JOINT REPLACEMENTS

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See video at WellCommons.com

Seven years ago, I was training for a half marathon and injured my right hip to the point I could barely walk.

During the next two years, after consulting with a couple of doctors and physical therapists, I eventually was referred to Dr. Kelly Hendricks, an orthopedic specialist at Kansas University Hospital.

Sitting in an exam room, my husband and I nervously awaited the diagnosis.

Did I have a tumor? Would I need surgery? Was there a treatment?

The doctor took one look at my X-rays and said that I would need a hip replacement. And then came these two words: Stop running.

Gulp! That was a difficult pill to swallow for this lifelong runner. He said I could bicycle, swim or walk. But no more running.

Hendricks anticipated I would need the hip replacement within one to five years.

“You will know when you’re ready,” he said. ●●●

About 230,000 hips are replaced each year in the United States. Along with hips, other joint replacements include knees, shoulders, hands, elbows, fingers and ankles.

Knees are the most common with about 543,000 each year, followed by hips and then shoulders.

Fire engines and parks and recreation services will take a bigger hit than expected in Lawrence’s 2012 budget, as a last-minute deal lessened a proposed property tax increase on city residents.

City commissioners on Tuesday unanimously took off the table a proposed 2.8 mill increase in the city’s property tax rate for 2012 and instead said they would not raise the mill levy more than 1.88 mills.

But the smaller tax increase will come at a price to at least a pair of city departments.

Remaining in the budget, though, will be about $535,000 to fund an increase in compensation for city employees, and $400,000 to fund four new police officer positions and one existing detective position that currently is funded with an expiring grant.

“One of the things that is important here is we have made a commitment to our employees,” City Commissioner Mike Amyx said. “The people who truly work for this community, we can’t thank Please see CITY, page 2A ● No property tax increase expected from

Motorists asked to avoid Sixth St., downtown river bridges today

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Really, stay off of Sixth Street — or at least the portion near downtown Lawrence.

City Hall leaders on Tuesday were making another plea to motorists to avoid the area of Sixth Street between Missouri and Massachusetts streets for several days.

Crews began repaving the portion of Sixth Street near the entrance to downtown today, but city leaders were warning that the work will be even more disruptive today.

The city is asking motorists to not use the downtown Kansas River bridges today. Instead, they’re suggesting motorists coming from the north use the Kansas Turnpike bridge, which will allow people to enter the city through the West Lawrence interchange.

“I hate to send people onto the turnpike to avoid our construction area,” said Mark Thiel, the city’s Please see SIXTH, page 2A

Incandescent bulbs still to be phased out

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

How many members of Congress does it take to change a light bulb bill? Not enough, apparently.

On Tuesday, House Republicans failed to get a bill passed that would have stopped the implementation of new energy-saving standards for light bulbs. The vote, 233-193, fell short of the two-thirds majority needed for passage.

The Brickers Earlier this week, House Republicans argued the bill Mr. Bricker’s survivors pointed to an overreaching include his mother, Anna government.

newer technology saves more energy, the bulbs also cost more upfront.

Some folks in Lawrence were monitoring the bill closely. Scott Allegrucci, executive director for Great Plains Alliance for Clean Energy, said the bill was worrisome for organizations like his.

“When you look at the nature of it, there is a strong suggestion that they are trying to turn back anything that is deemed a response to a carbon constraint,” Allegrucci said.

Even without the threat of climate change, Allegrucci said “there are a ton of good reasons why energy efficiency measures, including light bulbs, are good ideas.”

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, using a more energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulb can save $40 over its lifetime.

The switch from incandescent to CFLs is one many in Lawrence have made as part of the statewide energy saving competition, Take Charge Challenge. In Lawrence, nearly 21,000 light bulbs have been switched to CFLs since the competition started in January.

Linda Cottin, owner of Cottin’s Hardware, said that hardware stores and lighting

companies are aware of the light bulb changes that will kick in soon. But no one is quite clear on what exactly will change.

The industry has successfully navigated through the government’s banning of other products, such as certain chemicals and Freon.

Typically, they are phased out slowly after manufacturers stop producing them.

“I definitely would like to see the country move forward with wiser manufacturing practices, but personally I’m not positive banning incandescent bulbs and replacing them with CFLs, which has mercury in them, is the best,” Cottin said.

Over the past few years, Cottin has seen sales from incandescent bulbs dwindle.

The store’s onetime 12-foot long display of incandescent light bulbs has shrunk to three feet.

“It is shifting, but still there are so many light fixtures out there where there is not an option to switch,” she said.

On the other hand, the law could be just what the industry needs, Cottin said.

“I think there are alternatives out there that we could come up with that could work, that could make sense.

Maybe this (law) is what is needed to make that happen,” she said.

hibited. Massachusetts Street also will be closed at Seventh Street in order to prohibit people leaving downtown to access the bridges.

The bridge disruptions are expected to last into the early evening. Thiel said emergency vehicles will have access to the bridges at all times to respond to incidents in North Lawrence.

“We’ll let them drive over anything we have on the ground to respond to an emergency,” Thiel said.

The overall paving project for Sixth Street is expected to

last until Aug. 12. After crews finish paving Sixth Street from Massachusetts to Kentucky, work will shift to repaving Sixth Street from Kentucky to Missouri. The project ultimately will repave Sixth Street all the way to Iowa Street.

“Once the project gets past Tennessee Street, it will be a lot less restrictive,” Thiel said. “There is just such a convergence in the area were working in currently.”

with coach Bill Self’s foundation about a public-private partnership to build a new west Lawrence recreation center. Commissioners have not yet taken any formal action on that project, but Corliss previously had proposed that architectural plans be developed in 2012. Whether that still would be the case was unclear Tuesday evening.

“I think it is going to be very difficult to take on new projects,” Corliss said.

Corliss said that philosophy carried over to the city possibly buying and restoring the Santa Fe Depot at Seventh and New Jersey streets. The leaders of a citizens group seeking the building’s preservation urged the city to not close the door on the project.

approved expansion of the Lawrence Public Library. The $18 million project accounts for 1.7 mills of the increase.

The remainder of the mill levy increase funds police officers and increased wages for city employees.

“I can tell you everyone up here is intimately concerned with coming up with a tax number that provides services at the level we have come to expect, but also keeps our tax bills at a reasonable level,” Cromwell said.

The original proposal to raise the mill levy by 2.8 mills would have increased the property taxes on a $200,000 home by $64.40 per year. The new proposal of a 1.88 mill levy increase would raise property taxes on the same home by $43.24 per year.

Commissioners did not give final approval to the budget on Tuesday. Instead, they committed to the maximum mill levy for 2012. The commission still could cut the budget before giving final approval in mid-August. Commissioners will hold a formal public hearing on the budget at their Aug. 2 commission meeting.

Mayor optimistic Mayor Aron Cromwell said the city’s actions on Tuesday hadn’t killed the possibilities for the depot. He said the City Commission still will have the ability to look at the depot and other projects, even if the city manager thinks they’ll be more difficult to fund.

Overall, Cromwell said he’s pleased with how the budget is shaping up. The majority of the 1.88 mill levy increase goes to fund a voter-

Commission to appeal SRS closure City commissioners are ready to send a letter to Gov. Sam Brownback urging him to reconsider the decision to close Lawrence’s SRS office.

Commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting unanimously directed Mayor Aron Cromwell to sign a letter asking the governor to keep the office open. Cromwell said he wanted to give the Douglas County Commission the chance to join in the letter, but commissioners urged staff members to write the letter soon.

“I think time is of the essence here,” said City Commissioner Mike Amyx. “I think the hardship created by so

many people is something I can’t even guess what it will be like for clients of SRS.” Commissioners gave Cromwell the authority to sign the letter without it first being reviewed by the full commission. But commissioners said they did want the letter to clearly ask the governor to keep the existing office intact rather than asking for SRS to keep at least some presence in the city.

“We don’t want a watering down of the SRS presence in the city,” City Commissioner Bob Schumm said.

Proposal would give Obama new power With compromise talks at a vituperative standstill, Senate Republicans unexpectedly offered Tuesday to hand President Barack Obama new powers to avert a first-ever government default threatened for Aug. 2.

Under a proposal outlined by Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Obama could request — and likely secure — increases of up to $2.5 trillion in the government’s borrowing authority in three separate installments over the next year, as long as he simultaneously proposed spending cuts of greater size.

The debt limit increases would take effect unless blocked by Congress under special rules that would require speedy action — and even then Obama could exercise his authority to veto such legislation. Significantly, the president’s spending cuts would be debated under normal procedures, with no guarantee they ever come to a final vote.

District adjusts to spending savings sooner

Leader’s half brother gunned down The powerful half brother of President Hamid Karzai was gunned down in his heavily fortified home by a close associate Tuesday, setting off a power struggle in southern Afghanistan and raising doubts about stability in a critical area for the U.S.led war effort.

The assassination of Ahmed Wali Karzai, a wheeler-dealer and the key to his half brother’s power in the south, leaves the president without an influential ally to handle the tricky job of balancing the interests of the region’s tribal and political leaders, drug runners, insurgents and militias.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, but officials immediately cast doubt that they were involved. If they were, it could undercut the president’s own effort to talk peace with insurgents as foreign forces begin their exit.

Rep. Ron Paul to retire from Congress U.S. Rep. Ron Paul said Tuesday he will concentrate on running for president and will not seek reelection to Congress, ending a 24-year career as one of the more colorful members of the House of Representatives.

The 75-year-old Republican said he will serve out his term through December 2012, whether his presidential campaign is successful or not. He told The Associated Press he has been criticized for running for Congress while seeking the presidency in the past.

Paul said the growing support for his 2012 presidential bid convinced him he should not divide his energies. He won a straw poll at the Republican Leadership Conference held in New Orleans last month.

Political unity urged at service for Ford First ladies, past and present, and others who called the White House home remembered Betty Ford on Tuesday, not just for her decades-long work against substance abuse but for her contributions to a political era when friendship among lawmakers helped them govern.

Speakers, including former first lady Rosalynn Carter and journalist Cokie Roberts, also hailed her as a force of nature whose boundless energy and enthusiasm, coupled with a steadfast determination to do what was right, pushed the country toward a commitment to equal rights for women and other causes.

Ford, who died at the age of 93 on Friday, reshaped the role of first lady with her plain-spoken candidness.

The former first lady mapped out plans for her funeral well in advance, including who would deliver her eulogies, and Roberts said she told her to be sure to let people know that politics does not have to be as acrimonious as it is today.

Heat wave kills 4,300 turkeys The heat wave engulfing Kansas has taken a toll at a southeastern poultry farm where roughly 4,300 turkeys died over the weekend.

Holly Capron said Tuesday she and her husband have been running big fans and fog nozzles for several days in the poultry buildings at their Cherokee County farm. They’ve also had a tractor pulling a spray wagon to water down the birds.

But none of that was enough Sunday, when the heat soared to 110 degrees with a heat index of 118.

Capron says it was 106 degrees in the buildings where they raise 22,000 turkeys under contract for Butterball.

Capron says it took more than 26 hours to dig the 10-foot hole and bury the dead birds Monday. Each turkey weighed nearly 50 pounds.

It’s located next to KU Hospital and will serve as the main hub for outpatient care.

Patients will no longer have to meander through the hospital or KU Medical Center for outpatient appointments and tests.

Jon Jackson, senior vice president and chief administrative officer for KU Hospital, said the medical building will benefit patients and medical staff.

It will: ● Consolidate physicians who are currently spread across the campus. They will be able to consult each other in a more timely, efficient manner. ● Be easier to access for patients. There are about 225,000 patient visits a year, and a majority of them come from outside the Kansas City metropolitan area.

“We really needed to provide simple directions and

PUBLIC CELEBRATION A ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday at the new Kansas University Physicians Medical Office Building in Kansas City, Kan. The $85 million, 209,000-squarefoot building is located next to KU Hospital on the northwest corner of Olathe Boulevard and Cambridge Street.

Hospital, university and physicians group leaders will speak along with Mayor Joe Reardon of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County.

simple access for people to get in to see their physicians because if they are driving in from western Kansas, it is already a stressful enough trip,” Jackson said.

The building is a collaborative effort among KU Hospital, KU Medical Center and the KU Physicians group. KU Hospital owns and maintains the 209,000-square-foot building and leases it to KU Medical Center and in turn, KUMC

provides the space for the physicians to practice there.

There are 220 exam rooms, and they are equipped to handle electronic medical records. In addition to physician clinics, the building contains laboratory and radiology services.

While the building connects to the hospital, it has its own entrance from Olathe Boulevard, and there is a new 600-car parking garage across the street.

The building also contains a new two-floor wing for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine.

