Commission sold on trying donation meter plan

Water wars

When it comes to “donation meters,” sign Lawrence city commissioners up.

Commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting unanimously agreed to move ahead with a plan aimed at discouraging panhandlers by giving pedestrians a new way to donate spare change.

“I think it might redirect people’s charitable instincts to institutions where the money can be better used than giving it to somebody on the streets,” said Mayor Aron Cromwell.

The program centers on the idea of “donation meters.” City crews would install old parking meters that the city currently has in inventory. The meters would “I think it is a carry a different color scheme great idea than ordinary parking meters because it is a and also would include signs that urge people to place their spare visible effort to change in the meter rather than combat a problem giving to a panhandler. in downtown.”

T O P E K A — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt on Tuesday denied he was granting political favors in hiring a law firm without going out for bid.

Democrats have accused Schmidt, a Republican, of showing favoritism in hiring Foulston Siefkin in a sole-source contract to represent the state in a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood.

Democrats have noted that a partner in Foulston Siefkin, Harvey Sorensen, was co-chairman of Schmidt’s 2010 campaign.

“It is the responsibility of the attorney general to provide for the defense of the state in lawsuits,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka.

“What I f ind disturbing is that the attorney general is awarding a state contract Schmidt to political cronies on a no-bid basis,” Hensley said.

But Schmidt said he hired Foulston Siefkin because that was the best legal move in defending the state budget law that denies Planned Parenthood of $334,000 in federal family planning funds.

Schmidt said Planned Parenthood and other entities in the lawsuit are represented by nationally and internationally known law firms.

“Clearly, the plaintiffs in that case brought in the big guns,” he said.

Schmidt said his civil litigation division has 10 attorneys handling more than 600 case files with 300 of those in litigation.

Foulston Siefkin, he said, is the largest law firm in Kansas with approximately 700 lawyers. Also, Schmidt said, he had to act quickly because the judge in the case set an initial hearing just a week after the law took effect.

Of the Democrats’ charge, Schmidt said there are attorneys with Foulston Siefkin who supported him and some who supported his Democratic opponent, former Attorney General Steve Six. His choice of Foulston Siefkin

where from eight to 16 meters along Massachusetts Street in downtown. But commissioners did not discuss exact location for any of the meters.

Staff members were told to explore the possibility of a sponsorship program for the meters. Some cities have allowed businesses to sponsor the cost of installing the meter. The city currently is estimating it will cost about $300 to prepare the meters and to install them.

Regulations on towing charges possible, as laws elsewhere show

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug said this week that the county’s hands were tied when it comes to regulating prices charged by local towing companies.

But further research shows some states and municipalities have found ways to keep charges down.

Sunday’s Journal-World article highlighted the story of Lawrence man Ray Bloxsom, who was charged $675 by a local towing company after he was in an accident on Kentucky Street. Bloxsom’s charges included a

“mileage charge” of $125, even though his vehicle was towed only three miles.

After his accident, Weinaug Bloxsom told police he had no preference for which company county dispatchers called for assistance. Douglas County Dispatch operates a rotation list system with 10 local tow companies, and when someone expresses no preference, dispatchers call the next name on the list.

But the county doesn’t

regulate how much tow companies can charge for services.

Weinaug cited federal law prohibiting municipalities from excluding companies from the list if they charge too much, or setting a price cap for services.

While there are restrictions against capping tow prices, outlined in the 1995 federal Motor Carrier Act, those guidelines don’t pertain to the type of “non-preference” tows included in rotation list systems operated by Douglas County, said Sam Brewer, past president of the Professional Wrecker Operators of Florida.

Per Florida law, counties

set the rates tow companies can charge for nonpreference tows, Brewer said.

And government entities have discretion about who is or is not on rotation lists, said Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Steve Gaskins.

If companies overcharge, the Highway Patrol investigates to make sure the rates conform to county standards.

“If there’s a problem, we kick them off,” Gaskins said.

In California, lawmakers have passed legislation allowing government entities to regulate tow prices, said Glenn Neal, executive director of the California Trucking Association.

Neal said companies on rotation lists must keep their charges within 15 percent of other services on the list. The regulations help keep prices competitive and fair, he said.

Weinaug said that Douglas County officials looked at options several years ago to regulate prices, but couldn’t come up with anything that wouldn’t violate the federal law. But Weinaug said the county would be receptive to options that would set standard prices.

“We would be ecstatic to look at it,” he said.

BRIEFLY Hearings resume in Kline ethics case TOPEKA — A hearing resumed Tuesday into former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline’s conduct while investigating abortion providers with testimony from a woman who once led a Kansas City-area grand jury and complained that Kline and his subordinates misled the group.

A three-member panel of the state Board for Discipline of Attorneys hopes to wrap up its hearings this week. It will make a recommendation to the Kansas Supreme Court on whether Kline should face any sanctions for actions he took as attorney general from 2003 to 2007 and as Johnson County district attorney in 2007 and 2008.

Kline sees the complaints as political and has denied wrongdoing.

The hearing Tuesday focused on information Kline and subordinates provided to a Johnson County grand jury when he was district attorney.

The grand jury’s leader contends it was misleading; Kline strongly disputes the claim.

Man to stand trial in indecent liberties case A Douglas County judge Tuesday ordered a 20-year-old Lawrence man to stand trial on charges he had sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl in May. Prosecutors said District Judge Sally Pokorny heard evidence in a preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon and scheduled an Oct. 5 trial on charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and criminal sodomy with a child through fondling or touching.

Lawrence police arrested the man in June after receiving a call from a parent who alleged the man had inappro-

Commissioners said they also would need to designate a social service agency to receive the money. Cromwell said he would lobby for the money to go to the Lawrence Community Shelter.

The city does not have an estimate on how much money the meters may generate. Commissioners, though, said they thought the pres-

priate sexual relations with the girl May 21 in northeastern Lawrence.

The man was also arrested on a warrant from the Kansas Department of Corrections. He has been on parole since February after serving one year in prison on several theft and burglary convictions in Douglas County.

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

‘Old’ K-10 stretch reopens to traffic A stretch of “old” Kansas Highway 10 is back in service, smoothing out a popular route connecting Lawrence and Eudora.

The three-mile section of Douglas County Route 442 — running from a half-mile east of Noria Road to the route’s bridge over the Wakarusa River, just west of Eudora — reopened Tuesday afternoon, after an overhaul that started June 20.

Perry-based Hamm Inc. finished the $1.1 million project two weeks early, having removed the top five inches of pavement and replacing it will a special layer of sealant, topped by another four inches of fresh asphalt.

The persistent bumps caused by shifting joints have been smoothed over by a surface designed to accommodate the road’s 4,000 daily vehicles for years to come.

“The original K-10 was built in the 1930s, and the concrete (base) is actually in decent shape,” said Terese Gorman, engineering division manager for Douglas County. “We think we’ll get another 20 to 25 years of life out of this roadway, with this treatment.

“That doesn’t mean we won’t touch it for 20 to 25 years, but we think we’ve improved the life significantly.”

ence of the meters would serve as a good reminder to people that there are better ways to help the homeless than to give to panhandlers.

“I think it is a great idea because it is a visible effort to combat a problem in downtown,” Commissioner Hugh Carter said.

Commissioners should receive an implementation report in the next several weeks.

CITY COMMISSION BRIEFS City leaders OK retirees task force

Healthy food access grant sees support

Lawrence city commissioners are ready to create a new task force aimed at attracting more retirees to the community.

Commissioners at their weekly meeting on Tuesday agreed to create a Retirees Attraction Task Force. The group would have 12 members, including a city commissioner and a county commissioner.

The city and county commissions each would appoint five members to serve on the group.

City Commissioner Hugh Carter said he envisions the task force would develop a set of recommendations on how the community could better position itself to attract members 50-plus age set.

The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce’s Senior Council urged the city to move ahead with the project. That group prepared a report that suggested attracting retirees could provide a boon to the economy through new property and sales tax collections and through greater charitable giving.

City commissioners agreed to lend their support to a grant application to improve the community’s access to healthy foods.

Douglas County Community Foundation and LawrenceDouglas County Health Department are working to submit a planning grant application to the Kansas Health Foundation’s Access to Healthy Foods Initiative.

Commissioners also were told that the Douglas County Food Policy Council also likely will approach the city about participating in a program to make public lands more accessible to community fruit and vegetable farmers.

The council is looking at ways that vacant lands currently owned by the city and the county could be leased to vegetable or fruit farmers.

Eileen Horn, the city/county sustainability coordinator, said the idea has worked in other communities. She said the project might benefit young farmers who can’t afford the land prices in rural Douglas County or it might assist existing growers who are looking to expand.

Commissioners were told to expect a formal proposal in the future.

Impact of SRS closure on local agencies

By Scott Rothschild srothchild@ljworld.com

Representatives of nearly 20 local agencies testified Tuesday before Douglas County Commission about the impact of closing the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services office in Lawrence.

SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. has said closing the office will save the state $413,385 per year.

But representatives of local agencies said much of the savings to the state would be shifted as costs to their organizations.

Meanwhile, they said an unknown number of vulnerable Kansans would lose care because they wouldn’t be able to travel to other cities to access services. In the long run, the cost to Kansas will be greater because the loss of the SRS office will produce more emergency situations, local officials said.

Here are portions of some of their submissions:

Lawrence Community Shelter Due to loss of efficiency, it is estimated that the SRS closing could double work time with guests needing SRS interaction. Hiring a new case manager, increased transportation costs, $52,400.

Independence Inc. Adult Protective Services Reports: Investigation not feasible by phone or computer. Requires face-to-face visits by SRS employee.

The cost of increased staff time, transportation and

Brownback and SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. have said the Lawrence office and eight others must be closed as a cost-cutting move.

Siedlecki has said eliminating the Lawrence office — the largest of the planned closures — will save the state $413,000; most of that is in rent that the state pays.

But representatives of nearly 20 local agencies at the meeting said the savings would be transferred as costs to them.

Most said if the Lawrence office is closed, many vulnerable residents would be unable to access services and would eventually require more expensive medical care.

They also rejected the notion by Brownback and Siedlecki that people could access services by traveling to offices in other cities, such as Topeka, Overland Park and Ottawa, or use the Internet or telephone.

Other agencies said they would see their travel costs and travel time skyrocket because they would have to take people to other cities.

This would subtract from the time they have for helping

was in the best interest of the state officials who were sued, he said.

He said the same considerations went into hiring Stephen McAllister as outside counsel in lawsuits filed against the state’s new abortion clinic regulations. That was also a no-bid contract.

Under the Foulston Siefkin contract, the rates for four attorneys are $300 per hour, while three other attorneys will earn from $160 per hour to $260 per hour. A paralegal will be paid $115 per hour.

Under the contract with

other items to accompany consumers to SRS offices in other cities estimated at $800 per month.

It is unlikely that service interruptions can be avoided.

