ROBERT HARDER, WHO IS THE LONGEST-SERVING SRS SECRETARY IN STATE HISTORY, speaks to a crowd of about 150 people during a meeting of the Douglas County Democratic Party on Saturday at the Lawrence Public Library. Harder said the prevailing political climate at the Statehouse represented a departure from decades of bipartisan support for social services. Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration recently moved to close the SRS office in Lawrence.

For example, Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said police must have a social worker accompany them if they go into a school to interview an alleged victim of sexual abuse.

“I’m just very fearful that we are going to miss a lot of people who are in need of care,” Branson said. “We have children going through horrific instances in their lives, and we have small windows to go in and make a difference, and the governor and secretary have closed that win-

He said that without the timely availability of an SRS social worker, the child could face having to return to his or her abuser at the end of the school day before police could intervene.

Although a portion of the street’s name has changed, the line splitting attendance areas for Lawrence’s two public high schools remains the same as it’s always been.

But the overall number and characteristics of students on each side of the dividing line — 15th Street/Bob Billings Parkway — are shifting, and that’s catching the attention of SCHOOLS members of the Lawrence school board.

Determining just how students are assigned to Free State and Lawrence high schools, and from where, is poised to be among issues at least discussed as board members determine their goals for the coming year.

“When 15th Street was set up as a boundary, it made perfect sense,” said Bob Byers, entering his third year on the board. “But it’s different now. We need to figure out the best way to do that.

It’s no longer as simple as drawing a line down the middle of Lawrence, and now we’re all equal. You can’t do that.

“It’ll take some looking at, and making some purposeful decisions about what we should do.”

The concern — one brought up during previous board meetings and poised to arise in future ones — is “the whole separate-butPlease see BOUNDARY, page 2A ● Cafeteria needs up for board approval. Page 7A

Clyde Bysom was already working for Boeing building B-29 bombers in Wichita when he enlisted in the Air Force in 1944.

Along with other veterans, the 93-year-old Lawrence resident will get to relive his days as a tail gunner in World War II when “Fifi,”

the only still-flying B-29, comes to the New Century AirCenter in Gardner this week.

Bysom was stationed on the island of Tinian in the Northern Marianas at the end of the war.

From there, he would wake at 4 a.m. for the 13-hour round trip to make bombing runs over Japan.

He spent most of that time alone in a cramped compartment at the back of the plane, wrapped in a flak blanket with his gun.

“I read the Bible quite a lot, especially during missions” to pass the time 30,000 feet in the air, Bysom said. “We would take turns sleeping.”

Each 5.5-ton bomb — the plane carried only one per mission — could level 18 city blocks, Bysom said. His missions aimed for industrial targets such as supply depots and railroad yards.

His crew’s B-29, “Some Punkins,” named after its round, orange

bombs, may have flown the final combat mission of the war, targeting the Nagoya Arsenal. Just after they dropped their bomb, they heard over the radio that the war was over.

“We had just left the coast of Japan,” Bysom said. “It took a little while to sink in (but) we were sort of expecting it. The war was winding down.”

Brownback CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“We are moving in the right direction — and that’s good and we’ve got some great announcements on the way, but we have a lot of work to do to make up for that lost decade,” he said.

The job numbers Brownback calls 2001-2011 a lost decade because he says there are fewer private sector jobs now in Kansas than there were in 2001.

But even Brownback’s chart shows that private sector jobs were on the rise until the Great Recession hit and the job numbers cratered.

And of the jobs that Brownback claims to have brought to Kansas, many were already in the works when he took off ice, according to the Kansas Democratic Party.

For example, Brownback includes the 200 jobs coming from the announcement that Mars Chocolate is building a manufacturing plant in Topeka.

Negotiations for that facility started months before Brownback took office, said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka.

Many of the jobs Brownback lists as having helped create are due to highway spending that is supported by a tax increase that Brownback criticized during his election campaign.

Democrats say Brownback has focused on issues besides the economy.

“Instead of creating jobs, growing the economy and supporting education as he promised during the election, Sam Brownback has used his position as governor to dismantle state government and push through his extreme right-

equal thing,” Byers said: ensuring that prog rams, resources, facilities, instruction and other matters at each campus are comparable.

When one school ends up with too many students, or too many from minority ethnic groups or too many with relatively low incomes, Byers said, keeping resources equal becomes increasingly difficult.

“You’re consistently fighting that balance,” said Byers, who works as a system program administrator for child support enforcement with the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. “We’re going to have to keep fighting it, but it would behoove the district to set up a structure for how to make those decisions.

“We need a lot more data and a lot more discussion.”

Among the population trends at the two schools, from the opening of Free State in 1997 and recent years:

Enrollment While the two schools started out with a large overall imbalance — Free State opened with 869, while Lawrence High had 1,261 — that could be attributed to a major policy allowance: seniors could choose to stay at Lawrence High to graduate.

At the sophomore and junior levels, the enrollment was essentially balanced: Free State had 749, while Lawrence High had 780.

These days, Lawrence High has an even higher share of high schoolers: 1,206, compared with 1,064 at Free State.

The spread will be expected to widen this fall with the arrival of ninth-graders on each campus.

Demographics In 1997, the two schools were relatively close in two key demographic categories: ● Minorities enrolled, with Lawrence High at 18.7 percent and Free State at 16.9 percent. ● Students receiving free and reduced-price lunches, an indication of family income, with Lawrence High at 18.1 percent and Free State at 14.3 percent.

These days those spreads have widened, and others tracked using data collected by the Kansas State Depart-

wing agenda,” Hensley said.

The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.2 percent in February and fell to 6.6 percent in May. According to the Kansas Department of Labor’s latest report for the month of May, the state had lost 7,200 nonfarm jobs since May 2010. Private sector jobs were down by 400 since May 2010.

Activist governor Regardless of one’s opinions about Brownback’s tenure, the governor has hit the ground running, according to students of Kansas governors.

“He has raised the bar on the level of activity,” said Ed Flentje, a longtime Kansas political observer and participant who is serving as the interim president of Emporia State University.

Brownback has used executive orders to shape government, is pushing to overhaul the tax code and has put his weight behind what he calls “culture of life” issues.

Comparing Brownback to former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who served from 2003 to 2009 before joining President Barack Obama’s cabinet, Flentje said, “The first year of Sebelius’ term, I thought was characterized by caution. I think the term that characterizes Brownback is aggressive.”

Sebelius, a Democrat, faced Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and she needed a coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans to get things done.

Brownback rode into office on a tidal wave of conservatism that gave him strong support in the House. The Senate, which was up for election in 2010, is held by moderate Republicans by a slim margin.

ment of Education show a disparity.

Lawrence High, when compared with Free State, now has more minorities (25.3 percent to 21.2 percent); more economically disadvantaged students (38.6 percent to 25.6 percent); more English language learners (5.8 percent to 2.5 percent); and more students with disabilities (19.6 percent to 15.2 percent).

Attendance and graduation Back in 1997, the two schools were virtually identical in terms of how many of their students showed up each day for school and how many ended up receiving their diplomas: Lawrence High recorded an average daily attendance of 97.04 percent, compared with 96.77 percent at Free State; Lawrence High’s graduation rate was 86.6 percent, compared with Free State at 86 percent.

Nowadays, those rates have diverged: Lawrence High’s average daily attendance was 87.9 percent last year, compared with 92.8 percent at Free State; and Lawrence High had 20.1 percent of its students not graduating, compared with 7.2 percent at Free State.

Looking ahead Board members have discussed such trends in the past, and undoubtedly will do so again. Monday night, the seven-member board will welcome four new faces elected in April — Rick Ingram, Shannon Kimball, Randy Masten and Keith Diaz Moore — and they will be scheduled to discuss plans for conducting a goals-setting session in the coming weeks.

Whenever the session is scheduled, Byers plans to bring up the high school boundary as something he’d like the board to address.

Whether that’s during the coming year, the next year or the year after that remains to be seen, he said, but he does know at least one thing for certain.

“At some point the district needs to have that struggle,” Byers said. “And it will be a struggle.”

OTHER CONTACTS Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

ERNIE DYER, LAWRENCE, FAR LEFT, A FORMER SRS WORKER, MAKES A SUGGESTION for people to write Gov. Sam Brownback and ask him to close the SRS office in Overland Park instead of the Lawrence office Saturday at a Douglas County Democratic Party meeting at the Lawrence Public Library.

SRS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

P ublic Library that was attended by a packed crowd of about 150 people, many of whom had to stand or sit in adjacent rooms.

Those in attendance expressed anger and shock at the Brownback administration’s decision announced July 1 to close nine SRS offices, with Lawrence being the largest one by far. The closures would take effect within three months. Siedlecki has said the 87 employees will be able to get jobs at other SRS offices.

Brownback and Siedlecki have said the closures are needed to save money during tight budget times, and that those receiving SRS services in Lawrence can continue to get assistance by accessing services online or traveling to offices in Topeka, Overland Park or Ottawa. Brownback has noted that Lawrence is served by several four-lane roads.

Many at the meeting said that was unrealistic.

Gayle Sigurdson, of Lawrence, said she thought the closure of SRS offices was intended to cut state spending by making it more diffi-

Back on Tinian, he joined in celebrations by playing his tenor sax, which he still plays Thursday nights at the American Legion with the Junkyard Jazz Band. After the war, he worked as machinist at the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant near De Soto and later for the Reuter Pipe Organ Co. in Lawrence.

Tom Kugler, 90, of Lawrence, enlisted in the Army Air Corps after high school in 1939 and was trained as a bombardier, but he never saw combat. He flew various planes while stationed in Florida and patrolled the Caribbean for 18 months during the war.

Later, he trained on the B29 at Great Bend Army Airfield in central Kansas. His crew, once slated to go to the Pacific soon after Pearl Harbor, did not go overseas, and he was out of the service by the end of the war.

“When I was young and foolish, we wanted to kill everybody and save the world,” Kugler said. “Now when I look back, I’m so happy I wasn’t involved in all that.”

The war was already over when Eldon Felix, 84, of Ottawa, arrived at Okinawa, where he was a mechanic on the ground crew of a B-29. “It was great working on the B29,” he said. “We had very little problem with it.”

But when its missions ceased, Felix was put in charge of a 12-person Japanese prisoner work crew. One

cult for people to get help.

She also said the way Siedlecki announced the closures without any public meetings to gain input was a “suspension of the Democratic process.”

“These closures were made without public comment or participation of our local legislators and without any formal appeals process,” she said.

She said she feared Brownback’s statement on Friday when he said he may consider options to the closures was “lip service.”

The meeting was put on by the Douglas County Democratic Party. Former SRS Secretary Robert Harder had been scheduled to speak several weeks ago, prior to the announced closures.

Harder, who is the longestserving SRS secretary in state history, said the prevailing political climate at the Statehouse represented a departure from decades of bipartisan support for social services.

Of the past legislative session, which produced massive cuts to social services, he said, “I would have to say, without question, it was absolutely the meanest, toughest session that I have observed in my 50 years” of being around Kansas politics.

He said the assertion that people could receive SRS

of the captives secretly fashioned a B-29 model out of plastic to give to Felix in appreciation for a steady supply of cigarettes. It’s a memento he still keeps and displays.

“He handed it to me and bowed,” Felix recalled. “He was very friendly even though we couldn’t understand each other.”

Of his experience in the war, Felix said, “I’m glad I had it, but I wouldn’t want to do it again.”

Rides on Fifi, as well as other planes, are available from Friday to July 17 during the annual Air Expo put on by the Heart of America wing of the Commemorative Air Force, an organization that restores old military planes.

According to Bysom, B-29s were “very comfortable when everything worked.”

But Kugler isn’t interested in going back in time.

“I wouldn’t take a ride if they offered it to me,” he said.

“I don’t want to fly around in some antique.”

Still, he considers his time flying the best years of his life.

“It was all a great experience, and I would do it again,” he said.

Fifi, most recently restored last year, is touring the country. It will arrive from Colorado at the Gardner airport about 11 a.m. Thursday. After the expo, it will go on to Oshkosh, Wis., for the country’s biggest air show, the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

The B-29 rides range in price from $595 to $1,495. For more information, call 432-4134100 or go to RideB29.com.

services online was not plausible. Applications for medical assistance are not available online, and the application for cash assistance is 16 pages long, he said.

Harder added that social service advocates are not opposed to change but they want change in a careful, thought-out way.

Steve Ruttinger, of Lawrence, said he was dismayed by the Brownback administration’s layoffs of experienced staff at SRS and replacing them with those lacking experience.

“They profess this connection to God, but there is nothing Christian about it,” he said.

The Democratic members of the Douglas County legislative delegation urged the crowd to continue to contact Brownback’s office to voice their disapproval and attend Monday’s meeting at 7 p.m. at Plymouth Congregational Church to discuss ways to try to reverse the closure decision.

