Regents: State an unequal funding partner

Rodeo school offers opportunity

TOPEKA — In the world of Kansas higher education funding, something is not connecting.

And the Kansas Board of Regents, which last week approved a $26 million tuition increase at the six public universities, says it hopes to f ix that problem.

During a preliminary discussion on the BOARD OF regents’ next REGENTS budget submission, Chairman Ed McKechnie of Arcadia put a positive spin on how higher education fared in the recently concluded legislative session that started with the state facing a $500 million revenue shortfall.

R O S E H I L L — Visitors to Bud Sankey’s ranch, tucked away in the small Kansas town of Rose Hill, are greeted by a bizarre mixture of warnings and welcomes.

“Is there life after death? Trespass here and find out,” reads one sign.

Oh, but they’re happy you

stopped by, and promise you the best deal in five states on Western wear and tack.

Make it past the gift shop, and a herd of bulls awaits.

Just how dangerous the bulls are is a point Bud’s son, Lyle Sankey, can’t make clear enough.

“He’ll break your legs, blow your knees out, break your ankles,” Lyle tells a group of 16 men.

“I’m a careful man,” he says.

“That’s why I force myself to do things like this.”

When he says “things like this,” Defreese is talking about the times he bungee-jumped or skydived or white-water rafted.

For Defreese and several of the other bull riders at the camp, the weekend is simply an “adventure experience.”

“They can check it off their bucket list,” says Chaz Fish, 29, one of the Sankey Rodeo School

This summer, Mikhail Marchenko is tracking ways that regional hospitals can green up their supply chain.

It’s a task that has him researching the containers used to dispose of sharp objects, energy efficient lighting and the massive amounts of packaging that comes with the medical supplies.

It’s an internship that the Kansas University senior and environmental studies major said he is lucky to have.

“This is a very good opportunity for me to learn and actually see how everything works,” Marchenko said.

“In class we study the environmental impacts ... and read books. But when it comes down to it, personal experience is more beneficial.”

KU Rock Chalk Scholarship OK’d TOPEKA — In approving a tuition increase at Kansas University, state officials also approved a new scholarship program designed to attract highability students from outof-state.

The Rock Chalk Scholarship will be available to outof-state freshmen who score a minimum of 28 on the ACT and have a 3.5 high school grade point average.

KU would grant a partial tuition waiver in which the student would pay less than a typical non-Kansas resident but still more than the tuition rate for a Kansas resident, and more than the actual cost of an education.

The student also would have to maintain a minimum of a 3.4 grade point average at KU to remain eligible for the four-year program.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said many states are establishing similar programs.

“There is increasing competition for students and this will help” in recruiting out-of-state students, she said.

Community College and St. Edward’s University in Austin. Most recently, she was the associate professor of English and creative writing at Pittsburg State University. She was also a published author of two books, “World of Pies” (2000) and “Fanny & Sue” (2003). She was an active member of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Pittsburg.

She was married to Gary Spence. They later divorced.

She is survived by her parents, Lawrence; a son, Danny Spence, Austin; two sisters, Maggie Cloud, Santa Fe, N.M., and Katie Kutilek, Lawrence; a brother, Bruce Scoular, Lawrence; and many friends and colleagues.

er cut after two years of large cuts.

“A lot of folks wish they were in the position post-secondary education was in,” McKechnie said.

But Regent Christine Downey-Schmidt of Inman, who served as regent chair when higher education received annual increases in state funding, wasn’t celebrating. “Isn’t it amazing what we have settled for?” she said.

She said higher education feels like Oliver Twist, asking the Legislature for another bowl of gruel and getting refused.

Downey-Schmidt said the regents have lost their partnership with the Legislature in properly funding higher education.

Twenty-f ive years ago, state funding made up 50 percent of state university budgets; now it’s 25 percent, according to regents’ figures.

That shift has put more pressure on students and their families to bear a greater financial burden.

And Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget director Steve Anderson has given the regents a budget projection that shows higher education’s state allotment gaining only slightly over the next five years.

Kohring will discuss her current project, an $18 million green infrastructure initiative that partners with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District to reduce flooding through land conservation and restoration.

The event, which is sponsored by the Mid-American Regional Council, will be from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the central branch of the Kansas City Public Library, 14 W. 10th St., Kansas City, Mo.

League of Women Voters hosting forum Lawrence-Douglas County League of Women Voters will kick off a membership drive with a public forum Saturday.

The group plans to discuss the role of the federal government in public education, campaign finance, Kansas tax policies, redistricting based on 2010 Census data and the recent Kansas law on registering new voters that requires a photo ID to vote.

“We believe in participating in public policy decisions, but first you have to know and understand the issues,” said Carrie Lindsey, the chapter’s membership chair.

Men and women are invited to the forum from 10 a.m. to noon at Lawrence Fire Station No. 5 on the southeast corner of 19th and Iowa streets.

Residents recount 1981 tornado

1 | CHICAGO

United recovering from computer outage A five-hour computer outage that virtually shut down United Airlines Friday night and early Saturday is a stark reminder of how dependent airlines have become on technology.

Passengers saw their flight information vanish from airport screens, and thousands were stranded as United canceled 36 flights and delayed 100 worldwide.

The airline still had no explanation Saturday afternoon for the outage. But things could have been much worse.

A blizzard in the Northeast wiped out more than 10,000 flights over three days in December, a midJanuary storm led airlines to cancel nearly 9,000 flights.

Friday’s shutdown occurred late enough in the day that many of the canceled flights were the last planes out for the day, said Henry Harteveldt, an airline analyst with Forrester Research. On a Monday morning, the results could have been catastrophic.

30th anniversary weighs heavily on survivors’ minds during 2011 storms

President Hamid Karzai acknowledged Saturday that the U.S. and Afghan governments have held talks with Taliban emissaries in a bid to end the nation’s nearly 10-year war, even as suicide attackers launched a bold assault in the heart of the county’s capital, killing nine people.

The attack, which occurred just blocks from Karzai’s office, shows the parties have a long way to go to reach a political settlement as the Obama administration weighs a major withdrawal of its forces. The White House neither directly confirmed or denied Karzai’s statement.

Three men wearing camouflage fatigues that are frequently worn by Afghan soldiers stormed a police station near the presidential palace, with one of them detonating an explosives vest just outside the gates as two others rushed inside and began firing, an Interior Ministry statement said.

The crackle of gunfire echoed through the usually bustling streets for about two hours before security forces killed the two remaining attackers. Insurgents killed three police officers, one intelligence agent and five civilians in the attack, according to the ministry statement.

3 | TURKEY

Syrian refugee crisis mushrooms Syrian troops backed by tanks and firing heavy machine guns swept into a village near the Turkish border Saturday, forcing more people displaced by the crackdown on anti-government protesters to flee across the frontier.

The Local Coordination Committees, a group that documents protests, said troops backed by six tanks and several armored personnel carriers entered Bdama in the morning. The village, about 12 miles from the Turkish border, had a bakery that was the sole source of bread for nearly 2,000 displaced people crowded near the border who had hoped not to have to flee to the Turkish tent-city sanctuary. The town was also supplying medicine and other foodstuffs to them.

Without that critical lifeline, some women and children were already crossing into Turkey Saturday afternoon.

4 | LIBYA

NATO: Airstrike mistakenly hit rebels NATO said Saturday it mistakenly struck a column of Libyan rebel vehicles in an airstrike near an eastern oil town two days earlier and expressed regret for any casualties that might have resulted.

The alliance has accidentally hit rebel forces before in its air campaign to protect civilians in the civil war between Moammar Gadhafi’s military and the fighters trying to end his more than four decades in power.

The rebels have also complained that NATO’s strikes have not helped them gain decisive momentum against the Libyan leader’s better trained and equipped military, which still has firm control over most of western Libya. The rebels control much of the east.

The alliance statement gave no figures on casualties from Thursday’s airstrike, but said it regretted “any possible loss of life or injuries caused by this unfortunate incident.”

Regional EPA leader eager to tackle state challenges

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

Karl Brooks, regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, acknowledged that his job is getting harder.

Eighteen months into his career at the regulatory agency, Brooks said he is eager to take on the global environmental challenges the country faces.

“It’s scary, but, frankly, it’s really exciting,” he said. “It’s a ride into a future that none of us were really anticipating and all of us are responsible for creating.”

Brooks, an environmental studies associate professor at Kansas University prior to joining the EPA, is responsible for EPA region 7, which includes the Missouri-Mississippi basin, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebras-

ka and nine tribal nations.

He spoke at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt., on Saturday and answered questions from the audience. State Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, and Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Thellman both attended.

Brooks said he wants to continue reducing water and air pollution and build a healthy rela-

tionship with the state’s large agriculture industry. He said one of the biggest challenges the agency faces is decreased funding.

“Clearly, state agencies have to do a lot of work with less funds than they had a year ago,” Brooks said.

6th Fort Riley soldier dies from June 6 attack TOPEKA — A sixth Fort Riley soldier has died as a result of a June 6 incident in Iraq, making it the single deadliest attack on a unit from the post since the war started more than eight years ago.

The Department of Defense said Saturday that Spc. Marcos A. Cintron, 32, of Orlando, Fla., died Thursday in a hospital in Boston where the 1st Infantry Division soldier was being treated for his wounds.

The deaths from June 6 surpass those in a 2004 attack to become the highest single-day casualties for Fort Riley soldiers since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began. Five soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 1st Engineer Battalion were killed on March 31, 2004, in Iraq.

Cintron and the five other soldiers were attacked June 6 by insurgents using indirect

Hunting camp owner, guide face sentencing WICHITA — Two Texas brothers face sentencing next week on conspiracy and wildlife trafficking charges for offering guided hunts at a Kansas hunting club to hunters who paid thousands of dollars to illegally kill deer.

James Butler Jr., the owner and operator of Camp Lone Star in Coldwater, Kan., will learn his punishment Tuesday.

His brother, Marlin Butler, who worked as a guide, faces sentencing Friday.

Both men have pleaded guilty to violating the Lacey Act, a federal law that prohibits the interstate transport of any wildlife taken in violation of state regulations.

this year, including in Joplin, Mo. Earlier this year was also the 100th anniversary of the April 12, 1911, Lawrence tornado that moved through Lawrence in the evening hours from the southwest and struck downtown, killing two people.

Those involved in the 1981 tornado that killed 30-yearold Stan Pittman, a Kansas University computer assistant, said the impact of that storm created more caution and awareness in how Douglas County officials and residents prepare for severe weather.

Bob Newton Newton, who has been active with the county’s emergency preparedness and emergency management agency for many years, looked at the sky that evening from his neighborhood in the 2700 block of Lawrence Avenue.

“We were not under a watch, no warning. It just didn’t look good,” said Newton, who was the KLWN radio operations manager at the time and would often go on the air during severe weather.

He dropped off his wife, Pat, at a neighborhood potluck dinner, and their children were home with a baby sitter. Newton was driving around looking at the ominous clouds when suddenly something happened near Kasold Drive and what is now Bob Billings Parkway.

“It just opened up, and there were chunks of ice falling out from the sky. The sky was green, and it was hailing like crazy,” he said.

