In bad economy, Westar rates rise

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Westar Energy ratepayers have been hit with $265 million in rate increases during the worst economy in decades. Westar now wants more.

The largest electric company in Kansas has filed a request with the Kansas Corporation Commission for a $91 million rate increase, which if approved would increase the average residential customer’s bill by approximately $6.50 per month, or 5.8 percent.

“It’s causing quite a hardship on consumers,” said David Springe, consumer counsel for the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board, which represents consumers in rate cases.

Springe said the three members of the KCC will have to determine “what are those things that are necessary to providing necessary and adequate services and where does the commission have discretion to trim Westar back because the consumers need a break.”

Westar officials have said the increase is needed to maintain a reliable system, comply with environmental regulations and keep its commitments to employees.

About $20 million of the proposed increase is to expand a tree-trimming program to reduce the number of power failures caused by tree limbs falling

RATE INCREASES Since 2009, Westar customers have seen a $265 million increase in rates.

The company is now seeking another $91 million increase. Here is a breakdown of rate increases. Note: The 2008 rate increase took effect in 2009.

2008: general rate increase, $130 million or 11 percent.

2009: transmission delivery rate increase, $31.8 million or 2.4 percent.

2009: environmental cost recovery rate increase, $32.4 million or 2.5 percent.

2010: abbreviated rate increase, $17.1 million or 1.2 percent.

2010: transmission delivery rate increase, $6 million or .4 percent.

2010: environmental cost recovery rate increase, $13.5 million or .9 percent.

2010: energy efficiency rate increase, $5.8 million or .4 percent.

2011: transmission delivery rate increase, $17.4 million or 1.1 percent.

2011: environmental cost recovery rate increase, $11.2 million or .7 percent.

2012: rate increase request of $90.8 million or 5.85 percent.

Another $37 million is needed to help Westar employees’ pension fund, which was hurt by stock market losses.

ANTHONY — The sun will rise in New York City on Sept. 11.

Lt. Joe Huber of the New York City Fire Department will be at Ground Zero when it does. He’ll be part of a ceremonial detail reading the names of those people who paid the ultimate price 10 years ago.

“I never look forward to going there,” Huber said of the site of the terrorist attacks that toppled New York’s Twin Towers, put America on the path of dual wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and created a date that never will be forgotten but often isn’t uttered by those who are closest to it.

“New York City firemen around where I work don’t talk about it. We don’t discuss it. It never comes up.

But every so often you have to revisit it.”

For about 90 days following the attacks, Huber stood at Ground

nearly in the shadow of the twin grain towers that give this community elevated standing in Kansas’ Wheat Country.

Board member interested in International Baccalaureate for schools

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

A potential magnet-school concept is up for discussion in the Lawrence school district.

The program, International Baccalaureate, is organized through a nonprofit educational foundation with the stated goal of helping develop in students “the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world.”

So far the concept has caught on in six schools in Kansas, and Rick Ingram, a member of the Lawrence school board, says it could be a good fit for the Lawrence district.

“It does focus on kids and their place in the world in a broader, more global sense,” said Ingram, a professor of psychology at Kansas University. “But it’s also a Ingram rigorous course of study that really helps kids distinguish themselves.

In places like college applications, coming from an IB program is really good.”

At this point, the concept simply has been floated as an idea by Ingram during the board’s goals-setting process. Other board members

on the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group, studying ways to shrink the district’s roster of 14 elementary schools to either 11 or 12 within two to three years.

Why not explore implementing the International Baccalaureate program at a relatively small elementary school, he asked, in an area with relatively low enrollment? Students districtwide could choose to attend the “magnet” school to get the challenge they want.

The program would introduce a stronger version of school choice into the district, Ingram said, and potentially make more efficient use of all the district’s schools.

have asked questions about how much the program would cost, both to enter the program and to train educators to implement the curriculum.

“It’s just an idea,” said Rick Doll, district superintendent, who is working to compile board members’ goals into a single document.

“It’s a topic for discussion. … We’d have to learn a lot more about it.

The first step on any kind of goal in this area would be just to investigate it.”

Ingram figures it would be worth a look, especially as the district aims to make the most of its resources.

The district already has volunteers, facilitators and staffers working

“It would create some additional opportunities for academic achievement, and draw some students into a particular place,” Ingram said. “I would like to think about starting it in one, maybe two schools. And if it’s two schools, maybe one elementary and one middle school.”

CEREMONIES IN ANTHONY The city of Anthony will host a weekend-long Sept. 11 ceremony next weekend, on both Saturday and Sunday.