“People in government make mistakes from time to time and they need to be called on it, and this is a classic example,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence.

Earthquake rocks tsunami-weary Japan A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 hit Japan’s northeastern coast today, prompting a brief tsunami warning for the area still recovering from a devastating quake and killer wave four months ago.

Residents in coastal areas were warned to evacuate for about two hours after the quake, but there were no immediate reports of damage.

The quake hit at 9:57 local time, and a warning of a tsunami was issued for most of the northeastern coastline. The epicenter of the quake was in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan’s main island, Honshu, at a depth of about 20 miles.

Japanese officials predicted the quake could generate tsunami of up to 20 inches, but the initial waves were only about 4 inches. The tsunami warning was lifted after the forecast arrival time of the waves passed in most areas without any tsunami being recorded.

Japan’s Meteorological agency at first estimated the strength of the quake at 7.1, but later revised that to 7.3.

Panetta: Al-Qaida defeat is close Al-Qaida’s defeat is “within reach,” U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Saturday during his first visit to Afghanistan as Pentagon chief. He said eliminating as few as 10 of the group’s top figures could cripple its ability to strike the West.

Panetta’s assessment could stoke the debate in Washington over how soon to pull the U.S. military from the land where Osama bin Laden’s network launched the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, against the United States. Some question why a continued military commitment is necessary if al-Qaida’s end is in sight, given that it was the reason the U.S. began the war.

Although not as specific as Panetta about what it will take to break al-Qaida, the top American commander in Afghanistan said in a separate interview that he agrees the group is on the ropes.

“There has been enormous damage done to alQaida” beyond bin Laden’s killing May 2 in Pakistan.

Army Gen. David Petraeus said. “That has very significantly disrupted their efforts and it does hold the prospect of a strategic defeat, if you will, a strategic dismantling, of al-Qaida.”

More than 1,600 arrested in protests At least 20,000 Malaysians defied government warnings by marching for electoral reforms Saturday, as police fired tear gas and detained more than 1,600 in the country’s biggest political rally in four years.

The crackdown on the opposition-backed demonstration in Malaysia’s main city, Kuala Lumpur, triggered criticism that Prime Minister Najib Razak’s long-ruling coalition was unwilling to allow public dissent or make election laws fairer ahead of national polls widely expected by mid-2012.

Najib’s administration declared the rally illegal and warned people repeatedly over the past month to avoid it. Officials insisted it was simply an opposition scheme to spark chaos and stir anti-government sentiment, while activists accused authorities of being afraid of a protest that could undermine their authority.

Tabloid bids farewell to readers Britain’s best-selling Sunday tabloid the News of the World signed off with a simple front page message — “THANK YOU & GOODBYE” — leaving the media establishment here reeling from the expanding phone-hacking scandal that brought down the muckraking newspaper after 168 years.

Journalists crafted the newspaper’s own obituary before sending the tabloid’s final edition to the printing presses Saturday night, apologizing for letting its readers down but stopping short of acknowledging recent allegations that staff paid police for information.

“We praised high standards, we demanded high standards but, as we are now only too painfully aware, for a period of a few years up to 2006 some who worked for us, or in our name, fell shamefully short of those standards,” read a message posted on the tabloid’s website. “Quite simply, we lost our way.

Phones were hacked, and for that this newspaper is truly sorry.”

Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp. media empire owns the paper, will arrive in London today on a scheduled visit, a person familiar with his itinerary told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

The annual institute at KU draws some of the top young musicians from around the world.

Piano prodigies present world-class competition

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

The names of the finalists were written in time signatures and tempo Saturday afternoon for the International Institute for Young Musicians International Piano Competition.

Spooner Hall on the Kansas University campus filled with the energy and emotion of 12 talented young pianists from across the country and around the world. The IIYM Summer Music Academy program has been instructing musicians of the highest caliber in Lawrence for years.

This summer’s competition featured two Lawrence contestants in 13-year-old Chaeyoung Park and 18-year-old Luke Rhodes. Rhodes, who operates his own music education studio, said the music that contestants played was more than notes on a page.

“This is personal for everyone,” he said. “We spend enough time with these pieces that these are kind of like friends; they’re kind of like people. I know these pieces.”

IIYM SCHEDULE Today: International Piano Competition Finals, 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. at Spooner Hall, 1340 Jayhawk Blvd. Event is free and open to the public.

Finalists: Lorraine Marie Chung, Anna Han, Albert Wang, Jonathan Mamora, Chaeyoung Park and Yang Ming Tian Zhao.

July 16: Winners Concert for the International Piano Competition.

Tickets are $10 at the door.

That truth was evident Saturday, as each performer played from memory. Fingers seemed to float effortlessly across the keys of black and white as the contestants worked through their individual repertoires.

“You can see the kids just love it so much,” said KU alumnus and IIYM President Scott McBride Smith. “They’re totally into it every single minute.”

To the casual listener, every piece played is impressive. Susan Elkins, wife of KU professor and

competition judge Jack Winerock, sat along Saturday with dozens of other music enthusiasts.

“They all sound wonderful to me,” Elkins said.

Winerock, though, has a different perspective on the process. As one of five judges with extremely well-trained ears, he picks up on the artistic personality and poetry in each piece. The judges, all decorated pianists themselves, took in every keystroke and crescendo before they selected the six finalists who will perform this afternoon.

The finals will include contestants from Australia, Singapore, California, Ohio and Arizona. They will be joined by Lawrence’s Park.

And though Rhodes did not hear his name called for the final day of the competition, he said it wasn’t all the contest was about.

“It’s not like you’re running a race where there’s a clear winner,” Rhodes said. “It’s art.”

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Each year, the city of Lawrence hauls away between 10,000 and 15,000 tons of yard trimmings. Yet much of that waste would actually be better left on the lawn.

To just mow the grass and let it lie is easier than bagging grass clippings and lugging them to the curb, and, if done right, it is also healthier for your lawn.

The concept is known as grasscycling, and it might be a practice that some have been

unknowingly doing for years.

For others, it can be a cringeinducing idea.

“It has been a tradition for the past 20 to 30 years to trim very low and then rake up all the grass clippings. It’s very neat and tidy and very suburban,” said Cassandra Ford, a recycling

specialist for the city’s Waste, Reduction and Recycling division. “But we are starting to realize that if cut a little bit higher that the grass doesn’t burn quite as easily, and it doesn’t require as much water.”

Grass clippings contain 85 to 90 percent water and decompose quickly, returning moisture to the soil. Along with moisture, the clippings provide added nutrients, meaning lawn owners have to fertilize about 25 percent less or sometimes not at all.

Please see GRASS, page 5A

“

We try to encourage people (to grasscycle). It’s changing people’s minds on how they have done something for years on end. It’s a slow process getting people to realize that there are better ways of doing things.”

I’ve seen signs up on the soccer and ballLAWRENCE f ields at Quail Run School that Roundup was sprayed on July 3. Did someone need permission to spray on public school property?

Did they get it? If so, who gave it?

“Commercially available Roundup is the only herbicide authorized by the Lawrence public schools for use on school property,” said Tom Bracciano, division director of facilities and maintenance for the Lawrence school district.

“District procedures also dictate the placing of warning signs anytime it is used. Our department gave permission for the spraying of the infields on the ball diamonds at Quail Run as part of improvements being made to those fields, with labor and materials donated by a Girl Scout troop affiliated with the school.”

Most landscape and lawn maintenance companies are converts to grasscycling or mulch mowing (which uses a special kind of mower to cut grass clippings even smaller).

Chas Benton, maintenance supervisor for Lawrence Landscape, said about 90 percent of lawns are mulchmowed.

WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THE CASES Additional information about the cases provided in past media accounts: ● Sometimes a knife or gun is used during the attacks. ● At least the first five crimes in Manhattan occurred in secondfloor apartments. ● Victims’ ages ranged from late teens to late 20s. ● Some victims were college students. ● First three crimes occurred at the same apartment complex in

Manhattan. ● All crimes occurred during some sort of college break. ● All of the crimes — except for one — occurred between the hours of 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. ● One incident involved two victims. ● In at least one case, the victim was blindfolded during the attack. ● No information has been provided by police about any forensic evidence left at the crime scenes.

eral’s Office. Some of that information was provided by police when the crimes were reported, but in other cases limited details were given.

Police have said that, based on the pattern of the crimes, they believe one suspect is responsible for the assaults.

Wagaman said 1,100 investigation hours — among Riley County, Lawrence and attorney general staff — have been logged in the investigation so far.

“We usually try to convince customers when we take on a new mowing account,” Benton said. “Most people just want it mowed so it’s not a problem for them.”

For Ron Baker, owner of Willowridge Landscape, about 99 percent of his customers say they are OK with leaving the grass clippings behind.

“If you follow the rules and do it right, it can be real beneficial to the yard. It puts nitrogen back into the soil,” Baker said.

Still, grass clippings continue to flow into the city’s composting facility to the tune of about 10,000 to 15,000 tons of yard trimmings each year.

“If the majority would (grasscycle) that number would go down,” Ford said.

In Kansas, about 1.45 million tons of grass clippings go to landfills each year, which

makes up about 5 percent of the total waste that ends up in landfills.

The Kansas Green Team, a state agency, encourages employers and schools to become more sustainable.

The agency notes grasscycling saves on the cost of purchasing bags and the gas needed to transport those bags from your home to the landfill or composting facility.

And grasscycling can save on time. While homeowners might have to mow more frequently with grasscycling, they don’t have to worry about raking the lawn or dealing with the bags. And grasscycling can replace one fertilizing application per year.

“It’s quite a bit easier,” Ford said.

Tips for grasscycling: Take it easy on yourself, your lawn 1. Don’t cut the grass too short. For standard residential grass, roots tend to be as long as the actual blade of grass. So keeping grass cut short, about an inch tall, burns it in the sun. Grass that is a little longer requires less water and fertilizer. If you need to, reset the cutting height on your lawn mower.

Here are the recommended mowing heights for Kansas lawns: Bermuda grass: 1 to 2 inches Zoysias grass: 1 to 3 inches Buffalo grass: 1.5 to 3 inches Ryegrass: 2 to 3 inches Bluegrass: 2 to 3 inches Tall fescue: 2 to 3.5 inches.

2. No more than a third of the blade of grass should be cut off at a time. That means if the grass is 3 inches tall, you don’t want to take more than an inch off. Around this time of year,

Willowridge Landscape owner Ron Baker said, most lawns should be cut at about the 3-inch mark. Cutting more than a third of the blade of grass off slows the root growth and prevents the grass clippings from settling into the soil.

3. Cut the grass regularly. If the grass clippings form windrows, the grass was too tall, Baker said. The clippings should be dispersed evenly over the top of the grass. If the grass is too long, it becomes heavy, doesn’t decompose as well and can smother the grass underneath it.

Grass that is cut too long can result in fungal growth, such as thatch. Grasscycling means you might have to cut the grass once or twice a week.

4. Keep the mower blades sharp. According to the Kansas Green Team, sharp blades cut

the grass cleanly, which helps ensure rapid healing and regrowth. Dull blades will tear and bruise the grass. Sharp blades also take less energy to cut the grass.

5. If you need a new mower, consider purchasing a mulching mower. Any mower can be used to grasscycle. But a mulching mower recuts the grass into smaller pieces, which makes it easier for them to sift down into the lawn.

6. If grasscycling isn’t for you, consider placing the grass clippings into a homemade composting pile. The third option in Lawrence is to place your clippings in cans, carts or compostable bags and set them out for pickup. The city of Lawrence picks up yard trimmings on Monday from March through December.

Postponed helicopter inspections of county buildings rescheduled for today Douglas County officials will be conducting a rescheduled infrared mission today to survey the roofs of the following buildings: ● Judicial & Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St. ● Douglas County Jail, 3601 E. 25th St. ● Douglas County Fairgrounds, Building 21, 2120 Harper St. ● Douglas County Youth Services, 330 Industrial Lane In order to capture the imagery needed, the county’s contractor, Infrared Concept

Corporation, will fly a helicopter over these buildings both during the day and at night.

Daytime hours will be 11:15 a.m. to 3 p.m., and nighttime hours are 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

The helicopter captures

images of buildings, which all have flat roofs, to help county officials gauge the conditions of them from year-to-year for minor repairs. The flights were originally scheduled for July 1 but were postponed because of windy conditions.

Police to learn how to better take mental health calls

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Lawrence police respond to a variety of mental healthrelated calls on a daily basis — everything from welfare checks to suicide attempts.

The department will be beefing up training — known as Crisis Intervention Training, or CIT — to help officers deal with those type of calls, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Matt Sarna.

