Drawing from discipline Military school helps Lawrence teen discover his potential

Debate over CIA tactics reignited

By Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — The government’s hunt for Osama bin Laden has left the country questioning whether the tactics used to interrogate suspected terrorists were successful and lawful.

With his death, both sides of the debate have regrouped along familiar lines, claiming they were right all along.

But America’s greatest counterterrorism success does not represent a victory for either camp. Rather, it paints a clearer picture of the CIA’s interrogation and detention program, revealing where it was successful and where its successes have been overstated.

At its core, the hunt for bin Laden evolved into a hunt for his couriers, the few men he trusted to pass his personal messages to his field commanders. After the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, detainees in the CIA’s secret prison network told

It’s 6 a.m., and Macio Palacio is up for breakfast. He’s going into class early to work on his art project, a drawing of a phoenix for his little brother, who’s named Phoenix.

Palacio’s got a full schedule: art, integrated science, Spanish, civics, Algebra II and English. After school, he plans to work out with friends at the gym.

But added into what seems like a normal schedule are additional activities. Palacio has JROTC for his eighth-hour class. One of his extracurricular activities is shooting on the rifle team. And before breakfast every day, Palacio and his 222 schoolmates line up in formation.

Palacio, a former Free State High School attendee, went to military school this year. It wasn’t what he expected from his senior year, but since heading to Salina to go to St. John’s Military School, he’s made many friends and sent his life in a new, positive direction. After attending the school, which holds fifth- through 12th-graders, he will graduate Saturday.

The defendant’s word is no good.

That’s the marvelously uncomplicated legal argument being made in Douglas County District Court by litigator Marc Elster. He sits at the plaintiff’s table of the county’s smallest courtroom. Defendant Ryan Beck sits at the other table.

The oath already has been administered. The judge already has made the introductions. The case already has been called. Now, it is the time where good litigators shine.

It’s speech-making time.

Elster never rises from his chair but does motion to the COURTS other side of the room. He describes a loan gone bad between what were supposed to be two friends. About $1,100 in total and countless text messages and phone callpromises of repayment that never were fulfilled.

The defendant, Elster says, simply promises one thing and does something quite another.

The court should end that today.

Beck sits alone at the table. Not even the traditional legal props of an accordion file or a yellow notepad accompany him. Surprisingly, he looks rather unconcerned.

That’s the way it is here — almost always

Shelter gets ‘tremendous’ cleanup help

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Mustard Seed Christian Fellowship member Jerry Beneventi joked that priority No. 1 at Saturday’s “extreme makeover” at the Lawrence Community Shelter was getting rid of the K-State purple paint that adorns the lobby.

“It’s time for it to go,” said Beneventi, who was coordinating about 50 church members in an all-day cleanup event at the shel-

ter. Volunteers and shelter residents worked side-by-side, painting, cleaning, scraping and drilling.

“It’s tremendous,” said Loring Henderson, shelter director, who was all smiles as he watched the volunteers work. “It’s going to be a big uplift. A big shot in the arm.”

Saturday’s event focused on some cosmetic upgrades, as well as some much needed basic maintenance, Henderson said.

The cleanup project was chosen after speaking with community members and various agen-

cies about ways Mustard Seed could get involved, Beneventi said.

About a third of the congregation helped out in some way, including member Beth Pavisian, who was busy cleaning windows on Saturday.

For her, the day was all about being neighborly.

“I’m a neighbor. This is my neighborhood,” she said. “The people who live here are my neighbors.”

L E A V E N W O R T H — Since they’ve been retired, Ruth and Charlie Kirby of Bonner Springs have loved to set out on day trips to visit destinations throughout Kansas.

On Saturday, though, they had the chance to visit the whole state in one day.

The Kansas Sampler Festival, taking place this weekend in Leavenworth, brings together performers, artists, food and drink vendors and all kinds of exhibitors from throughout the state.

“I went around to all the booths,” Ruth Kirby said Saturday as she and her husband stopped to eat homemade ice cream from the south-central Kansas city of Harper. “I always love Kansas.”

The Sampler festival was the place to be Saturday for people who shared that sentiment about the Sunflower State. It will remain open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today in Ray Miller Park in Leavenworth.

Music carried through the air from three stages, visitors stopped at dozens upon dozens of exhibitors, and the crowd was dotted with people wearing such attire as cowboy hats and chaps, Civil War-era military uniforms or traditional Swedish dress.

Jason Cooper, who lives in rural Leavenworth County between Leavenworth and Tonganoxie, said he had never heard of the Sampler Festival until he heard a friend would be exhibiting there.

As he and his wife, Kathy, sampled beers from High Noon Saloon and Brewery in Leavenworth, they said they’d been pleasantly surprised by how much the festival had to offer.

For their 7-year-old son Luke, the highlight so far had been a ride on a handcar set up on a small stretch of ra i lway by t h e M a rs h a l l County Railroad Historical Society. Kathy and Jason, though, couldn’t get out of their heads the memory of the pie they’d tried from

“At first I was fighting it,” he said. “Once I got here, there was really no point in fighting. It doesn’t get you anywhere.”

Bray had seen her oldest son get into fights and lack confidence she knew was inside him.

“We didn’t want him to think of it as a punishment,” she said. “It was trying to recognize that it was an opportunity, that it was a big world out there and he could meet other people.”

But Palacio has seen the advantage to going away for his senior year, even if many of his friends in Lawrence didn’t know where he’d gone.

“I’m not afraid to say, ‘Yeah, I mess up.’ Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody messes up,” he said. “But the biggest problem is that people have trouble learning from it. But with me, I started to realize that it wasn’t for me.”

“I think my problem is being a perfectionist. It’s a good thing and a bad thing,” he said.

Now in the advanced art class with six other cadets, Palacio didn’t showcase his talent when he came to St. John’s. In fact, his love of art sometimes got him in trouble in Lawrence.

MACIO PALACIO, A SENIOR AT ST. JOHN’S MILITARY SCHOOL and former Free State High School student and Van Go Mobile Arts artist, works on a drawing of a phoenix in his advanced art class.

Pam Kraus, integrated science teacher, watches the cadets and instructs them when necessary. Kraus never thought she’d end up teaching at military school, but the bonds she’s formed with her students have been valuable.

“We become their surrogate family,” Kraus said.

The bonds Palacio has formed with fellow cadets have earned him friends from Colorado, Wisconsin, New Mexico and many other states. St. John’s has students from all over the United States and six countries.

“They say friends here are friends you have for life. I’m hoping that’s true,” Palacio said.

While he misses his friends in Lawrence, the relationship he shares with his cadets is different. The guys wake up in the barracks, eat meals, attend classes and participate in extra-curricular activities together.

“We live with each other, so everything we do helps each other,” he said. “Alpha Co. — that’s my brotherhood.”

1150: Mess The cadets get out of class early to fall into formation before lunch. It’s a special day — the general who is speaking at graduation is visiting. Cadets join their companies and fall into formation, marching around the school’s campus to drums and horns.

Palacio marches with Alpha Co., which is mostly juniors and seniors. He’s a squad commander, which means he monitors cadets’ rooms for cleanliness and makes sure they’re in bed for lights out.

“It got me used to a different structure. I learned to be a leader,” he said.

With the military environment also comes punishment for breaking the rules. Palacio’s been written up a couple of times, but other cadets aren’t so lucky.

During class, one cadet can be seen outside walking the square, following a path in the But current and former officials directly involved in the interrogation program say that’s not the case.

Mohammed acknowledged knowing al-Kuwaiti after being waterboarded, but he also denied he was an alQaida figure or of any importance. It was a lie, much like the stories Mohammed said he made up about where bin Laden was hiding. Even after the CIA deemed him “compliant,” Mohammed never gave up al-Kuwaiti’s real name or his location, or acknowledged al-Kuwaiti’s importance in the terrorist network.

But the detention program did play a crucial role in the search for bin Laden.

In 2004, top al-Qaida operative Hassan Ghul was captured in Iraq. In a secret CIA prison, Ghul confirmed to the CIA that al-Kuwaiti was an important courier. In particular, Ghul said, the courier was close to Faraj al-Libi, who had replaced Mohammed as alQaida’s operational commander.

The CIA had less success when it captured al-Libi.

Al-Libi was not water-

Palacio has two cousins who are Marines, his mother used to want to be a fighter pilot, and he’s spoken with recruiters. Even if he chooses to pursue his art instead, Palacio doesn’t regret coming to the school.

“It was me having another chance to make things right,” he said.

His mother has seen him do a 180 with his grades and his attitude. Once an introvert, Palacio seems much more excited and happy when he and Bray speak on the phone.

“He’s a completely different person,” Bray said. “He’s growing up.”

Bray said she sent him to military school to show him how many opportunities he could have in life. On May 14, she’ll get to see her son graduate in a military uniform and move on to the next phase of his life.

boarded. But he did get the full range of enhanced interrogation, including intense sleep deprivation, former officials recalled. Despite those efforts, al-Libi adamantly denied knowing al-Kuwaiti. He acknowledged meeting with an important courier, but he provided a fake name.

Both he and Mohammed withheld or fabricated information, even after the agency’s toughest interrogations. That gave credence to what many longtime interrogators have maintained, that increasingly harsh questioning produces information but not necessarily reliable information.

Teen doesn’t let arthritis slow her down 1 | TENNESSEE

Memphis readies for big river As Memphis readied for the mighty Mississippi to bring its furor to town, some Kentucky residents upstream returned to their homes Saturday, optimistic the levees would hold and that they had seen the worst of the flooding.

In the small town of Hickman, Ky., officials and volunteers spent nearly two weeks piling sandbags on top of each other to shore up the 17-mile levee, preparing for a disaster of historic proportions.

About 75 residents were told to flee town and waited anxiously for days to see just how bad the flooding would be.

By Saturday, the levee had held, and officials boasted that only a few houses appeared to be damaged. More importantly, no one was injured or killed.

“We have held back the Mississippi River and that’s a feat,” Fulton County’s emergency management director Hugh Caldwell said. “We didn’t beat it, but it didn’t beat us. We’ll call it a draw.”

Downstream, though, there was danger, in places like Memphis, the Mississippi Delta and Louisiana. In Arkansas, authorities recovered the body of a man who drove around barricades earlier in the week and was swept away by floodwaters when he tried to walk out.

Sixteen-year-old Elaney Pickering was honored Saturday morning during the sixth annual Lawrence Arthritis Walk in South Park.

Elaney was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at age 8. The first symptom was a swollen finger that she couldn’t move. A few months later, she started hobbling on a swollen ankle.

Now the arthritis affects more than 20 joints, including her knees, hips and jaw. She takes medications to help ease the pain, including two injections a week.

“It hurts and it swells, and there are good days and there are bad days,” she said before participating in the walk.

Taliban attack government offices The Taliban unleashed a major assault Saturday on government buildings throughout Afghanistan’s main southern city, an attack that cast doubt on how successful the U.S.-led coalition has been in its nearly yearlong military campaign to establish security and stability in the former Taliban stronghold.

The Taliban said their goal was to take control of Kandahar city, the birthplace of the Taliban and President Hamid Karzai’s home province, making it the most ambitious of a series of recent high-profile attacks on government installations. The attack came a day after the Islamic movement said Osama bin Laden’s death would only serve to boost morale, but a Taliban spokesman insisted it had been in the works for months before the al-Qaida leader was killed by American commandos on Monday.

Shooting started shortly after midday and lasted more than seven hours, while government forces were backed by military helicopters firing from overhead.

