday, April 10, 2011

Mickelson starts well, but endures rocky finish By Daniel Shirley The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph

AUGUSTA, GA. — Phil Mickelson was confident he would be able to make some noise in the third round of the Masters. But despite his well-placed positive feelings — he has won the tournament three times, after all — Mickelson wasn’t able to do much Saturday. The defending champion looked good early but scrambled his way around the Augusta National Golf Club layout to the tune of 1-underpar 71. Mickelson is now 3 under after rounds of 70-72-71. Rory McIlroy leads the tournament at 12 under. “I felt like it was right there (Saturday),” Mickelson said. “I felt like there was an opportunity to do it. But I didn’t capitalize on some of the crucial holes. It was very close; it was right there for the taking.” Mickelson appeared to be ready to be the one to take the course down early in his round. He came alive with birdies on the second and third holes to get to 4 under for the tournament. But that was followed by a bogey, and then he had five straight pars to close the front nine. On the back nine, Mickelson had a bogey on the 11th and a birdie on the 15th, but other than that, he had seven pars. “I expected to come out this week and light it up,” Mickelson said. “And I have struggled to get the right reads. I have struggled getting the right speed, which historically I’ve been able to read these greens very well. “And I feel like I know the breaks on most of the putts, but I just have struggled getting it going this week.” Mickelson pointed to his putting as the problem this week, but the biggest culprit has been his ball-striking.

PHIL MICKELSON REACTS after hitting a shot on the eighth hole at the Masters. Mickelson, the defending Masters champion, was at three under after three rounds on Saturday in Augusta, Ga. Mickelson has hit only 19 of 42 fairways through three rounds, ranking last among the 49 players who made the cut. He scrambled well enough to rank tied for 14th in greens in regulation, but he will still start well before the leaders in the final round. “I’m going to be quite a few back, but on Sunday a lot can happen, so I’m not counting myself out,” Mickelson said. “I’m going to go do whatever work I need to do to give myself the best round, a hot round (today). I’ve shot low scores here before, and I believe I can do it again. “I’m going to give myself every opportunity to do that.”

That confidence, again, comes from Mickelson’s history in this course. He has finished in the top 10 in 13 of his 18 Masters appearances, and his low round in the tournament is 65. “It is a great feeling to cruise around Augusta knowing that I’ve won on this golf course,” Mickelson said. “That’s just a terrific feeling, having already accomplished the feat. It kind of takes some of the stress away because it’s a tournament that I’ve dreamt about winning as a kid, and to be able to know that I’ve done it, I think that relieves some of the pressure of wanting to win it so bad to be a part of this history.”

KANSAS KID DRAWS A CROWD

Weekly Special!

Matt Slocum/AP Photo

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY GOLFER GARY WOODLAND, RIGHT, WATCHES HIS DRIVE on the third tee during the third round of the Masters. Woodland shot a 74 on Saturday and sat in a tie for 38th place in Augusta, Ga.

McIlroy CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

McIlroy, who has stressed patient play all week, said he knows he still has work to do today. “I’m not getting ahead of myself,” he said. “I know how leads can dwindle away very quickly. “Four shots on this golf course isn’t that much.” Jason Day, who started the day two shots back and was paired with McIlroy, shot an even-par 72 and fell into a tie for second. “Rory, the way he’s hitting the ball, he can go out there and shoot a couple under par and win,” Day said. “There’s a lot of pressure on us to go out there and score early to put a little pressure on him.” Angel Cabrera, Charl Schwartzel and K.J. Choi are tied with Day at 8 under. Cabrera, the 2009 Masters champion, shot a 67 on Saturday. Schwartzel, quietly in contention all week, had a 68. K.J. Choi, paired with Tiger

Woods in the third round, shot a 1-under 71. The final three pairings today are decidedly international. Fellow Australians Day and Adam Scott tee off at 1:20 p.m., followed by Choi (South Korea) and Schwartzel (South Africa) at 1:30 p.m. and McIlroy and Cabrera (Argentina) at 1:40 p.m. The top American on the leaderboard is Bo Van Pelt in eighth. He will play with Englishman Luke Donald and tee off at 1:10 p.m. Nineteen of the past 20 Masters champions have played in the final pairing of the final round. The low scoring from the first two rounds continued Saturday. In all, 37 players are under par for the tournament. Through 54 holes, there have been 39 rounds in the 60s, including 11 in the third round. Four-time Masters champion Tiger Woods, who vaulted into contention with a blistering stretch of birdies Friday, never quite found his game Saturday. He shot a 74 and is 5 under for the tournament, seven strokes behind McIlroy. “(I’m) pleased with the way

I played; I just made nothing,” Woods said. “I had so many putts early that looked like they were going to go in but just didn’t go in.” Woods’ position is only slightly better than that of defending champion Phil Mickelson, who again was unable to make a run. He finished with a third-round 71 and is 3 under for the tournament. In order to win, he would have to surpass the record for largest final-round deficit — nine strokes — ever overcome by a Masters champion. If McIlroy holds on to win today, he will be just seven months older than Woods was when he blitzed the field in 1997. Asked if a pairing with twotime major winner Cabrera would be a positive or a negative, McIlroy once again reiterated he is focused only on himself. “It doesn’t matter who’s beside me, to be honest,” he said. “As I’ve said before, all I can do is control myself and my golf game. “I just have to go out and concentrate on myself.”

