Hurricane Irene drenches East Coast Major cities brace for weakened but potent storm

By Mitch Weiss and Samantha Gross Associated Press

NEW YORK — A weakened but still dangerous Hurricane Irene shut down New York and menaced other cities more accustomed to snowstorms than tropical storms as it steamed up the East Coast on Saturday, unloading a foot of rain on North Carolina and Virginia and knocking out power to nearly 1.9 million homes and businesses. At least eight people were killed.

New York emptied its streets and

subways and waited with an eerie quiet. Washington braced for the onslaught, too, as did Philadelphia, the New Jersey shore and the Boston metropolitan area. Packing wind gusts of 115 mph, the hurricane had an enormous wingspan — 500 miles — and threatened a swath of the nation inhabited by 65 million people.

The hurricane stirred up sevenfoot waves, and forecasters warned of storm-surge danger on the coasts of Virginia and Delaware, along the Jersey Shore and in New York Harbor and Long Island Sound. Across the Northeast, drenched by rain this

Irene made its official landfall just after first light near Cape Lookout, N.C., at the southern end of the Outer Banks, the ribbon of land that bows out into the Atlantic Ocean.

While it was too early to assess the full extent of damage, shorefront hotels and houses were lashed with waves, two piers were destroyed and at least one hospital was forced John Minchillo/AP Photo

Bordman said police would probably issue a news release with more details, but he did not say when that would be available.

TOPEKA — A commission considering proposals to address long-term financial issues with the state pension system will take its work on the road.

The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System Study Commission soon should begin a series of six public hearings outside of Topeka. A specific schedule of dates and cities hasn’t been set yet.

Co-chairs of the commission sought permission and the accompanying costs of the meetings last week.

“This is not a request that we make lightly or without LEGISLATURE regard for the financial constraints” facing state leaders, Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, and Rep. Mitch Holmes, R-St. John, said in a letter to the Legislative Coordinating Council.

But the co-chairs argued that any changes to KPERS could have far-reaching effects and as many people as possible should weigh in on the issue.

KPERS, which has about 270,000 members, provides pensions for teachers and government workers. And while current benefits are safe, the system faces a shortfall of nearly $8 billion between revenues and promised benefits.

Groups that support shrinking government and oppose taxes want the state to establish a 401(k)-type plan. Groups that represent employees want the state to face its obligations and fund the system at an appropriate level. Gov. Sam Brownback has said he wants the state to move toward a 401(k)-style plan for new employees.

The LCC, composed of legislative leaders from both parties, approved the outsidethe-capital meetings, and the approximately $2,000 to $2,500 that each of the meetings will cost.

“I think it’s very important that KPERS beneficiaries and retirees have an opportunity to have some say-so at these hearings,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka.

The 13-member study commission is charged with giving the Legislature its recommendations by Jan. 6.

On Monday, when he stands in front of the entire Kansas University student-athlete population, Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger will deliver a message he hopes will reshape Kansas athletics.

The message will be about competing — something Zenger said will be the basis for helping the university’s

In the wake of the ticket scandal that led to the removal — and in many cases prosecution — of seven athletics department employees as well as the unceremonious departure of former Athletic Director Lew Perkins, — KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger many have questioned what comes next for KU. Zenger has the answer athletic programs heal and move into and it’s about much more than hiring a new era. It’s about substance over a new A.D. image and accountability over all.

LAWRENCE POLICE OFFICERS INVESTIGATE a fatality accident Saturday at Riverfront Park. Police say one person died when a Jeep overturned early Saturday near the park entrance.

One person is dead after a vehicle overturned near the entrance to Riverfront Park in North Lawrence, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Monroe.

Early Saturday morning, at the entrance to Riverfront Park at North 1800 Road, police were investigating the one-vehicle incident that was called in by a passerby about 6 a.m. The vehicle, a yellow Jeep Wrangler, could be seen several hundred yards past the levee between the fork in the road, just past the railroad tracks. The body was several feet outside of the Jeep, and the vehicle was heavily damaged.

Tire marks indicated that

the vehicle drove between the two lanes of gravel road, going over the levee and slightly past some large rocks dotting the trail of the park.

Monroe said that it’s unclear what time the accident occurred, but placed the time frame between midnight and 6 a.m., when it was called in.

An accident reconstruction team was on scene trying to determine the dynamics of the incident, Monroe said.

As of 2:45 p.m. Saturday, Lawrence Police Sgt. Ted Bordman said the investigation was ongoing, and he was not able to release any other information about the

Group plans rally against Brownback policies

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — Organizers of a newly formed statewide group say frustration is building among Kansans who are concerned about recent policy decisions by first-term Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

From closure of social services offices to elimination of state funding for the arts, supporters of Kansans United in Voice and Spirit say it’s time they made their concerns known. A rally is scheduled Sept. 16 on the Statehouse steps in Topeka to air differences with Brownback and the new administration.

Crystal McComas, a clinical social worker in Lawrence, is organizing Kansas United along with Tamara Werth, a Lawrence psychiatrist. The two said the galvanizing issue for them was the decision to close the city’s Social and Rehabilitation Services office. After much discussion, the city and Douglas County agreed to pay a portion of the office’s rent to keep the center open.

McComas said the governor seems to be moving ahead with his agenda “when the average Kansan has questions.”

“We believe that Kansans in general didn’t fully understand” what his election meant, she said. “He feels he has a mandate to make changes in the policies Kansans hold dear.”

Werth said the response to the rally has been good and residents across the state are excited to have an opportunity to have their voices heard.

She is anticipating hundreds of participants for the weekday rally and is using social media to spread the word.

Brownback’s spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag didn’t respond directly to the concerns about the policy decisions, or whether the governor is ignoring some residents in the process. She repeated the message Brownback has uttered since the 2010 campaign that the focus is about getting the state economy on solid footing.

“Since January nearly 11,000 private-sector jobs have been created and working with the Kansas Legislature, we turned a deficit into a more than $100 million ending balance,” Jones-Sontag said. “We’ve had some other successes recently, but still have much more work to make our great state even better.”

Zenger CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

typically do and worked his first month — last January — without pay. While some KU faithful will not believe things are changing if Zenger doesn’t initiate widespread firings and loudly condemn the previous regime, Zenger said his first six months on the job set the foundation for what’s still to come.

“I felt that was an advantage with respect to watching how people worked, how the staff and coaches interacted and how the student-athletes competed,” Zenger said about starting a semester early. “The misperception would be that in that four-month window you’re gonna make career decisions about coaches and staff members, but February through May is a very different snapshot of a department as opposed to August through May. You have to be careful.

That snapshot may not represent what you think it does.”

Eye-opening introduction Initially, Zenger watched from a distance, shook tons of hands, made lots of lists — his lists fill notebooks, big and small — and remained mindful of how much he mingled with KU’s studentathletes. He was formulating a plan and wanted it to make an impact when delivered.

“The real work started June 1,” Zenger said. “That’s when we started restructuring the department and infiltrating the philosophy.”

About a week later, at a mandatory all-staff meeting June 9, the kind-faced Zenger delivered his first stern message. His words were driven by passion, anger, determination and pride. Losing, he said, was unacceptable. Laziness, he said, would not be tolerated. Complacency, he said, was for the weak.

“I feel that, internally and externally, there’s been a culture that has evolved that as long as we’re winning in men’s basketball and as long as football’s there every once in a while, things are good,” Zenger said. “That’s not good enough.”

Just like that, the sunny tone of a meeting that many said they believed would be like the first day of class was fraught with hard swallows and open eyes and ears.

Since that day, there have been several changes, not the least of which was the resurfacing of concerns about the future of the Big 12 Conference. Zenger has worked day and night to stay on top of conference realignment and will do so for as long as it takes. Quietly, Zenger has cut in half the number of staff members who report directly to him — a move, he says, that leads to greater accountability. He also brought in a handful of hires paid for with readily available money, not, he noted, by growing the department’s debt.

Three of the new hires came from Illinois State, his previous employer. And they came, as Zenger put it, “because they were part of the guts and heart and soul of what we did there. They’re also here to hold me accountable to what our philosophies have been in the past so that I don’t change.”

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

One of them, Jane Fulton, spent the last six years marveling at the way Zenger works.

“For us, the most crucial thing during that first year was that everyone within the athletic department and every student-athlete got on the same page,” said Fulton, one of the ISU trio, which targets Zenger’s top priorities of student-athlete and donor development as its mission.

coaches, secretaries, whomever.

“I believe this with all my heart, you’ve gotta build it from the inside out,” Zenger said. “If you build something just to please people on the outside, you haven’t built something of substance and, before long, people can see through that.”

Substance. It’s a word that comes up a lot with Zenger. It means a lot to him, too. While transparency is the word that’s in vogue for college athletics departments to use to say they’re acting properly, Zenger is one of the few in his profession who doesn’t use it.

“You do the right thing for the right reason at the right time,” he said. “You get those out of order, you’ve got a problem.”

Different atmosphere Jim Marchiony, a member of the KU athletics department since 2003, said Zenger’s approach on Mount Oread has been well-received. Marchiony noted that the passage of time since the ticket scandal had lightened the mood in the department.

But other factors are at work.

Grape-stomping good time 1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Al-Qaida’s No. 2 reportedly killed U.S. and Pakistani officials said Saturday that alQaida’s second-in-command, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, has been killed in Pakistan, delivering another big blow to a terrorist group that the U.S. believes to be on the verge of defeat.

Al-Rahman was killed Monday in the lawless Pakistani tribal region of Waziristan, according to a senior administration official who insisted on anonymity to discuss intelligence issues.

A Pakistani intelligence official said al-Rahman died in a U.S. missile strike in Machi Khel village in North Waziristan on Monday.

Since Navy SEALs stormed Osama bin Laden’s compound and killed him in May, the Obama administration has been unusually frank in its assessment that al-Qaida is on the ropes, its leadership in disarray. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said last month that al-Qaida’s defeat was within reach if the U.S. could mount a string of successful attacks.

A strategic planning effort at Kansas University Medical Center will seek to increase its research grant funding, improve its teaching of students and expand its outreach efforts in the state.

Barbara Atkinson, KUMC’s executive vice chancellor, said several elements of the plan are already under way.

New simulation centers will have students working with actors trained to simulate a specific illness and robots that can mimic a patient’s symptoms and reactions to different drugs.

Atkinson Students training to be doctors, nurses and other health professionals will use the simulation centers together, Atkinson said.

The plan features some parts that are easier (and cheaper) to implement, such as the formation of an academy of medical educators.

That academy would bring together professors who are serving as the medical

Militants kill dozens Teams of Taliban fighters crossed the Afghan border Saturday and attacked security checkpoints in a previously peaceful region of northwestern Pakistan, killing more than two dozen soldiers and police, Pakistani officials said.

Pakistan has blamed Afghan and NATO forces for not doing enough to stop such cross-border attacks, which could get worse as the U.S. withdraws troops from Afghanistan. The area where Pakistan said Saturday’s attack originated has largely been abandoned by the U.S. in recent years.

Afghan officials denied the militants came from their side of the border. The Afghan government has long said the center of the Taliban insurgency is in Pakistan and has joined the U.S. in criticizing Islamabad for failing to stem the flow of militants into Afghanistan.

Army, feds raid casinos Hundreds of soldiers and federal agents are raiding casinos in this northern city, authorities said Saturday, two days after an arson attack on a gambling house killed 52 people and stunned a country that had become numb to massacres and beheadings.

Security forces had so far confiscated about 1,500 slot machines at 11 casinos in Monterrey and its surroundings and arrested three people, Mexico’s tax agency said. It said the continuing operation was meant to verify whether casinos had paid taxes or introduced slot machines illegally.

Thursday’s arson attack by gunmen was a macabre milestone in a conflict that the government says has claimed more than 35,000 lives since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug cartels in late 2006. Others put the death toll near 40,000.

The torching of the Casino Royale has raised questions over Mexico’s regulatory controls for fastspreading gambling houses.

Bachmann makes energy claims Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann claimed Saturday that the United States has more fuel resources than any other country, but blamed what she termed “radical environmentalists” for bottling up American energy policy.

With untapped oil reserves in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and off the nation’s coasts, shale oil in Western states, and rich natural gas and coal deposits, Bachmann she said the U.S. “is sitting on a mother lode of treasure.”

“The United States is the number one country in the world for energy resources,” the Minnesota congresswoman told a central Florida town hall meeting, arguing that in shale deposits alone the U.S. easily outstrips the total oil supply of Saudi Arabia.

“That doesn’t even include ... all the oil in Alaska.”

Panel predicts ‘gloomy’ future for Kansas education

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Public education advocates painted a bleak picture of funding trends for education in the state during a public forum Saturday at Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. “It’s very gloomy,” said Mark Desetti, director of legislative and policy advocacy for the Kansas National Education Association.

Desetti was one of three panelists who spoke to a crowd of about 60 at the event sponsored by the Douglas County Democratic Party. Kathy Cook, executive director of Kansas Families for Education, and Vanessa Sanburn, Lawrence School Board member, joined Desetti on the panel and expressed similar sentiments.

Sanburn focused on the declining perpupil state funding figures over the past few years. Since 2009, per-pupil funding has dropped more than $600 in Kansas, including a reduction of more than $200 this past year.

“These cuts have been very painful,” Sanburn said. It all leaves teachers working harder with less resources, she said.

The panelists also predicted some heavy political battles looming for the next legislative session. Cook Sanburn predicted that Republican lawmakers will make a strong push for school voucher initiatives, as well as potential changes that might ask local municipalities to raise a larger share of revenue for education.

Cook warned the public to be wary of such moves that may be based on politics, but not what’s best for Kansas students.

