Charity head once was jailed for theft

For what it’s worth: Downtown

Tonganoxie’s Purple Heart Veterans Foundation founder and his brother have checkered pasts

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A felony theft conviction, multiple arrests and a police report about assaulting an employee.

The more you dig into the Tonganoxiebased Purple Heart Veterans Foundation and its fundraising contractor, the worse it looks for the charity that’s been collecting donations in front of local businesses.

Representatives from several nonprofit watchdog groups expressed concerns about the organization in an Aug. 7 Journal-World article after an investigation showed that only Andrew Gruber 11 cents of every dollar donated goes to support veterans, which is the stated goal of the nonprofit. In addition, nearly 80 percent of the $540,000 raised by the charity in 2010 was paid to a fundraising business, Independent Promotions, run by foundation director Andrew Gruber’s brother, Scott Gruber.

Further investigation has revealed that Andrew spent time in a Kansas prison for felony theft after pleading guilty to stealing a rental car in 2000. Gruber was sentenced to probation and restitution in Please see CHARITY, page 7A

TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS MOVE ABOUT MASSACHUSETTS STREET during the afternoon on Friday. The value of Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence increased by $32.5 million over the last 10 years, according to an analysis done by the Journal-World. The Journal-World collected data showing the change in property values, tenants and ownership of every building along Massachusetts Street from Sixth to 11th streets.

Property values, taxes both made significant gains over past decade carnival. It’s also a real estate development. Those 19th century buildings that line the streets all have owners, all pay taxes and many have had a long list of tenants come and go.

The Journal-World has gathered a host of data about Massachusetts Street and how it has changed over the last decade.

At LJWorld.com, you’ll find a database and map that lists every Massachusetts Street address from Sixth to 11th streets. It lists the names of the owners of the buildings — not just corporations but also the people who own those corporations, in many cases. It lists current property values and how much they have changed since 2001. It shows which buildings are primarily owned by local residents and which ones are not.

OK, so maybe we’re not great at geometry, because undoubtedly Lawrence’s public square is not a square at all.

Massachusetts Street — specifically, six straight-as-an-arrow blocks as it runs through downtown — has long been the city’s gathering place.

Sidewalk diners, a rooftop Santa, streetside flower planters, outof-town license plates in search of that elusive parking space.

Then there are the people. Honk for hemp, a guitar-picker with an overturned hat, a parade of grocery cart-pushers, a moped-riding go-fer whom everyone calls Toad.

It is easy to forget that Massachusetts Street isn’t just a public

And it even provides a bit of a trip down memory lane, listing what businesses existed on the street in 2001.

So, we invite you to take your mouse for a stroll down Massachusetts Street. (You realize we’re talking about your computer mouse.

While you are waiting for the computer to warm up, here are some facts and figures we culled from the project.

Business, property owners weigh in on issues

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The Journal-World at the beginning of its project to chronicle the changing nature of downtown Lawrence invited four prominent property owners and businessmen to participate in a roundtable discussion.

In mid-July, the following shared their thoughts and concerns about downtown Lawrence:

! Doug Compton, the president of Lawrence-based First Management Inc., and the largest property owner on Massachusetts Street. ! George Paley, a former downtown retailer who has bought multiple properties throughout the city with an emphasis in the downtown area. ! Earl Reineman, a longtime Lawrence retailer who is a vice president with Weaver’s department store.

! Bob Schumm, the owner of Buffalo Bob’s Smokehouse, a city commissioner and a downtown landlord.

Here’s a look at several issues the group discussed.

General health of downtown Reineman: “I think it is in a comeback phase,” he said, although he agreed that the economy had presented multiple challenges to downtown, especially retailers.

Schumm: Said he largely agreed with Reineman’s assessment. “About a year ago, though, I was pretty worried with the number of vacancies that were occurring,” he said. But he said the fact that there are also multiple vacancies in outlying strip centers in Lawrence suggests to him the vacancy issue is more of a broad economy problem than Please see ROUNDTABLE, page 2A

the value of Massachusetts Street from Sixth to 11th has grown by $32.5 million. # $437,600 is the median value of a building on Massachusetts Street. In 2001, the median value was $273,400.

That equates to a 60 percent increase, or about 6 percent per year for the last decade. # $13,520 is how much that average-valued commercial building would pay in property taxes in 2011, based on current tax rates. That means whatever merchants are in that building need to sell at least $1,126 worth of stuff each month just to pay the property taxes.

In 2001, the averagepriced commercial building in downtown paid $623 in property taxes each month.

That’s an increase of 80.7 percent for the decade. That rate of increase was nearly 3 times the rate of inflation, which was 28 percent for the decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. # Any guesses on the highest-valued building along Massachusetts Street? Perhaps the iconic Eldridge Hotel? No. Then, the U.S. Bank Tower that tops the down-

town skyline? No. When it comes to value, think newer.

The building that houses The Gap, of all things, has the distinction of being the highest-valued building in downtown. The building at 643 Mass. also is home to Chicos, Deciphera Pharmaceuticals on its upper floors, and a host of offices including those for Gene Fritzel Construction.

The property, owned by a group led by the Fritzel family, is valued at $5.1 million.

Here’s a look at the top 5 valued properties along Massachusetts Street: 1. 643 Mass. $5.1 million 2. 911 Mass., which includes Chipotle, Fed Ex, Safee’s and various offices: $3.1 million.

3. 701 Mass., The Eldridge Hotel: $3.0 million 4. 900 Mass., the U.S. Bank Tower: $2.7 million 5. 645 and 647 Mass., which include Claire’s, Coldstone Creamery, Starbucks, and Winfield House: $2.5 million.

Note: The Journal-World’s corporate offices and printing plant have frontage along Massachusetts Street. It was not included in this database because its address is 609 N.H., and it does not take access off Massachusetts Street. It has a 2011 appraised value of $3.0 million. # What about the other end of the scale, you ask? Here are the five lowest-valued buildings

Downtown events and a pedestrian mall Paley: Said he came back from downtown Iowa City recently thinking: “Why couldn’t we close two blocks on Eighth Street” to convert it into a public gathering area.

Schumm: Notes that one of the features of the new library is a grass plaza area.

In terms of Eighth Street, he said traffic flows could be concern. “I would lean towards looking at it and taking public comment about it. We don’t have a very good gathering area in downtown.”

Reineman: Said he would love to have a defined gathering area but said he is concerned about “contributing to a perception that is already out there” that access is difficult in downtown. “I would have to think long and hard about closing any streets.”

Paley: Said closing any part of Mass. would be problematic, but he suggested closing one block of Eighth Street on both sides of Massachusetts and maybe making Seventh street a one-way street and either Ninth or 10th Street a one-way. “Everything took a long time here. Staying open on Sundays, angled parking. But if people would just stop and think for a moment: When Aunty Martha comes to town, they don’t take her to Walmart. They take her to downtown. Why they then go home and forget about downtown for anything else?

I don’t understand it.”

Compton: Said he knows people would like to have a gathering place downtown.

Said he got a lot of comments about his new development at Ninth and New Hampshire streets taking the place where downtown movies have been shown in the past. “I got beat up over that.”

Development in good years On why downtown didn’t see more development during the good years of the 2000s. In particular, questions about why the Downtown 2000 project in the 900 block of New Hampshire saw rather lackluster private development until just recently.

Schumm: “For a long time we had one of the best games in town,” Schumm said. “We had a real downtown. Someone along the line, they read our book.” He said new developments like The Legends near the Kansas Speedway in western Wyandotte County that are made to look like a downtown have hurt Lawrence’s downtown. “That has drawn away a lot of our customer base.”

Reineman: Reminds people that South Iowa Street

Going up, up, up # The average increase in value for a Mass. Street property was 6 percent a year, or 60 percent for the decade. But there were many properties that saw a lot larger increase than that. Many were the site of new developments. Here’s a look at the five largest percentage increases in value over the decade: 1. 945 and 947 Mass., which include Ingredient restaurant and multiple apartments: 299.4 percent.

Who owns Mass. Street? # When it comes to people, Lawrence businessman and apartment magnate Doug Compton is the top owner of Mass. Street property.

Compton either individually or as part of a group owns at least 12 Massachusetts Street properties, according to ownership and corporate records from the Douglas County Courthouse and the Kansas Secretary of State’s office.

But Compton is not alone in having a heavy stake in Mass. Street. Others who own significant amounts of property — again, either individually or through a partnership — include: $" George and Judy Paley, who started out as retailers with the old Natural Way store, 9 properties. $ Various members of the Fritzel family own four properties, including three of the five Mass.

was developing at this time period too. “There’s a lot of retail out there.”

Compton: Said he thinks Schumm “is exactly right” about The Legends. “Drive through there sometime and count the Douglas County tags. It is scary.”

National retailers It is noted, though, that The Legends has quite a few more national retailers than Downtown Lawrence. Why have more national retailers landed in downtown, and is that good or bad?

Paley: Said national retailers are more in a closing mode than an opening mode at the moment.

Schumm: Said national retailers have a bad feeling about downtowns everywhere.

“They don’t look at Downtown Lawrence any differently than the 200 downtowns that have been bombed out and are trying to get a Bed Bath & Beyond or something. They are about taking the guesswork out of any decision. We have multiple owners they would have to work with. We don’t have any consistent store hours here. We try, but chains are really looking for that consistent package.”

Reineman: Said national retailers are a close-knit group, and they know the national chains that have been in Lawrence “have not been high performers.” “Lawrence is not yet a big community.

There is a big difference in the eyes of a national retailers between a community of 85,000 to 90,000 people and a community of 120,000.”

Downtown hours Paley: Said he thinks part of the discussion for downtown has to include more consistent hours and later hours. “I think you have to give those people going to Kansas City or Topeka (to work) a chance to come back downtown and shop.”

Reineman: Said if Weaver’s felt it could be profitable by staying open later it would stay open later. Said Thursday evening hours have become less significant over time rather than more significant.

Compton: Said he has tenants, like The Buckle, that do well after 5 p.m. He said the shopping environment has changed since he was a retailer in downtown in the early 1980s. “In the ’80s you used to be able to shoot a cannon off after 5 o’clock in downtown. Now, you’re not going to get a place to park.”

Rebels report attacks on Tripoli Libyan rebels said they launched their first attack on Tripoli in coordination with NATO late Saturday, and Associated Press reporters heard unusually heavy gunfire and explosions in the capital. The fighting erupted just hours after opposition fighters captured the key city of Zawiya nearby.

Gunbattles and mortar rounds were heard clearly at the hotel where foreign correspondents stay in Tripoli.

NATO aircraft made heavy bombing runs after nightfall, with loud explosions booming across the city.

“We planned this operation with NATO, our Arab associates and our rebel fighters in Tripoli with commanders in Benghazi,” Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, the head of the rebel leadership council, told the Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera. Benghazi, hundreds of miles east of Tripoli, is the rebels’ de facto capital.

Abdel-Jalil they said chose to start the attack on Tripoli on the 20th day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which fell on Saturday. The date marks the ancient Islamic Battle of Badr, when Muslims first fought for the holy city of Mecca in A.D. 624.

Iran sentences 2 U.S. men Nick Krug/Journal-World

Two American men arrested more than two years ago while hiking along the Iraq-Iran border have been sentenced to eight years in prison on charges that include espionage, state TV reported Saturday, a sharp blow to hopes their release was imminent.

The announcement seemed to send a hard-line message from Iran’s judiciary, which answers directly to the ruling clerics, weeks after the country’s foreign minister suggested that the trial of Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal could clear the way for their freedom.

It also was likely to raise speculation about Iran using the Americans as political bargaining chips and could bring added tensions to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s expected visit to New York next month for the annual General Assembly at the United Nations.

Authorities did not immediately confirm the report and made no further comment — although it was carried on Iran’s highly controlled state media, which is frequently used to make high-profile announcements.

Deadly flood was freak accident The flash flooding that killed four people and forced others to swim to safety or climb onto car roofs was a freak accident caused by heavy rainfall that overwhelmed the sewer system just as rush-hour traffic clogged low-lying city streets, officials said Saturday.

A mother and her two daughters died in Friday’s flood after becoming trapped in their vehicle and rising water pinned it to a tree. Another woman’s body was washed into the Allegheny River, where she was found Saturday morning.

Back-to-back storms pounded the city with 3 to 4 inches of rain. The water drained rapidly onto Washington Boulevard, a main street near the Allegheny River on the city’s east side, with a force too great for a pair of sewer pipes 9 feet in diameter. The torrent blew off 60-pound manhole covers.