Before the Lawrence school district can save money through buying applesauce, trash can liners and a variety of instructional supplies by the pallet — make that dozens, even hundreds of pallets — it’ll first need to spend some money to make room for all the goods.

The proposed solution: lease warehouse space near Walmart and Home Depot.

Monday night, members of the Lawrence school board will consider leasing a 12,000square-foot building at 1811 W. 31st St. for SCHOOLS use as a bulkstorage and distribution center.

The district would pay $4,200 a month for the building, the former home of Western Extralite Co.’s Lawrence operations. The building is equipped with overhead doors and enough large open space to handle 500 pallets of bulk items, or more than twice as much allowed by the district’s current warehouse capacity.

“We’re ordering in such small capacities, we’re getting no economies of scale,” said Rick Doll, district superintendent.

3 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

President’s trip to Pakistan less certain President Barack Obama’s promised trip to Pakistan this year, once seen as a reward for a key ally in the fight against terrorism, is now a looming headache for the White House as it tries to determine whether the government in Islamabad was complicit in allowing Osama bin Laden to live for years within the country’s borders.

Obama told Pakistani officials in the fall that he planned to travel there in 2011, in part to soothe concerns that the president was favoring Pakistan’s neighbor and archrival, India, by visiting there first.

White House spokesmen questioned this week by The Associated Press refused to say whether Obama still planned to go.

In the hours after bin Laden’s killing by a U.S. special forces team in Pakistan, John Brennan, Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, left the topic open. “I’m not going to address the president’s schedule,” he said. “I think there’s a commitment that the president has made that he is intending to visit Pakistan.

A lot depends on availability, scheduling.”

The decision is of enormous strategic and symbolic importance to both countries. A presidential trip would signal a continued U.S. commitment to its complicated, yet necessary, relationship with Pakistan, a country that is not only integral in dealing with terrorism, but will also play a key role in the U.S. troop drawdown in neighboring Afghanistan.

Obama tries to reassure public on jobs President Barack Obama is reassuring the public that jobs and the economy are his top priority.

At the end of a historic and emotionally charged week that began with his nationally televised announcement that Osama bin Laden had been killed in Pakistan during a raid by U.S. special forces, Obama on Saturday returned to promoting his energy agenda.

“So although our economy hasn’t been the focus of the news this week, not a day goes by that I’m not focused on your jobs, your hopes and your dreams,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.

He recorded the address Friday while visiting an Indianapolis transmissions plant that makes systems for hybrid vehicles.

Event draws more than 600 to debate atheism

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video report at LJWorld.com

A Friday night debate about the existence of God at the first ever ReasonFest failed to solve any colossal theological questions, said organizer Joey Rolph.

But the debate, which kicked off a series of talks and presentations on atheism, achieved its goal of stirring conversation and inquiry.

More than 600 people attended, maxing out Woodruff Auditorium’s seating capacity.

“We actually joked after the debate that next time we should do it until one side admits they’re wrong,” said Rolph, a member of the Society of OpenMinded Atheists & Agnostics, or SOMA, which sponsored ReasonFest.

A series of speakers took the stage Saturday at Woodruff in the Kansas Union to discuss a

wide variety of topics related to atheism, such as sexuality, naturalism and paranormal investigations into Biblical miracles.

Saturday evening ReasonFest wrapped up at Wilde’s Chateau 24, 2412 Iowa, with proceeds from the $2 entry fee benefiting the Douglas County AIDS Project.

Conrad Hudson, founder of ReasonFest and a SOMA member, said the two-day event was designed to expose people to

new ideas.

“Hopefully it’s challenging and enlightening,” he said.

While many of the ReasonFest attendees held firm atheistic views, Rolph said they also wanted to reach those questioning their faith and thirsting for more information.

“They want to see what the other side has to say,” he said.

ON THE RECORD

LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • Lawrence police detectives arrested a second adult suspect Saturday in connection with a central Lawrence robbery investigation.

Police took a 19-year-old Ottawa man into custody Saturday morning at his Ottawa residence and brought him to the Douglas County Jail on counts of aggravated robbery and kidnapping. A judge set the man’s bond at $75,000.

Police said Friday they arrested a 22-year-old Richmond man in Ottawa on several charges, including aggravated robbery, kidnapping and aggravated intimidation of a witness, and a judge set his bond at the same amount. Officers said he was arrested related to an investigation into two alleged robberies that occurred in February and March in the 800 block of Hilltop Drive near Ninth and Iowa streets. Police have also arrested a juvenile suspect in the case.

The victim in the case alleged an acquaintance and another person held and tied him up at gunpoint at his residence and stole money and property. He also said several people robbed him again at gunpoint at the residence in mid-March. That time he received treatment a few days later at Lawrence Memorial Hospital for being struck in the face, police said.

Prosecutors likely won’t file official charges against any suspects in the case until Monday.

The Journal-World generally does not identify suspects unless they are formally charged.

a warrant for aggravated battery related to a March incident, according to Douglas County Jail records.

Darrell Joe Sharp was released on a $2,500 own recognizance bond and given notice to appear in district court May 19. According to a police report, Sharp was a suspect in an alleged battery that occurred the afternoon of March 19 at Dillons, 1015 W. 23rd St. A 59year-old Lawrence man was listed as the victim, and his eye glasses were damaged.

Prosecutors have filed an aggravated battery charge against Sharp, according to jail records.

INJURY ACCIDENT • A 54-year-old Strong City man was injured after his truck hit a railing and overturned on Interstate 70 around 5 p.m.

Friday.

According to the Kansas Turnpike Authority, the man's westbound truck sideswiped two other vehicles as he attempted to pass them near mile marker 205, just east of Lawrence. No one from the other vehicles was injured during the incident. The man was treated at the scene but not taken to the hospital, according to the KTA. The Journal-World does not print accounts of all police reports filed.

The newspaper generally reports: • Burglaries, only with a loss of $1,000 or more, unless there are unusual circumstances. To protect victims, we generally don’t identify them by name.

• The names and circumstances of people arrested, only after they are charged.

• Assaults and batteries, only if major injuries are reported.

• Holdups and robberies.

From close to death to down the aisle: Couple marries in hospital

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@theworldco.info

SHAWNEE — When Shawnee Mission Medical Center paged chaplain Mike Jacob last week, doctors knew something was seriously wrong with Shawnee resident Alan Jones’ heart.

Tests soon revealed Jones, 55, had a ruptured aorta, torn from his heart to his femoral artery. And Jacob was tasked with delivering the news to Tracey Bowman, Jones’ girlfriend of seven years whom he planned to marry this summer.

“At that time, I began support,” the chaplain said. “People don’t survive this — people die.”

A lot can happen in a week.

Jones survived — “miraculously,” hospital staff said — a seven-hour surgery to repair his aorta on April 28. His condition was touch-and-go in the days that followed but stabilized by Sunday. After emerging from anesthesia Monday, he looked up at Bowman and told her he didn’t want to wait any longer.

Delaying only long enough to get a Kansas marriage license, the couple wed Friday in the hospital’s chapel.

Jacob officiated, although before agreeing to do so the chaplain said he questioned the couple about taking the step so soon after such a traumatic event.

“Alan told me, ‘We’ve been

“

Alan told me, ‘We’ve been thinking about getting married for the past year or so, and what better place to get married than in the place and with the people who saved my life?’”

— Shawnee Mission Medical Center chaplain Mike Jacob thinking about getting married for the past year or so, and what better place to get married than in the place and with the people who saved my life?’” Jacob said. “How could you say no to that?”

Jones — seated in a wheelchair and hooked to a vitalsigns monitor — wore a black tuxedo T-shirt, slipper socks and his hospital wristband.

Bowman wore a kneelength empire-waist white dress and bolero jacket, which she found in a rush at Maurices on Shawnee Mission Parkway.

The couple, who live together in Shawnee, met through Match.com.

She said that she loves his sense of humor, and that he’s the half that makes her whole.

He said it may sound corny but she’s his best friend.

Friends and relatives said Jones and Bowman just seem to complete one another.

“They have this sense of

humor that only those two get sometimes,” said Bowman’s daughter, Kansas University student Tiffany Johnson.

Johnson said some of her mother’s relatives drove all night from Wisconsin for the wedding.

“They said they weren’t going to miss this,” she said.

Also attending were hospital employees, including nurse Elvie Tabije.

Tabije said she was “thrilled” for the couple, especially after seeing Jones through surgery the previous week. He still faces a potentially lengthy recovery.

“I knew that this procedure is very, very complicated,” Tabije said. “And I just prayed the whole time that he would pull through.”

In the opening minutes of Friday’s ceremony, the chaplain told Jones that most people don’t even make it to the hospital alive, much less survive surgery, with his condition. He reminded the couple that their marriage should prevail in sickness and in health.

Bowman knelt down to Jones’ level while the two exchanged vows.

“We are going to have a wonderful life together,” Jones said as he slipped a ring on his new wife’s finger, “and it’s just beginning.”

WHEEL GENIUS

Road work planned this week ● From 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays, Indiana Street will have no parking and is closed to through traffic from Sixth Street to Eighth Street and Third Street to Sixth Street.

Lawrence ● On Clinton Parkway west of Kasold Drive, the right-hand turn lane and one eastbound lane will be closed for about two weeks so crews can remove concrete and pour new concrete. South-bound turns onto Kasold are allowed, but the city encourages drivers to use extra caution at the intersection.

Also as part of the project, Kasold Drive between Clinton Parkway and 31st Street has both directions of traffic traveling along the southbound lanes of Kasold. Each direction is narrowed to one lane as crews rebuild the roadway.

Access from side streets is right-turn only. The project is expected to last for several months. ● Traffic will be reduced to one lane in the 700 block of Kentucky Street as crews replace curbing on the west side of the road. ● A portion of the Kansas River levee trail will be closed for the construction of the Bowersock Mills & Power Co.’s new plant on the north bank of the Kansas River. A detour on the trail will take users from the trail to city streets crossing at the controlled intersection of Second and Locust Streets.

Signs will be clearly posted marking the detour route to direct users throughout the detour. The city urges drivers and trail users to use caution when traveling through the intersection. The detour will run for the duration of the project, which is projected to last 20 months. ● The city is in the first phase of its overlay projects.

Temporary single lane closures should be expected in these areas, but traffic will most likely be able to flow through the area. For a map of the overlay projects go to www.lawrenceks.org/ public_works/ streetmaintenance and click on “2011 Street Maintenance Plan.” ● City maintenance crews are working on a microsurfacing program. Roads throughout the city will be repaved and resurfaced. Lane reductions and possible street closures may occur during the process. To find out what streets the city has targeted, visit the city’s website at www.ci.lawrence.ks.us.

Douglas County ● Douglas County Road 9 is closed between U.S. Highway 24-40 and Interstate 70.

The road will be closed so crews can work on bridge construction. It will remain closed until late spring.

U.S. Highway 59 ● North 200 Road is closed at U.S. Highway 59 for frontage road construction work. The road will be tied to the new frontage road that runs parallel to the new U.S. Highway 59. Work is scheduled to be completed in late 2012.

U.S. Highway 56 ● A bridge replacement project is under way just west of the U.S. Highway 75 junction in Osage County.

About .44 mile west of the junction, both eastbound and westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 56 will be closed to all but local traffic. A marked detour will take drivers through Burlingame to Osage City and then back to U.S. Highway 7. The project is expected to be finished in mid-June.