The push for increased training was initiated when Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib received a question about CIT in an online discussion on LJWorld.com.

Since then, Khatib and Sarna have been meeting with community groups, such as the Recovery and Hope Network, to discuss details of the training.

Officers can be trained at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center, and those officers can then train other officers, reducing the overall cost of the program, Sarna said.

Rick Cagan, director of Kansas chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, advocates for an increase in CIT training statewide, and he said training is gaining momentum nationally.

CIT teaches officers the signs and symptoms of mental illness, as well as techniques to defuse violent situations, he said.

“It makes their job easier,” said Cagan of the skills officers learn during training.

Sarna said the goal is to have all Lawrence Police officers go through some form of CIT. “It’s positive for everyone,” he said.

U.S. Highway 24 ● Intermittent lane closures near U.S. Highway 24 and Airport Road as crews install sanitary sewer collection holding system. Completion: early August.

U.S. Highway 59 ● North 200 Road closed at U.S. Highway 59 for frontage road construction work. Completion: late 2012.

Cafeteria needs up for board approval

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Four new members of the Lawrence school board will get an opportunity to approve some new purchases to accommodate new students arriving at recently reconfigured schools for the upcoming school year.

Monday night, board members will consider spending nearly $64,000 on new tables and chairs to be used in the cafeterias at Free State and Lawrence high schools, which will open in August as four-year high schools.

By moving ninth-graders onto the campuses, the district has found itself buying more lockers, purchasing new equipment and hiring contractors to expand and adjust classrooms and other

Vigil held in honor of student killed in crash

By Shawn Linenberger slinenberger@theworldco.info

Whether early morning or as the sun was setting, friends and family were honoring a Tonganoxie High School student Saturday.

Kylee Wilson, a 16-year-old Leavenworth girl, died Thursday in a rollover accident on U.S. Highway 24-40 east of 150th Street near Basehor.

Saturday morning, a few friends put crosses and flowers at the accident site.

Rebekah Adcox, a dance team member with Wilson, was one of Wilson’s friends who visited the site Saturday morning.

She talked about there not being a “guidebook” to dealing with such tragedies, but that community members could find strength in each other.

Adcox reiterated that thought Saturday night at a candlelight vigil outside Tonganoxie High School as friends, one by one, took the

microphone and spoke about Wilson.

But as Adcox talked about Wilson always having a big smile, she also shared that Wilson was small in stature.

Adcox said Wilson occasionally would jump inside a teammate’s duffel bag — and fit.

“Any small space no one else would fit, she would fit,” Adcox said.

Tears were met with laughs as friends shared their stories.

The common message: It was hard to find a time when Wilson wasn’t smiling or making others smile.

More than 150 people gathered for the vigil in which purple ribbons — it was Wilson’s favorite color — were handed out. Bracelets also have been ordered that read “R.I.P. Kylee Wilson.”

Proceeds from the bracelets will go toward Team Tongie, a nonprofit organization created in 2009 to help families in the

Tonganoxie community facing serious health issues.

The vigil concluded with those attending forming a large circle, hand-in-hand, for a final prayer.

Thursday’s accident happened around 3 p.m. Wilson was following a Ford SUV driven by another THS student, Jacob R. Lynch, when she lost control of the GMC Envoy she was driving, Kansas Highway Patrol reports said.

As Mariana Zylstra walked across the stage as a new graduate of Free State High School in 1999, she had no idea that she would become a professional dancer in Brazil.

She and her husband, Slleyk, will be featured on Monday’s edition of “Dance the World” on the Travel Channel. The show airs at 9 p.m. on Knology Channel 67.

“Against my father’s advice to take a couple months to decide what I really wanted, … I put my shades on and headed to Arizona State University in search of what I wanted to be, who I was and who I would become,” Zylstra said.

At ASU she started off as an architect major because she loved art and “was good at math, so I figured it was a good match,” Zylstra said.

However, Zylstra would not stay committed to the architecture world for long and graduated from ASU with a degree in plant biology and medicinal remedies in 2003.

Zylstra wanted to attend a naturopathic medical school, but did not have the funds and found a job as an administrative assistant at the Fannie Mae Arizona Community

Business Center.

“It was at this time that I was first introduced to capoeira,” Zylstra said. “I was earning good money and dancing on the side as a hobby.”

After seeing Zylstra in action, the dance director asked her to lead the group while she was away.

Zylstra “eagerly agreed,” and although she did not know it at the time, this would be one of the best decisions of her life.

Dance took Zylstra to heights and places her imagination could not have even prepared her for.

“It’s funny how certain things just seem to happen.

Looking back it almost seems like it was meant to be, but at the time I was devastated,” Zylstra said.

She was “devastated” because she lost her job at Fannie Mae because of the recent housing crisis, but she used money from her severance package to pay for a trip to Brazil.

She had met her husband taking lessons from Rosangela Silvestre, and learned much more as she adjusted to the everyday life of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.

“I met my husband, Slleyk da Bahia, and I fell in love with his ‘alegria’ or happiness and

his philosophy of life,” Zylstra said.

Zylstra is now 29 and pursuing her master’s degree in dance. She is fluent in Portuguese; has created two dance companies, three websites and a clothing company; and currently works as a translator/interpreter communications director “while

DEBT SHOWDOWN

Amputee dies after roller coaster accident DARIEN, N.Y. — A U.S. Army veteran who lost both legs in Iraq and had been trying to rebuild his life was killed after he was thrown from a roller coaster at an upstate New York amusement park.

Teams of inspectors on Saturday were examining the Ride of Steel coaster at the Darien Lake Theme Park Resort, about 30 miles east of Buffalo.

Sgt. James Thomas Hackemer, 29, was ejected from the 208-foot-tall ride early Friday evening after climbing aboard during a family outing. Authorities and a park spokeswoman declined to say at what point in the ride the accident occurred.

The wounded veteran was missing all of his left leg and most of his right one, as well as part of a hip, because of a roadside bomb. He had only recently returned for good to his parents’ home in Gowanda following years in and out of rehabilitation at hospitals around the northeast U.S. It wasn’t immediately clear whether attendants at the theme park had given any thought to barring Hackemer from the ride because of his missing limbs.

Boehner to seek smaller $2T deal

By Andrew Taylor and Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press Writers

W A S H I N G T O N — House Republican budget negotiators have abandoned plans to pursue a massive $4 trillion, 10-year def icit reduction package in the face of stiff GOP opposition to any plan that would increase taxes as part of the deal.

House Speaker John Boehner informed President Barack Obama Saturday that a smaller agreement of Boehner about $2 trillion was more realistic.

In a statement issued Saturday evening, Boehner said: “Despite good-faith efforts to find common ground, the White House will not pursue a bigger debt reduction agreement without tax hikes.”

U.S. could suspend some aid to Pakistan WASHINGTON — A report says the U.S. could suspend hundreds of millions in military aid to Pakistan unless the two countries’ fractured relations improve and Pakistan pursues militant groups more aggressively.

The New York Times is reporting that the Obama administration is upset with Pakistan for expelling American military trainers and wants tougher action against the Taliban and others fighting American soldiers in Afghanistan.

It cites anonymous officials saying up to $800 million in military assistance and equipment could be affected. They say equipment deliveries and aid would probably resume if U.S.Pakistani relations improve and Pakistan proves its commitment to counterterrorism efforts.

reduce the debt by $4 trillion over 10 years. But from the moment he proposed it, Republicans said they would reject any tax increases and Democrats objected to spending cuts in some of their most prized benef it programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers led by Vice President Joe Biden had already identified, but not signed off on, about $2 trillion in deficit reductions, most accomplished through spending cuts.

But after holding a secret meeting with Boehner last weekend, Obama and his top aides said they believed an even bigger figure was attainable if both parties made politically painful, but potentially historic, choices.

In the end, the pressure from both sides was pushing against Obama’s bigger goal.

“I believe the best approach may be to focus on producing a smaller measure, based on the cuts identified in the Biden-led negotiations, that still meets our call for spending reforms and cuts greater than the amount of any debt limit increase,” Boehner said.

White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said that Obama intended to continue to push for as big a deficit reduction number as possible and that tax revenue be part of the mix.

“The president believes that solving our fiscal problems is an economic imperative. But in order to do that, we cannot ask the middle-class and seniors to bear all the burden of higher costs and budget cuts,” Pfeiffer said. “We need a balanced approach that asks the very wealthiest and special interests to pay their fair share as well, and we believe the American people agree.”

Betty Ford services to be in California, Michigan

By Phil Willon McClatchy Newspapers

PALM DESERT, CALIF. — A private memorial for former first lady Betty Ford will be held in Palm Desert, Calif., on Tuesday, with a eulogy to be delivered by former first lady Rosalynn Carter, before her remains are flown to Michigan and laid to rest beside her husband, a family representative said Saturday.

Ford, 93, died of natural causes Friday afternoon, surrounded by family members at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif. She had been hospitalized with a brief illness but, contrary to some news reports, did not suffer a stroke, said Greg Willard, the Fords’ longtime attorney.

“I wanted to express the gratitude and thanks of the Ford family for the magnificent outpouring of sympathy that they have received literally from around the world.

It’s been, quite frankly, heartwarming beyond measure,”

Willard said during an afternoon news conference.

Details of Ford’s illness were not released, and no family members attended the news conference.

Tuesday’s memorial will begin at 11:20 a.m. at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Palm Desert. Eulogies will be given by Carter, news commentator Cokie Roberts and Geoffrey Mason, director of the Betty Ford Center.

A public repose will be held at the church starting at 3 p.m., with shuttles provided from the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

As the wife of Gerald R. Ford, the nation’s 38th president, Betty Ford was an outspoken advocate for women’s rights and health.

She is known worldwide for the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, a treatment center for alcohol and chemical dependency that she founded after overcoming her own addiction to painkillers.

Scheduled U.S. exit may doom Iraq

EDITORIALS

Regents boost Three new members appointed on Friday are a welcome shot in the arm for the Kansas Board of Regents.

I

t’s not likely to be business as usual at the Kansas Board of Regents now that Gov. Sam Brownback has made his first appointments to this extremely important board.

Friday morning, the governor appointed Kenny Wilk of Lansing, Fred Logan Jr. of Leawood and Robba Moran of Hays as new members of the nine-person board that oversees the state’s universities, community colleges and vocational-technical schools.

The governor is permitted to have the majority of the board be of his own political party and Wilk, Logan and Moran all are Republicans. The remaining six members of the board were appointed by former governors Sebelius and Parkinson, both Democrats.

Too often, in past years, governors have used a regents appointment, one of the governor’s most prestigious appointments, as a means of saying “thank you” or to repay an IOU to someone who has been helpful to his or her election campaign.

Brownback’s critics may claim he has continued this policy, but, hopefully, the three new appointees will prove to be the start of a new era that makes the regents appointment exercise far more than a political payoff.

Few individuals in the state have the knowledge of state government or as much respect from state lawmakers as does Wilk, a former member of the Kansas House. He received his bachelor’s degree from Ottawa University and worked for Hallmark Cards before retiring in 2009. He was one of the principal architects of the Kansas Bioscience Authority and is recognized as being able to recognize problems and challenges and figure out a way to address them.

There is no question that he will keep the chancellor, presidents and provosts of the state universities on their toes. He will expect top performances, will not accept weak excuses and is sure to keep the regents far better informed about what is going on at the schools under their supervision.

Fred Logan, a successful Johnson County attorney, is a former chairman of the Republican State Committee and served on the board of trustees for Johnson County Community College, one of the nation’s best. He also has been a board member of the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute. He received both his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Indiana and, in 2009, he received that school’s Distinguished Service Award.

Robba Moran of Hays is the wife of U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, a longtime member of the U.S. House who was elected to succeed Brownback in the Senate. She is a graduate of William Jewell College and the Duke University law school but has not been a practicing attorney in recent years. She has been an assistant professor of business at Fort Hays State University. The Morans have two daughters, Kelsey, who graduated from Kansas State University, and Alex, who is a student at Kansas University.

These three appointees will bring new energy and commitment to the board and are sure to get the message across to the remaining six members that the governor is expecting more positive actions and performance from this board. Board members have been in the dark on too many important situations in recent years.

Brownback has been upfront in saying he wants to see greater excellence at the institutions the Board of Regents is supposed to be governing. He has made specific mention of the KU School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kan. Postsecondary education faces many challenges, and Brownback expects the regents to implement changes and improvements necessary to upgrade the entire state system of higher education.

The terms of other regents will be coming to an end in the next several years, and those who hope to be reappointed will have to show some evidence of far more attention to the job and its responsibilities if they expect to retain their seats on the board.

Congratulations to Brownback for his appointment of Wilk, Logan and Moran. It’s a good day for education in Kansas. Educators now are on notice that top performance is expected, and Kansas taxpayers have reason to believe their dollars will be used in a more effective and efficient manner.