“We are excited,” said Danielle Harrison, human resources administrator for the physicians group. “I think the flow of the clinic will be incredible — just having that consistency on each floor is going to be very helpful instead of navigating through the big maze on campus.”

County employees will not be seeing any extra dollars added to their paychecks if county commissioners approve the 2012 Douglas County recommended budget — and county residents will not be seeing any dollars added to their property taxes.

Douglas County commissioners met this week with local agencies and county department heads, working on the $67 million proposal prepared by County Administrator Craig Weinaug.

In the proposed budget, county revenues remain flat. Douglas County expenditures will remain general- Weinaug ly unchanged, except for increases in fuel costs related to road construction planned for 2012. The increased fuel costs will be covered by spending down the road and bridge maintenance fund by more than $700,000.

Commissioners will discuss next week whether to fund as many as 15 agencies, including t h e L aw re n ce Co m m u n i ty Shelter, Lawrence Humane S o c i e ty a n d He a l t h Ca re Access.

Th e p ro p o s e d b u d ge t includes an option to hold off on funding the sheriff department’s federally mandated transition to digital radio technology. That project, which cost estimates put at $3 million to $11 million, is one the county could hold off or cut funding to until a more accurate cost estimation is available. The law requires all radio transmissions to be in digital format by 2018.

It is possible, Weinaug said, that county workers could get a raise. Should options be cut and not all the supplemental Please see COUNTY, page 5A

Hendricks put it this way: “If you look at surgery and giving people back quality of life, hip replacement is always in the Top 5 and it’s pretty much No. 1 as far as impacting people’s lives long term. Hip replacement is probably the best thing we’ve come up with in the 20th century.�

DR. KELLY HENDRICKS, an orthopedic surgeon at Kansas University Hospital, talks about the wear that has occurred over time on Karrey Britt’s hip joints.

Dr. Doug Stull, of OrthoKansas, said a patient’s options typically are: � Do nothing and live with it. Take an over-the-counter pain medication and do the best you can. � Get injections of Cortisone, a powerful anti-inflammatory medication, or Visco supplementation, a gel-like substance that enables bones to move smoothly over each other and as a shock absorber for joint loads. � Get a joint replacement. “To go from taking Tylenol, to go Stull into the operating room for three hours ... it takes a lot of thinking to come to terms with that,�

Stull said.

I’ve talked to several orthopedists, and their advice is the same: Wait until you can’t tolerate the pain anymore or it keeps you from doing the things you like to do. Also, no two cases are alike.

When given those three options, more people are choosing to have joint replacement, and at younger ages.

The number of hip replacements is expected to grow 174 percent to 572,000 surgeries each year by 2030, according to a 2007 article published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. Knee replacements are projected to increase 673 percent to 3.4 million a year.

At OrthoKansas, the surgeons do almost as many hip and knee replacements for people in their 50s as they do for people in their 70s. “People just want to be more active as they get older and they don’t want to sit and do nothing,� Dr. Richard Wendt said. ���

increased pain came slowly.

The pain subsided for a while because I stopped running. Then, it became harder to walk, to stand for long periods, and to get in and out of my car. My other muscles started to compensate for my weak hips. The pain was spreading to my lower back and down my legs.

There’s also a fine balance between doing too much and not enough when it comes to arthritis. It also can be painful to sit for a long period of time, for example, on an airplane or in a car.

In December, during my annual visit with my primary doctor, she said, “You really should think about getting the surgery. Think about how it’s affecting your daily life.�

She was right. My husband and I weren’t going on trips anymore. During our last trip to Las Vegas, it was painful just walking up and down the Strip. I didn’t like to go shopping anymore. Putting on my shoes was a challenge. The list goes on.

I made an appointment with Hendricks in March. He didn’t even have to ask. He knew I was ready. He also said my left hip was now as bad as my right.

I scheduled surgery for May 19 and decided to take a free class in April to learn about what to expect during surgery and recovery. As I listened to Andi Dohlman, orthopedic nurse coordinator, talk about using walkers and canes and depending on people to help with basic needs during recovery, a tear rolled down my cheek. I couldn’t believe this was happening. I am the person who takes care of others. I am the person who likes to go, go, go.

But at least there was a treatment, and for that I was grateful.

That’s another thing doctors agree on. For improving a person’s quality of life, joint replacement is one of the best

KU HOSPITAL

5 inductees earn Hall of Fame spots

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

WESTWOOD — Five inductees, including former Kansas University chancellor Robert Hemenway, will form the inaugural class of KU Hospital’s new Hall of Fame.

Other individual honorees are George Farha, chair- Hemenway man of the KU Hospital Authority Board from 1999 to 2008 who advocated for the hospital’s patient-first approach, and Annette Farha Bloch, a philanthropist who has donated $21 million to support cancer and heart patient care.

HemenBloch way is being honored for his proposal to remove university control from the hospital and allowing it to become an independent public authority.

They join two companies that are being honored for their service to the hospital.

The Polsinelli Shughart PC law firm provided the legal foundation for the KU Hospital authority, and United Excel is a general contracting company that has helped shape the hospital’s renovations and new construction projects.

Bob Page, KU Hospital’s CEO, said that KU Hospital hadn’t done as good of a job recognizing its history as the KU Medical Center.

“When you walk the campus, the school has done a wonderful job of recording their history,” he said.

KU Hospital, he said, has two histories, one from its founding until 1998, and another from 1998 onward, when it has thrived after becoming an independent authority.

He said this hall of fame would honor the second period of KU Hospital’s history.

“If we don’t start marking history, we’re missing the opportunity,” he said.

A celebration dinner was scheduled Tuesday evening to honor the inductees at the InterContinental hotel on the Country Club Plaza.

Budget increase planned next year WESTWOOD — Kansas University Hospital leaders approved a budget for the upcoming fiscal year that is 17.4 percent above its projected expenses for the previous year.

Hospital officials said that the $969 million operating budget increased by that amount because of the hospital’s planned merger with the Kansas City Cancer Center.

That move added 21 hematologist/oncologists, six radiation oncologists and other nonphysician staff members to the hospital’s employees.

The action was taken during the KU Hospital Authority Board’s meeting Tuesday, during which members also reappointed Bob Honse as the board’s chairman and David M. Kerr as the board’s vice chairman.

Honse and Kerr were also named to the board’s nominating committee, which submits names to the governor to fill board vacancies. Also named to that committee were board members Betty Keim, Charles T. Sunderland and Pat Gaunce.

requests approved, commissioners could allocate some of the savings for small raises.

Weinaug said the move, if made, could help the county stay competitive with city positions.

Meanwhile, the county is trying to determine what effect the planned closure of COUNTY the local COMMISSION Social and Rehabilitation Services office will have on social service agencies.

Weinaug said agencies affected by the closure will be invited to meet with commissioners next Tuesday to discuss the issue.

Commissioners will meet next Tuesday and Wednesday to continue budget discussions. The final budget is scheduled for approval Aug. 10.

SRS to crack down on fraud the closures are necessary to cut the state budget.

Advocates for the poor and those with disabilities say closing the office will mean an increase in crime and more emergencies because people will not be able to access services.

More than 600 people attended a meeting in Lawrence on Monday to protest the proposal. Siedlecki declined to attend the meeting but met earlier in the day with Journal-World reporters and editors.

Among the topics he covered, Siedlecki said SRS will mount an anti-fraud and abuse effort including the hiring of an anti-fraud director.

Traveling around the state to various SRS off ices, Siedlecki said he is hearing anecdotes about people abusing welfare benefits.

“They’re telling us horror stories,” he said.

Some of those, he said, include stories about people illegally selling Vision Cards, debit cards containing public assistance benefits, such as Food Stamps.

He said a person has to claim to have lost their Vision Card 10 times before SRS can investigate whether they are being sold. He said now SRS will start investigating after the second loss.

The layout is: ● Level 1 — family medicine and lab. ● Level 2 — imaging, neurosurgery and urology. ● Level 3 — ear, nose and throat; and pediatrics. ● Level 4 — allergy/immunology/rheuma tology; dermatology; general internal medicine; infectious disease; nephrology; and pulmonary medicine. ● Level 5 — endocrinology; osteoporosis; metabolism and diabetes care; gastroenterology; hepatology/liver transplant; obstetrics and gynecology; high-risk pregnancy. ● Level 6 — psychiatry.

On Tuesday, employees

had their first chance to tour the building.

“Wow,” “amazing” and “spa-like,” were common words that they used to describe the building’s modern furniture, artwork and other features. There are large waiting rooms with windows and natural lighting throughout.

The building is the first one on the KU medical campus designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environment Design silver certification — meaning it was designed and built with the environment in mind.

“It focuses on local materials, sustainable materials and a healthy workplace,” said Paul Kramer, lead consultant on the construction project.

For example, they tried to recycle as much as possible during construction. The building also uses controls

for heating, air conditioning and lights.

The medical building has been in the planning stages since 2002, and the groundbreaking ceremony took place in 2009. The Level 1 and 2 services will open Monday, and the others will move during the following weeks.

Orthopedics and Sports Medicine will be the last to open in the new building on Aug. 15.

Nasia Spann, a certified medical assistant in orthopedics, said she can’t wait. Her department will go from six exam rooms to 16, which likely will mean less waiting time.

“I just think it’s going to be better for patient quality care,” she said.

TOPEKA — Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. says his agency will focus on stopping waste and fraud.

“We have to have people’s trust that we are spending money wisely,” Siedlecki said Monday in an interview with the Journal-World.

Siedlecki has stirred a public outcry with his decision to shut down nine SRS off ices, including Lawrence’s, which is by far the largest office set for closure.

Siedlecki and his boss, Gov. Sam Brownback, have said

“That’s the advice we were given,” she reiterated Tuesday.

That message changed last month, Johnson said, when she and other budget directors gathered for a workshop with the Kansas State Department of Education. No, the state folks said, the accounts must be no higher than 6 percent of operating budgets, without exception.

“The law didn’t change, but you change what you do so you don’t get a ticket.”

On Tuesday, Dennis said he didn’t know about any “difference in interpretation” regarding the requirements for spending down savings, only that the law’s the law.

And the deadline is July 1.

“We re-emphasized it this year, at the budget workshop,” Dennis said. “It was a reminder.”

Now district administrators and board members will be left to determine how to spend the money.

member who had approved the budget plan calling for a gradual expenditure of contingency funds, worries that decisions during the next 12 months might threaten a long-term focus on targeting specific areas of concern: boosting the number of students and schools making adequate yearly progress on standardized tests, closing the achievement gap between overall students and those considered at risk, and more.

Stretching out the use of contingency funds had been expected to help prolong such programs through continued periods of tight budgets, she said, but such goals now will become only more difficult.

Vandals cause $25,000 in damage to stadium

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Vandals have caused at least $25,000 in damage to the new Eudora District Stadium, putting community members in an uproar and prompting the school district to close the stadium to the public for now.

“This certainly is an unfortunate event for the patrons of the Eudora school district who invested a lot in this particular facility,” Superintendent Don Grosdidier said.

“Now, we’re having to shut it down for a time until we can get it cleaned up and provide for a little better security.

“The actions of a few are causing problems for the many, unfortunately.”

Eudora police are investigating the vandalism after school officials reported the damage Friday. Sgt. Tom Willis, a Eudora police spokesman, said someone — likely several suspects — spray painted profanities and rude images on the field’s artificial turf, the wall of a concession stand and a water tower near the stadium on the Eudora High School campus, 2203 Church St.

The new stadium, which was constructed with funds from a 2007 voter-approved bond issue, opened last fall, Grosdidier said. It cost just under $2 million, and it had been open to the public for walking and jogging.

Grosdidier said school officials believe the vandalism occurred overnight Thursday.

The main problem is damage to the artificial turf, and the school district is working with its contractor to explore its options on how to repair the damage. But that part is still up in the air, he said.

“We just hope to find out who’s responsible and seek any damages that we can,” Grosdidier said.

Eudora Police Department is asking for the public’s help.

Anyone with information in the case is asked to call the department at 785-542-3121.

“It’s a new facility that cost a lot of money to build. It’s a very nice facility,” Willis said.

“For somebody to do this is really putting people in an uproar, as it should.”

KU censures professor for parking ticket incident

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Kansas University has censured an architecture professor after an altercation involving a parking ticket.

Dennis Sander, a KU associate professor of architecture, was censured this week after a Feb. 4 incident when he “engaged in unprofessional, threatening, and abusive behavior” toward two student employees and a KU public safety officer, according to the censure notice.

KU Police Capt. Schuyler Bailey said Sander was yelling and cursing at the students over a parking ticket, but the issue was resolved and no criminal charges were filed.