Interstate 70 ● In Wyandotte County, the westbound left lane will be closed from 118th Street to Interstate 435 for pavement repair work beginning at 6 p.m. Monday and reopening to all traffic at 6 a.m. Tuesday. Project work is scheduled to be completed on Tuesday ● In Topeka, the westbound right lane from Fairlawn Road to Wanamaker Road and the Fairlawn Road to westbound I-70 entrance ramp will be closed for pavement repair work on Monday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The work will be completed that day. ● Kansas Turnpike Authority is reconstructing a three-mile stretch of highway just east of Lawrence. Traffic will be narrowed to one lane in each direction from mile marker 208 to mile marker 211. Access to the Lawrence Service Area will remain

open. Delays are expected during rush hour. The project will be f inished by November. ● A bridge replacement project is under way for the 142nd Street bridge spanning the Kansas Turnpike in Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties. The northbound and southbound lanes on 142nd Street will be closed between Kansas Avenue and Riverview Avenue. The stretch of road will remain closed for the duration of the project. As part of the project, daily lane closures could occur on the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-70 and the right shoulder of the road. The project should be complete in late fall. ● In Wyandotte County, both eastbound and westbound directions will be reduced to one lane from 118th Street to I-435 for pavement repair work. The project is expected to last until June.

Interstate 435 ● The eastbound ramp from 105th and Lackman Road to eastbound 1-435 will be closed for asphalt repair work until 5 a.m. Monday.

The project will be finished Wednesday. ● A bridge-painting project at the Johnson Drive interchange is under way.

The work will require varying lane closures that will reduce northbound and southbound traffic along I435 down to one lane at a time. The lane reductions will occur Monday through Friday from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The ramps will remain open.

The project should be completed by mid-July.

Interstate 35 ● The northbound and southbound right lane will be closed from Interstate 435 to the Missouri state line for pavement patching on Monday between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The project is scheduled to be completed Monday. ● Northbound travel will be reduced to one lane from Lone Elm Road to Santa Fe and 135th Street for aroundthe-clock pavement repairs. It will reopen to all traffic at 5 a.m. Monday.

Project work is scheduled to be completed on Monday.

JUDGE PRO TEM JAMES T. GEORGE LISTENS to a plaintiff on Thursday in Small Claims Court at the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St.

Court CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

simple, but usually not lacking in surprise. This is the Small Claims Court of Douglas County, and perhaps the biggest surprise is who is not here: lawyers.

Elster, you see, is not an attorney. He’s the man who wants his $1,100. And Beck sits alone because those are the rules. Small Claims Court is perhaps the oddest place in the courthouse. It is a place you didn’t think existed. It’s the Land of No Lawyers.

“It stands logic on its head,” said Judge Pro Tem James T. George, who oversees the proceedings. ●●●

George has to make the announcement himself.

As a fidgety crowd of about a half dozen waits, he walks through the door behind the bench and simply says “All rise.” In this courtroom there is no bailiff, no court reporter or anybody else to make the proclamation for him. But it is one tradition that stands even in Small Claims Court.

Many others fall. That’s what makes the court, which meets every Thursday in the Judge Pro Tem’s courtroom at the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, unique.

You already know about the no lawyer rule. That one applies to everyone. Even if a company is sued and has a lawyer on staff, he or she is barred.

“Any employee could represent the company, as long as it is not the attorney,” George said.

The traditional rules of evidence take a particular beating here. There’s no need to know the procedures taught in a law school to present a case in Small Claims Court.

Usually a case is as simple as you telling your story, and the other side telling theirs. One rule that is in effect is the hearsay rule. That means if you heard something, and you want the judge to hear it, you’ll have to get the person who said it to the courtroom.

But as a litigator, you do have the power to subpoena a witness to testify.

One brave plaintiff last week actually subpoenaed a Lawrence police officer to testify in a dispute regarding the plaintiff’s car being towed from an apartment complex.

It didn’t appear to be the highlight of the officer’s day, but the testimony did help the plaintiff win a $200 judgment against the complex. ●●●

There was a card game, your honor. Poker, actually, in a garage in Overland Park.

Pretty much every Tuesday night.

Ah, here it is, the small claims surprise.

When Beck got his turn to talk — each side is allotted about 7.5 minutes — he very easily owns up to being a poker player.

You see, Beck claims the $1 , 100 was never a loan.

Instead, Elster and he had met at this card game through

“

Believe me, winning a judgment and collecting a judgment are two different things.”

— Judge Pro Tem James T. George a mutual friend. Beck soon learned that Elster had a practice of — he believes the phrase in the industry is — “staking” some players. In other words, Elster would provide the cash for an evening of play and be repaid — plus anywhere from 20 to 50 percent interest — with the winnings.

Theoretically.

“I can play the game OK,” Beck told the judge. “But I don’t win every time. It is about 50-50. He was rolling the dice.”

Elster’s rebuttal strategy probably has some fancy law school name, but it seemed to center around calling the defendant’s integrity into question.

“He’s lying through his teeth,” is how Elster would later describe Beck’s story.

Sure, Elster said, the two had played poker together.

But he denies being a stakehorse for anybody. He loaned Beck the money to tide him over while he was looking for work. As for Beck’s version ...

“That’s the f irst time,” Elster says to the judge, “that I’ve ever heard that story.”

Welcome to Small Claims Court. ●●●

Probably the biggest tradition that is broken in this court is the one of writing a big check to have justice done.

If you are looking to file a case where you would be awarded $500 or less, the filing fee is $49. If the amount of damages is over $500, the filing fee is $69. The time is pretty minimal, too.

Filing mainly involves filling out a form that lists your version of events, the defendant’s name and address, and the amount of damages you are seeking. The filing is done in the clerk’s office of the Douglas County District Court. The court’s website has a pamphlet that offers some pointers.

But, of course, there is a catch. You can’t seek more than $4,000 in damages, thus the “small” in Small Claims Court.

Sometimes it ends up being even smaller than people imagined. Just because you win a case in Small Claims Court doesn’t mean

SATURDAY, NOV. 5 – 7:30 p.m.

the court is going to get the defendant to give you the money.

“Believe me, winning a judgment and collecting a judgment are two different things,” George told the court crowd on at least three different occasions last week.

But winning a case does give you some legal leverage.

At that point it becomes a legal debt that can be turned over to a collection agency or an attorney. The judge also can issue a bench warrant for a defendant, if the defendant continually refuses to pay.

“I think, eventually, most judgments get paid,” George said.

An Evening with David Sedaris Humorist, author and public radio contributor WEDNESDAY, NOV. 9 7:30 p.m.

The Celtic Tenors Songs of the season SATURDAY, DEC. 10 – 7:30 p.m.

●●●

There would be no pay for Elster though.

The judge makes a ruling immediately after the case is presented. Sometimes he spends upwards of 5 minutes or so — while the crowd watches — reading documents related to the case and reviewing other evidence. In Elster’s case, though, there wasn’t any. There was no loan contract. No copies of the text messages promising to pay. Just two tales.

“There are obviously two different stories being told here,” George says as he invites the parties to the bench.

He warns everyone at the beginning of the proceeding that if he can’t tell who is telling the truth, the defendant wins. Kind of like the sandlot rule of all ties go to the runner.

That was the case here. He has both parties sign the decision, noting, “It doesn’t mean you agree with it, but it does mean that you were here.”

He sends both on their way with what appears to be the closest thing he has to a catch phrase — don’t expect a Judge Judy-style lecture.

“That’s all I’ve got,” he simply says as he places the documents in their hands.

Outside the courtroom, Elster is asked whether going through the process made him at least feel better. Let him get it off his chest, so to speak.

“Not really,” he says. “But it is better than not having an issue resolved, or resolving it in ways that will get you in trouble. Stay away from that.

That will get in you in another type of court — criminal court.”

The surprises there can be a little tougher to swallow.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD ● LJWorld.com ● Sunday, May 8, 2011

EDITORIALS

Hays example If the medical center in Hays can find a way to offer even limited inpatient mental health care, perhaps Lawrence Memorial Hospital officials should try again to provide similar care.

O

fficials at Lawrence Memorial Hospital may be interested in a news item from Hays.

The Hays Medical Center announced last week that it would open a new inpatient psychiatric facility this summer for people 65 and older. Medical center leaders said the decision was made to respond to a special need in their area. The center sees up to five older patients a day who are in need of inpatient mental health services. The only option now is to send them up to 100 miles away to Abilene and Kinsley and most facilities have waiting lists.

The new 15-bed Hays facility is scheduled to open July 1, according to a news report, but patients will be admitted sooner if they are judged to be a threat to themselves or others.

Lawrence currently has no inpatient psychiatric facility for people of any age. LMH closed its mental health unit in 2004, because officials said that they were having trouble hiring psychiatrists to staff the unit and that the volume of patients It would be sad if this didn’t justify such a facility. boiled down to a probably purely financial issue, areThere signif icant that perhaps differences in the providing mental situations faced in Lawrence and health care simply Hays, but there isn’t as good for the seem to be hospital’s bottom line also some similarities. as providing cardiac Lawrence has or cancer care. some inpatient facilities that are closer than 100 miles, but that doesn’t mean space will be available, especially with state funding cutbacks.

Although LMH cited hiring problems, Hays Medical Center was able to a hire a psychiatrist and expects to add 21 full-time equivalent positions to staff the new 15-bed facility. The fact that the facility will be restricted to people 65 and older isn’t ideal, but it’s a start and probably serves a special need among the aging population of many rural Kansas areas.

The point is that Hays saw a need and tried to address it. LMH officials certainly have done that in other treatment areas. They have gone to considerable effort and expense to hire additional doctors to expand cardiac services and provide radiation and chemotherapy services that many patients once had to travel to Topeka or Kansas City to obtain. Why not mental health care? In 2007, LMH reported that about 30 patients a month need to be transferred to Topeka or Kansas City hospitals for mental health care, but that was deemed insufficient to justify revisiting the issue of inpatient mental health care.

It would be sad if this boiled down to a purely financial issue, that perhaps providing mental health care simply isn’t as good for the hospital’s bottom line as providing cardiac or cancer care. Mental illness supposedly has come out of its historical shadows, but the need to provide mental health care still appears to be undervalued.

If the Hays Medical Center can figure out a way to support even limited inpatient services for mental health care, it seems LMH should at least make another effort to find a way to provide such services here in Lawrence.

Columnist reflects on wonders of 70 WASHINGTON — In 1960, after the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the New York Yankees in an electrifying seven-game World Series, the Yankees fired manager Casey Stengel, who had turned 70 in July. The Yankees said he was too old. He said, “I’ll never make the mistake of being 70 again.”

It is, however, a coveted mistake, considering the alternative, and remembering how recently it was that passing this milestone became unremarkable. The Bible, with the thumping certitude for which it is famous and sometimes tiresome, asserts that “the days of our years are threescore years and ten.” If so, after turning 70, one has, ever after, the pleasure of playing, as it were, with house money. For what, exactly, would one now give up red meat and dry martinis?

To be 70 is to have escaped the disagreeable fate of dying young.

But the Bible, which is replete with redundant reminders that life is real, life is earnest, adds this: “And if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” Have a nice day.

To be 70 is to have seen the nation put away the almost casual cruelty of racial segregation.

And to have seen, in the emancipation — not too strong a term — of women, and in many other improvements, how this uniquely self-transforming nation decided to declare unthinkable

70 is to have “seenTothebe nation put away

the almost casual cruelty of racial segregation. And to have seen, in the emancipation — not too strong a term — of women, and in many other improvements, how this uniquely self-transforming nation decided to declare unthinkable many practices that not long ago were performed unthinkingly.”

many practices that not long ago were performed unthinkingly.

