New DUI law tougher, but loopholes still exist

LONE STAR LAKE

Tonganoxie man, 30, drowns

KANSAS’ NEW DUI LAW PENALTIES

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

The law has been in effect since July 1: ● First offense: Misdemeanor, 30-day license suspension, ignition interlock for remainder of a year, two days to six months in jail or 100 hours of community service, $1,000 fine. ● Second offense:

Misdemeanor, 45-day license suspension, ignition interlock for one year, $1,250 fine.

Must serve at least five days in jail.

● Third offense:

Misdemeanor, 45-day license suspension, ignition interlock for two years, $1,750 fine, 90 days to one year in jail. Will be charged with a felony if offender has had one other DUI in the past 10 years.

● Fourth offense and above:

Felony, 45-day license suspension, ignition interlock for three years, 90 days to one year in jail, $2,500 fine.

Offenders must petition court to be eligible to drive after the 45-day license suspensions for second and above convictions.

Any DUIs committed prior to July 1, 2001, do not count toward an offender’s total.

A 30-year-old Tonganoxie man died while he was swimming about 75 feet offshore at Lone Star Lake in southern Douglas County, said Douglas County Sheriff spokesman Sgt. Steve Lewis.

Divers were called to the scene shortly before 11:30 a.m. and the man, identified as James Nicholas Owens, was pulled from the lake about 3:45 p.m., Lewis said.

Lewis said Owens was swimming with friends who immediately noticed he did not come up after going under water. The friends then called for help.

Brooke Crews was nearby on an inflatable raft when the man went under. She heard teenagers calling for help and yelling for someone to dial 911.

She said she didn’t think the teens knew the man but saw they were trying to save him.

“I ran my raft over there to them,” Crews said.

She saw teens using flotation devices to try to rescue Owens. She said that at one point, Owens grabbed onto one of his would-be rescuer's legs, and in his panic began to drag the teenager down with him. This forced the teen to let go of Owens to prevent being pulled down with him.

“They started diving for him until the emergency crews showed up,” Crews said.

Rescue crews from the Douglas and Jefferson county sheriffs’ offices, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical and other area agencies used boats and divers to search the water.

Douglas County Sheriff Ken McGovern encouraged swimmers to follow safe practices, such as novice swimmers taking lessons and wearing life preservers. He also urged swimmers to be aware of unfamiliar environments.

Lone Star Lake, he pointed out, gets deep fast.

“It goes from calf-deep all the way to 15 feet in just no time,” McGovern said.

This is the second incident at Lone Star Lake this summer. A boy drowned at Lone Star Lake on July 2.

Central database, tougher What a DUI stop, penalties can’t keep all arrest looks like Late-summer vacancies ‘odd’ T drunken drivers off streets

In 2008, a Wichita mother and daughter were killed by a drunken driver as they walked to school. The driver, Gary Hammitt, 57, was still on the road despite having four convictions for driving under the influence, or DUI. The incident spurred two state-sponsored commissions and led to a new DUI law that went into effect July 1.

But Hammitt’s DUI history could be considered paltry compared with some drivers booked into Douglas County Jail last year.

A Journal-World investigation identified 18 people booked into Douglas County Jail in 2010 for their fourth or more DUI charge; there are drivers cruising local roads every day despite six and seven DUI arrests.

Then there’s 56-year-old Baldwin Cityarea resident Randolph Holder.

Since 1977, Holder has been convicted of DUI at least nine times, most recently in March, though that case is being appealed.

Covering a span of 34 years, Holder has been jailed, fined, placed under house arrest and had his license suspended and revoked.

But nothing has kept Holder from driving drunk.

Holder — who, along with his attorney, declined comment for this report — isn’t alone in the state, said Mary Ann Khoury, director of the DUI Victim Center of Kansas in Wichita.

“We’ve seen 18, 19, 20 (DUI convictions),” she said.

Holder’s case highlights some of the problems the new DUI law tries to address.

But will the new law keep drivers like Holder off the road?

o understand what it’s like getting pulled over for driving under the influence, Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Richie Labahn and I simulated the process.

Labahn, a patrol deputy, flashes his lights behind me on a side road near the jail. It’s about 6 a.m., and a couple of interested walkers look on at the potential trouble on a quiet street.

Labahn approaches my Ford Focus.

“License and registration,” says Labahn, who’s all business. “Is this a current address?”

for rentals

By Aaron Couch acouch@ljworld.com

If you take a drive around Lawrence this weekend, you might notice more “For Rent” signs than you’d expect to see in August.

Even prime spots for students have rooms for rent.

“This will be my first year that I’ve had a vacancy,” said Quinn Miller of Second Wind Management. “It’s been an odd month.”

Miller has been managing properties in Lawrence since 2007 and noticed last year the renter pool seemed smaller. Then, he didn’t fill his last spot until July 31. This year, Aug. 1 has come and gone and he has yet to fill five of his 37 spots.

Last week in the neighborhood north of Memorial Stadium, where Miller still has a house to fill, there were seven “For Rent” Please see RENTAL, page 6A

DUI Repository The new DUI law created a central repository — or electronic database — to help police and prosecutors statewide better access criminal histories of those arrested for driving under the influence. Previously, prosecutors had difficulty finding the necessary information about how many DUIs a person had. In some municipalities, records weren’t forwarded to the appropriate state agency, and prosecutors were forced with the time-consuming task of trying to track down where someone may have had a DUI. Here’s information on the Central Repository, which is being created by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation: ● The central repository will enable prosecutors to electronically obtain full criminal histories from one location. Records will be stored in a database maintained by the KBI. ● All law enforcement agencies will be required to submit DUI offenses to the central repository by July 1, 2012. ● All agencies will be required to submit DUI offenses electronically to the central repository by July 1, 2013.

Lawrence DUI arrests comparison Lawrence had the highest amount of DUI arrests per 1,000 residents in 2010, according to a survey of 27 cities across the country, known as the Benchmark City Survey. Here is how Lawrence compared: 1. Lawrence — 12.0 arrests per 1,000 residents 2. Overland Park — 10.0 arrests 3. Edmond, Okla. — 9.4 arrests 4. Fort Collins, Colo. — 9.2 arrests 5. Springfield, Mo. — 8.0 arrests 6. Lincoln, Neb. — 7.7 arrests 7. Boise, Idaho — 7.4 arrests 8. Richardson, Texas — 7.3 arrests 9. Olathe — 7.1 arrests 10. Norman, Okla. — 6.1 arrests 14. Boulder, Colo. — 5.1 arrests 16. Broken Arrow, Okla. — 4.5 arrests 17. Plano, Texas — 4.4 arrests 21. Boca Raton, Fla. — 3.6 arrests 27. Coral Springs, Fla. — 0.7 arrest

DUI CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

No way to know For starters, Holder’s case highlights the inconsistencies in how the state tracks DUI offenders. A search of Holder’s criminal history through the Kansas Bureau of Investigation shows six DUI convictions. Obtain his driving record from the Kansas Department of Revenue, and only three show up.

Holder, however, has nine total convictions, according to Douglas County Assistant District Attorney Greg Benefiel. Benefiel prosecutes most of the county’s DUI cases and has access to Holder’s presentence investigation report, Holder which isn’t open to the public under Kansas open records laws.

“One of the issues is the fuzziness of the records,” said Benefiel, explaining that not all Kansas municipalities have consistently submitted such cases to state databases.

As part of their investigation, prosecutors must call each municipality where they think someone may have been convicted of a DUI. Benefiel said that if he suspects the accused has been convicted somewhere in Johnson County, for instance, staff would need to check all 18 municipalities in the county.

“It’s a very time-consuming process,” he said.

But that’s not the end of it.

A prosecutor must get the records to prove the case, and also prove that the offender was represented by an attorney. But sometimes those records aren’t kept.

So is there any way to know how many DUI convictions a person in Kansas has? Probably not, Benefiel said.

Is it possible someone in Kansas has 100 DUIs and is still driving around?

Unlikely, but it’s possible, he said.

That’s one of the issues the new DUI law addresses, in the form of a central DUI repository, or database, to track the state’s DUI offenders. In essence, law enforcement and prosecutors will need to search only one database to find out how often someone has been convicted or arrested for a DUI, and all municipalities are required to participate.

Clean-slate provision But the repository comes with a caveat, one that wipes the slate clean for some offenders. Any DUIs committed prior to July 1, 2001, cannot be included in an offender’s total. In Holder’s case, that would mean that if he is convicted of another DUI — which would be his 10th — it would be counted as only his third offense, which carries fewer penalties.

Khoury, of the DUI Victim Center, is fuming about that stipulation, as well as other aspects, that she said don’t make Kansas roads any safer.

Kansas roads are among the most dangerous in the country when it comes to alcohol-related fatalities.

Several years ago, Kansas ranked well below the national average in alcoholrelated fatalities per million miles driven. In 2010, the state’s rate was 40 percent higher than the national average. In addition, the number of alcohol-related traff ic fatalities in Kansas increased more than 50 percent between 2005 and 2009.

The law simply didn’t go far enough to make a significant impact, Khoury said.

Addictions counselor explains ‘substance abuse continuum’

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

To get a better sense of the behavior of habitual drunken drivers, the Journal-World interviewed licensed clinical addiction counselor Lisa Carter, who works for DCCCA. Carter explained the “substance abuse continuum,” which outlines varying stages of alcohol addiction, and how individuals in those stages respond to negative consequences, such as being arrested for a DUI. Here’s how Carter explained the five stages: ● No use or abstinence: Individuals who do not drink. ● Nonproblem users: Those who drink occasionally, but who don’t experience any negative effects related to their drinking.

our recommendations. We failed,” she said.

Khoury favored a “lifetime look back” for DUIs, so someone like Holder would receive the most severe punishment for his crime — up to a year in jail and lifetime use of an ignition interlock that prevents him from driving if he has been drinking. But if someone committed all of their DUIs before 2001, regardless of how many they had, they’d avoid serious jail time.

Restricting the look back to 10 years “was putting us back in the dark ages,” Khoury said.

Ignition interlock Over at one of the local businesses that installs ignition interlock devices — Garber Automotive, 2216 W. Sixth St. — business is booming, said owner Micah Garber.

Businesses such as Garber’s are seeing a spike in ignition interlock installations thanks to the new DUI law, which requires even f irst-time offenders to use the devices.

How long DUI offenders must use an ignition interlock varies, but in some cases it can be for up to 10 years.

Garber explained how the ignition interlocks work.

Offenders pay a $45 installation fee, and Garber’s crew installs the devices in about 30 minutes.

The device is connected to a vehicle’s ignition, and to start the car someone needs to blow into a hand-held device, which records the Blood Alcohol Content, or BAC. While the legal limit in Kansas is a BAC of .08, the ignition interlock won’t allow the vehicle to start if someone blows over a .04. If someone registers over the limit, they get two retests within the next 15 minutes. Fail those, and the car locks up. Offenders must also pay a $75 monthly fee, and data from the devices is downloaded and sent to probation officers.

The device has provisions to prevent ways of skirting the system, said Jamie Krumsick, who coordinates distribution of interlock devices for Kansas Guardian Interlock.

“The device is a lot smarter than people give it credit for,” Krumsick said.

What if someone else, who’s sober, blows into the device to get it started for a drunken person?

They won’t get too far, as the device will ask for occasional rolling retests, beginning after about five minutes.

If the device requests a retest, drivers have 300 seconds to blow into the device before locking up.

But what if a sober passen-

Commonly referred to as “social drinkers.” ● Misuse: When nonproblem users experience a negative consequence of drinking, they shift into this category. Those consequences can range from relationship problems to legal trouble. In this stage, a negative consequence is sometimes enough to make a person curb problem drinking. ● Abuse: Misusers who continue to experience negative consequences but drink anyway. Carter said that at this stage, friends and family begin noticing the problems, and the drinking can cause problems in nearly every aspect of someone’s life. Some are still able to cut down on their drinking at this stage, and slide back into one of the lesser stages. ● Dependence: In this

ger blows into the device for a drunken driver whenever the retests are requested?