Visiting Nurses Association Possible cost of $25,000 per year, including $16,000 in transportation costs for Medicaid clients when needing to go to the SRS office. Many of the 286 per year Medicaid patients do not have telephones and most do not have home computers. VNA would have to arrange for transportation to bring patients into VNA offices to work with VNA social workers to complete online forms.

There is still a face-to-face requirement in the application process that would require patients being transported to the nearest SRS office or a case worker going to the patient’s home. Most patients are sick and frail, and it is a hardship to leave their homes.

Success by 6 $33,400, much of which would be transportation costs.

Cottonwood Inc. Community employment division, JobLink, would incur additional annual costs related to staff time and transportation of approximately $60,000.

Increase in the number of people in crisis forced to access Medicaid waiver would result in higher costs to the state of $30,000 per person.

Individuals with develop-

others, they said. And many said they would have to hire more caseworkers and other support employees.

“It is almost going to double the amount of time it will take to work with some of these clients,” said Loring Henderson, director of the Lawrence Community Shelter.

He said the SRS office closure seemed like an insurmountable challenge.

“It’s almost like trying to deal with inconsistencies in the Bible,” he said. “You just kind of rub them together, and rub them together, and you deal with them.”

Laura Bennetts, co-chair of the Douglas County Commission on Aging, said the loss of the SRS office and social workers would “be a crisis like losing emergency services at a hospital. We are so reliant on social workers. You cannot replace them.”

Several voiced concern that cases of child abuse would increase without the Lawrence SRS office.

Judy Culley, executive director of Shelter Inc., described how currently SRS, the Douglas County district attorney’s office, law offices and various other agencies work together on child abuse cases. Without a local SRS office with knowledgeable employees, she said, “time is lost.”

But state Rep. TerriLois

McAllister, he will receive $250 per hour, while three other attorneys will receive from $175 per hour to $225 per hour. A paralegal will make $75 per hour.

Both contracts say the costs to the state shall not exceed $100,000, but those terms can be changed.

The Kansas Democratic Party also blasted Schmidt for Deputy Attorney General Jeff Chanay being involved in awarding the sole-source contracts.

In the 1990s, Chanay had been a partner in Entz & Chanay, which received a multimillion dollar no-bid contract from then-Attorney General Carla Stovall to represent the state in the tobacco settlement.

mental disabilities who would have to be driven to different city to apply for Medicaid, food stamps, etc., $20,000.

Closing the SRS off ice would result in the loss of a critical local link in our community. There is no way to assess the value of the collaborative relationships built over the years with the local SRS office. Cost: Priceless.

Douglas County Senior Services $38,400 to $39,000 for increased staff and travel time to assist seniors with various SRS services, such as food stamps.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office An inmate re-entry program would cost an estimated $8,351 more annually for transportation for SRS appointments. The immediate concern is the success of inmates upon their return to the community. Without access to basic transitioning benefits through food, housing and financial assistance, inmates may continue victimizing our community, eventually spilling over to the ever-increasing incarceration and costing our society even more.

Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority In terms of additional costs per year, we estimate that an additional 600 hours of case management services at a cost of approximately $12,000; $3,000 in copies, scanning and faxing, and $8,000 in transportation.

Gregory, R-Baldwin City, said that in her conversations with administration officials, it was her understanding that SRS will continue to have child protection caseworkers in Lawrence “and have the ability to immediately respond.” SRS officials have also made this statement to the Lawrence Journal-World.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, however, said in his talks with SRS officials, they haven’t provided any details on how this would work.

“I will tell the commission I am not optimistic,” Branson said.

He said that in talking with SRS officials, “When pressed, how many workers, where would they be housed, assigned — they said to each one of those questions: ‘We don’t know.’ It stunned me,” he said.

He said even if a contingent of SRS employees are based in Lawrence, that won’t make up for the loss of numerous social workers currently here who are able to work with families to prevent emergency situations.

“We would just be picking up the pieces once abuse and neglect occurs” if the office is closed, he said.

1 | MINNESOTA

Special session called to end shutdown An end to Minnesota’s nearly three-week-long state government shutdown came into view Tuesday, when Gov. Mark Dayton called the Legislature into a special session to vote on a budget deal.

The 19-day government stoppage has sullied Minnesota’s good-government reputation, while disrupting lives and businesses around the state. It will be over only after both chambers of the Republicancontrolled Legislature approve nine budget bills and Dayton, a Democrat, signs them into law.

Debate on those measures was expected to stretch into today with lawmakers working overnight.

Legislative leaders and Dayton agreed before the votes began to limit the scope of the special session and lawmakers’ ability to tinker with the bills in an effort to keep the budget pact from unraveling once 200 legislators get involved.

Both chambers came to order shortly after 3 p.m., immediately broke for several hours, then started passing budget bills around dinnertime. Within two hours, five of nine budget bills were sent to Dayton.

2 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Deficit-cutting bill pushed through House Defying a veto threat, the Republican-controlled House voted Tuesday night to slice federal spending by $6 trillion and require a constitutional balanced budget amendment to be sent to the states in exchange for averting a threatened Aug. 2 government default.

The 234-190 vote marked the power of deeply conservative first-term Republicans, and it stood in contrast to rising support at the White House and in the Senate for a late stab at bipartisanship to solve the nation’s looming debt crisis.

President Barack Obama and a startling number of Republican senators lauded a deficit-reduction plan put forward earlier in the day that would include $1 trillion in what sponsors delicately called “additional revenue” and some critics swiftly labeled as higher taxes.

Experts: No copays for contraceptives Millions of women stand to gain free access to a broad menu of birth control methods, thanks to a recommendation issued Tuesday by health experts advising the government.

An Institute of Medicine panel recommended that the government require health insurance companies to cover birth control for women as preventive care, without copayments. Contraception — along with such care as diabetes tests during pregnancy and screening for the virus that causes cervical cancer — was one of eight recommended preventive services for women.

“Unintended pregnancies carry health consequences for the mother — psychological, emotional and physical — and also consequences for the newborn,” said Dr. Linda Rosenstock, panel chairwoman and dean of public health at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“The overwhelming evidence was strongly supportive of the health benefit” of contraception.

Funds for proposed rec center in question

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Fans of a proposed west Lawrence recreation center were urged Tuesday to start making some noise at City Hall in hopes of keeping the idea alive during tight budget times.

Members of the city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board said they were concerned the proposal was on the ropes after city commissioners last week agreed to cut $200,000 from the Parks and Recreation Department budget — even though the cut came with a warning from

the city manager that it would make future large-scale projects very difficult.

“It seems like short-sighted thinking at the moment,” said Jana Dobbs, chair of the cityappointed advisory board.

Commissioners agreed to the $200,000 cut as they struggled

with ways to add police officers and provide city employees a raise without increasing property taxes.

Dobbs said she thinks the Parks and Recreation Department has been an easy cut for Please see REC CENTER, page 5A

Heat no match for Sidewalk Sale

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Excessive heat, stifling humidity and blinding sun can’t stop more than a halfcentury of shopping tradition.

Not when there are bargains to be had.

Early Thursday morning, dozens of deal-seeking folks from Lawrence and places elsewhere will start their pilgrimage to Massachusetts Street for the 51st annual Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale, which will include cooling stations and portable toilets for visitor comfort.

The event officially runs from “sunup to sundown,” although several retailers — including Shark’s Surf Shop and Jock’s Nitch — plan to open at 5 a.m.

Throughout the day, more than 100 retailers and others will be working to clear inventory, freeing up shelf space and enticing shoppers with discounts, curious offerings and updated takes on old-time commercial entertainment.

The “barkers” at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop are only part of the draw, said Cathy Hamilton, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., the event’s organizer. Community groups will fan out to offer food and information. Borderline Country and other groups will perform at the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets.

SALES ASSOCIATE KYLE ALLEN SITS AMONG A PILE OF WOMEN'S RUNNING SHOES as he take inventory before marking the sale prices Tuesday at Brown's Shoe Fit Company, 829 Mass., in preparation for the Sidewalk Sale on Thursday morning. Store officials say they plan to have about 6,000 pairs of shoes on sale for the day.

Folks from the Topeka Zoo will be walking around with snakes, lizards, tortoises and other heat-tolerant critters.

“It’s a happening,” Hamilton said.

With the Lawrence area remaining under an excessive heat warning, organizers aren’t taking any chances. Shoppers will be able to visit several

cooling stations to take breaks indoors, where free water will be available: ● The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Mass. ● Signs of Life bookstore, 722 Mass. ● Blue Dandelion, 841 Mass. ● US Bank, 900 Mass. ● Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Mass.

Portable toilets also will be available: two in the vacant lot adjacent to the Eldridge, and two in the breezeway in the 800 block of Massachusetts, immediately north of the Antique Mall.

Murdoch rejects blame for scandal Summoned by lawmakers to answer for a phone hacking and bribery scandal at one of his tabloids, Rupert Murdoch said he was humbled and ashamed Tuesday but accepted no responsibility for wrongdoing as a widening investigation threatened to ensnare Britain’s prime minister.

In a three-hour grilling, the 80-year-old media tycoon insisted he was at fault only for trusting the wrong people at the now-defunct News of the World and noted that the paper made up a tiny portion of his vast media empire.

The scandal has rocked Murdoch’s News Corp. and embroiled Britain’s top police, many journalists and politicians. Prime Minister David Cameron cut short his Africa trip to appear before a special parliamentary question session he called for today.

Murdoch stayed seated when a man tried to throw a foam pie at him. A News Corp. attorney partially blocked the attack and Murdoch’s 42-year-old wife slapped the prankster.

Bathroom messages to bring attention to smoking effects When men use the urinals in bars and restaurants around town, a message about tobacco use will be glaring up at them from cherry-scented deodorizer screens.

“Can you still get it up?”

The deodorizer screens are part of an inyour-face tobacco prevention campaign by the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department that targets residents between the ages of 18 and 30. The $21,000 campaign will begin in mid-August.

“It’s pretty edgy,” director Dan Partridge said with a grin.

The message lets men know that smoking can cause impotence. In women’s bathrooms, stickers near the mirrors will remind

them about the effects of smoking on skin: wrinkles.

SOUND OFF

Q:

KU students testify about on-campus armed robbery

I’ve been hearing rumors the new director at the Lawrence Humane Society has disbanded the Teen Volunteer Program and that a number of cats have been euthanized.

By George Diepenbrock Are any of these true?

gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A:

According to Dori Villalon, Humane Society director, 362 cats have been euthanized in the first six months on 2011, compared with 455 for the same period in 2010. In addition, Villalon said the Teen Volunteer Program, as well as all volunteer programs at the shelter, are “on hold,” as the agency is examining ways to overhaul all of its volunteer programs.

Villalon said more information about the volunteer programs will be released in coming months.

ON THE

STREET

By Andy Hyland Read more responses and add your thoughts at LJWorld.com

Should the United States be the global police force of the world?

Asked on Massachusetts Street

Bob DeYoung, business professor, Baldwin City “No. That’s a big no.”

Two Kansas University students on Tuesday described being robbed at gunpoint early on June 23 as they were walking on Memorial Drive.