That makes Sander the second professor the university has censured since December 2010. KU censured David Guth, associate professor of journalism, for engaging “in unprofessional, threatening, and abusive behavior towards another faculty member” during an Oct. 8, 2010, incident.

Censure remains relatively rare at KU. Jill Jess, a university spokeswoman, said before those two incidents, the previous time the university censured a faculty member was in 1993.

In both recent cases, notifi-

cation of the censure appeared in The Oread, the university’s newsletter for faculty and staff, in its “News in Brief” section.

“A ‘News in Brief’ section, whether in print or online, has been the consistent location for such notices to campus,” Jess said.

Censure is the third-most severe punishment a faculty member can receive, behind suspension and dismissal, and requires approval by the university chancellor as outlined in the university’s faculty rights code.

Complaints could come from a variety of sources, Jess said, but any complaint that could result in sanctions is reviewed by the provost. If that review determines that a faculty member could face sanctions, the faculty member is notified in writing and can request a hearing before either the university’s Judicial Board or its Faculty Rights Board.

The board forwards its recommendation to the chancellor, who makes the final decision on disciplinary action.

Jess did not say whether censure was the only disciplinary action taken against faculty members in these situations, calling them personnel matters.

case, according to U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom’s office.

A 26-year-old Lawrence man pleaded no contest Tuesday morning to having a sexual relationship at a west Lawrence apartment with a 14-year-old girl over a sevenweek period.

District Judge Kay Huff accepted the plea to attempted aggravated indecent liberties with a child and convicted Devin Rapp of the charge.

Prosecutors in February filed seven charges against Rapp accusing him of having a sexual relationship with the girl from December 2010 to Jan. 31, but he pleaded to the one felony count Tuesday. Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, said prosecutors also wouldn’t file charges in connection with a second investigation in exchange for the plea.

Huff told Rapp, who has been free on $25,000 bond, that he could face from 31 months to 11 years in prison, although defense attorney David Brown said he believed Rapp had minimal criminal history, meaning he would fall on the low end because of state sentencing guidelines.

Huff also said Rapp could fall within a “border box” where the judge could decide between a prison sentence or granting probation at his Sept.

16 sentencing. Rapp would also have to register with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

“You will be classified as a sex offender because of this plea,” the judge said.

Eudora man faces child sex crime charges

Man gets over 12 years in prison for robberies A federal judge has sentenced a 61-year-old Abilene man to serve more than 12 years in prison for robbing a Lawrence clothing store and two other businesses in Overland Park and Topeka in May 2010, federal prosecutors said.

Larry Leonard Rice had pleaded guilty in November to three counts of robbery and interfering with interstate commerce. According to his plea agreement, Rice turned himself in to Johnson County authorities May 30, 2010, and confessed to robbing a bank in Overland Park on May 29, a Michaels arts and crafts store in Topeka on May 25 and Maurices, 3226 Iowa, in Lawrence on May 19.

In all three robberies, Rice said he placed a black piece of cardboard meant to look like the butt of a handgun in his waistband. He would lift up his shirt to display the cardboard and scare workers into giving him money.

He took about $1,500 in Overland Park, $428 in Topeka and $300 in Lawrence and said he committed the robberies because he owed $6,000 to someone.

U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia sentenced Rice on Monday. Lawrence police, the FBI and the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office investigated the

Douglas County prosecutors Friday filed three charges against a man accused of sexually abusing a 6-year-old girl in Eudora earlier this year.

The 26-year-old man, who was identified as a transient Eudora man in jail records Monday, faces one count of child rape and two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, all of which are punishable by a sentence of 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, said prosecutors allege the crimes occurred between Feb. 1 and June 30.

McGowan also said the girl’s 3-year-old brother was also part of the investigation.

Eudora police have said that the children were former Eudora residents and that the suspect was brought to Eudora from Spring Hill for questioning in the case.

James George, Douglas County’s pro tem judge, kept the man’s bond at $100,000 and ordered him to have no contact with the children if he posts bond.

The Journal-World generally does not identify sex crime suspects unless they are convicted.

Man accused of hitting estranged wife with car Lawrence police Monday arrested a 35-year-old Lawrence man accused of striking a woman with a vehicle in the Holcom Park parking lot.

Douglas County prosecutors filed an aggravated battery charge against Michael C. Pringle.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a police spokesman, said a 35-year-old Lawrence woman alleged Pringle, her estranged husband, knocked her to the ground with his car at 6:30 p.m. Monday in a lot in the 2600 block of Lawrence Avenue.

The woman said before the incident they were arguing about one of their children.

Sarna said the woman had minor arm and leg injuries but was not taken to the hospital.

Police later found Pringle, interviewed him and arrested him on suspicion of aggravated battery.

A judge Tuesday afternoon set his bond at $5,000 cash or surety and ordered him to have no contact with the woman.

Obama seeks to punish rich

EDITORIALS

SRS edict

“Nothing succeeds like success.”

— Alexandre Dumas, 1802-1870

The stated desire of SRS officials to “work with the community” should have started well before they made the decision to close Lawrence’s SRS office.

T

here was “no politics” involved in the decision to close the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services office in Lawrence, SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki told a group of JournalWorld editors and reporters Monday.

It was simply the hard reality of having to satisfy a $42 million budget cut approved by the Kansas Legislature. Siedlecki said he didn’t fight the size of the cut during the legislative session because he thought the agency he has led for less than six months should do its share to help cut the state budget.

Siedlecki and the two aides that accompanied him brought along the facts and figures that they said justify the closing of the Lawrence off ice, but for the people of Lawrence and Douglas County, the closure decision and the process by which that decision was reached still don’t add up.

Initially, SRS said it wouldn’t eliminate any of the 87 positions at the Lawrence office.

However, on Tuesday, Siedlecki promised only that there would be “no layoffs.” If Lawrence employees quit rather than move to another office, their positions might be eliminated unless they are considered “critical.”

There will be no reduction in local services, Siedlecki and his aides said. The county will continue to be served full-time by SRS workers that handle child in need of care cases. If someone offers SRS some free office space, they will try to have caseworkers available locally a couple of days a week. It’s not unusual, they say, for local entities to provide free space to SRS. And they hope more people will use the Internet to access services. Statewide, only about 16 percent of SRS services currently are accessed on the Internet, but they want that to increase.

They say the are working with local “stakeholders” like Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center to help ease the transition.

Have agencies like Bert Nash and the Lawrence Community Shelter expressed concern about the added responsibility their agencies will have to help clients access SRS services? No, we haven’t really heard that, the SRS officials said. That message came through loud and clear at a public meeting Monday night at Plymouth Congregational Church, but no state SRS officials attended.

The process by which this decision was reached is frustrating to many local residents.

Siedlecki said his office didn’t seek local input during the decision-making process because legislators and others across the state would have risen up in defense of their local offices.

That probably was a safe assumption, considering that more than 500 people attended Monday night’s meeting organized by local legislators.

So rather than seeking input from local officials or perhaps considering a more moderate approach to downsizing the Lawrence office, SRS officials simply decided to announce the closing and deal with the details later. Siedlecki said on Monday that “we really want to work with the community to make sure that we do have adequate coverage.”

It’s unfortunate that state SRS officials didn’t do a better job of working with the community before this decision was handed down.

We hope they will try harder in the future.

According to Siedlecki, there is no possibility that the state will reconsider the closing of the Lawrence SRS office. If the decision stands, local officials and nonprofit agencies will have little choice but to try to work with state officials to minimize the negative impact on Lawrence and its residents. They currently do an outstanding job of providing and coordinating needed services for local residents who face a number of physical, mental and financial challenges. That job apparently will become far more difficult in the months to come.

If new millionaires or billionaires were created every time President Obama and his fellow liberals disparage “millionaires and billionaires,” there would be far more of them than there are today. And that would be a good thing because it would mean more people are succeeding.

This president, more than any other in my lifetime, seems determined to punish and discourage success and the hard work, risktaking and values by which one must live in order to attain it. He blasts people who fly on private planes, though he flies on Air Force One, the ultimate private plane, which taxpayers pay for.

He doesn’t like yachts, or specifically the people who can afford to buy them. And yet the people who make the private planes and yachts have jobs precisely because others have achieved a level of success that enables them to afford such luxury.

Recall during the George H.W. Bush administration when congressional Democrats persuaded Bush to sign a bill increasing the luxury tax on yachts in exchange for a promise — later broken — to reduce spending. The result was fewer people bought yachts, boat builders were laid off and Congress later repealed the tax hike. Don’t liberal Democrats ever learn economic principles, or does their class warfare trump all else?

People who envy the successful won’t receive any of the money higher taxes might bring in. Con-

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

“

There is something deeply repulsive, even unAmerican, about this war on achievers.” gress will spend it long before it “trickles down” to the poor and even if the poor did get some of the largess from the wealthy, when the money runs out they would likely remain poor because their attitude toward “entitlements,” rather than wealth building would remain unchanged.

Isn’t that the story of the failed welfare system? Welfare mostly subsidizes people in poverty, helping few escape from it.

In their hearts, most people who are poor would like to be rich, or at least self-sustaining, but this president never talks about how they might achieve that goal. Instead, he criticizes those who made the right choices and now enjoy the fruits of their labor. Rather than use successful people as examples for the poor to follow, the president seeks to punish the rich with higher taxes and more regulations on their businesses.

President Calvin Coolidge,

who is receiving another look by some historians, said in 1919, “The great aim of our government is to protect the weak, to aid them to become strong.” See the difference? President Obama apparently thinks the weak and poor can never become strong and rich without government, though government has a poor track record of aiding people in either endeavor.

Another Coolidgeism: “Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.”

Pulling down the strong seems to preoccupy this administration and congressional Democrats. Is that unfair? Where, then, can one find a champion of achievement, risk-taking and capitalism among the Democratic leadership?

Many of them are rich; they just don’t want too many of the rest of us to become rich. If we do, we might not need government, or them. And we might just vote Republican.

There is something deeply repulsive, even unAmerican, about this war on achievers. We once held them in higher regard because they built and sustained the nation. What do the unsuccessful produce?

Wealth is a sign of achievement, a reward for risks taken.

And being poor is not a crime, unless those in poverty refuse to strive to overcome it.

That’s the message this president should be broadcasting, not one that trashes success and promotes class division and envy of the successful.

PUBLIC FORUM

State damage To the editor: This governor is hurting our state.

Mr. Brownback has put likeminded, out-of-state cronies in positions here, some of which are newly created, to make consequential decisions often without due process. Closing many SRS offices in Kansas, especially the one in Lawrence, was one too many lethal drops into his kettle of toxic, service-cutting brew. This was done behind closed doors with what appears to be very little proof of money saved, people hurt, appropriate solutions and with no communication with those affected until it was done.

This is total disrespect for the democratic process and Kansas citizens and disregard for the historical traditions of previous governors (Republican and Democrat) from Alf Landon on, who committed the Kansas tax dollars needed to care for our poor, ill and needy and all the things that make Kansas a community not just a place. To put the record straight, I am willing to pay more taxes to this end.

Bootsie Lauridsen, Baldwin City

City districts?

Post office vital to Lecompton One of the things one hears politicians both in Washington and in Topeka talk about a great deal these days is the importance of small business to the United States.

I fully agree, but I also think that these same politicians have forgotten that small towns are equally as important to the future of our nation. Just as the United States owes its industrial and retail success to two centuries of small business, our country has been built upon the small towns of America.

Just look at some of our greatest presidents. Lincoln came from Springfield, Ill. Eisenhower grew up in Abilene, Kan., and Truman came from Independence, Mo. It has been the small towns across America that have formed the backbone of our rural communities serving both merchants and farmers. When a small town dies, the surrounding region also dies with it. Just as significant, small towns lie at the heart of the American experience; they continue to be at the center of our national identity.

Lecompton is a small town that has refused to die and refused to give in to economic decline.

Although overshadowed by its municipal neighbor to the south, Lecompton has continued to grow, to seek new businesses, and to provide the kind of small town atmosphere that attracts new residents. It is the home to one of the most important historical sites in Kansas — the Territorial Capitol

Mike Hoeflich It has been the small “towns across America that have formed the backbone of our rural communities serving both merchants and farmers.”

Museum — as well as Lane University, where President Eisenhower’s parents met.

New stores are opening in its small downtown. New houses continue to be built, and the town has invested millions in a new water treatment plant. Just a few miles outside the city near Interstate 70, new industrial facilities are being planned and more seem to be in the offing. But all this intense economic and cultural activity could be derailed by a proposed change in the status of the Lecompton Post Office.