Krumsick answers that with a question of his own.

“Why is the sober person not driving?” he said.

Good point, but Khoury, from the DUI Victim Center, said she’s heard cases of drunken parents making their children blow into the device for them.

For someone determined to drive drunk, there are other ways around the interlock.

The new law doesn’t require someone to install an ignition interlock. But if they drive then they must legally use one. So you could simply not install one and roll the dice that you won’t be pulled over. Or have one installed, use it when sober, but use a second vehicle — without an interlock — when drinking.

Refusal One of the drawbacks of the new DUI law, said State Sen. Tim Owens, R-Overland Park, is the failure to close a loophole for drivers who refuse to take a Breathalyzer when pulled over. Owens served on the DUI Commission and has spent five years trying to reform Kansas DUI laws.

Here’s the choice offenders can make when they’re pulled over for drunken driving: ● Take the Breathalyzer, fail, and then be subjected to jail time, be fined and use of an ignition interlock for a year. ● Refuse the Breathalyzer, which will trigger an automatic one-year license suspension, then be required to use an interlock for one year.

While you could still be prosecuted for DUI under the second option, it’s much more difficult to prove without the Breathalyzer. Prosecutors are left with field sobriety tests administered by the on-scene officer, said Owens, who has been a prosecutor, defense attorney and judge in his career. He’s seen cases in which someone refuses a test and evades a conviction for DUI. An offender like Holder could simply refuse next time and have his license suspended, while taking his chances in court on the DUI charge. In the past, that doesn’t seem to have had much of an effect.

Since 2009, Holder’s license has been revoked or suspended at least five times.

Consequences?

More jail time, ignition interlocks, increased fines — no matter what the law requires, those most addicted

stage, a person is physically and psychologically dependent on alcohol. At this stage, negative effects of drinking are not enough to persuade someone to stop drinking. Consequences don’t matter.

Treatment varies, depending on what stage someone is in, Carter said, and can range from outpatient therapy for misusers to intensive inpatient treatment for those in the dependence stage.

The new Kansas DUI law has provisions to increase treatment for offenders, such as standardized substance abuse assessments for all offenders. The new law also designates funding to send offenders to inpatient substance abuse facilities.

to alcohol or drugs don’t fear the consequences, said Lisa Carter, an addictions counselor with DCCCA. That’s one of the lessons she’s learned in more than 15 years in the addictions field.

“They start losing things — jobs, homes, relationships,” she said. “Everything crumbles.”

It comes down to a choice, and if an addicted person isn’t ready for that, “It’s not going to change,” Carter said.

The only foolproof way to keep the most habitual drunken drivers off the road would be incarceration. The new law sets one year as the maximum sentence a judge could give, even if someone has 10 DUIs. Owens, however, said the state’s sentencing guidelines allow for a judge to impose a prison sentence for felony DUI convictions if someone has an additional criminal history. At what point that would happen, and how it would be applied by the legal system, is not clear.

The Kansas Department of Corrections, in its 2010 population report, showed that 27 offenders were in Kansas prisons for DUI, while 42 were imprisoned for vehicular manslaughter DUI. Other aspects of the new law will have to play out over time. The 54-page law is complex, and some defense attorneys interviewed for this report admitted to not understanding all of the provisions.

“This is so new,” said John Frydman, a Lawrence attorney who handles several DUI cases. “We’re all just feeling our way through this.”

Even at its strongest, the law will probably not keep the most habitual drunken drivers off the roads for long.

For some, like Hammitt, who had four previous DUIs when he killed the mother and daughter, it takes a death to remove them from the roads. For his crimes, Hammitt was sentenced to 39 years in prison and won’t be eligible for parole until he’s 87.

“You have people who aren’t going to get any better,” Owens said. “They’re not going to stop (driving drunk).”

Funding for heritage projects available

Everything must go

1 | INDIANAPOLIS

Stage collapse kills state fairgoers Authorities say they have confirmed at least four deaths after a stage collapsed during a storm at the Indiana State Fair, where country act Sugarland was set to perform.

Indiana State Police said the number of people hurt has risen to about 40, with their injuries ranging from minor to serious. The incident happened Saturday night at the fairgrounds in Indianapolis.

Strong winds caused the stage rigging for the outdoor concert to collapse, trapping and injuring concert-goers shortly before 9 p.m.

Witnesses say no one was performing at the time.

The opening act had finished, and the crowd was waiting for Sugarland to take the stage. The collapse came as thousands of concert-goers were being evacuated from the fairground grandstand to a nearby coliseum.

Douglas County Commission ready to accept proposals

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

One of those customers walked over to the women and thanked them for their service.

It was a common occurrence throughout the store Saturday, as customers asked employees where they would go, and if they would come back when the store reopened.

District Manager Kim Svoboda was in from Topeka to mark the store’s last day.

“This is the only time you’d see one of our stores looking like this,” she said, noting the

Think big. And think small.

That’s the advice Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Thellman is giving those who are interested in applying for the inaugural round of funding from the Natural and Cultural Heritage Grant Program.

Last summer, the county commissioners made the controversial decision to set aside $350,000 in the 2011 budget to spend on projects that would preserve the area’s natural and cultural heritage.

Nearly a year later, the county is ready to accept proposals from those who have projects that could use the money.

Any Douglas County resident can apply for a grant, which could be used to preserve everything from a century-old farmstead to a historic building in a small downtown.

“I don’t want to draw the lines so clearly because I don’t want people to be discouraged from putting in an application,” Thellman said. “If they think they have got a parcel of land or great historic structure or something of real interest that might relate to this, it would be worth filling out an application.”

For nearly nine months, a task force met to establish the guidelines for how the County Commission should best spend the money.

They recommended that almost $200,000 of the $350,000 be spent on one or two major projects and $105,000 on smaller, targeted projects. Those targeted projects could be for several thousand dollars or up to $105,000.

Gunmen abduct American man Gunmen kidnapped an American development expert after tricking his guards and breaking into his house in Pakistan on Saturday, a brazen raid that alarmed aid workers, diplomats and other foreigners who already tread carefully in this country rife with Islamic militancy and anti-U.S. sentiment.

The U.S. Embassy identified the victim as Warren Weinstein. Weinstein is the Pakistan country director for J.E. Austin Associates, a development contractor that has received millions of dollars from the aid arm of the U.S. government, according to a profile on LinkedIn, a networking website.

Police declined to speculate on the motive, and no group immediately claimed responsibility. But kidnappings for ransom are common in Pakistan, with foreigners being occasional targets. Criminal gangs are suspected in most abductions, but Islamic militants are believed to also use the tactic to raise money.

3 | LONDON

Top cop slams U.K.’s crime adviser pick Tensions between Britain’s government and police leaders flared Saturday over Prime Minister David Cameron’s recruitment of a veteran American police commander to advise him on how to combat gangs and prevent a repeat of the past week’s riots.

The criticism, led by Association of Chief Police Officers leader Sir Hugh Orde, underscored deep tensions between police and Cameron’s coalition government over who was most to blame for the failure to stop the four-day rioting that raged in parts of London and other English cities until Wednesday.

Cameron criticized police tactics as too timid and announced he would seek policy guidance from William Bratton, former commander of police forces in Boston, New York and Los Angeles. British police have branded the move misguided and an insult to their professionalism.

4 | LIBYA

Rebels enter key city of Zawiya Libyan rebels fought their way into the strategic city of Zawiya west of Tripoli on Saturday in their most significant advance in months, battling snipers on rooftops and heavy shelling from Moammar Gadhafi’s forces holding the city.

Zawiya, 30 miles from the capital, is a key target for rebels waging a new offensive launched from the mountains in the far west of Libya, an attempt to break the deadlock in combat between the two sides that has held for months in the center and east of the country.

A credible threat from the rebels in the west could strain Gadhafi’s troops, which have been hammered for months by NATO airstrikes. Defending Zawiya is key for the regime but could require bringing in better trained forces.

Syrian tanks, army kill at least 5 Syrian tanks, security agents and pro-regime gunmen fanned out into the streets of several towns to root out protesters demanding the ouster of President Bashar Assad in a sweep Saturday that killed at least five people.

The heaviest assault was in the Mediterranean coastal city of Latakia, where a day earlier thousands had turned out in protests. At least 20 tanks and armored personnel carriers rolled into the city’s elRamel neighborhood amid intense gunfire that sent many residents fleeing the area, according to Rami Abdul-Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Her friend Karen Strickland had been working in the bakery since 1979.

The pair went to same high school, have children who are close in age, but now will be parting ways. One will be going to a store in Topeka, the other going to the Dillons at Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive.

“We have built great relationships with customers, and it’s hard to say goodbye,” said Sutheimer.

BRIEFLY Granddaughter of KU chant writer dies The Kansas University family lost a valued member as Carolyn Bailey Berneking, granddaughter of KU icon E.H.S. Bailey, died Thursday.

Berneking, a former KU librarian, worked to preserve the university’s history through the years. Her efforts saw Strong Hall entered into the National Register of Historic Sites and Bailey Hall, named for her grandfather, placed on the Kansas Register of Historic Buildings. Bailey was also responsible for creating the university’s Rock Chalk chant.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little shared kind thoughts on the KU graduate and longtime volunteer.

“Carolyn Bailey Berneking was a beloved member of the Jayhawk nation,” Gray-Little said. “On behalf of the entire University of Kansas community, I offer the deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. She will be missed.”

Berneking was 96 years old. ● An obituary for Mrs.

60K lbs of ground beef recalled over E. coli DODGE CITY — A Kansas company is recalling about 60,000 pounds of ground beef because the product may be contaminated with E. coli.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says National Beef Packing Co. of Dodge City has recalled about 60,424 pounds

of ground beef because of E. coli concerns.

The recall includes ground beef chubs produced on July 23, 2011, with a freeze date of Aug. 12, and product codes 483, 684, 782, 785, 787. Also recalled are ground beef chubs produced on July 25, 2011l, with a freeze date of Aug 14., bearing product codes 431, 471, 494.

The USDA says the problem was discovered during testing at an Ohio facility that bought some of the products.

E. coli is a potentially deadly bacteria that can cause bloody diarrhea and other problems.

Nemaha County needs workers SENECA — Unemployment numbers may be rising elsewhere in Kansas, but Nemaha County in the northeast section of the state is having trouble finding workers.

The Topeka Capital Journal reports that the a preliminary report from the Kansas Department of Labor indicates Nemaha County’s unemployment rate is 3.9 percent. That compares with the state’s jobless rate of 6.7 percent.

Betsy Macke, human resource manager for Koch and Co. Inc., a woodworking facility in Seneca, says that company struggles to find enough workers.

Harry Leem, executive director of the Seneca Chamber of Commerce, said a lack of affordable housing is the biggest drawback to attracting workers to the community of about 1,990.

Anne Walters, general manager of Travel Leaders, 4104 W. Sixth St., said her company has embraced the Internet to make their job easier, using it to send clients information about their trips as well as their itinerary.

AAA Lawrence has also embraced the Internet. Jim Hanni, spokesman for AAA Kansas, said customers can book their travel online or work one-on-one with an agent at their office, 3514 Clinton Parkway.

Travel agencies charge a fee, usually $25 to $30, to book airline travel. Other travel reservations, such as for hotels and cruises, are free because those companies still pay commission.

Tuesday will help those submitting applications for funding through the Natural Cultural Heritage Grant Program. The workshop, which will review the application process, will be on the second floor of the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass.

Grotewiel said a strong application would combine elements of natural, cultural and historic importance.

Other attractive projects would be those that connect a land, building or historic site to a larger story, especially if that tale links to the county’s Civil War or pre-Civil War history. In particular, Thellman said, the county

Travellers and Travel Leaders also rely on corporate travel. Walters said companies value the convenience of booking all their travel through a single account.

Chris Armstrong, president of Travel Leaders, said the volume of reservations his agency makes with businesses sometimes gives them access to better deals than people can find on their own.

These relationships also allow his agency to solve unexpected problems, such as flight cancellations and last-minute crises. Armstrong said an agent will not only rebook the travel but also do it without fees.