Excuses for delaying marriage a bad sign Dear Annie: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jamesâ&#x20AC;? for six years. He is 57. We get along great and enjoy each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. We both own our homes. Five years ago, we became engaged, and James moved in with my 12-year-old son and me. However, every year he has some lame reason why we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get married â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of us will lose our homestead exemption, we will pay more taxes, etc. He finally moved back into his own place six months ago after two years of remodeling. His reasons were numerous and hurtful. Although I keep a clean house, he says the cat hair bothered him (his cat); a sand pit next door irritated his sinuses; when the septic backed up, the bacteria in the air gave him COPD; we were living in sin; and the list goes on. Our sex life was never spectacular because of his numerous surgeries and pain medications, but I never made an issue of it, figuring you have to take the good with the bad. James now tries to dictate my household from 15 miles away. I feel he gave up that right when he moved out. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 47 and want to build a life with someone. While I do love James, am I wasting my time with this man? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Florida

he cannot find a reason to marry you after five years, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to happen. And his excuses for moving out were petty and not the response of someone who wants a longterm commitment. The logical reaction to â&#x20AC;&#x153;living in sinâ&#x20AC;? should be to get married. If you are looking to build a life with someone, James is not the guy.

school. I have a social dysfunction and have no friends myself. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure my inability to relate to people has been a detriment to my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social development. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want him to suffer as I did. I would rather my son not be invited at all than go through the rejection. It is so cruel. How do I deal with it when these things happen? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No Name

not learned the skills necessary to read social cues and interact well with others. You can find free social skills activities at wingsforkids.org, or you can ask his pediatrician for a referral. However, uninviting him to events and calling him stupid is bullying and should be pointed out to the principal and addressed through the school.

Dear Annie: My son was so excited this morning because he had made plans with a friend to go to a school function, and some of the other kids were meeting up at this friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. But after school, my son told me his friend uninvited him from the group. He made a great effort to control his tears. These are middle-school boys, and it has happened before.

Campaign for president a mistake for Trump, NBC The original â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upstairs Downstairsâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) was the series that made â&#x20AC;&#x153;Masterpiece Theaterâ&#x20AC;? fans of millions of Americans and the new three-episode incarnation will delight those who admire such beautifully produced period pieces. Like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remains of the Day,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atonementâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speech,â&#x20AC;? it takes place in the late 1930s when England was slowly waking up to the Nazi threat and explores attempts by Nazi sympathizers to get the British upper classes to make an arrangement with Herr Hitler. That theme was even explored on last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiere of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kennedysâ&#x20AC;? (7 p.m., Reelz). Look for Eileen Atkins and Jean Marsh from the original â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upstairs.â&#x20AC;? Keely Hawes (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wives and Daughters,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;MI-5â&#x20AC;?) shines as the young lady of the house trying to manage a newly assembled staff, placate her mother-in-law and her monkey (donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask) and find a delicate, diplomatic way to extract a Nazi big shot from a cocktail party. â&#x2014;? Speaking of removing odious stains, does Donald Trump want to hear the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Firedâ&#x20AC;?? Is he trying to kill â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrity Apprenticeâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., NBC)? It sure looks that way. Over the past few weeks, the real estate tycoon and reality host has embarked on a peculiar flirtation with a presidential campaign. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no soothsayer, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say Howie Mandel has a better shot at the White House. On many levels, Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;candidacyâ&#x20AC;? should be dismissed as a quixotic publicity stunt and another example of his patented bluster. But along his â&#x20AC;&#x153;campaignâ&#x20AC;? trail, he has been blurting out odd remarks about the president not being born in the United States and suggesting that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a secret Muslim. In short, he has been wading in the rather swampy waters of the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;birtherâ&#x20AC;? movement, a fringe group derided by rational people as paranoid, irrational and bigoted. The last time I checked, major sponsors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like controversy and avoid it at all costs. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Glenn Beckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just-canceled show has lost hundreds of sponsors over the past few years. And in an odd twist, just last week, Beck said he thought Donald Trump had gone too far and that the comb-over candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pandering to the birther types made him â&#x20AC;&#x153;uncomfortable.â&#x20AC;? So, to recap: Trump is too crazy for Beck, who is himself too crazy to retain advertisers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to do the math here and see that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add up for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Apprentice,â&#x20AC;? NBC or its new owners, Comcast.

Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other highlights â&#x2014;? Scheduled on â&#x20AC;&#x153;60 Minutesâ&#x20AC;? (6 p.m., CBS): a cold case from the Civil Rights era; mob informants and the FBI; a profile of Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals. â&#x2014;? Comics honor their own at The Comedy Awards (8 p.m., Comedy Central). â&#x2014;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shark Menâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., National Geographic) go in search of great whites. â&#x2014;? A lucrative marriage for Lucrezia on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Borgiasâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., Showtime). â&#x2014;? Richmond fears a leaker on his team on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Killingâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., AMC).

Financial difficulties for arts signal curtain call for 940 Dance Company

By Michael C. Auchard Special to the Journal-World

After a 24-year run of performances, the 940 Dance Company will present its final concerts at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Saturday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. The show, called “Red,” will consist of an hour-and-a-half performance, with an intermission, and will feature numerous styles of performance and dance, involving a mix of many different types of musical accompaniment. Audience members are encouraged to wear red clothing to help augment the concert. Susan Rieger, artistic director for the dance company, says the group, formerly known as the Prairie Wind Dancers, is disbanding because of

financial issues within the Lawrence Arts Center. Funding for the arts has dipped, both at the state and national level, she says. “We’re not falling apart,” Rieger says. “The Lawrence Arts Center has decided it can no longer support the dance company in the current situation, where school and arts funding has decreased to the point where we’re not getting the bookings we used to. The (National Endowment for the Arts) funding is in jeopardy, so it’s happening not only in Kansas, but on the national level, too.” Rieger says although she is saddened for the loss of the dance company, she’s excited for the upcoming farewell performance.