“Reform many times is a coded word,” she said.

Local nonprofit agencies and several Kansas University projects received an extra jolt of student power from Super Service Saturday, the last official event of this year’s annual Hawk Week.

About 200 students joined in, traveling to 13 sites across the area, where they pitched in by painting, cleaning or landscaping at agencies such as Independence Inc., Clinton State Park and the Social Service League.

“We’re trying to get them a cool variety of experiences,” said Emily Lamb from the Center for Community Outreach at KU, which organized the annual event. The goal was lending a helping hand to the local nonprofits, and also encouraging KU students to volunteer.

“Hopefully, we’ll inspire them,” she said.

Aubrey Hood, a KU sophomore, was out with about a dozen other students landscaping at the rain garden in front of KU’s Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.

Hood was all smiles, chatting with the other volunteers. She said she came to the event with someone she met at the residence halls and thought it would be a good opportunity to meet some new people.

“And you get free food and free T-shirts,” Hood said.

school’s major educators and teachers and have them work together and mentor junior faculty.

Atkinson said the plan also calls for increased financial transparency on faculty salaries because she wants each faculty member to know the portion of his or her salary that comes from the state.

She said she believed those funds should be to compensate faculty members for teaching.

Those with lighter teaching loads should supplement their income with clinical or grant revenue, she said.

Then, there’s the matter of securing enough funding to implement the more expensive ideas, which can be a challenge, Atkinson said.

This is particularly true for a planned effort to boost research grants. Traditionally, she said, that can require new faculty recruitments or new building space, both of which aren’t cheap.

KUMC will be engaging the Huron Consulting Group

. LAWRENCE that has worked with KU and KUMC to identify systemwide efficiencies in a separate project designed to look for new research opportunities. Costs for that project haven’t yet been determined, she said.

Atkinson said the consultants would help KUMC identify its areas of strength and align its efforts with those that match the efforts of the federal agencies that fund scientific research.

She said the university would also be approaching potential donors to assist with its strategic plan’s goals.

“If you’re very clear about what your goal is, you can ask for money from alumni groups and donors,” she said.

KUMC is also attempting to form a School of Public Health, which would play a role in its new strategic plan.

Though many of the degree programs are already in place, a search for a new dean has been delayed from its original timetable, said Glen Cox, the director of the Institute of Community and Public Health.

The institute is home to the programs that will eventually become the new school.

Before a dean can be re-

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD cruited, the school must raise between $3 million and $5 million, Cox said.

“Even though we’re slowing down a little bit, we’re still on the fast track” to form the new school, he said.

David Cook, associate vice chancellor for outreach at KUMC, said his office would be reorganizing its many outreach efforts — both clinical opportunities and ways for students to interact with different communities — under one organizational structure.

That would allow them to better highlight the office’s efforts to different constituents.

“We’re good Kansans and we’re good Midwesterners — we don’t brag about what we’re doing,” he said.

The office would also include more coordination among outreach and the addition of an external advisory board to advise the school.

His particular efforts are being undertaken without any new funds, he said.

“Dr. Atkinson isn’t writing me a check for any of this,” he said.

BRIEFLY Health clinic taps new director Heartland Community Health Center, a Lawrence safety net clinic, has named Dr. Raul Morffi as its new medical director.

The former director, Dr. John Listerman, retired earlier this month.

Morffi served as chief resident at Smoky Hill Family Practice, a federally funded Community Health Center in Salina. Heartland is working to become the first Community Health Center in Douglas County.

In 2010, Heartland served 1,104 patients through 3,305 appointments.

“I’m excited about the challenge of continuing to build a Community Health Center in Lawrence. We want HCHC to be a community-based effort, ensuring access to quality, holistic, patient-centered

care,” Morffi said.

Morffi, a Lenexa native, began treating patients last week at Heartland on a part-time basis. He also treats patients at Marian Clinic in Topeka and is an employee of St. Francis Health Center.

Low-cost adult vaccines available The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department is able to provide vaccines at a reduced cost for adults who don’t have insurance or whose insurance doesn’t cover them.

Clients who are eligible for two new programs may receive vaccines for the administrative cost of $14.

The vaccines are: !"Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis). The program is sponsored by Sanofi-Pasteur Company and AmeriCares organization.

Kathy Colson, immunization team leader, said it’s important for adults to update their tetanus shot with Tdap vaccine because of the recent resurgence of pertussis, or whooping cough, in the United States, and with vaccine immunity waning over time. "!"MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), varicella (chicken pox), and pneumococcal vaccines. The program is provided by the Merck Co. Colson said the pneumococcal vaccine, which protects against blood and spinal fluid infections, is especially recommended for adults who smoke, have asthma or other chronic health conditions.

“Vaccines not only protect you, but those around you,” Colson said.

• An Ottawa man was taken by helicopter to an area hospital, and two others were transported by ambulance following an early Saturday morning accident on Kansas Highway 68 in Franklin County. Michael McNabb, 22, was driving a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix east in the 100 block of K-68 when the vehicle left the roadway and overturned. McNabb was airlifted to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka.

physical fitness. She said the increased stamina helped her finish the Illinois butter sculpture days ahead of schedule.

This week, she hurried between the Pride of Kansas Building and fair manager Denny Stoecklein’s office in the administration building, trying to coordinate supplies she needed.

“Denny is marvelous, he just says surprise me,” BuMann said, allowing the artist free rein to “go crazy in Kansas” with butter ideas.

A New Yorker, BuMann first got into butter sculptures when the New York State Fair advertised for a butter sculptor and she decided to try.

Butter sculptures have been part of fairs throughout history, according to Pamela Simpson, a Washington and Lee University art history professor. Simpson said the tradition began at the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876 where a bust of a literary heroine in a milk pan over ice was displayed. Refrigeration gave butter sculptures a boost.

A large refrigerator set at 37 degrees will be BuMann’s studio. She’ll be dressed in Under Armour, a rain suit and two layers of rubber gloves as she works.

Meanwhile, preparations are under way on other aspects of this year’s fair.

Across from Ye Old Grill,

workers are creating a new restaurant inside the former Danny’s Smoke House. Ye Old Grill is being remodeled, complete with 100-year-old tin from the roof of a church ceiling in Lewis.

The greatest attraction will be the large round steel grill where the chef will cook, visible to fairgoers as they walk to and from the Midway.

My gift to myself!

I am no longer a slave to food!

I lost 70 pounds and 73 inches!

I

was so sick and tired of being the heaviest person in the room, being physically uncomfortable, spending money on larger and larger clothes and of being a slave to food! Food ruled my life! Whether I was upset, angry or excited, food was my answer. If there was something to celebrate, I would eat. If there was something bothering me, I would eat. Without me even realizing it, my entire life revolved around food.

On my 28th birthday I took a gigantic step toward changing my life. I needed help!

I was scared and I doubted myself. I had always played the role as the heavier person in my group of friends and family. Was I ready to change? After losing 70 pounds I know that MRC was the place for me! I feel like an entirely different person inside and out. It is amazing to walk by a mirror and realize - that is ME! Or try on clothing sizes I thought I would NEVER fit into!

Interstate 435 ! Pavement repair from 87th Street to Midland Drive and on the Holiday Drive interchange ramps in Johnson County. Lane closures from 7 p.m. through U.S. Highway 56 noon Monday through Fri! Resurfacing project day and from 7 p.m. until 1 that began Tuesday will p.m. on the weekend.

I have stayed focused, committed and successful only because this program truly works. Thanks to MRC I’ve learned how to make food work for me - I am now equipped to maintain a healthy weight for life! I feel great and look great because of it! I am truly grateful for the MRC staff! THANK YOU!

Poll: Obama faces trouble with key voters

By Jennifer Agiesta and Ken Thomas Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Whites and women are a re-election problem for President Barack Obama. Younger voters and liberals, too, but to a lesser extent.

All are important Democratic constituencies that helped him win the White House in 2008 and whose support he’ll need to keep it next year.

An analysis of Associated Press-GfK polls, including the latest survey released last week, shows that Obama has lost ground among all those groups since he took office.

The review points to his vulnerabilities and probable leading targets of his campaign as he seeks to assemble a coalition diverse enough to help him win re-election in tough economic times.

In his victory against Arizona Sen. John McCain, Obama cobbled together a base of support from across the political spectrum by wooing Democratic loyalists as well as independents and first- Obama time voters.

This time, Obama’s team is working to build voter outreach organizations and reconnect with supporters in hopes of expanding his pool of voters.

It’s no easy task.

The nation’s high unemployment is weighing on Obama, dragging down his marks for handling the economy. His overall standing has slid, too, after a difficult summer marked by contentious negotiations over the country’s borrowing limit, a downgrade of the nation’s credit rating and concerns about the U.S. falling into another economic recession.

The poll shows that 46 percent now approve of how he’s doing his job, down from 52 percent in June.

Obama will have to win over people such as Brian Arnold, 33, of Pickerington, Ohio. He’s an independent who voted for Obama in 2008 because he liked the Democrat’s outsider image.

Now, Arnold says he’s undecided and down on Obama. “He got elected, it was a big party and after that he went back to being a politician. As soon as he got in office, he just did more of the same.�

The AP analysis looked at the viewpoints of all adults, not just those who plan to vote in 2012. In no way does it predict how Obama will fare with influential demographic groups next fall.

It does, however, indicate which groups will need extra attention in this campaign as he tries to persuade voters to stick with him for another four years.

Among the findings: ! White independent voters, who divided their support evenly between Obama and McCain in 2008, may be the president’s biggest challenge now. Just 3 in 10 white independents say Obama deserves to be reelected and only 41 percent

“

Sometimes he needs to put his foot down and not be the nice guy.� — Democrat Kathleen Salak, 44, of Omaha, Neb., on President Barack Obama say he understands the problems of people like them.

Obama didn’t win the largest share of white voters in 2008, when they made up 74 percent of the electorate.

Still, his inroads were enough to beat McCain.

Fifty-six percent of all whites approved of how he was doing his job in the first three months of his presidency. But that support has fallen, with only 36 percent now liking how he’s doing his job, while 59 say Obama deserves to be voted out of office.

In 2008, Obama won the backing of most whites in the Northeast and was competitive in the Midwest and West, outperforming the previous two Democratic nominees.

Now, majorities of whites in every region but the Northeast say he deserves to lose in 2012 and that he is not a strong leader.

The outlook is negative for Obama among white voters in the Midwest and West, regions where so many electoral votes are at stake.

More than 6 in 10 white voters who did not graduate say the president deserves to be voted from office, while 53 percent of white college graduates say as much. ! Women no longer are a bright spot for Obama.

At the 100-day mark of his presidency, they gave him significantly higher approval ratings than did men, 68 percent to 60 percent. That’s since fallen dramatically.

In the latest AP-GfK survey, less than half of all women and less than half of all men approve of the job Obama is doing. Just 50 percent of women said Obama deserves re-election.

Still, women are more likely than men to see Obama as empathetic or a strong leader, and they give him sharply higher positive ratings on his handling of the economy.

Forty-three percent of women approve, compared with 29 percent of men. ! Younger voters and liberals are showing doubts about him, too.

Obama won younger voters in 2008 by a bigger margin than Democrat Bill Clinton in his victories in 1992 and 1996.

But younger Democrats are no more apt to say the president deserves re-election than are older Democrats. Twentyseven percent of Democrats under age 45 say Obama is not a strong leader, compared with 11 percent in June.

While a majority of liberals continue to say they view Obama as a strong leader, the strength of those opinions dropped sharply this summer. The share of liberals who say “strong leader� describes Obama “very well� has fallen from 53 percent to 29 percent in the aftermath of the debt-ceiling debate. “Sometimes he needs to put his foot down and not be the nice guy,� said Democrat Kathleen Salak, 44, of Omaha, Neb.

Pilot reported low fuel before crash KANSAS CITY, MO. — The pilot of a medical helicopter that crashed in a Missouri field had reported that it was low on fuel, federal transportation officials say, but it could be as much as a year before they know what caused the crash that killed all four people onboard.

The Eurocopter AS-350, owned by Colorado-based Air Methods Corp. and flown by its subsidiary, LifeNet, crashed just before 7 p.m. Friday two miles from Mosby, where it had planned to land at the Midwest National Air Center for refueling. The helicopter’s ultimate destination was a suburban Kansas City hospital, about 10 miles from Mosby.

The pilot, two medical crew members and a 58-year-old female patient were killed.

The helicopter had flown

from St. Joseph, where it is sometimes based at Heartland Regional Medical Center, to Bethany, near the Iowa border, to pick up the patient before heading to Liberty to drop her off.

National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson said there was no distress call from the helicopter and no witnesses to the accident.

Lynn Lunsford, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said it was too early to determine whether fuel had anything to do with the crash.

Air Methods Corp. on Saturday identified crew members as Randy Bever, 47, a flight nurse from Savannah, Mo.; Chris Frakes, 36, a flight paramedic from Savannah; and James Freudenbert, 34, a pilot from Rapid City, S.D.

LIBYA

Rebels’ task at hand overwhelming

By Hamza Hendawi and Karin Laub Associated Press

TRIPOLI, LIBYA — For 42 years, during the long rule of Moammar Gadhafi, the Libyan government barely even existed: state institutions had little power, the military was kept purposefully weak, tribal divisions were magnified.

Gadhafi was the Brother Leader, the Guide of the Revolution, the King of Kings of Africa. He had no need for an effective government.

Now, a motley assortment of rebels who have forced Gadhafi from power must move fast to create what modern Libya never had, from the rule of law to an inclusive political system. It’s a tall order, but the alternative could be similar to post-Saddam Iraq.