Hanni also said relationships with suppliers has kept AAA competitive.

“We work with preferred vendors who jump through hoops because you have a relationship with them,” Hanni said.

The county is also looking for projects that have matching funds and will improve sites that are accessible to the public.

Both Grotewiel and Thellman hope this is the first of many rounds of grant cycles.

If successful, Grotewiel said, the grant program could spread to the other counties in the Freedom’s Frontier area.

Thellman said that one day she hopes the grant program finds a permanent funding source, such as a sales tax.

As for the next round of grants, commissioners this week approved setting aside another $350,000 in the 2012 budget for preservation projects.

“More than anything else, the relationships have continued throughout the years,” Walters said. “It’s a bond of trust.”

The U.S. Travel Association’s 2010 survey, Travelers’ Use of the Internet, indicated online travel bookers grew by 3 million from 2007 to 2009.

Forty-three percent of leisure travelers surveyed said the Internet decreased the likelihood they would call a travel agency; 44 percent said it had no effect.

Houk’s confidence in his business has two core beliefs: People choose personalized customer service, and travel is a necessity, not a luxury.

“Travel is something that people have to have,” Houk said. “If you woke up every morning and said, ‘This is what it is for the rest of my life,’ that would be a nonexistence.”

signs in the 10 square blocks from Sixth and Illinois streets to 11th and Maine streets.

No one knows exactly how many rental vacancies Lawrence has because property management companies are reluctant to reveal those exact numbers. But real estate appraiser Tim Keller conducts an annual survey of property owners to try to find out.

“My estimates have shown the vacancy rates range from 6 to 10 percent depending on the part of the city,” said Keller, who has not yet released the results to this year’s survey.

That fits with the most recent estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, which pegged Lawrence’s 2009 rental vacancy rate at 6.5 percent, with about 2,400 of the 37,900 rental units vacant.

That’s actually lower than the 7.7 percent rate for the entire state that year. Nationally, the rental vacancy rate dropped to 9.2 percent in the spring, the lowest it’s been since 2004.

For landlords like Miller, lower student enrollment may be contributing to his unoccupied rooms.

The head count on the Kansas University’s Lawrence campus declined by 600 from fall 2008 to fall 2010. KU’s latest enrollment numbers have not been released.

For landlords who cater to students, the decline has been felt.

“It’s been a lot of wait-andsee,” Miller said.

Development continues There are also more apartment units. Since 2008, 997 apartment units have been built in Lawrence, with 55 built so far this year.

Tuckaway Apartments at 546 Frontier Road were completed in the spring, replacing the Boardwalk Apartments that burned down in 2005.

Since becoming fully operational in June, about 35 per-

cent of the 96 apartments have been leased.

Other projects in the works include a seven-story, 55-bedroom building on the corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets and a 300-apartment complex on Sixth Street and Queens Road.

It might sound odd that there’s so much development in a town where there are more rooms for rent than there are renters. But for investors, it could make sense to build now.

“Construction costs will probably never be any cheaper,” Keller said. “Financing is not easy to get, but the interest rates are favorable.”

And while there are vacancies, Lawrence’s population did grow by more than 1,000 from 2006 to 2010. That growth may give investors the confidence that building now could pay off later.

“While there’s vacancy, there’s also growth the market can stand,” said Ted Haggart, president and CEO of Douglas County Bank.

“There is never going to be zero vacancy.”

He said developers who build now may be able to sell their holdings down the road for a big payoff. That happened last December, when a New York-based company purchased two of the three Hawks Pointe apartments at 1421 W. Seventh St. for $12.4 million. The apartments had been owned by a Massachusetts-based company since 2004.

“Apartments are still a favored property to own nationwide,” Keller said.

“That probably accounts for some of that signif icant investment from out of state.”

For landlord James Dunn, who still is trying to fill some of his properties, that development perplexes him. He is concerned the Lawrence rental market has become overbuilt.

“I do have places that really should have somebody living in them. A lot of them are fixed up with new things,” Dunn said. “I feel like I’m personally creating museums.”

2012 Republican race jolted with straw poll, Perry entry

By Thomas Beaumont Associated Press Writer

A M E S , I O W A — The 2012 Republican presidential race lurched into a new phase Saturday as Iowans weighed in for the first time on their expanding field of presidential hopefuls, picking Michele Bachmann as their top choice for the GOP nomination.

Halfway across the country latecomer Texas Gov. Rick Perry formally entered the race, declaring: “AmeriPerry ca is not broken. Washington, D.C., is broken.”

Together, the events were certain to reshuffle the race to face President Barack Obama. Exactly how was anybody’s guess, as the candidates sought an early validation that they have widespread appeal, with those further behind in the pack hoping to gain momentum and avoid increased questions over their campaign viability.

A slew of Republicans are seeking the chance to challenge Obama next fall for the leadership of a country facing a recent downgrade in its credit rating, high unemployment and Wall Street tumult. And, from Iowa to South Carolina on Saturday, several of those candidates used their perches before GOP activists in two critical early voting states to castigate the Democratic incumbent and offer themselves as the answer to an ailing America.

“We are going to make Barack Obama a one-term president,” Bachmann declared to cheers on the campus of Iowa State University during a daylong political festival. A few hours later, she learned she won the Iowa

Bachmann, the tea party favorite with a following among evangelicals who make up the GOP base in Iowa and elsewhere, got more than 28 percent of the 17,000 votes cast in the nonbinding exercise. It provides clues about each candidate’s level of support and campaign organization five months before the Iowa caucuses kick off the Republican primary season.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who has support among libertarian-leaning voters, came in a close second. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty was looking for a strong showing to boost his struggling campaign, but fared a distant third, raising questions about the future of his candidacy.

“We have a lot more work to do,” Pawlenty said, suggesting he wasn’t dropping out despite the disappointing finish. “We are just beginning.”

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was fourth, followed by businessman Herman Cain. Perry, who wasn’t on the ballot but was written in by supporters, came in sixth, just ahead of GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who didn’t compete in the straw poll. Also on the ballot but barely registering support: former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia.

The results are hardly predictive of who will win the state’s winter precinct caucuses but the outcome can shape the race for the months ahead.

With the victory, Bachmann is all but certain to get a jolt of momentum just as Perry seeks to infringe on her base of tea party and evangelical support. She also made clear that she has a strong getout-the-vote operation and a wide volunteer base in a state whose caucuses require those elements.

Obama to talk jobs in rural America

By Ken Thomas Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — Trading Washington’s hot house for states critical to his re-election prospects, President Barack Obama is headed to the Midwest after a summer of discontent over a protracted debt showdown with Republicans and the downgrade in the nation’s credit rating.

Obama’s bus tour, his first as president, begins Monday and will take him to prairie communities in Minnesota and through Iowa and Illinois, with stops in the farmland and rural towns that launched his f irst White House bid.

The former Illinois senator is expected to tell audiences that he agrees with their frustrations about a dysfunctional federal government.

“What we’ve seen in Washington the last few months has been the worst kind of partisanship, the worst kind of gridlock — and that gridlock has undermined public confidence and impeded our efforts to take the steps we need for our economy,” Obama said Thursday in Michigan. “It’s made things worse instead of better.”

Obama won a clean sweep in 2008 of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, a region that has supported Democratic presidential candidates since 2000, except for President George W. Bush’s narrow victory in Iowa in 2004.

But Obama’s standing in these states, like elsewhere, has grown precarious as the economy has slumped.

Republican governors are now in charge in three of those five states and Obama’s approval rating, as measured

by Gallup, is hovering around 50 percent in most of the region.

“We got a president who got a decrease in the credit rating of our nation, and that’s because our president simply doesn’t understand how to lead and how to grow an economy,” Republican hopeful Mitt Romney said in Thursday’s Iowa debate.

Romney and his GOP rivals blamed Obama for the growth of the federal deficit and the credit Obama downgrade

by Standard and Poor’s, the first in the nation’s history.

The GOP race intensified with Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s entry Saturday. When Obama arrives at a town hall meeting in Decorah, Iowa, on Monday afternoon, Perry intends to meet with voters in eastern Iowa, about 100 miles away.

Nationally, Obama’s approval rating is compara-

ble to President Ronald Reagan’s ratings in August 1983.

But recent Gallup polls found that Obama’s approval rating was hovering between 44 percent and 49 percent in 10 states closely watched by his political advisers. Those states include Iowa, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida.

Obama’s standing with independents, who helped him win in traditionally Republican states such as Indiana and North Carolina, has fallen, too.

“The country is in an unbelievably angry mood,” said Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg.

Most presidents like to get away from the nations’ capital, and this excursion couldn’t come at a better time.

Make it right Kansas legislators need to move quickly to remedy the terrible precedent set by forcing local governments to fund services that are the state’s responsibility.

C

ity and county officials have taken the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation off the hook. Now, local taxpayers can only hope that the Kansas Legislature returns the favor.

Although members of the Lawrence City Commission and Douglas County Commission expressed displeasure over the precedent they were creating, they decided this week to commit $450,000 in local tax money for the next two years to maintain an SRS office in Lawrence.

That completely covers the amount state SRS would have saved by closing the office. SRS officials earlier had said that closing the office would save the state about $450,000 per year, but had to revise that figure after learning that about half that amount was federal funds that simply would be lost by the state.

SRS Secretary Rob Siedlecki told a Kansas Public Radio reporter Thursday that the local funding deal was “a win-win for everybody,” but it doesn’t really feel that way. Blackmail may be too strong a word, but by threatening to close the local SRS office, state officials put local governments in a near-impossible situation.

Using local tax dollars to take over a state responsibility sets a terrible precedent, but if local officials stood on principle, there would be significant social and economic costs for the county. There was the human cost to thousands of residents who depend on SRS services as well as the economic loss of 87 employees and the estimated loss of $2.4 million in food stamp assistance that wouldn’t be distributed in Lawrence.

Timing also was critical. City and county officials were told that SRS was preparing to move furniture out of the local offices. It appeared that the office closing would be over and done with before state legislators got around to looking into the situation. Once the office was closed, it would be extremely difficult to have it restored.

City and county officials made the decision they thought they had to make for the good of the community. Nonetheless, it could be a decision they live to regret.

SRS office closings across the state have gotten the attention of some state legislators who say they intended for administrative budget cuts included in the budget to take place at the state level, not at local offices. Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, said Tuesday that she hoped legislators will consider the issue in the 2012 session and perhaps order funding to the Lawrence office to be restored. According to the local funding agreement, if that happens, the city and county are no longer obligated to continue their financial support.

In his KPR interview, Siedlecki made no reference to revisiting the situation for the next two years. After the local funding agreement runs out, he said, his office will “make good faith efforts to keep the office open” with additional funding from the Legislature.

We hope the Legislature won’t wait that long to act. City and county officials stepped into this situation because they believed the closing of the local office would be beyond the point of no return before legislators could take any action. They were backed into a corner and made the best decision they could — but that doesn’t make it OK for local taxpayers to fund this state responsibility.

State legislators need to review this situation as quickly as possible and make it right.

Berlin Wall built on Kennedy blunders WASHINGTON — Fifty years ago, a metaphor became concrete.

Beginning on Aug. 13, 1961, along West Berlin’s 27-mile border, the Iron Curtain became tangible in a wall of precast slabs of concrete. It came down 22 years ago, but the story of how it rose, as told in Frederick Kempe’s book “Berlin 1961,” compels an unflattering assessment of John Kennedy. His serial blunders that year made it the most incompetent first year of any presidency.

In a State of the Union address just 10 days after his inauguration, Kennedy seemed exhilarated by hysteria. He said that “in this brief 10-day period” he had been “staggered” by “the harsh enormity” of the “trials” ahead: “Each day the crises multiply.

Each day their solution grows more difficult. Each day we draw nearer the hour of maximum danger, as ... hostile forces grow stronger. ... Our analyses over the last 10 days make it clear that ... the tide of events has been running out.” Lunging for an equivalence with Lincoln, Kennedy said that during his term Americans would learn whether a nation such as ours “can endure.”