He pulled under a bank drive-through lane for cover.

An unmarked police car was already there. Then Newton started broadcasting on the air from his two-way radio reporting what he was seeing with the storm. Then suddenly he realized he wasn’t on the air anymore.

The police car zoomed away suddenly, and Newton heard the warning sirens sound. But the tornado had already carved a path through Lawrence basically from where Bishop Seabury Academy is today to the southeast across Kasold Drive through his neighborhood, and then damaging the former Kmart store on Iowa Street.

The twister also struck the Gaslight Village Mobile Home Park east of 31st and Iowa streets. And it had knocked debris onto the KLWN radio station, which at the time was also on Iowa Street.

Newton headed home to make sure his children were OK. They had gone into the basement and were not injured, but their house, which they had lived in for only three months at the time, sustained damage. The Newtons still live there today.

After lots of cleanup in following days, Newton said it was evident Lawrence residents had no warning. That was before the National Weather Service had begun frequently using Doppler radar.

“Even though there’s been advancements in technology, they still have to start somewhere, so that’s still a risk,” Newton said.

Typically most severe storms that hit the Lawrence area develop farther west across the state and are tracked for hours, but that day the development was sudden. Newton said emergency management officials have worked on policy changes since 1981, and people seemed to be more aware and cautious of severe weather after that day.

The 2003 tornado that struck the Aberdeen Apartments in southwestern Lawrence was tracked for nearly a half hour, he said.

“No one can be complacent and think it won’t happen here,” he said, “because it has.”

Diana Bretthauer and Rachelle Ziesenis Bretthauer and Ziesenis, who are neighbors south of Eudora, both happened to be in the Kmart store that evening.

Ziesenis said it was sunny outside but very humid when she left her car in the parking

“

I think it has had a long-standing ripple effect, and I think it probably directly helped us prepare for the (2006) microburst. That probably has helped us be more prepared today.”

— Paul Taylor, a retired paramedic for the Douglas County Ambulance Service, on the death of Stan Pittman who died in the 1981 tornado lot with her mother, Rose Steffey, and niece, Jaime Ziesenis, who was 3. About five to 10 minutes later as Rachelle Ziesenis was trying on clothes in a fitting room, the electricity went out.

Ziesenis walked out and saw people running to the back of the store in a panic.

“I literally walked out in the middle of a tornado,” she said.

She ran into her mother and niece in one of the aisles.

They clutched each other mostly so the 3-year-old would not get sucked into the force of the storm, Ziesenis said.

Her mother’s shoes flew off her feet, and Ziesenis had also lost her sandals at some point. Ironically, as they started to crawl to the back of the store when things calmed down, they had to move over a pile of shoes.

Stan Pittman was killed by falling debris in the store, which sustained heavy damage.

Bretthauer and her husband, Ben, and son, Darrin, who was 2, were at the back of the store, and she felt pieces of glass striking her.

She worried they were all going to be injured.

“I looked down and we were not even bleeding. It was insulation,” Bretthauer said.

They were able to go home about 30 minutes later, they said, as emergency workers began sorting through the debris.

About nine months later,

Ziesenis returned to the store and bought a T-shirt that read, “I survived the Kmart Tornado.”

Bretthauer said many people involved in the storm heeded warnings more after that tornado.

“We didn’t go into the basement hardly at all,” she said.

“But we’ve been to the basement quite a few times since then.”

Paul Taylor and Floyd Craig Taylor, who was a paramedic for the Douglas County Ambulance Service, was off duty, but once he heard the sirens, he reported in. Taylor, who is now a retired paramedic and an associate pastor at Mustard Seed Church, was sent to help at Kmart and the mobile home park.

He wasn’t prepared for the eerie sight. Debris was strewn everywhere.

It wasn’t funny then, but as Taylor was searching in the dark for people inside the wreck at Kmart, he scared himself several times because he would notice pieces of mannequins in the debris.

“You had no idea how many people were still in there,” he said.

Pittman died. Several people had gone by personal vehicles to the hospital.

Other than that, Taylor said, a few people were treated at the scene.

Floyd Craig, who has volunteered as a Douglas County storm spotter since 1975, remembers hustling from his North Lawrence home that evening once he heard a roar.

As he drove across Lawrence, hail started falling near 21st and Louisiana streets. He eventually made it into the mobile home park and saw mass destruction.

He and four other spotters started walking through the park and shutting off the utilities to damaged homes to avoid anything catching fire.

Craig had nightmares about the destruction for a good period after.

“It was just something that hits very close to home,” Craig

said. “Lawrence is my home.”

Initially responders feared it could have been much worse, although Pittman’s death gave the 1981 tornado a tragic note, said Taylor, who still serves as a chaplain for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical and other public safety agencies.

“I think it has served to raise awareness about training and financial support,” Taylor said. “I think it has had a long-standing ripple effect, and I think it probably directly helped us prepare for the (2006) microburst. That probably has helped us be more prepared today.”

Pollution CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Marchenko is one of four KU students participating in the Pollution Prevention Institute internship program.

Managed by Kansas State University and funded through Environmental Protection Agency grants, the program has sent 11 college students throughout the state to intern at companies during the summer break. The students, the majority of whom are engineers, are tasked with finding ways to reduce waste, protect the environment and improve corporate sustainability.

Students Any develop a contributions list of recommenda- I have here tions, then have the calculate potential of the cost of those rec- making a big ommenda- impact (for tions and hospitals) the envi- throughout ronmental Kansas and benefits associated Missouri.” with them.

“It’s a — Mikhail win-win.

Marchenko, a The industry gets an Pollution Prevention Institute intern educated intern that is supported by K-State. The intern is able to focus on certain projects over the summer.

And there’s the environmental benefit associated with the project,” the institute’s director, Nancy Larson, said.

And Larson believes the program has made a difference. For proof, she points to the savings potential from recommendations made since the program started in 2006. Here are the calculated savings: ● 244.6 million gallons of water. ● 9,300 tons of solid waste. ● 49. 5 million kilowatt hours of electricity. ● 38,310 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. ● $7.4 million in operating costs.

A study from 2008 showed that companies implemented about 66 percent of the recommendations students made and another 10 percent were going to be completed in the next year.

Companies in the food processing industry and in the health care field have been responsible for many of the changes.

“The last few years, water conservation has very much been an issue. And with water conservation we have associated energy conservation to go with that and we also have greenhouse gas emission reductions,” Larson said.

Marchenko is spending his summer working with Associated Purchasing Services in Overland Park. The company supplies hospitals throughout the region, which means Marchenko’s recommendations could have a ripple effect.

“Any contributions I have here have the potential of making a big impact (for hospitals) throughout Kansas and Missouri,” Marchenko said.

Along with the work that Marchenko is doing, three other KU students are involved in the internship program: ● Paige Brewer, a senior in chemical engineering, is working at the Kansas Army National Guard in Topeka. ● Raoul Sequeira, another senior chemical engineering major, is interning at the Residence Inn by Marriott in Overland Park. Sequeira is helping draft a green lodging certification program. ● Joseph Gerald Lauth, a senior in mechanical engineering, is at Hill’s Pet Nutrition in Topeka. The company, which does research at the facility, is looking for ways to better manage animal waste and food waste.

In some instances, the companies have been so impressed with the interns that they offered them jobs when the program was over.

And in other cases, it has prompted a change in career plans for the students.

“Many of them do tell us this is a great experience, and now they know they don’t necessarily want to design bridges, but would rather work in industrial settings, work with process changes that will reduce waste at the source,” Larson said.

BULL RIDING INSTRUCTOR LYLE SANKEY, TOP RIGHT, and other students at the school watch as a rider hits the dirt during a run on June 11 at Sankey Rodeo School in Rose Hill.

instructors. Fish helps out at the schools — held throughout the country all year — when he isn’t bullfighting at rodeos.

Fish and a crew of instructors spent the first day teaching Defreese and the other riders how to tie their ropes, mount a bull and fall safely off a 1,000-pound angry animal without getting stomped or gored.

Most of the instruction included caveats and stories about times when riders didn’t follow procedure and things didn’t go well.

“You are putting your life on the line,” Fish says.

The danger of his chosen hobby is a point not lost on Defreese.

“I’m not going to come out of this a rodeo king,” he says. “I just want to come out walking.”

Bullfighting The title “bullfighter” is at best misleading, and at worst deceiving.

Bullfighters don’t fight the bulls; in fact, the goal is quite the opposite, says aspiring bullf ighter Jacob Davidson, 18, from Mayetta.

The bullfighters wait in the ring, ready to catch the eye of the bull so the bull rider — recently bucked off — can hustle out of the arena to safety.

“Protect the rider at all cost,” Davidson explains.

Get the bull turning away from the rider. And keep the bull turning. You don’t want to get in a footrace with a bull, Davidson says. It’s a lesson he’ll learn the hard way.

Davidson worked a part-time job for the past two years to save up for the $435 tuition and traveling expenses for his shot at rodeo school.

“Go to school, go to work, go home,” he said of his life the past couple of years. “No partying.”

Students at the school can also learn the specialty of “clowning,” a combination of bullfighting and comedy, but Davidson says he’ll stick simply with bullfighting.

“I’m not funny,” he says dryly.

While the bull riders worked on a mechanical bull, Davidson and 16year-old Zac Miller worked indoors learning the ins and outs of the chaotic moments after a rider is bucked from a bull.

Both Davidson and Miller, who drove down from Estelline, S.D., with his parents, say they hope to eventually be good enough to work the rodeo circuit full-time. Davidson is stocky, maybe a little too stocky for the job that requires agility and stamina. Miller, on the other hand, is tall and lanky. The body armor worn in the ring hangs on Miller’s thin frame.

The two grew up on farms and loved the rodeo from an early age.

Both wanted to be bull riders, but their parents said no.

But Tammy, Miller’s mom, said she just couldn’t keep her son from chasing his cowboy dreams, relenting when he chose the somewhat less glamorous, but probably safer, bullfighting.

“He said, ‘Mom, I want to do this,’” says Tammy, who admits to some recent sleepless nights. Tammy spent the next few days watching bulls chase her son around. “It’s hard on a mom.”

After training all morning with a wheelbarrow-like contraption that’s a very poor substitute for a real bull, the two would get their first chance inside the ring in a few hours.

“I couldn’t sleep last night, ” says a wild-eyed Davidson, who has spent the last few years dreaming of his opportunity. “I’m going to be nervous, but I’m not going to be scared.”

Lyle During the training, Lyle Sankey, holding court temporarily on his father’s ranch, plays the role of teacher, parent and even pastor in the tense moment before the first bull is ridden, and he leads the cowboys in prayer.

One moment he’s berating a rider for not listening, the next waxing philosophical about life.

He’s full of one-liners and war stories, learned and earned in a lifetime of riding bulls. Sankey, 56, participated in his first rodeo in 1969 and has been hosting rodeo schools for more than three decades.

He and his crew of professional riders travel the country, from Idaho to Florida, holding rodeo schools.

There’s no age limit, and riders of any experience can sign up for specialties such as bronc riding or bullfighting.