At 4:30 p.m. Saturday, first responders from across the state and country will march down Main Street. Following the parade, free hamburgers and hot dogs will be served in the park. Following the meal, a Sept. 11 memorial service will take place at the site of the community’s Sept. 11 Memorial.

At 7:45 a.m. Sunday, the community will host a nondenominational church service coinciding with the time that American Airlines Flight 11 flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

The road between Anthony and New York runs both ways. Many residents of Anthony have made the trip to New York City, including Myron Wiechman, a hardware store clerk who hooked the group up with hunting licenses for the first trip.

Wiechman said there is no better way to see New York than with a group of the city’s firefighters. They took him on an evening river cruise, let him use a cabin in the Catskills and took him to the Ground Zero site.

“We told them that we didn’t need to see it,” Wiechman said. “But they said, ‘We want you to.’”

The Kansas crew has shown the New Yorkers some things too. Wiechman said he and his wife fix the crew supper during their hunting trips. One evening they didn’t come back so he went to find them. When he did, the New Yorkers were flat on their backs on the hoods of the pickups, staring into the sky.

“They said, ‘We don’t get to see the moon like this in New York,’” Wiechman recalls. “There is so much we take for granted, but when you start looking at it through someone else’s eyes, you realize we’re pretty fortunate.” !"!"!

It was a rough introduction.

John Schott, the mayor of Anthony, called the number for the firehouse of Engine 88, Ladder 38 of the New York City Fire Department, the house right next to the Bronx Zoo. He’d gotten the number by calling a telethon for a firefighter relief fund in the days following 9/11. He told the telethon worker he didn’t want to donate to the telethon. He wanted to find the name of a firefighter who had lost his life in the attacks.

His little tiny Kansas community wanted to donate money directly to a family.

Schott The telethon worker, a firefighter, finally gave him a number and a name. Schott called the firehouse number and asked for Joe Spor, and Schott will never forget what came next.

“What? Are you (expletive) kidding me?”

As soon as Schott heard that New York “what,” he knew what he had done. The telethon worker didn’t tell him to ask for Joe Spor. Joe Spor was the firefighter who lost his life.

Schott called back and explained his mistake. He ended up on the phone with Huber, who told him about his friend and co-worker Joe Spor Jr. He was 35 years old and left behind a wife, four kids and a house that was exposed to the elements because he had been remodeling it.

Huber was happy enough to talk about his fallen friend, but there wasn’t a chance he was going to give this Kansas guy the family’s address.

Instead, he told Schott that if his town wanted to send

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD some money, to send it to the firehouse and he would make sure the family got it.

“Frankly, I thought it was a scam,” Huber says now. “I was sure that was the end of it.”

But a few days later, a check for about $2,500 arrived in the mail. It was enough for the firefighters to buy supplies to get the house buttoned up for the winter.

Huber then thought that was the end of it. But the folks of Anthony now had the firehouse’s address. An elementary school class decided it wanted to “adopt” the firefighters. They made cookies and sent them off. They would write letters and send them off. They would make pictures and send them off.

And somewhere, in one of those packages, Huber got the message. It wasn’t going to end.

“They just never stopped coming,” Huber said. “They never gave up. We didn’t understand it, but it helped tremendously.”

So much so that Huber decided to go to Anthony in 2002. The Kansas City St. Patrick’s Day Parade wanted a New York City firefighter.

Huber said he would attend if they could get him to Anthony.

When he arrived in this community about 60 miles southwest of Wichita, he went to the school and saw the classroom full of children.

“That’s when I saw that every word I had written to them was posted on their classroom wall,” Huber said.

“They were keeping tabs on us night and day.” !"!"!

‘It’s heartbreaking’

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Feds warn of terror threats The FBI and Homeland Security have issued a nationwide warning about al-Qaida threats to small airplanes, just days before the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Authorities say there is no specific or credible terrorist threat for the 10-year anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. But they have stepped up security nationwide as a precaution.

According to a five-page law enforcement bulletin issued Friday, as recently as early this year, al-Qaida was considering ways to attack airplanes.

The alert, issued ahead of the summer’s last busy travel weekend, said terrorists have considered renting private planes and loading them with explosives.

NATO kills ex-Gitmo detainee NATO and Afghan forces have killed a former Guantanamo detainee who returned to Afghanistan to become a key al-Qaida ally, international officials said Saturday.

The militant’s death was a reminder of the risks of trying to end a controversial detention system without letting loose people who will launch attacks on Americans.

Sabar Lal Melma, who was released from Guantanamo in 2007, had been organizing attacks in eastern Kunar province and funding insurgent operations, NATO spokesman Capt. Justin Brockhoff said.