“There’s only so much any drainage system can handle,” said Jim Struzzi, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. PennDOT maintains the roadway, but the city is responsible for the pipes underneath, part of aging sewer system.

The area’s topography presents near-perfect conditions for flooding.

The attack on Thursday set off a new cycle of Israeli-Palestinian violence. Israeli airstrikes have been answered by Palestinians pelting southern Israel with at least 80 rockets and mortars since Friday. An Israeli was killed Saturday in the desert city of Beersheba, about 25 miles from Gaza.

“Israel is sorry for the deaths of the Egyptian policemen during the attack on the Israel-Egypt border,” Defense Minister Ehud Barak said after Egypt threatened to withdraw its ambassador to protest the deaths of its soldiers.

The Egyptian government said late Saturday Israel’s apology was welcome, but not enough. Still, it reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to the peace.

State leader celebrates farmers’ markets

AL KAINE OF OVERLAND PARK LOOKS DOWN MASSACHUSETTS STREET as he listens Saturday to John Jewell, a retired educator, give a history lesson about Quantrill’s Raid on Aug. 21, 1863, during a walking tour. A couple dozen people participated in the tour, which stopped at various historic buildings in the downtown area that survived the raid.

148 years later, impact of attack still visible

The Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market proves the zoo isn’t the only place where visitors can see hundreds of different species in one place. There’s everything from broccoli to bok choy, from garlic to gooseberries.

In celebration of that diversity, Gov. Sam Brownback declared this August Kansas Farmers Market Month.

“Farmers’ markets form a connection between the community and the farm,” said Chris Wilson, Deputy Secretary of the Kansas Department of Agriculture.

Wilson was on hand Saturday at the market to celebrate Farmers’ Market Month. In an age where many people are removed from the farming roots of the state, it’s easy to forget that food does not come from the grocery store.

“It’s a benefit for people to recognize food comes from the farm,” Wilson said.

Wilson noted that Lawrence market is special because it is so large. There are between 60 and 70 venders on a given Saturday and around 100 who participate in the market throughout the year, said Tom Buller, marketing coordinator for the market.

There’s one legacy of William Quantrill’s Raid on Lawrence that doesn’t get much attention: limestone.

Walking on the 900 block of New Hampshire, amateur historian John Jewell pointed out the limestone foundations visible from the back of several Massachusetts Street buildings.

“Those were almost certainly built after the raid,” Jewell said. “They rebuilt the foundations out of limestone so they couldn’t be burned down again.”

Details like that make getting a tour from a local history buff special. Quantrill’s Raid happened 148 years ago today, and to mark the occasion about 40 people took a walking tour Saturday morning to learn how Lawrence’s downtown still shows signs of the devastating attack.

The tour began in front of the Watkins Community Museum of History at 1047 Mass., with the group meandering to

Hill Cemetery, at 1605 Oak Hill Ave., where there is a monument for the raid’s victims.

In all, about 75 percent of Lawrence homes were burned, and 200 men and boys were killed. There were no wood or nails for the coffins, so they searched through the burneddown buildings for materials to make them.

Because of the horror of the raid, we sometimes forget both sides of the Border War committed atrocities, Jewell said.

“The more I read, the less of an angel Jim Lane looks like,” he said, referring to the Lawrence historical figure.

Two years before the raid, Lane led men to Osceola, Mo., and burned most of the town to the ground.

“We talk about terrorism today, but terrorism was really rampant in northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri,” he said. “I would not want either John Brown or the border ruffians knocking on my door.”

Though Jewell covered just a few square blocks, there was plenty of history on the 90-minute tour.

Jewell stopped in front of an unassuming office building at 735 Mass. It didn’t look like a place where a community had regrouped after a massacre.

“This is where the Unitarian Church was. People came here to claim bodies,” Jewell said.

SOUND OFF

Q:

At one time there was talk of making the historic Grover Barn/ fire station into and Underground Railroad museum. It seems a shame for that building to sit empty. Are their plans by Freedom’s Frontier or others to make use of this important Bleeding Kansas era structure?

A:

As of yet, there is interest but no definite plans, Judy Sweets of the Underground Railroad Association of Douglas County wrote in an email.

The organization submitted plans to the city in 2006, but the proposal was tabled. She does not know of any further action by the city on that front. She added that the barn remains an important part of history, where John Brown led 11 freed slaves and a newborn baby before they escaped to freedom in Canada.

“This was Brown’s last trip to Kansas before his execution for his part in the Harpers Ferry insurrection,” wrote Sweets.

WICHITA

Aviation suppliers, subcontractors see booming business WICHITA (AP) — As orders for more commercial airplanes take off, Wichita area aviation suppliers and subcontractors are busy and making plans for more equipment, expanding some operations and hiring more employees.

The burst in commercial airline activity has been good for companies that work with such manufacturers as Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier.

The Wichita Eagle reported one example is Exacta, which produces parts for Boeing, is installing new assembly stations machines and planning to start running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“We love it,” said Casey Voegeli, Exacta director of business operations. “We want to take it on.”

The activity comes as commercial planemakers boost delivery rates and bring on new aircraft, such as Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and 747-8, Airbus’ A350XWB and Bombardier’s CSeries.

“The supply chain is strained,” Airbus executive vice president for engineering Charles Champion said in an interview from France after the Paris Air Show. “It will be even more strained by us, by Boeing, by Embraer and by Bombardier.... That’s going to be a challenge.”

Aircraft manufacturers took in more than $100 billion in new orders at the Paris Air Show in June. That includes

Airbus, which announced orders for 730 aircraft at the show. And last month, American Airlines announced an order for hundreds of Boeing and Airbus airliners.

Boeing and Airbus are slowly increasing production of narrowbody airliners — the 737 and A320 respectively — to 42 a month each to meet increased demand.

Jim Albaugh, Boeing’s head of its commercial aircraft division, has said the company could increase production to 60 a month by the end of the decade.

The demand for commercial airliners is good news for Wichita suppliers, which have struggled because of the economic downturn that hit the city’s business jet manufacturers.

“The message gets sent how bleak it is for Hawker and for Cessna and for Lear,” Voegeli said. “But I think everybody forgets what Boeing is putting out.”

The Wichita suppliers who do work for Boeing or Spirit are hiring, Voegeli said.

About 35 percent of Exacta’s work is for Boeing. It also has won work as general aviation planemakers shift more work outside their own companies, Voegeli said.

As a result, Exacta has hired 50 employees this year and plans to add 20 more by the end of the year. It now employs 180, more than it did before the economic downturn.

INJURY ACCIDENT • A 22-year-old Overland Park man was transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center on Saturday afternoon after sustaining injuries in an accident on Kansas Highway 10.

According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, the accident occurred when the man, identified as William Casey Miller, drifted off to the inside shoulder in the westbound lane of the highway. His vehicle struck the guardrail, causing Miller to lose control. He then struck the outside bridge rail before his vehicle rolled, eventually coming to rest on its wheels.

The accident, which occurred about 4:20 p.m. near the bridge over Lexington Avenue in Johnson County, shut down traffic in the area. The vehicle sustained moderate damage and the driver’s injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

A condition update for Miller was not available Saturday night.

Jurors in Kansas murder trial see grisly photos LYNDON (AP) — Prosecutors in the capital murder trial of a man accused of shooting his estranged wife, their two teenage daughters and the wife’s grandmother in northeast Kansas have shown jurors grisly photos of the victims after a coroner described their shootings as “execution-style,” done with ammunition effective at causing damage.

The display of the photos in the Osage County courtroom Friday caused a few spectators to gasp and one elderly woman to cover her mouth and whisper “God!” But defendant James Kraig Kahler did not look at them.

Forensic pathologist Erik Mitchell, coroner in neighboring Shawnee County, was the last witness prosecutors expected to call before formally resting their case Monday. Defense attorneys are to begin presenting evidence shortly afterward.

Kahler, 48, is a former city utilities director in Weatherford, Texas, and Columbia, Mo., who lost his job in Missouri in 2009 amid a contentious divorce, then returned to Kansas to live with his parents outside Topeka. The shootings occurred the weekend after Thanksgiving 2009 in the home of his estranged wife’s grandmother, just outside Burlingame, a town of about 930 residents some 20

miles south of Topeka.

Defense attorneys contend K a h l e r snapped COURTS mentally because of his pending divorce and because his wife was having a sexual relationship with a Weatherford, Texas, woman. Prosecutors have presented evidence that Kahler consented to the affair as it began in 2008.

Prosecutors, who also have presented evidence tying Kahler to the murder scene, contend the killings were premeditated and are seeking the death penalty.

“What we have here is execution-style,” Mitchell testified, though none of the victims was shot in the head.

The victims were Karen Kahler, 44; her grandmother, Dorothy Wight, 89; and the Kahlers’ daughters, Emily, 18, and Lauren, 16.

Law enforcement officers and emergency medical personnel have said Wight and Lauren Kahler identified Kraig Kahler as the gunman before dying.

The Kahlers’ son, Sean, now 12, also was at the scene but escaped without physical injury. He testified earlier in the trial that he saw his father shoot his mother.

Authorities also haven’t

found the murder weapon, a .223-caliber assault rifle.

They found seven casings for .223-caliber shells at the murder scene and a box for a .223-caliber rifle in the back of Kahler’s sports-utility vehicle after his capture.

Mitchell testified that a .223-caliber bullet is designed so that it is stable in flight but once it hits a body, it begins to tumble and cause tissue damage. Though Karen Kahler and her daughters each was shot twice, in each case one of the shots could have been mortal, Mitchell testified.

Wight was shot once.

“It’s designed specifically to transfer all its energy to the target,” Mitchell said of the semi-automatic rifle. “I find, personally, that it does so very effectively.”

Karen Kahler was shot in the leg, shattering an upper leg bone, and then in the back, damaging her liver, stomach and diaphragm, Mitchell testified. Wight was shot in the left arm, and the single bullet fired at her continued into her abdomen.

Mitchell testified that Emily Kahler was shot in the breast and back. He said she would have survived the first wound if it had been the only one, but the second one struck her spinal court and likely paralyzed her instantly. Lauren Kahler was shot in the back and buttocks, and

the bullets severely damaging her liver and intestines.

A Kansas Bureau of Investigation firearms examiner, Zachary Carr, testified that all seven shell casings found at Wight’s home were fired by the same rifle, but he couldn’t determine from his tests whether the cartridges had been cycled through a rifle magazine found in the ditch near where Kahler was arrested.

Prosecutors had Carr show off a .223-caliber rifle, borrowed from a crime lab in Iowa, that was the same model as the one they believe was used in the crimes. But defense attorneys objected when Osage County Attorney Brandon Jones twice referred to it as a “weapon.”

Defense attorneys are expected to raise questions about whether Kahler was too mentally ill at the time for the crimes to be premeditated or intentional.

WICHITA FRESHMAN NICHOLAS BEDDOW LEARNS HOW WAVE THE WHEAT with his fellow incoming freshmen during the annual Traditions Night at Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The annual event teaches new Jayhawks various traditions, such as the Rock Chalk chant, waving the wheat and how to clap to the school fight song.

Traditions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Those in attendance Saturday also heard from KU coaches Turner Gill and Bill Self, who stressed the importance of tradition and making the most out of the college experience. Self went so far as to say he wouldn’t mind trading places with any of the

new students.

Big Jay and Baby Jay also joined in the festivities, drawing laughs and even some cat calls from the crowd. When it came down to it, the night was all about the history and culture that’s been crafted over the years at the school.

Linguistics professor Allard Jongman sat in the stadium Saturday night, proud of the work KU has done.

“I think a lot of people take these things for granted,”

Jongman said. “It’s very hard to build them up. It takes many, many years.”

After the wheat was waved and the chalk was rocked, the new students filed out of the stadium, the entirety of their college careers ahead of them.

“I’m very set,” Bowman said.

Wilson also liked that while many career farmers bring in goods, there are also people who grow food on the side. Those people tend to grow unique fruits and vegetables you might not otherwise find.

According to the governor’s office, there were just 27 farmers’ markets in Kansas in 1987. There are now 102. For longtime advocates of local food, that growth in popularity illustrates why farmers’ markets deserve their own month.

“The Department of Agriculture has been very supportive,” said Mercedes Taylor-Puckett, a market coordinator.

She said various grants from the KDA have helped increase people’s access to the market, such as one allowing people to use food stamps there, and another helping seniors get access to market food.

While farmers’ markets have a reputation for being more expensive than the

beat grocery store prices for some items such as peas, cucumbers and lettuce.

“We need to correct all of those misconceptions about farmers’ markets,” said Taylor-Puckett.