Old photos scattered throughout the Sankey Ranch show a younger man in perfect riding form at any number of professional rodeo events. Sankey’s website, sankeyrodeo.com, boasts that he’s one of only four men to qualify for “National Finals Rodeo in Bare Back, Saddle Bronc, and Bull Riding.” He’s the real deal, and the riders know it. Many can rattle off Sankey’s well-known rodeo accomplishments.

He’s tough on the riders because he cares, he says quite a few times, followed by something like, “I’m not running a day care.”

Sankey says his no-nonsense approach is a necessity, and certainly not a surprise at a rodeo school.

They are riding bulls, after all, and Sankey’s website clearly states: “Rodeo is NOT T-ball.”

“The price for failure is much greater here,” Sankey says.

The techniques are drilled into riders. Sankey spends a good deal of time explaining that the rules of the rodeo often run counter to logic or instinct. That’s particularly true when it comes to Sankey’s most common pearl of wisdom he gives riders about to take their first turn on a bull.

“Just think about relaxing,” he says.

Showtime The worst part of rodeo school, the anxious bull riders will tell you, is the waiting. After a full day of training, the riders woke on Day Two, ready to get that first bull ride under their belts. But they’d be stuck in a metal gate, waiting. Waiting as Sankey calls a rider up, and meticulously goes through the routine of roping and mounting a bull. The rid-

ers spend a good 20 minutes on top of the caged bull, getting a feel for each other, before the gate is opened.

Twenty minutes is plenty of time for the bull to get irritated, and each time the bull violently thrashes a rider, the waiting riders watch and get quiet.

One by one, the bull riders take their turn, and the mood loosens.

They get used to the thrashings of the bulls. Clanging metal becomes a common sound. And it sort of becomes normal to see the bulls stomp on fallen riders.

In the real rodeo, riders strive for eight seconds. At rodeo school, just getting out of the gate is considered a success.

After each ride, Sankey congratulates the rider, then point-by-point berates him for his mistakes. Mistakes, he reminds each of them, that could get them seriously hurt.

Defreese, around midmorning, gets his call. He puts his helmet on and goes through the routine with Sankey.

Defreese’s bull doesn’t make it far out of the gate; just sort of shoots out and curls back.

Defreese is off after the first buck or two. No one’s timing him, but three seconds, maybe.

As he stumbles back to the gate, a little dazed, he’s greeted by the other riders and invited into the club of guys who have ridden a bull.

“You really just got to relax,” Sankey advises. “You were really tight.”

He’s ready for the next round, Defreese says. But his first bull ride is a haze. He remembers little.

“I can’t tell you what happened,” he says. “I guess it was too quick for me.”

‘Shell-shocked’ In the rodeo arena, the beginning bullfighters are getting comfortable.

They’ve been chased a few times by a bull, and the nerves lessen, says Davidson.

Then it happens on the third ride of Day Two. A particularly aggressive bull — just having bucked a rider — hops around and sets his sights on Davidson.

Davidson slips.

Sankey and the other instructors frantically yell for Davidson to get up. He’s run over, as his partner, Miller, tries to get the bull away.

Davidson gets up but slips again after the bull gets bored with Miller.

As the bull bears down on Davidson — whose first mistake was trying to outrun the bull — his life-preserving instincts kick in, counter to bull-

SANKEY RODEO SCHOOL ● The three- and four-day schools are offered all year long, for people of all ages. ● Participants can choose training in bullfighting and clowning or bull riding, as well as bareback and saddleback bronc riding. ● Tuition ranges from $300 to $435, depending on the school.

fighting protocol. He curls up in the mud and covers his head.

“I was supposed to keep moving. I just laid and covered,” he says after.

“You don’t want to lay and cover.”

Because that’s when the bull will stomp on you, and that’s exactly what happens.

“Got stepped on my face a couple times,” Davidson says.

Taking a break on the sidelines, a visibly deflated Davidson talks about his eye swelling shut. He points to a spot on his arm and describes getting “cut up pretty bad.”

“Right now, I’m kind of shellshocked, I guess,” he says. “I’m hurting.”

He’ll shake it off and get back in the ring by the end of the day. He’ll spend his night watching the film of the rough run, trying to learn what he did wrong, he says.

Things are going a little more smoothly for Miller. He’s taken a few bumps and bruises, but nothing like Davidson. At least nothing to scare Mom too much.

Fish admits he’s pleasantly surprised by how well Miller has done.

“I’m worried he’s a little too timid,” Fish said before the first run, but reconsiders after seeing the quiet-as-a-mouse Miller evade bulls all day.

Miller is all nervous smiles as he steps out of the ring for a break.

For a kid who wants to make a living being chased by bulls, he gets just about the highest validation one can get at the Sankey Rodeo School.

One of the hardened rodeo coaches pats him on the back and says, “You’re what we’re looking for.”

3rd suspect sentenced in Kansas teen’s death OLATHE — The last of three codefendants has been sentenced in the killing of a suburban Kansas City woman left to die in the trunk of a car.

The Kansas City Star reported that Johnson County Judge James Franklin Davis told Joseph Mattox he did not believe the 23-year-old was a minor participant in the death of 18-year-old Keighley Alyea.

Davis sentenced Mattox on Friday in Johnson County District Court to life with no parole possible for 50 years and to almost 19 more years for kidnapping and robbery. The Overland Park man was convicted in April of charges including first-degree murder.

Prosecutors say Alyea was stabbed, beaten and choked before being left in the car trunk on Sept. 30, 2009. Her body was found about a week later in rural Cass County in Missouri.

The Family Fun Circus is performing in Lawrence tonight and Monday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St. This circus, based out of Texas, claims to feature the youngest human cannon ball in the country: 15-year-old Johnny Davenport.

Davenport’s father, Chuy, said his son’s routine used to scare him, but he has gotten used to it. The elder Davenport, who is in charge of maintenance, was born into the circus industry and has now passed the trade on to his son.

Can golf success carry over for Obama, Boehner?

By Julie Pace Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner put partisanship aside, at least on the golf course, and teamed up to triumph on the final hole Saturday in their longawaited links outing.

The match pitted the political rivals against Vice President Joe Biden and Ohio’s Republican Gov. John Kasich.

The match was won on the 18th hole, with the winning partners each pocketing a $2 prize.

The question now is whether a partnership forged on the tees, fairways and greens of a military base course can yield success in the policy arena. Obama and Boehner find themselves on opposite sides of everything from deficit reduction to the military campaign in Libya.

Aides to both men played down the chances of deals being struck on the par-72 East Course at Joint Base Andrews, but acknowledged the outing could improve a relationship that is respectful, but hardly close.

Tee time for the foursome was 9:30 a.m. at Obama’s home course at the base outside Washington.

The White House made a rare exception and allowed the press to watch Obama and his playing partners fin-

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WALKS OFF the first green with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, right, while golfing Saturday at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. ish the first hole, a par 5.

Biden was cool under pressure, sinking a 15- to 20-foot putt.

“Did you all catch that?”

Obama shouted to reporters gathered near the green.

The president, dressed in dark pants, a white polo shirt and a baseball cap, putted for par, tapping in a short shot after missing a 12-footer.

Kasich, a former congressman, missed a 30-footer, then tapped in for par. Boehner, one of the best golfers in Congress, gave a hearty “Oh yeah!” after draining a short putt.

Obama, who is not in Boehner’s links league, patted the speaker on the back as

they headed toward the second hole, the president driving their cart.

After wrapping up the match, the foursome headed to the clubhouse, where they had a cold drink and talked with service members. They also caught some action at the U.S. Open, the professional tournament going on in suburban Maryland.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said earlier in the week that the outing was “meant to be an opportunity for the speaker and the president, as well as the vice president and Ohio governor, to have a conversation, to socialize in a way that so rarely happens in Washington.”

E Street Band sax player Clarence Clemons dies NEW YORK — Clarence Clemons, the larger-than-life saxophone player for the E Street Band who was one of the key influences in Bruce Springsteen’s life and music through four decades, has died. He was 69.

Clemons died Saturday night after being hospitalized about a week ago following a stroke at his home in Singer Island, Fla. Bruce Springsteen acknowledge the dire situation earlier

this week, but said then he was hopeful. He called the loss “immeasurable.”

“We are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly 40 years,” Springsteen said on his website. “He was my great friend, my partner and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory,

and his love will live on in that story and in our band.”

Known as the Big Man for his imposing 6-foot-5-inch, 270plus pound frame, Clemons and his ever-present saxophone spent much of his life with The Boss, and his booming saxophone solos became a signature sound for the E Street Band on many key songs, including “Jungleland,” a triumphant solo he spent 16 hours perfecting, and “Born To Run.”

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD ● LJWorld.com ● Sunday, June 19, 2011

EDITORIALS

Appointment powers The people who serve on appointed state boards and commissions have a significant impact on the people of Kansas.

T

he Kansas governor’s website lists about 185 different boards and commissioners to which the governor appoints members.

The authority of some of those boards and commissions is far-reaching, while the charge of some is relatively small. Nonetheless, all of those bodies are important to at least some segment of the population of Kansas. University communities are especially interested in those appointed to the Kansas Board of Regents, but Kansas hairdressers also are greatly affected by those appointed to the Kansas State Board of Cosmetology.

This is a busy time of year for Kim Borchers, who serves as Gov. Brownback’s director of appointments, because many terms on state boards and commissions are set to expire on June 30, the end of the state’s fiscal year. On Friday, Borchers said that the terms of about 120 members of 50-plus boards are due to expire at the end of this month. As is customary, not all of those appointments will be made right away and many appointees will simply continue to serve until they are reappointed or replaced.

The list of appointments is a little shorter this year. No appointments will be needed for the Kansas Parole Board, which was abolished this year, or for the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corp. and Kansas Inc., whose duties were folded into the Kansas Department of Commerce.

However, although the governor vetoed all of its funding and dismissed its staff, the Kansas Arts Commission continues to exist and has six expiring terms that Brownback must fill.

The Board of Regents has one vacant position and two other members who will complete their terms on June 30. Four of the 15 members of the State Board of Healing Arts, including the board’s president and vice president, also will complete their terms, as will two of five members of the Citizens Utility Ratepayers Board.

This is just a sampling of the key appointments facing the governor.

Borchers points out that appointments to these boards and commissions cross party lines and, in many cases, come with statutory restrictions such as requiring that board members represent different congressional districts. For anyone interested in serving in these positions the application and other information is conveniently located on the governor’s website.

“Everyone can serve on a board,” Borchers said.

That technically is true, but certain applications probably are more likely to get the attention of Borchers and Brownback than others.

Although many, probably most, of the appointments are volunteer positions, some of them carry significant salaries. Like any elected official, Brownback had people who financially supported his election campaign and might like to be considered for one of those slots. The people a governor appoints to boards — especially those that have a large statewide impact — also can be a reflection of the importance he or she places on that board or perhaps an indication of a direction he or she would like that board to take.

The decisions Kansas voters make at the polls set the tone for state government, but it’s important to remember how many of the details are left to appointed boards. It’s also a reminder of the importance of monitoring those boards and perhaps even stepping up to seek an appointment.