To be 70 is to have been born shortly before Pearl Harbor, to have lived through the war that was already then raging, and the Cold War, and to have arrived at the sunny uplands of today. Yes, of course, man is still, and ever will be, born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. But never

before in the human story has the risk of death by violence been smaller for such a large portion of humanity.

To be 70 is to have been born about the time competent medicine was born, with the arrival of penicillin, antibiotics and sulfa drugs. This is a reminder that contemporary America’s most pressing domestic problem is a consequence of success. The crisis — the obsolescence — of the previous century’s welfare state is a result of the social triumph represented by something unimagined 70 years ago, an enormous and expanding cohort of octogenarians.

To be 70 is to appreciate Mark Twain’s example of aging vigorously: “I am able to say that while I am not ruggedly well, I am not ill enough to excite an undertaker.” True, Twain had memory cramps of the sort that now are called “senior moments.” He worried, “I’ll forget the Lord’s middle name some time, right in the midst of a storm, when I need all the help I can get.” Nevertheless, he strode into the sunset wearing a snow-white suit.

To be 70 is to understand that time cannot wither, nor custom stale the infinite pleasure of simply trying to do things well, or witnessing others do them.

Casey Stengel returned from exile to manage the 1962 New York Mets, an expansion team that, en route to losing 120 games, caused him to look down the

dugout and ask in wonderment, “Can’t anybody here play this game?” Few can, which is why the especially talented few — athletes, writers, musicians, thinkers — delight the many.

To be 70 is to experience a temptation generally worth resisting: the itch to natter on as Polonius did when belaboring Laertes with bromides. But to be 70 is to be running short on time for the pleasure of succumbing to temptations, so: Happiness — herewith the distilled essence of 70 years of experience — is a talent, and one that, unlike hitting a curveball, anyone can develop. Considering that America exists to protect the individual’s pursuit of it, this pursuit is a pleasant duty.

Finally, to be 70 is to have lived 30 percent of the life of this nation, which is almost enough time to begin to fully appreciate the inestimable privilege of being a legatee of those who f irst unfurled the republic’s sails and steered it toward the present.

That is why — with homage to F. Scott Fitzgerald — as we beat on, boats against the current, we should be borne back ceaselessly into the American past: It is impossible for the young to know, but never too late to learn, that America truly is something — perhaps the only thing — commensurate with our capacity for wonder.

Organizers of Independence Days, YEARS Lawrence’s AGO annual IN 1986 Fourth of July celebration, announced that they had recorded several versions of a new song to use for radio and television advertisements for the festival. The song, “Independence Days (Lawrence in July),” had been written by Jim Stringer, with lyrics by John Clifford.

It was no surprise to attendees that at the first of a series of “town meetings,” the proposed Lawrence bypass drew the most public comments. At the two-hour Baldwin meeting, first of the series held by Douglas County commissioners in each of the county’s four incorporated cities, about 25 residents were in attendance.

The Lawrence area was in need of rain YEARS — "more AGO than a dustIN 1971 settling trace" of rain. "Virtually everyone connected with any agriculture or livestock operation" was in agreement that the current dry spell, although not yet in the critical stage, was only about three weeks from that point. The pastures appeared to be the hardest hit, with many livestock having to receive supplemental feed. No damage had yet been observed on crops.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World YEARS for May 8, AGO 1911: IN 1911 "It was a period of riotous excitement which Bob C. Geffs, a former Lawrence high school lad, spent in San Francisco last month, a period which culminated with his arrest on a charge of forgery, embezzlement, and threatened murder. Geffs, who is well known in Lawrence, eloped with the beautiful wife of a Chicago financier and spent three weeks of poetic bliss ... The love of Geffs and his affinity, Mrs. L. W. Wilhelm, was as intense as it was fleeting. They fled to San Francisco to await their opportunity to secure a divorce, but quarreled and separated.”

JOHN VELAZQUEZ RIDES ANIMAL KINGDOM to victory during the 137th Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.

DETROIT PITCHER JUSTIN VERLANDER, RIGHT, HAS WATER POURED ON HIM after throwing a nohitter against Toronto. The Tigers beat the Blue Jays, 9-0, on Saturday in Toronto.

Animal Kingdom prevails in Derby

Detroit’s Verlander tosses no-hitter ——

Tigers’ ace nearly throws perfect game in 9-0 rout of Jays TORONTO (AP) — Justin Verlander threw his second career nohitter and the second in the big leagues this week, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 9-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.

Verlander barely missed a perfect game. The only runner he allowed came with one out in the eighth inning when J.P. Arencibia walked on a full count, with Verlander’s 12th pitch to the rookie just an inch or two outside.

Minnesota’s Francisco Liriano pitched a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.

Verlander (3-3) struck out 12 in his first no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers on June 12, 2007.

This time, he fanned Rajai Davis to end it for his fourth strikeout of the game. The overpowering right-hander threw 108 pitches, 74 for strikes, against a Blue Jays lineup missing ailing slugger Jose Bautista.

“Just as good as the first,” Verlander said.

Blue Jays rookie David Cooper popped to second on Verlander’s first pitch of the ninth. John McDonald followed with a grounder to second. With the crowd of 23,453 standing and cheering, Davis ended it by striking out swinging on a 2-2 pitch from the 2006 AL Rookie of the Year.

Verlander calmly pumped his fist and smiled, then shared a hug with catcher Alex Avila before being mobbed by teammates near the mound. He was doused with a bucket of ice water by reliever Jose Valverde.

“I felt like tonight I had really good control of my fastball, and I just used that to my advantage,” Verlander said. “My breaking ball was surprisingly my worst pitch.

That’s probably indicative of why I didn’t have many strikeouts. I was just able to move the ball around and keep guys off balance and get some quick outs.”

KANSAS GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR, LEFT, IS PICTURED with his mother Jeanell Taylor on Friday outside Allen Fieldhouse. The two have been each other’s biggest supporters over the years in New Jersey, Florida and Kansas.

Taylor cherishes eternal support from mom

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

In between bites of salad on a late lunch break Thursday at Hy-Vee, cashier Jeanell Taylor paused to fiddle with her iPhone.

“Here’s my favorite picture of Tyshawn,” offered Jeanell, mother of Kansas University junior basketball point guard Tyshawn Taylor.

She produced a photo of herself and her son — one snapped in August 2008 in Hoboken, N.J., just days before the start of the 2008-09 school year, Tyshawn’s first of four at KU. “This is right before I came to college,” Tyshawn exclaimed in acknowledging the iPhone photo passed his eye test.

“Taking a look at that ... I’d say we look a lot alike.”

That’s fine with Tyshawn, who likes being compared to his “best friend.”

“My mom has always been my

Tyshawn said of Jeanell, who moved from her birthplace of Hoboken to Lawrence with Tyshawn’s two sisters, Taquana and Tatiana, after Tyshawn’s freshman year.

“I think 75 to 80 percent of the reason why I play basketball is to make sure at the end of the day my mom is happy. She is my motivation. To be able to see her in the stands when I play gives me that extra oomph.”

Though Tyshawn doesn’t live with his mom — he’s at Jayhawker Towers; Jeanell in a townhouse — he’s with her a lot. She usually cooks for him three times a week.

L O U I S V I L L E , K Y . ( AP ) — John Velazquez won the Kentucky Derby by a broken nose.

An injury to Animal Kingdom’s regular rider, Robby Albarado, cleared the way for Velazquez to pick up the mount on the 20-1 long shot. Once he took the reins Saturday, he rode his good luck all the way to the winner’s circle.

“For once, I’m on the good end of it,” Velazquez said. “All of a sudden I pick up this one and he wins the Derby, so it was meant to be.”

The last three years, the New York-based jockey came to Churchill Downs with a colt considered a leading contender, only to have it withdrawn.

This time, he was supposed to ride early second choice Uncle Mo before the colt was scratched due to a lingering stomach problem. Then Albarado broke his nose when he was thrown off his horse and kicked in the face before a race three days ago.

Animal Kingdom, who had never raced on dirt before, reacted to his new rider the way a champion should, charging down the middle of the stretch to 3 win by 2 ⁄4 lengths in front of a crowd of 164,858, the largest in Derby history.

He ran 11⁄4 miles in 2:02.04 — well off Secretariat’s track record of 1:59.40 in 1973 — and paid $43.80, $19.60 and $13.

Nehro returned $8.80 and $6.40, while Mucho Macho Man was another neck back in third and paid $7 to show.

“It’s words that you can’t describe,” Velazquez said. “But I do really feel really bad for Robby. I hope he’s winning the Derby with me here. I know he got hurt, so this is for both of us, buddy. I know you’re not on it, but I know you’re with me.”

Well, not exactly.

“I’m not happy,” said Albarado, despite winning a $345,600 stakes race on the Derby undercard.

“Barry Irwin decided he didn’t think I was fit to ride; he didn’t know my status or situation. This just wasn’t my time today.”

Animal Kingdom is owned by Team Valor International, a partnership syndicate headed by Irwin, a former writer for the Daily Racing Form, the industry’s bible.

CAROLINE KING, LEFT, AND ROSEMARY BLACK YELL TO ENCOURAGE teammate Morgan Miller as she swam anchor in the 200 freestyle. The Firebirds placed fifth in the Sunflower League championships on Saturday in Olathe.

OLATHE — All afternoon, Free State High swimmer Reilly Moore had been trying her hardest to ignore the raucous atmosphere at the Sunflower League championships and keep focused as she prepared for her events.

But as she accepted her medal and climbed to her place at the top of the podium after capturing

first place in the 100 breaststroke, she finally cracked and a big grin broke out across her face.

“When I finally got up there, I was like, ‘OK, I need to stop being so serious,’” Moore said after swimming a season-best 1:09.78, the best time in the field by nearly two seconds. “Because this is a great moment in my life, and I just need to have fun.”

Moore also took third in the 50 freestyle to lead FSHS to a fifth-

place finish (102 points) at the league championships on Saturday at California Trail Middle School.

Shawnee Mission East had a dominant showing and won with 372 points, while Olathe Northwest (240) and Olathe East (201) rounded out the top three.

Miranda Rohn and Annie Odrowski guided Lawrence High to seventh place (86 points).

Rohn took third in the 100 back

at 1:02.08 and sixth in the 200 IM at 2:23.06, while Odrowski — only a freshman — took fifth in the 500 free (5:32.95) and sixth in the 100 back (1:07.25).

Rohn and Odrowski both swam on LHS’ medaling relay teams: the fifth-place finishing 200 medley and the sixth-place finishing 400 free.

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Regan Smith moved in front on a caution nine laps from the end and survived a green-white-checker finish to win the Southern 500 for his first Sprint Cup victory Saturday night.

Smith held off Carl Edwards the final two laps at Darlington Raceway in a race that turned ugly late when Kyle Busch tangled with Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer to set up the overtime finish.

After the race, Harvick tracked down Busch’s car, stopped in front of Busch on pit road, then got out of his car and attempted to punch or grab Busch through his window.

Busch then slammed into Harvick’s driverless car, sending it crashing in the inside wall.

Harvick and Busch then stared down each other from their cars as they entered the garage before a standoff that looked as if it might erupt further. It finally ended when Busch bumped Harvick several times to make space to drive off. Both drivers were summoned to the NASCAR hauler.

LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao earned an unanimous decision over Sugar Shane Mosley on Saturday night, retaining his WBO welterweight title with his 14th consecutive victory.

Pacquiao (54-3-2) didn’t get the knockout he sought, but the Filipino Congressman kept his spot as boxing’s top pound-for-pound fighter, methodically beating Mosley (46-7-1) at the MGM Grand Garden.

The eight-division champion knocked down Mosley with a right-left combination midway through the third round, just the third knockdown of Mosley’s decorated 18-year career.

The 39-year-old Mosley was credited with a knockdown in the 10th round when he appeared to push Pacquiao while the champion threw a wild punch.

You got me?’ If she’s got it, she’s got me. If I’ve got it and she needs it, she’s going to have it, too. If she asks for something and I don’t have it, I go get it.”

Though Tyshawn considers his connection with his mom, “more of a big sister/little brother relationship,” single mother Jeanell has served as a father figure as well.

“Me growing up wasn’t easy. My mom did a lot of things I don’t know about so I could make it to the next day or the next month. She’s always been working two or three jobs to raise me and my sisters,” he said.

Her biggest sacrifice has been to relocate more than once for the benef it of Tyshawn’s basketball career.

Jeanell, who was born in the scary projects of Hoboken, always had a dream to get away.

“I didn’t want my kids to be raised there,” Jeanell said.

She was able to move the family to Clearwater, Fla. — where some relatives resided — when Tyshawn was in third grade.

“My mom fell in love with Florida and wanted to be in Florida,” Tyshawn said.

Happier than she’d ever been, Jeanell was content to remain in Florida forever.

However ... “On my ninth grade spring break, we went back to New Jersey to visit family,” Tyshawn said. “I went to an open gym at Saint Anthony (in Jersey City) with one of my cousins. I told my mom, ‘I think I want to play ball at this school.’”

Jeanell acquiesced.

“I gave up my location where I wanted to be — Florida — to be where he wanted to be,” Jeanell said, her motherly instincts telling her Tyshawn would be well served playing for legendary coach Bob Hurley at Saint Anthony.

“The high school was good academically. The coach was excellent and he guaranteed he’d get Tyshawn in a Div. I college.”

Hurley’s promises came true.

Tyshawn — he was headed to Marquette until coach Tom Crean bolted for Indiana — in the spring of his senior year signed a financial aid agreement with KU. “The nicest thing Tyshawn has ever done for me ... the day he committed to Kansas was my birthday — April 29, 2008.

He bought me balloons and a big card and gave them to me at the gym when he signed. It’s something I’ll never forget,” Jeanell said.

“He is a loving kid,” she quickly added. “Whenever he can do for me, he does for me.

Whenever he can’t, he can’t. I feel anything he does for me is special.”

Jeanell in her two years in Lawrence has done a lot for others — especially Tyshawn’s KU teammates.

“She’s such a nice person.

She’ll even cook for us,” said Tyshawn’s roommate, KU sophomore forward Travis Releford. “I love her spaghetti. Whenever I ask, she’ll cook it for us,” he added of Jeanell’s pasta dish featuring shrimp and sausages.

“When we go bowling, she’ll go with us. When we do activities outside of basketball, she is there most of the time,” Releford added.

Tyshawn has come to expect phone calls from mom telling him to come pick up bundles of food for the Jayhawks.

“She’ll put it in a big tub or separate plates for everybody,” Tyshawn said, noting he and the team love her ‘fried chicken and mac and broccoli with cheese.’

“She doesn’t go door to door with the food, but they end up getting it and know where it’s from.

“Those are her boys,” Tyshawn added. “Miss Angel (Morris, mother of Morris twins) did the same thing.

Josh’s mom did that,” he added of Maeshon Witherspoon, mother of Josh Selby.

“That’s what they do as mothers.

“As much as we say we are a family here, we really are that much of a family. We don’t just scream that and yell that. We really are a family. I think it’ll be that way for a long time, not just while we are in college.”

Tyshawn said he was most proud of his mom late in the evening of Jan. 21. That’s when she hustled over to Thomas Robinson’s apartment to be with him on the night KU sophomore power forward Robinson learned his mother died back in Washington, D.C. “My mother was hugging him, crying with him, rubbing his back, bringing him food,” Tyshawn said. “It’s the mother in her. Same with Miss Angel. I don’t even think it was a question what they had to do. They knew it from the beginning.”

Tyshawn will try to show mom how much he appreciates her on Mother’s Day today and down the line.

“My mom likes those edible arrangement things. I’ll order her one of those, some balloons and a card. My mother is real emotional. I just have to write some nice stuff in a card and she’ll be happy, crying, give me a hug and it’ll be over,” he said.

Tyshawn, who plans on playing in the NBA after graduation, has designs on giving Jeanell something with more than sentimental value.

That’s a vacation.

“My son has promised me Las Vegas ... I don’t know when it’ll be, but I do just see us — just me and him — going on a long vacation and talking about everything,” Jeanell said.

“He’s thoughtful like that. I would never want to be a parent to any other kid. As the only boy in the family ... we’ve got this little joke. He tells me, ‘Why did you have to have these two?’’’ she added of 18year-old Taquana, who now lives in Jersey, and 9-year-old Tatiana, who remains here.

“Why couldn’t you just stop at me? We would have been fine.

It would just have been me and you.”

Just Jeanell and Jamar.

Yes, Jamar.

“She calls me by my middle name every time she talks to me, which is funny,” Tyshawn Jamar Taylor said. “When I was little, she’d call me ‘Tyshawn’ or ‘Ty’ and I would not pay attention. When she called me my middle name I’d answer because I’d know she was serious. To this day, I hear my mother say ‘Jamar,’ I know she means it. She’s the only one who legit calls me that all the time.”

Mom’s take: “They call me ‘ma’ and when I don’t listen, they call me ‘Jeanell,’” she said with a laugh. “No one can call him ‘Jamar’ but me. I call him ‘Jamar’ and he answers.”

She’s had to take a stern tone toward Jamar more than once in his KU career. Taylor — it’s been well-documented — was suspended late last season for undisclosed reasons, was hurt in a fight on campus and had slip-ups on Facebook in the past.

“As a single mom, it’s tough.

You have to provide for them and do everything for them without any moral support from the dad, so it’s hard,” Jeanell said. “With Tyshawn being my only son and my oldest child, I want him to succeed. It’s hard when he does wrong and doesn’t do well, because I want him to do well.”

Despite the blips, Tyshawn has survived — even thrived — and is expected to be the team leader next season, his senior season.

“I have a lot of people here that come into the job (at HyVee register) and say, ‘I’m glad he’s staying (senior year).

He’s a wonderful kid.’ They say, wherever they met him, he’s polite. They come up to me and say, ‘You did a good job. Tyshawn is a loving kid.’ I get good feedback on him. It ain’t all bad,” she said, laughing.

Of course if people do have negative things to say about her 21-year-old child, “It’s OK as long as I don’t hear them,” Jeanell said. “I mean that’s my boy. We’re inseparable. I try to be his mom, but we are so close he happens to be my best friend. I guess I’m stuck with a best friend.”

Along with Mishler’s time in the 200 IM, Free State’s time of 2:00.85 in the 200 medley relay was among the top six in the f ield, but because they came in the consolation finals, the Firebirds weren’t eligible to medal.

“What a turnaround,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said. “That was their best time of the season (for Hana Arch, Morgan Miller, Mishler and Moore).”

Free State’s 400 free relay team also dropped time and finished fifth at 3:56.17, while Lawrence finished sixth at 4:12.32.

The only two city divers to compete were Annie Soderberg and Grace Oliver, who took seventh and 12th, respectively, for the Firebirds.

FSHS and LHS will compete in the Class 6A state meet on May 19 at the Hummer Sports Complex in Topeka.

K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . ( AP ) — With Jarrod Dyson on third as the potential winning run, what’s a batter to do?

Mike Aviles knew a shallow fly ball to the outfield would work just fine.

Aware of Dyson’s blazing speed, Aviles made sure not to overswing and he flied out to Ryan Sweeney in left field. He then watched Dyson score well ahead of the throw, giving the Kansas City Royals a 4-3 victory over Oakland on Saturday, their sixth walkoff win of the year.

“I knew I just had to get the ball somewhere in the outf ield,” Aviles said. “With Dyson’s speed, we would definitely get the run. He just has

that world-class speed. If I was on third base, we’d have to get it to the warning track.”

Brewers shut out Cardinals, 4-0 The Associated Press

Brewers 4, Cardinals 0 ST. LOUIS — Yovani Gallardo allowed only a single to start the eighth inning in Milwaukee’s victory over St. Louis on Saturday.

Gallardo (3-2) left after eight innings, the lone blemish Daniel Descalso’s solid single up the middle on a 1-1 count. The Brewers’ opening day starter entered the game with 53 hits allowed, tops in the major leagues, and ended a string of five poor outings in which he was 1-2 with an 8.89 earned-run average.

Veritas track meet a success

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

Three years ago, the Veritas Christian School track program consisted of four athletes, including now-senior Shereen Fattaahi.

Last season for practice, the Eagles ran around potholes in a gravel parking lot outside a church.

This season was much different.

The Eagles hosted the second-annual Christian Schools Invitational at Free State High on Saturday afternoon. It was a home meet of sorts for Veritas — Free State allowed the Eagles to practice on the track three nights a week during the season.

Ten teams from Kansas and Missouri competed at the high school level in the event, which was held for the first time last year at Southwest Junior High.

First-year coach Mike Bartlow said Saturday’s meet was a culmination of his athletes’ hard work, made possible by having a real track for practice.

“We’re very grateful. Just very grateful that it worked out,” Bartlow said.

Since the Eagles aren’t a part of the Kansas State High School Activities Association, they don’t compete in a state

VERITAS SOPHOMORE ANDREW JEWELL COMPETES in the 100yard dash at the Veritas Invitational on Saturday at Free State. meet. Saturday’s meet was Veritas’ last of the year, so the Eagles treated it like a championship meet.

Fattaahi helped create the track team, and after competing in the 4x800 relay and the 200-, 400- and 800-meter runs on Saturday, she stood on the infield turf and smiled.

“It’s so nice to be able to run on a real track,” Fattaahi said.

The girls team placed second and the boys placed third.

In the end, team results didn’t matter much to Bartlow.

What mattered was that most of his athletes set personal records, and several of those athletes also broke school records.

The 4x400 relay of Simon Stegall, Elijah Harvey, Preston Randall and Andrew Harvey easily toppled the school record. They f inished in 3:44.81, nearly seven seconds faster than their seed time.

“That just gets us even more pumped for next year,” Elijah Harvey said.

Fattaahi won the 800 with a time of 2:38.47 and placed fourth in the 200 immediately after. After doing the same double all season long, she’s used to the jog from the 800meter finish line to the 200meter starting blocks.

“She’s just been phenomenal for us all season,” Bartlow said.

Bartlow said he hopes that the Eagles can host the event again next season. He overheard other coaches talking about the high quality of the facilities.

He also wanted to give credit to the Eagles’ first two track coaches, Dave Roberts and April Phillips.

“They worked hard to get the kids to this point, to understand what it takes, to be committed,” Bartlow said.

O’Brien smashes 2 HRs; FSHS softball splits J-W Staff Reports

S H A W N E E — Samantha O’Brien blasted a pair of home runs and cashed in on six RBIs, and Free State’s softball team rolled Shawnee Mission Northwest, 9-3, in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday.