“Don’t expect miracles.

If you want miracles, look for them elsewhere,” a rebel spokesman, Mahmoud Shammam, warned Saturday.

“We don’t want to repeat the experience of Baghdad,” Mahmoud Jibril, deputy chairman of the rebels’ National Transitional Council, said after opposition fighters poured into Tripoli, heralding the end of Gadhafi’s regime, although the leader himself is still missing. “The whole world is looking at Libya. We must not sully the final page of the revolution.”

But the signals are far from clear, and the challenges to the rebels — a disparate group that includes former Gadhafi insiders, wealthy businessmen and semiautonomous militias — are enormous.

Controlling tension levels Authoritarian Arab rulers like Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak managed to prevent simmering tensions from boiling over during most of their long years in power, creating the appearance of stability while unwittingly sowing the seeds of future violence.

Saddam’s 2003 ouster after

“

We are starting from almost zero point in this situation.”

— Mahmoud Shammam, a rebel spokesman the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, for example, unleashed a seismic wave of sectarian violence in which tens of thousands were killed. In Egypt, Mubarak’s Feb. 11 departure sparked a surge in crime, an explosion of labor unrest and the emergence of Muslim extremists as a powerful political force.

Libya faces many of the same challenges as those countries, and in some ways even more. Because while Gadhafi seized power in a coup and held no formal title, he had fewer limits on power than any other Arab leader.

Libyan society was, in effect, governed by his whims.

“A lot of good can be said about the (rebel) National Transitional Council, but no one knows whether this will be enough once it is in charge after the end of civil war,” said Dirk J. Vandewalle, a Libya expert at Dartmouth College in the United States.

Already organizing Certainly, the rebels are trying. After sweeping into Tripoli, they formed a new, 24-member city council, announcing it with a declaration in an empty ballroom at a luxury hotel Thursday even as battles raged with proGadhafi holdouts elsewhere in the city.

In some neighborhoods, the rebels have also helped organize garbage collection — a major issue, with months of trash piled up on street corners — and many city residents, enjoying their new freedom, are pitching in.

While most shops remain closed, local councils are springing up across Tripoli. In the Souk al-Jumma neighborhood, a former police lieutenant, Shukri Dernawi, is orga-

nizing a local police force.

“We are starting from almost zero point in this situation,” said Shammam, the rebels’ spokesman.

Jibril, the rebel deputy chairman, outlined a roadmap for the country’s transition to democratic rule this week during a visit to Paris.

He said a “national congress” would soon be formed to create a committee to draft a constitution. Parliamentary elections will be held within four months after the document is written, and the speaker of the legislature will act as president until presidential elections are held.

Officials say an interim government should be operating in Tripoli within a month. But a smooth transition to democracy could be undermined in many ways.

No guarantees for future This country has never experienced democratic rule and it is by no means certain that a multiparty system would work in Libya, where much of life is guided by tribal loyalties.

Signs also have emerged that the rebel leadership is unable to ensure discipline among its fighters.

Arguments often erupt among rebels manning checkpoints across the city over whether to let motorists pass. When regime loyalists are detained, some of the captors slap or push them, while others try to restrain their more aggressive colleagues, especially when foreign journalists are present.

Associated Press reporters in Tripoli have seen rebels kicking and spitting on wounded Gadhafi loyalists as they were being taken to a hospital, though, in other cases, regime loyalists have been treated side by side with wounded rebel fighters.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has expressed concern about the treatment of detainees by both sides, but has given no specifics.

Irene CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

to run on generator power.

“Things are banging against the house,” Leon Reasor said as he rode out the storm in the town of Buxton, N.C. “I just hate hurricanes.”

Eastern North Carolina got 10 to 14 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service. Virginia’s Hampton Roads area was drenched with at least nine inches, with 16 reported in some spots.

By late Saturday night, the storm had sustained winds of 80 mph, down from 100 mph on Friday. That made it a Category 1, the least threatening on a 1-to-5 scale, and barely stronger than a tropical storm.

Nevertheless, it was still considered highly dangerous, capable of causing ruinous flooding across much of the East Coast with a combination of storm surge, high tides and 6 to 12 inches of rain.

Irene was moving northnortheast at 16 mph, slightly faster than it had been earlier in the day, giving it somewhat less opportunity to dump on any particular area. But a typical hurricane would be moving much faster, 25 to 30 mph, said senior hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart of the National Hurricane Center.

Moving slowly over the relatively colder water could weaken the storm, but Stewart said Irene will still likely be a hurricane when it makes landfall in the New York area around noon today.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett warned that the state will not necessarily be out of danger once the storm has passed: “The rivers may not crest until Tuesday or Wednesday. This isn’t just a 24-hour event.”

As of Saturday evening, Irene was hugging the U.S. coastline on a path that could scrape every state along the Eastern Seaboard. Ed Rappaport, deputy director of the National Hurricane Center in Florida, said it would be a “low-end hurricane, high-end tropical storm” by the time it crossed the New York City area late this morning.

The storm is so large that areas far from Irene’s center are going to be feeling strong winds and getting large amounts of rain, he said.

“It is a big, windy, rainy event,” he said.

Hurricane-related deaths The deaths blamed on Irene included two children, an 11-year-old boy in Virginia killed when a tree crashed through his roof and a North Carolina child who died in a crash at an intersection where traffic lights were out. Four other people were killed by falling trees or tree limbs — two in separate Virginia incidents, one in North Carolina and one in Maryland. A surfer and another beachgoer in Florida were killed in heavy waves.

It was the first hurricane to make landfall in the continental United States since 2008 and came almost six years to the day after Katrina ravaged New Orleans on Aug. 29, 2005. Experts guessed that no other hurricane in American history had threatened as many people.

TURNSTILES WERE BARRICADED WITH CAUTION TAPE shortly before the New York City Subway system suspended service for the first time ever, as preparations were made for Hurricane Irene on Saturday.

Hurricane hurts NYC retailers NEW YORK (AP) — Many stores in New York were closed on Saturday as Hurricane Irene neared, with some posting comical signs like “Blame the weatherman. Not us” and “Evidently ‘The Show Must Go On!’ means nothing to Irene.” But New York’s shopping districts still were bustling as people piled into any store that was open.

Merci Market in Chelsea had long lines as people bought deli sandwiches and fancier fare.

People filed into The Container Store in Midtown to grab plastic boxes so they can use their indoor time constructively to organize. And parents crowded into Toys ‘R’ Us in Times Square to snag toys and games so their children won’t get bored.

“It’s business as usual,” a store official at Harry Winston, the exclusive jewelry retailer, said her state’s coast, but that some areas were unreachable because of high water or downed power lines.

“Folks are cut off in parts of North Carolina, and obviously we’re not going to get anybody to do an assessment until it’s safe,” she said.

At least 2.3 million people were under orders to move to somewhere safer, though it was unclear how many obeyed or, in some cases, how they could.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told 6,500 troops from all branches of the military to get ready to pitch in on relief work, and President Barack Obama visited the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s command center in Washington and offered moral support.

“It’s going to be a long 72 hours,” he said, “and obviously a lot of families are going to be affected.”

In New York, authorities undertook the herculean job of bringing the city to a halt.

The subway began shutting down at noon, the first time the system was closed because of a natural disaster.

On Wall Street, sandbags were placed around subway grates near the East River because of fear of flooding.

Tarps were spread over other grates. Construction stopped throughout the city, and workers at the site of the World Trade Center dismantled a crane and secured equipment.

The city was far quieter than on an average Satur-

shortly after the store opened.

The hurricane, which could hit New York this morning, comes in the thick of the critical back-toschool shopping season, a time between mid-July and September that is typically the second biggest shopping period of the year. For some big retailers, Manhattan is particularly important because it can account for as much as 10 percent of their annual revenue. A washout could have a huge impact on retailers’ top and bottom lines: Nationally, weather research firm Planalytics estimates that Irene will stop 80 million shoppers from hitting the malls this weekend.

“This is a worst-case scenario,” said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America’s Research Group. “This was supposed to be a prime weekend for apparel retailers.” day. In some of the busiest parts of Manhattan, it was possible to cross a major avenue without looking, and the waters of New York Harbor, which might normally be churning from boat traffic, were quiet. About 370,000 people living in low-lying areas of the city, mostly in Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, were under orders to clear out.

“The time to leave is right now,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at an outdoor news conference at Coney Island, his shirt soaked from rain.

Calvin Klein les from New fall sty aker. a classic m

The New York area’s major airports — LaGuardia, Kennedy and Newark — waved in their last arriving flights around noon. The Giants and Jets postponed their preseason NFL game, the Mets postponed two baseball games, and Broadway theaters were dark.

New York has seen only a few hurricanes in the past 200 years. The Northeast is much more used to snowstorms — including the blizzard last December, when Bloomberg was criticized for a slow response.

Airlines said 9,000 flights were canceled, including 3,000 on Saturday. The number of passengers affected could easily be millions because so many flights make connections on the East Coast.

Greyhound suspended bus service between Richmond, Va., and Boston. Amtrak canceled trains in the Northeast for today.

In Philadelphia, Mayor Michael Nutter declared a state of emergency, the first for the city since 1986, when racial tensions were running high.

“We are trying to save lives and don’t have time for silliness,” he said.

The storm arrived in Washington just days after an earthquake damaged some of the capital’s most famous structures, including the Washington Monument. Irene could test Washington’s ability to protect its national treasures and its poor.

HURRICANE IRENE

Thousands of flights canceled

By Samantha Bomkamp

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Travelers across the country are facing days of grief ahead as thousands of flights get canceled because of Hurricane Irene.

Airlines are scrapping more than 9,000 flights this weekend from North Carolina to Boston, grounding passengers as Irene sweeps up the East Coast. There were more than 3,600 cancellations on Saturday alone.

All New York City-area airports closed to arriving flights at noon on Saturday, when the city’s public transportation system shut down.

The biggest airlines, United Continental Holdings Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc., canceled thousands of flights each. United Continental, the world’s largest airline, suspended operations altogether in the New York area.

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport were both open Saturday afternoon, but most flights had been canceled.

Airlines declined to say how many passengers would be affected by the hurricane, but the numbers will likely reach into the millions. That’s because so many flights, both domestic and international, make connections through major East Coast hub airports. Even passengers not flying anywhere near the East coast could be delayed for days as airlines work to get planes and crews back into position.

Train and bus service was also cut back. Greyhound suspended service between Richmond, Va. and Boston for the weekend. Amtrak reduced its Northeast schedule Saturday and canceled all trains from Washington to Boston today. Amtrak has five main routes throughout the Northeast, each serving multiple cities, as well as regional service in Virginia and several long-distance trains that start and end in the area.

Obama visits FEMA command center WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama offered moral support Saturday to federal emergency management workers hunkered down for Hurricane Irene’s weekend march up the East Coast and 14,000 activeduty and National Guard troops were put on standby for poststorm relief work.

“Everybody here, you guys are doing a great job,” Obama told dozens of workers on a visit to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s command center. Fully activated and operating around the clock, the center helps coordinate the federal response to natural disasters.

Obama was accompanied

by FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and John Brennan, his assistant for homeland security.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, meanwhile, told 6,500 active-duty troops to be prepared to help after Irene passes. Panetta issued a prepare-to-deploy order for troops from all branches of the military after affected states requested possible help, spokesman George Little said.

The troops could be used for tasks such as search-and-rescue, medical help, engineering, construction and transportation, defense officials said.

At least 7,500 National Guard troops also were prepared to deploy if needed, said Maj. Gen. David Harris, director of operations for the National Guard Bureau.

At the National Response Coordination Center, Obama said he was keeping close watch on the storm. The White House said top aides had updated him on Irene before the visit to FEMA headquarters.

Obama held a conference call Saturday evening with top members of his administration including Vice President Joe Biden, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Fugate, Brennan and Napolitano.

The White House said the president asked to be kept apprised of developments throughout the night and said that he wants the group to reconvene this morning.

2 million lose power as storm moves north

By Chris Kahn Associated Press

Two million homes and businesses were without power early today as Hurricane Irene slammed into the East Coast and charged north.

Winds of up to 115 miles per hour whipped across the Eastern Seaboard, ripping power lines from poles and snapping trees in half. Hospitals, emergency call centers and other crucial facilities were holding up, but officials said it could get much worse as Irene churns north.

Gasoline supplies were falling as drivers fill up before leaving town or just top off their tanks as a precaution before the storm hits. Pump prices rose about 3 cents per gallon overnight in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Dominion Resources reported outages for more than 900,000 of its customers in Virginia and North Carolina, while Progress Energy reported 190,000 customers without power.

Duke Energy said 1,500 customers were in the dark. Pepco, which serves Maryland, Washington D.C., parts of New Jersey and Delaware, reported nearly 80,000 outages.

Baltimore Gas & Electric said nearly 250,000 of its customers were without power.

In eastern Pennsylvania, PECO reported nearly 140,000 customers without power.

New York’s biggest utility, Consolidated Edison, said it could cut power to the city’s most vulnerable areas if the storm causes serious flooding. Salt water and rain can damage electrical equipment.

ConEd operations chief John Miksad said the utility doesn’t expect to cut power before the storm hits, but flooding today could bring a shutdown to areas including the southern tip of Manhattan. That would cut off power to major Wall Street institutions through parts of next week.

The New York Stock Exchange has backup generators and can run on its own, a spokesman said. The exchange expects to open as usual Monday morning, though it may change plans depending on the severity of the storm.

New York is regularly blasted by winter storms, but Miksad said this hurricane will be different. Irene’s wind will pack a stronger punch than a nor’easter last March that knocked out power to 175,000 customers, he said.