Giffords Giffords now knows now who knows victims who of rampage gunman were

By Walter Berry Associated Press

PHOENIX — For months after the spasm of violence that shattered her world, Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shielded from the wider scope of that January morning, when a gunman shot her in the head, badly wounding her and 12 others outside a Tucson political event.

Trying to protect her fragile state, staff and family members didn’t let her know that six had perished in the Jan. 8 attack, including one of her most trusted staff members and a federal judge who was a close friend.

Just weeks ago, Giffords found out the truth, delaying a grief process the rest of the country had gone through months before.

On Saturday, a Giffords’ staffer confirmed that the Democratic politician was told by her husband in late July that those who passed away included her close aide Gabe Zimmerman; U.S. District Judge John Roll, a close friend; and 9-year-old Chris-

tina-Taylor Green.

The Arizona Republic first reported those details early Saturday.

News of Giffords who the victims were came to Giffords just days before her surprise Aug. 1 appearance on Capitol Hill to vote on the federal debt ceiling. Her loved ones had been keeping the scope of the tragedy from her until she was strong enough to handle it. “She knew for some time that six people had died and 13 were injured, including herself,� said Mark Kimble, who is Giffords’ new spokesman. “In late July, shortly before she went to Washington, she wanted to know more information, specifically about who had died. That’s when her husband told her.�

According to Kimble, only Giffords and her husband, newly retired astronaut Mark Kelly, were in the room when

Verizon workers going back to work, without deal

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

NEW YORK — Thousands of striking Verizon workers will return to work Tuesday, though their contract dispute isn’t over yet.

The 45,000 employees, who have been on strike since Aug. 7, agreed to return to work while they negotiate with Verizon Communications Inc. on the terms of a new contract.

The workers are employed in nine states from Massachusetts to Virginia in the landline division.

Among the issues in dispute is the company’s move to freeze pensions and its demand that workers contribute to their health insurance premiums. The company argues that it has to reduce benefits as the landline business deteriorates. More Americans are forgoing such lines in favor of mobile phones.

The employees’ unions say the company is profitable

and can afford to maintain the benefits.

For now, the two sides say they have narrowed their disagreements and have agreed on a structure for the negotiations. The workers will return to work under the terms of a contract that expired Aug. 6. “The major issues remain to be discussed, but overall, issues now are focused and narrowed,� the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers said in a statement.

Marc Reed, Verizon’s executive vice president of human resources, credited the company’s managers with “ably meeting the needs of our customers� during the 14-day strike. This enabled the company to “withstand the strike without significant disruption to customer service,� he said.

The company said it will “quickly address any backlog in repairs and unfulfilled requests for service.�

the congresswoman learned of the names of the six who died.

Later, Giffords gave her personal condolences to Zimmerman’s father during a brief telephone conversation on Aug. 7, the Republic reported Saturday. “It wasn’t very long, but it covered important things,�

Ross Zimmerman told the newspaper. “She said she felt awful about Gabe.�

The man charged in the rampage in Tucson, Jared Lee Loughner, has been at a federal prison facility in Springfield, Mo., since late May after a federal judge concluded he was mentally incompetent to stand trial.

Loughner, 22, has pleaded not guilty to 49 charges.

Mental health experts have determined he suffers from schizophrenia.

Meanwhile, the return of Giffords to Washington to cast a vote on debt-ceiling legislation fueled speculation about whether she’ll seek re-

election next year or run for a U.S. Senate seat.

Giffords, 41, hasn’t yet publicly revealed her plans for the future. She has been undergoing physical, occupational and speech therapy in Houston as part of her rehabilitation.

Ross Zimmerman recalled from his recent phone conversation with Giffords that “she still has some trouble with language, but there is no question that she can get her point across and her comprehension is 100 percent. “When she gets excited or stressed, it’s harder for her to put words together in sentences,� Zimmerman told the Republic. “That’s the thing that she has the most trouble with. She’s having to relearn language, and that’s tough.

She’s having to learn how to write with her left hand at this point. And now, she’s having to start the grieving process that the rest of us started back in January.�

Sign marks garage of ‘Deep Throat’ spot ARLINGTON, VA. — A nondescript parking garage where Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward met his Watergate source known as “Deep Throat� now has a historical marker.

WTOP Radio reports the historic preservation agency in Arlington, Va., quietly installed the marker this month. It was approved in 2008. Now it stands near the garage entrance.

This is the place where Mark Felt, the FBI’s second in command, met Woodward to discuss Watergate. Felt provided information that exposed the Nixon administration’s obstruction of the FBI’s investigation. The marker says they met at the garage six times in 1972

and 1973. Nixon resigned in 1974.

Felt revealed his role in 2005.

Historic Preservation Coordinator Michael Leventhal says the sign simply marks the site of a historical event.

the case but failed to make timely payments toward the $11,000 court-ordered victim restitution and missed numerous court appearances.

Gruber’s probation was revoked in 2004, and he served a six-month prison sentence.

A criminal record search with the state of Indiana also found Scott Gruber has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions for public intoxication, criminal confinement, domestic battery and criminal recklessness, as well as arrests for other offenses.

In addition, the records search found an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report from August 2010 detailing allegations that Scott assaulted one of his employees, who was raising funds at a Walmart for another nonprofit Andrew founded, Kids Vs. Cancer.

The employee alleges Scott assaulted and threatened him because the employee did not raise enough money during the shift. No arrest was made because the employee chose not to press charges.

“I need a job more than I need (Scott) arrested,” the employee said, according to the police report.

Andrew, who previously defended hiring his brother’s business for fundraising, did not return calls or emails from the Journal-World for this article.

The Journal-World was unable to contact Scott, whose company does not have a website or listed telephone number.

A guy she was with at the time practiced magic, and Ali loved magic. It was all sleight of hand stuff, and a bunch of people were all crowded around a table watching several performers at once, Klayder remembered.

But what really struck her was a big hand on her shoulder, and her reaction when she turned around and saw Ali, still in his prime. She found him to be funny and appreciative of the talents of the people all around him.

Legality?

While several nonprofit analysts who reviewed the tax forms for Andrew Gruber’s foundation didn’t see anything illegal in the operations of the charity, Gruber’s felony theft conviction could provide an avenue for action by county or state officials.

Kansas law governing charitable organizations gives county attorneys and the state Attorney General’s Office the option of filing a restraining order or injunction against a charity if anyone who solicits for the organization has a conviction based on “misappropriation, misapplication or misuse of money or property of another.”

Jeff Wagaman, a spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office said the office is “aware of the situation,” though he did not elaborate.

Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said he had not heard about the nonprofit and wasn’t aware of any investigation by law enforcement.

However, Thompson said his office would consider looking into options once he learns more about the situation.

“We’re more than willing to do something,” Thompson said.

Store level The Purple Heart Veterans Foundation was soliciting donations recently at two local stores, Walmart, 3300 Iowa, and Dillons, 1015 W. 23rd St. Walmart, based on the Journal-World’s investigation, has banned Gruber’s organization from soliciting in front of the store, said Ashley Hardie, a spokeswoman for Walmart. Hardie said it was unclear which other stores Gruber’s charities solicit in front of nationally, and she could not locate information about which, if any, other Walmart stores had banned Gruber’s charities. Hardie said which organizations are allowed to solicit in front of Walmart stores is decided at store level by the store manager, and organizations must provide proof of IRS tax-exempt nonprofit status.

A Dillons spokesman did not return Journal-World calls inquiring about the status of Gruber’s nonprofits solicitation of donations.

Laurie Styron, a nonprofit analyst with the American Institute of Philanthropy, advised donors to focus on well-established nonprofits, and she recommended avoiding donating to groups soliciting in front of stores, especially if they’re an unknown group.

“Don’t give on the spot,” she said.

Remains of missing man found in creek OLPE — The remains of an eastern Kansas man who disappeared nearly two years ago have been found in a creek bed.

Twenty-nine-year-old Brian Trester, of Neosho Rapids, was reported missing in late October 2009 when his truck was found stuck in a creek near Olpe, southeast of Emporia.

KVOE-AM reports that Lyon County sheriff’s deputies discovered a set of skeletal remains Aug. 11 in the creek bed about two miles downstream.

The remains had been exposed by prolonged drought.

The sheriff’s office said Friday forensic tests have confirmed the remains as those of Trester. It’s still not known how he died.

Debt burden Student loan obligations are making it difficult for many university graduates to financially get their feet on the ground.

H

igher education can be an investment in the future, but sometimes that future doesn’t look so bright for students who have accumulated large debts from student loans.

It’s one more factor in keeping higher education affordable for middle class students who don’t qualify for scholarship aid.

A recent Journal-World story looked at the case of a Kansas University student who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English and about $60,000 in debt. He’s now working full time at a local bookstore. He likes his job and it includes benefits, but the only way he can make ends meet is for his mother to pay half his $560 monthly loan payment.

Obviously, this student is not alone, especially in the current depressed job market. Too many students borrow money while they’re in school without a clear picture of how much their subsequent loan payments will be or whether they will be able to afford those payments on the salary they can expect to earn.

Student loan decisions are primarily the responsibility of students and their families, but Kansas University and the federal programs that support these loans should have a responsibility not to make it too easy for students to accumulate a debt that will be difficult to pay off. Making sure to alert students to the financial commitment they are making is the first step, but lenders also need to be realistic about the loans they are making.

Because it’s almost impossible for students to get out from under their loan debt by declaring bankruptcy, a key element of risk has been eliminated for the lenders. They know they will get most of their money back one way or another. That makes it a lot easier for them to make the loans without a realistic evaluation of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. A university degree could be considered collateral for a loan in that it supposedly enhances a person’s earning potential, but some degrees offer more potential than others, especially in this economy.

So what’s the bottom line? For too many students, the debt they incurred make them wonder, as our bookstore employee does, whether they should have gone to college at all. Tales like his serve as a cautionary tale — or even a strong deterrent — for students trying to decide whether to pursue a university degree.

Some of those students may choose to attend less expensive community colleges to earn freshman and sophomore credits or pursue an associate’s degree that has strong job potential. For some of them, that would be a good choice, but for others, it could be a significant loss not only for themselves but also for the state, which needs a work force that includes people with bachelor’s and advanced degrees.

The situation is something that should give state universities — and the legislators considering funding for those schools — food for thought. Growing costs are putting university degrees out of reach for many Kansas students. Increased scholarship money can help, but increased loans are a burden that can drag students down for years after they leave school.

Christie relishes American Caesar role TRENTON — Near the statehouse office of New Jersey’s 55th governor sits a sort of shrine to the 34th. Fortunately, Chris Christie is unlike Woodrow Wilson.

Christie, who resembles Falstaff in girth and Jack Dempsey in pugnacity, is a visceral politician who thrives on conflict. Wilson — lean, intellectual and pious, particularly about himself — regarded opposition as impious.

Wilson acquired the governorship, his first elective office, in January 1911, having learned about government mostly from books he wrote about it. (And he wrote “Congressional Government” without ever seeing Congress.) Eighteen months later he was the Democrats’ presidential nominee.

Christie’s only previous elective office was as county freeholder. But later, as the state’s only U.S. attorney, he became prominent while learning a lot about New Jersey’s gamey political culture by prosecuting some of the participants. This unsentimental political education prepared him so well for the governorship that today, in his 20th month, he is being importuned to seek the Republican presidential nomination.

He won’t. Here’s why.

He relishes being America’s Caesar — its most powerful governor. He wields a line-item veto, he can revise spending numbers but only down (he blocked $1.3 billion in spending this year), and can exercise a “conditional veto,” rewriting legislation and sending

was one of the “firstChristie rocks on which Barack Obama’s overrated political potency crashed. In 2009, Obama campaigned for Gov. Jon Corzine and against Christie in July, October and the Sunday before Christie won handily.”

it back to the Legislature for approval. The governor and the lieutenant governor, who run in tandem, are the only state officials elected statewide. The governor appoints the attorney general, treasurer, comptroller, all judges and all county prosecutors.

Understanding the first rule regarding political power — “use it or lose it” — he has flexed his institutional muscles. “I don’t want to leave my political capital in my desk drawer to frame when I leave.” A legislature, he says, “is almost genetically predisposed to inaction.” To get it to move on his combative agenda for taming

public employees unions, he held 30 town meetings in nine months — almost one a week.

The Democratic leader of the state Senate has been an ally.

Head of the local ironworkers union, he understands how much private-sector union members resent paying the taxes that fund the perquisites of public-sector unions.