The U.S. Postal Service has proposed relocating the three rural mail carriers currently based at the Lecompton Post Office to the post office in Perry. Such a reloca-

tion would lower the classification of the Lecompton Post Office and leave it highly vulnerable to closure in a few years as a costsaving measure. Of course, the folks in Washington don’t seem to care much about one small town in Kansas. Indeed, it’s not clear to me that they even realize that Perry is in an entirely different county. Nor do they seem to understand that moving the carriers — and, perhaps, the post office thereafter — would damage the potential growth of Lecompton and Douglas County.

Unfortunately, Lecompton is a small town and, while its residents care about it deeply and strive to assure its future prosperity, it doesn’t have much political clout in Washington. But Lecompton’s future is not only important to Lecompton, but also to Lawrence and to all of Douglas County. Having small cities prosper and grow in the area surrounding Lawrence will help Lawrence prosper and grow.

It is not too late to convince the Postal Service and the Washington politicians to abandon the proposed changes to the Lecompton Post Office and help Lecompton to succeed, not force its decline. America needs small towns like Lecompton and it would be a tragedy to lose them.

— Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

To the editor: In the past 10 years, most of the city commissioners that have been elected live west of Massachusetts Street or north of 23rd Street.

From the west side of the city limit to the eastern city limit is approximately 10 miles. I believe people are aware of some of the problems in other areas of the city but don’t really comprehend how those problems impact the people living in that area. The unemployment in Lawrence is 7 percent. In Lawrence, 10 percent of families live below the poverty line. Knowing this, the City Commission still wants to raise taxes.

I understand that the city has needs that require more money.

Fixing or replacing the Kansas River water intakes, some of the upgrades to the police department are the most important, along with the constant repair or replacement of city streets. We can have these improvements without raising taxes. Take the funds allocated to the library expansion and fix the necessary and most important items first. When the economy improves, go back to the expansion of the library. Things that are needed should be taken care of before what is wanted.

Money for discretionary spending has disappeared for a large section of the population.

Taxes should only be raised when there is no other solution.

Maybe it’s time to make some much needed changes in the election of city commissioners.

There are five city commissioners. Divide the city into five districts and elect a commissioner from each district.

LAWRENCE ALMANAC Through 8 p.m. Tuesday.

New wheat forecast better than expected WICHITA — Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service has released a more optimistic forecast for the size of the state’s winter wheat crop.

The agency said Tuesday that Kansas is now expected to produce 273 million bushels of winter wheat, up 4 percent from last month’s forecast.

Still, that’s about 24 percent fewer bushels than last year’s crop and would be the state’s lowest wheat production since 2002.

About 7.8 million acres of wheat are being harvested in Kansas, the smallest harvested wheat acreage since 1957.

The agency raised its estimate of wheat yields by one bushel from the June forecast to an average of 35 bushels per acre.

The forecast is based on crop conditions as of July 1.

MLB ALL-STAR GAME

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Locals weigh in on Open While in England as captain of the United States in the 2000 Palmer Cup, college golf’s version of the Ryder Cup, former Kansas University golf coach Ross Randall had a chance to play Royal St. Georges with wife Linda, evidently quite an accomplished stick herself.

“It’s hard,” said Randall, from the air-conditioned snack shop Tuesday at Alvamar. “It’s hard.

It’s as tough as any of the courses over there and the wind can really rip, so that course is all you want.”

So expect the scores to be high in this year’s British Open, which gets under way Thursday morning?

“Well, you don’t know,” Randall said. “There could be no wind and they could go really low.”

Randall has an even greater interest than usual in this year’s Open because the field includes one of his former players.

Gary Woodland tees off at 7:25 a.m. local time, which translates to 1:25 a.m. Central time. He played in the Scottish Open last week, giving his body time to adjust. He missed the cut in the rain-shortened event.

“Without question that was smart to play in that,” Randall said. “There is a six-hour difference. When you first get over there, you don’t know what’s going on. I used to get screwed up just going to Hawaii and that’s the other way. Flying from west to east is much harder. I’m sure it screwed up everything in his body.”

As for a prediction on how his former pupil will perform, Randall said, “I told him before he left I thought he would do well. It may not be the best course for him, but I think he’ll do fine.”

Woodland, from Topeka, now lives in Orlando, Fla. He ranks 13th on the 2011 PGA tour money list with $2,381,229 in earnings.

Fellow former KU golfer Chris Thompson, who has earned $55,000 on the mini-tour circuit this season, was asked for advice in trying to forecast a British Open winner.

“You definitely have to like someone from over there,” Thompson said after practicing his stroke on the Lawrence Country Club putting clock.

“Any time you can pick Lee Westwood, he’s always a good pick. But I’m going to say Ian Poulter.”

Of Woodland, Thompson said, “I think he’ll do great if he can drive it well. I’ve heard that course is a little weird, but if he can get the angles and he’s got a caddy who’s been over there before, I think he’ll do fine. I think any time you can hit it far over there and hit it low, you’ve got a chance.”

Naturally, oddsmakers have made Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, 22, the favorite at 13/2, followed by Luke Donald and Lee Westwood at 11/1.

McIlroy went 16-under for an eight-shot victory at the U.S. Open.

“That’s the finest golf I’ve ever seen,” Randall said of McIlroy’s performance. “I’ve never seen anybody better at being able to make pure, full swings under pressure. No choking. No punch shots. Beautiful, full-motion swings.”

McIlroy tied for third last year in the British Open. Seeking his first victory in a major, Westwood has finished in the top three in five of his past nine majors. In that order, they should be the first two picks in British Open drafts that take place today in offices and tonight in local taverns throughout town.

MILWAUKEE SLUGGER PRINCE FIELDER, RIGHT, IS CONGRATULATED by San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy, middle right, and Brewers teammate Ryan Braun, left, after hitting a three-run home run in the fourth inning. Fielder’s homer sparked the National League to a 5-1 victory over the American league on Tuesday in Phoenix.

Fielder’s homer lifts National League to 5-1 victory

By Ronald Blum Associated Press Sports Writer

PHOENIX — Pitching, speed and a little bit of power. The National League is back on top in the AllStar game, using the same formula that worked during its dominating run in the 1970s and ’80s.

Prince Fielder hit a three-run homer and Roy Halladay and his relief combined on a six-hitter to

lead the National League over the American League 5-1 Tuesday night, giving the senior circuit its first two-game winning streak since the mid-1990s.

The NL claimed home-field advantage in the World Series, its only blemish being a home run by Adrian Gonzalez off Cliff Lee. “It was great to have the pitching set up the way it was,” NL manager Bruce Bochy said. “It’s hard to

beat great pitching and a three-run homer.”

With several big names as noshows at Chase Field, the AL lost more than the game.

Boston right-hander Josh Beckett warmed up, then bowed out with a sore knee. Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera left after hurting a muscle in his side while swinging.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

KU reports early-season tourneys through 2014

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s men’s basketball team, which will compete in the 2011 Maui Invitational, has scheduled appearances in earlyseason tournaments through 2014.

In 2012, KU is slated to play in the 76 Classic, an eight-team event set for Thursday, Friday and Sunday of Thanksgiving week at the Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif., which is located adjacent to Disneyland.

In 2013, KU is slated to play in the eight-team Battle 4 Atlantis tournament during Thanksgiving week in a 4,000-seat arena in

the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas.

In 2014, KU will compete in the College Basketball Experience tourney in Kansas City, Mo. The Jayhawks then would be tentatively scheduled to return to the Maui Invitational in 2015.

The 2011 Maui Invitational pairings are expected to be released soon, ESPN’s Andy Katz reported Tuesday. Katz envisions KU playing Chaminade and UCLA meeting Memphis in one side of the bracket of the Nov. 2123 event; Duke playing Tennessee and Georgetown playing Michigan on the other side.

Katz indicates Duke has a policy of not playing non Div. I

teams in tournaments. Chaminade is in NCAA Div. II. Also, Memphis and Tennessee do not wish to play because the schools meet in the regular season.

“No one would deny that a possible Duke-Kansas final helps the overall health of the tournament and would rate well,” Katz wrote Tuesday. “But KU would have to possibly get by Conference USA-favorite Memphis and that’s with the assumption that Duke can beat Michigan if the two were to meet in the semifinals. The Blue Devils defeated the Wolverines by just two in last season’s NCAA tournament.”

KU senior associate athletic director Larry Keating said KU

had not discussed possible matchups with Maui Invitational officials.

“It’s up to them,” Keating said.

The Jayhawks also are eligible to take part in a foreign tour prior to the 2012-13 season. If KU decides to take part in a tour, the destination may remain Canada, where KU has traveled twice in an eight-year span. However, the dates would likely be in August, not over Labor Day weekend this time, because teams cannot miss school to play in these exhibition games. On the last two trips, KU departed on Friday, a school day, and returned late Monday.

Green’s hard work paying off on golf course

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

ALEX GREEN WATCHES A BALL SAIL OUT OF SIGHT on Tuesday in the Trusted Choice “Big I” Junior Championship qualifier at Alvamar.

Not yet a junior in high school, Alex Green hammered his drive on the 10th hole at Alvamar public 335 yards, hit a knock-down gap wedge onto the green and drained the putt for a birdie that put him two-over par with eight holes left Tuesday in the first round of a two-day Kansas qualifier for the Trusted Choice “Big I” Junior Championship.

That sort of distance off the tee is what gives Green, who plays for Free State High, a high ceiling. Doing what he did to carry a three-over par score into

the 10th hole are the keys to him reaching that ceiling.

As he stood on the sixth tee box, waiting for the group in front to finish the hole, Green clearly was enjoying himself, chatting with the golfers in his group from around the state.

Nothing about the way he conducted himself suggested he had carded a double-bogey on No. 3 and a bogey on No. 5 to fall threeover par. He didn’t let two bad holes turn into a bad round.

Green followed his bogey on No. 5 with a string of four pars and a birdie, carded a bogey on 11 and six consecutive pars heading into No. 18. Green was behind the

green in two when threatening skies caused a tournament official to tell the players to mark their balls and resume play the next morning. Once inside, the golfers were told they could finish the hole. The calm golfer who rattled off so many pars looked rattled when he returned to his shot, bladed his chip and carded a 6 to finish the day with a fiveover par 77, tied for 13th in the field of 82 golfers. The top three boys and top two girls qualify for the national tournament in Mississippi.

McIlroy star of this British Open SANDWICH, ENGLAND (AP) — Rory McIlroy slipped into his seat without great fanfare Tuesday, his presence detected by a sudden burst of camera shutters when the photographers realized the star of this British Open had arrived.

It was his first time at a news conference since that Sunday evening at Congressional, and it all

looked familiar except that the 22year-old from Northern Ireland no longer had the shiny U.S. Open trophy at his side.

In its place were expectations of many more majors to follow, perhaps starting with this one.

With a record-setting performance in the major billed as golf’s toughest test, McIlroy has

emerged as the favorite to join an elite group of players to capture the U.S. Open and British Open in the same year.

McIlroy knew it was quite an achievement, setting scoring records at the U.S. Open and winning by eight shots. Only in the three weeks he has spent at home has the magnitude started to sink in.

“I didn’t realize how much of a fuss it would create or how much of a buzz,” he said. “It’s been nice. I thought it was great for me to win the U.S. Open, win my first major. The support that I’ve had from people back home, f ro m eve r yo n e a l l ove r t h e world, has been pretty overwhelming.”

By Tim Cowlishaw The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS — It is not a slight to either the history of American soccer or the other great female champions of this country to say that this morning, the U.S. women’s team will attempt to boldly go where no women have gone before.

One can only assume that those captivated by the team’s magical rescue of victory against Brazil on Sunday will continue to cheer this team as it faces France in the World Cup semifinals in Germany.

And, based on Twitter, those cheering these women include a vast range, from Kevin Durant to Tom Hanks to Larry Fitzgerald and even to LeBron James. Yes, The Uncrowned One was just one of many to hail the achievements of a women’s team in a sport that seems to finally be gaining a real foothold in this country.

That’s why I mention the part about “where no women have gone before.” The accomplishments of Chris Evert or the Williams sisters on the tennis court or Hall of Famer (and Dallas’ own, if you will) Nancy Lieberman in basketball are not to be diminished in any way.

But those champions mostly elevated the women’s side of their sports. Tennis had a fairly strong grip in this nation with the likes of Arthur Ashe and Jimmy Connors at the top of their games and John McEnroe on the way when the Evert-Martina Navratilova rivalry allowed women’s tennis to blossom.

You can make a case that the Williams sisters revived the sport a decade ago as the U.S. was losing its edge in men’s tennis.

It’s hard to say even the finest women’s basketball players have gone beyond their gender to raise interest in the men’s game.

As much as the remarkable women’s teams of UConn’s Geno Auriemma have achieved, roundball had been alive and well for decades before the Lady Huskies started rolling.