ConEd has called in crews from as far as Colorado to help repair damage from the storm.

Irene is expected to be a brutal test for Middle Atlantic States, which haven’t seen a hurricane since 1999.

The storm is expected to stay just offshore — and thus retain much of its power — as it inches up the coast from North Carolina to New England. When a hurricane hits land, wind speeds diminish.

The entire Eastern Seaboard lies in the storm’s projected path. Flooding and damage from winds are likely. North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island have declared emergencies. For the first time, New York City ordered people in low-lying areas to evacuate.

Power companies have called in several hundred workers from surrounding states to help. Crews were rushing out between bands in the hurricane, when the wind and rain ease. They’re looking for damage first at towering transmission lines, where an outage could put an entire county in the dark.

The storm has already caused gasoline supplies to fall as refueling barges wait out the storm off the coast.

Widespread power outages could lead to fuel shortages as gas stations are no longer able to pump gas or have trouble replenishing their own gas supplies.

Tax transparency To make informed decisions, Kansans need signs to know exact locations of special tax districts.

I

n this day and age when taxes are receiving as much attention as ever, you would expect our political leaders to insist on transparency for the taxes we do pay.

But that isn’t always the case. There are now at least 43 locations across Kansas, including two in Lawrence, that charge a special sales tax that is over and above the standard sales tax charged in their communities.

Do you know where the 43 are?

Many people don’t. It is becoming increasingly common for a merchant on one side of the street to have one sales tax while a similar merchant on the other side of the street could have a sales tax up to 2 percent higher.

Lawrence took a positive step this week in addressing the issue locally. Commissioners directed staff members to create an ordinance that would require all special taxing districts in the city to post signs that alert shoppers to the higher tax.

That seems fair. Often, these special taxes help provide better parking or grander amenities than exist For good or bad, such in typical comincentives are bemercial developcoming an important ments. Shoppers may well decide component in atthe shoptracting national and that ping experience regional retailers to is worth an extra a community. Lawsales tax.

But voters rence can’t afford to need to have watch its sales tax the tax informabase erode while we tion presented make a stand based to them, so they can “vote with on principle. their feet.”

Wichita also requires signs alerting shoppers that they are in a special taxing district. But many communities do not. Lawrence city commissioners said they likely will ask state legislators to consider a law that would require all special taxing districts in Kansas to post signs notifying shoppers of the sales tax differences.

That would level the playing field, and perhaps would quiet some of the critics of these special taxing districts.

The districts have been particularly controversial in Lawrence. It is understandable that residents aren’t excited about any additional taxes, but Lawrence leaders need to be open to the special taxing districts now that a sign ordinance will be part of the equation.

For good or bad, such incentives are becoming an important component in attracting national and regional retailers to a community.

Lawrence can’t afford to watch its sales tax base erode while we make a stand based on principle.

With signs that alert shoppers to the special taxes, shoppers would be empowered to make their own informed decisions. It seems reasonable that shoppers across the state have such power as well. City commissioners should follow through on efforts to lobby state legislators to make special taxing districts more transparent.

And we urge legislators who cringe at the thought of raising taxes to consider this: If your constituents don’t want you to raise taxes, do you really believe they want you to hide existing ones?

School choice plays out in Colorado CASTLE ROCK, COLO. — The red stone outcropping that gives this community its name is just a facet of the histrionic geology of Douglas County that sprawls prettily along the front range of the Rockies south of Denver. The county is named, Lord knows why, for Stephen Douglas, who defeated Abraham Lincoln in Illinois’ 1858 U.S. Senate election. Lincoln opposed Douglas’ repugnant “popular sovereignty” plan for allowing territories to vote for or against accepting slavery. Today, Douglas County has an admirable plan for popular sovereignty in education: school choice.

But the plan has been disrupted by a judge who says, among other things, that providing parents with scholarship money that can be spent at religious or secular schools violates Colorado’s Constitution. That document says “no person shall be required to attend or support any ministry or place of worship, religious sect or denomination against his consent.”

Such “compelled support” clauses in state constitutions were written to prevent establishment of official state religions.

But Douglas County’s scholarship program is religiously neutral, enabling families to choose whatever school best suits their children.

Prudently, opponents of the program do not claim that it violates the U.S. Constitution’s proscription of “establishment” of religion. In 2002, the Supreme Court, considering an Ohio pro-

The plan has been disrupted by a judge who says, among other things, that providing parents with scholarship money that cane be spent at religious or secular violates Colorado’s Constitution.”

gram legally indistinguishable from Douglas County’s, said the Constitution is not violated by a scholarship plan that is “neutral with respect to religion” and involves parents directing government aid to schools by their “own genuine and independent private choice.” The Wisconsin Supreme Court, ruling on a similar school choice program in Milwaukee, cited the U.S. Supreme Court: “The crucial question is not whether some benefit accrues to a religious institution as a consequence of the legislative program, but whether its principal or primary effect advances religion.”

The judge ruled against Douglas County at the behest of the

American Civil Liberties Union, which is indiscriminately opposed to any public money reaching any religious institution in any way, and by others eager to protect public schools from competition.

School choice usually is sought by poor parents victimized by failing schools in inner cities. Douglas County’s embrace of choice is notable because the median household income here is $99,522 and only 1.9 percent of families are below the poverty line. The county opted for choice because a few years ago conservatives were elected to the school board, and conservatives are pro-choice about most things — owning guns, driving SUVs, using incandescent light bulbs, etc.

— other than killing pre-born babies. Liberals are pro-choice mostly about the latter.

In 1925, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the constitutional right of parents “to direct the ... education of children under their control.” This might seem to be a facet of the privacy right so dear to liberals (see above: abortion). Be that as it may, Douglas County’s 500 scholarships empower parents to exercise the right the U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed. And the right Colorado’s Supreme Court affirmed two years later: In 1927, it upheld the “right of parents to have their children taught where, when, how, what and by whom they may judge best.”

This is not an abstract legal question for Diana and Mark Oakley, whose son Nate, 13, has socialization problems associ-

ated with Asperger’s syndrome.

Desperately unhappy at a large public school, he is, thanks to his scholarship, flourishing at a small private school.

The Oakleys have taken a line of credit to cover the $11,325 of tuition not covered by the $4,575 scholarship and other aid they have received. Such scholarships cost the county less than the more than $8,000 it spends per public school pupil, so the program frees up money for public schools.

Mark and Jeanette Anderson wanted their son Max, 8, to have the math instruction offered by a small private school where he described his initial visit as “the best seven hours of my life.” This school, with just 31 students, is in peril because it hired two teachers in anticipation of the 12 scholarship students whose aid is now in jeopardy. Derrick and Florence Doyle want the religious dimension of the Catholic school they have chosen. These parents are represented by the Virginia-based Institute for Justice, which has helped make the case law that will, eventually, vindicate the county.

The judge did not enjoin the scholarship program until Aug. 12, when many scholarship recipients were already enrolled in their schools. Happily, many of these schools are trying to keep their scholarship students, pending the predictable decision by a higher court that the disrupting judge has ignored settled law.

Lawrence voters were being asked to vote for the second time on the YEARS proposed Holcom AGO Recreation Center.

IN 1986 Since first being approved in April 1985, the project had increased $300,000 in costs. City commissioners had unanimously approved placing on the November ballot a request for the issuance of up to $1 million in general obligation bonds for construction of the center.

Workers at Kansas University’s Allen Fieldhouse were hard at work sanding and repainting the home floor for the 1986-1987 basketball season. The center would feature a map of Kansas instead of a large Jayhawk.

News flash: Congresswoman has spine I am pleased to report the sighting of an artifact so rarely seen among Democrats that it has become the stuff of legend and conjecture, like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster. It is called a spine.

Said spine was briefly glimpsed a little over a week ago at a “jobs summit” in Inglewood, Calif., in the person of Rep. Maxine Waters. “I’m not afraid of anybody,” the California Democrat said. “...

And as far as I’m concerned, the ‘tea party’ can go straight to hell.”

Her words left the Tea Party Patriots sputtering about the need to play nice. “The president and all leaders of the Democratic Party, who have called for civility in the past, are neglecting to censure their own,” the group said, according to The Washington Post. “Is civility only required from their opponents?” Which is funnier than a Bill Cosby monologue, coming from the folks who turned town hall meetings into verbal brawls and threw rocks through windows because they opposed health-care reform.

I intend no blanket lionization here of Rep. Waters, who is the object of a protracted ethics probe and whom I have for years privately dubbed “Mad Max,” in both consternation and admiration of her feistiness. Moreover, as hypocritical and self-serving as the Tea Party Patriots’ statement is, it is also correct: telling people to go to hell is about as uncivil as it gets. I could never, in ordinary times, applaud such conduct.

But no one will ever mistake

To put that another way: after you have reasoned with the bully, bargained with the bully, tried to appease the bully, sometimes the only remaining option is to punch the bully in the nose.

these for ordinary times.

These are, rather, times in which the nation’s civic dialogue, the ordinary political business of give and take, has been made hostage to the whims of a loud, incoherent minority that has used its very extremism as a weapon. Seventy percent of us, according to a Gallup poll, think both tax increases and spending cuts ought to be used to reduce the budget deficit. That reasonable, balanced approach was not a part of the debt ceiling deal because the tea party threatened, credibly, to push the nation into default rather than allow it.

Republicans have been shame-

fully complaisant toward this behavior, unable to produce a stateswoman — or man — willing to stand up for the simple idea that one should put national welfare above ideological purity.

Democrats have been their usual hapless, communicatively-challenged selves, the congressional equivalent of the kid in school who walks around all day with “Kick Me” taped to his back, then wonders why people keep kicking him.

The need of a viable third party has seldom been more apparent.

What is lost here, though, is not simply points for a given party but, rather, our very ability to compromise, which is, after all, the soul of politics. Nor, obviously, will Waters’ intemperate remark do anything to bring that ability back.

But it does acknowledge a reality President Obama refuses to accept: compromise requires a partner. When the other party’s bottom line is that you fail, when that is the opponent’s prime directive, the most important item on their agenda, then you lack both that partner and any basis for negotiation.

To put that another way: after you have reasoned with the bully, bargained with the bully, tried to appease the bully, sometimes the only remaining option is to punch the bully in the nose.

That’s what Maxine Waters just did. Good for her.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 28, 1911: YEARS “Two weeks from AGO today the vacation IN 1911 time will officially be declared over.

On that date there will be a rummaging about and a general bringing forth of books, etc., from their three months’ sojourn among the moth balls, for the kiddies must go back to the school house to wrestle with the weighty matter contained between the pages that have been closed so long.”

Questions mark end of genocide case WICHITA — An attorney for a Kansas man accused of committing atrocities during the Rwandan genocide says the Justice Department decided to drop charges after prosecutors were threatened with sanctions for withholding evidence.

Attorney Melanie Morgan says it was a seriCOURTS ous mistake that she would not have expected experienced prosecutors to make.

The defense offered its glimpse into the behind-thescenes negotiations that brought an end to the costly prosecution touted as the first in the nation requiring proof of genocide after a judge tossed out all charges against Lazare Kobagaya.

Prosecutors asked a judge on Thursday to overturn the verdict and dismiss the entire indictment after spending more than $1 million to convict the 84-year-old Burundian immigrant of visa fraud. Prosecutors say the nondisclosure was a mistake.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY DEFENSIVE LINEMEN, FROM LEFT, PATRICK DORSEY, TOBEN OPURUM AND RICHARD JOHNSON MADE IT A PRIORITY over the offseason to work on their quickness. Dorsey will miss six to eight weeks with a broken foot, so Opurum and Johnson will be relied upon to carry the defensive line early in the season.

KU’s D-linemen place added emphasis on quickness

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

After spending last season with the defensive linemen, Toben Opurum can already tell this year’s group is improved.

“Really, from top to bottom,” the junior outside linebacker said, “the D-line has gotten faster.”

It’ll have to be if the Jayhawks hope to perform well against the massive offensive linemen of the Big 12.

During an era when many defensive linemen weigh 300 pounds or more, KU only has one defensive lineman listed on the roster above 300 pounds (John Williams). Every other defensive lineman weighs 285 pounds or less.

BRIGHT FUTURE? Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger will deliver a message on Monday that he hopes will change the face of KU athletics. Story on page 1A

Zenger

“You’ve got to use what you have to your advantage,” Opurum said. “If you’re one of the bigger defensive lines, you can overpower people a lot, bring pressure to the quarterback and use that to your advantage. Whereas

we have to use our speed as the advantage.”

KU defensive coordinator Vic Shealy, who has implemented a switch to a 3-4 defense this season, said he isn’t worried about his defensive linemen being undersized.

He used senior defensive tackle Pat Dorsey as an example.

Though Dorsey — who is out six to eight weeks with a broken foot — is only listed at 6 feet, 273 pounds, in the summer he bench pressed 500 pounds, with coaches telling him not to put any more on the bar because of a potential injury risk.

Dorsey squatted around 700 pounds.

“He’s not without strength,” Shealy said. “I’d much rather

have a guy like that at 285 than to have a guy who’s at 330 who just doesn’t quite have all the athletic pieces.”

Lighter but quicker is actually what KU prefers in its linemen, at least at this point.

One doesn’t need to look any further than junior defensive tackle Williams. During the 2009 season, Williams — he was an offensive lineman — was listed at 309 pounds.

He’s actually dropped weight since becoming a defensive lineman. Last year he was 290; this year, he’s listed at 305.

“Understand that we could have told John to get 330 pounds, but now you become an unathletic guy Please see D-LINE, page 3B

CHIEFS

Focused Haley sticking to plan

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Todd Haley is sticking with The Plan.