As U.S. attorney, a federal employee, Christie paid 34 percent of his health care premiums, while state and local employees were paying 1.5 percent of their salaries. A $60,000 teacher would pay $900 for a $19,000 policy, with taxpayers picking up the other $18,100. This year the Democratic-controlled Legislature has agreed to cutting benefits for 750,000 state employees and retirees, increasing current employees’ health care and pension contributions, suspending cost-of-living increases and raising retirement ages. Projected savings: $120 billion over 30 years.

In the 10 years before Christie became governor, property taxes rose 70 percent, primarily to fund the local salaries, pensions and health care that mayors say account for 75 percent of their costs. Previous state administrations had raised taxes 115 times in eight years. Christie vetoed a “millionaire’s” tax which the Legislature said would raise $500 million, and with which the Legislature proposed to fund $3 billion in spending. Christie says, “I almost wanted to sign it to see

that magic happen.” The previous millionaire’s tax (which expired in 2009 and hit “millionaires” earning $400,000) followed the flight of $70 billion in wealth as “the rich,” including small businesses, left the state.

Taxing the rich is popular, but Christie told New Jersey: “If I let my foot off their throat on the millionaire’s tax, they’re coming after you with the gas tax.” That is, the 24-cent increase in the tax the Legislature can’t get past him.

Christie was one of the first rocks on which Barack Obama’s overrated political potency crashed. In 2009, Obama campaigned for Gov. Jon Corzine and against Christie in July, October and the Sunday before Christie won handily. No one outside of Washington has made more political waves in the last 20 months than Christie, and no one inside Washington has been as successful.

But he has four children, ages 8 to 17, he will not abandon for presidential politics. When he visited a workaholic aide during her difficult labor before her daughter was born, he said, “Put away your BlackBerry, you are in the middle of a miracle.” As subtle as a linebacker, as direct as an uppercut, Christie, explaining why he will not run, demonstrates why many wish he would.

When supporters argue, “You can’t say you’re not ready — look at Obama,” he replies: “Yea, look at him.”

The University Corporate and Research Park at 15th and Wakarusa YEARS was about to get a AGO new tenant. A comIN 1986 puter software company, WOS Data Systems Inc., was planning to lease space in the park around the first of the year. WOS developed database management software and fund accounting software. An official connected with the company described Lawrence as a “wonderful area” that he thought would become the “hightech center of Kansas.”

South Park was to play host to the Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships for the sixth year. About 80 contestants were expected to compete during the upcoming weekend.

‘Reality’ television brings out the worst One imagines the promo will pretty much write itself.

“Don’t miss a moment of the high fashion, high drama and hijinks as ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ returns for Season 2.

Join the pampered princesses of the world’s most famous ZIP code as they struggle with questions all the money in the world cannot answer. Can sisters Kim and Kyle repair their broken relationship after last season’s fight? Can Camille find happiness in her new life without Kelsey? And, what will Taylor do when she finds out her estranged husband committed suicide after seeing his private life played out as a cheesy soap opera to sell hemorrhoid medicine and feminine hygiene products to a mass audience?”

Maybe you find the foregoing an unsuitably cynical response to last week’s news that a fellow named Russell Armstrong hanged himself and that people around him blame it on the pressures of seeing his wife, reality star Taylor Russell, file for divorce as his finances crumbled (the Los Angeles Times calls him a “struggling entrepreneur” with a $12 million debt) and an audience looked on. But it seems to me the real cynicism is embodied in a TV show’s decision to treat people’s actual lives and misfortunes as entertainment. “‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,’ I think, was (Russell’s) downfall,” a friend named William Ratner told the Los Angeles

divorced. Singer Fantasia Barrino tried to commit suicide. Danielle Staub thought about it.

“I was very close to taking my own life — not just on one occasion — it’s been several times,” the former cast member of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” recently told “Entertainment Tonight.” ‘‘I don’t have words to describe how alone you feel when everybody’s coming at you and judging you — and they don’t even know you.”

Now there’s this. And you wonder if, even at this price, we will finally realize that other people’s lives are not a car crash we slow down to watch on the freeway.

This brand of television is the moral equivalent of those “bum fight” videos where homeless men are paid to scrap on camera and the video is posted online. There is something similarly predatory in searching out these troubled people, these drunks and narcissists, these self-centered, superficial plastic surgery junkies, these screechers and whiners and perpetual adolescents with daddy, esteem or anger management issues, and paying them to let us watch as they implode. There is something reprehensible in the watching, too.

“Reality,” they call it. Well, a man is dead and it looks like TV played a part.

Is that real enough?

Times. “The TV show put a lot of pressure on him to produce financially. You’re on a show with a couple like the Maloofs, who are verifiable billionaires, and you’re not.”

The reference was to “Housewife” Adrienne Maloof, whose family owns the Sacramento Kings basketball team.

“The program itself,” Russell’s mother, John Ann Hotchkiss, told CNN’s Headline News, “just really brought him down.” She said her son was constantly bashed on the show and could do nothing about it because the conflict generated ratings. “All the network cares about are ratings. They don’t — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 care how people feel.” Nor is Russell reality TV’s first meltdown. Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

In a three-part series on current conditions of city and county law YEARS enforcement faciliAGO ties, a JournalIN 1971 World writer noted that evidence storage rooms were overflowing to the point that police had placed some items — namely, confiscated marijuana — into unguarded, unlocked rooms. “In some cases, a person with a little ‘inside’ knowledge could walk right into the police department's ‘stash’ and make a good haul in forbidden fruit,” the article warned. Other complaints about the current police headquarters were what an architect called the building's “miserable” design.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 21, 1911: YEARS “Forty-eight AGO years ago IN 1911 Lawrence experienced the most trying day in the history of this city when William Clark Quantrill with his band of blood-thirsty guerrillas rode into the town at sunrise and left it a few hours later a mass of smoking embers and with a large number of her citizens murdered and the bodies lying about the streets. Only the day before Lawrence was a thriving little frontier town, 9 years old, and the most important of the free or anti-slavery towns in the west.”

10 most deadly U.S. hurricanes occurred prior to what Q: The year?

Pilot killed in small plane crash at K.C. air show KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — A stunt pilot was killed in fiery crash during a Kansas City air show on Saturday after his plane appeared unable to get out of a downward spiral and nosedived into a grassy field, witnesses and authorities said.

Missouri Department of Aviation spokesman Joe McBride said the pilot couldn’t pull out of a maneuver and crashed the biplane at a downtown airfield. No spectators were injured.

McBride said it was the first fatal crash at the annual Kansas City Aviation Expo Air Show. Event officials identified the pilot as Bryan Jensen, though no other information was released.

Witnesses told the Kansas City Star that the red Horzon Hobbit plane was performing loops, then couldn’t pull up from a downward spiral.

They said the crowd fell silent when the plane hit the ground and burst into flames.

“It was right in front of the crowd,” said Kansas City

Council member Jan Marcason, who was watching the aerial acrobatics when the plane crashed around 1:45 p.m.

Others said it appeared that the pilot was going to gain control of the plane and that the maneuver initially looked scripted.

“It was looking cool at first, like he knew what he was doing,” said Jason Cook, of Blue Springs.

Spectators were asked to leave Wheeler Downtown Airport after the crash, though the show is expected to resume today. The Federal Avia-

Running wild KANSAS FOOTBALL

——

Oklahoma tops poll for 10th time NEW YORK (AP) — Being voted preseason No. 1 is a tradition at Oklahoma, and this season is no different.

The Sooners will start out top-ranked in the Associated Press college football poll for the 10th time, more than any program in the country.

The defending Big 12 champions received 36 of 60 first-place votes and 1,464 points in the Top 25 released Saturday.

Auburn, last season’s national champion, will start the season No. 23, one spot behind where it began in 2010.

If the rankings are any indication, the national title race could be a scramble.

No. 2 Alabama, one of a record eight Southeastern Conference teams in the preseason poll, wasn’t far behind OU, receiving 17 first-place votes and 1,439 points.

No. 3 Oregon got four firstplace votes, No. 4 LSU received one and No. 5 Boise State got two.

Florida State was No. 6, the Seminoles’ best preseason ranking since starting the 2004 season at No. 5.

Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew Luck and Stanford were No. 7, matching the best preseason ranking for the School . . . . . . . . . Pts Cardinal since 1. Oklahoma (36) 1,464 1950, the year 2. Alabama (17). . 1,439 of the first AP 3. Oregon . . . . . . 1,330 preseason poll.

No. 16 Notre Dame is ranked for the first time since early November 2009.

As for Oklahoma, no matter where it lands in the preseason, it always expects to make a run at a national championship in the end. It hasn’t won it all, however, since 2000.

That’s when coach Bob Stoops led the Sooners to their seventh AP national title in his second season in Norman. Since then, Oklahoma has lost three BCS championship games.

The Sooners have won the AP national title four times when they were preseason No. 1 (1956, 1974, 1975 and 1985). The last time they started a season topranked was 2003. That season, they lost the BCS championship game to LSU. “We’re very matter of fact,” Stoops said this week. “All we think about is doing the work.

“We’re also very aware we’re not much different than about 12, 15 other teams that’ll be competing for it that have legitimate chances to win it. What are we going to do differently to separate ourselves?”

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

All offseason, Kansas University football coaches raved about their talented stable of running backs and how much the group would help improve KU’s offense this season.

Saturday, at the open-scrimmage portion of the annual Family Fun Fest, the Jayhawks received serious contributions from a couple of those backs.

Red-shirt freshman Brandon Bourbon scored two touchdowns from inside five yards, and true freshman Tony Pierson added another TD from just outside the red zone. Both were on the short list of players who stood out Saturday, and KU coach Turner Gill afterward talked about what he saw from his two explosive tailbacks.

“Brandon did some good things today,” Gill said. “He shows some flashes in practice, and then there’s always something that will come up with a little nick or an injury. It was good to get him some reps. We saw some impressive runs. He ran hard. He ran through some tackles. That was good to see.”

As for Pierson, who ripped off two of the day’s longest runs — both in the 20- to 25-yard range —

Gill said his ability to contribute immediately centered on one thing.

“Obviously with him, it comes down to speed,” Gill said. “He can turn the corner, outrun some people out there and make some things happen. He brings that speed and explosiveness to our football team and to the offensive side of the ball. He did some good things there (today) too. He’s not a guy that is going to be an every-

down back, just because of his size, but whenever he touches the football, he has the chance to go the distance.”

James Sims, Deshaun Sands, Ryan Burton and Josh Smith also received carries. Sims took limited snaps, and Blue Springs, Mo., freshman Darrian Miller was held out entirely as a precaution. Gill said Miller was fine and lauded that his offense was able to move

the ball without big contributions from the top two players on the depth chart doing much.

“I think it just solidifies what we’re talking about,” Gill said.

“We have a good, solid core of running backs that are going to help our football team this year.

You need quite a few of those guys because they’re going to get banged up during the course of the season. But I feel like we have quite a few guys that, if they’re called on, they can produce.”

Although the scrimmage was more like a practice and less like a game, it did feature full contact, except for quarterbacks; firstteamers against first-teamers, for the most part; and a full crew of referees. The KU pep band, spirit squad and a few hundred fans in the stands also made it seem as close to gameday as possible in mid-August.

One day after being named the team’s starting quarterback, sophomore Jordan Webb showed why. During his first two drives, he led the first-team offense to two touchdowns.

Webb looked decisive and comfortable in the pocket, more in control on the move and in complete command of the offense. “(He had) good execution,” Gill Please see SCRIMMAGE, page 3B

Eight-run sixth lifts Royals over Red Sox

BOSTON STARTING PITCHER TIM WAKEFIELD, RIGHT, and shortstop Marco Scutaro exchange support as Wakefield is replaced during the sixth inning. Wakefield remained stuck on career win No. 199 after the Royals claimed a 9-4 victory Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas had never faced a knuckleball pitcher before Saturday night.

By the sixth inning, both Royals rookies figured out how to hit the floater.

Alex Gordon and Hosmer each drove in two runs in an eight-run sixth inning to help the Royals rally to beat the Boston Red Sox 9-4 on Saturday night, depriving knuckleballer Tim Wakefield of his 200th victory.

Wakefield, who is 0-2 with three no-decisions since a July 24 triumph over Seattle, took a

4-1 lead into the sixth, but failed to get out of the inning. He was pulled after giving up three consecutive hits with one out and the Red Sox holding onto a 4-3 advantage.

“A lot of these kids had never even seen a knuckleball before, so the third time around might have made a difference,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He would leave a couple up, but the majority were really dancing good and really dive bombing once it got into the strike zone.

“The speed of 66-67 miles per hour is difficult to time when the ball is fluttering that much.