Actually, since Election Day he had learned that the “missile gap” he had accused President Eisenhower of allowing to develop was f ictitious. And the coming months of danger would begin with the staggering stupidity of the Bay of Pigs invasion. It convinced Nikita Khrushchev, the 67-year-old grandson of a serf and son of a coal miner, that

And the coming “months of danger would

begin with the staggering stupidity of the Bay of Pigs invasion. It convinced Nikita Khrushchev, the 67-year-old grandson of a serf and son of a coal miner, that Kennedy, the 43-year-old son of privilege, was too callow to recognize the invasion’s risks and too weak to see it through.”

Kennedy, the 43-year-old son of privilege, was too callow to recognize the invasion’s risks and too weak to see it through.

Khrushchev knew the steady flow of East German refugees — 2 million in a decade, disproportionately the most educated, productive citizens — to West Berlin was making that drab nation into a mendicant, and revealing socialism’s moral bankruptcy.

But candidate Kennedy had said “our position in Europe” depends

on not being “driven from Berlin” and “is worth a nuclear war.”

On May 25, six weeks after Yuri Gagarin became the first man to orbit Earth, Kennedy said “extraordinary times” demanded a second State of the Union address. In it he proclaimed “the whole southern half of the globe” a “great battleground,” especially emphasizing a place on few Americans’ minds: Vietnam.

Then he flew to Vienna to meet Khrushchev — “Little Boy Blue meets Al Capone,” a U.S. diplomat said.

Khrushchev treated Kennedy with brutal disdain. In excruciating pain from his ailing back, and pumped full of perhaps disorienting drugs by his disreputable doctor (who would lose his medical license in 1975), Kennedy said it was the “worst thing in my life.

He savaged me.” British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan said, “For the first time in his life, Kennedy met a man who was impervious to his charm.” Kempe writes, “From that point forward Khrushchev would act more aggressively in the conviction that there would be little price to pay.” Kempe says that when Robert Kennedy met with his brother back in Washington, “Tears were running down the president’s cheeks.”

As Khrushchev turned up the temperature on Berlin, Kennedy studied the modalities of conducting a nuclear war. On July 25, he gave a nationally televised address, referring 17 times to the U.S. commitment to West Berlin,

although the entire city was under four-power (U.S., Soviet, British, French) rule.

On July 30, in a Sunday morning television interview, Sen. William Fulbright said: “I don’t understand why the East Germans don’t close their border because I think they have a right to close it.” He was wrong regarding the four powers’ rights and five days later he apologized for giving “an unfortunate and erroneous impression.” But Kennedy, who did not dispute Fulbright’s mistake, evidently welcomed it.

After Aug. 13, an unsympathetic Kennedy, who never asserted the indisputable legal right of free movement of people throughout Berlin, told New York Times columnist James Reston that East Germans had had 15 years to flee to the West. Reston wrote that Kennedy “has talked like Churchill but acted like Chamberlain.” Clearly, there was a causal connection between Kennedy’s horrible 1961 and the Cold War’s most perilous moment — Khrushchev’s 1962 gamble on putting missiles in Cuba.

The Cold War ended 27 years later, when the Iron Curtain suddenly became porous, and the Wall crumbled. Tens of millions of East Europeans might have been spared those years of tyranny, and the West might have been spared considerable dangers and costs, if Kennedy had not been complicit in preventing the unraveling of East Germany.

Lame, stupid

Tea party’s stock is falling Cheer up. Not everything went down over the last two weeks.

Granted, most things did. The stock market tanked, government’s approval numbers fell, America’s credit rating slipped as if on a cosmic banana peel. All of which is predictable any time the world’s largest economy is driven to the rim of ruin while “leaders” bicker like kids in the back seat of the family car on a road trip across Texas. In August. With a busted AC. But in the midst of that bleak litany of decline, there was a bright spot. Indeed, one leading indicator registered a sharp uptick. For the f irst time, it seems, more than half the American electorate now holds a negative view of the tea party movement. If you’re wondering what that is a leading indicator of, the a n swe r i s s i m p l e : co m m o n sense.

The noteworthy thing about the CNN/ORC poll, which was conducted Aug. 5-7, is not simply that it found 51 percent of Americans now regard the tea party unfavorably, up from 26 percent when they first started asking this question in January 2010. No, what’s telling is where the dislike is coming from. You see, the spike does not reflect a change of mind from the tea party faithful. Approval numbers have remained relatively stable over the 19-month history of the survey, starting out at 33 percent, peaking to 38 percent twice, falling back to 31 percent this month.

to write an epitaph for American intelligence.

Not that one can afford to be sanguine about the fact that “only” one American in three supports the tea party. Still, there is something reassuring in the realization that we have not completely lost our national mind. Yet. As the world grows larger and more fiendishly complex there is, make no mistake, something seductive about loud voices and simplistic answers.

Especially when they demand nothing more of you than your capacity to feel frightened, angry and put upon.

Government is the enemy!

Taxes are unpatriotic! Re-education camps are being built! Death panels are raiding senior centers!

Obama wants to destroy the economy! It is distressing to see that such obvious, asinine fearmongering holds sway with a large number of Americans, amazing to know those fear mongers all but control a major political party, disheartening to realize they would rather wreck the economy than ding their ideological purity.

At the same time, it is encouraging to see evidence that some of us — most of us — yet retain the common sense for which Americans are renowned. Maybe there is hope for us after all.

To the editor: How could the J-W assign any other headline than "Unbelievably lame and stupid” to the story regarding the proposed “deal” to reopen the SRS office? Let me define how Chairman Flory and Mayor Cromwell must have discussed their buying into this scam.

Lame: Let’s not only let Brownback off the hook for his Legislature-defying decision, let’s abet in his overarching attack on women, the middle class and the working poor and look like heroes for “saving” the SRS office. We can cut other services to these people later and use our hero status in future campaigns as no one will remember the details!

Stupid: $450k over two years? No problem. We’ll cut food, health and other programs for the powerless (see above) next year. And if that gets sticky, we’ll take it from those fat-cat, overpaid city/county workers, school teachers and their staff! We don’t need to maintain our infrastructure, educate our children or pay a reasonable (benefit inclusive) wage for that work.

There would be plenty of money to fund SRS statewide if Brownback wouldn’t use state money, for example, for his fundamentalist-directed attempt to eliminate our legal right to abortion.

For 17 years I’ve been deluding myself that my community doesn’t elect these kind of right-wing idiots. My daughter is one year from kindergarten. Amid this economy, my family is searching for a home where we don’t need to deal with this nonsense, much less worry about whether or not evolution is taught. What’s the matter with Kansas?

tea, apparently, the tea stays drunk.

No, the fluctuation has come from those who previously knew nothing about the party. Twentyfour percent of Americans said in January of last year that they had never heard of it. Only 5 percent say that now.

As that number has fallen, tea party disfavor has risen.

To put that more simply: The Letters Policy more Americans learn about this The Journal-World welcomes letters to movement, the more they dislike the Public Forum. Letters should be 250 words or less, be of public interest and it. should avoid name-calling and libelous lanThat is good news for those who guage.

Global Propane fire tied to broken coupling ANDOVER — Investigators determined a fatal explosion and fire at a Butler County propane company occurred after a coupling broke, but they may never know its full cause, Andover Fire Chief Jim Woydziak said.

The Wichita Eagle reported the Aug. 2 fire and explosion at Global Propane killed Jeffrey Burnham of Wichita and injured two other workers.

The Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Office is leading the investigation into the blast.

Shortly before the explosion, Burnham was working around a truck carrying 200 cylinders that are typically used to power forklifts, Woydziak said. The truck was backed into an enclosure that had three walls and a canopy. The enclosure was used to fill the cylinders from a nearby 18,000-gallon tank, he said.

As Burnham, 40, was filling one of the cylinders, something caused the coupling to come loose from the cylinder. The hose immediately began flailing around as propane spewed from the end, Woydziak said.

The enclosure was probably filled with propane when a spark ignited the gas, he said.

“By the time it sparked, it had been spewing long enough that there was probably a very large fireball right there,” he said.

Big 12 vows to go on with or without A&M

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A day that began with rumors of Missouri joining Texas A&M in bolting the Big 12 Conference for the SEC ended with one message: The Big 12 wants to stay together, preferably with A&M on board.

In a statement released Saturday night, the Big 12 said it “strongly conveyed to Texas A&M its unanimous desire that it remain a Big 12 member, and acknowledged its value to the Conference.” In addition, the

statement said the league “is prepared to aggressively move forward to explore expansion opportunities” and “recognizes the strength of the Big 12 Conference national brand and the opportunity to capitalize on it.”

Later Saturday night, Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little released her own statement, which came after a conference call of Big 12 presidents and chancellors that followed a similar call between the Big 12’s athletic directors and commissioner Dan Beebe.

“The University of Kansas is

committed to the Big 12 Conference and its success,” Gray-Little’s statement read. “We fully support the efforts of the conference to remain strong and competitive, including the active pursuit of additional membership in the event of a departure.”

Not surprisingly, Gray-Little’s words echoed those uttered by KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger on Friday.

“Sheahon Zenger and I have been in regular contact with conference board members, the commissioner and others to ensure KU’s interests are pro-

tected,” Gray-Little continued.

“We are going to do what is in the best interest of the university (and) our student-athletes and fans. Maintaining a vibrant Big 12 is in KU’s best interests.”

KU’s two most visible leaders have worked closely together on this matter during the past few days.

As for the specifics of Saturday’s activity, sources with knowledge of the conference call between the ADs and Beebe told the Journal-World that the tone of the call was pleasant and more about solving the problem

together than picking each other apart.

“I think nine (member schools) is an option,” UT AD DeLoss Dodds told Kirk Bohls of the Austin (Texas) AmericanStatesman. “I think nine are solid. I think 10’s a good number.

In my mind, we’d try to stay at 10.

If we had to, we’d go to 12.”

Sources said it was believed by all parties involved that the Big 12 would survive as long as everyone was up front and honest.

Publicity Photo

ACTOR WILL FERRELL, WHO WAS THE LEAD in the 2006 comedy “Talladega Nights,” bears a resemblance to KU offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson, teammates say.

Jayhawks say tackle looks like Ricky Bobby

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World File Photo

KANSAS OFFENSIVE LINEMAN TANNER HAWKINSON, FRONT, and the offensive linemen work on technique during practice in this photo from April 25 at the KU practice fields.

Kansas University junior offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson resembles somebody who appears regularly on the big screen.

That person is ...

“Ricky Bobby,” said KU junior safety Lubbock Smith, referring to actor Will Ferrell, who played race car driver Ricky Bobby in the 2006 comedy, “Talladega Nights.”

“Hawkinson came in the ’08 (recruiting) class with me. Since I’ve known him, I’ve called him Ricky Bobby. Every time somebody sees him they say, ‘What’s up Ricky Bobby?’

“I tell him all the time: ‘You’ve got to be No. 1,’’’ Smith added, referring to Ricky Bobby’s line: “If you ain’t first, you’re last.”

McPherson native Hawkinson, who at 6-foot-6, 293 pounds is a bit larger than the 6-foot-3 Ferrell, takes the ribbing in stride.

“I’m used to it by now. I’ve

been hearing that since my freshman year,” Hawkinson said. “It’s kind of a second-nature thing.”

Good thing Hawkinson is a Ferrell fan.

“I love Will Ferrell. He’s a pretty funny guy,” said Hawkinson, who would love to meet Ferrell.

It wouldn’t be a huge stretch, since Ferrell figures to visit Allen Fieldhouse for a basketball game, considering he’s a buddy of KU fan/fellow comedic actor/former Shawnee Mission West hoopster Jason Sudeikis.

“I’d maybe pull out some of his lines to see if he could see a resemblance or something,” the bearded Hawkinson added.

The easy-going Hawkinson happens to be one of KU’s fiercest competitors on the field.

He’s a three-year starter who this year has moved from left to right tackle.

“It was a little awkward the first couple of practices just because of footwork,” he said of the switch. “It’s gone really well.