Does anyone remember Iraq?

As the United States moves toward withdrawing its last 46,000 troops from that country by the end of 2011, Iraq has become a black hole. It is the place Americans want to forget and the media hardly cover.

No wonder. Although violence is way down since the mid-2000s, there’s been a resurgence of car bombs and sectarian killings.

The Iraqi government barely functions, and the country ranks nearly at the bottom of the Transparency International corruption index (175th out of 178, just above Afghanistan).

Who wants to remember a war fought for reasons proven wrong, a war for which the Bush administration quit Afghanistan and turned victory there into neardefeat? Who wants to recall a war that cost the lives of nearly 5,000 U.S. troops and more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians — while boosting Iran’s influence in the region and slashing ours?

And yet, that expanding Iranian influence should grab our attention. Unchecked, it will reverse Iraq’s slim democratic gains and restoke Iraq’s sectarian violence, while threatening our broader interests in the region. Is this how we want our misguided Iraq venture to end?

As the United States leaves, Tehran is expanding its sway over Baghdad, beyond the normal influence of a neighbor that shares a long border.

Iran is sending a clear message to Washington that it intends to

SRS options To the editor: Let me see if I understand Gov. Sam Brownback’s reason for closing the Lawrence SRS office. I believe the reasons were to save money and that “Lawrence … has several major SRS offices on four-lane roads.”

Wait a minute, I can think of an even better office to close, Mr. Brownback: the Johnson County SRS office in Overland Park. I imagine even more money could be saved by closing that office. As for access ease, the Kansas City SRS Office is even closer for the Johnson County recipient than the three offices (Ottawa, Topeka, Overland Park) that the Lawrence recipients would need to access. Citizens in western Johnson County could use the Lawrence office.

Oh, I forgot Johnson County’s overwhelming vote for Mr. Brownback, and Lawrence voted for his opponent. I am sure that

Moreover, Tehran appears to have Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in a headlock. Once a politician who showed independence from Tehran, the unpopular Maliki has become dependent on an Iranian-backed Shiite group led by the cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who spends most of his time in the Iranian city of Qom. Even more disturbing is the decision by Maliki and his Dawa Party to submit to the religious authority of Grand Ayatollah Mahmud Hashemi Shahroudi, a hard-line Iranian cleric, rather

States can, or should, do?

The administration (and key Republicans) would like to keep 8,500 to 10,000 troops in Iraq at least during 2012 to continue training Iraqi forces (and send the message that the country isn’t being abandoned to Iran’s ayatollahs).

Many Sunni and Kurdish leaders, along with some Shiites, want a continued U.S. presence to keep Iran at bay (U.S. troops have also kept tensions down between Iraqi Sunnis and Kurds in northern Iraq).

Of course, Americans are even more weary of this war than of the Afghan conflict. And any extension of U.S. troops would require a request from Maliki, a Shiite, which he looks unlikely to make.

Yet, in the year of the Arab Spring, I’m not so certain Maliki can last, despite Iran. (His forces have brutally repressed Iraqi youth protesting corruption.) If other Iraqi forces request us to remain, or Maliki changes his mind, I think the administration should acquiesce.

Americans forget, or never knew, what terrible suffering this war inflicted on Iraqis — in a war that also badly wounded us. To have paid these costs just to hand Iraq over to Iran’s clerics would not just threaten our security. It would be obscene. We must remember Iraq’s history as we decide what to do next.

isn’t the reason he decided to close the Lawrence office, not the Overland Park office.

I do have a possible solution for us unfortunate citizens of Douglas County. Several years ago several southwestern Kansas counties proposed seceding from the state and becoming a part of Oklahoma. How about Douglas County seceding? Of course, I don’t think I want to become a part of any of the states around us, certainly not Missouri, but we could become the 51st state. We would be the smallest state in the union, but Rhode Island would be happy. I would suggest we name the new state “The Free State.”

One final thought, if they think the closing of the Lawrence SRS office is bad, just wait to see what the redistricting might look like.

Will Lawrence become a part of four districts?

Ernest Dyer, Lawrence

SRS obstacles To the editor: I hope someday the governor reads this letter. Maybe God will give him the guidance to not close the doors to the Lawrence SRS office. I am handicapped and disabled. I have survived six strokes, an acute myocardial infarct, a rare blood disease and glaucoma. Like so many unfortunate people living in this great city of Lawrence, the local SRS office is helping me to survive.

The governor needs to understand how difficult the options are he has left us to use. 1) If you don’t own a computer, then find one. A lot of times, there are Internet issues preventing easy and quick access to your caseworker. Sometimes, email addresses don’t work or the website isn’t user friendly. 2) Good luck reaching a caseworker by

telephone and leaving a message and hearing back in a timely manner. The 87 SRS Lawrence workers are very busy and hard working people. 3) The governor says there are four-lane highways for us to travel on. But what good is this if you can’t afford the gas or it’s too much to make the trip physically?

Maybe the governor hopes people in Lawrence like me will just disappear, give up trying and fighting and go ahead and die. As my health continues to decline I am becoming more concerned as to why our governor doesn’t seem to care. Lawrence needs our SRS office reopened! What part of this doesn’t he understand?

He seems like a nice man. But, what will happen to people like me?

God help us.

than to Iraq’s top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani.

Shahroudi endorses the Iranian system of rule by a supreme cleric, while Sistani draws a line between mosque and state.

Maliki has facilitated the flow of huge numbers of Iranian pilgrims (no doubt including many Iranian intelligence agents) to the holy Iraqi cities of Najaf and Karbala, where Iran is building numerous hotels and restaurants.

This week, Iranian First Vice President Mohammed Reza Rahimi is visiting Baghdad, and has signed six agreements to boost economic, health, technological, and cultural ties with Iraqis. He is accompanied by scores of eager Iranian businessmen.

Iraq already depends on Iran for about 10 percent of desperately needed electric power (U.S. inability to help Iraq produce enough electricity, despite many aid projects, has bewildered Iraqis). More Iranian power projects are on tap.

Most Iraqis don’t want to fall into Iran’s orbit. Iraq’s majority Shiite Muslims share Iran’s faith, but they are Arabs, not Persians.

Moreover, discontent with Maliki has grown; he has veered toward one-man rule (encouraged by Iran?) and failed to carry out his promises to minority Sunnis.

Iraqis fear they could once again become the proxy battleground between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran, with each side fueling its chosen sectarian militias.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 10, 1911: YEARS “There is no runAGO ning to the mail box IN 1911 at W. F. Elkins’ home, five miles west of Lawrence, on rural route No. 1. Instead when the mail carrier is seen to stop at the box, a little contrivance is put into motion and in one minute the box has covered the thirty-five yards between the road and the house. Thirtyfive yards is nearly one-eighth mile, and after walking to and from the box many times Mr. Elkins decided he could work out an easier way. The first move was the build a wire trolley from the house to the location of the mail box and then to suspend the box from it.

The next was to arrange an endless wire cable to bring the box back and forth. An old bicycle wheel, with a crank arm where the pedal formerly was, completed the outfit and now the box travels back and forth to the house.”

Fire in ‘hoarding’ house well fueled WICHITA (AP) — Wichita fire crews on Saturday continued to monitor the remnants of a house fire that sent smoke billowing above downtown.

The Wichita Eagle reported the fire started Friday near the city’s Old Town area.

Large fireworks in the home were initially thought to be sticks of homemade dynamite, prompting the evacuation of several neighboring homes and businesses.

Police have said there was a “hoarding situation” in the home. The material was fueling the blaze.

Fire officials planned to keep crews at the scene of the fire all day Saturday.

Gold medalist Clayton Saving, 14, Newport, Maine, formerly of Baldwin City, recently earned three gold medals in shot put, discus and long jump.

Clayton attends Sebasticook Middle School in Newport. He is grandson of Verle and Yvonne Weems, Lawrence.

KANSAS OFFENSIVE LINEMAN JEFF SPIKES, RIGHT, WORKS OUT with the rest of the line during practice on April 11 at the practice fields near Memorial Stadium. Spikes missed last season due to an injury but is expected to be KU’s top offensive lineman this season.

KU’s O-line healthy, experienced

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS OFFENSIVE LINEMAN TANNER HAWKINSON AND THE REST OF THE OFFENSIVE LINEMEN WORK on technique during practice on April 25 at KU’s practice fields.

In 2010, Kansas University’s offensive line suffered a slew of injuries and watched as a handful of guys were forced to play out of position.

As a result, the team suffered.

Although that line lost a couple of players to graduation, this year’s line figures to improve because of two things — health and experience.

Jeff Spikes returns from an Achilles’ tendon injury that kept him on the sideline all season in 2010, and KU coach Turner Gill immediately slotted him into the left-tackle position, a spot most often reserved for a team’s top offensive lineman.

In addition to the return of Spikes, senior Jeremiah Hatch anchors the line at center and is surrounded by the experience of juniors Tanner

Hawkinson, Trevor Marrongelli and Duane Zlatnik.

Together, KU’s top five offensive lineman have combined to start 96 games, which likely explains why Gill has said the first five have a slight advantage on the rest of the crew behind them.

Gill’s not the only one touting the experience of the Oline.

“The sky’s the limit,” said Spikes, who has 23 career starts. “And I’m not saying that just because it’s our team. If you just look at the experience we have and the athleticism, not even including myself, just the strength we have … we’re constantly working on strength, constantly working on technique.”

They’re also working on drive. Last year’s 3-9 season was an embarrassment for most on the KU team. That slip has inspired several returners to work even harder in the offseason, something

that has benefited the offensive line greatly.

For all the talk about KU’s depth at running back and steady improvement at quarterback, it’s the five guys who line up in front of them who might determine how successful the Jayhawks’ offense will be in 2011.

Listed below is the JournalWorld and KUsports.com’s look at the top five players at the position, a list that includes all five returners and a couple of newcomers as well.

Matt Tait’s list 1. Jeff Spikes: Three things landed him at the top: talent, hunger and mean streak.

2. Jeremiah Hatch: In the best shape of his career and ready to anchor O-line.

3. Tanner Hawkinson: So much experience and now back at a position (RT) that suits him better.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Former Jayhawk Nooner hired by SIU J-W Staff Reports

C A R B O N D A L E , I L L . — Former Kansas University basketball guard Terry Nooner recently was named assistant women’s basketball coach at Southern Illinois University.

Nooner, who played at KU f ro m 19 9 7-20 0 0, h a s s eve n years experience coaching high school and AAU basketball in addition to seven years ex p e r i e n ce a s a ba s ke t ba l l instructor in the Kansas City, Mo., area.

The Kansas City native has coached the girls 13-and-under and 15-and-under teams for the

Lady Phenom AAU organization since 2007 and previously coa c h e d t h e E a rl Wat s o n Kansas City Bruins 17-andu n d e r b oys te a m i n 20 0 6 .

Nooner also coached boys baske t ba l l a t S o ut h e a s t H i g h School (2002-03, 2007-08) and Raytown High School (200809) during his six years of teaching special education at the two schools.

In addition, Nooner has served as president of KC Pro Am Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides basketball instruction, since 2007, and has served as a personal basketball instructor at the Jewish Commu-

basketball coach Teddy Owens, the son of former KU coach Ted Owens, has been named a graduate assistant coach for Lon Kruger at the University of Oklahoma, the Daily Oklahoman reports.

“What an opportunity to work for a man who is respected by the entire coaching fraternity,” Owens told the Oklahoman.

“The staff is incredible. Great guys.”

Owens, 29, compiled a 48-27 record in three years at Lincoln Christian. ● He guided the Bulldogs to Owens to join Oklahoma: Class 2A state tournament in Tulsa Lincoln Christian boys 2009 and 2010.

“Terry understands the work ethic it takes to succeed at the highest level,” SIU coach Missy Tiber said. “He was the epitome of a student-athlete under Roy Williams at Kansas. He has great character and will be an excellent mentor and role model to the young women in our program. Terry’s outgoing personality will also allow for him to be an excellent recruiter. Terry will also work daily with our post players.”

NEW YORK (AP) — This was so Derek Jeter.

Pressure mounting, time running out, all eyes on him at Yankee Stadium.

He delivered — and then some — on a defining day in his championship career.

Jeter homered deep into the left-f ield bleachers for his 3,000th career hit, making him the first New York Yankees player to reach the mark. He tied a career best by going 5-for-5. And he capped Saturday’s show by singling home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning.

“Just one of those special days,” Jeter said.

Mobbed by his pinstriped pals after the ball sailed into the seats, showered by ovations from his fans, Jeter stood alone in Yankees lore. A fitting crown for the captain, on a sunny afternoon when it seemed he could do anything he wanted in a 5-4 victory over Tampa Bay. Almost as if he saved his best swing of the season to counter his critics and doubters, to prove that he still was, indeed, Derek Jeter. How else to explain it? His first home run in the Bronx this year, for No. 3,000.