Finally there in the sixth, we did some damage. His knuckleball was really dancing. It was good to get him out of there. It was good to keep the hits coming.”

Gordon’s two-run double off Matt Albers (4-4) put the Royals up 6-4. Hosmer, who started the rally with a single off Wakefield, capped off scoring with a tworun triple off Franklin Morales.

“It was different,” Hosmer said of facing Wakefield’s knuckleball. “It seems like every pitch is moving some way different. Some are dropping and some are staying up. You’ve got to tell yourself don’t overswing,

nice and easy and take it the other way. That’s why he’s been in the game this long cause it’s a great pitch. When he throws it and it’s moving how he wants it to move, it’s pretty effective.

“That first fastball from that left-hander (Morales) seemed like it was 105 miles per hour after seeing knuckleballs all the time.”

The Royals also got runproducing doubles by Jeff Francoeur and Mike Moustakas. Chris Getz’s single scored Moustakas to tie the score at 4-4.

COMMENTARY

NCAA rulebook needs to reverse its field

By Mark Whicker The Orange County Register

“Never mistake activity for achievement,� John Wooden said, as the world nodded at his wisdom and ignored his advice.

Wooden would have been amused, and not fooled, by the summit meeting of university presidents this month.

NCAA president Mark Emmert, formerly the president at LSU and Washington and thus familiar with tails that wag dogs, brought 50 of his brethren together.

Their proposals were honorable and, in some cases, startling.

Especially the one that says a school can miss the NCAA basketball tournament if too many of its players forget that book-learnin’ is part of the bargain here.

Can you imagine?

Theoretically, the Big 12 could hold its conference tournament with only one school eligible to reach the NCAAs, no matter who actually wins. Or two WAC schools could reach the final, to determine the conference’s automatic bid, but only one would qualify academically.

Talk about March Madness.

Had these laws been on the books in 2011, Connecticut would not have participated in the NCAA Tournament that it won.

UConn’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) was 893. The new minimum to get into the tournament will be 930, although it will be calculated as a fouryear average, and will not take effect for at least three years.

Syracuse and Providence also would have fallen short. In the Pac-10, USC was under 930. In the Big West, only Cal Poly SLO, Long Beach State, UC Davis and Pacific would have qualified.

The presidents point out that 930, out of a possible 1,000, does not mean that every athlete must be able to memorize Paradise Lost.

In fact, they say it only connotes a 50 percent graduation rate. Only five Pac-10 basketball teams broke 50 percent, if you use 2003 figures, and Arizona was at 20 percent.

However, the APR does not measure strict graduation rates. It measures eligibility and stability. Schools gets one point apiece for players who keep themselves eligible — a ridiculously low bar at many schools — and who stay in school, as opposed to transferring or turning pro.

The most frequent criticism of APR is that it penalizes schools like UConn and Syracuse whose basketball players good enough to turn pro early.

But the NCAA says that any player who maintains his academic standing in his lame-duck year, the way John Wall did at Kentucky, will not damage his school’s APR when he leaves.

Punish schools that let academics slide.

Who in the name of Michelangelo (he had a high ceiling) can be opposed to that?

Well, this is not a good vs. evil question, much to the chagrin of most college sports commentators.

The less prosperous schools will suffer because they can’t afford the academic support systems — i.e., eligibility factories — that BCS-conference schools can.

The heavy emphasis on APR will drive many players to even lower common denominators of curricula. To ensure their grades, they’ll steer clear of Fundamentals Of Dance and sign up for Introductory Fundamentals Of Dance.

More pressure will land on those renegade professors who actually demand a level of classroom skill and don’t care about courtside tickets.

Again, the only sure way to put athletics back into the bottle is to get rid of the athletic scholarship, as the U. of Chicago and its brethren have done with absolutely no damage to either the classroom or the field.

That, of course, is rampant fantasy.

But would APRs improve if the presidents had done something really radical, like banning spring practice in football or limiting NCAA basketball tournament games to weekends only?

Probably.

Again, let’s give the presidents some room here. The perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of the good, and they seem interested, this time, in real-world improvements.

By Bob Baum Associated Press

TEMPE, ARIZ. — The Arizona Cardinals and Larry Fitzgerald have agreed to an eight-year deal that could pay the star receiver as much as $120 million, making it one of the richest deals in the NFL. Fitzgerald and team president Michael Bidwill appeared at a hastily called news conference Saturday night to announce the agreement.

Fitzgerald insisted he “hates this part of sports,� but he certainly has made a boatload of money. This is the third major contract he has signed, and he

wrapped up by the start of the regular season, and they made it with two weeks to spare.

Bidwill, son of the team’s owner Bill Bidwill, said the Cardinals’ intent is to have Fitzgerald retire as a Cardinal “but not anytime soon.�

Fitzgerald, the third overall park in the 2004 draft at the age of 19, spoke of the opportunity to spend his entire career with one team. “It is an honor,� he said. “I am so fortunate. Not many players have that opportunity but Michael has allowed me that opportunity and I just want to repay him with great effort and winning. That is what is important.�

Pryor works out, won’t appeal suspension GREENSBURG, PA. — Terrelle Pryor worked out for 17 NFL teams Saturday and said afterward he wouldn’t appeal his fiveweek suspension at the start of the NFL season.

With the former Ohio State quarterback trying to prove he should be taken in Monday’s supplemental draft, spectators included Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and director of football operations Kevin Colbert and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. “Whatever team I have an opportunity to play for, I will sign a contract,� Pryor said Pryor following a hastily arranged pro day at a high school stadium near his hometown of Jeannette, Pa. “I will not forego it and enter into next year’s draft.�

Pryor, appearing in top shape, worked out at a high school stadium near his hometown of Jeannette, Pa. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds and threw an array of passes.

Other NFL teams represented were Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Kansas City, Miami, New England, New Orleans, Oakland, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Tampa Bay and Washington.

What about the other QBs? Senior Quinn Mecham looked about like you’d expect a back-up to look during his drives. He was efficient and effective but showed nothing spectacular. Mecham led KU to back-to-back field goals on his first two drives.

The rest of the snaps went to reserves Cummings and Blake Jablonski. Both had good and bad moments throughout the scrimmage and showed that the gap Gill had talked about between his top two QBs and the rest is very real. Colorado freshman Brock Berglund was not in uniform.

In addition to Miller’s absence, five or six other regulars sat out Saturday’s scrimmage. Asked if there was a reason for holding out Tunde Bakare, Tim Biere, Christian Matthews and Chris Omigie, among others, Gill calmed all fears.

“Just precautionary,” he said. “If we were playing a game, they would’ve played.

“He’s got an unbelievable knuckleball,” Moustakas said. “You saw what he did the first five innings. He shut us down pretty good. That’s just a tribute to what he does.

He’s been in this league a long time and it shows you what he’s capable of.

“Hitting the knuckleball is not an easy thing. It’s tough.

It dances all over the plate.

You almost have to get lucky a little bit for the ball to float into your zone and you put a good swing on it.”

STYLE SCOUT

by Caitlin Donnelly

Christopher Enneking Age: 34

Sign: Leo

Relationship status: In a relationship Hometown: Lawrence Time in Lawrence: 31 years Occupation: Builder and aspiring busker What were you doing when scouted? Taking a break from work.

How would you describe your style? Hand-out chic.

What are your current favorite fashion trends? I’m not too sure if it’s a trend, but I like ties with big knots and short ties—like 1910 newsies style.

What are your least favorite fashion trends?

Super-sparkly clothing, anything with rhinestones and Affliction T-shirts. I feel like I’m a kid with keys being dangled in front of me.

What would you like to see more of in Lawrence? I’d love to have a hydro-electric powered trolley. It’d be so cool, it’d make paying high rent on Mass Street worth it.

CLOTHING DETAILS: Shirt: 1996, gift from godfather.

Shoes: DC, 2002, gift.

Pants: Kohl’s, 2001, $20.

Hat: K-Mart, 2009, $5.

What would you like to see less of in Lawrence? Road construction.

I’m tired of dueling turn lanes and encountering roundabouts in the middle of nowhere.

Do you have any piercings or tattoos? I have a tattoo of my Gram’s hand and a rosary on my calf so she can guide my next step as I wander.

Do you have any fashion influences? Johnny Depp — I like his semi-homeless, semi-suave style.

People say I look like… Xerxes from the movie “300,” Donovan McNabb and Carlos Boozer of the Chicago Bulls. Pretty much any tall bald guy.

Tell us a secret: Just last night I did my first collaboration with my friend JaMess, laying one of my poems over Josh Ritter’s “Lawrence, KS.” It was magical!

Weddings grow and go to great lengths

It’s wedding season!

Amore’s in the almost-autumnal air.

Bells are ringing. Brides are blushing. And my bulletin board is bursting with “Save the Dates” and invitations. (The columnist suddenly finds herself in a curious quandary: To continue this auto-amusing but audienceannoying alliteration, or abandon the application altogether. Drat!

It’s difficult to decide.)

The point is, I’ve got a wealth of weddings to witness in the next two months, which prompts me to examine how nuptials have changed since my “big day” in 1979.

Back then, there was no such thing as “Save the Date.” Nobody dispatched postcards, Evites or YouTube videos so people would circle a Saturday on their calendars two years in advance. You booked the church and the reception hall, buzzed a few friends to break the news. Ringa-ding-ding.

Date saved.

According to theknot.com, the average length of engagement today is 12-18 months. Mine was four, and we still managed to get everything done. Without a website, even!

I know people who have been engaged for 12 years. Take Oprah and Steadman, for instance. That poor guy popped the question in 1992. I know the big O’s been busy building an empire and all, but come on, girlfriend you’re either tying the knot or you’re not. (And, according to reliable Internet sources, she’s apparently not.)

She had three daughters coming up after me. Cost-efficiency was crucial: “How much for a cake without frosting?” (She was tough, all right.)

At my bachelorette party, I sipped sangria in a friend’s sister’s apartment and opened risqué gifts, including a board game featuring a rubber dart gun and illustrated chart that, according to the instructions, was to be affixed to the bedroom ceiling for “hours of naughty fun.” (Imagine the horror, years later, when my kids found the box next to Chutes and Ladders in the game closet.)

If that wasn’t wild and crazy enough, my gal pals then drove me to a disco where we boogied all night — with each other, mind you — to Kool and the Gang.

After that… well, what happens in midtown Kansas City, stays in midtown Kansas City. But, I’m fairly sure I was home by midnight.

Re-enactment poses challenges of Civil War-era photography

I was walking through the Union army camp, carrying my tripod and camera, when a soldier yelled out, “Matthew Brady, aren’t you the guy who moved the dead soldier to set up a photograph?” My response was quick. “No, sir that was Alexander Gardner, not I.” The line got me a laugh, but maybe you had to be there or be knowledgeable of Civil War photography to get the

The class, which had been gathering for workshops to read and review each student’s work, was already familiar with the writing processes of one another.

“The manuscripts went through two or three readings, reviews and edits. We did the book design as well.

The cover photo was taken by my co-editor, Nicole Muchmore. It’s a homemade project,” Masinton says.

But the group did not want the book to appear homemade. “We really wanted to meet professional standards,” says Masinton, who explains that Tony Pierce, the student with the idea for the book, took it upon himself to learn the process behind online selfpublishing and funded the project.

“We both love Natalie Goldberg’s old work “Writing Down the Bones,” and wanted to give it a try. We had

This book, says Muchmore, “is a good example of what a mixed group — beginners to experts — of motivated writers can do these days. For several authors, getting published was on their bucket list. We laugh about that a lot, but I think it’s really an important aspect of this book,” she says.

Being a part of this publication has been a special experience for Muchmore.

“This project inspires the authors to continue to work on their respective memoir projects and to hone and extend their writing skills.

Fortunately, the invitations on my bulletin board are for simpler affairs. A sign, driven by the economy, perhaps, that more brides and MOBs believe the “big day” doesn’t have to be a big production.

I’m looking forward to them. Especially if someone sings “Muskrat Love.”

ARTS NOTES Baker choir prepares for 3rd season The Baker Community Choir is preparing for its third season.

Formed in February 2010

by Matthew Potterton, assistant professor of music and director of choral activities at Baker University, the choir annually draws 70 to 80 singers from Baker and the surrounding communities. The repertoire is varied, ranging from French composer Gabriel Faure´ to spirituals.

Choir practices are 6 to 7:50 p.m. Thursdays at McKibbin Recital Hall. Practices for the upcoming season begin Thursday. Singers of all ages are welcome.

The choir will perform with the Baldwin City Children’s Choir at Baker’s Fall Concert at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28 at First United Methodist Church. The Community Choir will also sing at Vespers on Dec. 4 at the church.