NATO gets free ride on military actions WASHINGTON — America’s intervention in Libya’s civil war, the most protracted and least surreptitious assassination attempt in history, was supposed to last “days, not weeks,” but is in its fourth month and has revealed NATO to be an increasingly fictitious military organization.

Although this war has no discernible connection with U.S. national security, it serves the national interest in three ways. It is awakening some legislators to their responsibilities. It is refuting the pretense that the U.N. sets meaningful parameters to wars it authorizes — or endorses, which is quite different. And it is igniting a reassessment of NATO, a Potemkin alliance whose primary use these days is perverse: It provides a patina of multilateralism to U.S. military interventions on which Europe is essentially a free rider.

Recently, one-third of the House of Representatives — 87 Republicans and 61 Democrats — unavailingly but honorably voted to end American involvement in Libya in 15 days. Were Barack Obama not taking a Nixonian approach to the law — the War Powers Resolution — his intervention would have ended last month. The WPR requires interventions to end after 60 days, absent congressional approval.

Some people, who know better, insist that although the WPR is a 38-year-old law — passed over Richard Nixon’s veto — it is somehow a “dead letter.” Their theory is that any law a president

Since 9/11, U.S. military “spending has more than doubled, but that of NATO’s 27 other members has declined 15 percent.”

considers annoying, or Congress considers inconvenient, or some commentators consider unwise, is for those reasons nullified.

America’s Libyan involvement began because Moammar Gaddafi threatened to do to Benghazi what Bashar al-Assad’s tanks and helicopter gunships are doing to various Syrian cities.

When, in March, Obama said “building this international coalition has been so important,” he meant merely that a minority of the members of a 62-year-old alliance would seriously participate. Eight of NATO’s 28 members are attacking Gadhafi’s ground forces.

Obama, a novel kind of commander in chief, explained in passive syntax that “it is our military that is being volunteered by others to carry out missions.”

These “others” would rather finance their welfare states than their militaries, so they cannot wage war for 10 weeks without U.S. munitions and other assets.

Last month, this column noted that NATO was created in 1949 to protect Western Europe from the Soviet army; it could long ago have unfurled the “Mission Accomplished” banner; it has now become an instrument of mischief, and when the Libyan misadventure is finished, America should debate whether NATO also should be finished. Defense Secretary Robert Gates had another purpose — NATO’s revival — but he recently fueled that debate when, in Brussels, he predicted “a dim, if not dismal future” for the military alliance unless its members reinvest in their militaries.

Since 9/11, U.S. military spending has more than doubled, but that of NATO’s 27 other members has declined 15 percent. U.S. military spending is three times larger than the combined spending of those other members. Hence Gates warned that “there will be dwindling appetite and patience in” America for expending “increasingly precious funds on behalf of nations that are apparently unwilling to devote the necessary resources or make the necessary changes to be serious and capable partners in their own defense.” Already, U.S. officers in Afghanistan sometimes refer to the NATO command there — officially, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) — as “I Saw Americans Fighting.”

After a recent NATO attack on a tented encampment where Gaddafi has met foreign leaders, The New York Times reported: “The desert strike appeared to show the alliance’s readiness to kill Col. Gaddafi. A NATO statement described the target as a ‘command and control facility.’

But apart from small groups of soldiers lurking under trees nearby with pickups carrying mounted machine guns, reporters taken to the scene saw nothing to suggest that the camp was a conventional military target.”

In March, Obama said U.S. intervention would be confined to implementing a no-fly zone: “Broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.” By May, Obama’s Bushian mission was to make Libyans “finally free of 40 years of tyranny.” After more than 10,000 sorties, now including those by attack helicopters, NATO’s increasingly desperate strategy boils down to: Kill Gaddafi.

Then what? More incompetent improvisation, for many more months.

Disgust with this debacle has been darkly described as a recrudescence of “isolationism,” as though people opposing this absurdly disproportionate and patently illegal war are akin to those who, after 1938, opposed resisting Germany and Japan.

Such slovenly thinking is a byproduct of shabby behavior.

Media has a Palin addiction Memo to the lamestream media: Your Palin addiction is getting out of hand.

You know how it is with an addiction: You always think you can quit any time you want. Next thing you know, you’re waking up fixated on your next fix, your relationships are coming apart and your work is starting to suffer. So it’s time for an intervention.

Surely I am not the only one who found something obsessive in the deluge of reportage over the recent release of Sarah Palin’s emails. Granted, an important principle was at stake: The emails she sent during her brief time as Alaska’s governor are public records and were first requested by reporters vetting the then-vice presidential candidate back in 2008. The state has been dragging its heels ever since. So, yes, it was important that the peoples’ right to know be vindicated.

But you have to wonder if that vindication really deserved the breathless countdown clock coverage of the release, the headlines announcing such “bombshells” as the fact that her emails reveal she didn’t like criticism. Stop the presses.

And while we’re on the subject, can we talk about that bus tour?

Woman travels to politically important states and revered American sites while reporters and TV news choppers are reduced to trailing her bus like something out of a bad spy movie because she has refused to provide them an itinerary. Or, as she

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

If we find her “insubstantial, can’t it be

argued that our addiction to Palin reveals the same in us?”

you wonder why they stay in it.

For her part, Palin seems to enjoy the role of political gadfly and center of attention. And, let’s face it, the money’s not bad.

As for us, I think we are drawn by a lurid amazement that someone we find so insubstantial is viewed by many as being of presidential timber.

Beyond that, there is our ongoing fascination with the shiny bauble, the bouncing ball, the car crash. Palin addiction grows out of the same hollow judgment and inability to distinguish news from entertainment that produces a shark scare every third summer.

If we find her insubstantial, can’t it be argued that our addiction to Palin reveals the same in us?

Someone will ask about this, so for the record: Of about 250 columns I’ve written since 2009, this is my sixth specifically about Palin. A number of others mention her in passing.

I like a good story as much as the next guy. But when you are trailing a bus down an interstate or reading through 24,000 pages of emails chasing news that is not there on a woman whose presidential aspirations are undeclared and whose chances are marginal at best, it’s time to wonder: Are you doing a story, or is the story doing you?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 19, 1911: YEARS “At 8 o’clock last AGO night Deputy TreaIN 1911 surer D. L. Eddy was locked in the vault of the county treasurer’s office and robbed of $3,200 in currency and gold. Mr. Eddy was unable this morning to give any clearer intelligence of the man who did the robbing. All he knows is that he shoved a big looking gun in his face and Mr. Eddy made haste to obey the demand to get in the vault.... The night was hot and the vault dark and stifling. To stay there all night meant probable death by suffocation. So Eddy worked like a demon to attract attention. He called, but his voice did not reach through the walls of solid masonry. Then he fired his revolver and as the smoke filled the vault, he realized that this was a dangerous method to employ.

Then he took a book and pounded upon the door which caused a certain noise which could be distinguished.... After the robbery the thief made his escape through a window in the office of the county clerk leaving no clue behind.”

Soggy summer awaits along Missouri River KANSAS CITY , M O. (AP) — It isn’t so much the amount of water churning its way down the Missouri River that has people along the nation’s longest waterway on edge. It’s how long all that water will stick around.

The annual “spring rise” on the Missouri will last deep into this soggy summer, as a torrent of early season rains and winter snowpack flows through wide-open gates of South Dakota’s Gavins Point Dam upriver and toward the confluence with the Mississippi River. The Missouri might start to crest soon, but it won’t start to fall until August or later.

That constant pressure on the network of levees that protect farmland, roads, small towns and big cities from a river running well outside its banks is what worries folks downriver most as the high water heads south toward Kansas City and east toward St. Louis.

“The length of the flood will test levees like they’ve never been tested before,” Missouri

Gov. Jay Nixon said. “You’re going to see levees, which in essence may be tall enough, but not strong enough.”

That isn’t the only worry as the summer of 2011 shapes up as the worst since 1993, when a Missouri River swollen by weeks of rain over the northcentral United States led to flooding that killed 32 people, damaged an estimated 100,000 homes and caused $15 billion in damage.

There’s also the prospect of flooded fields in five states that will keep farmers from planting some crops and harvesting others. Highways covered with river water will be as much a headache for drivers as the cash-strapped state and counties that must pay to fix them. Barge operators — and those who rely on them — face big losses if the river remains closed to navigation.

And then there is the greatest unknown in a river valley with no more room for any more water.

“One of my biggest concerns is simply rain,” Nixon said.

RORY MCILROY REACTS after making a birdie putt on the 11th hole during the third round of the U.S. Open on Saturday. McIlroy held a commanding 8-stroke leading heading into today’s final round in Bethesda, Md.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

McIlroy carrying 8-stroke edge ——

22-year-old Irishman sets 54-hole record at U.S. Open BETHESDA, MD. (AP) — With each remarkable round, with each record-setting performance, Rory McIlroy is making that Masters debacle seem like a distant memory.

A U.S. Open title could erase it altogether.

McIlroy moved closer to his first major Saturday at Congressional by stretching his lead for the third straight day with a 3under 68 to set the 54-hole record at the U.S. Open — a mind-boggling 14-under 199 — and build an eight-shot lead going into the final round.

That’s twice the size of his lead going into the last day at Augusta National.

And this time, the 22-year-old Northern Irishman says he has learned from his mistakes.

“At Augusta, it was all a little bit new to me, going into the final round with the lead,” he said. “I didn’t know whether to be defensive, aggressive, go for it, not go for it. But now, I know what I need to do, which is a great thing to have. I have a clear mind going out there (today), and I just need to stick to my game plan.”

This time, history is on his side.

No one has ever blown more than a five-shot lead at the U.S. Open. No has ever lost any major when leading by more than six shots going into the final round.

And over three days on a rainsoftened course, no one looks to be close to McIlroy.

“It’s just phenomenal,” defending champion Graeme McDowell said. “You run out of superlatives to describe what he’s doing this week. He’s decimating a field.”

For those curious whether he would crumble, as McIlroy did in the final round at the Masters when he lost a four-stroke lead and shot 80, he answered with a combination of smart play early and aggressive shots when he found his rhythm.

His only bogey came from a shot that was about 5 feet too long and tumbled into a back bunker on the par-3 10th. On the next hole, facing one of the most daunting shots on the course from deep rough, he hit a 7-iron that covered the flag and settled 18 feet away. McIlroy pumped his fist when he made the birdie putt. It was a knockout punch to everyone else.

When he walked off the 18th green with a par, he was eight shots clear of Y.E. Yang and one round away from his first major.

“I wanted to catch up a little bit,” Yang said. “But at the same time, the player with the better shot, with the better putt, with the better composure is leading right now. So I have no regrets.

Right now, the better player is leading.” ● Scores on page 4B

KANSAS UNIVERSITY OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR CHUCK LONG, RIGHT, ENJOYED taking fishing trips with his father, the late Charles Sr. His father played an inspiring and heroic role in his life, the same way Long has impacted his children.

Long cherishes lifelong bond with late father

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Chuck Long has had some pretty great football years during his life, be them as a legendary college quarterback at the University of Iowa or an assistant coach at various stops, including Oklahoma, where he helped the Sooners win a national championship in 2000.