I think it’s different with soccer and, for whatever reason, this current team. Even though there have been some great women’s soccer moments and championship teams, they either didn’t do much to change the lack of soccer interest here or they just provided baby steps that were harder to detect.

When the ’91 and ’99 U.S. teams won World Cups or when they captured Olympic gold in ’96, those victories made Mia Hamm a household name.

I’m not sure how much the interest level in soccer was advanced by those triumphs. It was probably some, to be sure, but I think it was minimal.

It just feels different now. The U.S. men got their share of notice in the World Cup last year in what was far from a winning cause.

More and more soccer is finding its way onto television. Mainstream sports fans are following the English Premier League at unprecedented levels in this country.

Maybe that has something to do with two lockouts, but really those are relatively recent and temporary developments.

Locally, where nothing short of NBA Finals or World Series are accepted (OK, possibly that’s a temporary feeling as well), soccer is heating up. FC Dallas produced a surprising league MVP last year in David Ferreira.

It just doesn’t seem like an aberration now when you find sports fans talking soccer. Certainly there was substantial buzz generated by Sunday’s penalty kick victory over Brazil.

Not only are the U.S. women favored to at least reach the World Cup final now, but soccer’s timing could not be better. On the day after baseball’s All-Star Game, there is virtually an empty sports slate in this country.

A nation’s fans must have their daily fix.

And if anything approaching what this team accomplished Sunday can be repeated against France, then it’s on to the World Cup final Sunday afternoon.

At that time, you would have to anticipate more eyes here being focused on a women’s soccer game than ever before. Given the unlikelihood of seeing an American male atop the British Open leaderboard, soccer might provide the best hope of cheering a U.S. championship this weekend.

ANDRE GREIPEL OF GERMANY, REAR, PUSHES his wheel over the finish line ahead of second-place finisher Mark Cavendish of Britain, left, to win the 10th stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday, starting in Aurillac and finishing in Carmaux, France.

Greipel lets bike do talking at Tour de France CARMAUX, FRANCE — After all the feuding and hard words, Andre Greipel finally got what he wanted and it had nothing to do with talk: a winning ride in the Tour de France.

The German sprinter beat Mark Cavendish — his former teammate and sometimes adversary — by the length of a wheel Tuesday to capture the 10th stage of a three-week race that is soon to leave the flatlands for the perilous climbs of the Pyrenees.

Thomas Voeckler of France kept the yellow jersey after nestling safely in the main pack for most of the day. Defending champion Alberto Contador did much the same, and the Spaniard had even more reason to be careful after hurting his right knee during crashes in the fifth and ninth stages.

“At the beginning of the stage, I wasn’t sure what to think,” said Contador, a three-time champion. “But as the stage progressed my knee was feeling less sore.”

Contador, the best climber in the world, trails main rivals Cadel Evans of Australia and Andy Schleck of Luxembourg by 1:41 and 1:30 entering today’s flat run.

Tuesday’s 98-mile trip from Aurillac to Carmaux ended with Cavendish applying brutal acceleration and seemingly headed toward his third stage victory in this Tour. Instead, Greipel got on his wheel and surged ahead in the last 20 yards, a winning leg in cycling’s showpiece race at last secure.

Greipel and Cavendish clashed last year while on the HTC-Highroad team. Greipel, who now rides for Omega Pharma-Lotto team, was in a conciliatory mood.

“I have a lot of respect for Cavendish — he was won 17 stages of the Tour de France. Now I have one,” Greipel said. “He was not always really friendly with his comments (about) me.

This is not my level. I just try to show on the bike what I am able to do. I always said to my teammates that we need to believe in our race and do our own things.”

BASKETBALL KSU’s Pullen signs with Italian team MANHATTAN — Former Kansas State guard Jacob Pullen has signed a contract to play for Pallacanestro Biella of the Italian League.

The school announced the move Tuesday, less than two weeks after the NBA lockout began.

Pullen is Kansas State’s all-time leading scorer with 2,132 points, fourth-best in Big 12 history. He averaged 20.2 points last season in leading the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in his four years at the school.

The Italian League team, also known as Angelico Biella, posted an 11-19 record in Series A. The current roster includes Aubrey Coleman (Houston), Edgar Sosa (Louisville), Marc Salyers (Samford) and A.J. Slaughter (Western Kentucky).

Timberwolves fire Rambis MINNEAPOLIS — The longer the Kurt Rambis saga dragged on, the bigger the mess got for president of basketball operations David Kahn and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The organization endured a torrent of criticism nationally for allowing Rambis to twist in the wind, tarnishing the team’s image across the league while many accomplished candidates took other jobs as Kahn mulled the decision.

The long expected firing finally was officially announced Tuesday, ending more than three months of uncertainty and awkwardness surrounding the head coach of the worst team in the NBA last season.

Source: McHale adds to staff HOUSTON — Kevin McHale has added a couple of familiar names to the Houston Rockets coaching staff.

Kelvin Sampson and J.B. Bickerstaff will join McHale once teams get back to work, a person with knowledge of the decisions said Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made by the team in the midst of the NBA lockout.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Sooners LB death ruled an accident OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma linebacker Austin Box had five prescription painkillers and an anti-anxiety drug in his system when he died, according to a preliminary toxicology report released Tuesday by the state medical examiner’s office.

The death of the 22-year-old Box two months ago was ruled accidental. In the report, the agency said the combination of drugs likely caused pulmonary edema, or fluid in the lungs, and aspiration pneumonia, which is an inflammation of the lungs caused by inhaling foreign substances.

BASEBALL Fan’s widow thanks Rangers BROWNWOOD, TEXAS — The widow of the firefighter who fell to his death at a Texas Rangers game says the team, baseball and Josh Hamilton remain precious to her and her 6-year-old son.

In a statement released Tuesday,, Jenny Stone also thanked everyone who has reached out to help her family since her husband, 39year-old Shannon Stone, died Thursday night.

Among those mentioned were team president Nolan Ryan and a man who helped care for young Cooper the night his father died, and then visited the grieving family on Sunday.

“We are also thankful for Nolan Ryan, Josh Hamilton, the Texas Rangers, the Rangers fans, and all baseball fans, which have showed such concern and compassion,” Jenny Stone wrote in her first public comments. “While I was certainly surprised to hear Nolan Ryan on my phone on Friday morning, I was not surprised that he would act just like we all see him, as a true Texas gentleman. Josh Hamilton remains Cooper’s favorite baseball player, the Texas Rangers will always be our team, and baseball will always be our favorite game. ... Shannon loved going to watch the Rangers and he loved Cooper. And, at the very end, he lived life to its fullest, doing something he loved.”

Clemens trial jury mostly female WASHINGTON — An overwhelmingly female jury with little interest in baseball will decide whether former pitching star Roger Clemens lied to Congress when he said he never used performance-enhancing drugs.

The jurors who took their seats Tuesday include a woman whose cousin, former outfielder Al Bumbry, was a coach for the Boston Red Sox when Clemens played for the team.

Boogaard to play in France

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Premium placed on recruiting close to home

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

On Tuesday, Rivals.com released its state-by-state rankings of high school football prospects in the Class of 2012.

A quick look at the top players in Kansas reveals that the KU coaching staff remains committed to recruiting its own backyard.

Though just one member — Blue Valley West offensive lineman Brian Beckmann — of the Sunflower State’s current top 10 has committed to KU, the Jayhawks showed serious interest in eight of the 10 and extended offers to two of them, Beckmann and Wichita defensive end Trace Clark.

While Clark and three others on the list remain undecided, Kansas State received commitments from two of Kansas’ top 10, and Illinois, TCU and Tulsa snagged one apiece.

Because it’s still somewhat early, and because this year’s crop of homegrown players is widely regarded as less talented than those from previous years, the lack of offers from KU should not come as a great surprise. For one, the staff spent most of May and June evaluating players in an effort to identify which ones it would like to offer. In addition, recruiting coordinator Reggie Mitchell said KU coach Turner Gill almost always follows a specific plan.

“Coach Gill’s philosophy is he wants to get ’em on campus before we do anything with ’em,” Mitchell said. “I would think you’ll (start to) see more guys committing because we’ll have the chance to get them on campus.”

All three of KU’s 2012 commitments thus far — Beckmann, Derek Keaton, of Camden, Ark., and Daniel Gray, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — visited Lawrence before receiving an offer.

communicating what he learned from the final hole.

“Just stay calm, keep your composure, focus on that single shot, don’t worry about what your overall score is going to be and keep your head in the game,” he said.

Green did a terrific job of doing that for most of the fiveand-a-half hour round, one of the many highlights during this summer of improvement.

“I’ve improved from a high70s and low 80s to a mid-tohigh 70s golfer,” Green said of his summer progress. “Just from practicing, coming here every day, chipping and putting.”

FSHS teammate Lee York, a senior, also has made strides this summer. He played well enough in Kansas Junior Golf Association events to represent the northeast section in

The race for Russell While the KU football coaches have done their part to keep an eye on the top talent in Kansas, they continue to pound the pavement in other states as well.

One of the most popular spots for KU recruits is Texas, and that’s where the Jayhawks’ latest quarterback prospect resides. KU is one of three schools to officially have offered a scholarship to Garland (Texas) High’s Seth Russell, a three-star, dualthreat QB who is ranked by Rivals as the 26th-best quarterback in his class.

Russell, who also has offers from Wake Forest and North Texas, attended one of KU’s summer camps in early June and has been on a fast-andfurious tour of other camps since then. KU offered Russell a scholarship on June 7 but it doesn’t appear the 6-foot-4, 195-pound QB is in a hurry to make a decision. After attending the KU camp, Russell went to Oklahoma and North Texas. He is scheduled to attend Arkansas’ camp on Saturday and follow that up with a trip to Texas A&M on Sunday.

Though the Jayhawks were the first Big 12 program to offer Russell, others appear to be charging.

“Coach Brent Venables at OU emailed me and said they are interested but wanted to see my first couple games,” Russell told Rivals.com. “I will wait and see how I do at the other camps.”

While he waits, Russell told Rivals that he continues to keep KU in his thoughts.

“I’m in touch with coach (David) Beaty all of the time,” Russell said. “I call him twice a week. I usually email coach Chuck Long and stay in contact with him. They have great coaches and I was excited to get an offer from them.”

The first-day leaders in both the boys and girls competitions already have committed to play golf at Kansas University.

David Auer of Wichita, who will golf for KU this coming season, leads the boys division after shooting a 69, making him one of three players under par. Parker Miller of Kansas City, Kan., shot a 70 and Alex Forristal of Prairie Village shot a 71.

Defending Kansas “Big I” tourney champ Mackenzie Thayer of Garden City, who plans to enroll at KU for the 2012-2013 school year, shot a 75 to take a seven-stroke lead over Audrey Judd of Olathe.

Not all the boys finished before the rains came. They will tee off at 7 a.m. Max Soto of Free State stood at 19-over through 15 holes.

“A lot of teams are going to Europe in May or Europe or Canada in August before school starts,” Keating said.

“Freshmen now can take part if they are enrolled in summer school. Generally a European trip is 10, 11 days. Canada became a popular place to go because you can play four games in three days (with doubleheader one day) in a relatively short trip.”

Teams can practice 10 days on campus before leaving on the trip. Coaches generally regard the practices as more important than the exhibition games.

Leach tells his side of TTU firing ————

Former Red Raiders football coach provides details in book LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) — Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach on Tuesday offered up fresh details on what he says was happening behind the scenes around the time he was fired.

In excerpts from his book, “Swing Your Sword,” Leach said emails “suggest” there was never a university investigation into allegations he mistreated a player, Adam James, with a concussion but rather “an effort to sell me down the river.” He also claims a public relations firm, Spaeth Communications, was used by the university to “smear” Leach’s name.

“They knew the facts weren’t on their side so they used Spaeth to spread misinformation and try to turn public opinion,” an excerpt says.

The university fired Leach

in December 2009 amid claims that he mistreated receiver Adam James, son of Craig James, an ESPN analyst.

Leach has long denied that, and said he believes an $800,000 bonus he was due was the reason he was fired.

Leach sued the school for Leach wrongful termination but a Texas appeals court allowed his trial to go forward for only nonmonetary damages.

Leach, who has lived in Key West, Fla., since shortly after his firing and was passed up for the Maryland job early this year, is awaiting word on whether the Texas Supreme

— Mike Leach, on Texas Tech Court will review the appellate court’s ruling. If the high court reverses the appeals court and rules that Texas Tech waived sovereign immunity protection by its conduct, Leach’s suit could go forward for monetary damages.

Texas Tech’s response to Leach’s petition for a high court review is due today.