“Two men jumped out of an older Honda Accord. They both had guns, and they both yelled at us to get on the ground,” said Matthew Johnson, 22, who testified in Douglas County District Court.

Douglas County prosecutors accuse Brandon James Huggins, a 23-year-old Fort Leavenworth solider, and Michael Martin Gerald, 21, of robbing Johnson and his friend John Tucker Allred, 22.

Both Johnson and Allred testified during Tuesday’s preliminary hearing they were walking through campus about 1 a.m. after drinking at a bar. They said as they walked in the street northwest of Strong Hall, two men wearing white T-shirts with bandanas covering most of their faces ordered them onto the ground.

ON THE RECORD

“I did it because they had a gun in their hands, and I feared for my life,” Allred said.

Both students said the men ordered them to remove their pants and took money from them.

Prosecutors during the hearing did not ask Johnson or Allred if they could identify either defendant as one of the alleged robbers. Both witnesses said one of the robbers was a black man and the other was a white man.

Huggins is white, and Gerald is black.

Both students also said they remembered the black man say to them, “How y’all doing tonight?” and “We’re probably the nicest guys who’ve ever robbed you.”

“It was a little weird considering what was going on,” Allred said.

Johnson alleged the white man also looked at his driver’s license at one point.

“He said, ‘Just try to go to the cops and see what happens,’ in a very threatening way,” Johnson said.

Johnson said after the car

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • Lawrence police arrested a 24-year-old Lawrence man Tuesday morning on an aggravated battery charge after he was accused of cutting a Topeka man in the hand with a knife during an altercation in the 700 block of West 25th Street.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a police spokesman, said the suspect went to the apartment around 4 a.m. Tuesday because he was angry about the 21-year-old Topeka man being involved in an altercation with a woman earlier. As the Topeka man tried to shut the door to the apartment he was poked in the hand by a knife the Lawrence man had displayed, Sarna said.

A witness called police, and the Topeka man declined medical attention. Officers later found the Lawrence man in the 2400 block of Alabama Street and arrested him.

Prosecutors could file formal charges today. The JournalWorld generally does not identify suspects unless they are formally charged.

• A 39-year-old Lawrence man reported to police that someone had stolen his 1974 brown Chevrolet truck valued at $4,000 between 5 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m.

Saturday from the 900 block of North Third Street. The vehicle was recovered later in the 800 block of East 800 Road and towed, Sarna said.

• A Lawrence police officer July 13 discovered a 2008 Kia Rio that had been reported stolen June 30 from Topeka in the parking lot of the Howard Johnson

hotel, 2222 W. Sixth St. Sarna said while officers were checking to see who the vehicle was registered to, a 24-year-old Lawrence woman and 34-yearold Lawrence man got into the car. An officer stopped the vehicle in the parking lot. Both suspects were identified, but no one was arrested pending further investigation, Sarna said.

• TwoLAWRENCE Lawrence men who were injured in separate motorcycle accidents Monday on U.S. Highway 40 west of Lawrence remained in a Topeka hospital Tuesday.

A Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center spokeswoman Tuesday said Clinton C. Marker Jr., 61, and John Robert Sinclair, 47, were both listed in satisfactory condition.

Kansas Highway Patrol said Marker was attempting to pass a semitrailer in a no-passing zone and struck the trailer about 7:10 a.m. Monday 1 mile east of the Shawnee County line.

Sinclair was injured about 12:30 p.m. Monday about 6 miles west of Lawrence when he lost control and his motorcycle came to a rest in the west ditch of the highway.

left, he and Allred ran down toward Potter Lake and called 911. Police later stopped a vehicle in the area and arrested Huggins and Gerald, who each face two counts of aggravated robbery, one count of conspiracy to commit robbery and one count of aggravated intimidation of a victim.

During cross-examination, Sarah Swain, Huggins’ defense attorney, pointed out that in his written statement given to KU Public Safety officers Johnson did not indicate the white man had a weapon. Allred said he could not clearly recall seeing the white man with a gun but said he believed he had one.

The hearing in District Judge Paula Martin’s courtroom is scheduled to continue Aug. 2. Prosecutors have said they intend to have KU Public Safety officers who interviewed the suspects, Johnson and Allred testify.

Spreading of tack oil leaves sticky mess

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Motorists Tuesday afternoon were instructed to avoid 19th Street between Tennessee and Massachusetts streets as construction crews attempted to clean up a sticky situation.

The stretch of 19th Street has a noticeable coating of black “tack oil” that inadvertently was spread by private contractors working to repave a section of Tennessee Street.

Motorists have been driving over the oil, and it could stick to tires or other parts of the vehicle. City officials said the oil shouldn’t cause permanent damage to any vehicles, but they are suggesting that motorists consider taking their vehicles to a car wash.

“The longer you wait to

wash it off, the harder it will be to get off,” said Mark Thiel, the city’s assistant director of public works.

Thiel said the incident occurred as part of work to repave Tennessee Street from 10th to 19th streets. Tack oil was being spread on that stretch of road to help new asphalt better adhere to the old asphalt. But construction crews were driving their trucks over the tack oil for many blocks at a time and then were driving on 19th Street.

The oil from the tires started rubbing off onto 19th Street.

“It really is a small amount, but it looks like a lot because it has turned everything black,” Thiel said.

Crews originally were instructed by the city to drive only for short distance on the tack oil in an effort to cut back on the amount of oil that was tracked onto other city

streets. But those instructions weren’t followed, and as a result, Thiel said the contractor will be responsible for cleaning up the oil and paying for any repairs needed.

Lawrence-based Sunflower Paving is the contractor on the project. Thiel said the most likely repairs would be replacement of pavement markings that have been stained by the oil.

As for vehicle damage, Thiel said the nature of the oil should make it unlikely that vehicles had their paint jobs damaged by the oil. He said the oil is so sticky that it usually doesn’t splash upward when driven on. The oil does stick to tires, but usually rubs off after a couple of miles, Thiel said.

BRIEFLY Health dept. starting advisory council Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department is recruiting members for its new client advisory council.

The council will consist of about 12 people from Douglas County who access services provided by the health department.

Plans call for quarterly meetings. The council will collaborate with the health department board to improve

commissioners because the department performs well enough that the public hasn’t been demanding increases in services.

“When something is running smooth, you don’t hear a lot about it,” Dobbs said. “We have a lot of satisfied customers, which is great. But it is true that it is easy to grease the squeaky wheel.”

Parks and recreation staff members briefed the board on the latest budget issues.

Ernie Shaw, interim director of parks and recreation, told the board that the staff believes a west Lawrence recreation center is still needed. The center, proposed for city-owned property near Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive, would feature multiple gyms in a fieldhouse type of arrangement.

Shaw said gym space was critically low in the city, cit-

services and processes.

Director Dan Partridge hopes to have the council in place by September.

To learn more, call the health department at 843-3060.

Indonesian students to dance at KU event Eighteen Indonesian students studying English at Kansas University are scheduled to perform dances and display traditional costumes at an event this evening on the KU campus.

They will be joined by Fulbright students from 23 countries across the world, who will have tables set up with information from their own cultures.

The event is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. today in front of Lewis Hall, 1530 Engel Road.

Geri Lamer, program coordinator for KU’s Applied English Center, said the Indonesian students were the ones who had the idea to organize the event.

It is free and open to the public.

ing that competitive volleyball players now must travel outside of Lawrence to compete and that many youth basketball leagues consist only of six-game seasons because of the gym shortage.

But he also said he understands the financial pressures the city is facing.

“I think the public really just needs to let the commission know whether it thinks this is a need or not,” Shaw said. “If they do, great. If they don’t, that’s fine too. I just want to make sure there’s public input, and I’m not sure parks and recreation issues are generating much public comment right now.”

A formal proposal hasn’t been publicly presented to city commissioners yet. But officials have confirmed that a recreation center project likely would cost about $15 million.

Officials also have confirmed that Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self’s foundation has an interest in donating to the project — likely $1 million from the foundation with

Self helping to raise another $2 million in private donations.

Board members expressed concern that Self may choose to donate the money to other causes outside Lawrence if the project is going to be delayed several years.

Shaw said the foundation has been good to work with and hasn’t made any demands, but he said he has not had detailed discussions with the group since news of the budget cuts came down last week.

“I do know they want a project they can sink their teeth into,” Shaw said of the foundation. “I think they were hoping it would be in Lawrence, but I know they have other options.”

City commissioners are set to finalize the 2012 budget on Aug. 2. They are expected to put a discussion of the recreation center project on a meeting sometime after the budget is finalized.

Better together Bringing AT&T customers a stronger network faster.

AT&T customers, including those who join us from T-Mobile, will see significant service improvements from the merger. The addition of T-Mobile’s spectrum resources and thousands of cell sites will quickly increase capacity and coverage, resulting in better call reliability and data speeds.

Mobile data traffic on AT&T’s network has grown 8,000% over the last four years. With tablets, cloud computing, and a new generation of bandwidth-hungry devices on the horizon, demand is expected to increase an additional 8-10 times by 2015.

Integrating T-Mobile’s network resources, while continuing AT&T’s network investment, is the surest, fastest, and most efficient way to meet this challenge.

Continued innovation for T-Mobile customers.

Through the integration with AT&T, T-Mobile customers can continue to enjoy innovative technologies, devices, and services for many years to come. They will have the freedom to keep their existing pricing plans and phones, and will benefit in the future with expanded capabilities.

T-Mobile customers will also benefit from network enhancements — such as improved coverage in remote regions and access to AT&T’s planned next generation networks.

Reaching more of Kansas with LTE. LTE technology is a super-fast way to connect to the Internet.

The combination of AT&T and T-Mobile will allow AT&T to expand its LTE wireless broadband network to cover over 92% of Kansas residents. That means 750,000 more people in Kansas, many in small towns and rural areas, will get access to LTE due to the merger.

Our customers will get a stronger network. The state will get a new choice for broadband. And more of Kansas will get access to a cutting-edge wireless network and all the opportunities it brings.

Groundbreaking facility KU’s new Center for Design and Research will have a significant impact on the university’s education and research mission.

A

new chapter of education and research at Kansas University was opened this past Saturday with the ribbon-cutting of the new KU Center for Design and Research.

Located on the south side of Bob Billings Parkway, near its intersection with Westbrooke Road, this unique and stylish building probably houses more equipment and technology focused on protecting and sustaining the environment and our natural resources than any other single building in the country.

There is nothing like it in this part of the nation. It will serve as a laboratory, classroom and teaching facility for the university and will help educate the public about sustainable materials, research and building techniques.

The building is located on the former Chamney Dairy farm near the farm’s landmark silo and stone barn. Those at the Center for Design Research believe their new facility will help break down the many “silos” that currently separate many disciplines within the university.

One of the main areas of research will be smart meters and how these devices will be used to monitor energy usage in our homes, businesses and automobiles. The wise and efficient use of natural resources, recycling, new industrial design, building materials, engineering and public education all are a part of the center.