The Firebirds fell in the opener, 3-2.

O’Brien, a junior shortstop, leads the Sunflower League with four home runs this sea-

son. One of her home runs on Saturday was a grand slam.

She’s hitting over .500 for the spring and leads the Firebirds in hits, homers and RBIs. “She’s very capable of this,” Free State coach Lee Ice said.

“Over the last two weeks, she’s really come on. (Saturday), she just so happened to hit the home runs with people on base, not from solo shots.”

O’Brien has three homers and nine RBIs in the past two weeks.

Free State (9-10) will face Lawrence High at 6:15 p.m.

Monday at Kansas University’s Arrocha Ballpark.

Show mothers appreciation before it’s too late Dear Annie: I cut out this piece that appeared in an old Ann Landers column and am hoping you will print it for Mother's Day. It made a huge impression on me all those years ago. — Loving Daughter Dear Daughter: With pleasure. Here it is: Prayer for My Mother (author unknown) Dear God: Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.

I am blessed with a dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.

How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself?

For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes how wise her mother really is?

How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appre-

Soon after, my daughter announced that she was going out to eat with a friend.

I was shocked. When I reminded them that it's Mother's Day and I wanted to spend time with them, my son replied that he is a grown man and can spend time with whoever he wants.

Annie, I am so hurt. It hurt even more when some of my friends told me about their plans with their sons, daughters and anniesmailbox@comcast.net daughters-in-law. Where did I go wrong? I worked hard to prociated? For not saying, "I told vide a good life and decent eduyou so," when she could have cations, and my husband and I uttered those words dozens of always put their needs before times? For being essentially her- our own. self — loving, thoughtful, patient and forgiving?

I don't know how, dear God, except to ask you to bless her as richly as she deserves — and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine. — A Daughter

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD 5/8

Obama gives first interview since death of bin Laden President Barack Obama appears on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS) for his first interview since ordering the secret raid that resulted in the death of terror leader Osama Bin Laden.

Last weekend may be remembered for many reasons, but its place in media history concerns us here. The weekend began with an onslaught of coverage for a royal wedding, a well-choreographed ceremony for a young couple’s union that also served as a kind of media exorcism. The coverage was redolent with echoes of Diana’s funeral and seemed like a well-orchestrated effort to replace those sad memories with scenes of joy.

Some 50 hours later, a parallel yet wildly different event took place. As social media and then television reported news of bin Laden’s death, crowds gathered in Washington and New York and elsewhere to commemorate the event. The eager throngs also seemed to want to revisit scenes of tragedy and grief and exorcise the past with an unplanned, unscripted and spontaneous ritual of triumph, defiance and bittersweet joy.

Both Friday and Sunday’s bookend rituals were deeply influenced by endless media imagery, but the emotions on display were genuine. Like I said, a memorable weekend. ● Mother’s Day programming includes “Martha Stewart Presents: America’s Moms — A Celebration Of Military Families” (7 p.m., Hallmark), featuring appearances by first lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of the vice president. ● PBS takes a musical look at maternal bonds with “Journey of the Bonesetter’s Daughter” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) a documentary about the making of an opera based on Amy Tan’s novel about generations of Chinese and Chinese American mothers and daughters. ● Turner Classic Movies spends the entire days with movies about mothers, including the 1945 adaptation of “Mildred Pierce” (11:30 p.m., TCM); “I Remember Mama” (7 p.m.); and “Mother” (1:30 a.m.), a 1952 drama from Japan.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A winner emerges on “Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS). ● Rosie O’Donnell appears on the season finale of “Ruby” (7 p.m., Style). ● “Nature” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) spends the next three weeks with the great bears of Alaska. ● Contestants must organize a comedy show on “Celebrity Apprentice” (8 p.m., NBC) a show that has been reduced to an ugly punch line. ● Robert’s money woes mount on “South Riding” on “Masterpiece Mystery” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings, part 2 of 3). ● Ned discovers the plot behind the death of his predecessor on “Game of Thrones” (8 p.m., HBO). ● Escaped prisoners in tow, Horatio discovers new wrinkles in their plan on the season finale of “CSI: Miami” (9 p.m., CBS). ● A wedding crasher shocks the family on the 5th-season finale of “Brothers and Sisters” (9 p.m., ABC).

Dear Annie: I wrote this a year ago, but things haven't changed. I hope you will print it so my family will see it.

Today is Mother's Day and I am so sad and alone. My daughter is 31 and my son is 27. Yesterday, my daughter promised we would go for brunch and she would spend the day with me.

Instead, this morning both of my children gave me Mother's Day cards and then my son announced he was going out for dinner but would bring over

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

jacquelinebigar.com

For Sunday, May 8, 2011: This year, you communicate often, yet you might question if your message is received. As a result, many of you will take classes and workshops in how to get your message heard. The years 2011 and 2012 will be significant, as you start a new 12-year luck and/or life cycle. If you are single, you will draw a interesting potential suitor. If you are attached, the two of you open up to experience a better relationship. CANCER is far more sensitive than you think.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★ You often have to deal with a lot of tension, and today is no exception.

Curb a tendency to be exasperated by someone.

Tonight: Early to bed.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Others get that you mean well, but you might have a difficult or controlling manner. Your sense of humor with the right comment helps others relax. Tonight: Think not of tomorrow.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Explore for yourself which path works toward a goal. Bringing

friends together doesn’t always have to cost a lot.

Tonight: Where the action is.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ Are you overwhelmed by everything that is on your plate? In some way, you encourage this extra work. Establish stronger limits in your mind. Tonight: Like there is no tomorrow.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Maintain a low profile. You might enjoy a day with a friend exploring a museum or flea market.

Tonight: The fun goes on.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Don’t lose sight of your original goals.

Someone’s demands are realistic; consider meeting them. Tonight: Only what you want to do.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ You might feel unduly pressured by an older relative or friend. You will tend to step up to the plate and meet his or her expectations. You can do only so much. Tonight: Think “tomorrow,” and make an important list.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ Your ability to visualize could make the difference between success and failure with a project, a relationship and/or in life itself. Understand more

BIRTHDAYS

before you make a strong decision in a certain area of your life. Tonight: Talk about vacation plans.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ Stay close to someone you really care about. You might wonder where the beginning is and at what point you can interfere. The best, of course, is to let this person have his or her own experience.

Tonight: Make it comfortable and cozy. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ How you deal with all the requests, calls and people reflects who you are intrinsically. Choose what makes you smile and who you want to be with.

Tonight: Slow down the social pace.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Accomplish what you want. Just kick back and look at your world again. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Whatever imagination others lack, you more than easily make up for. Make the most of the moment and the people you are with. Tonight: So what if tomorrow is Monday?

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

Actor Stephen Furst is 57.

Country musician Del Gray is 43. Rock singer Darren Hayes is 39. Singer Enrique Iglesias is 36.

luck would have it (and, believe me, my luck has never had it like this), I won a five-day Mediterranean cruise in a Facebook contest sponsored by Food and Wine magazine.

It was a writing contest, of sorts — a “tell us why you deserve the prize” kind of thing.

In my entry, I likened myself to a bottle of champagne (“effervescent, but not overly sweet”) and my husband to a glass of chardonnay: “A carpenter by trade, he’s so oaky, he smells like the plywood aisle at Home Depot.”

Oceania’s Marina would take us from Monte Carlo to Rome, stopping in glamorous ports and beautiful vineyards on the Italian Riviera along the way. Having never been to Europe, Mr. Oaky

and I decided to extend our trip in Italy, to take full advantage of the opportunity.

“You’ve GOT to get hip to Rick Steves,” my well-traveled friends advised. “He’s the god of European travel. His guidebooks are the best!”

For eight weeks, it was “Rick

Steves this” and “Rick Steves that.” We bought Rick Steves’ books, printed articles from RickSteves.com and devoured Rick Steves reruns on PBS. I adhered faithfully to the Rick Steves packing list for women, cramming two weeks of clothing, shoes and accessories into one regulation carry-on bag.

Even the Oaken One hopped onboard, obsessively studying Rick Steves’ train schedules, routes and fares. When we left for the airport two Tuesdays ago, he wore a Rick Steves money belt and carried a Rick Steves travel pillow in his backpack.

On the long trans-Atlantic flight, I pored over Rick Steves’ “Italy,” boning up for our two days in Rome, trying to schedule as many must-sees as humanly possible.

Things didn’t go exactly as planned in the Eternal City, but on Wednesday morning, as luck would have it, we found ourselves drifting in a sea of humanity into St. Peter’s Square, unaware the weekly papal blessing was just minutes away. (Guess I didn’t read that chapter.) There he was — the pope! At a hundred yards’ distance, he appeared an inch tall, but I bowed my head and made the sign of the cross, my eyes welling with tears.

I recovered over a lunch of pizza and wine (because, when in Rome…) and thought the trip couldn’t get any better.

on her mother and boyfriend to watch Elijah while she plays. “He was literally sleeping throughout the entire thing, and I think it was because being in the womb, that music actually helped him sleep. I know that our festivals, he’s going to be pretty easy to take care of.”

“

His being born and being a mom, it really just added to that element so much and just formed it and enriched it in a way that I actually didn’t expect.”

of people and just totally be herself,” Adrian Hunt says.

“It was really neat. She’s made a lot of people happy through her music and her performances and everything, and so that was always really good to see.”

Kelley Hunt says that her personal philosophy was not to make her profession central to Adrian’s life, and only when he became a teen did he really know what exactly she did for a living.

“When he was little, I just made sure that I was there when he went to school in the morning, and I was there when he got home. And I did everything I could to make his life all about him and not all about me,” says Hunt, who did a lot of her non-performance work while he was in school. “I tried to expose him all the best part of what that is, and I’m just grateful that I have him.”

Truckstop Honeymoon’s Katie Euliss isn’t exactly sure what her four kids are going to choose for their lives, but as they tour Europe with her this month, she says she hopes they understand why she does what she does, even if they end up going in a totally different direction.

“Raising them in the artistic community that we move about in globally has certainly opened their eyes to a greater reality,” Euliss says.

“I’m trying to save them from having to get day jobs as adults. I keep telling them music is their ticket and to keep playing. Our experience might make them crave that sort of lifestyle. Whatever makes them happy is ultimately what we want them to discover.”

Rock ‘n’ roll calendar For the rock mom, many times the biggest difficulty isn’t going from rocker to “Mommy” in the blink of an eye, it’s the scheduling. Lining up a sitter on a performance night or planning a band practice when every member can attend can get a little bit hairy. For the moms in MAW, things can get especially strange with a regular event like practice because not only do the moms have to think of the kids and the other band members, but they also have to think of their husbands, who play in The Midday Ramblers together.

“We work around school, we work around work, and we work around band schedules. School, work and band,” says Katie Conrad, who along with Julie Schwarting make up the other moms of MAW with Wells. “There’s kind of an understanding in the band that you’re working around family and with family. That becomes part of the conversation.

“The convenient thing about having all of the spouses in the same band is that moms baby-sit when the dads are playing in the band, and the moms are baby-sitting when the dads are playing in the band.”

Two years ago on Mother’s Day weekend, those dads gave the moms of MAW one heck of a present — an entire weekend for the women to record their stu-

Kids who rock What’s it like to be the child of one of these rock moms? Adrian Hunt is now 26 and though not a professional musician, he is musical and says that having a professional musician for a mother was inspiring.

“It was unique, definitely.