What that means, exactly, only he knows.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach arrived at training camp after an atypical offseason and decided to go about things a little differently than his peers.

Whereas most other coaches tried to play catch up by putting their guys in pads and ramping up the contact early on, Haley

chose to bring the Chiefs along methodically, working on their conditioning and slowly building them up.

The results have been mixed.

The Chiefs have lost all three of their games — though Haley is 1-10 in the preseason, so that’s nothing new. But they’ve also fared better with each passing week, the margin of defeat in each game slowly dwindling.

After a 14-10 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Friday night, the Chiefs have one preseason game remaining before the regular

season, against the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers.

Then Haley will know whether The Plan has paid off.

“We’ve got another three practices and be on a plane,” Haley said. “Again, I believe in the guys. We’ll get a good week in and go out to Green Bay. We’ve got to get things going.

Charlie Riedel/AP Photo You never say you have to this or that or the other, but I’d like KANSAS CITY CHIEFS COACH TODD HALEY to see us start to get some suc- TALKS with punter Dustin Colquitt (2) on Friday in Kansas City, Mo. Despite the Chiefs’ cess.” miserable preseason so far, Haley is confident Please see CHIEFS, page 5B in his plan.

Kansas University basketball newcomer Kevin Young didn’t cite Tyshawn Taylor’s speed, Thomas Robinson’s strength and/or Elijah Johnson’s hops when asked to identify what’s impressed him the most so far about the 2011-12 Jayhawk team.

The 6-foot-8, 190-pound junior transfer out of Loyola Marymount University named an intangible — one that figures to serve the squad well in a rebuilding/reloading season.

“It’s the high level of basketball IQ,” said Young, who arrived on campus in mid-June — and, save for a two-week trip to his hometown of Perris, Calif.

— has been busy bonding with his new teammates.

“Like before we went out to play open gym yesterday, the older guys took me aside and a couple other younger guys and taught us the plays to let us know what’s going on. While we play, if we make a mistake that they know coach (Bill Self) would get on us for, they get on it themselves to mentor us,” Young added.

He said the main leaders in daily pick-up games have been juniors Robinson and Johnson and senior Taylor.

“It’s mostly a group effort.

Everybody has something to say,” Young said. “In the post, if I don’t seal the right way, Jeff (Withey) or Justin (Wesley) will come over and say, ‘You’ve got to do it like this.’ If I don’t cut to the basket, (Conner) Teahan or Jordan (Juenemann) will be, ‘Hey, you’ve got to do this.’ It’s a great team and great bunch of guys to be around.”

It goes without saying Young has also been impressed with the actual action on the court.

“Tyshawn and Thomas — those two on the court at the same time — it’s pretty amazing,” Young said. “(Robinson) is very smart and very skilled.

He wants to push us as much as we want to push ourselves.

Tyshawn will sit there and coach us on the side when we are not in the game or when we are in the game he’ll push us as much as T-Rob.” Young — he didn’t play last year while focusing on academics Please see YOUNG, page 3B

Cabrera, Thome propel Tribe over Royals

Tony Dejak/AP Photo

ALEX GORDON (4) WATCHES a homer in the seventh inning. Nonetheless, the Royals fell to the Indians, 8-7, on Saturday in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND — Asdrubal Cabrera helped Jim Thome celebrate his 41st birthday in true slugger’s style.

Two innings after Thome hit his 602nd career homer, Cabrera belted a three-run shot with two outs in the eighth inning to lift the Cleveland Indians to an 8-7 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.

“It felt great. Great because we won the game,” Cabrera said after connecting on a 1-1 pitch

from Louis Coleman (1-4) to give the Indians their 21st lastat-bat win and 32nd comeback triumph overall.

Second-place Cleveland remained 61⁄2 games behind Detroit in the AL Central, while the last-place Royals dropped to 21-28 in one-run games, 4-17 on the road.

“It’s a very important win,” manager Manny Acta said. “We never gave up. We’ve done it all year. It was a roller coaster

of emotions, but fortunately we won and we’ll keep trying to win and see where it takes us.”

Joe Smith (3-3) got the final out in the eighth for the win and Chris Perez pitched the ninth for his 29th save. Perez threw out a runner trying to go to third on a sacrifice bunt, then fanned two Royals to end it.

“That was a quality save and great play on the bunt,” Acta said. “It takes guts to do that type of play.”

Perez said that he thought about the situation before Alcides Escobar — bunting on his own — tried to sacrifice.

“I’ve got to make that play,” the right-hander said. “I had time that if the runner was going to get to third, I could still get an out at first.”

Escobar stole second and Perez struck out two tough lefties in Alex Gordon and Melky Cabrera Please see ROYALS, page 5B

AP source: A&M still leaving Big 12

By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press Sports Writer

Big 12 officials expect Texas A&M to announce within the next week that it plans to leave the conference.

A person with knowledge of what was discussed during a conference call of the Big 12 board of directors Saturday told The Associated Press that Texas A&M officials talked about their anticipated departure. “No major surprises,� said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the talks. “A&M didn’t say they were leaving, but

certainly gave every indication that’s what they plan on doing.�

As for the timing of such a move, that person said, “it would not be a surprise that it would happen sometime this week� and likely the only thing that could keep that from happening would be if the 12-team SEC determines it is not ready to add any more teams at this point.

The Aggies have publicly expressed interest in joining the SEC and on Thursday formally informed Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe in a letter from school President R. Bowen Loftin that Texas A&M was exploring all of its options.

Among items discussed during Saturday’s call was how much money Texas A&M would forfeit for leaving the conference and likely negotiations of that amount, which could be $20 million or more.

SEC presidents and chancellors met two weeks ago and reaffirmed their “satisfaction with the present 12 institutional alignment.� But they also acknowledged the possibility of future expansion and discussed criteria for that.

If Texas A&M leaves the Big 12, the move could trigger another shakeup across college sports.

Texas A&M would have to

By Tim Dahlberg Associated Press Sports Columnist

If nothing else, you have to give North Korea credit for being creative. Not that the country had much choice after five of its players tested positive for steroids at the Women’s World Cup this summer.

As excuses go, it was world class material. The players, North Korean officials insisted, had done nothing more than engage in some traditional musk deer gland therapy as part of their preparations for the tournament.

After being struck by lightning, that is.

Unfortunately, the people running World Cup had apparently heard that one before. On Thursday they suspended the players for up to 18 months, and banned North Korea from the 2015 tournament.

Some excuses are believable. Others simply aren’t.

Forget North Korea for a moment, and study this whopper from closer to home.

It comes from Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas, who said this week that he was sleeping when a car driven by a teammate was pulled over earlier this summer and the officer who made the stop thought he smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the car.

Sleeping. While cornerback Cliff Harris was behind the wheel, cruising at 118 mph down Interstate 5.

Here’s a tip: Get all your cash and head for Vegas right now. Put it on Oregon to win the national championship. If Thomas is cool enough to sleep in a car going 118 mph, not much will rattle him on the field.

Last summer Thomas was in a car when then-quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was stopped for a traffic violation and marijuana was found in his car.

It doesn’t seem to bother Oregon coach Chip Kelly. He understands how it is when a student with little money needs a ride. “I’m not punishing someone for being a passenger,� Kelly said.

Excuses. We all have them. Sometimes, as is the case in Miami these days, they’re all the same.

The president of the university has weighed in. So have former coaches, administrators and even some players.

None of them, it seems, had any idea that players were being provided with cash and prostitutes, or engaged in wild parties at Miami’s finest strip clubs. As for convicted con man Nevin Shapiro? Never heard of him.

And what about the excuse Lakers forward Ron Artest had to give friends for postponing a barbecue he was planning to celebrate his name change? Artest was all set to become Metta World Peace on Friday until a Los Angeles court commissioner delayed ruling on his name change petition.

Turns out Peace, er, Artest, had some outstanding traffic warrants to clear up before giving up his old moniker. Both the name change and barbeque had to be put on hold.

Which means the world will be without Metta World Peace for at least a few more weeks. And that’s a shame.

Even the North Koreans would agree there’s no excuse for that.

Hurricane wreaks havoc on sports schedule The Philadelphia Phillies and Florida Marlins were unable to sneak a game in Saturday as Hurricane Irene plowed its way up the East Coast.

Top-ranked women’s tennis player Caroline Wozniacki, though, made quick work of Czech qualifier Petra Cetkovska at the New Haven Open, where officials moved up the start time of the final and worked overnight to remove the two-ton scoreboards from the top of the tennis stadium with hopes of getting in the final on an outdoor court.

A bevy of sporting events were either postponed, had their start times moved up or had their format altered in the days leading up to a storm that was predicted to cut a destructive path up the eastern seaboard, with its effects reaching all the way to Canada.

As Irene’s first showers arrived in New York, the site of the U.S. Open was quiet and nearly empty, a stark contrast to the customary hustle and bustle two days before the Grand Slam tennis tournament’s start.

Normally, thousands of fans attend the celebrity-and-music-filled Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day, but that event was canceled Friday. And while dozens of players usually would be scattered around the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, a light rain pushed them off the courts before noon.

In Philadelphia, the Phillies and Marlins hoped to outplay the weather. Their game scheduled for today was switched to Saturday afternoon but the game was postponed before the first pitch because of rain. The regularly scheduled night game Saturday was already called off the night before. Both games will be made up in a split-doubleheader on Sept. 15.

What it all means for Philadelphia: a grueling stretch of 33 games in 31 days.

KC leads early but loses 3-2 KANSAS CITY, KAN. — Bobby Warshaw’s first career coal, in the second minute of stoppage time, gave FC Dallas a 3-2 comeback victory over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday night.

Warshaw’s header, off an assist from Brek Shea, broke a three-match winless streak for Dallas (13-7-7).

Sporting (9-8-9) led 2-0 after Omar Bravo’s goal in the 68th minute, but Daniel Hernandez scored on a free kick in the 70th and Maicon Santos headed in an equalizer in the 88th minute.

Kei Kamara put Kansas City up, 1-0, with a goal in the 22nd minute, and Bravo doubled that lead off an assist from Teal Bunbury before Dallas rallied.

Bunbury was sent off in the 76th minute, after drawing his second yellow card for a foul on Jair Benitez.

Keselowski wins at Bristol BRISTOL, TENN. — Brad Keselowski moved a step closer to making the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship by winning Saturday night’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

It was Keselowski’s third victory of the season, and his second since breaking his ankle in a crash while testing earlier this month.

Keselowski has been on a tear since the injury. He won at Pocono, finished second at Watkins Glen, third at Michigan and has now won Bristol. His three wins should be enough to at least earn him one of the two wild cards into the 12-driver Chase.

Martin Truex Jr. finished second and Jeff Gordon was third despite dominating most of the race.

Woodland ties 13th at Barclays EDISON, N.J. — Dustin Johnson beat the rain and everyone else Saturday at The Barclays to win the opening FedEx Cup playoff event.

Matt Kuchar had a one-shot lead going into the round. Johnson closed with a 6-under 65 for a two-shot win.

The Barclays was reduced to 54 holes because of Hurricane Irene. If the third round could not be finished Saturday, then it would have reverted to a 36-hole event and Kuchar would have been declared the winner.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland tied for 13th place after finishing the day with a 6-under 65. Woodland will advance to next weekend’s Deutsche Bank Championship, a continuation of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

It was unclear if Texas A&M would be able to move to the SEC as early as the 2012-13 school year.

The Aggies will certainly play their Big 12 schedules in football and other sports for the upcoming season, as Colorado (Pac-12) and Nebraska (Big Ten) did a year ago before their departures from the league in July.

The person who spoke on condition of anonymity said the other nine Big 12 members again reaffirmed the desire to keep the conference intact.

Ex-player wanted for murder ATLANTA — Javaris Crittenton was wanted on a murder charge as police searched on Saturday for the former NBA player in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Crittenton has been charged in the fatal shooting of 22-year Jullian Jones, a mother of four who was gunned down Aug. 19 on an Atlanta street.

A spokesman with the Atlanta police said Crittenton was not in custody.

Crittenton, who averaged 5.3 points and 1.8 assists in his career, last played in the NBA during 2008-09. He was sidelined by an ankle injury the following season, during which he and teammate Gilbert Arenas were suspended for a gun-related incident in the Wizards’ locker room.

that gets cut off and reached all day,” Shealy said, “so now if he can’t maintain his gap integrity, then the puzzle starts to break.”

Earlier this month, Shealy said some familiar names — Williams and Richard Johnson (6-3, 283) — had stood out as the front-runners at nose tackle.

At the two defensive end spots, the Jayhawks will

be looking more to their youth.

Sophomore Keba Agostinho (6-3, 253) returns after playing all 12 games a year ago, while fellow sophomore Kevin Young (6-4, 285) should contribute at both tackle and defensive end.

Red-shirt freshman Pat Lewandowski (6-6, 265) — who was expected to miss two to three weeks after suffering a leg injury on Aug. 8 — also impressed at the beginning of practices.

“He’s grown as a player, and he’s really taken what coach (Buddy) Wyatt has

taught him and applied it on the field,” Opurum said. “A lot of guys, it’s kind of hard to take from practice to scrimmages or from practices to games, but he uses the techniques as much as he can, and it’s really helped him.”

In addition, true freshman Ben Goodman (6-3, 245) has been a pleasant surprise for Shealy at D-end.

“We’re a little bit thin if you want to look at injury exposures that exist,” Shealy said. “But we’re hopeful we stay healthy, and if we do that, I think we’ll be competitive.”

and completing his associate’s degree at San Bernardino Valley College, while also working as a volunteer assistant coach at Barstow CC — is part of a large incoming class that includes Braeden Anderson, Ben McLemore, Merv Lindsay, Naadir Tharpe and Jamari Traylor.