The project was created under the direction of Dan Rockhill, KU professor of architecture and director of Studio 804, a group of about 20 KU graduate students in architecture and engineering who did a major part of the design and construction. The overall project falls under John Gaunt, dean of the School of Architecture, Design and Planning, with professor Greg Thomas serving as director of the center.

Thomas, Gaunt and Rockhill share challenging visions for the center and how it will open new areas of groundbreaking research and study for university faculty and students and be a new and exciting facility to help educate the public.

Having taught government at a high school, Ben now runs his own real estate investment company and co-owns a Philadelphia bar. In fact, one of his business partners is Rob McElhenney, star and creator of the TV show “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

Ben was raised Catholic. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame after spending a semester interning for Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., in Washington. Ben comes from a great family, and I can personally attest to his character.

For two summers he interned for my talk-radio program (on a station that then featured conservative icons Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity).

I will never forget the day he jumped unsolicited into his car and drove three hours to the nation’s capital to stand in line and pay his respects to President Ronald Reagan as the Gipper lay in state — all while providing my listening audience with live reports.

Ben is troubled by your signing of a 14-point pro-marriage pledge at the request of the Family Leader,

“

… he wonders who exactly you think would ‘choose’ to be gay, given the myriad personal, emotional, and legal issues that a homosexual lifestyle introduces.” an Iowa social conservative group.

It’s not only the part about black kids being better off under slavery than they are today that caught his eye. (Yes, he knows that language was dropped after you signed the pledge.) It’s the verbiage about sexuality being a choice.

You signed a document that challenges the belief that sexuality is predetermined. The Family Leader pledge laments that marriage is “debased” by, among other things, an “antiscientific bias which holds, in complete absence of empirical proof, that nonheterosexual inclinations are genetically determined, irresistible, and akin to innate traits like race, gender, and eye color.”

See, my friend and former intern Ben is gay. And he never made any such choice.

Your thinking is nothing new, and it runs in your family.

In 2004, at the National Education Leadership Conference, you said of the gay lifestyle: “It’s a very sad life. It’s part of Satan, I think, to say this is gay. It’s anything but gay.”

Then there’s your husband, Marcus, who obtained his Ph.D.

by virtue of a correspondence course. He runs a mental-health clinic but, according to Politico, is not registered with any of the three state boards that certify mental health practitioners.

(Minnesota is one of the only states in which you can practice mental health without a license.)

Last year, when asked during a radio interview about parenting homosexual children, he said: “We have to understand: Barbarians need to be educated.

They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it, doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps.”

Marcus Bachmann has denied that his clinic engages in attempts to “pray away the gay,” but ABC’s Nightline recently aired an interview with a man who said that, at age 17, he sought help from Bachmann & Associates and the “path for my therapy would be to read the Bible, pray to God that I would no longer be gay.”

Naturally, Ben, a proud Notre Dame alum, doesn’t appreciate the reference to the devil, nor being compared to barbarians.

His life is anything but “sad,” and there are a number of things he thinks you should know.

First, he’s always known he was gay. “I’ve always known something was different,” he told me. “Com-

ing out is more a process of accepting yourself than anything else.”

Second, there is nothing in his background that caused this. He is part of a conservative family and attended a Catholic high school and college — an upbringing that he says did nothing to “promote being gay.”

And he wonders who exactly you think would “choose” to be gay, given the myriad personal, emotional, and legal issues that a homosexual lifestyle introduces.

“If you could simply choose who you were sexually attracted to,” Ben wondered, “wouldn’t you choose the path of least resistance? Being gay creates problems and obstacles in life that no one would willingly choose.”

Ben also has a political observation he wishes to share. Signing a pledge that says he and others chose their sexuality, your husband’s equating homosexuals with barbarians, and attempts to pray out of one’s sexual preference are shortsighted and show your naivete about winning the presidency.

Such beliefs may win you the votes for the Republican nomination, but they all but guarantee that you will not win the moderate voters who continually decide presidential elections. To them and most of the nation, your positions are out of touch, insulting, and downright flaky.

Nuclear safety

●●●

One disturbing facet of the Center for Design Research building is the decision by university officials to build a 30,000-squarefoot building for the Facilities Operations department immediately south of the new research building. Evidently, the KU Endowment Association gave its approval to use this piece of Endowment land.

There are plenty of other sites for the FO building and this open, attractive green space should be reserved for the likely expansion of the design research program. It would be a serious mistake to use this beautiful area for the FO building. Although there has not been any public discussion of the future of the CDR program, there is reason to believe it will grow with a cluster of small, low-profile buildings forming a mini-campus on the current tranquil greenspace.

Why not tear down the ugly, pre-fab FO buildings that line the south side of Bob Billings Parkway north of the Lied Center and put the new building at that location. Or how about finding space in the large FO footprint located west of the CDR building? If there is genuine concern about protecting and preserving the beauty of the campus, it would be a mistake to place a large office building in this prime education/research location.

To the editor: Commencing on July 2, we have been informed by the Journal-World how “U.S. regulators have weakened safety rules,” “Tritium leaks found at many nuclear plants” and other problems with our nuclear facilities. No mention was made of the fact that during the 60 years that the industry has been in operation there has never been a single human life lost in an American nuclear power plant accident. What other major industry in the U.S. can make that statement? Commercial airlines? Mining?

Railroads? Trucking, etc.?

What is an acceptable replacement? Coal-f ired plants? Wind? Solar? If windmills are the proper replacement, should our nuclearpowered Navy go back to sails for power?

The real question is, as nuclear and coal plants age and are phased out, will the common people lose their freedom to have electricity? Will only the elite (Al Gore, Warren Buffet, etc.) have this privilege?

V.U. Muirhead, payers have sacrificed enough.

Conservatives hold fiscal key PLYMOUTH NOTCH, VT. — If your disgust over America’s crushing debt and the irresponsible leaders who refuse to reduce unnecessary spending has reached the fed-up point, there is an easy solution beyond whatever compromise might be reached in the current standoff between President Obama and congressional Republicans. Vote Republican in 2012.

But don’t vote for just any Republican, rather vote for conservatives who believe the foundational principles of America still work and can rescue us from default, placing the country back on a track that leads to prosperity and greater liberty.

Last week, I was one in a series of speakers (Justice Stephen Breyer speaks next week) at the new Calvin Coolidge Museum and Education Center. My subject was “What the Past Can Teach the Present, Ensuring the Future.”

There are no new ideas, only old ideas that either worked or failed.

There is “nothing new under the sun,” as Ecclesiastes reminds us.

Some excerpts from my address: ● Not knowing how to solve a problem is forgivable. You would expect our representatives to press on until they find a solution.

Knowing how to solve a problem, but refusing to solve it because you would rather have the issue run on than to offer a solution that benefits the country, is more obscene to my mind than receiving a tweet from Anthony Weiner. ● Quoting Coolidge: “There is no salvation in a narrow and bigoted partisanship. But if there is to be responsible party government, the

party label must be something more than a mere device for securing office. Unless those who are elected under the same party designation are willing to assume sufficient responsibility and exhibit sufficient loyalty and coherence, so that they can cooperate with each other in the support of the broad general principles, of the party platform, the election is merely a mockery, no decision is made at the polls, and there is no representation of the popular will.”

The election last November was an expression of the popular will. It was a repudiation of the direction in which President Obama and congressional Democrats are taking the country.

Instead of moderating their farleft views, Democrats have doubled down and are behaving as if liberalism is on the rise rather than on the decline. The attitude of these elected dictators seems to be “the public be damned.”

President Obama talks about “shared sacrifice,” but why should people who are not responsible for the deficit pay more to irresponsible politicians who can’t live within the means we provide them? Let them “sacrifice” by cutting spending. Tax-

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Don’t count out Quinn

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas’ other pro on rise Gary Woodland is the only former Kansas University golfer this season to win a PGA Tour event, finish in the top 30 in all three major golf tournaments and amass more than $2 million in earnings, but not the only one whose game has taken a big step forward.

Quietly, Chris Thompson has had a big year playing in professional mini-tour events, with a victory, a third-place tie and two fourth-place finishes. He has earned $61,000 and counting.

Thompson, who resides in Lawrence, collected $35,000 for winning the Columbia Open in Blythewood, S.C., in April.

Watching Woodland’s career take off after he moved to an Orlando, Fla., neighborhood packed with PGA Tour pros hasn’t led Thompson to consider moving.

“Gary is so talented I think he would have had success no matter where he lived,” Thompson said. “More importantly for him, he’s got a good swing coach and a good short-game coach, and he’s improved his putting. He’s got a lot of talent.”

Thompson, 35, did take a lead from Woodland, 27.

“Instead of relocating, I tried to kind of go his route and get instruction from a different guy from where I got instruction in the past,” he said.

Thompson twice has flown to Las Vegas to get feedback from Greg Labelle of the Butch Harmon School of Golf. Via his blackberry, Thompson also has sent Labelle videos of various swings.

“He’s helped me out tremendously,” Thompson said. “For two or three months this year, I feel like I’ve been playing as well as I’ve played in my life.”

Thompson played on the Nationwide Tour, the next step down from the PGA Tour, in 2007 and 2008.

“I’m playing better now,” Thompson said. “I’d give anything to go back and play with as much confidence as I have now both in ball striking and putting.”

Thompson never has played in a PGA Tour event, but came the closest he ever has this summer, when he came within one stroke of qualifying for the Byron Nelson Classic.

Thompson, who will play in a mini-tour event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, this weekend, will attempt to qualify for the Midwest Classic, a Nationwide event at LionsGate in Overland Park. The qualifier will be Aug. 15 at both Alvamar courses. An estimated 150 golfers will vie for seven spots.

“I’ll probably play the private,” Thompson said. “The public’s pretty straight-forward.

The private has a few tricky holes. I’ve played it enough I can kind of maneuver my way around the trickier holes better than someone who hasn’t played it.”

He guessed it will take a 66 on the public and 67 on the private to qualify.

Thompson didn’t earn money for setting the Lawrence Country Club course record on April 3, 2009, from the 6,510-yard back tees. His score card, framed in the pro shop, reads: 424 433 244 334 434 433, or 3031—61. Nine birdies. Nine pars.

He didn’t go more than two holes without a birdie until holes 14 through 16.

As a professional, Thompson isn’t eligible to play in the Lawrence Amateur Golf Association’s City Tournament, scheduled for Eagle Bend on Saturday and LCC on Sunday.

Neither is anyone else who doesn’t sign up by 6 p.m. today at Golf USA.

Mecham worked hard in offseason to improve arm strength, mobility

By Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

In six games last season, Kansas University quarterback Quinn Mecham was good but not great, solid but not spectacular, and still managed to set a school record for consecutive pass completions (19) and lead the greatest comeback in KU history.

While his performance in KU’s 52-45 victory over Colorado in Week 9 of the 2010 season offered a glimpse of his ideal style, KU offensive coordinator Chuck Long said it might not be a good idea to paint Mecham solely as a game manager.