Leach has filed a separate libel suit accusing ESPN and Spaeth of slander.

Four KU golfers earn academic honors J-W Staff Reports

Four Kansas University women’s golfers on Tuesday were named to the National Golf Coaches Association AllAmerica Scholar list for the 2011 season.

Seniors Meghna Bal and Jennifer Clark earned the AllAmerica honors for the sec-

ond time, while senior Grace Thiry and junior Katy Nugent were first-time selections.

To earn recognition, the student-athlete must have a minimum cumulative gradepoint average of 3.50.

Bal and Clark were both named to the team in 2009.

Bal and Thiry majored in sport science; Clark is a graph-

ic design major and Nugent is an accounting major.

KU coach Erin O’Neil lauded her players’ efforts Tuesday. “They work hard in the classroom and on the golf course and it is great to see all of their dedication recognized with these Academic All-America honors,” she said.

Bulow’s penalty kick came after defender Aurelien Collin brought down Jamal Wallace in the area in the 82nd minute.

Former Kansas University women’s basketball center Krysten Boogaard recently signed a professional contract to play basketball in Nice, France.

The 6-foot-5 post player will depart the country in early August to suit up for Cavigal Nice for the 2011-12 season.

Boogaard, a Regina, Saskatchewan, native who played at KU from 2008-11, finished her four-year career with 1,051 total points. She was the 22nd player in program history to reach the 1,000point plateau.

Boogaard also played in 132 games, which is the second most among any other Jayhawk. For her career, Boogaard averaged 8.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game and hit 54 percent of her shots.

“It’s important to me to continue the goals I set for myself when I was younger,” Boogaard said in a press release. “This is something I have always wanted to achieve because of the opportunities on the court and the cultural experiences off of it.”

Added KU coach Bonnie Henrickson, from the release: “I am really excited for Krysten and her opportunity to play at the next level. In one of the first conversations I ever had with Krysten, she said she wanted to play professionally overseas one day. I am so proud of her that she is getting the opportunity she has always wanted.”

Cavigal Nice is one of 14 teams in the Ligue Feminine De Basketball (LFB), which began play during the 199899 season. Boogaard will suit up for her first game with her new club as it open its season on Sept. 24 versus Bourges.

Colombia’s Vidal signs with Kansas J-W Staff Reports

Colombian national soccer player Ingrid Vidal on Tuesday signed a national letter of intent to play at Kansas University beginning in the 201112 season.

Vidal recently participated for Colombia in the Women’s World Cup. She will be the second Colombian player to suit up for KU, joining national teammate and KU freshman Liana Salazar.

“Ingrid is very crafty with the ball and catches the defense off-guard,” KU soccer coach Mark Francis said in a press release. “She is a goal scorer. She combines well with other players and plays great defense off the ball.”

Vidal, a 5-foot-2 forward, appeared in two of Colombia’s three matches during this year’s World Cup. Leading up to the tournament, Vidal scored the game-winning goal in Colombia’s 1-0 defeat over Argentina to advance her team into the World Cup finals.

Vidal was offered a professional contract to play in Germany, but turned it down to come to Kansas.

“The fact that Ingrid turned down a professional contract says a lot about her priorities,” Francis said. “It shows her testament as a student-athlete and that she wants to get a college education.”

Kansas will open its season when it plays host to Butler at 1 p.m. on Aug. 14 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

AL stifled again in second straight loss

Ross D. Franklin/AP Photo

NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAYERS CELEBRATE after defeating the American League, 5-1, in the MLB All-Star game Tuesday in Phoenix.

PHOENIX (AP) — For the second straight year, the American League mustered just one run in the All-Star game.

Quite a power shortage for some normally electric bats.

The 5-1 loss to the National League on Tuesday night leaves the AL outscored, 8-2, in the last two All-Star games and gives the NL champion the home field in the World Series for the second year in a row.

Injuries, minor ones by all accounts, to Boston pitcher Josh Beckett and Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera didn’t help the AL cause, either.

Beckett warmed up and was going to follow starter Jered Weaver but shut down because he didn’t quite feel right.

Cabrera left with slight oblique soreness and said as

he made a quick exit from the ballpark that he didn’t think it would keep him out when regular season play resumes.

The AL had 12 wins with one tie in the 13 seasons leading up to last year’s 3-1 loss in Anaheim. Weaver joked that maybe he’s to blame, since he switched leagues when the AL troubles began.

“Maybe I’m the bad link here,” he said, “but we had a great lineup. Those guys on the National League have some great arms and they kept us off balance. What are you going to do? You win some, you lose some. Obviously we would have liked to win this one.”

Beckett’s absence added to a depleted AL pitching staff that already was missing Detroit’s Justin Verlander, Yankees lefthander CC Sabathia, Tampa

Bay’s James Shields and Seattle’s Felix Hernandez because they started for their teams on Sunday.

“We had to make an adjustment, and that’s exactly what the game is about,” AL manager Ron Washington of the Texas Rangers said. “But we were able to get some pitching out there, so we are not going to use not having Josh as an excuse.”

Beckett pitched f ive innings in his last start against Baltimore on Friday after he slightly hyperextended his knee on the wet mound at Fenway Park.

“I could have pitched. I’m just not comfortable going out there and getting hurt in an All-Star game and costing myself starts in the second half,” Beckett said. “I think that’s how everybody should

be. This game does mean a lot with home-field advantage and everything but at the same time there are some things that are ahead that are a little more important.”

Pitchers don’t score runs, anyway. They don’t even bat in this game. And offense was a big problem.

The only run for the American League got came on a fourth-inning homer by Boston’s Adrian Gonzalez, only recently a transplant from the NL’s San Diego Padres.

Overall, the AL managed six hits, five of them singles. Six AL runners were left on base.

The Rangers’ Josh Hamilton said the problem is pretty basic.

“The biggest thing is you get guys on base,” he said, “then you get a hit with guys on base.”

MVP Fielder quiets boos

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE’S HEATH BELL OF THE SAN DIEGO PADRES SLIDES into the infield before pitching during the eighth inning of the MLB All-Star game Tuesday in Phoenix.

All-Star CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“We are not going to use not having Josh as an excuse,” AL manager Ron Washington said. “I think when you look at the ballgame, the bottom line is the National League pitching was outstanding. You know, we ended up giving up one big inning and they didn’t give up any.”

Even before they were hurt, many stars were missing.

Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez and many other aces started Sunday and were ineligible, Chipper Jones and Alex Rodriguez were among those on the disabled list and Derek Jeter wanted a break. In all, 16 of 84 All-Stars were dropped.

Tyler Clippard got the win despite allowing a single to his only batter, Adrian Beltre.

Clayton Kershaw, Jair Jurrjens, Craig Kimbrel, Jonny Venters, Heath Bell, Joel Hanrahan and Brian Wilson combined to keep the NL ahead.

Fielder won the MVP award after becoming the first Brewers player to homer in an All-Star game. The World Series edge could help him later, with Milwaukee and St. Louis tied for the Central lead at the break.

“That was part of the message, how important it was for us, and how important the game was: Do it again for the National League champion,” Bochy said.

Fielder, son of former AllStar Cecil Fielder, was booed during the Home Run Derby a day earlier by fans angry he didn’t select Arizona’s Justin Upton.

“I didn’t take it personal at all,” Fielder said. “I understood it. no hard feelings.”

The NL dashed around the bases and stole three bags, all in one inning. Bell showed some speed, too — the reliever provided the image of the night, sprinting in from the bullpen in the eighth inning and tearing up the turf with a slide just short of the mound.

“I think he nailed it,” Brian

Wilson said. “I don’t know if I’d make it. I think I’d slip, ankle, flip, next thing you know I can’t pitch.”

In all, the Nationals have enjoyed their best run since taking three in a row from 1994-96 — they had lost 12 straight games played to a decision before a 3-1 victory at Anaheim last year.

Andre Ethier and Pablo Sandoval also drove in runs for the NL. Before a crowd of 47,994 that included Muhammad Ali, this was no desert classic — except for fans of pitching, which has become resurgent as the Steroids Era has receded. Scoring in the first half of this season dropped to its lowest level in 19 years and the major league batting average shrunk to its smallest midseason figure since 1985.

The home runs were the first in the All-Star game

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE’S PRINCE FIELDER OF THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS HITS a three-run home run during the fourth inning of the MLB All-Star game Tuesday in Phoenix. since J.D. Drew connected at Yankee Stadium three years ago. The AL finished with six hits for the second straight year.

Given the temperature outside, the theme song for this game could have been the Buster Poindexter song “Hot Hot Hot.” And except for Lee, that’s what the NL pitching was.

Bochy of the Giants became a winner in his second AllStar try, following a defeat in 1999, and his closer Wilson, the 10th NL pitcher, got two outs for the save.

Texas’ C.J. Wilson, the fourth AL pitcher, took the loss for the team run by his manager, Washington.

Despite the weather outside — 99 degrees at gametime — two separate groups opposed to Arizona’s controversial immigration law protested outside of Chase Field before the game. One quietly passed out white ribbons that symbolized peace and unity and the other loudly chanting in bullhorns and marching in circles with signs that read “Boycott hate” and “Stand with us.”

However, there was little

sign of the ribbons in the stands.

While it was hot outside in the Sonoran Desert, it was a comfy 72 thanks to an 8,000ton cooling system in the ballpark, where the roof has remained closed for games since June 17. It was the first game here in the national spotlight since the famous Game 7 comeback by the Diamondbacks over the Yankees in the 2001 World Series, a factoid referenced at the start of the pregame introductions.

In a modern stadium with an old-fashioned keyhole dirt path between the mound and the plate, there were flickers of sunlight shining through glass panels in the roof when Halladay started Curtis Granderson off with a 91 mph pitch.

Once again, pitchers dominated early.

“I figured a lot of those guys were going to be swinging early,” Halladay said.

Showing the strength that has given Philadelphia the best record in the majors, Halladay retired six straight batters — the first to do that in an All-Star game since Roger Clemens in 2001.

PHOENIX (AP) — Prince Fielder understood the boos, that his decision not to take hometown star Justin Upton with him to the Home Run Derby had cast him into a role of black-hatted villain in the desert.

His two kids didn’t quite like it, which made quieting those catcalls, even for a second, feel oh so sweet.

Shaking off two days of jeers, Fielder hit a crowd-shushing three-run homer that had his kids smiling and earned him All-Star game MVP honors in the National League’s 5-1 victory over the American League on Tuesday night.

“Of course your family is going to be a little ... they didn’t like it too much,” Fielder said with sons Jadyn and Haven by his side. “But we didn’t dwell on it. I didn’t take it too personal because, I mean, I probably would have booed myself, too, if I was an Arizona fan.”

The NL captain for the Home Run Derby on Monday night, Fielder irked the locals when he bypassed Upton, the Diamondbacks’ ultra-talented right fielder.

Fielder couldn’t keep them quiet during the derby, missing the finals while being booed every at-bat. But he came through in the All-Star game, hitting a long drive off Texas left-hander C.J. Wilson in the fourth inning that sent a collective ‘ohh!’ through the crowd.

“It’s hard to beat great pitching and a three-run homer,” NL manager Bruce Bochy said. “Great at-bat, two strikes, and we are down one run, and you get the Most Valuable Player, which he should. So it’s nice to hear the cheers for him because I know yesterday, they wanted Upton in there.”

A three-time All-Star, Fielder was on the spot after Major League Baseball shook up the format for the Home Run Derby this year.

Instead of bringing in eight players to whack it out, two captains were selected to pick four-person teams from each league. Fielder got the NL honors and Boston’s David Ortiz, the defending derby

champion, got to pick the AL stars.

Upton figured to be a favorite to make the NL team, in part because he was from the host club, but also because he had put up good power numbers this season and, obviously, knows where to hit the ball at spacious Chase Field.

Instead, Fielder selected teammate Rickie Weeks, Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp and Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday, drawing the ire of Diamondbacks fans.

They let him have it, too, raining boos down on him during introductions at the Home Run Derby and with each at-bat Monday night.

Arizona’s fans also took it out on Weeks and Kemp, screaming out boos and chants of “Justin Upton!” during their at-bats.

Fielder managed to get through a swing-off to reach the derby semifinals, going a perfect 5-for-5, but came up short after that, relegated to watching while Adrian Gonzalez and eventual champion Robinson Cano continued on.

The fans weren’t done letting him have it, though, coming up with more rounds of boos during the All-Star game introductions and each of his first two at-bats.

Second to St. Louis’ Lance Berkman in the NL with 22 homers, Fielder put a lump in their throats in the second atbat, sending a towering drive to left-center that caromed off the top of the wall and put the NL up, 3-1. He was done after that, but didn’t really need to do anymore.