LHS Focus Film Festival attracts entries from across the state By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

For student artists, finding a venue to show their work can be a frustrating dance of submissions handicapped by time, equipment and academic limitations. The Focus Film Festival cuts out the middle man and creates a forum for and by students where high schoolers from across the state get the chance to have their films viewed, receive feedback and be critiqued by professionals, whose opinions can also help them win prizes. For the sixth straight year, the film festival,

organized by students at Lawrence High School, is providing that opportunity. “There’s around 85 films so far, submitted. We generally get a few last-minute stragglers, and there’s probably going to be, in the end, 15 schools that have submitted films,” says Jeff Kuhr, film and media teacher at LHS. “That’s everywhere from Lawrence High to Lansing to Tonganoxie to Olathe. There’s a wide range of schools from all over northeast Kansas that have contributed, and central Kansas, too. I think we have some films Please see LHS, page 2C

LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL seniors Zoey Hearn, left, Kathryn Lunte, Megan Fleming and Clare Payne have each entered a film in the upcoming Focus Film Festival, which will showcase the work of high school students largely from, but not limited to, northeast Kansas. The four students have also worked to organize the event, which will incorporate more than 85 films.

Thanks to the wonders of technology, 2,051 voices from 58 countries got together for a singalong like none other. Those voices were melded together into the Virtual Choir 2.0 — a Web project from composer/conductor Eric Whitacre that debuted Thursday night on YouTube. Each singer recorded themselves singing a chosen song, “Sleep,” to a Web cam while following along to a video of Whitacre conducting. Once all Whitacre the individual videos were submitted, Whitacre had them all digitally combined, so that they could become one large choir singing together to the music.

Lawrence “Eric resident Tony Whitacre is my Silvestri online at best friend, Lawrence.com. we’ve been friends for 20, 21 years,” says Silvestri, who has collaborated on a handful of pieces with his friend. “I work with not only him, but with a lot of different composers all around the world, sort of as a supplement to my day job, which is teaching history here at Washburn.” Silvestri is also a choir member, having submitted a video of himself singing along to the song, “Sleep,” which is one of Whitacre’s most successful songs. The pair wrote it in the year 2000 after a few hiccups. “He was commissioned to do a piece using the text by Robert Frost, ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.’ And they performed the piece and he went to publish it and the Robert Frost estate denied him permission to use the poem,” Silvestri recounts. “But the music that he wrote was so beautiful, so he asked me, could I please replace the lyrics with another, different poem that uses the same rhyme scheme, the same structure, some of the same vowel sounds, even the same word here and there that was painted so beautifully. “And so I came up with a completely different text, and it’s that piece that has become our — his — most famous and most performed piece, and it’s our most successful collaboration.” Silvestri also was the lyricist for the song used when the Virtual Choir was launched last year. That song, “Lux Aurumque,” was sung by 185 singers from around the globe. Silvestri couldn’t be more happy for his friend, who has received national attention on National Public Radio and CNN for The Virtual Choir 2.0, and has even given a TED talk about it. “I think the next phase would be that Eric would write a piece that would be premiered as a virtual choir,” Silvestri says. “No one will have ever heard the music before, before the performance online, which I think is kind of cool.

LHS Shooting big birds with a big lens BEHIND THE LENS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

By Kevin Anderson kanderson@ljworld.com

Wildlife photography is one of those areas that I never really approached. To me, that was something I might consider doing later in my retirement years. I could see it now: spending long days sitting in a wooded area, waiting for game to approach and slowly raising my weapon of choice (i.e., camera), fire off a few rounds of frames and then deleting all the frames out of focus. I have colleagues who are more outdoor photographers than myself. They will trek off to exotic places like Alaska, Hawaii and Europe, searching for the elusive bird/beast/fowl/fish/rock/ gerbil. I, on the other hand, end up in places like Omaha, Chicago or Tightwad, Mo. The only wildlife I usually see on any trip are dead on the side of the road. Birds. That was the request I got to shoot for a story on a rookery in Shawnee. Being so clueless on wildlife and their habitats, I had to look up the word rookery. I also discovered that the birds — great blue herons — were extra-large, carnivorous birds. Great, I thought, they might eat me. So there I was, setting out on my first wildlife assignment. Now, over the years, I have taken my share of pictures of city squirrels, my pets (cats and dogs are easy subjects) and the occasional bird in the front yard tree. Easy to do with minimal equipment. But with these big birds, I had to use some serious gear. We’re talking a very long lens. I pulled out my old Nikon 500mm mirror lens. I had just bought a Nikon-toCanon adapter ring. This allows me to use any of my old Nikon mount lens on either the Canon 5D or 7D cameras I have. The only factor with this lens was that I had to use everything in manual setting. No autofocus, no autoexposure. It is also somewhat slow in speed, being a fixed f/8 lens. I had to do the shooting oldschool style. I thought, no problem; I went to Old School U. I went to where the rookery was located. Just a small hike on the Mill Creek

The final show is definitely more bitter than sweet for her, though. “This is kind of our swan song. It’s the final performance for the company. We’re also the last professional modern dance company remaining in Kansas, so it’s kind of grim times for the state.” Rieger says the show will appeal to a diverse audience. She says people may be surprised at the range of emotion that a modern dance performance can convey. “Almost everybody appreciates some facet,” she says. “It might be dancing, the physicality and athleticism of the dancing. It might be what a dance makes you think about or consider in your own life. One of the things with modern dance is kind of trying to experiment some and play. I think one of the things people think about modern dance is that it’s very serious. Our company tries to address a whole range (of ideas), and have a lot of humor in the concert, too.” Dance company member Justin Hundley says the show will touch on many far-flung issues and ideas. One, for instance, is the zombification of society through prolonged television viewing. Hundley says the group looks forward to illustrating complex issues like this, and also to performing more conventional modern dance routines. “What we try and do is, there’s a lot of facial gestures and acting that goes into this,” he says. “We don’t