“I guess more knowledge to the game, seeing it the way a lot of others haven’t seen it,” Young said, asked what he brings to the table. “Running up and down the court even in open gym, hustling for every play, diving for loose balls, all the little things.

“I can shoot a little bit,” noted Young, who hit 45.4 percent of his shots in two seasons (242-533) at LMU, including 27.3 percent of his threes (38-139).

“I love to go get the ball because it’s the one aspect of the game you can be selfish in. When it comes to rebounding you can go get every rebound. I like to look at every missed shot as a pass to me pretty much. As long as I think of it that way I am going to go get every rebound or at least try to get every rebound.”

His teammates have noticed a focused player.

“He’s real active. He works hard with and without the ball,” KU junior forward Travis Releford said of Young, who has gained 10 pounds

His jumper is good. He’s a good kid on and off the court.”

KU coach Self noted that Young, who averaged 10.7 points and 7.2 rebounds a game his soph season at LMU, “is a guy who gives us a perimeter athlete who is long. Travis is the only one we have like that. Kevin gives us a second one. He can play the 3, 4, wherever. He can play the 2. He’s so mature.”

The maturity was helped

by Young spending a lot of time around coaches last season. He worked for Barstow coach Reggie Howard the first semester and practiced with the women’s team at San Bernardino Valley the second semester.

“I helped out, gave coaching drills,” Young said of his work at Barstow. “Seeing the way players view coaches from the other side ... just the body language and the little comments or small remarks, sometimes they are unacceptable. To see that from the other side made me grow as a person and player both.”

With the women’s program at Valley ... “I ran through drills with them,” he said. “The coach (Susan Crebbin) helped me with my jumper. It wasn’t about working on what I was good at. It was about working on my ballhandling, my passing, my setting screens, all the little things to make my game better.”

Young is highly-regarded enough to have landed an invitation to this summer’s Puerto Rico Olympic training camp where he likely

The Jayhawks will look to get more pressure on the quarterback this season, as their returning defensive linemen (not including Opurum) combined for just 2 1/2 sacks a year ago.

This offseason, Johnson said the D-linemen had watched film, gone over different techniques and worked to improve their athleticism in hopes of increasing their sack numbers.

“Defensive line always has something to prove,” Johnson said. “We’ve just got to come out and make plays and prove people wrong.”

would have earned a spot on Puerto Rico’s 2012 Olympic team. Young declined in order to spend some time with his family in California and also not miss any class time at KU. If all goes well, he’ll play in the Olympics in 2016.

“My grandparents grew up there. They’ve passed a rule that third generations can play on national teams,” Young explained. “I took advantage of that and played for the 19 and under team (last summer when he averaged 7.7 points off 55.2 percent shooting in winning five of nine games at U19 championships). It was a great experience. It showed me what I had to do to help the team win was more important than being the best player on the team, than becoming the star of the team.”

He said he’s ready to take on whatever role is asked of him at KU. “I’m approaching it like I’m a new guy to the team and I’ve got to earn my spot. I’m staying in the gym as much as I can,” Young said. “There’s been so much hard work to get here. I will keep working hard every day.

“I want to help bring another title here. Walking through the hallways, seeing all the pictures up there (of 2008 title team) and seeing all the history ... I think we can be part of that as well here, not just being another player that goes through Kansas or just being another team. I feel like we can actually win it all.”

KU volleyball wins tourney J-W Staff Reports

ATHENS, GA. —Kansas University’s volleyball team, led by tournament MVP Allison Mayfield, claimed the Georgia Bulldog Invitational title on Saturday night with a 2516, 25-19, 25-14 victory over Georgia.

It was the second straight year the Jayhawks took home a tournament title to start the season. Last year, KU won the Bluejay Invitational.

Kansas, which earlier rolled past Liberty by scores of 25-21, 25-13, 25-9 on Saturday, improved to 3-0.

“I’m really proud of the growth we showed this weekend,” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “We were pretty disappointed with how we started, but today was a good day. I was happy to see how we were able to pressure teams today with our blocking and serves.”

Mayfield set the tone for the Kansas offense, knocking 10 kills to lead an effort that

included eight kills apiece from middle blockers Tayler Tolefree and Caroline Jarmoc.

Jarmoc, who averaged more than two blocks a game over the weekend, was named to the All-Tournament team with Mayfield and KU libero Brianne Riley.

Riley took home Libero of the Tournament, a recognition for her effort behind a front line that racked up 12 total blocks.

“We feel like we can create some opportunities on that front defensive line,” Bechard said.

This weekend marked the eighth time in Bechard’s 14 years at Kansas that the Jayhawks swept their opening weekend tournament. Dating back to last season’s sweep at Oklahoma, Kansas has won 12 straight sets.

Kansas will welcome Appalachian State, Belmont and South Dakota State on Sept.

2-3 in the Jayhawk Invitational at Horejsi Center.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Verlander becomes first pitcher to 20 wins STANDINGS

The Associated Press

American League East Division

American League Tigers 6, Twins 4 MINNEAPOLIS — Justin Verlander became the majors’ first 20-game winner, grinding through six innings in Detroit’s victory over Minnesota on Saturday.

Verlander (20-5) gave up four runs and eight hits with six strikeouts and three walks to become the first pitcher to win 20 games before the end of August since Arizona’s Curt Schilling in 2002.

The six innings tied a season low for Verlander, a 20game winner for the first time — and the first time by a Tiger since Bill Gullickson in 1991.

National League Dodgers 7, Rockies 6, 11 innings LOS ANGELES — Matt Kemp hit a game-ending homer in the 11th inning for his 100th RBI of the season, giving Los Angeles a victory over Colorado on Saturday.

The Dodgers overcame two two-run homers by Troy Tulowitzki to win their fifth straight.

Kemp drove an 0-2 pitch from Jason Hammel (7-13) into the right-field pavilion for his 31st homer of the season, ending a game that lasted 4 hours, 39 minutes.

CLEVELAND’S JIM THOME, RIGHT, CONGRATULATES Asdrubal Cabrera after Cabrera hit a home run in the eighth inning.

The Indians defeated the Royals, 8-7, on Saturday in Cleveland.

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

— who came to bat 3-for3 with 4 RBIs this season against Cleveland’s closer.

“I knew the history there,” Perez said of Melky Cabrera.

“I got him on a slider, the pitch he hit to beat me earlier this year.

“We needed this win and we got it. What a fun game!”

Thome said Cleveland’s Comeback Kids make him feel rejuvenated. His solo homer in the sixth in his second game back with the Indians tied it at 4.

“I’m old enough to be some of these guys’ dad,” Thome said. “They make me feel young again.”

Gordon, who had three hits, belted a three-run homer in the seventh off reliever Tony Sipp to put the Royals ahead 7-4. Sipp replaced Fausto Carmona with runners on first and third in a lefty-against-lefty matchup, but yielded Gordon’s 18th homer.

Asdrubal Cabrera’s RBI single pulled Cleveland to 7-5 in the seventh.

In the eighth, pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall singled with two outs and Kosuke Fukudome walked. Cabrera followed with his 21st homer into the right-field seats.

Thome got a rousing standing ovation as he slowly rounded the bases with his 335th homer in a Cleveland uniform, a line shot to left-center that extended his club record. The crowd kept cheering until Thome came out for a curtain call in a scene reminiscent of the slugger’s glory days in Cleveland from 1991 until leaving as a free agent following the 2002 season.

“That’s why we got him,” Acta said. “He’s always one swing away from something special.”

It was Thome’s first homer for Cleveland since Sept. 28, 2002, off the Royals’ Jeremy Affeldt. That was his 52nd homer that year, still the Indians’ single-season record.

Thome needs seven homers to tie Sammy Sosa for seventh on the all-time list.

Kansas City used three pitchers to get one out apiece in the seventh and strand two Indians on base.

“It felt like we were trying to stick our fingers in the dike all day long before it caved in on us,” Royals manager Ned Yost said of the back-andforth game. “We couldn’t get anybody to have a clean inning.”

K.C. scored three runs with two outs in the third off Carmona to go ahead 3-1.

Mike Moustakas had a tworun double after Eric Hosmer singled home the tying run.

So would the rest of the Chiefs.

Matt Cassel has been abysmal in three preseason games, hardly throwing a pass in a 25-0 loss to Tampa Bay, struggling in a 31-13 defeat to Baltimore, and going 6-of-13 for 59 yards while taking an 11-yard sack in the loss to the Rams.

The league’s top-ranked rushing attack last year, when Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones combined for 2,363 yards on the ground, was supposed to get better with the addition of former All-Pro fullback Le’Ron McClain. Instead, the first-team managed 14 yards on six firsthalf carries against the Rams’ No. 1 defense. Charles and Jones each carried twice for eight total yards.

“I think this is all just part of the process, and Coach Haley has decided this is the best for our team,” said Cassel, repeating Haley’s refrain about sticking to The Plan.

“As a player you conform to whatever he’s got set up for you.”

ST. LOUIS CORNERBACK JEREMY MCGEE (35) BREAKS up a pass intended for Kansas City wide receiver Verran Tucker (15) in the second half of a preseason game on Friday in Kansas City, Mo. The Chiefs lost, 14-10. Even though Kansas City has looked poor in the preseason, coach Todd Haley remains confident in his squad.

When asked whether Cassel thinks the first-team offense will be ready for the season opener Sept. 3 against Buffalo, given so little work in the preseason, he offered up a candid answer.

“I don’t think we have a choice,” Cassel said. “So we’ll be ready to go come Buffalo.

I guarantee these guys will be ready to go. We’re ready for the season.”

Just not the preseason it seems.

The final box score from Friday night’s game against St. Louis showed little difference between the teams, but that was due largely to the success of the Chiefs’ second team. The halftime numbers from when both teams put their starters on the field told another story.

The Rams piled up 123 yards rushing, including 72 yards from Steven Jackson, while the Chiefs managed only 14 yards on six attempts.

Sam Bradford started 8-of-8 through the air and finished with 95 yards and two TDs, while Cassel struggled under duress most of the night.

St. Louis was 7-of-10 on third down, while the Chiefs were 2-of-7.

Things got so bad at Arrowhead Stadium that the home fans booed repeatedly.

“When we look at the tape, there’ll be some things we see and we’ll think, ‘We could have avoided some of those things,’” linebacker Andy Studebaker said. “We’ll look at it and say we made some mistakes that were avoidable early on. ... That’s what preseason is all about.”

That may be true, but it’s also about building for the regular season.

In that respect, the Chiefs are still under construction.

“We’ve got limited time left,” Haley said. “It’s going to be a short week and then we’ll get on a plane and go to Green Bay. I believe in our guys. I believe in this group we have. But some things are going to have to improve here pretty quickly in some of those areas I talked about.

I believe if we do that then we’ll have a chance to be a competitive team that has a chance to win games.”

JACOB BANHOLZER is a BFA artist at Kansas University. His work will be featured by the Charlotte Street Foundation in “The Fascinators,” the inaugural biennial of local BA, BFA, MA and MFA candidates. Banholzer is one of six artists chosen for the exhibition.

Work that fascinates ————

KU student’s art to be featured in Charlotte Street exhibit

By Michael C. Auchard Special to the Journal-World

Getting a job right out of college isn’t always easy. It can be even more difficult for an artist, someone who works outside of the traditional daily grind and spends his life critiquing culture.

Kansas University art student Jacob Banholzer, however, has recently taken a major first step to attaining his goal of becoming a full-time artist.

His sculptures will soon be displayed in “The Fascinators: The Inaugural Charlotte Street Biennial of Regional BA/BFA/MA/MFA Candidates,” an art exhibit focusing on soon-to-graduate college art students within a 200-mile radius of Kansas City. Banholzer is one of six artists being displayed at this exhibition.

“It’s kind of my first major showing,” he says. “You have shows around, like a Final Fridays thing in Lawrence, and some stuff on campus, but this is a pretty big small group show. I’m excited to be involved with Charlotte Street. It’s a major institution in Kansas City for the arts.”

Calling Banholzer’s work activist art may be a bit of a stretch, though there are definite political, societal and environmental themes present in his works. Banholzer mixes stark backgrounds with a mix of esoteric materials and sometimes strikingly life-

like iconography. His works for the upcoming Charlotte Street show cover, in part, ecological disasters, the responsibilities of corporations to society and the overuse and commoditization of animals and natural resources.

“Sculpture is the big word that encompasses what I do,” Banholzer says. “I make objects. That’s what I’m focusing on for this show. A lot of the work is based on my experiences and memories – just things like that – and maybe social issues going on right now. One piece, called ‘Got Dominion’ is mainly about people using animals as commodities and resources for comfort. I was interested in just how people don’t even really think about the

Banholzer says he enjoys adding layers of nuance to his art and adding a semblance of a story, levels of significance, to his sculptures. He likes communicating what the works mean to him to viewers at his exhibits.

“I appreciate all kinds of art. There are people who make abstract art that may not have that kind of meaning behind it, the social or the political meaning, but I enjoy it because I think it’s dif-

ed hound who probably wouldn’t have lasted more than another week or two had she not stepped in to help. She named him “Tad” (The Abandoned Dog).

One of the problems this woman has been facing with Tad has been a stubborn case of mange, two kinds of it in the beginning. Even though the worst of it is gone now, a spot still remains, and

she’s doing her best to keep it under control.