“I don’t know if I transformed them, but I understood,” said Fielder, the first Brewers player to win the AllStar MVP award. “That just shows you how much Justin means to them. Yeah, I didn’t take it personal at all. I think these guys (his sons) took it more personal than me.”

Despite hearing the boos, Fielder was glad to have his family there with him.

His father, Cecil, was a three-time All-Star, making them just the fourth fatherson combination to make the All-Star game.

Mets trade closer Rodriguez to Brewers NEW YORK (AP) — Former All-Star closer Francisco Rodriguez was traded from the New York Mets to Milwaukee on Tuesday night, boosting the Brewers’ bullpen for a second-half run at the playoffs.

The Mets sent Rodriguez and cash to Milwaukee for two players to be named. The trade was announced right after the All-Star game ended.

Milwaukee is tied with St. Louis for the NL Central lead, and John Axford has done well as its closer.

The 29-year-old Rodriguez is 2-2 with a 3.16 earned-run average and 23 saves this season. He is a four-time AllStar and set the single-sea-

son saves record with 62 in 2008 with the Angels.

Rodriguez has a contract clause that guarantees him $17.5 million in 2012 if he finishes 55 games this year. KRod is currently on a pace to finish more than 60, though he may not get ample chances to do that with the Brewers.

“Francisco has been one of the best relievers in the game for many years,” Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said in a statement.

“He is a high-quality arm who will be a tremendous asset to our bullpen as we prepare for the final months of the regular season and playoffs.”

Just-picked cucumbers essential for crisp, home-canned pickles Q: A:

How do I get crisp home-canned pickles?

Crispness is a hallmark of a good pickle. That crispness comes from the vegetable’s natural pectin — the same pectin that we extract from apples and citrus to make jams and jellies. Here are the recommendations that have been shared by Brian Nummer, Utah State University Extension food safety specialist: ● Use only just-picked cucumbers for pickling. The most important factor in getting crisp pickles is to start with fresh, just-picked cucumbers. Cucumbers become soft as their pectin structure changes due to microbial activity, excess heat or improper handling.

As each day passes, cucumbers lose crispness. Once a vegetable is soft, it cannot be made firm again. ● Use only top-quality vegetables for pickling. For cucumber pickles, use cucumbers intended for pickling that are no more then 2 inches in diameter.

Remove the blossom end.

The blossom harbors microbes that can cause softening. Start with crisp, raw cucumber varieties to get crisp pickles. ● Use only safe, researchbased recipes. It is important to have the proper acidity level to produce safe pickles. Only research–based recipes such as those found on the following websites should be used: ● National Center for Home Food Preservation at www.uga.edu/nchfp/ ● K-State Research and Extension at www.rrc.ksu. edu/p.aspx?tabid=18 Use of alum to firm pickles: If good-quality ingredients are used and up-to-date methods are followed, firm-

ing agents are not needed for crisp pickles. If you choose to use firming agents, alum (aluminum potassium sulfate) may be used to firm fermented pickles, but it has little crispness effect on quickprocess pickles. Alum will increase firmness when used at levels up to 1/4 teaspoon per pint. Addition of greater then 1/4 teaspoon alum per pint will decrease firmness.

Use of calcium to firm pickles: ● Lime (calcium hydroxide) can improve pickle firmness. Food-grade lime may be used as a lime-water solution for soaking fresh cucumbers 12 to 24 hours before pickling them. Excess lime absorbed by the cucumbers must be removed to make safe pickles. To remove excess lime, drain the lime-water solution, rinse and then re-soak the cucumbers in fresh water for 1 hour. Drain and rinse again. ● Ball Calcium Chloride Pickle Crisp. This product is a food-grade calcium chloride salt. It provides the calcium to help firm pectin but does not have the hydroxide component that can lower the acidity of pickled foods.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions. ● Use of ice to firm pickles — Soak cucumbers or other vegetables in ice water for 4 to 5 hours before pickling. ● Use of grape leaves to firm pickles — Historically, grape leaves are sometimes added to pickle products.

The tannins in grape leaves were found to inhibit the pectinase enzyme (a chemical that would break down and soften the pectin structure). However, this enzyme is located at the blossom end of the cucumber, and if that is removed this process is redundant.

Cooking Q&A

Susan Krumm skrumm@oznet.ksu.edu

Q: How do you make refrigerator pickles?

A: Instead of heat-treating pickled foods, some recipes call for keeping them at refrigeration temperatures.

For many years this method was thought to be safe.

However, recent evidence that Listeria monocytogenes can survive in these foods has led to a recommendation against this method until further studies are performed on its safety. Until those studies are completed, it is recommended to use the low temperature pasteurization method even if the foods are placed in the refrigerator.

Q: Do you have any pickling recipes for special diets?

A: Here’s a couple of recommendations.

REDUCED-SODIUM SLICED DILL PICKLES 4 pounds (3- to 5-inch) pickling cucumbers 6 cups vinegar (5 percent) 6 cups sugar 2 tablespoons canning or pickling salt 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seed 2 large onions, thinly sliced 8 heads fresh dill

Yield: About 8 pints Wash cucumbers. Cut 1/16inch slice off blossom end and discard. Cut cucumbers in 1/4inch slices. Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, celery and mustard seeds in large saucepan. Bring

Leaner meats, roasted zucchini make for a healthier jambalaya The Associated Press

Jambalaya is a rich tomatobased dish from Louisiana that is jammed with meat and bold flavorings. And it is not generally considered a healthy dish.

To health it up a bit, we switched out some of the heavier meats for leaner options. We also used a small amount of flavorful andouille sausage; a little bit adds lots of flavor without adding tons of calories and fat. Using brown rice, of course, is another way to add a nutritious touch.

And to make the most of summer’s bounty — as well as to add a green vegetable — we used the jambalaya as a stuffing for roasted zucchini.

The mixture would be equally delicious stuffed into a hollowed out tomato or bell pepper. Serve the dish with a green salad and a piece of crusty French bread to round out the meal.

JAMBALAYASTUFFED ZUCCHINI 2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small red onion, diced 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper 1/2 cup diced celery 1/4 cup tomato paste 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning 1 teaspoon hot sauce 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup chopped andouille sausage 1/2 cup chopped cooked shrimp 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken breast 1 cup cooked brown rice Juice of 1/2 lemon

Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Using a melon baller or a small spoon, scoop or scrape out and discard the seeds from the zucchini halves, creating long narrow canoes. Sprinkle with the salt, garlic powder and pepper, then place hollow sides up on a baking sheet.

Add the green pepper and celery and saute for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the tomato paste, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce, then continue to cook until the mixture becomes aromatic and begins to darken in color, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in the sausage, shrimp, chicken and rice. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper and the lemon juice. Scoop the mixture into the zucchini boats.

Yield: About 4 or 5 pint jars

Wash and rinse pint canning jars; keep hot until ready to use. Prepare lids according to manufacturer’s directions.

Wash cucumbers. Slice 1/16inch off the blossom ends and discard. Slice cucumbers into 1/4-inch thick slices. Pour boiling water over the cucumber slices and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Drain off the hot water and pour cold water over the cucumbers. Let cold water run continuously over the cucumber slices, or change water frequently until cucumbers are cooled. Drain slices well.

Mix vinegar, 1 cup water, Splenda and all spices in a 10quart Dutch oven or stockpot.

Bring to a boil. Add drained cucumber slices carefully to the boiling liquid. Return to a boil.

Place one cinnamon stick in each jar, if desired. With a slotted spoon, fill hot pickle slices into clean, hot pint jars, leaving 1⁄2-inch headspace. Cover with boiling hot pickling brine, leaving 1⁄2-inch headspace.

Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel; apply twopiece metal canning lids.

Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes (01,000 ft altitude) or 15 minutes (1,001-6,000 foot altitude) Let cool, undisturbed, 12 to 24 hours and check for seals.

can look at that and see the actual ovary of that flower and you can see that it’s turned black,” Gieringer says.

Smith says she’d expect that because of the blossoming pattern with pears and apples, if the apples aren’t setting, the pears probably aren’t, either. She’s also heard of damage to raspberries and blueberries this year. During strawberry season, she heard of an opposite problem to the loads of winter-kill casualties — fruit that had been scorched by early heat.

“It stayed cool and wet for the strawberries, and then we had a really hot day, right when the fruits were ripening,” she says. “So, the plants were in shock from the heat and losing so much water that some of the berries shriveled on the plant and others didn’t ripen or didn’t taste good when they did.”

The only fruit she hasn’t heard horror stories about this year? Blackberries. Her guess is it’s because those fruits tend to bloom later.

“It seems funny to me because we have weather fluctuations every year, but it’s just all a matter of timing of when the plants are flowering or what specific things they’re doing,” she says of this year’s major fail in local fruit.

For now, local fruit farmers — and fruit lovers — will just have to enjoy what they can and then wait for next year. In the world of fruit, an offseason tends to signal a big crop the next time around.

Fresh, pancetta-fueled take on pasta carbonara

Let kids build their own lunch The Associated Press

By J.M. Hirsch Associated Press Writer

Summer is made for recipes as short, simple, speedy and satisfying as this.

Clocking in with just seven ingredients, this delicious take on pasta carbonara will have you in and out of the kitchen in under 20 minutes.

It varies from traditional carbonara by not incorporating the egg into the cheese “sauce” with which the pasta is tossed.

Instead, the egg is fried separately then served over pasta that has been tossed with crisped pancetta. When broken over the pasta, the runny yolks create an amazing sauce for the pasta, blending perfectly with the flavors of the Parmesan and pancetta.

Popularity takes a toll on pinot grigio Sonoma’s cool Russian River Valley. In Italy, growers often plant in cool, high-altitude vineyards in the foothills of the Alps. Bella Sera gets grapes from the cool, northern Veneto area. Banfi grows them in high elevations in the chalky soil of Tuscany.

Increasingly, winemakers recognize pinot grigio’s mild flavors and enrich them with flashier grapes. In California, Robert Mondavi adds chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and gewurztraminer. Carmel Road Winery adds a cornucopia of chardonnay, riesling, gewurztraminer, marsanne, roussanne, chenin blanc and viognier.

When made well this way, pinot grigio is wonderful with light summer fare — crab cakes, cold cuts, sushi, grilled chicken, light pastas, even goat cheese salads.

So don’t give up on pinot grigio.

ROLL ON.” Little did they know that, really, they were getting their egg roll on and I was planning to snap a few photos, drink a few martinis and chase the baby out of the kitchen a thousand times.

Not necessarily in that order.

So egg roll they did. And, behold, there was room.

There was room for cooking and chopping and rolling and frying and a toddler ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I wept as I watched.

Lindsey used to date a man from China, and that guy’s dad happened to own a restaurant, and Lindsey happened to work there, and that girl can make an egg roll. She can roll like 200 in nine minutes flat.

So Lindsey made mostly traditional-style egg rolls, and Adam? He made guacamole egg rolls. That’s right, you heard me. He filled won ton wrappers with guacamole, and then fried it. For crying out loud.

He also made a fancy “hand roll” style, for those of you who do not so much appreciate fried things.

Whomever you may be.

Bless your hearts.

To start the hand roll, Adam made cute little boats with which to prop them up.

He shaved long ribbons of cucumber with a vegetable peeler, shaped them into rounds, and filled them with chopped red cabbage and julienned carrots.

Then he mixed up your basic delicious guacamole, which I would eat every day if they would let me. Wait, who are they? I’m eating it every day now. Resolved.

ADAM’S GUACAMOLE 10 avocados 1 small red onion 3 tablespoons minced carrot 6 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup red wine vinegar A large handful of cilantro, stemmed and finely chopped Juice of 2 limes Generous squirt of sriracha 2 tablespoons kosher salt Cracked black pepper

1 teaspoons hoisin sauce Egg roll wrappers Egg wash

Brown pork. Add in cabbage, carrots, salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are translucent and then drain in collander.

Trust me. You need to drain it.

Then put back into pot and add bean sprouts, sriracha, hoisin and peanut butter. Stir to combine. ●

People, I cannot impress upon you how good this is. It may have ruined me on frozen egg rolls (once one of my all-time favorite treats) forever. I can’t decide if this is a good or a bad thing.

To properly roll an egg roll, one has to be mindful of air. Air, in egg rolls, is the enemy. Because when you’re frying, you want that business to be snug so it doesn’t fall apart in its hot oil bath.

To begin, get yourself a pile of wonton wrappers.

Place them “diamond shaped” in front of you, with a point toward you.

Place about two tablespoons of filling (whether it be pork and cabbage or guacamole) about 2/3 of the way down and then pull the point up and away from you, over the filling. Pull the filling toward you and tight as you roll away, halfway up the wrapper. Then press the sides down to seal everything in.