Relative unknowns Steele, Dufner share PGA lead JOHNS CREEK, GA. (AP) — Brendan Steele and Jason Dufner at least can make a name for themselves in the PGA Championship. Until that big trophy is handed out today, however, this major remains very much a mystery.

How will they handle the pressure of the final round?

Can they safely navigate through the four-hole finish, considered among the most brutal of any course?

And just who are these guys, anyway?

Rarely has a major championship contained so much inexperience at the top going into the

final round. Steele is believed to be the first rookie since John Daly in the 1991 PGA to play in the final group of a major.

Steele, already a winner this year on the PGA Tour and No. 121 in the world, showed remarkable poise Saturday by overcoming a double bogey on the seventh hole. He ran off four birdies over his next seven holes, and not even a safe bogey on the 18th could take away from a 4-under 66 to give him a share of the lead.

He is tied with Jason Dufner, who, at 34, is still looking for his first PGA Tour win. Dufner, stoic as ever with a chunk of tobacco jutting out from his bottom lip,

atoned for a pair of three-putt bogeys on the back nine with back-to-back birdies. He only missed one green in the third round and shot 68.

They were at 7-under 203, one shot clear of Keegan Bradley, a 25-year-old rookie who also won earlier this year. Bradley, playing in the final group, opened with a double bogey, which might have been expected given his inexperience. He also bounced back with remarkable resiliency, playing bogey-free on the back nine and rallying for a 69.

Now comes the hard part.

Never mind that only one of the top 10 players in the world is

within four shots — Steve Stricker, who shot 69 and was three behind. Or that Tiger Woods, defending champion Martin Kaymer and British Open champion Darren Clarke all missed the cut. Or that U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy blew up in a round of 74 and was out of contention.

Atlanta Athletic Club is the kind of course that can take shots away without notice. Jim Furyk discovered that by putting three balls into the water on the last four holes for a pair of double bogeys.

“Wishy-washy play is not going to get it done,” Steele said

Woodland tied for 30th JOHNS CREEK, GA. — The 18th hole continues to vex Gary Woodland.

A day after a triple-bogey 7 on No. 18, Woodland, a Topeka native and former Kansas University golfer, shaved two strokes off that hole but still bogeyed it in a round of 1-overpar 71 that left him tied for 30th after three of four rounds of the PGA Championship on Saturday at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

Through three rounds, Woodland is 1-over 211, but 4-over 16 on the 18th.

Woodland is eight strokes behind co-leaders Brendan Steele and Jason Dufner heading into today’s final round.

Cubs ban Zambrano for 30 days A T L A N T A ( AP ) — The Chicago Cubs placed Carlos Zambrano on the disqualified list Saturday and said the right-hander would receive no pay and have no part in team activities for 30 Zambrano days.

Zambrano cleaned out his locker and left the

team after giving up five homers and being ejected from Friday night’s 10-4 loss to the Braves. He did not return to the team Saturday.

General manager Jim Hendry said Saturday that Zambrano’s actions, including a brush-back pitch to Chipper Jones that led to the ejection, were “intolerable.”

“This was the most stringent penalty we could enforce without a release,” Hendry said.

Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster had similarly strong words.

“He’s made his bed. Let him sleep in it,” Dempster said.

“It’s not like it’s something new.”

Hendry said Major League Baseball and the players’ association would discuss Zambrano’s statements about his baseball future.

Cubs manager Mike Quade said Friday night that Zambrano told team personnel he might retire.

“There’s not much worse than running out on your teammates in the middle of a ballgame,” Hendry said on a conference call.

Hendry said he apologized to Braves general manager Frank Wren for the actions by Zambrano on the same night Atlanta honored former manager Bobby Cox. Zambrano was ejected by plate umpire Tim Timmons in the fifth inning after throwing two inside pitches to Jones, the second going all the way to the backstop.

The brush-back pitches followed homers by Freddie Freeman and Dan Uggla.

COMMENTARY

Kiawah Island ready for 2012 PGA

FOOTBALL ANYONE?

By Ron Green Jr. The Charlotte Observer

JOHNS CREEK, GA. — To give golfers, a masochistic group by nature, a sense of what the 2012 PGA Championship will be like this time next year at Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course in South Carolina, resort operators ran a recent promotion inviting players to test themselves against the Pete Dye-designed course as it will be set up for Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson and Mother Nature next August.

That meant playing the Ocean Course from 7,693 yards, longer than any major championship course has ever played, and being asked to keep it between the dunes, off the beach and away from any gators that may be sunning themselves. Of the 1,000 or so who took the Ocean Course test, only 155 were brave or silly enough to step all the way back.

Of those, one player broke 80, shooting 78 with a scratch handicap. The lowest validated net score was 75 from a sixhandicap. It’s dental work without the Novocain.

This time next year, we’ll see what McIlroy and his mates can do.

For Kiawah Island Resort and the Ocean Course, the PGA Championship is an enormous opportunity. Twenty years ago, the Ryder Cup matches put the Ocean Course on the world golf map and next year’s PGA Championship is a chance to further establish the layout’s statue as a major championship venue, building on the 2007 Senior PGA Championship.

When the Ryder Cup was played at the Ocean Course, the place was new, carved onto a sliver of oceanside land dotted with dunes. It was unforgiving to the extreme but that worked for match play. It could have been a stroke-play blood bath.

Dye has softened and refined the Ocean Course over the years, making several visits in recent years to get it where he wants it.

That means a course that is more forgiving but still with its teeth, especially if the sea breeze blows as it’s supposed to in August.

The PGA, though, is about more than just the golf course. In the same way organizers sold the first U.S. Open at Pinehurst as a statewide event, they’ve taken a similar approach in marketing the first men’s major championship in South Carolina.

From Greenville to Columbia to Charlotte, the tournament has been sold to both businesses and individuals.

It means capitalizing on what works for football games at Clemson and South Carolina — getting fans to drive in for the day.

Approximately 75 percent of the tickets have been sold within the state border.

The result will be the earliest sellout in the tournament’s 95-year history. Already, 94 percent of the tickets have been sold and when organizers reopen ticket sales after this year’s event ends, they expect the names on the waiting list will gobble up the remaining tickets.

Wisely, they have limited spectator attendance to 30,000 daily, substantially lower than the 40,000 or more at some events. The Ocean Course isn’t easy to traverse with its out and back routing winding through dunes. The goal is to make it pleasant for the spectators, down to misting stations to keep them cool.

“We want people to be able to see the golf and to enjoy it,” resort president Rodger Warren said.

That’s been the goal at Kiawah Island all along.

FANS SIT IN A LARGELY EMPTY SECTION in the rain before an NFL exhibition game between the Carolina Panthers and the New York Giants on Saturday in Charlotte, N.C.

Eagles DT Patterson returns after seizure BETHLEHEM, PA. — Ten days after suffering a seizure, Eagles defensive lineman Mike Patterson was back on the practice fields at Lehigh, although his participation was limited to conditioning.

Coach Andy Reid said the defensive tackle was still being evaluated by doctors and had permission only to work out. But the coach intimated that Patterson could return to action soon.

“He’s got to get himself back into shape,” Reid said. “It’ll probably be a week or so as we’re looking at it now.”

Patterson declined an interview request but said that he felt good. A day after his seizure, the Eagles said the likely cause was an arteriovenous malformation near Patterson’s brain. Patterson’s agent, J.R. Rickert, said Friday his client was likely to play football again this season.

NFL Burress talks shooting, prison NEW YORK — Plaxico Burress says in an interview for HBO’s “Real Sports” that he “lost count” of how many times he cried in jail and didn’t know who New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was until after the wide receiver accidentally shot himself in 2008.

Burress, now with the Jets after signing a one-year, $3 million deal with them two weeks ago, went to prison for 20 months on a gun charge after the incident. He says during the interview, which airs Tuesday, that he didn’t realize at first that he had shot himself in a leg in a Manhattan club until he saw his white sneakers turning red.

The interview includes Burress’ attorney, Benjamin Brafman, and his wife, Tiffany, also an attorney, who predicted her husband would end up having to serve jail time.

Alvamar hosts qualifier ————

Ex-Jayhawk Thompson to vie for berth

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Picturesque, power golf swings and sweet putting strokes will stock both Alvamar courses Monday, when competitors will try to go low enough to qualify for the Midwest Classic, a Nationwide event scheduled to tee off Thursday at Nicklaus Golf Course at Lions Gate in Overland Park.

Former Kansas University golfer and Lawrence resident Chris Thompson, who has qualified for one Nationwide event this summer, will be in the field of potential qualifiers Monday.

He enters the qualifier on fire.

Confident that he’s playing the best golf of his career, Thompson qualified for a Nationwide event in Omaha, Neb., and made the cut two weeks ago, but did not qualify for this weekend’s event in Springfield, Mo. Instead, he played in the three-round Northwest Arkansas Open, an Adams Golf Pro Tour Series event. Tied going into Saturday’s final round, he blew away the field, firing a 10under-par 62 to finish 22under, seven strokes better than the second-place finish-

ers and one stroke shy of the Lost Springs Golf and Athletic Club course record.

Thompson was 7-underpar over the final seven holes, carding an eagle, five birdies and a par to finish the back side with a 29.

“I feel like I’ve had a good year,” Thompson said. “No excuses. I’ve got the qualifier at my college home course, and I love Lions Gate.”

Some golfers will choose the longer, more wide-open public side, others the tighter private course, which requires precise positioning off the tee and more strategic decisions than the “upstairs” course.

The low seven scores from the public and the low seven from the private qualify.

Thompson initially was leaning toward playing the tighter course, but in the end decided to play the public side.

“Obviously, I’ve played both courses a lot,” Thompson said. “I’ve played tournaments on the public, but I don’t think I’ve ever played a tournament on the private side. It’s easy to hit drivers when you’re just freewheeling with your friends, but there are some pretty awkward tee balls. I think playing upstairs is a lot safer option.”

The Monday qualif iers move on to play in the $550,000 Midwest Classic and will vie for the $112,500 firstplace prize money, roughly $100,000 more than Thompson’s check for winning in Rogers, Ark. Thompson predicted that a 67 on the public and 68 on the private should be good enough to at least make a playoff for a qualifying spot.

Matt Gogel, a former Kansas University golfer and PGA Tour pro, holds the Alvamar public course record of 64.

“I think it has a chance to go down,” Alvamar pro David Dunn said. “The country club’s going to play a little harder. I expect the guys who have course knowledge to play well down there.”

Former KU golfer Ryan Vermeer, now a teaching pro at Oak Hills Country Club in Omaha, Neb., brings course knowledge and will play the private side.

Spencer Wilson of Golf USA in Lawrence and Alvamar assistant pro Tyler Henderson will play the private side. Their Monday morning tee times: Wilson 7:45, Vermeer 10:09, Henderson 10:27.

Thompson tees off upstairs at 7:45.

Chisox edge K.C., end skid CHICAGO (AP) — Paul Konerko hit a two-run homer, and Tyler Flowers added his first home run in the majors to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 54 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.

Konerko went deep in the third, and Flowers added a solo shot in the fifth to help the White Sox snap a sevengame home losing streak.

Flowers also had a single and a walk.

Juan Pierre had three singles and scored two runs for Chicago.

Jesse Crain (7-3) got the win in relief after pitching out of starter Jake Peavy’s jam in the seventh and his own in the eighth. Chris Sale got the last three outs, earning his fourth save.

Peavy allowed four runs 2 and nine hits over 6 ⁄ 3 innings.

Luke Hochevar (8-9) took the loss, allowing eight hits and five runs in six innings.

It’s not that big a transition.

Same terminology, same technique, just opposite sides.”

Hawkinson’s consistency pleases the pre-sports-management major’s coaches and teammates.

“He moved over to right tackle and has done a really good job of being stabilized there and doing a good job of run-blocking and pass-protecting,” coach Turner Gill said. “He’s definitely a leader as far as the offensive line.”

Noted wide receiver Daymond Patterson: “Tanner is really good. He started here as a tight end, moved to defensive tackle then offensive

He had won four straight decisions and hadn’t lost in eight starts dating to June 21.