“I’d say this,” Long said.

“Be careful about doubting Quinn. Because the guy will come out and do something great right before your eyes.”

Never was that more evident than in the victory against Colorado, in which KU trailed 45-17 early in the fourth quarter.

In that one, Mecham completed 23 of 28 passes — including the final 17 he threw — for 252 yards and two touchdowns while leading Kansas to 35 fourth-quarter points in just his second career start. Most of his success came on short

Duffy answers call for K.C. ————

Omaha call-up pitches Royals past White Sox, 4-2, to end skid KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Danny Duffy sat in the Kansas City clubhouse before Tuesday night’s game against the White Sox and listened to manager Ned Yost challenge his struggling ball club.

The gist of Yost’s speech was that being 20 games under .500 was simply unacceptable. Small errors were leading to big innings, and the young Royals hadn’t been able to atone for them. Yost needed someone to step up and put together the kind of performance that could give the entire team a significant lift.

Duffy took that talk to heart.

The 22-year-old left-hander went seven stellar innings in his

return from Triple-A Omaha, keeping Kansas City in the game long enough for Matt Treanor to deliver a go-ahead two-run single in the sixth inning. The Royals went on to defeat Chicago, 42, and end a frustrating threegame slide.

“I was really affected by what he said,” said Duffy, who was sent to Omaha during the All-Star break to pitch on regular rest.

“We’re playing for more than just this team. We’re playing for the fans.”

Melky Cabrera homered, and Alcides Escobar drove in the other run for Kansas City, which came into the game batting .196 while scoring eight total runs

during its skid. But with Duffy (24) out-pitching former Cy Young winner Jake Peavy (4-4), that meager offensive output proved to be just enough.

“He pitched a fantastic game right from the get-go. He was after it all night long,” Yost said.

“He did a great job of changing speed, utilizing his curveball effectively and did a nice job of keeping them off balance.”

Duffy hit the first batter he faced, walked the second on four Ed Zurga/AP Photo pitches and allowed both to score. But he settled down after KANSAS CITY SECOND BASEMAN CHRIS GETZ that shaky start and mowed (17) throws to first past Chicago’s Alexei through a lineup that White Sox Ramirez to complete a double play.

Sources: NFL players review parts of deal

By Howard Fendrich and Barry Wilner Associated Press Writers

The NFL Players Association’s executive committee reviewed only portions of a proposed deal to end the lockout and not enough to warrant a vote Tuesday, two people familiar with the league’s labor negotiations told the Associated Press.

A full agreement in principle hadn’t been completed as of Tuesday night, and another person familiar with the talks said there was no guarantee a full document would be finished today, either.

The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the process is supposed to remain confidential.

worked on contract language in New York with a court-appointed mediator for the second day in a row, the NFLPA’s leadership met for about nine hours at the group’s headquarters in Washington.

“Every day the last two years has been a long day,” NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith said as he left.

If the four-month lockout — the

NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987 — is going to end this week, in time to keep the preseason completely intact, the best-case scenario is that the players OK a new contract today, and the owners do so the next day.

Player representatives from all 32 teams were expected in Washington today — when they could vote, if a settlement is ready for their consideration.

HE’S NO. 1

By Monte Poole The Oakland Tribune

When idiots of yore tossed slurs and epithets at sporting events, they had the sorry excuse of living in an America where segregation not only was common but also legislated.

Impolite folks too ignorant to know better and too lazy to learn routinely wrapped themselves in bigotry, sparing no one, as was discovered by Jewish slugger Hank Greenberg and black pioneer Jackie Robinson.

That was the 1930s and ’40s and ’50s, when many were denied civil rights and voting rights and the system was contaminated with the poisons of prejudice.

What’s the excuse now that we’re supposed to be so much more evolved?

Hatred within the sports community isn’t gone; it simply has a popular new target. Instead of ethnicity, it’s sexuality.

With the K-word extinct and the N-word rarely uttered with malice, the new undisputed champion of epithets is the F-word.

Not the four-letter bomb but the homophobic insult comprising six letters.

Pro athletes, many of them among our biggest stars, are in the midst of a staggering run of name-calling, dropping F-words as casually as if ordering a burger and fries. Less than three weeks into July, at least three jocks are vying for Sports Jackass of the Month.

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end James Harrison, a hair-trigger shotgun of a man interviewed for a magazine article, included the F-word in his verbal evisceration of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Oakland A’s farmhand Ian Krol, pitching in Arizona while recovering from an arm injury, tweeted the F-word presumably describing some, but not all, male students at Arizona State University.

White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham is a distant third in this race because he avoided the F-word. He merely scribbled in the infield dirt “Getz is gay!

GB” and left it to be discovered by Royals second baseman Chris Getz.

Insofar as Beckham and Getz are friends, there is no reason to presume malicious intent. No, it was just a tasteless “joke.” All three have since offered apologies. That, however, misses the point.

Each evidently failed to understand — or simply didn’t care about — the impact of his words and actions.

When Kobe Bryant slapped a referee with the F-word in April, the NBA slapped back, fining the Lakers star $100,000.

When Bulls center Joakim Noah slung the F-word at a heckling fan, the league tossed a $50,000 fine into his lap.

Pejoratives have been around from the instant man noticed differences in the way people look, think, behave, walk and talk.

It appears we have stumbled onto a trend, public displays of hatred expressed by casual usage of the F-word.

There also are differences, too, in the way people view sexuality. There are those who actually believe California Gov. Jerry Brown, by signing Senate Bill 48 — essentially prohibiting discrimination in education — is promoting the teaching of “gay history.” This ignores the fundamental truth, that gays, like everyone else, are intertwined with history because they, like everyone else, have been present throughout history.

But with public racism driven underground and the N-word reduced to a whisper or dialogue among bigots, homophobia has become the new racism. Contempt once reserved for ethnic minorities and Jews has descended on homosexuality, and the subject ignites overheated debate in the political arena, the church and the locker room.

And we like to think of sports as an island of tolerance. Greenberg and Robinson eventually were accepted. The majority of our sports come in a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and colors.

That’s why sports should, once again, take the lead in pulling society’s foot-draggers toward greater tolerance.

RYDER HESJEDAL OF CANADA, RIGHT, CLENCHES HIS FIST as teammate Thor Hushovd of Norway, center, crosses the finish line to win the 16th stage of the Tour de France over 101 miles starting in Saint Paul Trois Chateaux and finishing in Gap, southern France, on Tuesday. Left is Edvald Boasson Hagen of Norway, who took second place.

Contador back in action at Tour’s Stage 16 GAP, FRANCE — Alberto Contador has finally put the hammer down at the Tour de France — and now, the race is really on.

Minutes behind the race leader, the defending champion surprised key rivals with a brazen attack on a relatively easy climb in the Alpine foothills in Tuesday’s Stage 16, won by Thor Hushovd of Norway in a breakaway.

Contador, baring his teeth as his tires sizzled on the rain-slick roads, surged out of the pack on the mid-grade Col de Magne climb, and held on through a treacherous downhill to the finish of the 101-mile ride from Saint-PaulTrois-Chateaux to Gap. “I knew I needed to attack,” Contador said.

“I couldn’t care less if someone kept on my wheel — I knew one of them would fail. I’m so happy. It has been a major gap, much bigger than I expected.”

The unexpected surge by the Spaniard shook up the leaderboard at cycling’s greatest race, which ends Sunday in Paris after a jaunt today into Italy, then two days in the Alps, and a time-trial Saturday in Grenoble.

NBA 2011-2012 schedule released NEW YORK — The NBA champion Dallas Mavericks will open the season — if it begins on time — at home on Nov. 1 against MVP Derrick Rose and Chicago, then host Miami in a finals rematch Christmas Day. The NBA released its complete 2011-12 schedule Tuesday despite being in a lockout that could last months and cause it to be scrapped.

Owners and players are still well apart in negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement to replace the one that expired June 30, and there is a fear that regular-season games could be lost to a work stoppage for the second time in league history.

If not, Utah will host Houston in the Rockets’ first game under Kevin McHale and without Yao Ming, and Oklahoma City will visit new coach Mike Brown and the Lakers to conclude the opening-night schedule.

Most teams begin Nov. 2, with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh starting their second season together on the Heat and facing a Knicks team led by Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire.

when discussing the NBA finals and how Dallas was able to beat Miami for the title.

“LeBron James is taking a lot of criticism, but I know LeBron very well. He hears everything that everyone is saying, so I think he’s going to come back and have an MVP year this year.”

After the discussion turned to O’Neal’s health and his decision to retire, the talk was steered back to his “Big 2” comment.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS NCAA gives LSU 1-year probation BATON ROUGE, LA. — LSU committed major violations while recruiting a junior college football player, but won’t be slapped with any postseason bans or future scholarship reductions, the NCAA ruled Tuesday. The governing body decided to place the school on probation for a year and cited a former assistant coach for unethical conduct.

The investigation found that ex-assistant coach D.J. McCarthy improperly arranged for transportation and housing for former defensive lineman Akiem Hicks in 2009, then later tried to cover up those actions.

The NCAA accepted LSU’s self-imposed reduction of two scholarships during the 2010-11 academic year, as well as a 10 percent reduction in official visits and reductions in recruiting calls. LSU already had begun reducing official visits during 2010-11, but the NCAA expanded the punishment to include 2011-12.

McCarthy resigned in December 2009.

Hicks never played for the Tigers before he left LSU.

MLB Rangers plan to raise railings ARLINGTON, TEXAS — The Texas Rangers plan to make all the protective railings at their stadium the same height, raising some as much as a foot to make their stadium safer following the death of a fan during a recent game.

Rangers executive vice president Rob Matwick said Tuesday that the team’s intention is for all rails in the front of seating sections to be 42 inches throughout Rangers Ballpark.

NBA Shaq: ‘Big 2’ will lead Miami

BASEBALL Royals farm club gets no-no — again

MIAMI — Shaquille O’Neal’s debut as a fullfledged NBA analyst had him raving about LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

As for Chris Bosh?

Apparently, Shaq’s not a big fan of his work.

During NBA TV’s show Tuesday to announce the league’s schedule for the 2011-12 season — one jeopardized by a lockout — O’Neal referred to the Heat as having a “Big 2.” Since O’Neal Bosh, Wade and James teamed up in Miami, they’ve been called the “Big 3” in many circles.

“The Miami Heat, they’ve got a lot of great players, the ‘Big 2.’ They will be back,” O’Neal said from Louisiana during the broadcast,

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARK. — One night after Luis Mendoza tossed a no-hitter for the Kansas City Royals’ Triple-A affiliate, Will Smith and Kelvin Herrera combined to do the same for their Double-A team.

Smith went the first seven innings in Northwest Arkansas’ 1-0 victory over Arkansas on Tuesday night. He even got some help from the first triple play in club history in the sixth inning. Herrera then pitched the final two innings to preserve the team’s first no-hitter.

Mendoza’s performance Monday night came in Omaha’s 4-0 win at Memphis.