Next, pull the sides up and seal them with an egg wash.

Then roll it over one more time to finish.

And, you are ready to fry.

We used canola oil, but peanut oil is advised. That said, I’m totally fine with canola.

Put enough oil in a highsided frying or saute pan half-full with oil and bring it to 350 degrees.

Then plop in your egg rolls, careful not to crowd.

Lindsey also made her extra-special sweet and sour sauce, and I kid you not, I’ve never had better.

LINDSEY’S SWEET AND SOUR DELIGHT

To make the handrolls, he took the egg roll wrapper, folded it in half and folded it in half again. And then he opened it up like a pointy hat and placed it over a ball of aluminum foil.

Bake at 300 degrees for 12 minutes, and voila, a beautiful guacamole receptacle.

And then fill and garnish.

And then eat. And eat. And I won’t judge you if you cry.

But, if you are like me, you can’t say no to good, old-fashioned deep frying. We rolled some up the old-fashioned way, along with Lindsey’s “traditional” egg rolls.

LINDSEY’S EGG ROLLS 1 pound ground pork 1/2 head of green cabbage, shredded 4 carrots, shredded 1 can bean sprouts, drained 4-5 tablespoons black pepper Salt, to taste 2-3 tablespoons sriracha, depending on spice you like 4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter

3/4 cup pineapple juice 1/4 cup vinegar (we used apple cider) 4 tablespoon ketchup 2 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon sriracha 4 or 5 tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons corn starch

Combine all ingredients and cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Eat. Nom. ●

Here’s looking at you, Friday night.

And you, too.

Maybe it means I’m old, but I’d rather stand around my kitchen with two friends and make a mess (and eat) on a Friday night these days than do just about anything else. And I’m sure the young people of Lawrence right now are thanking the Baby Jesus that a few more old people have gotten the heck out of the line at the bar. Win-win.

DAVID VERTACNIK looks over his apple and peach trees just east of Lawrence in the fertile Kaw Valley. Vertacnik says a deep freeze in February has left him with a 40 percent apple crop and virtually no peaches. See video at Lawrence.com.

FRUIT FAILURE ————

Mother Nature deals area farmers a blow — few apples and even fewer peaches

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

This time of year, Frank Gieringer’s peach trees are usually dripping with fruit.

This year, there’s hardly a drop in the bucket.

“We’re short of fruit. On the tree fruit, I would say we have maybe a 10 percent crop. Like 90 percent loss,” says Gieringer, owner of Gieringer’s Orchard in Edgerton. “And we have mostly peaches. I’m not sure about apples or other tree fruit, but the peach end of it was hurt pretty hard by the cold winter.”

Just east of Lawrence, David Vertacnik of Vertacnik Orchard believes his apple crop will be down 60 percent compared to last year. His younger peach trees look just about like Gieringer’s — barren.

“The trees are beautiful,” he says, “but they just don’t have any fruit in them.”

This isn’t anything Jennifer Smith hasn’t heard. The past month, the Douglas County Kansas State extension agent’s phone and email have been overwhelmed with stories of missing fruit.

“I didn’t hear anything until maybe three weeks ago,” she says. “And then I started hearing a lot of reports of fruit not setting on. It’s primarily apples, from what I’ve heard and some people said their fruit didn’t set any fruit at all and some have said the amount they’ve set is very minimal.”

Yes, ask around the local fruit growers both commercial

DAVID VERTACNIK’S apple crop will be about 60 percent less than last year’s because of a couple of late February days that freeze-dried the buds. Fruit growers around the area are suffering losses this year on apples, peaches and pears.

“

The rule of thumb on stone fruit is that you’ll lose about 10 percent of your blossom buds for every degree below zero.

And so, when you get below minus 10 that’s getting up there to virtually a total loss.”

ary temperatures several digits below zero. It mostly affected tree fruit like apples, peaches, pears and cherries, though some bush fruits such as raspberries, blueberries and blackberries are also a bit low on fruit this year.

Gieringer says the phenomenon is called “winter kill” — it wasn’t the vegetable farmers’ dreaded late frost that caused it, it was the brutal winter itself. He’s been growing peaches since 2001, and this is the first time he’s seen it. He points to those days in February when area temperatures dropped double digits below zero.

“The rule of thumb on stone fruit is that you’ll lose about 10 percent of your blossom buds

for every degree below zero,” he says. “And so, when you get below minus 10 that’s getting up there to virtually a total loss.”

He knew well in advance of spring that his trees were goners, thanks to a peek into the tree’s reproductive system.

“You can bring those buds in within a couple of weeks after the freeze event, cut them open with a razor blade and look at them with a magnifying glass and you’ll see the very inside, you Please see FRUIT, page 7B

my old kitchen, you could make Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and a hot dog fairly painlessly, if you didn’t mind a colander maybe falling on your head or cutting your hand on a pizza slicer while you searched for a wooden spoon in the one drawers in the joint. Anything beyond that was sort of a “cook at your own risk” situation.

I’ve enjoyed very much cooking in our new kitchen. It’s not large by any stretch of the imagination, but compared to where I came from, it’s fit for Eric Ripert. As we unpacked boxes and fitted our kitchen I exclaimed to my sister that “THERE ARE STILL SOME Little did EMPTY they know SPACES!” and that, really, she demanded that I go they were out immedigetting their ately and fill them up with egg roll on and I was all the unitaskers I’d planning to been denying snap a few myself for photos, drink years.

Good thing a few I didn’t, martinis and though, chase the because it baby out of seems that my stuff mul- the kitchen a tiplied in the thousand boxes and times. Not now the new kitchen is full necessarily in to the gills. I that order.” scratch my head every day and wonder how on earth all of this was EVER in that other kitchen. It makes me think of the fish and the loaves, and what didn’t look like much is POW, a whole bunch. When did that happen?

Still, I have a billion times more counterspace than I had before and the added benefit of being able to cook in the kitchen without being completely cut off from the rest of the house, and so I’m still counting it all a gigantic win.

My friends, in the past, have tolerated my asking them to come over and cook with me in my kitchen, but it was always sad, painful, full of “excuse me’s” and “get the hell out of my way’s” and sometimes ended with tears or knives sticking out of appendages. So I was ever-so-happy to move and be able to invite them to cook in a space that might not be dangerous to their health.

The first big “cook at Megan’s” event, then, happened recently. Adam and Lindsey came over on a Friday because on a Thursday, I sent an email that said “COME OVER TOMORROW NIGHT. WE ARE GETTING OUR EGG

Baby sitter concerned about dad’s treatment of child

Dear Auburn: Not all parents have an enlightened attitude about child-rearing, and some mistakenly confuse belittling with good parenting. Most parents do not appreciate parenting pointers from a teenager. However, you are in a position to counteract some of Dad’s comments by giving positive feedback to those children when they are in your care. If the situation gets worse, you might speak to the mother about your concerns.

Dear Annie: This is a cautionary tale. I was seeing a psychotherapist (let’s call him “Tim”) to overcome a bad phase — I was in a loveless

Tim told me he could not ethically date anyone until two years after her last appointment. The fact that he was married didn’t seem to matter. Because I loved him, I stopped treatment so the twoyear waiting period could begin. We grew closer, but were not intimate. I felt sorry for his wife because she was suffering from a grave illness and had undergone surgery. I actually told him to treat her better.

Many months later, Tim’s wife divorced him. He’d been unfaithful with three other women, one of whom was the mother of a child he was counseling. I feel like such a fool. I was heartbroken to

‘Damages’ returns, but only to Direct TV “Damages” (9 p.m., Direct TV’s Audience Network) returns for a fourth season.

While Direct TV shared the production costs and broadcast rights of “Friday Night Lights” with NBC, “Damages” will air only on Direct TV, leaving nonsubscribers to wait until it is released on DVD or some streaming service.

Just as season three centered on the Madoff scandal, this year’s “Damages” tackles the thorny subject of private military contractors. Look for John Goodman as the head of a Halliburton-like firm who falls within Patty’s (Glenn Close) crosshairs. Her longtime protege Ellen (Rose Byrne) cultivates a friendship with a traumatized veteran of the private army, and Dylan Baker stars as a creepy agent with ties to the contractor and the Middle East. As always, “Damages” keeps audiences off balance with flashbacks and flash-forwards, asking us to anticipate events that we know about but don’t yet understand. Featuring one of the strongest and deepest casts on television, “Damages” is worth watching, however, wherever and whenever you can. ● John Goodman’s old co-star gets her own reality show, “Roseanne’s Nuts” (8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Lifetime).

Arguably the best sitcom of its era, “Roseanne” featured so much great talent and launched the careers of so many young performers, including Johnny Galecki and Sara Gilbert of “The Big Bang Theory,” and Sarah Chalke ("Scrubs,” “Mad Love"). And wasn’t there a young guy named George Clooney on that show?

As these talents have thrived, Roseanne Barr never topped or even approached the appeal of “Roseanne.” While that character was clearly based on her own life and standup routine, it was buttressed by other great performers, scripts, production and set decoration. Like the reality stars that she in many ways anticipated, Roseanne Barr could play only herself. As she does tonight, on “Nuts.” Help yourself. ● “Rescue Me” (9 p.m., FX) enters its seventh and final season with Tommy (Denis Leary) anticipating one new bundle of responsibility while putting out the many figurative fires he’s set over the years.

While “Rescue Me” was always supposed to be Leary’s tribute to the blue-collar stiff, so many of its plot points (midlife male sexual escapades, self-indulgence, impulse and addiction management, and therapy) seem more inspired by Leary’s Hollywood milieu than the firehouse. And that’s what has always seemed slightly forced and phony about this series.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Diamonds are forever in the 2003 animated Peanuts special “Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown” (7 p.m., ABC). ● Seth Meyers hosts the 2011 ESPYs (8 p.m., ESPN). ● “The Curious Case of Curt Flood” (8 p.m., HBO) profiles the baseball star who changed the face of labor relations between players and team owners. ● A poisoned cleanser on “Royal Pains” (8 p.m., USA). ● Trouble behind the wheel on “Necessary Roughness” (9 p.m., USA). ● Backstage drama on “Dance Moms” (9 p.m., Lifetime). ● “The Franchise: A Season With the San Francisco Giants” (9 p.m., Showtime).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Wednesday, July 13: This year, you often juggle two different issues, people or situations. You also might find yourself endlessly debating the pros and cons of acting in a certain way. If you are single, you meet many people, as you are unusually attractive this year. If you are attached, learn to juggle your different intimate needs with your mate's. Capricorn has the same issues but a different approach. You can learn from each other.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★ Take charge of an issue. You might want to rethink a situation, especially if you are inadvertently triggering it. Tonight: Until the wee hours.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Don't push others to do what you most likely would do better. Make a call to a loved one at a distance when you have some quiet time.

Tonight: Follow the music.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ A close relationship draws your attention.

perceived confusion.

Tonight: Dinner with a friend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Defer to those around you, especially to a close associate or respected loved one. Unexpected developments impact you.

Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Dive into work as if you want to take tomorrow off. You might be amazed by how much can be accomplished. Pressure builds in a unique manner.

Tonight: As late as you can go.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Be reasonable about a situation involving a project, child or new friend. What has occurred in the past doesn't need to happen anymore. Tonight: Midweek break.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ You could be exhausted by everything that you have had to handle. You might want to revise your thinking concerning a draining situation. Tonight: Happily at home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ Keep communication flowing, though at some point someone could have a strong reaction.

Realize that you might not have the control you had at

first. Tonight: Hang out; visit over munchies.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ Honor a financial obligation, even if it makes you very uptight and a little out of kilter. A risk most likely won't pay off. Tonight: Stay grounded. Go for a walk.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Resourcefulness comes naturally, yet even more so today. A surprise might stimulate this gift, and you come out with flying colors. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Know when to pull back. You really don't need others to support you in a key venture. Most likely, at this present time, they could change their mind. Tonight: Play it lowkey.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Zero in on key goals in a meeting. Others respect how you handle situations and the choices you make concerning them. Friendship plays a bigger role than normal.

Tonight: Midweek fun!

Dear Annie: I am 16 and regularly baby-sit for a 2-year-old boy and his 5-year-old sister.

Both kids are very sweet, although the boy has some minor behavior issues. I have addressed them and made it clear that they will not be tolerated while I’m babysitting.

The problem is their father.

He calls the boy “a little devil” and tells him he is “too feminine and babyish,” since he carries a blanket around and plays with his sister’s dolls.

But he’s only 2! Am I overstepping if I discuss this with him or the mother? I don’t want to lose this job, because I love the kids. — Auburn, Mass.