At 2 p.m. April 17, the winners will be announced and shown at Liberty Hall, 644 Mass. The categories range from best drama to best experimental, and awards will be made for cinematography and editing as well. Each of the awards will be presented by the students who have been busy organizing the event since last semester — licking countless envelopes and fielding submissions from programs all over the map — in order to have everything run smoothly. “We get to present the different categories (which) is kind of scary, but at the same Kevin Anderson/Journal-World Photo time that’s really cool,” says MY WIFE, SHARON, looks through my Canon 7D camera set-up with the 300mm lens with a senior Zoey Hearn, who will 1.4x converter.

“

There are a lot of collaborations within this arts community that can no longer directly happen.” — Michaela Sherman, member of 940 Dance Company actually speak, but with the movement we try and bring across ideas. For instance, how would a brainwashed TV addict move? They’re going to just stare with no emotion on their faces. All of these ideas, like, ‘What is this persona going to be?’ are important. For other pieces, it’s more like a contemporary dance that’s about movement and its connection to music.” Hundley says the name of the show, “Red,” was chosen for several reasons, though mainly due to society’s attachment of the color to extreme emotions. “The idea of ‘Red’ comes across as, ‘What do you immediately think of when you think of red?’ There’s anger, there’s passion — but we’re trying to elaborate away from that, like, with the saying, ‘in the red,’ with our current economy. Any kind of emotion, of phrasing, that red can describe is what we’re trying to tie together with the different dances.” Company member Michaela Sherman says one of the strengths of the group is the diverse education in dance among its members. She says the upcoming final show will be stronger because of both the different strengths the members bring, and also because they’ve grown so close working with each other. “We’re lucky that we all come from different backgrounds,” Sherman says. “We’ve all had very unique experiences in our lives, so to all come together — it

brings that eclectic vision. We all have the same passion to dance, so we can come together and perform the ideas. The ideas remain as unique as the individual. We kind of know how to pull out of each other what we need to say or express. We know our talents and our strengths, and we’re able to pull them out of each other.” Sherman says she’s dispirited by the demise of the 940 Dance Company, not only for her own personal reasons, but because of the effect it could have on other local artists. She says she’s concerned about a trickledown effect throughout the local arts community, with other groups facing similar funding issues in the near future. “This is a little bit heartbreaking for the entire arts community,” she says, “because we integrated visual art with music. We just got done doing a lot of classes — we’d go into preschools and do workshops and travel to rural communities. There are a lot of collaborations within this arts community that can no longer directly happen.”

nated film “Winter’s Bone,” is picking the winner in the drama category. Granik visited the program last year and has stayed in touch, even as her f ilm earned accolade after accolade. Kuhr says her involvement is just one of several boosts the festival has received since its first year, when it had just three schools participating and only 14 films entered. “I heard from Debra (Granik) last night, and something that struck me was how cool it was that she was a ‘friend’ of our program,” Kuhr says. “Even cooler, though, is that it’s not just her — with really generous support from places like Adobe, Criterion, New Video, Palm Pictures, Chicago Review Press — as well as all the local businesses who provided items for our raffle — there’s a tremendous amount of support for youth filmmaking, and that’s wonderful.” But the biggest level of support might come in the experience and confidence gained by the winners. Not only will they have their film enjoyed by peers and professionals alike, but they’ll get to watch it at Liberty Hall like something produced by Hollywood. Seeing your film on the big screen? That’s priceless, says senior Megan Fleming, whose f ilm “The Sci-Fi Movie” (made with Hearn and Ellie Berland) won the best sci-fi/fantasy category at last year’s festival. “Yeah, I think it’s really cool to look up at the screen and see not a ‘Black Swan’ at Liberty Hall, but our very own movies up on that same screen,” says Fleming, who plans to study film in college. “It’s like a really amazing experience.” — Staff writer Sarah Henning can be reached at 832-7187.

‘Townie’ book tells all Memoir of Andre Dubus III reveals troubled youth of writer often mistaken for his famous father By David L. Ulin Los Angeles Times

Shirley Cordell, retired, Valley Falls “Lee Child mysteries. He writes about Jack Reacher. He’s an ex-military guy who goes from town to town getting into trouble.”

L O S A N G E L E S — Andre Dubus III does not look like a man on a journey. Instead, sitting at an outdoor table at the Standard Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, the 51-year-old author appears, finally, to have arrived. That may seem a stretch, considering his 1999 novel “House of Sand and Fog” was an Oprah Book Club selection and a finalist for the National Book Award, but Dubus has never had an easy road. The son of the late shortstory writer Andre Dubus, he spent his early career being compared, or confused, with his father. “One journalist,” he recalls in his memoir “Townie” (W.W. Norton: 389 pages, $25.95), “said, ‘God, don’t you want to do something different from your father? Why don’t you go into another field?”’ At the time, such reactions were a source of conflict: “I was his firstborn son with the same name writing fiction, too,” Dubus writes. “What did I expect?” Now, however, he has come through to the other side. “For me,” he says, “the challenge has always been to separate. You’ve got to slay the parent to become yourself, right?” He laughs. “But at the same time, we’re joined forever, especially with the same name.” The father-son dynamic is a running theme in “Townie,” but it’s far from the only one. The book offers a stirring portrait of 1970s life in the decaying mill towns north of Boston, especially Haverhill, where Dubus was raised. One of four children, he and his siblings were cut loose after his parents divorced in the late 1960s. His father wrote stories and taught at Haverhill’s now-defunct Bradford College; his mother struggled to make ends meet. “I give her full credit for staying,” Dubus reflects, “but she gave up and lost control