The official scorer in that game wavered on an error call, at one point changing it to a hit.

It was ultimately changed back to an error after the game, giving Mendoza his second minor league no-hitter.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

Soccer surging in K.C. K A N S A S C I T Y , K AN . ( AP ) — Davy Arnaud remembers gazing into the stands at Arrowhead Stadium on a crisp March day and nearly being able to count the number of fans.

The midfielder was playing for the Major League Soccer club in Kansas City against Costa Rican club Deportivo Saprissa. It was a quarterfinal of the CONCACAF Champions League, and Arnaud estimates there were about 400 people that day — which means nearly 80,000 empty seats were staring right back at him.

“I’ve seen it in a lot different times, for sure,” Arnaud said with a smile.

Fast forward six years, and Arnaud’s place on the team is about all that’s remained the same.

The club has changed its name from the Kansas City Wizards to Sporting Kansas City, a rebranding this season designed to forge a new identity while emulating its European counterparts. The team practices in a plush facility in Kansas City, Mo., and its home games are played in Livestrong Sporting Park, a $200 million stadium on the Kansas side of the state line that opened last month to rave reviews.

Just about every game at the soccer-specific stadium has been close to a sellout, a far cry from when their games were played at the home of the NFL’s Chiefs. Local television ratings are booming, sponsors are coming on board and the club is becoming a fixture on talk radio shows.

“There’s no doubt in my

started with the Phenom AAU program as a favor to his cousin, whose daughter’s team needed a coach.

“At the end of the day, I think it’s basketball,” Nooner said. “Of course, athletically is the biggest difference — the athleticism and size of players. Girls players are getting taller, bigger and faster every day. Since I’ve been coaching, at tournaments I’ve seen girls dunk and all that kind of stuff.

I think from boys to girls or women to men ... in my experience the women listen a little bit better, take instruction a little bit better as far as the people I’ve dealt with.”

Nooner says he thinks he’ll be a good recruiter. He enjoyed being on the road for the first eight days of the July evaluation period — except for the fact he couldn’t speak with any of his former Missouri Phenom players in attendance in accordance with NCAA rules.

routes and quick throws, as the KU coaching staff dialed up a game plan that suited Mecham’s strengths.

In that game, it worked. For much of the rest of the season, below-average arm strength and lack of mobility limited Mecham’s effectiveness.

With that in mind, the senior from Provo, Utah, hit the offseason determined to get bigger, stronger and faster.

“Quinn has worked hard on his development, physically, and it’s improved,” Long said.

“He had a much stronger arm in the spring, and I know he’s gonna continue to do that in the summer and into the fall.

He was throwing the long ball a lot better.”

Long also said Mecham’s mind — without question his biggest strength — began to process the game even faster than it already had.

Though there has been talk of Mecham’s improvement, the result did not show up on the biggest stage of the offseason.

Mecham completed six of 11 passes for 102 yards and a TD while being sacked four times during the spring game in April. Had it not been for an acrobatic catch between two defenders by Christian Matthews on a 53-yard TD,

The success on the business front has translated to the pitch, where Sporting Kansas City is riding an 11match unbeaten streak against MLS teams. Omar Bravo and Matt Besler were recently selected as All-Stars, and Brazilian standout Jeferson arrived this week from Brazil as only the third designated player in club history.

He’s expected to debut tonight when Sporting plays a friendly against Premier League club Newcastle United, which has embarked on a preseason tour of the United States.

“I feel very fortunate to be in Kansas City, where the infrastructure is laid out for you,” said Jeferson, who had offers to play for other clubs in other countries but chose Sporting in part because of the facilities. “Myself and many other players in Brazil don’t have that available to us.”

After averaging 10,287 fans for 15 home dates last season, when games were played in the cramped confines of a nearby minor league baseball stadium, Sporting Kansas City has averaged 18, 107 through the first five games in its new digs. And for the first time since 2004 — and the second time ever — the club is averaging more fans for its home games than for those played on the road.

“I saw my old team play in Vegas. I saw them play in Nashville. I had to sit over there and watch as a college coach as opposed to being their coach,” Nooner said.

“You can’t have any contact with the players. It was just looking. A lot of times it was tough, especially if they did stuff I wouldn’t have approved of.”

SIU’s team went through a tough 2-28 season a year ago.

Nooner sees better times ahead for the Missouri Valley school located in Carbondale, Ill. “We have a top-rated recruiting class coming in. We have one senior and one junior, six freshmen and six sophomores. We are young with a lot of new talent,” Nooner said. “I expect big things from our team.

“I’m not used to losing like that. I’m used to losing two and winning the rest of the games,” he added with a laugh. “I’m expecting big things.”

As to a timetable for his becoming a head coach, “I have no idea,” Nooner said.

“I’ve not put a time on it. I’m

just going to get in here and work my butt off and go from there.”

Tribute Nooner spoke with former KU assistant coach Neil Dougherty the day Nooner was hired. Neil died July 5 while jogging in Indianapolis.

“He gave me a good pep speech,” Nooner said. “I told him after getting the job I was kind of nervous — excited, but nervous. He let me know to not be nervous and work hard, that I’m ready and that kind of stuff.

“It was tough,” Nooner said about Dougherty’s death, “just the type of man he was and the way we connected with him. He has the ability still after all this time to be part of our lives. He’s somebody we can call and talk to about anything. He’s there to help you out. To have that kind of relationship with somebody — especially me.

It’s not like I was one of the stars of the team. For him to still be willing to help and give me advice even after I graduated in 2000 is a testament to what type of man he was.”

Mecham’s numbers would have been less impressive.

Again, Long cautioned reading too much into Mecham’s performance during one scrimmage in April.

“The thing with quarterbacks in the spring game is, they’re going in with all the players,” Long said. “They’re throwing and catching with all the guys, young and old, and everyone’s trying to kind of find their way. I don’t think Quinn really had a good spring game last year, but he ended up having the game of his life against Colorado. The thing about Quinn is, he just works through it. He’ll keep working until he gets it right.”

That’s what gives Long confidence about putting the ball in Mecham’s hands, should that become necessary, during 2011.

Mecham is battling with sophomore Jordan Webb and freshmen Michael Cummings and Brock Berglund for the right to be KU’s starter this fall. To this point, the competition has been mostly about individual improvement.

Once preseason camp opens Aug. 3, Long expects things to heat up.

“Once they get through the summer and get into training camp and work with the same receivers, it becomes a little different deal,” he said. “A lot can happen between the spring game and the regular season.”

Mangino kicks off camp Former KU coach Mark Mangino was one of the featured guests at an NFL High School Player Development Camp in Immokalee, Fla., earlier this week. Mangino, who spent eight seasons at Kansas, kicked off the camp Monday night with a speech that not only talked about the fundamentals of the game but also emphasized the importance of strong character.

After resigning at the end of the 2009 season, Mangino, 54, and his wife, Mary Jane, moved to Naples, Fla., and have maintained a low profile.

During the past 18 months, Mangino has dabbled in the football world via consulting.

He’s been invited to several college campuses to talk offense and even spent time working with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In an interview with the Naples Daily News, Mangino told Adam Fisher that he would be interested in returning to football as a head coach as long as the situation was right, but added that he was in no hurry to do so.

“Naples is a beautiful place,” Mangino told Fisher.

“My wife and I couldn’t have picked a better spot to buy a place and just relax for a little bit. We really like it here. No matter what the future brings, I think we will always have a place here in Naples.”

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

manager Ozzie Guillen stacked with right-handed hitters for the express purpose of facing the left-handed rookie.

Duffy needed 64 pitches to get through the first three innings — and 30 total over the next four. He allowed five hits and two walks while striking out six, matching the longest start of his blossoming big league career.

“This kid threw strikes. He was good,” Guillen said. “He threw the ball very well. He threw more strikes after the first inning and got more confidence. He’s got a good arm.”

Greg Holland pitched a perfect eighth inning for Kansas City, and Joakim Soria worked around a single in the ninth for his 10th consecutive save and 17th of the season.

Peavy wound up taking the loss in what was still an encouraging performance.

The two-time All-Star had allowed 14 earned runs in 16 13 innings over his last three starts, two of them losses and one against Kansas City.

Peavy had said he’s been slow to bounce back after surgery about a year ago to repair a torn muscle under his right shoulder, but his command seemed to return against a struggling Royals lineup that has failed to score more than four runs each of its last seven games.

“Everything was a little bit more crisp,” Peavy said. “I didn’t have great stuff, but I had plenty enough stuff to compete. There’s a lot more positive out of this start than there has been the previous three.”

Carlos Quentin and Alex Rios hit consecutive RBI singles in the first to stake Peavy to a 2-0 lead. His only blemish until the sixth inning came when Royals rookie Eric Hosmer singled in the second, Treanor hit a double and Escobar grounded out to drive home a run.

Peavy set the Royals down in order in the fourth and fifth before finally cracking.

Billy Butler singled with one out in the sixth and Jeff Francoeur doubled into the left-field corner to put runners on second and third.

After a visit to the mound, Peavy intentionally walked Hosmer to load the bases for Treanor, who came through with a single up the middle to give Kansas City a 3-2 lead.

Cabrera’s two-out homer in the seventh gave the bullpen a bit of breathing room.

Pirates shut out Reds again The Associated Press

Pirates 1, Reds 0 P I T T S B U R G H — James McDonald and three relievers combined on a six-hitter Tuesday to help Pittsburgh shut out Cincinnati for the second straight night.

McDonald (6-4) won for the first time in five starts, pitching effectively into the seventh inning before getting bailed out of a bases-loaded jam by Joe Beimel and Chris Resop.

Joel Hanrahan worked the ninth for his 28th save.

Mets 4, Cardinals 2 NEW YORK — Mets shortstop Jose Reyes made a huge impact in the field in his return from a hamstring injury, turning a difficult double play with the bases loaded in the eighth inning after making a diving stop that saved a run.

Fellow All-Star Carlos Beltran also was back in the Mets’ lineup after missing three games due to a high fever. He hit two doubles, singled, walked twice and scored a run for New York, all while still congested.

Blue Jays 6, Mariners 5, 14 innings TORONTO — Rajai Davis stole two bases before scoring on John McDonald’s sacrifice fly in the 14th inning, and Toronto extended Seattle’s losing streak to 10 games.

Davis hit a one-out single off Jamey Wright (2-3) in the 14th and stole second and third before scoring on McDonald’s fly to center.

Activated from the disabled list before the game, Casey Janssen (3-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the win.

Support 4-H with fair fare purchases Q:

I missed out on the 4-H Food Sale held during the Douglas County Fair last year. When is it?

Cooking Q&A

A:

The 4-H and Open Class Food Sale begins 2 p.m.-7 p.m.

Aug. 2 in Building 21 North on the fairgrounds. It wraps up from 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 3. This is a great opportunity to buy some wonderful home-baked food items and benefit the 4-H program at the same time.