Billy Butler stroked a tworun single for the Royals, and

Johnny Giavotella added two hits and an RBI. The White Sox have won seven of last their last nine, but they had lost seven straight at U.S. Cellular Field by a combined score of 54-17.

The start of the game was delayed by 1 hour, 25 minutes due to thunderstorms that moved through the Chicago area late Saturday afternoon.

There was another delay of 42 minutes prior to the start of the eighth.

The White Sox took the lead with a two-run seventh.

Carlos Quentin drove in the tying run with an RBI double into the left-field corner. Alejandro De Aza forced in the go-ahead run with a bases loaded walk.

Both runs came with Royals reliever Aaron Crow on the mound, but both were charged to Hochevar, who issued a single and a walk to start the inning before being pulled.

called upon to answer whether they would be interested in joining the Big 12 should the opportunity present itself. Each gave the same answer: We’re happy with where we are.

With a meeting of Texas A&M’s board of regents looming Monday, and Texas lawmakers set to meet Tuesday, one source said the whole thing boils down to one simple truth. “If it’s A&M’s decision, they’d be gone. But nothing’s a done deal.”

One of the biggest reasons why is the presence of the Texas legislature, which has a strong interest in keeping Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech together.

Although some reports have indicated that Monday’s meeting of A&M’s board of

regents could include a vote to accept an invitation from the SEC, no actual offer has been conf irmed, and one Texas lawmaker said any such action would be frowned upon.

“It’s my understanding, based upon conversations with A&M officials, that the A&M Board of Regents is meeting to authorize the president to enter into negotiations with the SEC, assuming the SEC extends an offer to A&M to join the conference,” Rep. Dan Branch said. “It is not my understanding that they are meeting to complete or accept an offer to the SEC. To finalize such an action before giving legislators a chance to ask some questions would be inappropriate, highly inappropriate.”

tackle. No matter where he’s been, he’s worked his tail off.

“He had a great summer. He is in really good shape right now. He is a guy a lot of people are going to have to look out for. He’s relatively new to the position, but each and every game he’s gotten better.”

Hawkinson sees great improvement in the offense entering year two of the Gill regime.

“Everyone is so much more comfortable with everybody,” Hawkinson said. “We have a great feel for the coaches, and they have a great feel for us.

It’s been over a year now.

We’re so much more far ahead than we were last year. We are more comfortable with everything. We’re kind of used to the change.”

More than anything,

Hawkinson wants to earn victories his final two years here.

The native Kansan’s mother, grandfather, two brothers and a sister attended KU. “My dad went to K-State, but I don’t think he has too much a problem with me being here,” Hawkinson said, laughing. “I grew up a KU Jayhawk fan. My grandpa has had season tickets as long as I can remember. I’ve been coming up to games forever. Having my older siblings go to school here ... it’s great to be part of the Jayhawk family.

“I’m definitely proud of the team and university. I want to represent the state of Kansas and University of Kansas well.

The only way to do that is win some games. We have some goals. The first is McNeese State,” he added of the Sept. 3 opener in Memorial Stadium.

After a couple of months of pool parties, Red Dog Days, vacations and backyard barbecues, the youth of Lawrence is heading back to school. For weeks, grocery stores and shoe outlets have advertised back-to-school specials — spiral notebooks, mechanical pencils and two-forone deals have taken over the seasonal aisles all over town.

And back-to-school shopping doesn’t stop at new binders and school supplies. Lawrence retailers notice an increase in business from the young and fashion-forward teens and young adults looking to update their school wardrobes with new clothing and accessories of the latest style.

THE CLOTHING RACKS at Wildman Vintage are packed full of vintage items perfect for back to school. The blue blouse is part of the shop’s recently acquired 1960s and 1970s vintage dead stock, unworn vintage clothing purchased from another store.

“

When in doubt, know that a dark, slim pair of jeans always looks good.”

— Bodie Agada, KU student fortable clothing and classic basics are school wardrobe essentials. Well-made denim with a good fit tops most every school-goer’s list.

“This fall denim is clean. Distress just isn’t as important as it once was,” says Shauna Swanson, denim guru and manager at Hobbs Inc. “Skinny jeans are still important, as are straight-leg jeans. But this fall we are excited because flare and boot-cut jeans are showing up in full force. And while denim is a staple — always

will be — khaki is huge for fall 2011.” Khakis have been around a long time, but the rise in popularity may be reflective of the times.

“I think that people are ready to mix it up a little,” Swanson says, “and khaki is an easy way to do that.”

Indeed, many students in Lawrence are branching out to define their back-to-school look.

“Urban Outfitters has outlined major fall trends for their shoppers on their website,” says Garrett McGraw, men’s department manager. “If you’re drawn to a particular style, you can easily create an outfit and know it’s hip.”

ARTS NOTE KU grad’s work in Charlotte St. exhibit The Charlotte Street Foundation will present “The Fascinators: The Inaugural Charlotte Street Biennial of Regional BA/BFA/MA/MFA Candidates.”

This biennial is a new effort designed to showcase the work of outstanding artists emerging from colleges and universities within a 200-mile radius of Kansas City and to connect these up-and-coming artists.

Six artists were chosen from a pool of nearly 100 applicants, including Jacob Banholzer, who graduated from Kansas University in May with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture. His

JESSIE PLOTKIN, the manager at Envy, 911 Mass., says that feather earrings are the hottest item in their shop right now. “Each week we sell out of the feather hair extensions, and the earrings are also popular. Many girls wear one long feather earring and one stud earring.”

like “Art Student League,” a preppy/academic womenswear look, and “Marine Nationale,” a classic menswear look with a utilitarian, naval twist.

To create a more distinct back-to-school style, vintage shopping is popular among Lawrence’s student population. During the summer, shops utilize their brief reprieve from the larger Kansas University student population.

“We stuff the store with merchandise over the summer,” says Holly Charlton, Wildman Vintage employee.

“We stock up on western shirts, skirts, accessories … everything that’s awesome.”

The shop appeals to the college crowd, and when the students return they can expect a huge array of unique merchandise.

“This year we’ve done something a bit different, too,” says Wildman Vintage owner Phil Chiles. “We purchased dead stock inventory from a clothing store. We have tons of unworn pieces from the ’60s and ’70s.” Here especially, Chiles is right on trend, as ’70s silhouettes and wide-leg trousers re-emerge as a popular style for fall 2011.

Not unlike Wildman Vintage, other local shops are prepared for student shoppers. “We’ve stocked up on backpacks in a variety of styles and colors from The North Face and Patagonia for the upcoming school year,” says Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop manager Jen Beck. “In terms of jackets and fall apparel, we should be expecting great outdoor brands such as The North Face, Patagonia, Columbia and Marmot to start trickling into the store as the weather cools down.”

Sunflower caters to high school and college students, selling popular backpack brands and lifestyle apparel.

And while fall marks a change in the realm of fashion, it also represents a fresh start, clean books, blank slates.

And KU student Bodie Agada is ready to hit the books and sport a fresh, new style. “I’m going to pick up transitional pieces in consideration of our extreme

WHAT’S IN STYLE Here’s a quick list of fashion dos for this fall. Remember, your entire wardrobe doesn’t have to come from a brand new outlet. Secondhand or vintage clothing have a personality all their own and are usually cheaper.

Teenage girl claims place in American lit once owned by men

Cristi Hansen, hydrologist, Lawrence “’Disgrace’ by J.M. Coetzee.

It’s about a professor who gets accused of having an improper relationship with his student and he chooses not to fight it and goes off to live with his daughter.“

By Jim Higgins

Kylie Jackson, Medicare researcher, Lawrence “’Hounded’ by Kevin Hearne.

Jacqueline Soto, customer service representative, Lawrence “’The Fountainhead’ by Ayn Rand. It’s about architecture and how a man gets rejected by society because he stands by himself; he’s an individual.”

as “I imagined it might be.”

Then she shared it with her friend Gary Peake, a master shooter. “No way,” he told her, after reading the manuscript.

“Some of the shots I had her doing were a bit much,” Campbell said. “I had certain ones in the woods and he pointed out in the woods you get the dappled light and it’s very hard to focus.”

Peake “tried all the shots in the book, showed me his targets when he tried to do what Margo did,” she said.

Campbell already had a Marlin bolt-action rifle, but after she finished her novel, her husband, Christopher, bought her Margo’s gun from the book: a Marlin Model Golden 39A lever-action rifle.

“The lever-action is really the cowboy gun,” she said.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MEQUON , W IS . — In a fractured, polarized America, the woman who could bring us together picks black raspberries and tends donkeys in western Michigan.

This summer, Bonnie Jo Campbell published her novel “Once Upon a River” (W.W. Norton, $25.95) to wide acclaim and many comparisons to one of the American greats, Mark Twain. With its teenage heroine making her way along a Michigan river with a Marlin lever-action rifle, “Once Upon a River’ could be read enthusiastically by both National Rifle Association and National Organization for Women book clubs. Both groups would find much to like and provocative questions to discuss in her novel.

“Without sacrificing any of its originality,” Washington Post book critic Ron Charles wrote, “this story comes bearing the saw marks of classic American literature, the rough-hewn sister of ‘The Leatherstocking Tales,’ ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ and ‘Walden.”’

“It’s a little overwhelming when people make big comparisons,” Campbell said during a recent interview, conducted on the day she visited Mequon’s Next Chapter Bookshop for a reading.

“There’s no room in this writing life for anything but humility.

“We don’t know what the good books are for years and years and years.”

But we do know that Campbell is about as distinctive as her crack-shot heroine. Bright enough to attend the University of Chicago, and just a cosine short of her Ph.D. in mathematics, she likes to forage the Kalamazoo countryside for wild food and practices kobudo weapons training.

While she had published earlier fiction, Campbell’s literary star rose when “American Salvage,” her collection of stories about rural life from the small Wayne State University Press, was named a surprise National Book Award finalist in 2009.

Campbell had parted from her agent before that collection came out, and she had wondered more than once if anyone was ever going to read what she wrote. “Within three days” after the nomination, “I’d gotten emails from 50 agents.”

She’d already finished a

draft of “Once Upon a River,” and her new agent moved quickly to get it on a publishing calendar.

Mythologizing a teen girl In “Once Upon a River,” Campbell said she was “trying to mythologize a teenage girl. All that (literary) territory is owned by men, so I thought let’s see what my girl can do.”

The two books that served as her whetstones were Twain’s “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and Homer’s “Odyssey.” To Campbell, Margo and Odysseus are both trying to get home — Margo in the sense of trying to get to her mother, who left her earlier.

As a young girl, Margo’s equivalents of the battles Odysseus fought are the relationships she has along the river, Campbell said.

In rereading “Huck Finn,” Campbell said, she was surprised to see how little of the river is in it.

“I wanted to write as much of the river into it as I could,” she said. Margo’s, and Campbell’s, river is the real Kalamazoo and a suitably named imaginary tributary, the Stark River.

In her New York Times review, novelist Jane Smiley praised Campbell’s “ruthless and precise eye for the details of the physical world.”

“The damaged world she lives in remains an ecosystem in which animals and humans, field and stream, purity and pollution, love and hate are tightly interconnected.”

Her book is set in the years between 1978 and 1982, when GM plant closings hurt the Michigan economy and had a

ripple effect on small factories and parts makers, like the one in “Once Upon a River.”

Margo, 14 when the story begins, lives with her father after her mother has walked out. She is molested by her uncle. When his actions are discovered, he tries to throw the blame on her.

“His molesting was not as horrible a crime as the result of what he did. He made her an outcast,” said Campbell, choosing her words carefully.

“I think that’s something that often happens to girls in that situation.”

The quiet, self-contained Margo has her revenge later, but its consequences include the loss of her father, and rather than go into state custody, she sets out on the river in a rowboat with her rifle and a copy of Annie Oakley’s biography.

Through almost compulsive practice, Margo has virtually become one with her rifle: “She reloaded the Marlin with fifteen of the long-rifle cartridges she’d carried from Cal’s gun cupboard and listened for a moment to the river. Holding the rifle steady would have been easier with a sling, but she held her arm up until her body remembered it as a natural position.