of the house.” In “Townie,” he recalls how his empty house became party central, “anothDubus III er place for kids to gather and get high.” He traces the sprawling vacuity of his adolescence, the drugs and alcohol, the casual sex and easy violence, the sense that there were no adults, ever, to intercede. “For a long time,” he explains, “I’ve wanted to write about my generation, about being a teen when Vietnam was ending, about acting like part of the counterculture when the counterculture didn’t exist anymore. We were really a generation in the middle, 10 years younger than the Vietnam generation, 10 years older than Generation X.” In “Townie,” he re-creates the era, down to his ponytail and Dingo boots. He also tells us what happened to the people of whom he writes — those who ended up dead or in jail or on the streets. For Dubus, such a strategy is a reaction to what he calls “the fixed parameter of memoir,” the way the truth can hem you in. “I didn’t want to write it,” he says, “but the book kept insisting on itself. I’d tried before to find a way into some of this stuff, and here it was.” The difference was that his prior attempts had come as fiction — two unfinished novels about his family and his early life. In those efforts, he had been stuck, unable to engage with what he loved most about writing fiction, “that moment when you step into the unknown.” Then, while writing an essay about his brother and baseball, he found himself returning to the story he had never quite been able to tell. “I was turning 50,” Dubus

recalls, “so, spiritually, it felt like the right thing to do, for my kids if nothing else, to explain where I was from. As I used sharper language, it opened my memory, and the scenes just started to come.” Many scenes involve Dubus’ evolution from a scared kid to a fighter who solves problems with his f ists. In one of the most shocking sequences, he and friends go after three men in retaliation for a knifing, leaving them beaten and bloody in a coffee shop. “Go, go, go,” Dubus writes, the language reflecting his adrenaline. “Just throw that first punch, these words I left behind as I ran across the lot for the glass doors.” Once inside, his attack is so brutal that his girlfriend is terrified of him. “For years, I tried to write about this,” Dubus starts, and then stops, as if deciding how much to reveal. “No,” he says finally, “I haven’t tried. I haven’t known how to begin. I didn’t know how to write about violence without seeming like a dangerous lunatic. But even more, I couldn’t begin because I did-

Classic 1941 Cain novel as riveting as ever By David L. Ulin Los Angeles Times

Of all the classic noir writers, perhaps none has been as tarnished by the brush of genre as James M. Cain. That’s because Cain was not just a great hardboiled novelist but a great novelist, period, whose vision of 1930s Southern California is as acute and resonant as anything ever written about that time and place. His first novel, “The Postman Always Rings Twice,” published when he was 42, is said to have inspired Albert Camus’ “The Stranger”; his second, “Double Indemnity,” is among the finest of all American novels, regardless of genre or style. “I make no conscious effort to be tough, or hard-boiled, or grim,” Cain once noted of his own writing, “or any of the things I am usually called. I merely try to write as the character would write.” In 1941, Cain published his fourth novel, “Mildred Pierce,” a book that has such an aesthetic at its heart. The story of a divorcee in Depression-era Glendale, Calif., it was filmed in 1945 with Joan Crawford; now, HBO is running a five-part adaptation with Kate Winslet in the title role. (Spoiler alert: This piece offers full details on the plot and conclusion of “Mildred Pierce.”) To read “Mildred Pierce” now is to experience a double vision, in which we confront both how much and how little things have changed. When Mildred and her husband, Bert, fight in the first scene of the novel, it is with an urgency that’s impossible not to recognize.

‘A Smile’

Caught in the act of welcoming and affirming — relational bliss —

n’t have the courage to go back and admit that I was once a cowardly boy. Now, at 51, I just want to hold that kid, but it’s taken me 20 years to get to that point.” Dubus’ willingness to share his shame and brutality is a key to “Townie,” which is uncommonly revealing about both. It also allows him to focus the same sharp lens on his family — writing about his older sister’s rape, which catalyzed a sense of anger and paranoia or his younger brother’s suicide attempts. No one is more scrutinized here than his father, who died in 1999. He is an absence and a presence, a spectral figure in his children’s lives and when they’re older a drinking buddy, a compatriot. This makes for vivid tension, with Dubus seeking his approval as he reminds us that “(w)hen trouble came, our father just was not the man we’d ever turned to.” Now, he says, “I don’t think I could have written this if he was alive. It’s the primal loyalty, and the last thing I want to do is to betray my parents.” And yet he feels obligated to tell it like it was.

Sober realism takes ’Mildred Pierce’ beyond noir Howard Freedman, service representative, Lawrence “‘The Road to Wellville’ by T.C. Boyle. It’s about Battle Creek, Mich., and Dr. Kellogg, who invented the corn flake. I’ve read some of his other stuff and really liked it.”