That’s what made 2008 so difficult for Long, Kansas University’s offensive coordinator and one of those eternal optimist types.

That was the year Long lost his father, Charles Sr. Seven months later, Long was fired from his first head coaching job at San Diego State.

As he struggled to push past his first real football rejection, the man he so often leaned on was not around to lift him up with a few words or even just a smile.

“The hardest time I’ve ever seen him have was after San Diego State,” said Lisa Long, Chuck’s wife of 24 years. “It was the first time he had to go through something really difficult without his dad.”

Long spent the next year out of

coaching. That’s when fate intervened and served up a serious blessing. As it turned out, being a full-time father to his own children was the one thing that helped pull Long through the pain of losing Charles Sr. According to Lisa, 2009 was one of the most memorable years for Long the dad, a man who refers to his own father as, “my mentor, my hero.”

“That year off was so great because he got to be with the kids,” said Lisa, a mother of five. “He was able to see every basketball game our oldest son, Nate, played. And he was able to see our son, Zach, start his freshman year at quarterback.

He just loved every minute of it.

Nate had a great season. He was his team’s MVP. And Zach only lost one game that year. It was really great. If there was a year for him to just dig in and enjoy his kids, that was the perfect one.”

Charles Sr. was a part of a state championship basketball team in high school, but never played beyond that. Instead, he set out for the University of Oklahoma, where he majored in journalism and was a

die-hard supporter of the Sooners.

After college, Charles Sr. spent several years working as a magazine editor and later worked in public relations with Beatrice Foods.

All the while, Long was busy making a name for himself as one of the greatest college quarterbacks of all-time.

He finished his playing career with a 35-13-1 overall record, 10,461 yards, 74 total touchdowns and 782 completions. His 1985 season — in which he threw for 3,297 yards and 27 TDs and was an All-American and the Big Ten player of the year — is widely regarded by Hawkeye fans as one of the greatest in college football history.

Long said his dad cherished the opportunity to watch him play football. But their relationship never changed.

“He was supportive from Day 1 and he loved every minute of it,” Long said. “But he also kept me humble all the way through. He always kept me focused on the next game.”

Though Charles Sr. was proud of Please see LONG, page 3B

San Diego State basketball coach Steve Fisher was not a happy camper Friday upon learning prize Aztec recruit Kevin Young had decided to switch his commitment to Kansas University.

“I’m disappointed that a young man who I am very fond of would not feel an obligation to honor an eight-month commitment,” Fisher told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Young, a 6-foot-8, 215-pound forward who played two years at Loyola Marymount before taking classes at Barstow Community College last school year, signed a financial aid agreement with SDSU in November. He ultimately changed his mind and elected to play his final two seasons at KU. “And I’m equally disappointed in a program and coach I’m very fond of to pursue a player who made an eight-month commitment,” Fisher added.

He, of course, was referring to ninth-year KU coach Bill Self, who issued his take on the situation Saturday in an interview with the Journal-World.

“I don’t blame coach Fisher for being disappointed at all because Kevin did commit to them,” Self said, “but Kevin also told them he wasn’t going to San Diego State before we recruited him, so we didn’t Self steal him from San Diego State by any stretch.

“We would not have recruited Kevin if he was committed to San Diego State. He did de-commit from them before we pursued him at all. We did not recruit him until after he de-committed,” KU’s coach stressed.

San Diego State, which is in rebuilding mode after losing several players off last year’s Sweet 16 team, currently has eight scholarship players to KU’s 11.

The maximum is 13.

“Unfortunately, the only people who suffer in this situation is us because we passed over three or four very talented players because we did honor our commitment (to Young),” Fisher told the Union-Tribune.

Financial aid agreements bind a school to a player, but not a player to a school. Young could not sign a national letter of intent with SDSU in November because players can sign just one letter in their college careers.

Young has signed a financial aid agreement with KU and is enrolled in summer school.

“It (SDSU) is a great school as well,” Young told the J-W. “There’s nothing they did wrong or anything that made me change my mind. I just figure this is a bigger stage and a lot more opportunity.” ● Notebook on page 3B

Escobar continued his torrid pace Saturday with two hits, but it wasn’t enough for the Royals in a 5-4 loss at St. Louis.

Known for his defensive skills, Escobar has 16 hits in his last 29 at-bats. Escobar has seven multihit games in eight contests during the current road trip that ends today.

“He’s pushed his average up at

least 50 points since we left Kansas City,” manager ROYALS VS. Royals Ned Yost said.

CARDS “He’s swinging the bat real well When: 1:15 p.m. and making today spectacular plays defensiveWhere: St. Louis TV: FSKC (36, 236) ly.”

Escobar says the key to his recent success is patience.

“I feel like I’m more comfort-

Escobar tripled in a pair of runs in the second to give the Royals a 2-1 lead. He singled and stole a base in the fourth.

Pair commits to Kansas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas University football program picked up a pair of commitments from the Class of 2012 on Saturday.

One came from the top offensive lineman in the state and the other in the form of a player from Camden, Ark., whom many say could be a big-time sleeper.

Brian Beckmann, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound tackle from Blue Valley West High, was the first

his son’s football success, he made sure to stay out of it.

“He wasn’t one to watch practice or go talk to the coaches,” Long said. “When I went to school, he just dropped me off and dumped my stuff out and said, ‘All right, we’ll see ya.’”

When the two were together, back home in Wheaton, Ill., or at their summer cabin in Manitou Springs, Colo., Long and his father enjoyed fishing, horseback riding and playing tennis. Instead of sitting around talking about life, they got out and lived it.

“We always had the small chats more than the big one,” Long said. “And I think the small chats were equally as important and effective. We had good conversations, but our conversations were outside of football. That’s what made the relationship special, we talked about other things.

When we did talk about football he always talked about other players. It wasn’t really so much about me.”

Asked to share his father’s favorite memories of his football career, Long easily pointed to two.

“Probably my senior year in college,” Long said. “We were No. 1 in the nation and they were No. 2, and we beat Michigan at home. That was a big highlight for him. As for the other, he was an Okla-

to orally commit to Kansas on Saturday. He’s ranked by Rivals.com as the top offensive lineman in the state.

KU assistant Reggie Mitchell was the lead recruiter for Beckmann and offensive line coach J.B. Grimes also added to the effort.

Beckmann chose KU over an offer from Kansas State.

Alabama, Duke, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Oklahoma and Wisconsin also showed interest.

Derek Keaton, a 5-10, 165pound burner from Fairview High in Camden, Ark., also was in town this weekend.

After an impressive showing Friday night, the Jayhawks offered Keaton a scholarship Saturday morning. He committed immediately.

Keaton, who has been clocked in the 4.4-second range in the 40-yard dash, worked out at both wide receiver and defensive back.

Keaton had offers from Mississippi and Missouri State.

homa graduate and when I went back there and coached and we won a national championship in 2000, that was a huge highlight for him. Those two moments were probably his most proud.”

Long knows for a fact that he never once left a practice early. On the rare occasion he even considered it, one image popped into his head and made sure the 1985 Heisman Trophy runner-up, who played five seasons in the NFL, stuck it out.

That face was his father’s.

“I don’t know if you ever saw the movie Hoosiers,” Long said. “Remember the kid who left practice and his dad dragged him back and said, ‘My boy’s got something to say.’ That’s my dad. He’s just that guy.”

He also was much more.

Those who knew him spoke glowingly about his charming personality.

“Everybody was a friend immediately,” said Lisa, who first met Charles Sr. when she was 10 years old.

Added Long: “I remember when he passed away, all the people that talked to me about him said the same thing. They said, ‘We just loved your father because he loved us.’”

There are days, Lisa says, when her husband reminds her so much of her father-inlaw it’s scary. There are other days, when Long walks into a room with his own trademark bounce or finds a way to make everybody laugh in a difficult situation, when watching her husband’s zest for life helps

ease Lisa’s own pain of having lost Charles Sr., the grandfather to her five children: Lindsay, 22; Samantha, 21; Nate, 18; Zach, 16; and Maddy, 14.

“They are freakishly carbon copies of each other,” Lisa said. “Putting that undying positive outlook and spin on things was the biggest trait that Chuck and his dad shared.”

Long remembers that about his dad. It still makes him smile.

While some of those character traits are ingrained in him there’s another trait that Long consciously tries to perfect every day.

“The thing I try to carry on from my father is the way he treated people,” Long said.

“He was just a great person.

He loved being around people and he treated them all well.

We had a great relationship.

We were very close. He was one of my heroes. He was just a fabulous person.”

From where Lisa sits, her husband is following in his father’s footsteps just fine, even those of the proud father of a young quarterback.

“Chuck drove over to watch Zach’s first game and I stayed home because I’m a nervous Nellie,” said Lisa, recalling that magical year of 2009. “So I was getting texts throughout the whole game that would say, ‘Touchdown,’ or ‘Zach’s great.’ Chuck called afterwards and he said, ‘It was so great, I was so proud,’ and he was pretty choked up about it.

He would’ve missed it if he was coaching.”

seven-game skid with the victory.

Holliday and three others starters — Ryan Theriot, Skip Schumaker and Yadier Molina — wore their socks up near the knees in an effort to shake the bad luck. Holliday even changed uniform pants, wearing a tighter pair belonging to special assistant Red Schoendienst, a Hall of Famer.

Now, Holliday is ready to move forward with the new look.

“You can’t change after a win,” he said.

Holliday drilled an 0-1 pitch from reliever Greg Holland to erase a 4-3 deficit. Holliday is 5-for-9 with two homers and four RBIs since coming back from a quadriceps injury June 16.

“I thought timing might be an issue,” he said. “But I saw the ball pretty well.”

Holliday homered in his first at-bat in his return to the lineup Thursday. The home run Saturday, his eighth of the season, went 422 feet to dead center.

Kansas City, which won the first game of the series, has lost three of four.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook Twins to Green Room The NBA invited KU’s Marcus and Markieff Morris to sit in the Green Room for Thursday’s NBA Draft in Newark, N.J. The twins will be joined by Alec Burks, Jimmer Fredette, Kyrie Irving, Enes Kanter, Brandon Knight, Kawhi Leonard, Chris Singleton, Klay Thompson, Tristan Thompson, Jonas Valanciunas, Jan Vesely, Kemba Walker and Derrick Williams.

Green Room invites go to players expected to be selected in the top 20.

“I think Marcus and Markieff will both be lottery picks (top 14),” KU coach Bill Self said. “I think Josh (Selby, former KU guard) will be taken in the first round and it will be a great day for Kansas fans. We should be

happy and proud of those guys.”

ESPN analyst Chad Ford says Marcus Morris will be selected ninth by Charlotte, Markieff 19th by Charlotte, and Selby 26th by Dallas.

The twins would love to play on the same team. Odds of that happening are slim.

“Yes, they can play apart. It will be good for them to be apart, although I do think they are so good together,” Self said.

NATIONAL BRIEFS AUTO RACING Busch wins pole again BROOKLYN, MICH. — Another race, another pole for Kurt Busch. This is a drill he’s happy to get used to.