“You want to hit the ball hard,” he said. “I didn’t want to hit a slow roller to third base and have it be replayed forever.”

“It’s a number that’s meant a lot in baseball,” he said. “To be the only Yankee to do anything is special.”

Oh, and for good measure: Jeter stole a base, too. For any hitter, a perfect game. Something out of “The Natural,” really.

“I don’t think you can script it any better,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “This is already movie-ready.”

Added the Rays’ Johnny Damon, a former teammate: “Hopefully he can act very well and hopefully he can play himself in his own movie, that’s the type of day this was.”

In fact, HBO will soon show a documentary about Jeter’s pursuit.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

L.A. dodges no-no, clips Padres, 1-0 The Associated Press

National League Dodgers 1, Padres 0 LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers got their first hit with two outs in the ninth inning and still beat San Diego when Dioner Navarro singled in Juan Uribe for the unlikely victory Saturday.

Uribe was down to his last strike when he drove a pitch from Luke Gregerson (2-2) over the head of left fielder Chris Denorfia for Los Angeles’ first hit and only the second hit of the game for either team.

The Padres have never had a nohitter in their 43-year history.

Navarro then looped a 3-1 pitch into short right-center to give the Dodgers three consecutive shutout victories for the first time since July 1991. Los Angeles has won nine of its last 19 games, and seven of those victories have been shutouts — including the last five.

K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . ( AP ) — Chris Getz reached base three times. Melky Cabrera pushed his hitting streak to eight games. Alex Gordon belted a long three-run homer, and Billy Butler added three hits and a pair of RBIs. Pretty nice production from the top of the order.

The Kansas City Royals finally generated some offense Saturday night, and their bullpen carried the load after Luke Hochevar was chased in the fourth inning of a 13-6 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

“The top four guys in our lineup today produced a lot of offense,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We had eight or nine hits, a bunch of RBIs — the majority of the RBIs. Billy swung the bat really, really well tonight, as did Melky, and Gordo with the big three-run homer was key.”

Alcides Escobar also drove in three runs and scored three times for the Royals, who built

Jeter CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“Nobody better in the clutch,” Yankees star Jorge Posada chimed in. “He looks forward to that moment, and today was a perfect example.”

With a swift swing of his shiny black bat, Jeter jolted himself into historic company, hitting a solo home run off AllStar ace David Price in the third inning. He became the 28th major-leaguer to hit the mark and joined former teammate Wade Boggs as the only players to do it with a home run.

Jeter watched the ball fly as he left the batter’s box and gave a big clap as he rounded first base. Rays first baseman Casey Kotchman was the first to salute Jeter, doffing his cap as Jeter passed by.

“Hitting a home run was the last thing I was thinking about,” Jeter said. “I was pretty relieved.”

By then, all of Jeter’s teammates were already celebrating in the dugout, raising their arms

Sporting KC extends streak K A N S A S C I T Y , K AN . ( AP ) — Omar Bravo scored on a header in the third minute of second-half stoppage time, lifting Sporting Kansas City to a 1-1 draw with Chivas USA on Saturday night.

Kansas City (5-6-7) extended its unbeaten streak to 4-06 since a loss at Seattle on May 21.

Nick LaBrocca gave Chivas (5-7-7) the lead in the 30th minute when he split the defense, took a through ball from Justin Braun and slotted a low shot past Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen into the lower left corner.

almost in unison. A special time for No. 2 — his second hit of the game, and right at 2 p.m.

He looked every bit like a spry 27-year-old with those bright green eyes and an even brighter future, rather than a 37-year-old shortstop with his best days behind him.

Jeter finished the day with 3,003 hits.

was yanked with two out in the fourth. Greg Holland (3-1) wiggled out of trouble to earn the victory, and Everett Teaford tossed three shutout innings in his return from the minors to finish off a game that lasted 3 hours, 24 minutes.

“I’m really glad I was able to finish it out just so tomorrow we’re that much more fresh out there,” Teaford said, “and then heading into the All-Star break we’ll be real good to go.”

Brennan Boesch had three hits and drove in a pair of runs for Detroit, which could have moved ahead of Cleveland and into first place in the AL Central with a victory.

The Tigers were done in by a pair of errors that led to eight unearned runs.

“When you have a bad game like we did tonight, that’s what happens. You don’t get out of it,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said.

“You don’t expect the pitcher to get out of it all the time. ‘’

The only thing left, it seemed, was a triple — Jeter has never hit for the cycle.

Instead, he singled in the sixth and bounced a tiebreaking single through a drawn-in infield.

“I was expecting the triple,” Yankees closer Mariano Rivera kidded. “That’s the way it is.”

The prize ball, one of the specially marked ones put in play for the occasion once Jeter got to 2,999 hits, disappeared into a cluster of fans a few rows beyond the wall.

Christian Lopez of Highland Mills, N.Y., sitting in Section 236, emerged with the valuable memento after it bounced off his father ’s hand.

The 23-year-old former football player from St. Lawrence University gladly gave the ball back to Jeter, saying it never occurred to him to keep it. The Yankees rewarded him with four tickets to every game for the rest of the year and memorabilia autographed by Jeter — three bats, three balls and two jerseys.

“Mr. Jeter deserved it,” Lopez said. “It’s all his.”

JAY MAUS, Lawrence, is the host of “DarkTimes with Jay Maus,” a biweekly comedy show at the Granada, 1020 Mass.

COMEDY AFTER DARK

By Michael Auchard Special to the Journal-World

A slight departure from the usual after-hours entertainment in downtown Lawrence, “Dark Times with Jay Maus” bridges the gap between comedy show and rock concert.

With various stand-up acts, a house band and a special guest lined up for each edition, “Dark Times” aims to appeal to a wide audience and to offer something different to local culture connoisseurs.

“Dark Times”, which is

similar in format to a latenight television talk show, will next air 9 p.m. Tuesday, at the Granada, 1020 Mass.

The show then moves to Wednesday nights, every two weeks, at the same time.

Host Jay Maus says he hopes the show will garner a large following and change what people expect out of entertainment in Lawrence.

He believes the market is currently mostly one-dimensional.

“I looked around town,” Maus says, “and I saw that the

BEHIND THE LENS

New camera will refocus images after they’re shot

By Richard Gwin rgwin@ljworld.com

Being a photographer for 30something years, I’ve seen quite a change in the way photographs are taken, both by the photographer and by the equipment that has advanced over the last few years. It has been like a beam of light that’s never going to end.

Breakthroughs in photo sensors and media storage have lead to increased image size and improved quality, along with features like auto focus, that young photographers take for granted.

With cameras that remove much of the guesswork before a photo is taken, what ground is left to be broken? How about a camera that allows you to improve photos after they have already been taken?

I was talking to a friend last weekend and he asked me abut a new camera made by a small Silicon Valley startup called Lytro that allowed a photographer to go back and refocus an image after it had been captured. It stunned me until the next morning. I was watching the news and there was a story about this exact camera.

After the news piece, I visited

SHARON NIGUS, Stilwell, anticipates the swing after tossing a pitch to her grandson Haven Nelson, 9, Baldwin City, as they practice on the playground of New York School in this June 27 file photo. A camera by Lytro captures color information from all points of light within the frame, allowing a photographer to change the image's focus after the photo has been taken. In images like this one, the focal point could be changed on the fly to the ball, the boy or the house in the background. the company’s site, www.lytro.com, to get some more information. Here’s what I found out: Lytro was founded by Ren Ng, a researched at Stanford University that specialized in light-field photography. The company’s

technology revolves around a new sensor that captures more data by recording the color, intensity and direction of every single beam of light in its field of view. Because of the amount of information, the picture can be edited and sharpened to any

specific viewpoint within the photograph. For example, if you took a photo of some friends with the ocean in the background, you could change the image’s focus from your friends to the ocean waves or even a seagull in the air without suffering any of the usual pixellation or archiving that occurs in traditional post-photo doctoring.

This kind of technology will be a big stir in the photography world. And while the capabilities of changing an existing photo might raise some questions, it sure will make it easier to fix a goof or missed shot. It might even change the way we look at photography and framing altogether, but only time will tell on that prediction. Lytro isn’t planning on making this technology available to the major camera companies like Nikon or Canon. Instead, the company is making its own, supposedly by the end of the year.

While Lytro has announced a consumer camera, a price has yet to be named. Somehow, I doubt they’re going to be cheap.

away with some money, a place where creatives can work on making this craft economically viable.”

Maus says he’s consciously made his show multifaceted to keep it fresh for a wide variety of people in his audience.

“We have a house band, we do a short interview with our guests. We interview local artists, interesting people, and we’re trying to get a guest band for each show.

We bring a lot more to the table than a standard comedy show. We have the mentality of offering the audience something that’s a little above and beyond.”

Maus, who’s practiced stand-up comedy in Lawrence since 2008, says he eventually wants to get all of the episodes of “Dark Times” on YouTube.

“We’ve been filming each one and getting together a

PULSE process for getting it up on the Web,” he says. “I want to highlight to the rest of the country that there are some talented, funny people here in the fly-over states. I want to make a Lawrence institution, if at all possible. That’s kind of lofty, but that’s my goal.”

Comic Ed Parker is one of the guests for the upcoming show. He says “Dark Times’” humor can be a bit zany. He says it’s always a unique experience.

“At one of the shows I was at, Randy Savage had just died the week before, and so Jay brought out a large number of Slim Jims and we communally snapped into these Slim Jims as a tribute to the Macho Man. There’s usually something unexpected, whether it’s something like that, or it’s just him talking to a comedian who comes on. If you have ever been to an episode of ‘Dark Times,’ you’ll understand that Jay is very weird and he is going to do weird things on stage. The comedians will usually be very funny as

well.”

Parker shares Maus’ view that Lawrence could do with a more varied entertainment scene. He thinks shows like “Dark Times” offer more variety than the standard fare.

“The shows that Jay does are like a talk show,” Parker says, “but it’s sort of a more crazy version of that format, because it’s very local and it features local comedians, local musicians ... it’s something that is unique because of Jay’s vision and it’s very funny because of that. It’s always good to have something other than music to use for entertainment.

There’s music at 10 bars downtown every night.

Some of it’s always good, but there are people who are interested in finding other entertainment avenues as well.”

Stage Manager Jaymie Nash says the appeal of working on a show like this is meeting new and interesting people and working behind the scenes, rehearsing with the comedians and

American Black Film Festival brings new perspectives to cinema

By Suzette LaBoy Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH, FLA.— One of the most prestigious festivals honoring black cinema returned to Miami Beach on Wednesday to promote cultural diversity and recognize the contributions of black directors, writers and actors to the film industry.

Now in its 15th year, the American Black Film Festival promotes cultural diversity within the film industry by strengthening the black filmmaking community through four days of film screenings, networking, workshops for both actors and directors, and panel discussions.

Jeff Friday, the festival’s cofounder, said he wanted to change America’s tone of African-American characters on television and films.

“I had always been disturbed by images of people with color in films. There was always a level of struggle,” he said of black people on the television shows he grew up watching, such as “Good Times” or “The Jeffersons.”

“I just didn’t see enough diversity.”

That was decades ago, and Friday acknowledged the industry was doing a much better job now.

In all, 20 independent films would premiere during the festival that ran through Saturday, allowing for emerging filmmakers to showcase their work through short-film and documentary competitions.

The films were either made or directed by an AfricanAmerican, or have a focus on black culture.

Opening the festival was “In the Hive,” produced by Robert Townsend and starring Michael Clarke Duncan, Loretta Devine, Vivica A. Fox and Jonathan “Lil J” McDaniel. The film is based on a true story of a woman who started an alternative school for troubled youth in North Carolina.

“It’s what’s going on right now. At-risk youths ... how do you save them?” Townsend said.

“We have a lot of stories to tell. And a lot of times Hollywood hasn’t really told our stories. We need a new generation of filmmakers to tell

stories that reflect truths and the humanness of the people of color.”

In the film “Breathe,” a woman’s dream of becoming a mother turns into a nightmare as she is stalked by a silent killer during her pregnancy, a true story directed

by Jerry Allen Davis and starring Robin Givens.

“The topic doesn’t really get addressed in the black community,” said actress Elise Neal, who also stars in “A.N.T. Farm,” a TV series on the Disney Channel.

“Our race doesn’t talk about complications. But having this film in the festival will resonate with women.

It’s about time we do more films that are topical and discuss health issues,” Neal said.

Singer Eric Benet makes his lead acting debut in “Trinity Goodheart” written by Rhonda Freeman-Baraka. The film centers on a 12-year-old girl who is trying to bring her mixed-race family together.