She hit the next can and each can after that, and she reloaded and knocked all the bottles from their perches.

And in that several minutes of intense focusing, she felt peaceful. Margo lowered the gun, pressed the barrel against her face to its heat. “‘Holy (expletive deleted),’ Brian said. ‘A guy has got to respect that.”’

In writing the novel, Campbell put the shooting in

Finding her calling Campbell has been writing since she was 14, but if not for the right teacher, she might never have composed this book.

She planned earlier in life to become a middle-school teacher, then a math teacher.

She and her husband even spent a year living in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood, while she took some classes at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Later, Campbell had already taken half of her preliminary Ph.D. exams in mathematics at Western Michigan University, but “found myself pretty much crying every night,” she said.

Her math adviser, Art White, knowing Campbell’s interests, suggested she take a writing class.

That class, with novelist Jaimy Gordon, opened Campbell’s eyes and set her on her literary path.

“I thought you wrote to tell stories and you just told them how you could tell them most efficiently. I really was a rube,” Campbell said. Gordon taught her to care about every word and to choose the right one, she said.

In a delightful coincidence, Gordon won the National Book Award for her novel “Lord of Misrule” in 2010, the year after Campbell was nominated. WMU should sell bottles of the local water to creative writing departments around the country.

With her tough rural tales, her country lifestyle, vigorous hobbies and muscular appearance, Campbell is already a distinctive character in her field. She may be well on her way to becoming the Chuck Norris of literary fiction.

Campbell laughed at that thought, then acknowledged that she has been known in boisterous moments to “wrestle guys to the ground for the fun of it.

“I’m going to become a parody of myself if I’m not careful.”

Kidding aside, readers can be grateful that Campbell turned away from math to wrestle with the American literary tradition.

‘Humiliation’ explores appetite for embarrassment

By Kelly McMasters Newsday

Julie Holmberg, violin teacher, Lawrence “’Life Together’ by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It’s about the life of a Christian community and has to do with the Christian life together.”

N E W Y O R K — It’s nearly impossible to avoid humiliation — everyone has felt the sting of shame at some point in their lives, and we bear witness to mortification daily in the press (think Anthony Weiner, Eliot Spitzer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lindsay Lohan and “Bachelorette” Ashley Hebert, to name a few).

In “Humiliation” (Picador, $14 paper), Wayne Koestenbaum — poet, critic and professor of English at City University of New York — mixes history, philosophy, memoir and wit for a timely and withering assessment of America’s appetite for embarrassment. In a recent telephone call, Koestenbaum discussed the link between torture, two-timing and yoga.

Q. The book tracks everything from quotidian indignities to celebrity sex scandals to major human rights violations. Why does this mix all read as humiliation to you?

A. To be humiliated is to be debased. I was really struck by the fact that one nation could get so much pleasure or sanctimonious satisfaction out of covering sexual scandals on one hand, and then on the other hand be caught using sexual torture with Abu Ghraib. I noticed every time I looked at the paper, there was something about sexual humiliation and it seemed to be very much a part of our national identity. These were the big American stories.

Q. Your book is as much about those who have been humiliated as about those watching the act of humiliation.

A. There are various spectatorial decisions around the humiliated one. I wanted to talk about the weird sense of complicity, identification, joy and shameful viewing that come with watching someone else’s humiliation.

Q. What is the most common type of humiliation?

A. When the stink of the liverwurst emerges! We all have a built-in disgust toward the human body.

There is not a human being alive who has not felt the stink of their being revealed

at some point of their life.

Q. How has the Internet changed humiliation in our society?

A. The Internet is the highway of humiliation. The worst kind of humiliation is when an entire community knows about the shame and has marked or expelled you, and that happens instantly on the Internet. The small town now includes millions of people. There is no hiding.

Q. You’ve melded cultural critique and lyrical, personal writing here. Why this staccato, confessional style?

A.As a poet, this form comes naturally to me. Sometimes, I wish I were a writer who had secrets and who could maintain a certain level of decorum, but I feel I don’t have a choice; if I am going to write the best book I can write, it has to be disclosing.

Poet’s Showcase ‘The Uncivil War’ The iron of my musket is cold and cruel and eager as I take aim at a gray uniform.

Was it just yesterday I fired a cannon across that there creek, sending a ball sailing through an officer’s tent?

The explosion was a lightning crack reeling me backwards but I pushed up and cheered when I heard the death screams.

Eighth Kansas reporting for duty, sir.

Well done, lieutenant, carry on.

Cottonwoods, battered by artillery, weep for men strewn like straw on a field.

I thought by now the horror had numbed me.

I don’t want to cry, so I take a swig from my canteen and wonder how momma is doing with the farm.

Said she’d have to sell it; can’t do the crops alone.

I feel bad about momma, But then I think about them other mommas, the ones whose sons got killed, and for a moment, an eternal moment, I’m there shielding a flickering candle as their sobs cascade over stone monuments.

— Tom Mach, Lawrence

RICHARD RENNER is the organizer of the fourth annual Lawrence Busker Fest. A performer in his own right, Renner hopes this year’s festival will be the biggest and most varied yet.

Promoters ready for 4th annual Busker Fest

By Michael Auchard Special to the Journal-World

To listen to Linsey Lindberg speak, the most honest entertainment in the world is coming soon to Lawrence in droves.

“A lot of times, if you buy a ticket to a movie, you pay for the performance in advance. If you don’t like it, you’ve already spent your money. At a busking show, only afterward do they decide what it was worth,” says performer Lindberg, a Kansas City native.

The fourth annual Lawrence Busker Festival returns to downtown Lawrence from Aug. 19 to Aug. 21 with a multitude of street performers, musicians and other surprising entertainers.

Lindberg, who performs as strongwoman Mama Lou, a character who “rolls frying pans up like burritos,” says she has always had a penchant for the circus style of entertainment.

“I didn’t want to be an obnoxious clown on the street, and being an aerialist didn’t seem like it would work well. I needed to collect tips, and I decided to be scary so no one would steal from me. I’m actually really strong, so I decided to be a strongwoman and thought, ‘Now, nobody will be able to steal my money.”

Promoter Richard Renner says the idea for the Lawrence Busker Festival is completely home-grown. To the uninitiated, he describes busking as an eclectic mix of street performances, a wide range of “unique, unusual and useless skills.”

“It started with me walking around downtown, taking a look at the street performers we had, and thinking — ‘God, we can do better than this,’” Renner says. “Knowing that downtown is a good venue for street performing, as street performer myself, I could see the potential there, but there weren’t the performers. I thought: ‘Let’s make other performers aware of this.’”

Renner hopes this year’s incarnation of the Busker Festival will be the largest yet, and the most varied.

“What we’re doing is that we’re actually making the stages bigger,” he says. “Before, we’ve had two big stages and

VOLER: THIEVES OF FLIGHT, an aerial performance arts group from Kansas City, Mo., will perform its unique aerial ballet during the Lawrence Busker Fest, which is Aug. 19-21. The performance ensemble has performed previously in Lawrence during a Final Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. several little ones. We’ve eliminated a lot of the little ones now, and we’ve got three big stages at Eighth, Ninth and Tenth streets.

“Over on Tenth Street are the aerial artists that have been in front of the (Lawrence) Arts Center. They have their own rigging, and they’ll do aerial acts from the rigging. That’s kind of a big deal. We’ve got more artists coming from out of town than ever.”

Renner says besides the multitude of both scheduled and unscheduled street performances, the highlight of the festi-

val will be a fundraising event at 7 p.m. Thursday at Abe & Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., benefiting Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Douglas County. This preview event of the “best buskers we have to offer” will showcase a wide array of talent such as acrobatic juggling, sword swallowing, fire dancing and much more.

There will also be showings of the film “Busking the System,” a documentary about street performances in New York City that will be screened Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H., and Saturday

and Aug. 21 at the Granada 1020 Mass.

Renner hopes the festival will appeal to the entire Lawrence community. He says the wealth of entertainment possibilities should draw in a diverse crowd.

“It’s a good demographic for kids and moms and dads,” he says. “ But, I will say this: as the night gets going, yeah, then it changes over, a bit, more to the younger crowd. But, we have workshops for kids at the Lawrence Arts Center on Saturday morning to help teach them juggling and miming and hula hooping. Then as things are going later in the night, the fire acts start showing up. You don’t really want the kids doing that.”

Among the numerous local and national acts performing at the festival will be Overbrook resident Tommee Sherwood’s band Zydeco Tougeau.

Sherwood describes the three-piece band’s sound as “high-energy, accordion-driven dance music.” He says the Lawrence Busker Festival offers a unique opportunity to a street band like his.

“We’re looking forward to the enthusiasm of the crowd. It’s the one time of the year when people are coming to listen to us.

Usually, we play to people who are on their way somewhere else.

We do this quite a bit and we get good crowds, but it’s just different.”

Sherwood says the festival is a good showcase for a plethora of art forms that many Lawrence residents don’t see on a regular basis. His band has performed at all four years of the Lawrence Busker Festival.

“I think it’s a different

I’m looking forward to that. Just being out there and having a good time.”

Jennifer Smith/Special to the Journal-World

IT'S NEVER too early to start preparing your garden for fall. Plant frost-resistant vegetables such as kale, spinach and radishes. Lay off fertilizer, as many of these plants have low nutrient requirements.

Fall offers second chance for cool-season crops M

id-August is the time in my vegetable garden when both my plants and I are feeling a little tired.

The tomatoes, although still producing, have lost some of their vigor to heat and fungal disease. The sweet corn and cucumbers have produced all they are going to produce. The squash was sacrificed long ago to squash bugs and squash vine borers.

There is still plenty of time to garden this year, though, and a few days of lower temperatures remind me that fall is on the way. I already have a space set aside for radishes, lettuce and spinach. I also hope to plant kale and carrots to last into the winter months.

To prepare for planting, I plan to work the soil only lightly. Tilling at this time of year will only cause more moisture loss from already dry soils. I

am also holding off on fertilizer since many fall crops have low nutrient requirements. Fertilizer can be applied later if plants need it. I just want to get rid of what remains of the weeds and loosen the soil surface enough to plant easily.

Starting seeds in August is sometimes difficult, so I also plan to plant the seeds just a tiny bit deeper than I would in the spring. I will water heavily

before and after planting.

Soaker hoses work best to allow water to soak deeply into the soil. Seedlings should also be watered until their root systems develop. Once plants reach a few inches tall, wait until they wilt before applying water again. Deep and infrequent watering builds drought tolerance and encourages deeper root growth.

Leafy greens can be harvested as soon as they are large enough to eat. Although some people prefer to pull the plants and trim the roots, I simply cut the leaves and leave the roots in the ground. This method allows for several cuttings of leaf lettuce and spinach in a season. Some gardeners report a different flavor on later cuttings than on the first, but it is a matter of personal preference.

Spinach, like kale and car-

rots, can withstand some frosts.

All of these vegetables will last longer if mulch is placed around the plants. Carrots can be left in the ground until the soil starts to freeze.

What else can be grown in fall? Most of the cool season crops that are grown in the spring will also grow in the fall.

Two exceptions are peas and potatoes. Peas prefer cooler soils for germination. Snow peas grow better in the fall than other varieties but still generally with limited success. Potatoes grow well in the fall, but seed sources are a challenge.

Few garden centers or supply dealers carry seed potatoes in mid-summer. If you have sprouted potatoes in the pantry, they are probably your best bet for a fall crop.

Turnips often grow better in the fall than in the spring and can be left in the ground like carrots. Beets will also with-

stand light frost.

First frost usually occurs in mid- to late-October. Tender (warm-season) plants can be covered with baskets, blankets, or buckets for the first frost or two to extend their season.

Row covers may be used with hoops (to keep the cover from contacting the plants) to extend the growing season even longer.

Just the thought of a fall garden is making me hungry for salad.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Wedding cups in 15th century style making comeback

By Terry Kovel

The wedding cup that looks like a woman holding a swiveling cup above her head is showing up at modern wedding celebrations.