Busch won his third consecutive pole in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, finishing first in qualifying Saturday at Michigan International Speedway with a lap of 188.699 miles per hour. He’s the first driver to win three straight poles since Brian Vickers in 2009, and two qualifying sessions were canceled during that streak.

Busch was forced to a backup car last weekend after damaging his No. 22 Dodge in practice. There’s been less drama this time around as he prepares for today’s 400-mile race.

Edwards triumphs BROOKLYN, MICH. — Carl Edwards raced to his fourth NASCAR Nationwide victory of the year, passing teammate Ricky Stenhouse Jr. with less

than 10 laps remaining Saturday at Michigan International Speedway.

Edwards, the Sprint Cup points leader, had finished second in three straight Nationwide races since winning at Dover in May, but he was able to slip underneath Stenhouse before holding on to win by 1.669 seconds in the No. 60 Ford. It was his 33rd career Nationwide victory.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Nevada WR wounded RENO, NEV. — Nevada starting wide receiver Brandon Wimberly was shot and seriously wounded early Saturday in a fight between a group of his football teammates and another group of men.

Police say the 22-year-old Wimberly was shot once in the abdomen when he approached the other men in downtown Reno as they fled in a car. He was taken to a hospital, where he was in serious condition.

LARRY WARREN was the only shooter to represent Lawrence at the June 11 Prince of the Pistoleers state shooting championship earlier this month in Lenexa. A past state champion in his division, Warren didn't place this year, but that was never the point. “I’m out of the running now, so I can just have fun. That's what I'm here for anyway, fun,” Warren says. See video of the event at Lawrence.com.

What would you like to see less of in Lawrence?

Less empty storefronts downtown.

Do you have any piercings or tattoos? Yes, four tattoos. Pierced ears, used to have my septum pierced.

I decided it made me look a little scarier than I'd like.

Do you have any fashion influences? Mrs. Roper and Gwen Stefani.

People say I look like… The most flattering was Audrey Tautou. The funniest was a man at a gas station who yelled, “You look like that one chick from the Go-Gos!” out of his car window.

A mix of timeless fashion and current trends.

IN BETWEEN MATCHES, guns and ammunition are stored in these personalized carts. Safety is a major focus of Cowboy Action Shooting events, as there is a daily safety meeting before the event begins. If participants miss the meeting, they can't compete. This safety consciousness is extended to the range itself, where each weapon must be inspected prior to being loaded and after it has been fired.

What are your current favorite fashion trends? Slim lapel and shawl collar suits, midnight blue tuxedos, sheer men’s button-ups and old school hairstyles.

What are your least favorite fashion trends? Polo hats, Sperry shoes and leggings as pants (’cause they are NOT pants).

dad’s been gone for over three years now, but each Father’s Day, while bittersweet, gets a little easier to take. Especially when I focus on one of my favorite Dad stories, like this one: I was 24, newly wed and living with my husband in our little love nest, a couple of miles from my parents’ home in Kansas City.

One Saturday, I hopped over to the old house to pick up some personal effects I’d left behind.

Seinfeld called it the “pop in.”

Naturally, I went zero to 60, from Logical Explanation Land to Worst Case Scenario City: “Omigod! What if bank robbers are holding my entire family at gunpoint in the basement!? What if they’re all passed out under the kitchen table, victims of a horrible case of food poisoning!? Or — eek — a gas leak?” I hurried to the kitchen, the family room, laundry room and down to the basement.

“Hel-looo? Anybody home?”

By the time I reached my parents’ bedroom, I was in Stage 4 panic mode. It didn’t help that the door was closed.

“Mom?! Dad?! You in there?”

No response.

I knocked on the door.

“It’s Cathy. Hello?”

Again, no answer. My pulse was racing. I reached for the doorknob, but it wouldn’t budge.

Locked from the inside!

“MOTHER….. DADDY? Is everything OK?” A few more moments of silence, then came a familiar female voice, soft and breathless.

“Be out… in a minute…” my mother said.

“SORRY!” I cried, and ran down the hall, far, far away.

Or, as far away as I could get without dashing to the driveway, hopping in my Volkswagen and high-tailing it home.

I waited in the family room, the humor of the situation quickly replacing the horror.

Finally, my mother shuffled out in her robe, a guilty smile on her face.

“Sorry, Mom. I had no idea…” I said, giggling.

Once that’s done, it’s onto the alias. Like the previously mentioned costume clause, all shooters need an alias (Barber’s is Tame Bill).

“In the single-action shooting society, everyone adopts an alias and from that alias, then they develop a character,” Barber says. “Part of the shooting is not simply the competition, though that’s a big part of it, but developing that character and costuming accordingly, so costuming is part of the shooting.”

Location, location, location After the club was established, it became clear the group needed a place to call home. Every shooting club’s only as good as its shooting range, after all.

With the approval of the Powder Creek Shooting Park’s board of directors, some acreage was reserved behind the high-power rifle berm. It was there that construction on Hodgdon Powder Creek Cowboy Action Shooting Range would begin.

The result is a series of four building fronts, lined side-by-side, united by a wood plank walkway and hitching posts. Each building is stocked with minor but purposeful detail. Looking out any of a given building’s windows or doorframe yields a view of the hillside/shooting range.

From here, shooters take aim at targets unique to each weapon type, shout their catchphrase to alert their cohorts of the impending gunshot and fire.

“

You meet a lot of nice people. If you want to get started, all you have to do is go and people will help you, even loan you guns, if you need them.”

— Larry Warren, Lawrence Them’s the rules While there are longrange and black powder competitions during the three-day championship, the main match took place last Saturday. There, shooters were tested on their pistol, rifle and shotgun speed and accuracy through a circuitstyle competition, in which each weapon is fired at a specific set of targets and is done so in a specific order.

Because there is a certain level of theater involved, the organizer of each station reads a detailed scenario before each round that involves Wild West themes such as horse theft or a hostage situation in a saloon.

To signify their readiness, a shooter must shout a specific phrase before beginning the circuit like, “Give up the horse!” This also signals the time keeper to start.

Shooters are judged on time, but accuracy is a factor as each miss adds seconds to overall time. Shooters who hit every target are declared “clean” by the judges and are met with whoops and hollers from the spectators.

Fill your hands This year’s state championship featured more than 120 shooters who hailed from all over the country and, in one couple’s case, Canada. One shooter in particular was Lawrence’s own Larry Warren, known

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

amongst his Powder Creek pistoleros as Quirt Dunn.

Like many of the members of The Powder Creek Cowboys and other SASS-affiliated groups, Warren got into shooting later in life. At 76 he boasts the title of elder statesman and wears it proudly and literally in the form of a champion belt buckle.

“Once you hear those metal targets ring, you’re hooked,” Warren says. “I’ve always been a history buff.

That’s part of it, too.”

Retired, Warren got into cowboy action shooting almost by accident when a friend took him along to a shoot in Ellsworth. The outdoor sport suits him fine, but the real draw for Warren isn’t the excuse to shoot vintage pistols or play cowboy two weekends a month and a Wednesday. It’s the camaraderie he shares with his fellow gunmen.

“You meet a lot of nice people. If you want to get started, all you have to do is go and people will help you, even loan you guns, if you need them,” Warren says.

Within five minutes on the shooting range and it’s easy to see why. Shooters stop by to say hello or ask about his previous round, while he tends to his guns.

Some joke with him about becoming a local celebrity and turning into a prima donna. Warren laughs this off as he sits with a group of weekend westerners during the championship’s Saturday lunch break. Warren didn’t place in the top on Saturday, but that was never the point.

“I’m out of the run now, so I can just have fun. That’s what I’m here for anyway, fun,” Warren says.

Dad loved that and, through the years, colorful striped golf socks would show up on doorknobs in the most unexpected places, especially on family vacations.

Today, another man lives in the old house with my mother. I don’t call him stepdad, because I’m 55 and the word doesn’t seem quite right. Instead, I call him Dave.

Since their wedding in April, Mom and Dave have been blissfully cohabitating.

Heck, every other time I phone, they’re out somewhere having a great time.

Or, not answering, for some reason.

I have yet to attempt my first pop in. They are newlyweds, after all, and I want to give them their privacy.

WHAT ARE YOU

READING

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

Michaela Ison, Free State sophomore, Lawrence “’Great Expectations’ by Charles Dickens. It’s kind of just about this kid becoming a man. It’s kind of hard to explain.”

Natalie Zaitz, Free State sophomore, Lawrence “’The Secret Life of Bees’ by Sue Monk Kidd. It’s about a girl trying to find her way through life or trying to run away from her problems.”

John Hathaway, service assistant, Lawrence “’If God is Your Co-Pilot, Swap Seats’ by James W. Moore. It’s about priorities in God’s life. It’s a pretty good, interesting book.”

Nimai MacMillan, ninth-grader, Baldwin City “Orson Scott Card’s ‘Ender’s Game.’ It’s about this kid that gets pulled into the army when he’s really little. It’s based in the future.”

nevertheless propaganda.

“From its founding in 1794 all the way to the present,” King notes, “Odessa has struggled to survive somewhere between success and suicide. Like many vibrant seaports and multicultural urban spaces, the city has continually sought to unleash its better demons, the mischievous tricksters that are the vital muses of urban society and the restless creators of literature and art. But it has often loosed its darker ones instead, those that lurk in alleyways and whisper of religious loathing, class envy, and ethnic revenge.”

King chronicles both, from the imperial era’s impact on Odessa “to its passage into the realm of myth and longing.” The city’s rise and fall emerges through the lives of its citizens and its rulers. Its trajectory goes from a fragile world of diversity, enlightenment and sharp personality that attracted Pushkin and others, to the terror of the last century’s pogroms and the murderous Romanian occupation that destroyed what defined Odessa.

His portrait of the city and its culture is rich and riveting, complex and compelling, powerful and poetic.

Those adjectives don’t apply to “Romanov Riches: Russian Writers and Artists Under the Tsars” (Alfred A. Knopf, $30), by Solomon Volkov, a curious valentine to the monarchs that unintentionally could start you humming “The Internationale.”

Volkov’s fondness for the Romanovs is remarkable and unyielding, even in a work where he almost routinely discusses their brutality and their use of the artist for political purposes.

The young Dostoevsky once was part of a socialist circle. He and others were arrested and sentenced to be hanged. The sentence was commuted to hard labor in Siberia while he stood on the scaffold. Years later, a new tsar would pardon him and other “state criminals.” The experiences contributed to Dostoevsky becoming a monarchist.

Very tough love.

Volkov concludes, “The vast empire slipped out of the Romanovs’ hands, and with it, its biggest treasure — the great Russian culture.

“Yet the Romanovs will remain forever in the history of that magnificent culture, where Catherine the Great quarrels and makes up with

Derzhavin and Nicholas I with P ushkin, Karamzin mentors Alexander I, Zhukovsky brings up the future Alexander II, Alexander III listens attentively to Tchaikovsky’s ’Swan Lake,’ and Nicholas II reads Tolstoy’s stories to his son.”

But if you ever thought your boss was erratic, capricious and slightly nuts, just ponder the innumerable ignobles who ran things for more than three centuries.