For more information, contact Potterton at (785) 5944504 or matthew.potterton@ bakeru.edu.

West Side Folk presents Red Molly Red Molly will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Unity Church of Lawrence, Ninth and Madeline Lanes. Cindy Novelo will open this concert presented by West Side Folk.

The dynamic female trio

that began as a happy accident around a campsite (at the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival) is now drawing invitations from renowned historic national events like Merlefest and is winning over audiences around the country.

Original members, Laurie McAllister (banjo, bass) and Abbie Gardner (guitar, dobro) have now been joined by Austin singer-songwriter Molly Venter to fill out their lush, distinctive three-part harmonies. They deliver an eclectic, exciting mix of cover songs by well-known writers (Nanci Griffith, Steve Goodman, Bob Wills, Dar-

rell Scott, etc.), originals, and songs by up-and-coming writers (Jonathan Byrd, Anthony da Costa) in a style incorporating bluegrass, gospel, blues and contemporary folk. The Boston Globe says “their bluegrass and old-time gospel sounds and buoyant three-part harmonies are so downhome it’s as if their notes are carried to you on the crisp air of the Ozarks.” As Dirty Linen noted, “Red Molly makes music that is both modern and timeless, making old songs sparkle with new life and new ones sound like they were seasoned through generations.”

tion that Alex Gardner, a Civil War photographer who worked for Brady, had once moved the body of a dead soldier to create a more dramatic image. Since my intent was to dress like Brady, not Gardner, the soldier’s remark was an obvious case of mistaken identity. I can tell you with all honesty that no horse or soldier was either moved or harmed in the making of my photographs.

DON’T FORGET THE VARIABLES You’re ready to make an offer! You’ve done your homework by reviewing a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis), local DOM (Days On Market), and even the LP:SP (List Price to Sales Price) ratio to formulate your offer based on the numbers, and you have confidence in the mathematics.

Sometimes the sellers are motivated by the pressure of having purchased, or offered to purchase, another home. Then time becomes more important than money. No one wants to pay two mortgages or risk their ability to close on another purchase because they can’t sell their first home.

However, there may be “non-tangible” factors that don’t fit neatly into the equation.

Your representative will endeavor to discover variables like the seller’s motivation and your possible competition.

Also try to find out if other buyers are making offers on your chosen property. If so, make your first offer your best offer, because sellers are unlikely to counter in this situation. But… never offer more than your representative believes the home will appraise for, or your financing will fail and you’ll be back at Square One. Talk to your agent about the facts and the variables, and then make your offer with confidence.

If the home you want has been listed much longer than the average DOM, the sellers may have become more realistic and more motivated to accept lower offers.

CNNCNN anchor is out andand about anchor is out

By David Hiltbrand The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — Want a yardstick for how far into the post-ironic era we have drifted?

This summer, TV newsman Don Lemon published a memoir, “Transparent,” in which he came out as gay and talked about being sexually abused as a boy.

Yet he got far more attention for a snarky threeminute segment that Jon Stewart devoted to him last Colton Strathman, month on “The Daily Show,” psychology major, titled, “CNN Anchor Don Lawrence Lemon appears not to care “I’m reading ‘Wizard and Glass’ from the Dark Tower for CNN.” The bit consisted series by Stephen King. It’s of a series of clips in which mostly about the character Lemon again and again curtretelling an experience that ly refused to engage in the he had before he started on usual happy-talk banter with the rest of the on-air talent. the Dark Tower quest. It’s Lemon’s disdain for clownabout the beginning of some ing had Stewart giggling unwar.” controllably.

Lemon was watching the show at home in Atlanta with a friend when he suddenly found himself being the story instead of reporting it.

“I was having fun, laughing and tweeting,” he says. “I tweeted, ‘Jon Stewart is going in on the President,’ ‘Now he’s giving it to Boehner and Congress.’

“Then it came back from commercial, and my name and face came up. I tweeted, Austin Naramore, ‘Oh my gosh!’ My friend and global and international I looked at each other and said, ‘Uh-oh.’ He turned up studies major, the volume, and I walked out Pomona “The third book in the Game of the room.

Sitting in a restaurant in R.R. Martin. Basically what it is, is a sci-fi fiction fantasy in a Philadelphia hotel before discussing his book at the a medieval setting.” recent National Association of Black Journalists convention, Lemon offers a curious explanation for the stern onair manner captured by “The Daily Show.”

“That’s just my sense of humor,” he says. “Some people have a very dry wit. I don’t want to be too goofy or too cutesy on television.”

His strictly business attitude helps explain his meteoric rise as a newsman, starting with stints as a reporter at local stations in Birmingham, James Sterbenz, Ala.; St. Louis; and PhiladelKU professor, phia.

CNN ANCHOR DON LEMON gets ready to report from the National Mall in Washington, D.C., during President Obama’s 2009 inauguration.

time weekend anchor.

Along the way, he gained a reputation as a talented, if often imperious, journalist.

You get a taste of that in the book, when he describes bridling at one of his first assignments in Chicago: “Sending me, with all I had learned from my experiences with NBC News, out to cover a shooting was like sending a tank to break up a fight between kindergartners. It was truly a waste of my talent and experience.”

In “Transparent,” Lemon chronicles growing up in Louisiana with a single ambition: to become a TV newsman.

His earliest role models, he says, were “Peter Jennings and Max Robinson. And later

Bryant Gumbel. I loved Peter Jennings. He was so smooth and natural.”

At 5, he was sexually molested by a neighborhood teen, abuse that went on for years.

Sitting in the restaurant, he explains that the experience caused him to split off from himself.

“When I was a kid, I just pushed it down,” he says.

“You don’t want to think about it. You live during the times your abuser’s not there.

Then, when they’re there, you shut yourself down and say, ‘This will be over with soon.’ “ By the time he became an adult, Lemon was severely repressed.

“I went to LSU,” he says.

“I did crazy things. I drank a lot and didn’t study. I wasn’t a bad kid, but I had issues, including the fact that I was gay and didn’t tell people.”

His face still remarkably boyish-looking at 45, Lemon maintains that he found himself when he dropped out and moved to New York City, where he worked as a support staffer at the local Fox affiliate.

“For the first time, I was free to be who I was,” he says.

“I was in an environment with all kinds of people, not just ethnicity, but gay people, straight people, bisexual people. There were even transgender people I worked with in the newsroom. I was like, ‘Wow, this is different.’”

Even after years of therapy, he still carries scars from the sexual abuse he suffered as a child.

In the book he writes: “Like many survivors of childhood molestation, I find it hard to become close to people. I find it hard to trust. I feel myself to be ‘different’ in ways that aren’t always good.

Though I’ve done my best to erase the shame by talking about it, and by trying to understand what happened and why, and even to find some measure of forgiveness for the boys who perpetrated it, I know the experience has had negative ramifications for me, especially in terms of relationships.”

He has long been extremely comfortable with his sexual identity, however. In fact, during his time in Philadelphia, he was a presenter at what was then called the Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.

“Among my friends and coworkers that I had a relationship with, I was out, but I never said the words publicly,” he states. “It wasn’t a big coming-out” in the book.

He will be back in Philadelphia as the keynote speaker Aug. 27 at the National Lesbians and Gay Journalists Association convention.

Lemon loves the City of Brotherly Love.

“I bought my first house in Philadelphia,” he says. “I met the best friends of my life in Philadelphia. I grew up as a journalist in Philadelphia.

“People don’t realize how great it is. I think it’s a wellkept secret.”

Not anymore. Don Lemon no longer believes in secrets.

‘Rules of Civility’ a love letter to Manhattan Just as I adored Tom Rachman’s “The Imperfectionists” last year, “Rules of Civility” is the book that I’ve been waiting to read, a gift for the summer. It’s the kind of charmer you can’t wait to share with other people.

By Karen Heller The Philadelphia Inquirer

Christa Griffin, seventh-grader, Lawrence “‘Waiting for Normal’ by Leslie Connor. It’s about this girl and she’s going into middle school. She has some hard times; she moves into a trailer with her mom.”

Jordyn Leon, seventh-grader, Lawrence “‘Thirteen Plus One’ by Lauren Myracle. It’s about a girl who is turning 14 and she’s just kind of trying to figure out how she should act at school and figure out friends and her life in general.”

Passionate readers wait months for novels like “Rules of Civility,” a book that enchants on the first reading and only improves on the second. They are rare — if you find one a year, you’re lucky — and worth the wait.

“Rules of Civility” is the first novel by Amor Towles (even his name sounds like a marvelous invention), and I hope the first of many. Ostensibly, it’s a novel of manners, though it’s also a love letter to Manhattan on the eve of World War II, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and the way certain people lived back then, or how we like to imagine they did through the smokeand-gin filter of great books, movies, and indelible images.

The year is 1938. New York is a place where people can go and reinvent themselves as someone fabulous, and leave their old lesser selves behind in lesser places. The narrator is clever, Coney Island-born Katey Kontent, an orphan of a Russian immigrant father, her name pronounced con-tent — as in being happy — who rises from secretary to conquer book and magazine publishing. (A quibble: I never bought the name. Too forced.)

Like Nick Carraway or Jake Barnes, Katey is not the hero of the story, merely its wry observer. “Rules’” Gatsby is

the charming yet unknowable Tinker Grey, with “a smile on his face that could have lit every lamp at the North Pole,” a Wall Street man of impossible grace and good fortune.

Tinker conducts his life as a great gentleman might, taking his lead, and furnishing the book’s title, from George Washington’s “Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior,” the 110 maxims of conduct the future leader copied when he was 16 from a 16th-century set of precepts compiled by French Jesuits.

Tinker, Katey, and her friend, the beauteous Eve Ross, are in a horrible car accident, with Eve bearing the brunt. “Accidents can bind us together like prisons — even glittering ones,” Towles observes, and Tinker and Eve take up together, Tinker more out of duty — again, it’s

his code of conduct — than passion. It’s clear he prefers Katey but he was behind the wheel and, besides, Eve was the first to call “dibs.”

Eve takes up residence in Tinker’s swank apartment at the Beresford, as polished as any Astaire-Rogers set. The motto of the Central Park West landmark — Fronta Nulla Fides, or Place No Trust in Appearances — could equally serve as the novel’s title.

To maintain such surface charms is hard, sometimes dirty work, and the characters’ inner lives are often at odds with their appearance.

Mysteries, lies, and ulterior motives abound, as do the witty, often barbed apercus.

Katey notes, “Old times, as my father used to say: If you’re not careful, they’ll gut you like a fish.”

Clearly, Towles is having great fun diving into the habits of the period, the food, the dress, the rituals. I get the sense that he had as much fun writing the book as the reader does in devouring it. “To begin, Wallace ordered aspic, of all things, and I had the house salad — a terrific concoction of iceberg greens, cold blue cheese and warm red bacon.

If I were a country, I would

have made it my flag.”

Towles’ Manhattan owes more to fiction than history, the gift of invention, or reinvention, that you could get ahead by bending truth and breaking rules. (Like “Mad Men,” decades later.)

His characters speak not so much as people might, but how we wish they might.

Katey and Eve and all Katey’s smart friends at work banter much as the bright women of Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman’s “Stage Door.”

“But in general, investments that need their own food and shelter don’t amount to much,” Tinker’s icy, glamorous godmother observes.

It’s not altogether clear she’s speaking about horses.

“Rules” is populated by men named Val and Wallace, and women named Wyss and Bitsy. I didn’t mind. There’s something greater going on than the arthritic rules of the entrenched upper class. Just as I adored Tom Rachman’s “The Imperfectionists” last year, “Rules of Civility” is the book that I’ve been waiting to read, a gift for the summer.

It’s the kind of charmer you can’t wait to share with other people, as you might any delicacy, saying, “Here, enjoy.”

Poet’s Showcase

‘This Place’ In my hometown there is a place, a place I used to know, a place that holds such memories, I sometimes yearn to go.

When I am sad I can go back and see it in my mind.

I long to see what used to be, it’s peace there I can find.

Good things happened to me there, I remember vividly, the house, the trees, the big old barn, I retrace them lovingly.

I had a thought to go back once, though it had been so many years, I drove through town, down an old dirt road, my eyes then filled with tears.

Before me lay a lonely place, my God it was all gone.

Why did I come and ruin my dreams of this place that was my home?

A fallen chimney all alone that used to warm this place, now it’s cold and so am I as tears run down my face.

It doesn’t deserve this loneliness, now stripped of all its pride, no one to shield it from the storms, for nothing live inside.

Some things are better left alone, in your heart they will remain, ever faithful, ever there, to forever be the same.