It inspires a lot of confidence. I mean, she can get up in front of a huge crowd

“That guy looks a lot like Rick Steves,” he said.

“Yeah, right, Oaky McBlokey,” I replied from the bed, my swollen feet propped on a pillow, a glass of wine in my hand (because, well, you know …).

Minutes passed. Then, “It IS Rick Steves!”

I hobbled to the window, looked down and saw a familiar figure, sweater tied casually around his neck, posing for a photo with two giddy middle-aged blondes.

Later that night, as luck would have it, Rick Steves sauntered into our restaurant. There he was, up close

and personal, and big as life — his 2010 Cinque Terre guidebook in his hand!

The 50-something Americans two tables over gasped audibly.

“First the pope, then Rick Steves?!” I bowed my head and made the sign of the cross, tears welling in my eyes.

He questioned the proprietor for a bit, making notes in the book. At the first opening, I popped out of my chair, camera in hand, and approached the god of European travel: “Rick Steves? Cathy Hamilton. Lawrence, Kansas,” I said, proffering my hand. “We took your advice, packed light and didn’t buy the Eurail pass. Oaky here has been wearing your money belt for seven days straight.

— Lawrence singer-songwriter Kelley Hunt dio album, “Advice for the Young and Foolish.” Though MAW isn’t a full-time job, Schwarting says she thinks everyone in the family benefits from the moms’ jam time.

“In the long run, I don’t think it’s a bad thing,” say Schwarting, who has two children, ages 8 and 9. “My parents were involved in other things besides us, and in the long run, I think that it’s important to see that they see you have outside interests.”

Meanwhile, Lawrence singer Kelley Hunt says that it’s also important for musicians to have outside interests. She says that when she had her son, Adrian, she became a better singer and songwriter.

“His being born and being a mom, it really just added to that element so much and just formed it and enriched it in a way that I actually didn’t expect. Because I think it made me a better writer and continues to do so,” Hunt says. “For people in general, no matter what your profession is, it’s been my experience that it just helps you have a better, more wide-ranging experience in the world. It’s like you’re a more balanced person in a way because it’s not all about you. And that’s perfect. That’s as it should be.”

year? It’s kind of hot over here. Just saying.”

He was gracious and funny, and he solicited our opinions of the food and our accommodations. He posed for a photo, signed an autograph, and then he was gone.

We would see him twice more during our stay. By the third time, Rick Steves sightings had become old hat.

On our last night, we savored seafood and wine (because ... oh, never mind) on a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. “What do you think the odds are of the pope walking in right now?” I said, tipsily.

“Don’t press your luck,” Oaky Dokey replied with a grin.

WHAT ARE YOU

READING

By Joe Preiner Read more responses and add your thoughts at www.ljworld.com

Elisha Benton, customer service worker, Lawrence “The Bible. It has some good life lessons.”

Tom Guilfoyle, geologist, Lawrence “Rudyard Kipling’s ‘The Jungle Book.’ It’s about exotic culture and an exotic story, but it’s human.”

Carol Ralph, nursing student, McLouth “’I’m Sorry ... My Bad’ by Bradley Trevor Greive. It just has animals on each page saying sorry. It’s just funny.”

Allison Rood, fifth-grader, Lawrence “’Percy Jackson: The Lost Hero’ by Rick Riordan. It’s one in a series. The main character, Jason, has friends who are memories programmed in his head. It’s about him finding himself.”

Graphic luminaries Clowes, Katchor both have new, and vastly different, works

By Dan DeLuca The Philadelphia Inquirer

The case for comics as a not-just-for-kids-anymore art form has long since been closed, with incontrovertible arguments along the way by many luminaries, from “Maus” mastermind Art Spiegelman to “Watchmen” creator Alan Moore to “Persepolis” author Marjane Satrapi.

And any short list of sequential artists most responsible for maintaining the vitality of the awkwardly designated “graphic novel” medium would have to include Daniel Clowes and Ben Katchor.

Clowes is the creator of the long-running alt-comic book “Eightball,” which gave birth to the teenage-ennui classic “Ghost World,” which earned Clowes an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay when director Terry Zwigoff made it into a movie in 2001.

Katchor is the auteur behind such singularly surreal titles as “Cheap Novelties: The Pleasures of Urban Decay” and “The Jew of New York.” He teamed with rock songwriter Mark Mulcahy on the 2004 musical “The Rosenbach Company,” about Philadelphia bookdealer brothers Abe and Philip Rosenbach. He’s also the first cartoonist to receive a MacArthur “genius” fellowship.

Clowes and Katchor both have new books out. For Katchor, 59, “The Cardboard Valise” is his first in 10 years; for the more prolific Clowes, the graphic novella “Mister Wonderful” is the follow-up to “Wilson,” published in 2010.

The two graphic storytellers take vastly different approaches. Katchor’s magically whimsical vision is sui generis. In “The Cardboard Valise,” he expresses that vision in black-and-white drawings of a fictional

tourist attraction, the Tensint Islands, home of fabled restroom ruins where the inhabitants speak “a bastard jargon of Double Dutch, pidgin English and salesman’s argot.”

By contrast, Clowes takes a far more realistic — though painfully wry and sardonic — tack in “Mister Wonderful,” a surprisingly touching page-turner. His lonely-guy protagonist Marshall at first appears to be a familiar romantically handicapped alt-comic type. He hasn’t had a date in six years and is pretty certain that the dream-girl blind date he’s waiting for in a restaurant as the action begins will never show up.

What the two books have in common, however, is that each was first brought to life the old-fashioned way: as comic strips. Much of the material in ’The Cardboard Valise” was published 10 or more years ago and syndicated in alt-weeklies such as the Village Voice and

Philadelphia’s City Paper.

For the book, Katchor rounded up old strips, wrote new ones, and fleshed out the story, which concerns three main characters.

There’s Emile Delilah, a “xenophiliac” compulsive traveler interested in any culture other than his own; Boreal Rince, the exiled king of Outer Canthus, who radiates heat and light whenever he gets angry (and whose divine origin is proven by “the remarkably low electricity bill he’s sent every month”); and Elijah Salamis, the fast-talking supranationalist who aims to eradicate the boundaries that separate nations and cultures, in contrast to Delilah, who celebrates them.

“Mister Wonderful,” which occurs almost entirely in one night as Marshall’s incipient relationship with Natalie takes a number of unexpected turns, a la Martin Scorsese’s 1985 movie “After Hours,” was also conceived as a (far more linear)

comic strip.

Most of the story originated in the New York Times Sunday Magazine, in serialized form. For the full-color rectangular hardcover, Clowes, like Katchor, added fresh material and tinkered slightly with the old.

The comic-strip genesis pays off for both books — in different ways. For me, anyway, “Mister Wonderful” didn’t really work serialized in the Times in 2008 over an 18-week period. Clowes’ dark wit was apparent in his cleanly drawn, uncluttered panels filled with uncomfortable silences and notalways-suppressed selfloathing.

“Mister Wonderful” includes many tour de force touches. Clowes shifts drawing styles in fantasy or memory sequences, and uses different color thought balloons to partially obscure speech balloons that capture how private thoughts butt into our conversations.

“Jesus, why am I self-deprecating even in my own interior monologue?” Marshall asks himself at one point.

But for all that, keeping up with “Mister Wonderful” over four months of Sundays was too trying. I wasn’t gripped enough by it to keep track week to week.

Like a complete season of “The Wire” or “Mad Men” on DVD, the bound “Mister Wonderful” gives you the benefit of having the entire heartwarming story in one place.

It’s nice to hold the entirety of “The Cardboard Valise” between two covers, too.

But not for narrative momentum.

There is a story at work, coursing through Katchor’s wonderful, fragile drawings, populated by affably talkative oddballs intent on cataloging every microscopic detail of their not-idiosyncratic-to-them existences.

However, “The Cardboard Valise” — named after the 56-inch Fitzall “Ahasuerus” suitcase, big enough to accommodate the traveler who doesn’t want to leave anything behind — is the opposite of a page-turner.

Instead, it’s a collection of richly imagined, lovingly detailed individual strips.

Each is best lingered over one at a time, an invitingly exotic world unto itself.

‘A Jane Austen Education’ full of wit, insights

By Michelle Wiener For The Associated Press

Dan Rood, business owner, Lawrence “’Super Rich: A Guide to Having It All’ by Russell Simmons. It’s all about Eastern philosophy, religion and enlightenment. It’s about how to live your life.”

3C

There’s nothing quite like meeting another admirer of your favorite author, finding in that person a similar vigor for the close reading of that author’s works, and sharing the memories you have of what it was like when you first encountered them.

Such is the experience for me of reading William Deresiewicz’s “A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter.” I finished the book with two strong impulses: One, to immediately reread everything Jane Austen wrote, with Deresiewicz’s book at my side, and two, to invite Deresiewicz — a former Yale University English professor and now a professional literary critic — over for more Austen talk.

Each chapter of his book takes on one of Austen’s novels and situates them contextually within various stages of his progression toward adulthood, inter-

twining his story with hers. He writes with wit, charm and candor, and the result is simply delightful.

It starts with Deresiewicz as a 26-yearold self-styled arrogant rebel walking around “in a cloud of angry sarcasm.” And then he’s forced to read “Emma” for a graduate school seminar and — I say this without a trace of hyperbole — his entire view of the world starts to change. Suddenly a book that doesn’t appear to be about anything important turns into a book about the only things in life that do matter: the small, everyday occurrences that shape us.

Likewise, “Pride and Prejudice” becomes a story about growing up and learning the necessity of tempering our feelings with reason, and of learning from our mistakes. The wealthy, breezy Crawfords of “Mansfield Park” are likened to Manhattan’s social elite whom Deresiewicz found himself amid,

with both groups ultimately displaying a cripplingly narrow mindset fueled by an utter lack of curiosity.

“Persuasion” is a story foremost about friendship, which Deresiewicz relates to the modern difficulty of forging friendships in adulthood, once everyone’s out of school and starting to couple off. The point made each time is nothing new, certainly not to Austen devotees, though it always bears repeating: Her work remains ever relevant, to everyone.

Deresiewicz also offers a refreshingly clear cultural and historical reading of each novel, and the combination of the scholarly and the personal provides entirely new ways of looking at novels that I thought I already thoroughly knew. This is how “literary memoir” should be defined — not as a fake autobiography, but as a personal account of reading books that matter.

Poet’s Showcase ‘The Unseen Universe’ I didn’t know the extent of our universe until I placed a drop of water on a slide and stared at civilizations through a microscope.

I didn’t know the extent of our universe until a chemist told me about molecules made up of atoms with each atom a solar system unto itself.

I didn’t know the extent of our universe until I stood on a sand beach wondering ... just wondering how many lifetimes it would take to count each grain.

BRIEFLY IN BOOKS ’Godfather’ prequel being written NEW YORK — The world has not seen the last of the Corleones.

“The Family Corleone,” an authorized prequel to the late Mario Puzo’s classic “The Godfather,” is scheduled for release in 2012. Grand Central Publishing announced Wednesday that the novel

would be written by Ed Falco, an award-winning author and poet. The book will be set in New York in the 1930s and is based on an unproduced screenplay by Puzo.

Puzo’s novel has sold more than 20 million copies and was the basis for the Oscarwinning movie of the same name. Puzo died in 1999. In recent years, two sequels have been released: “The Godfather

Returns” and “The Godfather’s Revenge,” both by Mark Winegardner.

New works on bin Laden coming NEW YORK — New books on Osama bin Laden and the Navy SEAL unit that killed him are coming soon.