The cup is used for a toast and as a trial for the bride and groom. According to tradition, the earliest swivel cups were made in about 1450 in Nuremberg, Germany. A wealthy nobleman disapproved of his daughter’s choice of a husband, a goldsmith. The father had the goldsmith sent to a dungeon, but the girl became ill and her father finally agreed to a test for her beloved. If the goldsmith could make a chalice that two people could drink from at the same time without spilling a drop, the pair could wed.

The goldsmith made the the swiveling cup and they were permitted to marry. Today the cups are being made again and a newly married couple must drink from the cup at the same time to assure a happy marriage.

The lady-shaped cup is turned upside-down and the husband drinks from the skirt, the wife from the small cup that has now swiveled to be right side up. It is a difficult but possible task, and happiness is, of course, assured. Look for old cups made of silver or glass. Several were offered this year at the Stein Auction Co. for $700 to $2,400. Reproductions can be found online.

Q:

I own a beautiful Kroehler buffet that belonged to my

grandmother. She and my grandfather bought it when they were first married, decades ago. I have never used it, and it’s in great shape. Now I would like to sell it. What should I ask for it?

your own city. What you can get for it depends on its style, age and condition.

Assuming your buffet dates from the 1930s or ‘40s, you could try asking $500, but you probably will have to settle for less.

A:

Q: We own an old Hires Root Beer countertop barrel dispenser. It’s wooden and encircled with six metal hoops. It has one large spigot on the side and two metal signs. The large red sign on the front says, “Drink Hires, It Is Pure.”

The plain small sign on the back says, “Loaned by The Charles E. Hires Co., Philadelphia, U.S.A., No. 15294.” What can you tell me about it?

A: Charles E. Hires (18511937) was a Philadelphia

Peter E. Kroehler bought the Naperville (Ill.) Lounge Co. in 1902 but didn’t name it Kroehler Manufacturing Co. until the early 1910s. By the 1940s, Kroehler was one of the largest furniture manufacturers in the United States. It struggled through the 1970s and closed its Naperville factory in 1978.

The brand still exists, but the original company closed.

Generally, it’s a good idea to sell a large piece of furniture locally. So advertise it in

pharmacist when he developed his own root beer concoction in the 1870s. Dispensers like yours (with either a copper or ceramic lining), as well as ceramic dispensers with pump tops, were used at soda fountains to pour syrup into a glass or mug. Your dispenser probably dates from the first few decades of the 20th century.

We have seen similar dispensers for various brands sell for $400-$500. But the value also depends on the condition of your barrel.

Tip: Tufted Victorian pieces covered in dark velvet need to be dusted in each tuft, a time-consuming process. Consider reupholstering without tufts, a style also done in Victorian times.

THIS GLASS TOASTING CUP decorated with colored enamel and gilding is 11 inches high. It sold for $2,300 at a 2011 Stein Auction Co. sale in Schaumburg, Ill. Cowles Syndicate Inc. Photo

Stop offering opinions on relationships

Dear Annie: My sister-inlaw, “Robyn,” is also a dear friend who has been part of my life for 20 years. Robyn is now in her 50s and has two children — one by a married man who dumped her, and the other by a loser who abandoned her.

Robyn finally married a stable co-worker, but they divorced after six years. Since then, she has dated a lot, but the relationships never work out, and she always has some kind of crisis.

The problem is, she asks for my opinion, but when I am not supportive, she stops talking to me. I’m tired of it. I can’t work up the energy to care anymore, and I no longer want to be involved in her drama. Her current beau is a guy who was convicted of stalking his exgirlfriend and breaking into her home. I told Robyn this relationship is doomed, but she said she was not interested in my unsolicited opinion and I should not contact her again.

Robyn often stops speaking to me, and I’ve had enough. I miss our friendship, but don’t want to be her punching bag. If dating these losers makes her happy, that is her choice, but I am hurt that she once again has turned away from me because she knows I am right. When she decides to rekindle our friendship, is it OK if I choose not to speak to her? — See the Forest for the Trees Dear Forest: Sure, but it seems a little spiteful, especial-

ly if you are hoping to one day be friends again. Instead, scale back enough to be less aggravated. If, after all these years, Robyn does not realize that she makes rotten choices, your criticisms will only make her dig in her heels. In order to change, she would likely need therapy. Stop offering your opinion. If she demands it, tell her she is a big girl now and can make her own decisions. Her mistakes are not yours to fix.

Dear Annie: I wholeheartedly disagree with your advice to “Confused,” whose brother’s wife and sister’s husband had an affair.

Snubbing their spouses would be no less hurtful for the siblings than if she just stayed away. In fact, it’s better if she stays home. That way, her family can enjoy a pleasant day without the constant reminder of the past that Confused’s uncivil behavior

Foxx goes with the ‘Flow’ Produced by Jamie Foxx, “In the Flow With Affion Crockett” (8 p.m., Fox) kicks off with a seemingly improvised hip-hop number tailored to members of the studio audience. It then dives into its main theme, sketch comedy, with a long and belabored filmed bit featuring Crockett as a beleaguered and forlorn Tiger Woods attempting a comeback at a miniature golf course.

It sounds funnier than it is.

“Flow” returns in its regular time slot next Sunday at 9:30 p.m. Repeats will air on Saturday nights at midnight, a time that seems more appropriate to this venture. ● As long as man has created science, there have been efforts to make science seem cool and trendy to the nonscientific.

The latest arrives on “i.am.FIRST -- Science Is Rock and Roll” (6 p.m., ABC). This one-hour special features highlights from the 20th annual FIRST Robotics Championship, hosted by will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas fame.

This yearly contest pits robotbuilding teens from various schools. FIRST stands for “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.”

The festival gathers 30,000 students, educators, engineers and business leaders at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis to celebrate students’ engineering skills and to enjoy musical performances by The Black Eyed Peas and Willow Smith. There are also special appearances by Justin Bieber, Jack Black, Bono, Miranda Cosgrove, Miley Cyrus, Josh Duhamel, Britney Spears, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake and Steven Tyler.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): overseas tax havens, Albert Pujols, the “Top Gear” phenomenon. ● Musical stars gather at the “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock” (7 p.m., ABC). ● High noon at midnight on “True Blood” (8 p.m., HBO). ● Natalia’s kidnapper can’t keep his trap shut on “CSI: Miami” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Jesse vanishes on “Breaking Bad” (9 p.m., AMC). ● Boar necessities on “The Glades” (9 p.m., A&E). ● Larry plays the hero on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (9 p.m., HBO). ● The gang engages in spin control on “Entourage” (9:30 p.m., HBO).

Sunday series “Big Brother” (7 p.m., CBS) ... “Minute to Win It” (7 p.m., NBC) ... Cheech asks Homer to replace Chong on “The Simpsons” (7 p.m., Fox) ... A trip to Paris on “Family Guy” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

“Same Name” (8 p.m., CBS) ... Two hours of “The Marriage Ref” (8 p.m., NBC).

would generate.

The parents have obviously accepted their children’s decisions to stay in their marriages and have moved past the pain.

They attend family events with decorum. Why can’t “Confused”? If she persists in making things difficult for her siblings, she will find herself on the outside looking in. — M. Dear M.: A lot of readers agree with you, and we suspect part of the problem was our use of the word “snubbing.” Many readers interpreted that to indicate nastiness, when it is just the opposite. Social snubbing means behaving with extreme polite-

ness, while remaining slightly aloof. It is an acceptable form of reproach when someone has behaved terribly.

The siblings (and parents) have many reasons to forgive the spouses, but it is not realistic to expect everyone else to be so generous. And “Confused” cannot learn to accept these mended relationships if she refuses to be present at family events that will allow her to do so.

Debbie was diagnosed with a brain tumor in April 2011.

She handled her illness with faith and dignity and never considered herself sick. She was a living example of understanding God’s plan and pleasing him.

Debbie had a special love of life and lived it with unwavering faith. She made several pilgrimages to Italy and was present for the canonization of her patron saint, Padre Pio. She loved the Catholic Church and was active in the RCIA program for nine years.

She graduated from Wheaton North High School and Kirkwood Community College with a degree in Nursing.

Debbie is a constant reminder to us that His plan is so very easy to understand. Pray, hope and don’t worry.

WFP expands relief work in famine-hit Somalia

By Katharine Houreld Associated Press Writer

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA — The World Food Program said Saturday that it is expanding its food distribution efforts in famine-struck Somalia, where the U.N. estimates that only 20 percent of people needing aid are getting it.

Some of those from the outlying regions have walked for days to the capital for help, only for it to be too late.

In the pediatric ward in one of Somalia’s best-equipped hospitals, a shriveled baby lies motionless on a crowded ward; a doctor said he weighs less than he did at birth. Doctors push a feeding tube down

the nose of a skeletal 3-yearold, his body covered in sores.

Mothers lay their babies between the cots on the floor because there are no beds left.

Benadir hospital lacks equipment, nutritional supplements and even beds, but it’s a refuge most of the families here have walked for miles to get to, carrying children who got weaker by the hour. Many arrive too late to be saved; both Ali Abukar, the baby, and Ibrahim Abukar Abdi, the 3-year-old, died shortly after The Associated Press spoke to their mothers.

That’s why aid agencies urgently need to increase their efforts to reach families beyond the Somali capital, said

Valerie Amos, the U.N.’s top humanitarian official, on Saturday. Wastelands in the battlescarred capital are being transformed into makeshift camps as families move in and set up shelters, hoping for help.

The U.N. estimates that 2.8 million Somalis need food aid, and 2.2 million of them live outside the capital in areas controlled by Islamist rebels, who have forbidden many aid agencies to work in their territory, including the U.N.’s World Food Program. But WFP is already getting aid to some areas in southern Somalia that had been inaccessible a month ago, said one official.

“We are expanding our activities in Mogadishu and

we are looking to dramatically increase those activities over the coming days and weeks as the security situation in the city permits,” said Stanlake Samkange, the WFP regional director in East and Central Africa. More aid was getting to southern Somalia as well, he said.

But it’s hard enough to distribute aid in the capital, controlled by pro-government forces with the help of 9,000 African Union troops. At least 10 people have died this month in shootouts when aid agencies attempted to distribute bags of maize or grain, and competing militias fought over the site. Much of the food ended up being looted.

Joyce Ann Krones Joyce Ann Krones, RT(C) (CVIT), 52, passed away at her home in Lawrence, KS, on August 4th after a two-year battle with cancer. Her family and beloved dog Daisy were at her side. A Memorial mass will be held at 10am at St. John’s Catholic Church in Lawrence, KS., on Saturday, August 20th. Interment will be at a later date.

Joyce was born on May 26th, 1959, to Leo G. and Marcella (Sally) M. (Lambert) Krones. She was proceeded in death by her father, her paternal grandparents Joe and Marie (Reilly) Krones as well as her maternal grandparents Russell and Helen (Tholen) Lambert. She is survived by her mother, her son Joshua A. (Sally) Pedraza of Lawrence, KS, and his daughter Eve; her daughter Samantha B. Pedraza of Oklahoma City, OK; her sister Susan (Stan) Kitten of Slaton, TX; her brother John (Kriss) Krones of Lawrence, KS; and sister Brenda (Liam) Riggs of Lawrence, KS. She is also survived by six nieces, one nephew and a large circle of aunts, uncles and cousins.

Joyce graduated from Gilman High School and she received an Associate

of Applied Sciences degree from Kankakee Community College.

She worked at Krones Texoma Medical Center in Denison, TX, as well as several hospitals in the Kansas City area. Most recently, she worked at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Lawrence, KS. Joyce was licensed in Kansas with certification in cardiovascular interventional technology.

Joyce was an animal lover. She volunteered for Operation Wildlife and the Lawrence Humane Society.

She was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church in Lawrence. She also traveled extensively. She enjoyed spending time with her family and her French bulldog Daisy and was an avid reader.

The family requests memorials be sent to: LMH Oncology Center, 330 Arkansas, Suite 105, Lawrence, KS 66044.