Will my memories now be tarnished, does my joy there linger still?

Can this place still hear my laughter? God I hope it always will.

— Helen Daniels, Lawrence

Baron Wolman/Special to the Journal-World

IN ADDITION to Hendrix, subjects in Wolman’s collection include Mick Jagger, Johnny Cash, Jerry Garcia and Muddy Waters.

On the cover of the Rolling Stone ————

Former chief photographer’s work for iconic magazine subject of upcoming exhibit at the Lawrence Arts Center

By Ben Pfeiffer Special to the Journal-World

After their first classes this week, returning Kansas University students and faculty — along with the Lawrence community— are invited to enjoy the history of music, journalism and photography during a new exhibition at the Lawrence Arts Center, “Every Picture Tells a Story: The Rolling Stone Years.”

The show features the work of the magazine’s first chief photographer, Baron Wolman, whose tenure at Rolling Stone allowed him to accumulate an impressive collection of photographs featuring different rock ‘n’ roll legends.

The gallery opens to the public as part of Lawrence’s Final Friday event from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday.

“It’s a great space, it’s great people,” Wolman says. “It’s going to be a lot of fun — a lot of rocking and rolling, baby!”

Brett Mossiman, who cosponsored the exhibition, says that he always tries to support the Arts Center’s mission but that he’s individually excited about this upcoming showcase: “I personally have always been a closet photographer and have always revered excellent concert and rock photography.”

Mossiman explains that Wolman’s “work encompasses the golden age of rock music and the musicians who delivered it all. Rolling Stone was the vehicle to submerge yourself in that culture. So it

was a no-brainer to want to help bring this great exhibit to Lawrence.”

Ben Ahlvers, the exhibit’s curator and exhibitions director at the arts center, hand-selected the prints from Wolman’s archive in Santa Fe, N.M. He says that although the show shares its name with Wolman’s eponymous hardcover photography book, the experience of the Lawrence exhibition will be entirely distinctive, as opposed to a “pre-packaged” show that could be seen anywhere.

“What I wanted to do was to pick images out of his stable that were unique based on what we had to work with,” Ahlvers says. “I certainly collaborated with Baron on that.

He gave me access to his studio. I went in and just looked through hundreds of images.”

Ahlvers had seen many of the images he was considering before, through Wolman’s website, books or documentaries — and there were even some he had seen in Rolling Stone as a teenager. At the time, still in high school, he had cut them out of the magazine and tacked them on his wall with no idea who had taken the images, and no awareness that he might one day be assembling a show of the photographer’s work.

Ahlvers says he was excited at the prospect of working with Wolman.

“Going out there and meeting him, and talking to him and hearing him talk about his experience in being there,

and shooting these things — it informed what I was going to choose. What I ultimately ended up picking was pictures of the musicians themselves.”

For his part, Wolman claims he gave free rein to Ahlvers and says that the result is a distinctive mix of candid portraits and prints of the artists performing. The effect, he says, is an intimate knowledge of the scene itself, and of the people who lived in it, some of rock ‘n’ roll’s biggest names, including Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones and McKinley Morganfield, better known as Muddy Waters.

“You get a sense of what it was like at the time,” Wolman says. “A real cross-section of performing and portraits and how it was to be living in the ’60s.”

In addition to attending the show, Wolman will be giving a supplemental talk at 2 p.m. Saturday about how he decided to become a professional photographer, his life in San Francisco’s HaightAshbury during the Summer of Love and the early years of Rolling Stone. He says that he’s often asked about that time period, and that’s why he usually discusses it when someone asks him to present.

“Any time you’re part of a new venture, that new venture becomes a new adventure,” Wolman says. “And that’s exactly what happened. It just got better and better. We had no idea what to expect, and what we got

was better than anything we could have imagined.”

Wolman adds that although he and Rolling Stone’s staff knew their subject was strong, and that there was a market for the kind of magazine they envisioned, other people had tried and failed to start a successful, national magazine dedicated to the music industry. In that respect, he attributes Rolling Stone’s success to being “professional from day one.”

“We looked good, the writing was impeccable, the editing was impeccable, the headlines were engaging—all the stuff that makes a publication attractive to its readers.”

The showcase won’t be completely old school, though. For anyone seeking a more interactive experience, Ben Ahlvers says that for the first time, the Lawrence Arts Center will allow visitors to use their cell phones to get further information about the prints using a service known as Guide by Cell. Visitors will call a local phone number, and will be treated to a few minutes of music and anecdotes about the artist.

WHAT TO DO IF BITTEN • Positively identify the snake if at all possible. Take a picture of it with your camera phone if possible.

Harmless snakes may bite people in self-defense and their bites rarely require treatment.

• Call for help or get to a medical facility as quickly as possible. If a friend or relative is transporting you, call the facility to let them know you are coming.

• Try to remain calm and alert those around you that you may experience shock.

• Do NOT use a tourniquet, try to suck out the venom, or make cuts near the wound.

•Only accept antivenin after you have been tested to determine whether you are allergic to the antivenin, even if it is from a physician.

MARY LYNN STUART, Baldwin City, was bitten by a copperhead multiple times last summer, leaving in all six puncture wounds on her hand. Since then, Stuart uses heavy gloves and rubber boots for extra protection as well as a child’s rake to lift foliage before weeding.

Snake-bitten gardener advocates caution L

DESPITE BEING BITTEN, Stuart returns snakes to the woods safely.

abor Day marks a two-year anniversary for Douglas County resident Mary Lynn Stuart but unfortunately an unpleasant one. The holiday was the day Stuart was bitten by a venomous snake known as a copperhead while pulling weeds in her garden.

“I had worked outside all day that day and then came in to take a shower,” Stuart recalls. Keen to the presence of snakes in the area, Stuart was performing her gardening chores as usual, wearing rubber boots and gloves.

After the shower, Stuart went back out, sans protective gear, just to pick up tools.

“Then a few weeds got the best of me and I started working again,” she says.

“I was reaching under a shrub, a barberry in fact, pulling weeds, and wham, it got me.”

Stuart describes the snake’s bite as feeling like a thousand razor blades penetrating her skin, followed by a sensation that her hand and arm were going to explode. She had six puncture wounds on her left hand courtesy of the copperhead.

Copperheads are one of three species of venomous snakes that inhabit northeast Kansas. Adult copperheads vary in color from gray to light brown with patterns of dark gray or brown crossbands.

Immature copperheads are similarly patterned, but have green or yellow tails. They are known to reach up to 40 inches long in Kansas.

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

Stuart was familiar with copperheads because she had seen them before in her garden. The rocky terrain near her home in the southwest part of the county is just the habitat copperheads prefer. Despite the risk, though, Stuart wholeheartedly believes in not killing snakes unnecessarily.

“Jim and I have been scooping up snakes and returning them to the woods since 1975,” Stuart says, referring to her husband.

Stuart now uses a child’s rake to lift the foliage of plants before reaching under for weeds or to move mulch.

“Don’t put your hands under things you can’t see under!” she advises.

She also recommends gloves and rubber boots for extra protection.

“I was always led to believe that snakes were aggressive, but they really aren’t,” Stuart notes. “Really, really, they are just trying to hide.”

She also notes that the copperheads lived in the area long before she and her neighbors built their houses.

After the bite, Stuart walked to a nearby neighbor’s and asked them to call 911. She was treated with antivenin and after more than a year regained all feeling in her hand. Stuart notes that another downside to being bitten by the copperhead was the expense. Her treatment included two and half days in an intensive care unit, six very expensive vials of antivenin (at the time they were about $6,000 each) and physical therapy after release from the hospital.

From experience, Stuart believes copperheads are more active in the fall.

Because they bear young from August to October, she may very well be correct.

The timber rattlesnake and Massasauga are the only venomous snakes found in northeast Kansas besides the copperhead. Timber rattlesnakes are characterized by the pattern of dark bands or chevrons down the back and their rattle. They can be more than five feet long. Massasauga are a type of rattlesnake with smaller brown or gray blotches down the back and can reach 35 inches long.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Make out like a bandit by selling one of these weasels

By Terry Kovel

What’s a weasel? It’s an animal, of course, but in some parts of Montana you might put weasels on your ice cream — because some Montanans call M&Ms “weasels.” And in the 1700s, when the nursery rhyme “Pop Goes the Weasel” was composed, everyone knew the “weasel” of the title referred to a yarn winder. In the past, when women would spin and weave at home, they used special tools.

After the wool was spun, it was wound by hand on

a niddy-noddy or with the help of a yarn winder. The winder looked like a post on a footed platform. Attached to the post’s side was a wheel of four or five “arms.” If the wheel turned once, it had wound a set amount of wool, usually a yard. Each time the wheel turned, a wooden counter would move a notch until it hit a final peg and made a loud “pop.” As the nursery rhyme said, “Pop goes the weasel.” Today, a weasel (wool winder) can cost anywhere from $30 to $500.

‘Smother-in-law’ usurping time with grandchild Dear Annie: I knew my mother-in-law would go crazy when we had the first grandchild, but I’m starting to feel resentment. My baby is 7 months old. Mom was angry when she wasn’t the first to hold her. She drives 50 miles twice a week to visit. She shows up uninvited and ends up wherever we are — the mall, the park, in church, etc.

I haven’t had one Saturday alone with my husband and daughter in seven months.

I work full time and have precious few hours with my child when she’s awake. I try to be understanding because I know Mom waited a long time for a grandchild, but she’s driving me crazy. She insists I let her take the baby for the weekend, but I’m not ready. Last week, we planned a vacation, and my “smotherin-law” caught wind. Now my in-laws are booked at the hotel across the street.

The final straw was when she quit her job, assuming I would let her baby-sit. She just showed up at the day care center, expecting to take her. I don’t want my in-laws to be the caregivers for my child, because they live too far away and they are both chain smokers. Mom and her husband are lonely, and my husband feels bad for them.

They have no friends and have formed their entire lives

Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: I am 30 years old, and so is my fiance, “Paul.” He is a hard worker and a good person for the most part, but he only shows affection, holds my hand or says that he loves me when we are in the company of others. Also, he constantly compares me to his ex-wife and says I can’t do anything as well as she does. Thank goodness he only does this when we’re alone. anniesmailbox@comcast.net Is Paul suffering from low self-esteem, or is he trying to around this new baby. I need tell me that he doesn’t love space. — Help in Reno me? — Thinking in W.V. Dear Reno: Your mothDear Thinking: A man who er-in-law is out of control.

A 7-month-old baby is too young to spend the weekend with Grandma. Tell her you will consider letting your daughter stay overnight when she is toilet trained and Grandma and Grandpa stop smoking. Chain smokers should not be providing day care duty for young children of any age, and there is no reason you cannot politely inform them of this.

It’s time for your husband to step up and tell his mother to back off before she endangers her relationship with her grandchild. If possible, she should cancel her plans to vacation with you. You are wonderfully understanding about Mom, but if you don’t set solid boundaries now, she will push you to the limit.

Having run out of variations on the word “hoarding,” TLC offers “My Collection Obsession” (9 p.m., TLC). To be honest, these folks are a tad more focused than the hoarder crowd. Darlene likes shoes. So why not collect 15,000?

The oddest thing about Kyle’s 10-year-old obsession with vacuum cleaners is that he’s only 16 years old. Harrell and Patrick are lucky to have a three-story house to share. It’s filled to the brim with Dolly Parton collectibles. You get the picture.

Enter at your own risk.

A real-life thriller, “The Liquid Bomb Plot” (7 p.m., National Geographic) recalls the 2006 conspiracy of upward of 18 terrorists to blow up 10 airliners using soda bottles injected with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide. “Plot” recalls the multinational effort to track and entrap the plotters, who seemed on the verge of the most deadly and spectacular terror event since 9/11.

It turned out to be the largest surveillance operation in the history of the U.K., involving more than 200 agents and highlevel coordination with U.S. intelligence.

Interviews include folks at the highest levels of security, including former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden and former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who share information about the operation, except, of course, Actor-director Melvin when they can’t.

Reuniting tornado victims with treasured photos

By Sharon Cohen Associated Press

CARTHAGE, MO. — Whitegloved workers line the long tables, carefully sifting through photos of proms and weddings, baby’s first day, proud soldiers in their uniforms. They gently clean off any dirt, dry rain-damaged pictures — and salvage a city’s lost treasures.

The history of Joplin, Mo., is slowly coming into focus here, one snapshot, one portrait at a time. A church room in this nearby town has been converted into collection central for more than 27,000 photos buried or blown away in the monster May tornado that left 160 dead and obliterated a third of Joplin.