And don’t forget to stop by the 4-H Food Stand (located on the east side of Building 21) to buy a slice of homemade pie from the President’s Pie Baking Contest that took place earlier that morning. (Anyone can enter baked fruit or pecan pies 7:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m. Aug. 2-6 in the Dreher Building.

Following the judging, the pies are donated to the 4-H Food Stand.)

Speaking of the fair and food, it’s important to have a safe eating experience when you’re here. Because foodborne illnesses increase during the summer, it is even more important to follow food safety steps. Many foodborne illnesses are caused by consuming foods or beverages contaminated with germs. One reason for the increase of foodborne illnesses in the summertime is that people are cooking and eating outside at places such as fairs and festivals more often. Sometimes, the usual safety controls that a kitchen provides, like thermostat-controlled cooking, refrigeration and washing facilities, may not be available when cooking and dining at these events.

Remember that food safety practices should be the

Susan Krumm skrumm@oznet.ksu.edu

same at fairs as they are at home.

Follow these basic food safety rules when cooking or eating fair foods: ● Clean your hands with soap and warm water before handling food. Find out where hand-washing stations are located at the fair.

Always wash your hands right after petting animals, touching the animal enclosure and exiting animal areas even if you did not touch an animal. Always wash hands after using the restroom, after playing a game or going on a ride, before eating and drinking, before preparing food or drinks, after changing diapers and after removing soiled clothes or shoes.

Bring hand sanitizers or disposable wipes in case there aren't any places to wash your hands. ● Separate cooked foods from ready-to-eat foods. Do not use utensils on cooked foods that were previously used on raw foods, and do not place cooked foods on plates where raw foods once were unless it has been cleaned thoroughly. ● Cook foods to a safe internal temperature. Use a meat thermometer to make sure foods are cooked to a safe temperature. Color is not an indicator of doneness. ● Chill foods promptly

after serving and when transporting from one place to another. Keep refrigeration at 40 degrees or below.

Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.

Q: What should a consumer consider before buying food from a vendor?

A: Ask yourself these questions: 1. Does the vendor have a clean/tidy workstation?

2. Does the vendor have a sink for employees to wash their hands, and is the vendor using it regularly?

3. Are the employees wearing gloves or using tongs when handling food?

4. Does the vendor have refrigeration on-site for raw ingredients or pre-cooked foods?

Also, since many families are involved in many fair activities all week long, they are often interested in some healthy food options as well.

If you bring food to the fair from home, be sure to keep food handling and storage times in mind. Don't let food sit out for more than two hours. On a hot day (90 degrees or higher), reduce this time to one hour. Be sure to put perishable items in a cooler or insulated bag.

For budget-minded folks, eat before you go to the fair.

Q: Did I read somewhere that I don’t have to cook pork as long as I used to?

A: Yes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has lowered the cooking temperature for pork steaks, roasts, chops and all whole cuts of meat to 145 degrees. This is measured with a food thermometer in the thickest part of the meat and then the meat must rest for three minutes before consuming.

Ground pork, as well as

School lunch tips: Keep it cool

By Michelle Locke For The Associated Press

When it comes to lunch box safety, you can’t be too cool for school.

“One of the most important guidelines for keeping it safe is just keeping it cold,” says Christine Bruhn, director of the Center for Consumer Research at the University of CaliforniaDavis.

Safe lunches begin with safe shopping and home storage. In other words, perishable foods intended for lunches — such as raw or cooked meat and poultry — should be kept cold or frozen at the store and at home. And don’t leave food out at room temperature for more than two hours, one hour if the temperature is over 90.

When it comes to packing lunch, it’s a good idea to do it the night before. This not only gives you a bit more time during the morning rush, it also allows perishable food plenty of time to chill.

Aviva Goldfarb, author of the “The Six O’Clock Scramble” cookbook, packs lunches while making or cleaning up from dinner. She recommends doing the nonperishable items such as crackers and cookies during the weekend to make things that much easier.

If sliced lunch meats are on the menu, it’s a good idea to check the sell-by date before purchasing, and then use up the meat within about three to five days of purchase, says Bruhn. (And, of course, you’ll be keeping the meat tightly wrapped and in the fridge in the meantime.)

But how can you be sure your lovingly prepared lunch will stay cool?

One way to go is with an insulated lunch box, a frozen gel pack and thermoses. You might also want to talk to your child about the importance of keeping the lunch somewhere shaded and cool during the day — not in the sun or next to a radiator.

If bringing gel packs to and from school isn’t practical, you can slip a frozen juice box — make sure it’s labeled as 100 percent juice, of course — into a lunch box or sack lunch. By the time lunch rolls around, the juice should be thawed enough to drink, but

INSULATED LUNCH BAG, JUICE BOX, APPLE AND GEL PACK the food should still be cool.

To keep hot foods hot, a thermos is required. You’ll get the most out of your thermos if you fill it with boiling water and let it stand for a few minutes before emptying it and putting in the hot soup, chili, etc.

Less demanding foods include whole fruits and vegetables, hard cheese, and the old standby of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

(Though you will need to check with school officials to make sure there isn’t a ban on peanut butter due to nut allergy concerns.)

String cheese is a good traveler that’s popular with children and also is a source of calcium.

Fresh fruits such as apples or oranges are a good choice.

For more tender fruit like peaches, you may be better off sending fruit that’s been canned with no added sugar.

Grapes are good, too, as are carrots and celery. Grapes

travel best when packed in a rigid container.

To make the process as smooth as possible, Goldfarb, whose website focuses on time-saving ways to feed your family, suggests brainstorming with your children before the school year starts to see what kind of things they’d like for lunch.

Some suggestions: ● Tuna or chicken or egg salad with whole-grain crackers ● Whole-grain bagel or rice cakes with natural peanut butter or cream cheese ● Popcorn alone or mixed with raisins and nuts ● Low-fat yogurt with fresh fruit and granola or other cereal (keep them separate and let your child combine them at lunch) ● Baby carrots, celery, sliced cucumbers, red bell peppers and pita chips with hummus, peanut butter or other dip.

ground beef, veal, lamb must be cooked to 160 degrees.

These do not require a rest time. This change helps consumers to remember only three numbers for safe cooking temperatures of meat.

They are: ● 145 degrees — whole meats ● 160 degrees — ground meats ● 165 degrees — all poultry The three-minute rest time allows the temperature to remain constant or continue to rise, which helps destroy pathogens. The meat may still have a pink internal color, but will be safe to eat.

Always determine meat doneness with a food thermometer, not by color.

SUMMER WEATHER MEXICAN BOWL

BYE BYE BOUNTY

Cashew cheese works well in Summer Weather Mexican Bowl

By Sarah Henning

Editor’s note: Bye Bye Bounty runs regularly in Lawrence.com.

OK, so, a confession. I love cheese, it just doesn’t love me.

It’s a sad state of affairs that has included a lot of back and forth over the years, but right now it’s safe to say that though I pine for goat cheese, eating it is a nasty proposition. My stomach freaks out, and it’s just a nightmare to get it to calm back down.

So, no, I won’t die if I have cheese. I don’t have an allergy.

It just hasn’t liked me ever since the little one came along.

GRRR. But that’s not a problem, because after a while, it’s true that you don’t miss it. Don’t crave it. Don’t really think much about it unless your husband is digging into some ooey-gooey, hot and melty pizza right next to you (sigh). But, truth be told, it’s worth it to grit my teeth and deal.

Thus, I’ve become pretty good at making my own “cheese,” thanks to the “Stir-Well to Heaven” cookbook from Sandi CorderClootz, the executive chef of my longtime favorite restaurant, Eden Alley Cafe. I love making her “Mexican” cashew cheese — it’s quick, easy, tasty, cheap and is actually really good on pizza with the cheese scraped off (Yes, the hubby gets double the cheese — lucky him).

Fork CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8B

six leaves of basil into a lacy chiffonade.

All of this into a bowl and then I poured in two tablespoons of local honey, a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and a tablespoon of olive oil. A pinch of kosher salt, and a bit of cracked pepper and we were in business.

I made this the night before we left, because a little marinating can only make it better.

HONEYED SWEET TOMATO BRUSCHETTA 2 cups sweet cherry tomatoes (pretty if some are yellow and some are red, but not necessary) 3/4 cup diced onion 1 cup diced fresh mozzarella cheese 6 large fresh basil leaves 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar Salt and pepper to taste

Normally I would cut up a baguette and toast it myself for the rounds on which to serve a bruschetta topping, but I was short on time and hey, Hy-Vee offers a fabulous fresh garlic bagel toasts that really makes the effort at home seem silly, so I picked up a clamshell of those beauties and was ready to roll, so to speak.

We’re hot, and brown, and home. Everyone will sleep well for the next few nights and I’ll be enjoying leftover bruschetta, among other sides, for dinner, which is an excellent side effect of this already fantastic weekend. Here’s to long weekends and hot summers and especially to cooling off.

— Read more of Megan Stuke’s Flying Fork at Lawrence.com.

But I hadn’t really had it on much besides pizza crust and sandwiches. So, when I got sweet corn last week from our CSA, and had a hankering for Mexican food, I thought I’d try my beloved cashew cheese on something a bit more involved than bread and crust.

The result is this dish that is one part salad, one part Mexican feast. It has the feeling of a taco salad without the heaviness. Plus, it’s super easy to make on a night when a toddler is at your legs begging you for MORE BLUEBERRIES NOW MOMMY. If you followed this blog last CSA season, you know I like to avoid turning on the oven at all costs in the summer (Heat, yuck!), so it should not surprise you that you can make this without heating anything up.

That is, of course, unless you want to have it with real honestto-god, gooey cheese. And if you don’t? I’m sharing Sandi’s cashew cheese recipe.

Yes, it sounds weird, but if you’re lactose shy and give it a try, you’ll not only be saving yourself some money over the stuff you buy at the store, you also may stand at the counter eating it by the spoonful like my son.

Um, yeah. He does that.

What’d we get in our bag this week? A huge onion, two cucumbers, kale, yellow squash, new potatoes, blackberries and a HUGE bag of basil.

SUMMER WEATHER MEXICAN BOWL 1 red, yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped 1/4 to 1/2 avocado, chopped 1 ear of raw sweet corn, corn removed and cob discarded 1-2 dollops of queso fresco, melty colby jack or Creamy Mexican Cashew Cheese (recipe is below) 1 squirt lime juice 1 squirt hot sauce (I use The Boulder Hot Sauce Company’s Smokey Serrano) Salsa, to taste (I use Green Mountain Gringo’s mild)

Mix all in a bowl and enjoy! Best eaten with a spoon. Serves 1.

the matter of Byczynski’s publication and Nagengast’s longtime position as the executive director of the Kansas Rural Center.

The only hitch would be that to run the company, Nagengast would have to leave the KRC, which he’s headed since 1992. It was a tough decision but one Nagengast decided had to be made at this point in his life.

As he says, 20 years is a long time to do anything, let alone be in a single job.

“If you do anything for 20 years, the surprises kind of go away,” says Nagengast, whose last day at the KRC was June 30. “I’m the sort of person who wants something new to do.”