Mange is nothing to fool with for several reasons. First of all, it is torturous for the infected animal. The red bumps itch mercilessly and can form a crust or scale; it causes hair loss and the constant scratching can lead to open lesions and secondary infections that then need treatment. But in addition, one of the types

of mange is also contagious, and it could end up infecting a good many others who come in contact with the infected dog.

Anyone familiar with human scabies will immediately understand the nature of mange. It is caused by microscopic mites that burrow into the skin or hair follicles and set up home there. This can hapPlease see CRITTER, page 7B

“I think any chance for recently graduated artists to showcase their work is important,” she says. “I think it’s nice that it’s happening here in Kansas City where it’s a great chance to showcase what’s going on across the Midwest. These are emerging artists who we really believe in.”

Kate Hackman, associate director of the Charlotte Street Foundation, says this show is one of many efforts by the group to focus on the next generation of Kansas City-area artists. She says building a community among up-and-coming artists is important to the organization.

“We’re almost 15 years old, and what we’ve been doing is supporting artists in Kansas City in a lot of ways over the years,” she says. “We’ve been dedicated to trying to show younger artists to established artists.

This biennial, in what we

hope is an ongoing effort, is really reflective of wanting to expand our relationship with more schools in the region. We’re really trying to build and strengthen these sets of relationships. Rather than doing a big survey of 50 or 100 artists, we wanted to make a substantial show.”

Hackman says the reception for the exhibit is open to anyone who wishes to attend. She hopes the entire exhibit has a warm feeling to it.

“It will be a very inclusive and well-attended reception. We’ve invited all of the artists who applied for the show as well as faculty members from all of the schools.

We want our immediate community and a broader pool of people to come. This is really just an opportunity for the artists to meet people and talk about their work and to get a lot of people together.”

Critter

Sarcoptic mange, also known as dog scabies, is the more serious of the two, and it is indeed infectious to both other dogs and humans, although the site canismajor. com says that these mites cannot complete their life cycle on human skin, so any animal showing this type of mange should be handled carefully and kept from other animals during treatment.

This type of parasite burrows under the dog’s skin to lay eggs, and the newly hatched can begin laying their own eggs within three weeks, so careful attention to treatment is critical. Usually a few doses of Ivermectin given several weeks apart can take care of the mites, although the secondary skin problems may take longer to heal.

Steroids will help with the itching, but it could take up to several months to heal the lesions. Dogs, of course, have a fascination with these spots, and we all know what it’s like to keep a dog from constantly licking or biting.

Identifying problems like

mange can be particularly difficult in places like animal shelters, where large numbers of dogs regularly move in and out, and strays come in with unknown problems that may not show up immediately. Responsible shelters like the Lawrence Humane Society keep an eye out for problems, and they do their best to keep the animals separated until their health status can be determined.

Nevertheless, as with any health problem, treatments are most effective if we start them immediately, and that requires us to be attentive to changes in our animals’ health. Please be a good health advocate for your dog, and keep an eye out for problems. You’ll be rewarded with a much happier, healthier pet.

pen anywhere on the animal, and it will spread quickly.

According to petmed.com, symptoms will occur any time from two to six weeks after exposure.

Veterinarians recognize two primary types of mange.

The first, dermodetic, is caused by a common parasite that many puppies are born with, having acquired them from the mother. Normal, functioning immune systems in healthy dogs can usually keep these mites under control with few or no symptoms, so most severe cases are seen in young animals and older or sick animals with weakened immune systems. Dermodetic mange is not contagious.

Vets can usually determine this type of mange by taking a skin scraping of an affected area and examining it under the microscope for the tiny

cigar-shape parasites. However, this is not always an effective means of diagnosis, because often the dog’s scratching and chewing removes the mites but leaves the itchy toxins that they produce.

Treatment for dermodetic mange varies with the animal. For less invasive cases in younger animals, often the immune system will take care of the problem on its own. Dog-health-guide.org suggests giving it six to eight weeks or even longer.

More severe cases, or those in older or ill animals, however, can be tricky. Several types of shampoos or dips are available, but they may require a few treatments and can take up to six weeks for complete healing. Because these dips are insecticides, you’ll need to take precautions when you’re applying them. Make sure you’re in a place with good ventilation, and protect your own skin by wearing gloves as you’re applying it. Depending on the medication, you may need to reapply it every two weeks.

Prestigious Chinese writers calling for more translations

By Chi-Chi Zhang Associated Press

BEIJING — More Chinese books need to be translated and more thought-provoking ideas need to be used in novels to elevate China’s literary standing in the world, some of the country’s top writers said Friday.

Speaking to promote China’s top literary award — the Mao Dun Literature Prize — the authors said modern Chinese literature still does not attract many Western readers despite the country’s global economic presence.

“Chinese people’s knowledge of Western authors still far outweighs Westerners’ knowledge of Chinese authors,” said Liu Xinglong, author of the winning book, “Heavenly Mission,” about the perseverance of teachers in poverty-stricken rural areas of China.

“Any Chinese home with a bookshelf is likely to have translations of English books, whereas, this would not be the case of Chinese books in homes in the West,” Liu said.

Although China is one of the largest publishers of books, magazines and newspapers in the world, Chinese authors still receive little recognition in literary circles outside of China, which some attribute to a lack of translations.

“Getting the opportunity to win a Nobel Prize now would require one change and that is for their literature committee to consider incorporating Chinese,” said Mao Dun award-winner Liu Zhenyun, author of “A Sentence is Worth Thousands,” about a man’s search for someone to talk to in a society without religion.

“It’s not the quality of work. ... The lack of Chinese works translated into Chinese is one of the reasons our presence is not as strong,” he said.

China disavowed its only

literature Nobel Prize winner, Gao Xingjian, who left China for France in the 1980s to escape censorship. He won the prize in 2000.

Some authors said the lack of inspiration or thoughtprovoking ideas that affect change is one of China’s biggest hurdles to international literary recognition.

“For a story to translate and be able to touch people, we need grand and high-level ideas that provoke thought,” said Mo Yan, another Mao Dun winner and author of “Frog,” the tale of a rural midwife who struggles with

an emotional breakdown after a 30-year career of performing forced abortions and sterilizations.

Mo is one China’s most well-known authors, and is one of the rare ones whose work is known in the West.

His novel “Red Sorghum,” the story of a young woman working at a distillery for sorghum liquor, was adapted into a film directed by Zhang Yimou.

The Mao Dun award is named after one of the country’s top writers in the last century and was first awarded in 1982.

THE WOW FACTOR Now is a great time to take care of the exterior details that will make your home stand out when buyers first lay eyes on it. Starting at the top, make sure your roofing materials are functional and looking good. Gutters should be cleaned out and repaired, and any signs of water damage eliminated.

Little details have a huge impact.

Paint is cheap, but pays off handsomely when you apply it to any trim, railings, shutters, and especially the front door.

A new knob and knocker wouldn’t hurt, and a new mailbox and street numbers make a good impression, too. Once you’ve improved those details, light it all up with attractive outdoor lighting.

Finally, there’s the front yard and driveway. Your walkways and driveway set the tone for the rest of the scene, so make sure they are meticulously swept, edged and maintained. Of course, mow the lawn regularly, keep it fertilized for a lush look, and keep pulling those weeds.

It’s easy to save money while still giving your yard an expensive landscaped look by simply buying lots of beautiful flowering plants. Plant them in groups and place mulch around them, or use large pretty pots on your porch and strategic areas around your driveway and walkways.

You know how important first impressions are, so don’t waste any opportunity to maximize your home’s appeal.

Early life on Coney Island Joseph Heller was born in Brooklyn to Russian Jewish immigrant parents in 1923 and brought up in the crowded ghetto of Coney Island with his older half-brother and -sister. When he was 4, Heller was lavished with attention and gifts and enjoyed a rare party — unfortunately, the occasion was his father’s funeral. If this early encounter with inverted logic (treats are for funerals!) helped form the dark-yet-giddy current of Heller’s writing, Daugherty doesn’t make such an explanatory leap. He’s assembled an appropriate amount of evidence for a biography, but he seems unsure what to do with it.

Heller’s own memoir “Now and Then” (1998) provides much of the material Daugherty includes about Heller’s early life. He was a socially adept young man, bored by

“CATCH-22” AUTHOR JOSEPH HELLER, pictured at Miami Book Fair International in 1986, is the subject of two new books. school, raised by his old-world, somber mother with the help of his half-siblings. He delivered telegraphs as a teenager, was sociable and handsome and mostly broke, and enlisted to fight in World War II.

Combat and marriage Like his famous character Yossarian, Heller was a bombardier, flying in the glass nose of a B-25, and like Yossarian, the number of missions he had to fly kept creeping up. He was stationed in Corsica from 1944 to 1945 and, after 60 missions, finally shipped home.

Upon his return, Heller’s half-brother coaxed him to take a short winter visit in the Catskills, where he met Shirley, his future wife, after being lassoed by her strong-willed mother. “I can only marvel at the pair of them now,” Erica Heller writes, “my grandmother and my father, both so cagey and indomitable. They had a great deal in common, although neither would have agreed on that.”

It’s these intimacies that make Heller’s book a vital read. She didn’t idolize her father, but she portrays his complexities with sympathy.

Of her father’s friendship, she writes, “the currency was frequently sarcasm — snarling, brutish yet often, impossibly, improbably, delightfully, and deliriously funny.” This pithy description of her father’s character is fuller than anything Daugherty gets to: He’s found the bones of the story but lacks its connective tissue and the man at its heart.

Erica’s memoir starts with the end of her mother’s life and then jumps around chronologically. She centers her narrative on the Apthorp, the Manhattan apartment building her parents moved into in 1952, shortly before she was born. At the time, her father was working as an ad man, and the building was a Gilded-Age island surrounded by unpleasant urban jetsam. While writing “Catch-22,” Heller worked as a copywriter for Time, Look and McCall’s magazines and for Remington Rand Corp.

For years, he wrote in the odd Dr. Bugs standing at her fahours at the family’s dining ther’s bedside; she suddenly table. realized that her mother was right, and her father had lied Writing and cheating to her over and over again.

Alice Hoffman recalls the dandelion wine of Ray Bradbury

By Alice Hoffman Los Angeles Times

When my father took his leave of the family, he left behind a box of his books, and in doing so he gave me the gift of Ray Bradbury.

The summer that I began reading Bradbury, even the ordinary world became magical. I inhaled the books: “Something Wicked this Way Comes,” ‘‘Dandelion Wine,” ‘‘The Illustrated Man,” ‘‘The Martian Chronicles” and, of course, his master work, “Fahrenheit 451.”

His stories embraced a different reality, and they insulated me from the despair of a family that was breaking apart. It was the realization that stories could save readers that made me begin thinking about being a writer myself. I was able to see through my own heartbreak into the future, and I decided to write myself there.

My first story was about a lone survivor in a world that had been devastated. It was only later I realized I was writing about myself, about a girl who felt alone, who clung to fiction and to Bradbury’s books as if they were a Bradbury life raft.

Bradbury tells the story of how, as a boy in 1932, he went to a country fair where a carnival entertainer named Mr. Electrico touched him on the nose with an electrified sword, made his hair stand on end and shouted “Live forever!”

He has certainly achieved eternal life through his books, which are destined to live on. But it’s beginning to seem as if he took the “live forever” command literally as well. On Monday Ray Bradbury turned 91, and his birthday is the

perfect day to reflect on all he has given us.

The writer who says he was “raised in libraries” wrote a work of genius warning of a future in which books are so dangerous that they are burned. Where did he write it? In a library, of course, at UCLA, working on a rented typewriter.

His ambition was to be both a magician and a writer, and he managed to become both. He was the creative consultant on the United States Pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair, which I remember visiting in Queens, N.Y., as a 12-year-old so ready for the future that I could barely stand still in the present. He worked on the Spaceship Earth display at Epcot Center, Disney World and contributed to the conception of the Orbitron space ride at Euro-Disney France. His script “I Sing the Body Electric” was the 100th episode of the greatest television series in history, “The Twi-

light Zone.” He wrote the screenplay for Melville’s “Moby Dick,” directed

by John Huston, and his own books were turned into brilliant movies, including “Fahrenheit 451,” directed by Francois Truffaut and starring Julie Christie and Oskar Werner, and “The Illustrated Man” starring Oscar winners Claire Bloom and Rod Steiger.

Bradbury was brave enough to create his own genre. He understood that love was just as strong as any supernatural power, and that the timeless themes of good and evil resonate across generations.

The perfect summers and mystery-soaked autumns he has created are more memorable than the ones we experience in “real life,” and his gypsy witches and 12-year-old boys, tattooed men and fierce believers in truth will always be a part of American literature.

To you, Ray Bradbury, happy birthday, and many more.

MEMBERS OF THE MIDNIGHT RAMBLERS of Lawrence, from left, Kory Willis, Paul Schmidt, Leo Posh and Mike Horan, perform for a crowd on the north stage during the 2010 Kansas Picking and Fiddling Championships in South Park. This year’s event starts today at noon.

Fiddling and Picking Championships return to South Park

By Michael C. Auchard Special to the Journal-World

Combine a loose, freeform jam session with a strict instrumental competition, and you’d get the 31st annual Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships.

This event, which starts at noon today at South Park, is designed for musicians of all ages and skill groups to compete in. Also, of course, fans of acoustic roots music are more than welcome to attend. According to event coordinator Gayle Sigurdson, the Championships merge the rigors of a music contest with the down-home feel of a barn dance.

“It’s a full day of traditional acoustic music,” Sigurdson says. “It includes eight competitions and four concerts from local bands. We wanted the kind of thing — a real community event — that not only recognizes the accomplished musicians but helps new musicians as well.