The Free Press says it’s planning an e-book “as fast as possible” based on material from Peter Bergen’s “The Longest War: The Enduring Conflict between America and Al-Qaeda.”

Bin Laden was killed by a

unit called Navy SEAL Team Six, ending a nearly 10-year hunt for the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

St. Martin’s Press is moving up publication of “SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper,” by Howard E. Wasdin and Stephen Templin.

The book was scheduled to come out May 24 but likely will be released within a week.

Melissa Leo penning memoir NEW YORK — Academy Award-winning actress Melissa Leo has a deal with Simon & Schuster for a “gutsy” book about her life, from her troubled childhood to her “stormy breakup” with actor John Heard. Leo won an Oscar for her performance as the fierce matriarch in “The Fighter.”

Make the most of light in your living space Another trick Gorder uses: “Flank your windows with window treatments that go way beyond the top of the window, all the way up to the ceiling,” she says. That makes the window look larger, making it seem as though the room has more access to sunlight.

It’s a request that designers hear constantly: Bring more sunshine into my home.

Whatever a person’s taste, “I think almost everybody wants to maximize the light in their living space,” says HGTV host Genevieve Gorder.

Natural light can bring out the beauty of fabrics and furniture, and it seems to have an intangible impact.

The conventional wisdom is that “if you have a room that’s very sunny and packed with natural light, people use it more, and they’re happier in it,” says designer and decordemon.com founder Brian Patrick Flynn.

It can be challenging to increase the daylight in rooms with small windows.

But with the right mix of paint colors, fabrics, furniture and mirrors, homeowners can maximize the sunlight in even the darkest rooms.

Gorder, Flynn and Betsy Burnham of Los Angeles’ Burnham Design share some tips and tricks for helping the sun to shine brightly in any home:

Reflections All three designers recommend mirrors. “It makes a space feel bigger,” Flynn says, “and if the space has a view and you put a mirror on the wall opposite the window with that beautiful view, you’ve doubled the light, doubled the view.”

The idea of mirrors can make clients nervous.

“People can think it sounds a little ’70s or dated, but not if it’s an antiqued mirror and if it’s just a small part of your room,” Burnham says.

If you’d prefer a mirror that isn’t antique, Burnham suggests having a large one expertly framed. It can be hung on a wall or, if it’s quite tall, propped up against a wall and anchored at the top.

Smaller mirrors can be used anywhere. Line the backs of bookshelves with mirrors or arrange several on one wall.

“Ikea has bunches of mirrors, 8 inches by 8, that come in packs of 10 with stickies on the back,” Flynn says. “If you stick them on your wall, left to right in a diamond pattern, it’s so beautiful and really affordable. You can go across an entire wall.”

Also consider furniture with glass, chrome or mirrored accents.

Cool colors Many people try to maxi-

Flynn often uses all-white color schemes in rooms with ample natural light, then adds contrast with one bold accent color. mize light by painting a room in a pale color. But the choice of shade is important. Yellow-based shades, even if fairly pale, can warm up a space.

“I see newly built homes where the developer has chosen a yellow throughout and it’s such a mistake. Somehow it closes it in or warms it up too much,” Burnham says.

“You want cool tones,” she says, like “blue-grays and taupes that are shades of offwhite with a little blue in them. It can really chill things out.”

Metallic paint colors also work well. Gorder likes to use paint with a reflective, metallic finish on ceilings, especially in dining rooms.

S h e p re fe rs s h a d e s t h a t look like brass or pewter.

It’s a trick many hotels use, she says, to softly amplify light.

Minimizing dark pieces “Instead of big, dark wood pieces of furniture,” Burnham says, “try something lighter and airier, like a glasstopped piece with a metal base.” That allows you to see the floor, drawing attention to a light-colored rug or pale wood flooring.

In decorating a wood-pan-

eled living room in a Tudor house, Burnham “kept all of the antique pieces and old sofas, but we recovered everything in different fabrics that were all white to offwhite. It completely changed the room,” she says. “It was friendlier, modern and lighter.”

Gorder recommends doing the biggest pieces in a room, such as sofas and love seats, in light colors. Then she advises bringing in brighter or deeper shades for smaller pieces of furniture.

Windows and skylights Some window treatments, such as Roman shades, block sunlight even when they’re technically open.

Burnham suggests using “really tailored, simple draperies on rings on an iron rod, and maybe have a wand to push them back.”

Draperies hung that way are easy to open fully, so “you can clear the windows during the day, and it can still be private at night.”

Even sheer curtains hung behind draperies can limit sunlight. So try hanging a single drapery, rather than a double set.

Also consider adding a skylight or two. “Don’t think it’s not appropriate just because you don’t have a super-modern house,” Burnham says. “I worked on a 1920s house in L.A., and put in a skylight in keeping with the period and the other windows in the house.”

“It doesn’t cost anything,” she points out, “to have an expert come and give you an estimate” on adding skylights.

If all else fails, Flynn says, you can embrace a lack of light. Choose a dark paint for the walls and dark furnishings, he says, and then accessorize with lamps, ceiling fixtures and “tons of metallic pieces that will bounce all of the artificial light around the room.”

Using illusion Some design choices don’t increase the actual light in a room, but they make the space feel sunnier.

Cotton and linen fabrics in soft colors evoke cool summer breezes and sunny days at the beach, while “heavier fabrics, like velvets or brocades or even chenilles, sort of weigh a room down,” Burnham says.

Gorder agrees: Using sheer and cottony fabrics in pale shades, such as “light smoky purples that are barely there,” she says, “lightens and brings a sense of joy, and with that emotion comes a sense of lightness.”

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Porcelain once more precious than gold

By Terry Kovel

JESSI ASMUSSEN and Kevin Prather work one of several garden sites they have around town as to operate Mellowfields Urban Farm. They hope to eventually purchase their own land.

The future of farming: Maximizing production space M

aybe you have already seen the statistics on farming. You know, the ones that show we have a declining number of farmers across the nation, and they are getting older on average.

There are many speculations on why these changes are occurring, but a few reasons seem obvious. Land and equipment are expensive, and many young people lack the capital to just go out and start farming.

There are different kinds of farming, though, and more aspiring farmers are starting out with horticultural crops and finding unique solutions to the challenges of start-up.

Mellowfields Urban Farm is just one local farm that is starting out small and overcoming those challenges. Mellowfields is owned and operated by Lawrence couple Kevin Prather and Jessi Asmussen.

“If you can do a little more intensive growing and expand your season, you can do this,” Prather says. “There just aren’t any good models for it here.”

Neither Prather or Asmussen grew up on a farm but would love to farm full-time. They have already expanded from a big backyard garden at their east Lawrence home to farming on three small pieces of leased property. The next step, they hope, will be to purchase their own land.

Asmussen says she and Prather had their first garden right out of college.

“I read a book about organic gardening and followed it stepby-step. That was our in — we got hooked.”

They continued to garden and after moving to Lawrence decid-

Prather went to Wakarusa Valley Farm south of Clinton Lake, and Asmussen worked on Sandheron Farm in southern Jefferson County. The following year, Asmussen completed an apprenticeship at Sandheron Farm through the Growing Growers program.

Growing Growers offers onfarm apprenticeships in addition to monthly educational programs.

Besides working on farms and starting up Mellowfields, Prather teaches full-time, and Asmussen was in social work.

Mellowfields has expanded enough for Asmussen to manage it full-time now.

Prather and Asmussen did have some hesitation before starting Mellowfields.

“I was at Sandheron in a really bad year,” Asmussen admits. “I think it was 2007 — it was really dry that summer, and it was tough getting a crop out. The pressures were really apparent.”

They went ahead and started a CSA (subscription service) for their vegetables in 2009. At first they were selling only to a handful of friends. Now they have more than 20 subscribers to the CSA and are marketing the rest of their produce at the Cottin’s Hardware, 1832 Mass., and Downtown Lawrence farmers’ markets.

“You can get started in little plots like this,” says Prather, “but if you want to make money at it, you have to have more scale.”

Until they can find land that will allow them to scale up, though, Mellowfields will be as efficient as possible with their leased land.

“There’s more to it than making money,” Asmussen says. “We get exercise, of course, but this has also become a huge part of our social life. And there’s a huge value to being able to feed ourselves.”

On the social aspect, Prather and Asmussen agree that the farming community has been a

key to their success.

“You have to build relationships and friendships if you are going to be successful at this,” Asmussen advises.

Besides community, Prather and Asmussen say efficient use of their limited space and time is crucial. This is even more important since their leased properties are several miles apart. Here are their tips for efficiency: ● Use of raised beds: Soil warms faster for better earlyseason growth. ● Soil health and fertility: Regular amendments of compost and use of cover crops allow for many succession plantings in a single season without using a tractor. ● Intensive cropping: More plants in less space ● Starting most plants in seed trays to shorten time to maturity makes better use of bed space ● Use of season extenders: row cover and hand-built hoophouse ● Variety selection: use of space-savers like pole beans ● Detailed crop rotation plan: helps control pest, disease and fertility problems and reduces wasted space. (They also note that this helps maintain sanity, especially when switching between different plots.)

For those who want to see it firsthand, Mellowfields Urban Farm will be a stop on the Lawrence Food Garden Tour June 11.

Gold is selling for very high prices today, but porcelain was more precious than gold in 17th-century Europe.

Thin white porcelain was first made in China in the 10th century, but it wasn’t seen in Europe until 1260, when some pieces were brought back by Marco Polo.

It was treasured as a rarity and valued like gold, but Europeans couldn’t figure out how it was made. In 1700 Augustus the Strong, the Elector of Saxony (Germany), heard that Johann Bottger, an 18-year-old German, was trying to make gold from base metals. Augustus kept Bottger a prisoner in Dresden to make gold. At the same time, another scientist with the long name Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus was working to discover the secret of the other treasure, porcelain. Tschirnhaus and Bottger were told to work together, and porcelain was finally created in 1713. Augustus was pleased and built a royal porcelain factory in the city of Meissen. But the secret of porcelain was out, and it soon was made in many countries. For centuries, Bottger was credited with the discovery of porcelain, but now research suggests it was really Tschirnhaus. Many types of ceramics — majolica, stoneware, bone china, ironstone and pottery — were soon being used in households for tasks like cooking and storing. Decorations included ceramic figurines and tiles. It is not surprising that artists sometimes pay homage to ceramics in the designs they create on ceramics. Well-known designs include a famous Chinese pattern picturing urns and vases, a Japanese Satsuma lidded jar picturing Asian ceramics from many different centuries, and English and American dinnerware sets decorated with examples of 1950s dishes.

Q:

A few years ago, I bought a 27-inch round mahogany side table at a local antiques shop. It stands on four square tapered legs and has a fluted set of four drawers all around it. Only one of the drawers is real. The other three are false drawers. There’s a metal label inside the real drawer that reads “Kittinger Authentic Handmade.” Please tell me its history and value.

A:

Kittinger Furniture Co. has been in business in Buffalo, N.Y., since 1866. It has a reputation for making high-quality furniture in traditional styles. If you bought your table “a few years ago,” it’s worth about 20 percent less than what you paid then. Prices for many vintage furniture pieces have not gone up in the last few years. We have seen tables like yours selling for $200 to $500. Older pieces in excellent condition sell for a little less.

Tip: Never store photographs with rubber bands or paper clips. Store photos in acid-free boxes or envelopes, available at specialty stores and through mail-order catalogs.