To be a successful artist under the Romanovs generally meant pleasing a very specific audience, or one particular person, who could have you burned alive, mutilated or exiled. If the artist was in good graces at the time of his death, the family might be sent a pension.

Even Pushkin, respected and promoted, would earn an exit from St. Petersburg because of his words about freedom, only later to be called “my P ushkin” by Nicholas I. Volkov, whose book is translated by Antonina W. Bouis, advises that “Dostoevsky should be read in Russian.” Maybe “Romanov Riches” comes across better in the original. But that could be an illusion, too.

’Nom de Plume’ explains famous pen names

By Emily Fredrix Associated Press Writer

In the annals of literature, pen names have long created as much intrigue about the authors as the pieces they write.

Carmela Ciuraru’s “Nom de Plume” deftly tells the stories of some of literature’s most famous pen names by weaving in details about these secretive, often eccentric writers’ lives and works to examine their decision to use pen names. From Lewis Carroll (born Charles Dodgson), to Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) and Victoria Lucas Earl Schweppe, (Sylvia Plath), one chapter is retired, devoted to each with so much Lawrence detail that the authors under “’The Man Who Invented the discussion seem to become Computer: The Biography of characters in Ciuraru’s book.

‘A Study in Contrasts’

A wonder filled time of the year!

By Peter M. Gianotti

Alexander Pushkin, the great poet, wrote that an illusion that elevates us is dearer than truths that don’t.

He is a haunting figure in two new books about culture and tragedy in Russia, where the tangles of history and ideology always threaten to entwine fact and fiction.

“Odessa: Genius and Death in a City of Dreams” (W.W. Norton & Co., $27.95), by Charles King, begins as an evocative celebration of the port on the Black Sea, but it unfolds as an elegy, a moving and lyrical epitaph to what was and what is.

Today, it’s pretty easy to visit Odessa. Take the Broadway express to Brighton Beach. Now, you’ll find more of the world King describes in Brooklyn than you will in Ukraine. Much of the vibrant, tolerant port of Odessa, with its combination of “neighborliness and mayhem,” belongs only to memory.

King, a professor of international affairs and government at Georgetown University, has written extensively about Eastern Europe. His notable works include “The Ghost of Freedom: A History of the Caucasus” and “The Black Sea: A History.”

“Odessa” is a more approachable work, whether you’re interested in the stirring, turbulent and finally tragic history of the Jewish community in the city; the importance of the port itself in the world economy; or the editing of events in Sergei Eisenstein’s landmark “Battleship Potemkin,” the 1925 movie revered for its technique and contribution to filmmaking that is

ers — the book will enthrall.

It’s as much a meditation on the creative process as it is a tell-all about their names and the intrigue, branding or mind games that created them. Readers don’t need to be familiar with all the writers. Some of the names aren’t well-known to modern audiences, which Ciuraru acknowledges. But they’ll still be able to appreciate the stories behind the story.

Ciuraru devotes pages to exploring the reasons for — and effects of — these other identities. She’s done much

research for this book, weaving in the authors’ personal and public writings, along with those of their contemporaries.

The names can be an excuse, reason or outlet to create. The Bronte sisters — Anne, Charlotte and Emily, and Karen Blixen, wouldn’t have been taken seriously — or even printed. So the male pen names of Acton, Currer and Ellis Bell, and Isak Dinesen, gave them a chance to be published.

Others, like Carroll, author of “Alice’s Adventures in

Wonderland,” were wellestablished in their fields and wanted a pen name to separate their various selves.

Carroll, a “shy, eminent Oxford mathematician and lecturer, had created the nom de plume as a means of shelter from which he could let his imagination run wild,” she explains.

He stuck to his pen name so much that he even asked a library at Oxford to delete all cross-references between his two names.

One shortcoming of “Nom de Plume” is its lack of conclusion. The book is told as a series of short works on these authors and many similarities among them pop out, beyond their pen names. Ciuraru expertly tells their stories and draws conclusions within each section, but other than the introduction, there’s no explanation to bring the examination full circle.

New biography does justice to attorney Clarence Darrow’s brilliance

By Carl Hartman For The Associated Press

Lincoln Steffens, one of the original muckrakers, dubbed Clarence Darrow “attorney for the damned,” a tribute to Darrow’s support of underdogs — strikers, bombers, anarchists, murderers — against governments and industry.

At 36, Darrow was still working in the other camp. Poor but well educated, he had become assistant counsel to the powerful Chicago and Northwestern Railway Co. His

job included f ighting damage claims from victims of accidents at Chicago’s street-level railroad tracks.

He wrote a reformer friend that he felt like a slave and hypocrite.

When the railroad’s general counsel died, Darrow quit and went to work for the mayor of Chicago.

“No one then perceived that this was the birth of the grandest legal career in American history,” writes John A. Farrell in “Clarence Darrow: Attorney for the Damned.”

It’s praise that can be questioned,

but Darrow adhered faithfully to a lifelong principle: that any legal maneuver was justified to save a human from the death penalty. Farrell shows him repeatedly guiding hated defendants from crime to punishment, or acquittal.

His greatest victory on that principle was a worldwide sensation.

Richard Loeb, 18, was the youngest graduate in the history of the University of Michigan. Nathan Leopold, 19, was a law student at the University of Chicago about to transfer to Harvard.

The two college students from wealthy Jewish families confessed to the thrill murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks, beating in his head with a heavy chisel. The 1924 trial attracted worldwide attention. Girls swooned over the handsome teenagers. Even Ruby, Darrow’s wife, thought them “adorable.”

Farrell’s account seems based on the view that the mercy sentences of life imprisonment for Leopold and Loeb were due in large part to the prosecutor’s ill-advised hints that their families’ wealth and influ-

ence had procured a friendly judge.

Darrow eloquently argued that Illinois had never hanged anyone under 24 who pleaded guilty.

His last and arguably most publicized case had nothing to do with crime.

It pitted him against former Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, who was helping prosecute teacher John Scopes under a Tennessee statute that outlawed evolution in public schools — the socalled “Monkey Trial” — held in 1925.

ARTS NOTES Summer Theatre opens with melodrama This summer, as part of the celebration of the Kansas Sesquicentennial, the University of Kansas Theatre is presenting the Kansas Summer Theatre’s production of “Dirty Work at the Crossroads” or “Tempted, Tried and True,” a comic melodrama by Bill Johnson. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. July 1-4 and 8-10 at Liberty Hall, 644 Mass.

KU Theatre alumnus and Kansas City actor Kip Niven is directing the summer production.

Based on a melodrama first staged in 1890 and updated by Johnson in 1965, this “great romantic drama” is an old-fashioned story of good versus evil with a beautiful and innocent heroine, a pure hearted hero, and an evil villain. It tells the tear-jerking story of Nellie Lovelace, an innocent country girl; of Adam Oakhart, the stalwart blacksmith’s son; and of Munro Murgatroyd, the villain from the big city.

“Dirty Work at the Crossroads” features several musical selections, including “Why Did They Dig Momma’s Grave So Deep,” “That Old Cuckoo Clock That Hangs Upon the Wall,” “All That Glitters Is Not Gold,” “She Is More to Be Pitied Than Censured,” and “I Saw Esau.” The audience will also be able to participate in a sing-along of turn-of-the-century music during intermissions.

Tickets are $12 for the public, $10 for KU students, faculty, staff and senior citizens, and $5 for K-12 students.

Wheelchair troupe hopes to raise funds for travel

By Michael Auchard Special to the Journal-World

Lawrence resident Lorraine Cannistra, a former Ms. Wheelchair Kansas, became involved with Kansas City nonprofit Groovability in 2008 after seeing one of the group’s performances at the pageant.

“When I saw it, I cried,” she says. “I didn’t realize wheelchair users could dance like that, and I wanted to do it. Now when I dance, all the labels and limitations that other people put on me because of my disability, because of what I could and couldn’t do, simply disappear. It’s challenged my thinking as to what lies ahead of me, because what’s possible for me now has grown by leaps and bounds.”

Groovability is a wheelchair ballroom dance company that is made up of wheelchair users and nondisabled instructors. Together they design choreography to songs and then dance at competitions and pageants, such as the Ms. Wheelchair America pageant.

Although they are invited to several events each year, the group is always in need of additional funding to travel.

“We have various competitions coming up,” Cannistra says. “Our next one is in August in Kansas City, and we need money for the entry fees for the competitions and equipment and various things like that. We have lots invitations to go places, but University Press book of the cost of travel (is prohibitive).” wins award JoAnne Fluke, executive At its 14th annual Members’ director of Groovability, Meeting June 12 at the Fort agrees that funding is always Belvoir Officer’s Club at Fort a constant concern for the Belvoir, Va., the Army Historical organization.

“Most of our donations go into a scholarship, and that is used to help with competition costs,” Fluke says. “Our dancers go to national ballroom competitions and perform. It offsets that cost and traveling expenses. In the near future, we’re hoping to get our dancers better wheelchairs to perform in.”

Fluke, who has from Caudal regression syndrome, founded Groovability, making it a nonprofit in 2007. She says the original idea came to her after she noticed wheelchair-bound people were having trouble adjusting to life after high school.

“I realized that individuals have transition years,” Fluke

says, “like let’s say right after high school into becoming a young adult. Unless they have a really good social group, they seem to not be as active. I wanted to provide an opportunity for people within that age group to be able to exercise, socialize and really just to have fun.”

Fluke says the group is not exclusively for younger adults. She says the main goal of Groovability is to facilitate better relationships between people.

“Our age range is usually out of high school, but we’ve had dancers in the past that were in the 40s and 50s.

That’s what’s really cool about Groovability, that all of those barriers seem to break down — the age barriers, the

Special to the Journal-World

“MIL MASCARAS VS. THE AZTEC MUMMY” follows the famous luchador Mil Mascaras as he battles the forces of evil alongside other famous Mexican wrestlers.

The show was Friday at Liberty Hall. screening films within this genre at Liberty Hall starting in 2009. The staff at Liberty Hall has also worked to assist Brogdon and fellow enthusiasts track down the license holders and secure the rights to screen the films in the series.

Friday night, Liberty Hall once again hosted Cinema con Queso. This particular occurrence within the series was very special, however.

“Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy,” this year’s film, is the first lucha libre film shot in English. It was shot right here in the Midwest by faculty and students of the University of Missouri at Columbia.

Jeffrey Uhlmann, associate professor in the school of engineering, began teaching computer science at the University of Missouri in 2000. At the time, he had written the script for his film and had plans for production. With the help of faculty and students at the university, Ulhmann’s film went into production in 2004.

Directed by Andrew Quint and Chip Gubera, the film was completed in 2007, the project extended over several semesters. Financed privately by the filmmakers, “Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy” boasts a surprisingly high production value for the genre, which was

every bit intentional. “We went for the best possible the genre has ever seen,” explains Uhlmann.

In addition, the cast includes 10 well-known Mexican luchadores, who traveled from Mexico to Columbia for the shoot, including Mil Mascaras, the film’s titular luchador. El Santo, another well-known luchador, also makes an appearance.