Amazingly, even as 200 mph winds reduced homes to splinters, fragile photos survived. Even more incredible was where some turned up: Trees. Barns. Barbed wire fences. In Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Tennessee. And, of course, all across Missouri.

Days after the May 22 storm, Angela Walters, a genealogist in Oklahoma, noticed some of these photos on Facebook pages. Many listed bare-bones information: streets where the pictures were found, a contact phone number. Why not put all of them in one place, Walters thought, so their owners could find them? So many people had lost so much, surely they’d cherish any trace of their past.

“When a disaster happens, as soon as you hear a family is safe, the next thing you always think about is photos,” she says. “They’re irreplaceable. We can go back to the time and place and people we don’t have in front of us anymore. They’re the record of our lives.”

Walters created a Facebook page — the Lost Photos of Joplin — to post pictures found in the storm-ravaged city and far beyond. She joined forces with a similar local project, and the First Baptist Church in Carthage stepped up to help.

Volunteers at the church — about a dozen miles from Joplin— clean and dry each photo. They record anything written on the images, then number, scan and send them to Walters. She plans to post about 1,000 a week. (DVDs, letters and other personal mementoes also are being returned.)

“We’re trying to let people know there’s a community here that wants to preserve their memories ... help them move forward and assure them everything is going to be OK,” says Thad Beeler, head of the church’s photo rescue team.

It’s slow going. Almost 500 photos have been returned so far. For every “find,” there’s reason to celebrate.

VIVIAN LOVE, A VOLUNTEER AT THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN CARTHAGE, MO., CLEANS AND SORTS PHOTOS and other personal documents July 19 found among rubble after a powerful EF-5 tornado destroyed a large swath of nearby Joplin, Mo., on May 22.

The church has taken on the task of preserving thousands of lost photos and reuniting them with their owners.

A VOLUNTEER CLEANS A DAMAGED PHOTO July 19 at the First Baptist Church in Carthage, Mo., where church members are cleaning and sorting photos and other personal documents found among rubble after the Joplin tornado.

Everything is gone Judy Lowe, a real estate agent, lost everything in the twister; all that remained of her house were bathroom tiles. So finding a photo of her son, Scott, on the Facebook page “was like claiming a victory from the tornado,” she says.

“Every day you realize everything you had is gone,” Lowe explains. “You think, ‘I don’t have this or that.’ Then to get one part of your life back — it’s overwhelming.

You just cry.”

The battered, orange-tinted picture shows Scott, then 2 (he’s now 8) mugging for the camera in the bathroom, pretending to be shaving with foam on his chin.

“It’s a day and a memory and a piece of time,” she says of the photo. “That’s all I have now. I don’t have a baby blanket. I don’t have his first little outfit he came home in. I don’t want you to think I’m a pack rat, but it’s honestly something that takes me back to happier times. ... Since the tornado,

they’ve been few and far between.”

Holly Wilson found comfort, too, in a photo, after losing her grandmother in the tornado. The elderly woman suffered a fatal heart attack while trying to ride out the storm huddled in a closet with her daughter (Wilson’s mother) and another family member.

Wilson turned to the Facebook page, searching for familiar faces. “I thought maybe if I look every second of every day, I can find a little piece of hope,” she says.

She did. She found a vintage black-and-white photo of her great-grandparents with their first grandchild.

She was so excited she woke her mother — who’d lost her house and job — even though it was 3 a.m. “My mother was grinning ear to ear,” Wilson says. “It was like my grandmother was there a little bit.”

Wilson says the picture was old so she wouldn’t have known that was her family if the names weren’t on it.

History in photos About 25 percent of the “lost” photos have some written information. Walters has used clues — school logos and team uniforms, for instance — to help identify others.

The photos span more than a century, ranging from sepia-tinted studio portraits to digital snapshots. They capture changes in cars and clothes, hemlines and hairdos, along with enduring milestones: a bride’s glow, a child’s glee at his birthday party, a graduate’s proud smile.

This is one town’s history through a lens.

There are individual portraits: One of the grandest is a giant 1904 photo of a man named Sylvester Clarence Couch, dapper with his hair parted down the middle, a derby and pearl-like tie pin. Noted on the back: his Oct. 18, 1884, birthdate, and the fact that he was 20 in the photo.

There are class pictures: The smiling first graders at Emerson Elementary School (which was severely damaged by the tornado) are seen in 1942, sitting next to a warthemed placard: “We do our part for V.” And there are family albums: One large cardboard collage features a faded image of World War I soldier, a handsome World War II soldier bookended by two women, little boys in cowboy hats and jodhpurs, a young man in a graduation cap and gown, couples in bridal wear, cars from almost every decade, and more. Will someone recognize a cousin or aunt and come forward?

The project is mostly about photos, but organizers also hope to match people with other lost possessions including recipes, wedding DVDs, military papers and letters, many poignant or funny.

In one, an aunt and uncle lovingly celebrate their niece’s first birthday, writing: “You have brought

joy to so many people.” In another, a soldier updates his health in a March 17, 1945, correspondence: “The stitches are out and I can lay on my back a little — that is with a pillow. ... Ha, ha, they sewed me up with the silver wire, ...”

Walters hopes to post everything online, then have a public display. Anything not claimed will be given to a local museum or library.

Returning possessions The Facebook page is one of a handful of efforts to return cherished possessions to the people of Joplin.

The Joplin Museum Complex will give away tens of thousands of negatives of portraits, wedding and yearbook pictures to those photographed or their families.

The pictures were taken by Murwin Mosler, a studio photographer who chronicled Joplin’s people and buildings over nearly 50 years.

Some images belonged to the museum; others come from the late photographer’s tornado-damaged studio.

“This is one thing that can be of value to people,” says Brad Belk, the museum’s executive director. “This is their history and we want to get it back to them.”

There still is much collecting to do from the streets; hundreds of photos arrive at the church daily.

Judy Lowe and her son, Scott, donated about 65 they found while walking the rubble-strewn street where their house once stood.

Lowe is assembling a scrapbook of the tornado for her two young sons. It will include three photos of them that were returned to her. “It’s something my boys will keep and hopefully,” she says, “it’ll bring them peace.”

She says they’ve all learned a lesson — treasures have no price tag.

“All this other stuff is just stuff,” she says. “It’s the memories that count — and the photos.”

Boomers willing to spend billions to counter aging

By David Crary Associated Press

NEW YORK — Baby boomers heading into what used to be called retirement age are providing a 70 million-member strong market for legions of companies, entrepreneurs and cosmetic surgeons eager to capitalize on their “forever young” mindset, whether it’s through wrinkle creams, facelifts or workout regimens.

It adds up to potential bonanza. The market research firm Global Industry Analysts projects that a boomerfueled consumer base, “seeking to keep the dreaded signs of aging at bay,” will push the U.S. market for anti-aging products from about $80 billion now to more than $114 billion by 2015.

The boomers, who grew up in a culture glamorizing youth, face an array of choices as to whether and how to be a part of that market.

Anti-aging enthusiasts contend that life spans can be prolonged through interventions such as hormone replacement therapy and dietary supplements. Critics, including much of the medical establishment, say many anti-aging interventions are ineffective or harmful.

Turmoil follows fame for reality TV stars

DR. ROBERT GOLDMAN, ONE OF THE CO-FOUNDERS of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, poses Aug. 9 with his trophies from 20 Guinness World Records for strength and endurance in his trophy room in Chicago.

From mainstream organizations such as the National Institute on Aging, the general advice is to be a skeptical consumer on guard for possible scams involving purported anti-aging products.

“Our culture places great value on staying young, but aging is normal,” the institute says. “Despite claims about pills or treatments that lead to endless youth, no treatments have been proven to slow or reverse the aging process.”

Its advice for aging well is basic: Eat a healthy diet, ex-

ercise regularly, don’t smoke.

“If someone is promising you today that you can slow, stop or reverse aging, they’re likely trying hard to separate you from your money,” said S. Jay Olshansky, a professor at the University of IllinoisChicago’s School of Public Health who has written extensively about aging.

“It’s always the same message: ‘Aging is your fault and we’ve got the cure,’” Olshansky said. “Invest in yourself, in the simple things we know work.

Get a good pair of running or

walking shoes and a health club membership, and eat more fruits and vegetables.”

But such advice hasn’t curtailed the demand for antiaging products, including many with hefty price tags that aren’t covered by health insurance. These include cosmetic surgery procedures at $10,000 or more, human growth hormone treatment at $15,000 per year and a skincare product called Peau Magnifique that costs $1,500 for a 28-day supply.

Another challenge for consumers is that many dietary supplements and cosmetics, unlike prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines, aren’t required to undergo government testing or review before they are marketed. The Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission do crack down at times on egregiously false anti-aging claims, but generally there’s little protection for people who don’t get hoped-for results.

Mary Engle, director of the FTC’s division of advertising practices, said her agency focuses on the cases that could cause serious harm, such as bogus cancer treatments that might prompt an ill person to forgo proper care.

She said the agency lacks the resources to crack down comprehensively on ads with exaggerated claims that exploit customers’ hopes for better looks or more energy.

In contrast to the caution of mainstream organizations, there are many vocal promoters of anti-aging products and procedures, including the American Academy of AntiAging Medicine. It hosts annual conferences in the U.S. and abroad, and claims 22,000 members, mostly physicians.

In its mission statement, the academy says the disabilities associated with normal aging “are caused by physiological dysfunction which in many cases are ameliorable to medical treatment, such that the human life span can be increased.”

One of the academy’s cofounders is Robert Goldman, a doctor of osteopathic medicine. He contends that much of the resistance to the antiaging movement comes from sectors of the health and pharmaceutical industries that feel threatened financially — for example by the surging use of over-the-counter nutritional supplements.

“It all has to do with who’s controlling the dollars,” he said.

LOS ANGELES — Reality came crashing in on Russell Armstrong. With the second season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” set to premiere in a few weeks, and a pending lawsuit and divorce, the venture capitalist-turned reality personality hanged himself.

Armstrong left behind no note explaining why, leaving others to indict and defend a genre that has seen its share of off-screen turmoil that often dwarfs the drama caught on camera.

The headlines include a murder, drug trafficking, overdoses, financial ruin, and custody disputes and divorces that play out in the tabloids as much as they do courtrooms.

Experts caution reality TV is not solely to blame, but the full impact on its participants and audience is not yet known.

At least temporarily, Armstrong’s suicide has shaken one of the genre’s brashest franchises.

Bravo, which airs “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” is re-editing the show’s second season, which had planned to focus on the marital strife between Armstrong and his wife, Taylor.

The network did not say how it would alter the unaired episodes, or whether it would incorporate any mentions of suicide prevention resources.

Beyond “Housewives,” few people, including Russell Armstrong’s own attorney, expect the suicide to have broad implications for the reality show industry.

“I don’t think it’ll make any difference at all,” attorney Ronald Richards said in an interview. He said he hoped the show would remove Armstrong from its storyline altogether, but said his client had been warned of the pitfalls of appearing in a reality series before signing on.

“Housewives” has since its debut in 2006 thrived on the divorces, foreclosures and tempers of its well-heeled cast members’ lives. The Washington, D.C., version starred a couple accused of crashing a state dinner at the White House, and the first season of the New Jersey version ended with one housewife angrily calling a fellow cast member a “whore” and overturning a table while the woman’s children looked on.

Stars of current hit shows such as “Jersey Shore” have reveled in bad behavior, while even those that aim to help have been rocked by offscreen tragedy. Two alumni of “Celebrity Rehab” — actor Jeff Conaway and former Alice In Chains bassist Mike Starr have died after their seasons aired.

Richard Hatch, the winner of the first season of the U.S. version of “Survivor” has waged a years-long battle over unpaid taxes and is currently in prison. Also incarcerated is Adam Jasinski, the winner of “Big Brother 9” who is serving a four-year sentence after pleading guilty to possession with attempt to distribute oxycodone and failure to file a tax return for the year he won the reality show’s $500,000 prize.

The precise impact of the shows on their stars’ later lives is difficult to determine, yet the Armstrongs are just one of many couples whose relationship failures have been chronicled by reality TV. The TLC-series “Jon and Kate Plus 8” was upended after it was revealed the couple’s marriage was in shambles; the reconfigured show “Kate Plus 8” was recently canceled.

Younger parents are also fair game, with shows such as “Teen Mom” showing not only the custody struggles of young mothers, but a street fight that ended with charges being filed.

“It’s really hard to know what would have happened to these people otherwise,” said Karen Sternheimer, a sociology professor at the University of Southern California. “We don’t have a control group of other drama queens.”