By late June, the couple was well on its way to purchasing the company and hopped a plane to Italy to see the Franchi factory in Bergamo, just northeast of Milan.

What they saw made a huge impression — the Franchi family has been selling seeds since 1783 and specializes in heirloom seeds that are chosen for flavor rather than conventional growing and shipping methods.

“They’re not particularly grown for production. The beans, one of the Italian words I’ve learned is rampicante — rampant. There are beans that grow 15 feet long,” he says, laughing. “In this country, you want a bean you can run a machine over.

Some of these are really backyard garden kind of thing.”

Now set up in a sunny yellow office in the couple’s basement, Nagengast is racking seeds that have arrived on giant maritime pallets and shipping out orders that roll in through growitalian.com and the company’s catalog. A retooling of the website is also in the works, and the whole family is in the act from

Though the company has only been in the family’s hands for a few days, Lawrence growers have been able to try the product.

M.A.D. Farm, which grows vegetables on some of Wild Onion’s land, has been using the seeds for its CSA, and gardeners and small farmers have been able to buy the company’s seeds in town since late winter. While in talks to purchase the company, Nagengast spoke with Linda Cottin about test-driving the seeds at Cottin’s Hardware & Rental, 1832 Mass. Cottin, mother to M.A.D. Farm’s Cole Cottin, sprang for a small display — about 30 varieties. She says her customers noticed them right away and took to them because of their hard-to-find varieties, seed-saving capabilities (almost all are openpollanted) and value — the seed packets are much larger than average (5,000 basil seeds come in a single packet), with big, bold photos of the variety on the front.

“We have a couple of customers who actually have roots from Italy or who have visited Italy or are Italian cooks that were really excited about it,” she says. “We’ve also had a couple of customers come in and go, ‘Oh, that’s wonderful, I went to Italy and I smuggled home seeds, but now I don’t need to do that anymore.’”

Ham and cheese served with twist

By J.M. Hirsch

Butter or cooking spray Associated Press Writer

In a moment of vacation desperation, my son’s dream sandwich was born.

It was late. My son was hungry, tired and cranky. We’d just arrived at our rental apartment and there was virtually no food in the refrigerator.

All I could scrounge were a couple slices of whole-wheat bread, a bit of sliced ham and some cream cheese.

So I combined them into what was a surprise instant (and much lauded by the 6-year-old set) hit that went on to become my son’s new go-to sandwich.

Now that we’re back home, I decided to play with it a bit and see if I could up the nutrition. After all, if he’s going to eat this all the time, the bread shouldn’t be the peak of its nutritional profile.

So I added some baby spinach and oil-packed sundried tomatoes. Now it wasn’t just delicious, but also ever-soslightly more nutritious. The flavors also were significantly more sophisticated. Which meant I no longer minded indulging in one myself.

HAM AND CREAM CHEESE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES 2 ounces cream cheese 2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves 5 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and patted dry 3 slices deli-sliced ham Ground black pepper

Spread the cream cheese evenly over 1 side of each slice of bread. Top 1 slice with the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and ham. Season the ham with black pepper, then finish the sandwich with the remaining slice of bread, cream cheese side in.

Heat a small skillet over medium.

Add either a bit of butter or coat the pan with cooking spray. Add the sandwich and toast for 4 minutes on each side. Serve immediately, or let cool before wrapping in foil and adding to a packed lunch. Serves 1.

DAN NAGENGAST sorts seeds in his home office. For almost 20 years, Nagengast was the director of the Kansas Rural Center. Recently, he and his wife, Lynn Byczynski, bought Seeds from Italy, a company that sells Franchi seeds.

A taste of Italy

Former head of Kansas Rural Center buys seed business sarah@lawrence.com

The term “sowing seeds” can make a million metaphors in the business world, but Dan Nagengast and Lynn Byczynski are taking the term to new metaphorical and literal heights.

The husband-and-wife team have planted a new business right in the basement of their rural Lawrence home — Seeds from Italy.

As of July 15, Seeds from Italy is selling Franchi seeds in more than 500 varieties through a soon-to-be revamped website — www.growitalian.com — and displays set up in garden, hardware and specialty shops around the country.

The seed that grew into their new lives as agents for a sevengeneration Italian seed company was sown 10 years ago.

That’s when the company’s previous owner, Bill McKay, started advertising in “Growing for Market” — a publication for which Byczynski is editor and publisher.

“He just called me to renew his ad this year and just in the course of chatting with him, told me he was trying to sell his business. He was ready to retire,” Byczynski says. “And I don’t know, for some reason I just instantly knew it was going to be a good fit.”

[

Byczynski hung up and immediately called Nagengast, who was in New Orleans at a conference, and asked him to check out a Italian specialty shop in the French Quarter that had a display of Franchi seeds.

He did and was blown away by the seeds, which come in large, colorful packages and unusual varieties. The store only had a small amount, but the full catalog of 2,700 Franchi seeds reads like a botany book — dozens of regional types of beans, zucchinis, tomatoes, basils, chicories and on and on.

The second he left the store, Nagengast knew exactly what kind of opportunity his family had fallen into. The chance to sell quality, mostly heirloom seeds at a time when home gardening and interest in food quality have become incredibly popular in this country seemed like a something not to be passed up.

“Italian cuisine is almost a brand,” he says. “Italian restaurants have been around forever, but the whole slow food movement and the Mediterranean diet, all those sorts of things have really come together to make this kind of interesting moment for these kinds of foods.”

Not to mention it was a chance to combine several of Please see SEEDS, page 7B

We also bring loads of snacks and sides for continuous daily munching. My sister made two vats of Chex mix, and I made a couple of quick snacks to go with the lunchtime sandwich fixins.

I had a bunch of sweet cherry tomatoes and rather than just bring them plain for popping, which isn’t a bad option in itself, I decided to make a sweet and savory bruschetta, and I started rummaging through the refrigerator for possible ingredients. I wanted to highlight the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes, and I also wanted to use fresh herbs from my pretty little herb garden.

To begin, I cut the tomatoes into small chunks — fourths, or maybe sixths for the larger ones.

I also had a couple of balls of fresh mozzarella, some fresh garlic and an onion. And I had plenty of leaves of fresh basil. It was coming together.

I minced two cloves of garlic, diced the mozzarella and half an onion into small pieces, and cut

A minor orgy of conspicuous consumption and product placement, "Hollywood Hi-Tech" (8:30 p.m., DIY) goes to the already swank homes of Hollywood stars and outfits them with expensive gadgetry.

Janna Robinson hosts. As on "Let's Make a Deal," we're shown the price of everything.

Over the course of its run, Robinson will renovate the homes of Oliver Stone, Patrick Warburton and Nancy O'Dell.

First up: A man-cave becomes an entertainment center for Kevin Connolly ("Entourage"). Products include a 110-inch projection screen TV and a sound system requiring a subwoofer that engulfs an entire wall. Does the man have neighbors?

True to his "Entourage" character, Connolly can't wait to give the eye-popping theater a whirl. So what does he watch? A big-screen epic like "Lawrence of Arabia"? "Lord of the Rings"? Does he plug his fellow HBO show "Game of Thrones"?

That'll certainly rumble the subwoofers! No, he turns on a hockey game. ● Another thing Connolly might watch on his mind-numbing system is "Deadliest Warrior" (9 p.m., Spike). Now in its third season, "Deadliest" uses computer graphics to speculate on the outcome of battles between fighters from history and legend. ● And should Connolly flounder post"Entourage," lose his lease, be forced to put his fancy home theater in storage and then forget to make the payments, it could turn up on "Storage Wars" (9 p.m., A&E), where fortune-hunters bid on the unseen contents of storage facilities.

Sometimes they end up with treasures and just as often nothing but trash. It's like Secret Santa in reverse, if your idea of Christmas is preying on the down-and-out for fun and profit. ● Music biographies abound. "Behind the Music" (9 p.m., VH1) profiles hip-hop star Nelly, from his rather humble beginnings and unstructured family life to his stint in a group called the St. Lunatics and his breakout release "Country Grammar," which sold close to 10 million copies.

Filled with period footage, "Led Zeppelin: Dazed and Confused" (9 p.m., Bio) chronicles one of the most notable bands of the classic-rock era.

Further down the musical food chain, the 2010 documentary "Lemmy" (7 p.m., VH1CL) celebrates Lemmy Kilmister, the eccentric member of Motorhead and a friend and contemporary of Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles, who would prove to be an enduring influence on punk, alternative and metal music.

Tonight’s other highlights ● The top 10 perform on "So You Think You Can Dance" (7 p.m., Fox). ● A search for a lost city of gold on "Secrets of the Dead" (7 p.m., PBS). ● "America's Got Talent" (8 p.m., NBC) continues. ● An ex-con seeks redemption on "Royal Pains" (8 p.m., USA). ● Temperatures rise on "Love in the Wild" (9 p.m., NBC). ● Scheduled on "Primetime Nightline" (9 p.m., ABC): tales of demonic possession. ● A rookie consistently skips practice on "Necessary Roughness" (9 p.m., USA). ● A long stretch between fires on "Rescue Me" (9 p.m., FX). ● Doris Roberts guest-stars on "Hot in Cleveland" (9 p.m., TV Land).

For Wednesday, July 20: This year, you advance a key interest. You have energy working for you.

Express interest in your community, work and key family members. Though there could be surprises along the way, you will gain because of your diligence and strong insights.

Dear Midge: When you presented the scholarship, did the girl thank you in person?

If so, she may not realize that it is good form to also express her appreciation in writing.

Send her a note saying, “We were delighted to award you the Women’s Scholarship last spring. We would very much like to be kept informed of your progress, so please let us know how you are doing.”

Dear Texas: You cannot force Donna to be a better daughter, nor are your parents likely to insist on it. Since they could use some extra assistance, however, it wouldn’t hurt to talk to Donna again and remind her gently that she currently is the one with the most flexible schedule.

Ask her how she thinks she can be of help. Then suggest to your parents that they discuss their future financial needs with their banker, lawyer or other impartial intermediary.

Dear Annie: My parents are in their early 80s. They’ve had some health problems and are slowing down, but they are still able to care for themselves. They make ends meet because they carefully saved over the years.

The problem is my younger sister, who went through a difficult divorce several years ago. “Donna” hasn’t worked much since then, and Mom and Dad are paying nearly all of her expenses. If my parents were to need assisted living, I worry it could be a major hardship.

Donna shows no signs of looking for full-time work.

When Mom recently told me that vacuuming hurts her arms, I asked Donna to pitch in with the heavy housework.

She agreed to do so, but when I later asked Mom about it, she said Donna told her she didn’t have time because she was so busy applying for jobs and was afraid she might miss a phone call if she left home.

(As if cell phones don’t travel.)

I understand that jobs aren’t easy to come by, but couldn’t Donna spend one day a week doing housework and running errands for my parents? I would do it myself, but there have been layoffs and pay cuts at work, and my hours have increased substantially. I get home late, and