We’ve had 5-year-olds com-

peting. Frequently we have had youth competitors win the whole thing and beat out the adults.”

Sigurdson says one of the main draws is the festive attitude of the Championships.

She says there’s a feeling of interconnectedness that occurs when a collection of very different groups of people come together to share their love of Americana.

“I think the main attraction to the traditional acoustic music is that it’s a participation sport. It’s not people sitting and listening, it’s people getting up and playing themselves. This is the music you hear in living rooms and back yards. There are a lot of American stories tied up in this music. You might hear someone play a whole set of railroad songs, or you can have union songs that celebrate workers. Someone else could do all Gospel or fiddle tunes. There are stories behind all of that.”

Local musicians and residents have been particularly

important to this event, Sigurdson says. She cites local businesses in particular as a strong factor in this event’s 31-year success story.

“It started here, and the Lawrence community has always been really supportive of it. There’s a lot of talent in the area, and our area businesses have let us keep going. Anyone should be able to have a good time here. If you like the music, if you just want to have a nice summer day in the park or if you enjoy good food and beer — it’s a great way to enjoy music in the park and each other.”

Diane Gillenwater, executive director of the Americana Music Academy, 1419 Mass., says her organization’s members donated their time to the event and coordinated a kick-off potluck and jam session, which was Saturday at the Academy.

Gillenwater, a former state fiddle champion, said this kind of roots music is important because it provides an artistic outlet for musicians.

A classically trained violinist, Gillenwater found her musical niche in bluegrass.

“There was nobody I knew of that could teach me it.

What I had to do was continue down the violin performance path. I finally found some people that wanted to play bluegrass. I knew immediately when I heard that kind of music that that’s what was calling my heart.”

Gillenwater says winning the fiddling championship in 2002 was “a real thrill.” She stresses that it’s not all fun and games at this competition.

“It’s bragging rights, it’s an honor. There’s a lot of good players here,” she says.

“Competition isn’t for everybody, but it’s bragging rights.

You win a little money, but the other thing that’s good about a competition is that it gives you something to focus on. Now you’ve got something new you can do.

I think you’re going to stick with your music longer if you have something to work on.”

In case of rain, event will be moved to the Lawrence Community Building, 115 W. 11th St. For more information: www. americanamusicacademy.org/

2005 Finger Pick Guitar Champion Dan Bliss agrees with Gillenwater about the rigors and rewards of musical competition. Bliss, who will perform on the south stage of the Championships this year, says this is a can’tmiss event for many of its yearly attendees.

“The contests are fun to watch and take part in,” he says. “It can be great practice motivation for a player who makes a commitment to the contest. The Kansas State Fiddle and Picking Championships really is a treasure that we’re very lucky to have in Lawrence every year. I first attended over 20 years ago and just loved it.”

Bliss says it’s the memo-

ries and camaraderie that keep bringing him back to this event and what makes it special.

“It’s such a comfortable gathering of laid-back, genuine folks sharing great acoustic roots music. There’s a very strong community and family atmosphere and a lot of respect for tradition, passing the music on to the next generation. A favorite memory is seeing a woman competing in the fiddling contest accompanied by her husband on guitar. Their performance was great. I was some distance from the stage, so it was awhile before I noticed her sleeping baby in a papoose on her back as she played.”

“Yes, this is about government and policies, but these policies affect the daily lives of millions of people in our nation, including far more than most of us realize in our own community,” he says.

“The personal is political — immigration isn’t an issue than can be easily divided into a political side and a social side.

A KITCHEN GARDEN is similar to a regular vegetable garden, except kitchen gardens typically include herbs, flows, fruits and vegetables, making a beautiful, vibrant garden that is both food-bearing and a focal point to model the rest of your garden around.

Celebrate International Kitchen Garden Day ————

Outdoor centerpiece provides good food, beautiful focal point for garden I

love celebrations, especially ones that involve gardening and food, so today is a special day in my book.

The fourth Sunday in August is International Kitchen Garden Day, a celebration of home-grown, hand-made food.

A kitchen garden is similar to a vegetable garden but typically includes herbs, fruits and flowers interspersed with the veggies.

Kitchen gardens are meant to be pretty and are usually a focal point in the yard instead of being tucked away in the back of a yard.

The real highlight of a kitchen garden is growing things you like to eat close to where you will eat them. I love picking basil and tomatoes and bringing them right

inside to cook, or stepping outside for mint leaves to add to fresh made iced tea.

A kitchen garden is also a great place for edible flowers. One of my favorite flowery dishes is lavender shortbread. Marigold flowers add spice and color to salads. Dainty violet flowers

are a nice addition to many desserts.

To keep a neat appearance, try grouping plants and using repetition. For example, you might plant a tomato plant in each corner of the garden to provide a backdrop and vertical accent. Flank the tomato cages with pepper plants and tall herbs like basil.

Low-growing oregano and thyme can be interspersed with strawberry plants to fill the spaces between larger plants.

A fence, even a small one, adds another manicured touch to the garden.

Raised beds are the best bet for keeping the garden neat and also create a better growing environment than in-ground beds. Large con-

WAYS TO CELEBRATE You can celebrate Internation- agriculture potluck al Kitchen Garden Day in a variety • A kitchen garden taste-test of ways. Kitchen Gardeners • A harvest or planting party International, a global nonprofit • A benefit for a local food/ organization, offers the following gardening charity ideas: • A kitchen garden “teach in” • A walking tour of gardens in • A single food theme party your area • An activity at a local farm • A kitchen garden or local tainers also work.

To build raised beds, 2-inch by 6-inch cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated lumber works best. These are easily used to create four-foot by eight-foot rectangles. You could also use recycled plastic timbers, bricks, or blocks. Avoid old railroad ties that could leach

plant-damaging creosote.

Fill beds with a mixture of soil and compost. Avoid using compost by itself as it will drain too quickly and you could end up with standing water where the compost meets the soil surface.

While I always recommend planting things you like to eat, a kitchen garden

also offers the opportunity to try something new. Since most veggies and herbs are annuals, the garden can change each year. You might try an Italian theme with Romano and fava beans, paste tomatoes, and Italian herbs. Another idea is a salad garden with mixed greens and good salad-topping flowers like nasturtiums, pansies, and chives.

Kitchen gardens are an old concept that is regaining popularity. In medieval Europe, most residences had kitchen gardens to produce fresh food to eat.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Ornamental beer steins sprang from health concerns

By Terry Kovel

Beer steins have long been popular. Today’s stein is a beer container with a hinged lid and a handle. The lid was the result of health regulations. The bubonic plague of the 1300s, which killed more than 25 million Europeans, and an influx of flies in Europe in the 1400s led to laws that required food to be kept in covered containers.

A hinged lid was added to a mug to make a stein. Most beer steins collected today date from after 1800 and are made of pottery. One famous German company that used the mark “Gerz” opened in

1857 and remained in business until the 1990s. Its regimental and figural 3-D character steins that look like animal or human heads, usually comic, are especially popular. An amusing Smiling Face pottery stein marked “Gerz” sold for $529 at the Stein Auction Co.’s June auction in Schaumburg, Ill.

Q:

I have a Hoosier-style Sellers one-piece cabinet that my mother purchased secondhand in the 1950s. I’ve been unable to figure out how old the cabinet is. There seems to be a lot of information out there about two-piece cabinets, but not about this

one-piece unit. The cabinet was a mint-green color originally, and still has the original flour sifter. Can you help?

A:

Hoosier cabinets were first made by Hoosier Manufacturing Co. of New Castle, Ind., about 1900. The freestanding kitchen cabinets had a work surface and shelves and drawers fitted with a flour sifter, coffee and tea canisters, cracker jars and other kitchen items.

Soon all similar cabinets by other makers were called “Hoosiers.” The G.I. Sellers Co. was the second-largest manufacturer of Hoosier-

style cabinets. The company was founded by George Sellers in Kokomo, Ind., in 1888 and moved to Elwood, Ind., in 1905. It closed in 1950.

Hoosier-style cabinets were made until the 1930s, when built-in kitchen cabinets became popular.

Q: I have a set of dishes that are green and white and have a scene of the interior of what looks like a log cabin. The dishes are marked “Colonial Homestead by Royal.” Different scenes are pictured on different pieces. The scene on the plates includes a table, chairs, grandfather clock, large fireplace with

hanging cookpots and an old-fashioned gun over the fireplace. I’d like to know how old these are and what they might be worth.

A: The Royal China Co. was in business in Sebring, Ohio, from 1934 to 1986. The company made dinnerware, cookware and advertising premiums. The Colonial Homestead pattern, which includes scenes from a colonial home, was designed

by Gordon Parker. It was introduced about 1951 and was sold by Sears, Roebuck & Co. through the 1960s.

The dishes sell for very low prices today.

Troubled marriage might be worth saving Dear Annie: I recently discovered that my husband has a secret email address and has been meeting women while on business trips. In the past year, he has emailed seven different women. When I vaguely questioned him, he changed his upcoming dates of travel and his hotel.

I finally confronted him, and he told me he was bored on those trips and admitted to having sex with one of the women. I was so angry that I filed for divorce. I emailed all seven women, and apparently it is true that he only had sex with one of them. Now he is extremely remorseful.

He cried for the first time in 14 years and said he would quit his job so he’s not traveling. He even offered me a post-nuptial agreement, giving me the house, the car and absolutely anything I want if I stay married.

We have two young sons who are quite attached to Daddy. When my husband travels, I call daily so the kids can talk to him. I thought we had the perfect marriage and a great sex life. I am heartbroken beyond belief.

My attorney is encouraging me to do everything possible to save the marriage.

He said to give it six months before signing papers and emphasized that I shouldn’t listen to friends who press

now, she has been ignoring me and doing everything possible to avoid me. Every time I call to ask if Jeri wants to get together, she always says no and she’s mean about it.

When she does speak to me, she acts as though she is so much older. She doesn’t care what I think or say. She isn’t the friend I used to know.

I’ve scraped my mind, but can’t think of a thing I’ve done to make her angry. I anniesmailbox@comcast.net still want to be her friend, but I don’t think she wants to be me to leave him. I don’t want mine. I am confused and hurt. to break up our family. Do I What should I do? — Needgive him another try? I am so ing Advice in Missouri afraid he will revert to his old ways. — Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: Your attorney sounds like a man of integrity. Some people who rush into divorce regret it later. Before finalizing anything, please try counseling.

We can’t promise your husband will remain faithful, but it will help to take him up on his offer to stop traveling. Although quitting his job might not be a practical option, he may be able to change his work responsibilities in order to remain in town. Counseling will help both of you decide how best to handle this.

George Bush discusses 9/11 events “Where were you on 9/11?” It’s a common conversation. “George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview” (10 p.m., National Geographic) offers reflections, explanations and revelations from the leader who saw his job transform into a wartime presidency while he was sitting in a grammar school classroom nearly a thousand miles from the Oval Office.

As millions witnessed the destruction in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, many described it as “like a movie.” Yet for President Bush, the events could not be further from cinematic portrayals of a president in charge. As he describes it, communications were sketchy, and incoming information was incomplete, incorrect, rumor-laden and contradictory.

With the images of al-Qaida’s destruction dominating the news, the president was shuffled from one military base to another, unable to communicate effectively to the American people, to do the job of projecting a sense of calm, determined power.

The first prolonged discussion with Bush on the subject, “Interview” has a somber and subdued tone. During the interview the former president is always seen alone, against a black background, not unlike the narrative scenes in Warren Beatty’s “Reds.” ‘‘Interview” also includes archival photos and footage, some never before broadcast.

Experts and historians may pore over the president’s reflections. He says here that folks began to make a connection between 9/11 and Iraq as early as Sept. 15, 2001. In his book, security adviser Richard Clarke described being shocked as Iraq dominated the conversation, beginning on Sept. 12, 2001. All the same, the president remembers deciding to “deal with Iraq later.”

Bush’s recollections continue from the fateful Tuesday morning to the following Friday, when he visited Ground Zero to join New York firemen, who were scouring for survivors in a smoky ruin. And it is there, standing on a pile formed by a wrecked fire engine, that he picked up a megaphone and seemed to find the voice, the message and the platform that had eluded him.

Tonight’s other highlights

Four hours of coverage of the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial (9 a.m., TV One).

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (7 p.m., CBS): the author of “Three Cups of Tea” faces scrutiny; gospel music for teens.

The Oakland Raiders host the New Orleans Saints in NFL preseason action (8 p.m., NBC).

Rico Rodriguez (“Modern Family”) guest-stars on “Good Luck Charlie” (8 p.m., Disney).

Sookie does her utmost to save Bill on “True Blood” (9 p.m., HBO).

Death by hot tub on “CSI: Miami” (10 p.m., CBS).

Walt’s new plan is not without risk on “Breaking Bad” (10 p.m., AMC).

A dead ringer for a dead author dies on “The Glades” (10 p.m., A&E).

An investment opportunity presents itself on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (10 p.m., HBO).

Ari confronts the reality of his divorce on “Entourage” (10:30 p.m., HBO).

Dear Missouri: Jeri is displaying a classic sign of becoming a teenager. She is eager to “put away childish things” and be more adult.

You represent her childhood.

We think you need to give Jeri lots of space. In time, she may once again value her friendship with you, but for the moment, please look elsewhere for the loyal, true-blue friends you deserve.

For Sunday, Aug. 28: This year, open up and see life from a more dynamic point of view. Your birthday occurs on a New Moon, giving you additional charisma and creativity.

If you are single, try to see your potential sweetie more clearly. When this person falls off a pedestal, remember that you put him or her there. If you are attached, the two of you could have a very special year. Curb a newfound egotism. Virgo connects with you.