Poet’s Showcase

Joan Crawford, left, and Kate Winslet in the title role of “Mildred Pierce,” 1945 and 2011. “They spoke quickly,” Cain writes, “as if they were saying things that scalded their mouths, and had to be cooled with spit. Indeed, the whole scene had an ancient, almost classical ugliness to it, for they uttered the same recriminations that have been uttered since the beginning of marriage, and added little of originality to them, and nothing of beauty.” Later, after Mildred throws Bert out, her friend and neighbor Mrs. Gessler defines the terms of her new life. “Well,” she says, “you’ve joined the biggest army on earth. You’re the great American institution that never gets mentioned on the Fourth of July — a grass widow with two small children to support.” There’s a certain cynicism to that observation: The world-weariness of noir. Cain’s novel is marked by a realistic resignation, the idea that Mildred has no choice but to go on. She has those kids, of course — the tragic Ray and the viperous Veda — and Bert, although he emerges as one of the book’s most sympathetic characters, offers little help with them. But that’s not all; she also possesses an inner pride, an air of selfworth and determination, which prevents her from being beaten down. This is a highly contemporary perspective, although it predates even “Rosie the Riveter” propaganda, and it’s one reason why “Mildred Pierce” has been regarded by some as a proto-feminist manifesto, which is how it was

taught to me in college when I first read the book. Yet if that is a compelling reading, it’s not nearly nuanced enough. What happens to Mildred is the most common kind of experience: Left with two daughters and no child support, she has to find a way to keep the family afloat. It is the Depression and there are no jobs. She has an acuity in the kitchen and is a whiz at making pies. So, beginning with a waitress job, she takes her destiny into her own hands and works her way up to owning a chain of restaurants, only to see it all fall to pieces when she is betrayed by those whom she has most loved. That betrayal, by her daughter Veda and her second husband, Monty, is also the stuff of hard-boiled convention, but it is not the convention that’s important as much as what Mildred does with it. She is not a stock character, not a victim, but a three-dimensional woman of flesh and blood. What does she do? What would she do? She picks herself up and moves along. In the final moments of the novel, she is back with Bert, back in the Glendale house where it all started, and his invocation to her — “Come on, we got each other, haven’t we? Let’s get stinko” — is as stirring and real a declaration of love as she may ever find. In that sense, “Mildred Pierce” is less a work of noir than it is a straightforward realist novel: dry-eyed, unsentimental, in which a woman finds grace, of a kind, first by surpassing her limitations and then by recognizing them. That’s a metaphor for what it means to be a grown-up, for what it means to have to take care of a family, to sacrifice in the name of a greater good. It’s also an acute portrait of a society in transition — that of L.A. between the wars. Seventy years later, that world, with its peculiar mix of social mobility and social divisions, of possibilities and crushing boundaries, has rarely been re-created as vividly as it is in the pages of this book.

BRIEFLY Uncensored ’Eternity’ available as e-book When James Jones published “From Here to Eternity” in 1951, his editors had pulled back some of the frank language and description in his original draft. The resulting novel, which chronicled the drinking, brawling and illicit affairs of soldiers stationed in Hawaii in the months before Pearl Harbor — was a titillating, critically acclaimed best seller. The 1953 movie, which starred Frank Sinatra, Montgomery Clift, Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr, got a similar reception, winning eight Oscars. Now, a new e-book of the novel will include the profanity and mentions of gay sex that were left out of the 1951 version. The uncensored “From Here to Eternity” is being published by Open Road Media and Jones’ heirs. “It’s been on my mind for quite a few years, and the right moment just hadn’t come up yet,” daughter Kaylie Jones told the New York Times. “My father fought bitterly to hold on to every four-letter word in the manuscript. The publisher was concerned about getting through the censors.” In addition to the four-letter words, scenes that explicitly mention gay sex have been restored to the text. In one, Private Maggio (the character played in the film by Sinatra) mentions having sex with a man for money.

KU grad’s feature film debuts in K.C. FilmFest Special to the Journal-World

J.T. O’Neal has a master’s degree of public health from Harvard University and is currently director of an occupational medicine residency program in St. Paul, Minn., but what this graduate of Kansas University and KU Medical Center really wants to do is make movies. The film he wrote and directed, “Au Pair, Kansas,” debuted earlier this weekend at the Kansas City FilmFest. Release dates are pending for DVD, Internet and video-on-demand viewing. O’Neal, who also has an MFA from UCLA’s highly respected screenwriting program, wrote “Au Pair, Kansas” specifically for Norwegian TV star Håvard Lilleheie after seeing him in the opening night feature at a film festival in San Jose, Calif. In O’Neal’s fish-out-ofwater tale, Lilleheie plays a male au pair who comes to the small Swedish Kansas community to help a grieving widow (Traci Lords) and her two sons. For O’Neal, it has been a long road leading up to this big weekend. Although film-

ing on this movie wrapped Christmas Eve 2008, he spent the years before that writing award-winning screenplays and directing short films. “You really can’t advance in the film world unless you do a feature. So I stopped doing shorts about five years ago to focus on getting ‘Au Pair, Kansas’ done,” O’Neal says. “I directed this film because I didn’t want someone else to screw it up.” The origins of the feature are also firmly rooted in Kansas. After finishing his pre-med requirements at KU in his first two years, O’Neal decided to major in art history. His honor’s research paper on Lindsborg artist Birger Sandzen took him often to Lindsborg, where he says he was “semiadopted” by Sandzen’s daughter Margaret Greenough. “The Sandzen oil painting that Margaret gave to me when I finished KU med school appears in the background of the first dinner sequence in the movie,” he says. “There’s another closeup of a Sandzen painting of Jesus later in the film at the church.”