“It’s a great depiction of an American black family,” director Joanna Hock said.

“There needs to be an openness and acceptance to look at life in different ways and look at people in different ways and not be so dogmatic on we how approach relationships.”

The festival also includes a 30-minute documentary on

the making of “Boyz n the Hood,” the 1991 box office hit by director John Singleton, who was nominated for a best director Academy Award at the age of 24. He will discuss “what the vibe was of the black filmmaking community” at the time.

“It was the first film that visualized what was going on in hip hop culture,” Singleton said.

“Nobody like me had the opportunity to make that film. I didn’t water down what I had to say with the picture. I was very focused in how I wanted the picture to feel, and that’s what makes it so enduring.”

Singleton went on to direct Janet Jackson and former rapper Tupac Shakur in the 1993 film “Poetic Justice.” He also directed the films “Higher Learning” and “Hustle & Flow,” among dozens of others. He is currently in postproduction of “Abduction,” a thriller starring Taylor Lautner set to be released Sept. 23.

Comedian and director Keenen Ivory Wayans was to be honored Saturday for his achievements in television and the big screen.

“He has desensitized race in films,” said Jeff Friday, the festival’s co-founder. “He’s given us a platform to take race out of it and make it about comedy.”

musicians to create a fluid, fun show.

“Being involved in the show, especially from the ground up, has been interesting,” Nash says. “I’m so interested to see how much it grows as we get a bigger audience and more guests.

Getting to see how it develops from here will be amazing. The overall thing is just amazing.”

Nash says people looking for an inexpensive comedy fix fairly early in the night should come to the Granada and enjoy an episode.

“We’re doing it, at this point, twice a month, so even if you can’t make it on a particular night, there’s always going to be another one we’re going to do.”

THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT Still waiting to jump off the fence and into home ownership? There are many aspects of today’s market that should make your decision easier. First of all, mortgage rates are still very low, which means you begin building equity even more quickly (by paying less interest), and you can tolerate the ups and downs of the market while values recover.

You’ll still find many assistance programs helping to encourage middleclass families to become homeowners.

Get the ball rolling with a discussion with your agent to find out exactly what loan programs are available, and then combine them with the current low interest rates for the greatest benefit.

When you make an offer and apply for financing, you’ll also find that appraisal rules have come more into line with the reality of the market. Appraisers have more flexibility now in determining the value of a home based on comparable properties. This is an important facet of successfully securing realistic financing for your purchase.

And your choices now couldn’t be better, as distressed properties are beginning to clear out of the system, and finer and bettermaintained homes are entering the listings.

You’ll find that homeowners were investing more in maintenance and improvements while the market was down, which will increase your choice of attractive properties now. Start your search today, while all these factors are in your favor.

Los Angeles Times

For much of the 1980s, beginning when I was in college, I used to read a Hemingway book a year. The point was not self-improvement but rather a kind of exploration: What was it, exactly, about his writing that I’d missed? I had read “The Sun Also Rises” in high school and had admired its spare portrayal of 1920s expatriate life. But I’d also thought of it as more than a little stilted, even melodramatic in its way.

Of all the great American between-the-wars writers — “the three kings,” as Richard Ford referred to Hemingway, Faulkner and Fitzgerald in a 1983 essay, although I’d also Talya James, include John Dos Passos in legal studies student, their company — the one who Topeka most spoke to me was Faulkn“’Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ by J.K. er, with his flowing sea of lanRowling. It’s the third book in guage, his sense of the past, of history, as a living thing. Next the series. Harry meets his godfather, though he doesn’t to him, Hemingway seemed know it at the time. He sort of flat, two-dimensional. Where was his appeal? If only I kept comes into his own, reading, I might find out. basically.”

I worked through my share of the novels: “A Farewell to Arms,” “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” I was compelled, in places, yet still felt removed.

Then, on a train from New York to Chicago, I discovered the 1925 collection “In Our Time,” Hemingway’s American debut. The 15 stories here include some of his most iconic: “Big Two-Hearted River,” “The Three-Day Blow,” “The Doctor and the Doctor’s Wife.” These works Katie Long, helped rewire American journalism major, short fiction with their bluntLawrence ness, their lack of affect, their “’A Long Way Gone’ by insistence that we read Ishmael Beah. It’s about a little boy who lives in Africa between the lines.

“If a writer of prose knows and escapes from the rebels. enough about what he is writIt’s a biography.” ing about,” Hemingway observed in “Death in the Afternoon,” his 1932 study of bullfighting, “he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them.” That’s a revolutionary idea, with its implicit recognition that writing and reading are a collaboration. And yet, for all that “In Our Time” puts this Becca Arnold, into action, the book stands out pre-nursing major, for me by remaining — along Lawrence with “The Old Man and the “’The Great Gatsby’ by F.

AMERICAN AUTHOR ERNEST HEMINGWAY, seen aboard his yacht circa 1950, shot himself to death on July 2, 1961, 50 years ago last weekend, but questions about his legacy resonate. to the end (indeed, he’s published posthumously at a rate rivaled only by L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Kerouac), he had produced most of his important work by 1940, when “For Whom the Bell Tolls” appeared. He was a personality — along with Fitzgerald and some others, I’d suggest, an early example of the writer as celebrity, as famous for who he was as for what he wrote — and yet, half a century after his death, he is misunderstood, if we think of him at all.

What can he still mean?

The world has changed: How many readers, in the aftermath of Vietnam or the last slogging decade in Iraq and Afghanistan, still consider war a noble gesture, a crucible? How many, in an era when we blog or tweet with equal weight our deepest secrets and least significant interactions, have any use for Hemingway’s stylized reserve? Even back when I was actively reading him, he seemed a writer of another time. Twenty-five years later, that moment too feels archaic, like so much ancient history, leaving me to wonder what, if anything, Hemingway can still mean.

I raised this issue recently with a number of writer friends on Facebook, and what I got back was illuminating. Some made jokes, while others mentioned the experiences of their children.

(Apparently, Hemingway is still assigned in high school, if less often than he used to be.) One referred to her own high school struggles with “For Whom the Bell Tolls” — after which, she noted, she never read Hemingway again.

Most interesting, though, were the half-dozen or so responses that addressed the work directly, not as a matter

of content so much as one of style. Even those who didn’t consider Hemingway a favorite cited his strippeddown approach, his intent to reinvent the language, his commitment not to tell.

I think of “Cat in the Rain,” perhaps my favorite of his stories, which in three concise pages portrays a marriage on the cusp of unraveling, without ever making that overt.

The young American wife at the center of the narrative is dissatisfied but only aware of it as an undertone. As her husband reads, uninterested, she stares out the window of their Italian hotel room, then tries to rescue a cat caught in the rain. The story unfolds over the course of only a few minutes, but these minutes are intensely weighted, especially when the wife goes downstairs and runs into the hotelkeeper, an older man who is everything her husband is not. “The wife liked him,” Hemingway writes. “She liked the deadly serious way he received any complaints.

She liked his dignity. She liked the way he wanted to serve her. She liked the way he felt about being a hotel-keeper.

She liked his old, heavy face and big hands.”

You can read that passage in a variety of ways: as a deft character description or as an example of Hemingway’s aesthetic in action, with the repetition of “She liked” working to remind us of the story as a written artifact. Yet most important is how the spareness sets up the emotion, by forcing us to inhabit these sentences for ourselves.

What is Hemingway asking us to do, after all, if not to compare this man, in the wife’s eyes, to her husband, who does not and will never match up? He doesn’t need to say it; we can see it, and its

implications for the future of their relationship. If, as he once wrote, “all stories, if continued far enough, end in death,” he is revealing to us here a way station, freighted with both past and future, a catalyst, an epiphany. Its simplicity is what makes it beautiful, although paradoxically this may explain why I remain conflicted about his longer works. In a novel it is harder to sustain this kind of focus, and for me, Hemingway can lose his sharpness when he has to deal with plot.

Just look at “To Have and Have Not,” which is a mess of a book, or “Across the River and Into the Trees.”

Lasting influence So what does this mean for his relevance? That’s an obligatory question, given the anniversary of his death, but is also the wrong question to ask. Instead, let’s think about his influence, which remains an influence of style.

Without Hemingway, could we have Raymond Carver, Denis Johnson, Russell Banks or Tobias Wolff?

Could we have Albert Camus’ “The Stranger,” modeled (stylistically, anyway) on both him and James M. Cain?

Could we have the work of Norman Mailer, his closest literary descendent, or, for that matter, Hunter S. Thompson, who admired his stance as l’homme engage?

Perhaps his truest value lies in what he has passed down.

“I think you should learn about writing from everybody who has ever written that has anything to teach you,” he wrote to Fitzgerald in 1925. It has been decades since I gave up trying to reconcile my own ambivalence about his writing, but if he has a legacy, this may be where it resides.

‘Girl in Blue Beret’ is storytelling at its best The new novel from bestselling author Bobbie Ann Mason will send you dashing to the shelves to devour everything else she’s ever written — it’s that good.

Inspired by the experiences of her father-in-law, Mason weaves a spellbinding tale of war, love and survival in “The Girl in the Blue Beret” that alternates seamlessly between World War II and modern Europe.

Marshall Stone is a 60-yearold former bomber pilot whose age forces him to retire from his beloved airline job. To the surprise of all, he picks up and moves to Paris, intent on finding the ordinary people who hid him and led him safely out of France during the war after his B-17 crashed. Through his eyes, we meet members of the French Resistance who sacrificed greatly and often risked their lives to help downed airmen. We also learn about a cocksure young man slow to realize the high price of war to those who lived through it.

Mason’s writing is exquisite.

Not a single word is wasted or out of place, and she never drifts toward sentimentality.

Her extensive knowledge of aircraft, combat and World War II is readily apparent, but isn’t heavy-handed. Perhaps most impressive, though, is her ability to experience the world through a no-longer-middleaged widower.

‘The Man in the Rockefeller Suit’ is a disturbing, rich tale

By Elaine Margolin Newsday

Vanity Fair writer Mark Seal has spent most of his career penning magazine profiles of the rich and famous. He seems drawn to this world, particularly to the dark shadows that hover around those whose wealth brings them unbridled power and privilege.

In his new book, “The Man in the Rockefeller Suit,” Seal recounts the disturbing story of a con artist who was able to convince the wealthy elite of Manhattan and Boston’s Beacon Hill that he was one of the Rockefellers — a distant cousin but nevertheless a member in good standing of the bil-

lionaire clan. In reality, he was Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, who came to America from a small German town on a tourist visa in 1978 and quickly began a three-decade odyssey of deception under several assumed identities.

In 1992, Gerhartsreiter surfaced in Manhattan, wooing admirers with his uncanny friendliness, confidence and charm. Seal describes his arrival at St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Fifth Avenue: “When he entered the magnificent Gothic church, he had an equally magnificent name and a meticulously researched persona to go with it. ‘Hello,’ he greeted his fellow worshippers in his perfectly enunciated East Coast prep school accent, wearing an impeccable blue

blazer and private-club necktie. ...

‘Clark,’ he said, ‘Clark Rockefeller.”’

“Rockefeller” became close with one or two prominent members of the church and soon was invited to join their private clubs. He spun stories about his past geared to exact admiration and a good measure of sympathy — about losing his parents at a young age, his attendance at Yale, his impressive art collection, the enormous trust fund he was expecting.

“Rockefeller” managed to win over Sandra Boss, a wealthy financial analyst who married him and paid for their lifestyle. Together they had a daughter whom he nicknamed Snooks. But in 2007, upset by her husband’s extremely controlling nature,

Boss filed for divorce and hired an investigator to research his assets.

After their divorce settlement, she retained custody of their daughter, and in 2008 he kidnapped the girl.

Caught and arrested in Baltimore, Gerhartsreiter is currently serving time for that crime. He has also been charged with murder in California.

Seal traveled to Gerhartsreiter’s village in Bavaria and interviewed several who knew him as a boy. They remember a restless and sometimes reckless child overly indulged by his family. He was an only child until the birth of his brother when he was 12. He read voraciously and had a particular fondness for science fiction. But why did he do it? There is no smoking gun.

New book takes readers on ‘Wagon Train to Freedom’

By Joe Miller Special to the Journal-World

As a boy growing up in Richmond, Todd Mildfelt became captivated with stories of the Underground Railroad that operated in eastern Kansas in the mid19th century to lead slaves to freedom.

“I grew up always being interested in history,” he says. “I just couldn’t get enough.”

Mildfelt’s deep-seated interest in the past persisted into adulthood. He became a history teacher and he conducted historical research in his spare time. While digging through historical archives in Topeka, he came across a 50-page history of a journey on Underground Railroad.

“No one had done anything with it,” he says. “It just floored me.”