El Santo, who is actually the son of the original Santo, inherited his father’s mask only after his death. “Santo made films in the ‘60s and early ‘70s and is by far one of the most famous in the genre. He’s an icon down in Mexico. If you go down there you’ll see statues of him,” Uhlmann says.

The film has a great deal more than the luchadores though, with a wide range of characters.

“You won’t see a wilder, more fantastic psychedelic film,” says Uhlmann. Included in the description of characters is right on par with Brogdon’s description of the genre, including an Aztec mummy, a robot and, of course, vampire women.

The screening included live music, with the Lawrence-based band BongoRita, who played in advance of the screening at 7:30 p.m. “Right before the movie starts, we always do a luchador mask give away,” Brogdon says.

Funded entirely by ticket sales, Brogdon and his team plan to continue the Cinema con Queso screening events.

“It’s been a year since we’ve done it,” he says. “Hopefully we’ll have more screenings sooner than a year from now.”

Fluke says she enjoys working with Groovability

and that the work the group does makes a genuine difference in people’s lives.

“I will tell you,” Fluke says, “the best part of being involved is being able to give individuals this opportunity. When they realize they can do anything they put their minds to it. I’ve seen a lot of our dancers’ confidence shoot up immensely.

It’s amazing to see people who don’t have disabilities dancing with people in wheelchairs and they start to feel more comfortable.

It’s like all of the disabilities melt away. It’s pretty darn cool.”

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Phrenology pieces conversation starters

By Terry Kovel

GEESE CONGREGATE across the lake Wednesday at the Lawrence Rotary Arboretum, 5100 W. 27th St. A two-mile children’s nature trail is scheduled to be added this summer.

Nature trail planned for Lawrence Rotary Arboretum H

ere’s a new place to check out: the Lawrence Rotary Arboretum, 5100 W. 27th St. Although the address might throw you, the Arboretum is next to the Clinton Lake Softball Complex and Youth Sports Complex, near the intersection of Wakarusa Drive and the K-10 bypass.

Besides trees (yes, they are still young, but growing), the park has waterfalls leading into a large pond, scenic views of native and adapted wildflowers, a xeriscape garden, shelters and a pergola perfect for picnicking, and a smooth concrete path to stroll with the family.

Soon, the Arboretum will also have an interactive nature trail to add fun for kids of all ages.

The new path, which will likely be called The Bluebird Nature Trail, is planned to wrap around the large pond and then loop through the marshy area northwest of the pond. The trail intersects with the main path in several locations but offers a chance to get closer to the plants and wildlife that call the Arboretum home.

The idea for the nature trail originated with the new member group for the Lawrence Rotary Club. The class was looking for a project to work on together and wanted to do something that involved the Arboretum and children.

This is just one project that will be completed by Lawrence Rotarians at the Arboretum this year. The place itself was made possible by the collaboration of all three Lawrence Rotary clubs, and by the great vision of the late George Woodyard. Since the Arboretum’s establishment in 2005, the city of Lawrence and representatives from the three Rotary clubs have worked together for continued improvement.

Back to the trail. To learn more, I met with Ann Frame Hertzog, who chairs the new member group.

“We have this nice, groomed area out here, and we want to create something a little more wild,” Hertzog says. “We want to get kids right up close with nature and make it interactive.”

When complete, the trail will include educational information

Phrenology, the study of the shape of the skull, supposedly could tell the shape of your brain and information about your behavior.

The “science” became popular about 1810, years after it was developed by German doctor Franz Joseph Gali, in 1796. It remained popular until about 1840 as a way to understand personality and to help with decisions when hiring employees or choosing a spouse. It is now considered a pseudoscience and ignored by the medical profession. Doctors today use brain scans that show areas where feelings of anger, sadness, fear or informationprocessing originate. So technology seems to have vindicated part of the theory of phrenology: It was right about areas of the brain, but wrong about the skull identifying the locations. You can still buy the icon of the phrenologist, a head marked with the various regions of the brain and the emotions controlled there.

A pair of old phrenologyhead inkwells sold for $1,750 at Doyle New York in April.

Each bald head was marked with the phrenologist's map and held a small inkwell in front of the neck.

Q:

I have a lamp with a leaded-glass shade on a tree-trunkshaped bronze base. I was told that it was made by a Cincinnati company, but it looks a lot like a Tiffany lamp. It is 16 inches high and is not marked. Was there a company in Cincinnati making leaded glass lamps, or is my history wrong?

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

about trees along the way, birds that trailwalkers might see, and other tidbits about plants and wildlife.

“It will mostly be a mowed path, but with taller grass on the sides of the trail,” Hertzog says.

“Down on the south end, we’ll put in a low bridge that kind of zigzags through the marshy area.”

The proposed name ties in with the multitude of bluebirds in the park. The birds are there presumably thanks to bluebird houses that are installed and maintained by another local community group.

Hertzog says her committee is working closely with Kansas University students who are members of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Max McGraw, Miles McGonigle, and Austin McDonald have been especially helpful in lending their expertise to the project.

More projects are on the horizon, too. Dave Ambler, who chairs the three-club committee that works with the city, says Rotarians want to build restrooms and a large picnic pavilion in the future. These are large-ticket items, so they are dependent on the groups’ fundraising efforts. In the meantime, Rotary clubs continue to work with the city each year to schedule tree plantings, flower planting days and other work and maintenance days at the Arboretum.

“After the initial opening, we realized that an Arboretum is a dynamic garden that needs continual loving care. So we have added additional items to the Arboretum such as the new entrance sign, a program platform, permanent tree markers, etc.” Ambler says. “And then

A:

There was a company called Cincinnati Artistic Wrought Iron Co., which was opened around 1910. The company used very colorful glass and its lamps were similar to Tiffany's, but they weren't quite as well-made. Bronze tree-trunk bases also were used by this company, an idea used earlier by Tiffany.

A Tiffany lamp probably would be signed, but we have not seen a signature on a Cincinnati Artistic Wrought Iron Co. lamp. Still, your lamp could sell at a retail price as high as $7,000.

Tip: Paper must “breathe.” Don't keep it in a sealed package. It will eventually become moldy.

A FLOWING STREAM empties into the lake at the Lawrence Rotary Arboretum, 5100 W. 27th St. The site is located next to the Clinton Lake Softball Complex and Youth Sports Complex, near the intersection of Wakarusa Drive and the K-10 bypass.

George and Eleanor Woodyard gave the lovely gazebo-garden at the edge of one of the two big ponds as a gift to Lawrence in celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary last June. Fortunately, it was all completed prior to his death last September.”

Ambler, like many others I have spoken to, notes that the Arboretum is a hidden jewel of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department. It is that, I believe, but as the trees and amenities continue to grow, I believe the Arboretum’s popularity will also expand.

For now, I walk the smooth

concrete path and enjoy the Arboretum’s serenity. I pass a mother with a stroller and toddler in tow, and stop to watch a group of children playing hopscotch as their parents picnic in the gazebo. A heron alights on the pond and I daydream about watching tadpoles from the new bridge along the Bluebird Nature Trail.

Take the time to thank dads today D e a r Re a d e rs : Happy Father’s Day to all the men in our reading audience who have enjoyed the pleasures and shouldered the responsibilities of raising children.

This includes fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers and those who have stepped in as father figures for those who needed them. Bless you all.

Having a loving father is not only one of life’s great joys, but these men also are tremendously important to a child’s emotional, academic and moral development.

Please take the time today to call Dad, stop by for a visit or send an e-mail card — whatever you can do to let him know you are thinking of him.

In honor of the occasion, here are some of our favorite poems about Dad:

My Father (author unknown) When I was: 4 years old: My daddy can do anything.

5 years old: My daddy knows a whole lot.

6 years old: My dad is smarter than your dad.

8 years old: My dad doesn’t know exactly everything.

10 years old: In the olden days when my dad grew up, things were sure different.

12 years old: Oh, well, naturally Dad doesn’t know any-

21 years old: Him? My Lord, he’s hopelessly out-of-date.

25 years old: Dad knows a little bit about it, but then he should, because he has been around so long.

30 years old: Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he’s had a lot of experience.

35 years old: I’m not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad. 40 years old: I wonder how Dad would have handled it.

He was so wise and had a world of experience.

50 years old: I’d give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him.

Too bad I didn’t appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.

Stakes high on ‘Falling Skies’ Summer hasn’t begun, but get ready for a new summer hit. “Falling Skies” (8 p.m., TNT) arrives with a two-hour pilot directed by Carl Franklin (”One False Move”). A combination of “War of the Worlds” and “Red Dawn,” this Steven Spielberg-produced thriller gets right to the point and never lets up.

“Skies” begins after aliens have invaded Earth, destroyed man’s military, destroyed or invaded most cities, killed most adults and begun taking over the planet’s young humans by attaching creepy bug-like creatures to their spines.

This complicated backstory is explained in about three minutes using a child’s classroom voiceover, accompanied by children’s drawings of the recent invasion, carnage and tragedy.

The classroom is run by the Massachusetts Second, a ragtag group of rebels commanded by hard-boiled Captain Weaver (Will Patton) and the thoughtful Tom Mason (Noah Wyle), a former history professor who’s on hand to remind us that the fighting takes place on some of the same ground as the early battles of the American Revolution.

Like Ann Glass (Moon Bloodgood), the resident physician, Tom has lost a spouse and a child to the invasion. His teenage son Hal (Drew Roy) has joined the insurgency, while 8-year-old Matt (Maxim Knight) still pines for the days of birthday parties and normalcy. But even Matt knows that the alien critters are out to put a bug on his spine and turn him into some kind of traitor/zombie, lost to the human cause.

Like the best sci-fi and war movies, “Skies” has a low-budget feel. Scenes involving the monstrous aliens are few but effective. We aren’t bludgeoned with special effects.

The struggle here is basic, blunt and brutal. This is our land and they want to take it. And the task is to kill them, or at least enough of them so they decide to go home and leave us alone.

The show and its hero Tom Mason betray only one moment of doubt. That’s when the professor explains his Revolutionary War theory to a rogue outlaw (Colin Cunningham), who then challenges Mason with an analogy all his own.

Perhaps, he suggests, the humans aren’t the irregular rebels of Bunker Hill at all.

They just might be America’s native population, driven to near-extinction by an invasion of people who never failed to think of themselves as the good guys.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Wayne Brady hosts the 38th annual Daytime Emmy Awards (7 p.m., CBS). ● David Suchet returns to his signature role on “Poirot XI: Three Act Tragedy” on “Masterpiece Mystery!” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings). ● The 35th annual AFI Life Achievement Award (8 p.m., TV Land) salutes Morgan Freeman. ● Andy Cohen and Giuliana Rancic host the 2011 Miss USA Pageant (8 p.m., NBC). ● A new king emerges in the north on the season finale of “Game of Thrones” (8 p.m., HBO). ● Evidence connects the campaign and the murder on the season finale of “The Killing” (9 p.m., AMC). ● Davis feels overshadowed by his protege on “Treme” (9 p.m., HBO). ● A famous father and daughter try to reconcile, on camera, on “Ryan and Tatum: The O’Neals” (9 p.m., OWN).