O’Neal likes to keep busy. His own photographs are in museum collections, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Congress, and KU’s own Spencer Museum of Art. “My love of visual images in photography grew into a love of visual images in film,” he said. Lawrence resident Tom Carmody, who was a producer on Kevin Willmott’s “Bunker Hill” and “The Only Good Indian,” is an executive producer on “Au Pair, Kansas” as well. He was impressed with what O’Neal was able to do with a relatively miniscule budget. (According to O’Neal, the movie was made for around $200,000.) “‘Au Pair’ was shot on the Red One digital camera, which seems to be the trend of a lot of smaller independent films,” Carmody says. “But you’d never know it was a low-budget film — it looks astounding.” Getting the movie made was one struggle that took years to complete, but in a way, the buzz for “Au Pair, Kansas” doesn’t start until people see it. After Saturday night, the film will travel to the Minneapolis-St. Paul

Special to the Journal-World

TRACI LORDS stars in “Au Pair, Kansas,” a feature-length film by J.T. O’Neal, a graduate of Kansas University and KU Med Center. International Film Festival, the Bare Bones Film Festival in Muskogee, Okla., and the renegade indie festival (that takes place during Cannes proper) called the Cannes Independent Film Festival. Though its broader release is on hold, O’Neal is excited the film is out there. “Its journey out into the world is just starting,” he says.

‘Monet’s Water Lilies’ opens at Nelson-Atkins By Melissa Treolo Special to the Journal-World

With its current exhibit “Monet’s Water Lilies,” the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is trying to come as close as possible to the experience one might have if they were watching famed impressionist Claude Monet at work in his garden in Giverny, France. In fact, more than 80 years after the artist’s death, viewers will have the opportunity to do just that through the exhibit’s inclusion of rare, 1915 film footage taken of Monet — dressed in a pristine white suit and with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth — painting in his garden those works that would, years later, delight and inspire the world. The main attraction of the exhibit, of course, is the “Water Lilies (Agapanthus)” triptych, made up of three, 6foot-tall panels depicting Monet’s own water lily pond he is believed to have worked on from 1915 to 1926, the year of his death. During a press review of the exhibit Friday, curator Nicole Myers said the three panels had never been displayed together as Monet had envisioned them to be during his lifetime, but the “Water Lilies” triptych had its first showing in 1978 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and then again in 1979 and 1980 in both Kansas City and St. Louis. Since then, the panels have remained separately in the three museums that purchased them in the 1950s, following a three decades-long period during which they

‘MONET’S WATER LILIES’ What: Exhibit of the late artist Claude Monet’s “Water Lilies” triptych When: Continues through Aug. 7 Where: Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, 4525 Oak St., Kansas City, Mo. Tickets: $8 for adults, $7 for seniors 55 and older, $5 for students 13-19, free for children 12 and under. More information: NelsonAtkins.org. were left to collect dust in Monet’s studio in Giverny. The left panel was purchased by the Cleveland Museum of Art, the central panel by the Saint Louis Art Museum and the right panel by the NelsonAtkins in Kansas City, Mo. “So for a new generation, this is really a first time to get a chance to see these paintings come together,” Myers says. But that’s not to say that those who did get a chance to see the reunion of the three panels more than 30 years ago won’t get something “completely different” out of this latest exhibit, Myers said. “Monet’s Water Lilies” marks the very first time the pieces have been hung together as one 42-foot wide, continuous work of art, instead of as a series of separate panels. This is how Monet would have wanted it, Ian Kennedy, Nelson-Atkins curator, says in a press release regarding the exhibit.

“What this show does is it puts (the Nelson-Atkins’ ‘Water Lilies’ panel) in context,” he said. “This will be a much more intimate experience of Monet, without distractions, and you get to see the paintings as he intended them to be seen — not separated and surrounded by other pictures.” Another first is the extensive research and analysis done on the works, all on display in a room of the exhibit, which viewers will have the opportunity to both see and interact with. The idea behind showing the conservation component of “Monet’s Water Lilies,” Myers says, was to demonstrate that Monet, while generally thought of as someone who worked spontaneously and without a lot of revision, was actually much more methodical and even “obsessive” when it came to his water lily depictions. X-rays, cross-sections of paint fragments and early studies show the many times Monet painted over his “Water Lilies” before they reached their current state. “The exhibition will explore the whole issue of process, really giving us a sense of how Monet worked; how he built up his paint layers,” says Simon Kelly, curator with the Saint Louis Art Museum. In the same room will be interactive computer touch screens, which will allow viewers to look at details of Monet’s works and microscopic pigment images, and also create their own impressionistic works of art. Users

will have the option of emailing their creations to themselves, and all of the creations will be uploaded to a gallery on the Nelson-Atkins’ website, Nelson-Atkins.org. The hope is that even younger audiences, who may not have an initial appreciation for the “Father of Impressionism,” as Monet is widely known, will take away a better understanding of his legacy through these technological components to the exhibit. “The last room in the exhibition is really an amazing technological advance in terms of what we’re doing here in the exhibition by putting this kind of focus, this spotlight, on the research and work that we’ve done, but putting it in a very modern way that makes it hopefully appealing and also engaging for visitors of all ages that come,” Myers says. Above all, she says, the goal is to give viewers the experience Monet ultimately wanted all of those who saw his work to have: “He wanted the visitor to be surrounded by, and I quote, ‘a flowered aquarium.’” “Monet’s Water Lilies” is on display now through Aug. 7. Though admission to the museum is free, tickets must be purchased for this featured exhibition. Tickets are $8 for adults, $7 for seniors 55 and older, $5 for students 1319 and free for children 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased at the exhibit or online at Nelson-Atkins.org. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is at 4525 Oak St., Kansas City, Mo.

WEED SEASON

DANDELIONS actually began growing last fall and will be troublesome this season.