Mildfelt’s discovery resulted in a book, “The Secret Danites: Kansas’ First Jayhawkers,” which he selfpublished in 2003. The book told the story of an underground anti-slavery group that pre-dated the Civil Warera Jayhawkers in Kansas’ Territorial period.

The book received positive attention and sold well locally. But Mildfelt believed there was still more that could be done with the material.

“Here’s some wonderful Kansas history,” he says.

“It’s an important resource for education. So I decided to do children’s books.”

The result is “Wagon Train to Freedom,” a 67page illustrated book for students in grades four to six that Mildfelt published this year. It tells the story of the Rev. John E. Stewart, who led a group of 15 escaped slaves out of Lawrence and to freedom with the help of nine Underground Railroad workers. They took on four more escapees in Auburn, just south of Topeka, and traveled for 66 days into central Iowa.

Mildfelt says that Stewart is a controversial figure. “He didn’t have the best reputation,” he says. “He got caught up in horse stealing and plundering.”

One story had him stealing a bunch of horses soon after he settled in the area in 1855, bringing them back to Lawrence and cutting their manes and putting spots on them with shoe polish to disguise them. It didn’t work. He was caught and convicted, his reputation sullied.

But Stewart’s life seemed to change in 1859 when he was part of a crew of FreeStaters who sprung Dr. John Doy of Lawrence from a northwest Missouri jail where he was serving time for helping lead escaped slaves to freedom.

“That was kind of the

TODD MILDFELT, Richmond, has written a new children’s book on the underground railroad called “Wagon Train to Freedom.” turning point,” Mildfelt says.

“He left horse stealing behind and worked full-time freeing slaves.”

Stewart became quite skilled at freeing slaves. He developed a reputation among pro-slavery people in Missouri, who raided and burned his house while he was away. As the fighting intensified, Stewart came into possession of a cannon called “Old Sacramento,” which the U.S. Army had captured during the Mexican War and is now part of the Watson Museum’s collection. He used it to free slaves, and it plays prominently in Mildfelt’s new children’s book.

“I decided this would be a very good story for young people to read,” says Mildfelt, who has taught special education for 27 years. “As a teacher, I’m concerned about getting the next gener-

ation of Kansas historians ready to go.

“In this world of technology and social media, I don’t want people to lose touch with these stories,” he adds.

“As a teacher, you begin to think, ‘Who is going to pick up on this and move it forward?’”

So far the response has been positive among Mildfelt’s intended audience.

“Last Christmas I paid a fourth-grader $5 to read the book and fill out a questionnaire about it,” he says. “She loved it. I think it fascinates people and captures the imagination.”

The book is available at The Raven Bookstore, 8 E. Seventh St., and the Watson Museum. Mildfelt is currently working on a follow-up to “Wagon Train to Freedom,” a children’s book about John Brown and another scholarly book.

Jackpot introduces new weekly dance scene

By Caitlin Donnelly Special to the Journal-World

Summers in Lawrence have a special charm to them. The students leave town, and the locals venture out. Scenesters prowl the usual haunts, seeking out whatever cool kids remain. Things move slower in the city during summer time, and that extends to the local music scene.

But two Lawrence DJs have got your back. Reggie Smith (DJ Feast) and Tomo Mizuno (DJ Mitmo) join forces with Team Bear Club, local creative collaborative, to bring Blasian, a new weekly party every Thursday at the Jackpot Saloon, 943 Mass.

Smith and Mizuno were initially recruited by Team Bear Club back in October.

“We spinned at the Bear Club Rave on October first,” Smith says. “And the event was so successful, things just kind of snowballed from there.”

Since then, the duo has operated alongside members of Team Bear Club, which hosts reoccurring events in Lawrence and Kansas City monthly, like Mingle at the Taproom, Dirty Dirty Dirty at the Granada and SWAG at The Union.

But Blasian has its own vibe.

“Playing at the Jackpot is perfect for the summer — it’s a more intimate space, so even with a smaller crowd, it’s still poppin’ and it sounds good,” Smith says.

“It’s a different atmosphere,” Mizuno adds, “and our music is a complete mix.”

Tired of hearing commercial music growing up in Japan, Mizuno started listening to American pop music at age 11.

“Then when I was in the seventh grade, my friend’s brother introduced me to a Tupac album, and I started listening to hip-hop. I started to dig into other genres.”

And although Mizuno and Smith both cite Motown as a major influence, guests at Blasian can expect a complete variation of music.

“We play retro soul, dubstep, electronica, foreign pop, top-40…” Smith lists, “Everything that’s not country.”

Just as diverse as the music

REGGIE SMITH (DJ Feast) and Tomo Mizuno (DJ Mitmo) joined up with Team Bear Club to create the Blasian dance party every Thursday during the summer at The Jackpot Music Hall, 943 Mass. at Blasian, the crowd is also diverse. Nick Kellerman, Kansas University grad student has known Tomo for years.

“He used to DJ at house parties, and he’s gained popularity,” Kellerman says.

Jackpot staffers have noticed the appeal as well.

“There are about 85 to 100 people here tonight. Typically it’s not this busy on a DJ night,” says Sean Hunt, Jackpot doorman. “They’ve doubled since last week. I think they’ll double again next week. These kids are on their way to building a new Neon.”

KITCHEN CABINETS AS FURNITURE In some European countries, it is customary for families to take their kitchen cabinets with them when they move.

While kitchen cabinetry in this country is mostly built into place, some homeowners may want to draw upon the European model when designing their new kitchens.

The fact is that freestanding kitchen cabinetry with legs and wood finishes can become the perfect extension of dining room furniture in homes with great rooms and open floor plans.

Of course, if you prefer the look of furniture but the convenience of attached cabinets, a good kitchen designer can create a kitchen that takes advantage of both.

We offer a wide variety of stock, semi custom and custom cabinetry to suit your style, no matter what it is.

Hint: Kitchen floor cabinets with legs that lift the cabinets to allow you to see the floor impart a sense of lightness to the room.

Unique plants provide focal point in garden

‘Slot’ machines date back to 200 B.C.

By Terry Kovel

Garden Calendar

New slot machines and pinball games are designed to look modern and up-todate. They have flashing lights and moving decorations and they make lots of noise. Studies show that all of these features add to the excitement of the game. So try to imagine the first coinoperated vending machines that were used in 200 B.C. to dispense holy water. They were plain clay pots with levers. In England, tobacco could be purchased from a coin-operated machine by the 1600s. New technology was used to make the machines of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. After the Civil War, all kinds of coinoperated machines were found in many stores. A pony on a stand could give a bouncy ride for a dime. Some machines dispensed merchandise like perfume, gum or cigarettes. Some were games of skill. And some told fortunes or dispensed cards picturing movie stars or bathing beauties. Many played music. Collectors today like all types — arcade games, gambling games and dispensers.

arden design is truly an art, and east Lawrence resident Shari Head is a talented artist. Despite a limited amount of space in both front and back yards, Head has painted a picture with unique focal points and season-long color.

My favorite is a green and white variegated shrub that greets visitors at the curb. I believe it is Variegated Mountain Fleece (Fallopia japonica “Variegata”) although it is the only one I have ever seen growing in a landscape.

Past the speckled leaves of the uncommon shrub is a path that draws the eye to the picturesque backyard. Familiar hostas, coral bells and liriope line the path and lead to a gate and arbor. Amongst them is a variegated ornamental grass, unusual in the shade, that neither Head nor I could positively identify.

Through the arbor, the back yard is the real masterpiece.

The space is partially shaded by the neighbors’ Sugar maple and hackberry, and power lines run through one side. Still, Head has found space for lots of plants, a small fish pond, a seating area, paths and a garden shed that seems a perfect extension to the garden itself.

Head tells me that the garden is really a memorial to her twin sister, who was the “real” gardener.

“When I bought the house, there was nothing back here.

Five dogs had been in here,” Head tells me. “I wanted to create something for her.”

Like all gardens, Head’s back yard has evolved as she learned more about plants. She admits to having to move plants to get the right combination of light, soil and water.

“Sometimes when you plant something, you might be mowing it the next year,” she jokingly warns. “You find out what works and what doesn’t work.”

What has worked is a combination of shrubs, ornamental grasses and perennial flowers.

Since most of the space is filled (less room for weeds), the garden takes less work now than it did in the early years. Head’s son, David, does help her, though, especially with the big projects.

Head does use a few brightly colored annuals to add color from strategically placed containers. Bright variegated coleus with ruffly leaves accent the other plants. Lantana, Head’s favorite plant, is tucked into nearly every empty space.

In addition to the aforementioned plants, Head has a few others that I rarely see in the home landscape. They are: • Joe Pye weed — a tall native perennial that is topped with a pinkish-purple flower from late summer to fall.

• Crape myrtle — a southern

I recently bought a pair of dressers, a three-drawer mirrored vanity with cabinets at both ends and a taller dresser with five drawers. A metal plate that reads "Austinsuite Registered Trade Mark" is nailed to the top right-hand side of each dresser. I would like to know more about the manufacturer and the pair's possible value.

SHARI HEAD has made the most of a small backyard setting by establishing a number of unique focal points and seasonlong color. shrub that often dies to the ground in our region and has brilliantly-colored blooms in the fall.

• Purple ninebark — a deeply colored large shrub that tolerates shade.

There is also a variety of sedum that I have not seen before, tucked in amongst several that are familiar.

Coral bells in mixed hues of green, yellow and purple line one side of the brick red path, while ornamental grasses fringe the opposite edge.

“I think you change things a little every year,” Head says.

This year’s addition was a patio where she has placed Adirondack chairs and a sun umbrella.

“It’s a nice place to come out in the morning and sit, and it is a few less flowers to tend to.”

Head can also watch the fish in the close-by pond.

Austinsuite was an affordable line of furniture manufactured

by F. Austin Leyton Ltd. in the 1950s-70s. The company was founded in London by four Austin brothers. It is no longer in business. Austinsuite furniture is often sold in England and some can be found in the United States. A single dresser with a detachable mirror recently sold for $496.

Tip: Old pantyhose are good to use to apply an oil finish to furniture. Remove all elastic first. The material does not leave lint.

Sister’s family needs to find own place Dear Annie: A year ago, my sister “Lois” left her boyfriend. She had no place to live, so my husband and I offered to let Lois and her four children move in with us. I have three teenagers myself, so our house became very crowded.

At the time, Lois was attending nursing school. She received government assistance and child support, and offered to help buy food for the household. I watched her kids, fed them healthy dinners and got them ready for bed.

When Lois later got a parttime job, we asked her to help pay for a portion of the electric and gas bills (about $125 a month).

Here’s the problem: Two months ago, Lois suddenly became interested in the groceries I was buying and how much they cost. She told me that her child support and government assistance were intended only to feed HER family of five. It felt like a slap in the face. I have stopped buying groceries for her kids, but I have watched her buy them junk food and fatty snacks. When I mentioned the unhealthy choices she was making, she told me to mind my own business.

Since Lois is no longer helping to pay for groceries as she promised or contributing anything other than a small

Dear Annie: When inviting a couple to celebrate their anniversary at a local restaurant with a group of people, should the host select the restaurant or ask the honoree if she has a preference? (Please note that the honoree is known to have preferences.) In our case, when the hostess learned anniesmailbox@comcast.net that the honoree did not like portion of the utility bills, I her choice, she felt insulted think she should find some- and canceled the event.

Also, when honoring somewhere else to live. If she can afford to go out with friends every weekend and rent a car to take vacations, she can pay a decent rent.

My parents and siblings say I’m being selfish, but I haven’t seen any of them offer to let Lois live with them for $125 a month. What do you say? — Feeling Used

‘Enthusiasm’ returns for eighth season A cause for celebration for many, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (9 p.m., HBO) returns for its eighth season. As we've come to expect from this series and the "Seinfeld" series that "Curb" star Larry David co-created, the comedy here is all about radical selfishness taken to absurd extremes. And if a theme emerges from these brilliantly small, tightly written minuets of pure silliness, it's that selfish pursuits can sometimes result in moments of nobility — no matter how unintended.

In an upcoming episode, Larry and his sidekick manager Jeff Garlin develop a taste for Palestinian chicken sold at a restaurant festooned with posters condemning Israel. Torn between his appetites and his ethnic loyalties, Larry ups the ante and embarks on a wild affair with an anti-Semitic Palestinian waitress.

Not to give too much away, but he ends up torn between his new lover and his gang of friends, who join a noisy mob protesting the right of a Palestinian chicken joint to open up next to the "sacred ground" of a Jewish deli.