Henbit, dandelion get jump-start on taking over lawns Garden Calendar T

hrough the window I can see just a few yellow dandelion blooms dotted through the grass. Next week there will be more — in the flowerbeds and the vegetable garden and nearly every crack in the sidewalk. While I think a few dandelions are OK, the hundreds of viable seeds produced by each bloom worry me. Additional concern comes from the delicate purple blossoms of henbit, which is quickly filling in where the dandelions are lacking. The really bad news is that the henbit and dandelions actually started growing last fall. The other common cool-season weeds, including chickweed, deadnettle, bedstraw and several others, also sprouted about October. Germination time is important because unwanted plants are easier to control when they are little. Putting on an additional layer of mulch in the flowerbeds last fall helped keep light from reaching the seeds. Fertilizing the fescue lawn in September to get it growing strong helped the grass outcompete at least some of the invading species. A pre-emergent herbicide labeled for cool-season broadleaf weeds could have been a tool, too, but it is too late to apply it now. For effective control of henbit, chickweed, etc., applications should be made around mid-September.

Besides pulling these pesky weeds, what can be done now? In the lawn, mowing frequently can help keep weeds in check. (Since weeds typically grow more quickly than turfgrass, a weedy lawn means mowing more often anyway.) In landscape beds or gardens, weeds can be cultivated under the soil surface. Weeds that are covered with mulch often re-emerge as a stronger plant. Locations that are especially rampant with weeds can be covered with plastic to kill the undesirable plants by solarization. Simply cover the area, weight the corners of the plastic or pin with landscape staples, and leave the plastic on for a number of days. This method works best in full sun. A post-emergence broadleaf herbicide is another option for cool-season weed control but should be used with caution. First, if you are planning to put down any additional grass seed, avoid using a broadleaf herbi-

cide for four to six weeks prior. Once new grass emerges, it should be mature enough to mow at least three times before a broadleaf herbicide is applied. Post-emergence herbicides can also contribute to stormwater pollution, so avoid applying products when rain is expected within 24 hours. Do not water the grass after application. Avoid applying postemergence herbicides when temperatures exceed 85-90 degrees. Warm-season broadleaf weeds are less common in both the lawn and garden and are usually easily controlled through good cultural and mechanical practices. Unwanted grasses or grassy weeds are another story. The really problematic ones, like crabgrass and Bermuda grass, are warm-season plants and will be problems in mid-summer when the cool-season lawn is struggling. Crabgrass seeds sprout about the time the redbud trees reach full bloom, so pre-emergent applications need to be applied prior to that time. Post-emergence herbicides for grasses work in flowerbeds but often affect the desirable grasses in the lawn as well as the unwanted species. Again, thick turf will outcompete weeds. Solarization, mechanical removal or use of a nonselective herbicide may offer the best long-term control. There are a few other

You could make a dandelion salad (bitter like arugula) or go into the dandelion wine business. You could also make bouquets for someone special. I now understand that my mother’s smiles over the arrangements of chickweed and henbit I used to make were because she had a few less weeds to pull. — Jennifer Smith is the Horticulture Extension Agent for K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County.

Kovel’s Antiques: Unusual furniture fetches high prices at auctions By Terry Kovel

Cowles Syndicate Inc. Photo

THIS MARIPOSA CHAIR made in the 1980s, 35 inches high, brought $5,490 at a recent Rago auction in Lambertville, N.J.

Should a chair be a “conversation piece” or be comfortable? Twentieth-century designers’ chairs can be either, but they’re rarely both. A chair that looks like a huge cupped hand is hard to ignore or forget. It often is pictured but not identified. Pedro Friedeberg (born 1936), an Italian-born designer from Mexico, is an architect, painter and designer of furniture and “useless objects.” His “Hand” chairs were first made in the 1980s and still are in production. His work sells for high prices to today’s collectors. Want an

imaginative clock? Friedeberg made one with protruding hands that substitute for numerals. He cleverly made the hands with one, two, three, four or five fingers pointing up, then for numbers six to 12 he created hands with six fingers, seven fingers, etc. Another of his designs is the 1980s Mariposa (Butterfly) chair. A large, colorful mahogany butterfly is the seat, another is the back. It, too, is very out of the ordinary and lumpy, but it’s comfortable. A new young group of collectors searches for the work of designers from the 1930s to 2000 and often pays very high prices. Works by

famous designers have gone up in value while much of the collecting market has gone down.

I have a bright red plastic biscuit cutter that says “For Bisquicks” on the handle and “Bonnyware” on the side. I still use it to make baking powder biscuits. It was my mother’s. Any idea how old it is?

We have been told that Bonny Ware plastic was made by Reynolds Spring Co. of Jackson, Mich., but we are not sure. The company is not on any of our lists of

manufacturers of plastic kitchen wares. Bisquick became a brand name in 1931 and still is on the market. We are sure the cutter was meant to be used to make baking powder biscuits using Bisquick, probably about 1960. The added “s” may have been a way to avoid suggesting the makers of Bisquick endorsed the product. Hundreds of biscuit cutters, salt-andpepper sets and other bright plastic pieces marked “Bonny Ware” are for sale on the Internet for prices as low as $5, but no one seems to know who made them. Can anyone help?

Q: I just found a bottle of Bols creme de menthe at the back of my grandfather’s liquor cabinet. The label says 1868. Inside the bottle is a ballerina who spins while music plays. How much is this worth? A: Your bottle was not made in 1868. That was the year Bols was taken over by new management. The musical bottle was sold from 1957 to 1980. The Dutch company sold several different types of liqueur, including creme de menthe, in the bottle. It is a very common bottle worth about $20. The bottles are offered online for about $60 with the original box down to $10 for a worn bottle.