However slight the story, this clearly echoes recent efforts in New York to keep a mosque from opening near the site of the old World Trade Center. Just as "Seinfeld" could turn issues as thorny as abortion into pure comedy, "Curb" manages to blend the ridiculous and profound in ways that will leave you breathless from laughing and amazed that comedy so petty could also be so audacious. And we expect no less from the mind of Larry David. ● The new series "The Indestructibles" (9 p.m., National Geographic) revisits news footage of horrific accidents and offers theories about how some victims survived. First up: the crash of a local news helicopter on a Brooklyn roof.

Raising of flag marks ‘new dawn’ for South Sudan A SOLDIER IN THE SUDAN PEOPLE'S LIBERATION ARMY, SPLA, raises the South Sudan flag at the independence ceremony in the capital, Juba, on Saturday.

South Sudan celebrated its first day as an independent nation Saturday, raising its flag for the first time before tens of thousands of cheering citizens elated to reach the end of a 50year struggle.

By Maggie Fick Associated Press Writer

JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN — South Sudan celebrated its first day as an independent nation Saturday, raising its flag before tens of thousands of cheering citizens elated to reach the end of a 50-year struggle.

U.S. President Barack Obama called the day a new dawn after the darkness of war, while visiting dignitaries offered both congratulations and prodding for South Sudan and its former ruler, Sudan, to avoid a return to conflict over serious and unresolved disagreements.

“The eyes of the world are now on us,” said South Sudan President Salva Kiir, who was inaugurated during a scorching midday ceremony. Kiir stressed that the people of South Sudan must advance their country together and unite as countrymen first, casting aside allegiances to the dozens of tribes that reside here.

Saturday meant that South Sudan and its black tribesmen would for the first time be linked politically with subSaharan Africa. Kenya and Uganda are already laying strong economic ties with their northern neighbor, an oil-rich country that may one day ship its oil to a Kenyan port, instead of through the pipelines controlled by Khartoum.

“From today our identity is southern and African, not Arabic and Muslim,” read a hand-painted sign that one man carried as he walked through the crowds.

South Sudan first celebrated its new status with a a raucous street party at midnight.

At a packed midday ceremony, the speaker of parliament read a proclamation of independence as the flag of Sudan was lowered and the flag of South Sudan was raised, sparking wild cheers from a crowd tens of thousands strong.

yelled, as other onlookers wiped away tears.

The U.S. and Britain, among others, announced their recognition of South Sudan as a sovereign nation.

“A proud flag flies over Juba and the map of the world has been redrawn,” Obama said in a statement. “These symbols speak to the blood that has been spilled, the

tears that have been shed, the ballots that have been cast, and the hopes that have been realized by so many millions of people.”

Sudan President Omar alBashir, a deeply unpopular man in Juba, arrived to a mixture of boos and murmurs.

He stood beside Kiir and smiled during the ceremony, and said in a speech that he respected the south’s choice to secede, even as he prodded Obama “to meet his promise and lift the sanctions imposed on Sudan.”

The U.S. has promised economic and political rewards to Khartoum if it allows the south to secede peacefully, but military standoffs in the contested border region of Abyei and new fighting in South Kordofan — a state in Sudan with many south-supporting residents — risk new north-south conflict. The U.S. has indicated that those issues need to be resolved before normalization of relations occur.

Obama said that South Sudan and Sudan must recognize that they will be more secure and prosperous if they move beyond past differences peacefully. He said the 2005 peace deal must be full implemented and the status of Abyei resolved.

In Khartoum, the former capital of the south, newspaper headlines bid goodbye, with one saying: “Time to Let Go.” “Today we have decided it is time to move forward toward the future,” wrote Adil Al-Baz, the editor of AlAhdath independent daily.

“Great people make use of big events to create new opportunities.”

The black African tribes of South Sudan and the mainly Arab north battled two civil wars over more than five decades, and some 2 million died in the latest war, from 1983-2005. It culminated in a 2005 peace deal that led to Saturday’s independence declaration.

MISSOURI RIVER FLOODING

Engineers anticipating more levee failures “

By Josh Funk

Associated Press Writer

OMAHA, NEB. — Several hundred thousand acres of rich Midwestern farmland and even some urban areas near the Missouri River are at risk of flooding this summer during months of historically high water that experts fear will overwhelm some levees, especially older ones.

Engineers who have studied past floods say the earthen levees in rural areas are at greater risk.

“Most of the levees are agricultural levees. They’re not engineered. They’re just dirt piled up,” said David Rogers, an engineering professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology.

So far, most levees have held along the 811 miles the Missouri travels from the last dam at Gavins Point in South Dakota to its confluence with the Mississippi River near St. Louis. The flooding thus far

has covered more than 560,000 acres of mostly rural land, including nearly 447,000 acres of farmland.

The water has forced some evacuations, but the extent of the damage may not be clear until it recedes.

That’s not expected to happen until the fall as the Army Corps of Engineers says it needs to continue releasing substantial amounts of water from upstream reservoirs inundated with heavy spring rains and melt from an above average Rocky Mountain snowpack.

The Corps predicts that the river will eventually rise high enough to flow over some 18 to 70 levees, mostly in rural areas of southeast Nebraska, southwest Iowa and Missouri. Other levees will become saturated, and water can erode their foundations, seep underneath or find other flaws to exploit.

A saturated levee may lose stability, potentially causing

Most of the levees are agricultural levees.

— David Rogers, engineering professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology

it to crumble, as one did in June near Hamburg, Iowa, allowing floodwater to cover several miles of farmland and threaten the town. Flaws in levees, such as animal burrows, can allow water to flow through and eventually destroy the structure.

“At times like these, this is when we find out where the weak spots are,” said Erik Loehr, an associate professor of engineering at the University of Missouri.

Rural levees, experts say, are likely to be older, privately maintained and not tall or

strong enough to stand up to such a long-running flood.

Corps officials and engineering experts are more confident that city areas such as Omaha, Kansas City and St. Joseph are well protected by substantial floodwalls that have been maintained.

Omaha’s main floodwall, for instance, is built to contain a river 40 feet deep — which is 4 feet higher than the river is expected to reach. But several of the rural levees in northwest Missouri are more than 2 feet shorter than the river’s expected crest, and some have already been exceeded.

Even stronger urban floodwalls and levees can falter against the destructive force of floodwaters. As a precaution, officials in Omaha and across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa, have developed plans to evacuate roughly 40,000 people from areas near the river in case a levee fails.

U.S. push for Middle East peace talks floundering

By Matthew Lee and Bradley Klapper Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s furious efforts to relaunch stalled IsraeliPalestinian peace talks this summer are going nowhere, and a looming U.N. confrontation could further set back prospects for a negotiated settlement any time soon.

Despite attempts to get the parties back to the table based on parameters that President Barack Obama outlined in a May speech, U.S. and other officials say neither side appears willing to commit to new discussions.

Senior officials from the international group of Mideast peacemakers — the U.S., the U.N., the European Union and Russia — planned to meet Monday in Washington. The goal is to revive the process by increasing pressure on the two sides to return to talks.

The mediators “will come together and will compare notes about where we are and plot a course forward,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Friday.

Yet repeated visits to Israel and the West Bank last month

by U.S. envoys have produced no tangible results. That’s been the case, too, in recent talks in Washington between U.S. officials and their Israeli and Palestinian counterparts.

This past week, the new U.S. special Mideast peace envoy, David Hale, and White House adviser Dennis Ross pressed the chief Palestinian peace negotiator on one of the biggest points of contention, a Palestinian plan to win U.N. recognition as an independent state.

Israel and the U.S. support an eventually independent Palestine but oppose the attempt to establish one without negotiation with the Jewish state.

In a sign of the intractability of the decades-long deadlock, negotiator Saeb Erekat said immediately after Wednesday’s meeting that the Palestinians were more determined than ever to win recognition when the U.N. General Assembly meets in September. Erekat said those opposing the Palestinians need to “rethink their position.”

The measure probably will pass, providing the Palestinians with increased diplomatic power, even if independence still will need the council’s approval. The U.S. would surely veto any such resolution.

One U.S. official privately described the overall atmosphere surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian peace process as gloomy. A second termed it depressing. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential meetings.

The deadlock had split the United States and its allies about how to restart the talks.

Until last week, the U.S. had resisted European calls for the meeting Monday, believing there was nothing new to discuss, officials said.

The U.S. concluded that it wasn’t worth continuing to fight the meeting despite the poor prospects for success, officials said.

Little of substance is expected.

The principals are Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton. They plan to a working dinner and then issue a written statement.

The U.S. and the Europeans want direct IsraeliPalestinian talks to resume before the Palestinians bring their independence case to the United Nations.

Aging boomers strain cities built for the young

By Lauren Neergaard Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — America’s cities are beginning to grapple with a fact of life: People are getting old, fast, and they’re doing it in communities designed for the sprightly.

To envision how this silver tsunami will challenge a youth-oriented society, just consider that seniors soon will outnumber schoolchildren in hip, fast-paced New York City.

It will take some creative steps to make New York and other cities age-friendly enough to help the coming crush of older adults stay active and independent in their own homes.

“It’s about changing the way we think about the way we’re growing old in our community,” said New York Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs.

“The phrase ‘end of life’ does not apply anymore.”

With initiatives such as using otherwise idle school buses to take seniors grocery shopping, the World Health Organization recognizes New York as a leader in this movement.

But it’s not alone.

Atlanta is creating what it calls “lifelong communities.”

Philadelphia is testing whether living in a truly walkable community really makes older adults healthier. In Portland, Ore., there’s a push to fit senior concerns such as accessible housing into the city’s new planning and zoning policies.

Such work is getting a late start considering how long demographers have warned that the population is about to get a lot grayer.

“It’s shocking how far behind we are, especially when you think about this fact — that if you make something age-friendly, that means it is going to be friendly for people of all ages, not just older adults,” said Margaret Neal of Portland State University’s Institute on Aging.

A staggering aging boom While this fledgling movement is being driven by nonprofit and government programs, New York aims to get private businesses to ante up, too.

Last year, East Harlem became the city’s first “aging improvement district.” Sixty stores, identified with window signs, agreed to put out folding chairs to let older customers rest as they do their errands. The stores also try to keep aisles free of tripping hazards and use larger type so signs are easier to read. A community pool set aside senior-only hours so older swimmers could get in their laps without faster kids and teens in the way.

On one long block, accountant Henry Calderon welcomes older passers-by to rest in his air-conditioned lobby even if they’re not customers. They might be, one day.

“It’s good for business, but it’s good for society,” too, he said.

The size of the aging boom is staggering. Every day for the next few decades, thousands of baby boomers will turn 65. That’s in addition to the oldest-old, the 85- to 90somethings whose numbers have grown by nearly onethird in the past decade, with no signs of slowing.

By 2050, 1 in 5 Americans

will be seniors. Worldwide, almost 2 billion people will be 60 or older, 400 million of them over 80.

That’s almost always viewed as a health issue, preparing for the coming wave of Alzheimer’s, or as a political liability, meaning how soon will Social Security go bust?

“We think this is something we should be celebrating,” says Dr. John Beard, who oversees the World Health Organization’s Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities.

“They need to live in an environment that allows them to participate.”

Addressing needs In East Harlem, a yellow school bus pulls up to a curb and 69-year-old Jenny Rodriguez climbs off. The bus had already dropped a load of kids at school. Now, before the afternoon trip home, it is shuttling older adults to a market where they flock to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Rodriguez usually goes shopping on foot, pulling along a small cart. It can be a hike. Supermarkets aren’t too common in this lowerincome part of the city, and there’s less to choose at tiny, pricier corner bodegas.

More than 200 times, school buses have taken older adults from senior centers to supermarkets in different neighborhoods. It’s just one of a variety of initiatives begun in 2009 by the New York Academy of Medicine and the city’s government to address the needs of older residents. Already, they’re showing results.

A city report found the number of crashes has dropped at busy intersections in senior-heavy communities where traffic signals now allow pedestrians a few more seconds to cross the street.

Artists volunteer to teach at senior centers in return for space to work on or display their own creations.

And a “Time Bank” is letting hundreds of people of different ages and with different skills essentially barter services. A retired English teacher may do some tutoring, for example, and use the credit she earns to get computer help from another volunteer.

Age-friendly changes Aging expert Andrew Scharlach of the University of California, Berkeley, sees a common thread in these changes and the work of other cities. Combat the social isolation that too easily sneaks up on older adults and it has a huge impact not just on how many years they will live, but how well they live them.

Cities and suburbs were designed for younger people, full of stairs and cars, he explained. As they become increasingly difficult to navigate, older people gradually retreat.

Revamping a lot of infrastructure may not happen in a tough economy. But some communities are building age-friendly changes into planned upgrades or maintenance, such as New York’s street crossings, or into requirements for future development.

The WHO’s Beard says some changes aren’t that costly, noting that seniors around the world say more benches and access to bathrooms will help them get out and about.