A NATO statement described Melma as a “key affiliate of the al-Qaida network” who was in contact with senior al-Qaida members in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Man gets life in prison for slayings Robert Stewart showed the same lack of emotion when a jury found him guilty of murder Saturday as witnesses say he displayed when he gunned down eight people at a North Carolina nursing home during one of the worst massacres in state history.

Stewart, 47, will not face the death penalty because jurors found him guilty of second-degree murder, meaning they believe he lacked the premeditation and deliberation necessary for a first-degree conviction. Instead, Moore County Superior Court Judge James Webb sentenced the disabled painter and National Guard veteran to between roughly 141 and 177 years in prison.

Evacuations lifted in California fire Officials lifted evacuation orders for 1,500 homes Saturday as firefighters gained the upper hand on a fastmoving wildfire that erupted in dry grass along the main interstate between Southern California and Las Vegas.

All remaining evacuation orders were lifted Saturday afternoon, according to U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller. Some 1,500 homes were evacuated after the blaze broke out Friday on the center divider of Interstate 15 in the Cajon Pass.

The fire quickly grew to over 1,100 acres, or nearly 2 square miles, jumping the freeway and burning chaparral in rolling hills that form the nearby San Bernardino National Forest and rural areas of San Bernardino County.

Nearly 750 firefighters surrounded 60 percent of the blaze, Miller said. There were no open flames and very little smoke. Full containment was expected this evening, and crews were expected to remain for several days to clean up and keep watch for flare-ups.

Ex-IMF chief likely Paris-bound Former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn was believed to be heading to his native France on Saturday, leaving the United States behind after the collapse of a sensational sexual assault case that cost him his job and possibly his French presidential ambitions.

Strauss-Kahn and his wife were believed to be on a flight from New York to Paris after being spotted arriving at the Air France terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Saturday, dogged by a crowd of cameras. They did not say where they were going as they headed for security, but French media have reported Strauss-Kahn was expected to board a plane to Paris on Saturday.

The Air France flight Strauss-Kahn was believed to be on a plane departed for Paris at 7:29 p.m. EDT, according to the airline’s computerized flight status system.

“It’s heartbreaking,” she said.

A $13 plastic storage bin is a hot commodity at the Lawrence Community Shelter, 214 W. 10th St. The 12 families currently housed at the shelter are guaranteed one bin to house all their possessions. What they can’t fit in the bins gets scrunched up in bundles on a makeshift shelf that runs throughout the basement where most of the families stay.

On a recent weekday, Kate Nichols, 33, is emptying out the extra bin she had for her husband, Joe Moon, and their 6-year-old daughter, Johanna.

Jennifer Davis, family case manager, tells Nichols they’re low on bins, and another family needs one. The shortage of storage bins is one of many examples of how stressed the shelter has become with a recent influx

Ask Nichols what else the shelter could use, and other families start chiming in: formula, cleaning supplies, sheets, pillows, kids shoes ...

But many of the families here are lucky to have a place to stay.

Davis said she gets about three calls a day from families in Topeka or Kansas City look-

Getting ready for school Shelter staff from across the state say the same thing: They’re seeing many more families than they did last year. At the Lawrence shelter, more than half — 42 of 75 shelter residents — are members of families. Last year, the shelter was able to allocate the basement, a space about 40 feet long and 15 feet wide, for the two families housed there.

Now, 25 people are cramped in the same space, and the other families creep into other areas of the shelter, separated from the single adults.

It all makes for an interesting

For some, riding on a vintage train car was a fun Saturday activity. For two men, it was coming home.

“This was my life,” said Eldon Denney, 81.

He looked around the 60-year-old train car he spent years riding in, sorting mail on the go as a mail clerk for the Railway Mail Service.

His old mail car, and other classic train cars, are back on the rails this weekend, thanks to volunteers at the Midland Railway Historical Association of Baldwin City.

“We were the Marines of the mail service,” said Herb Crawford, a clerk on a different route.

The Railway Mail Service was established in 1864 to make mail faster and more efficient, allowing large amounts of mail to be sorted on the road rather than waiting to be sorted in the bigger cities.

The job was mentally demanding and physically taxing. The men had to know sections of the country intimately and were responsible for the towns in the states their trains covered. Hawthorn, who rode the line from Kansas City to Colorado, said he knew many of the towns in the 11 states.

“I didn’t know them all, but a lot of them,” Crawford, 88, said. “You learn tricks. Anything that has cow to it, you gave it to the Pan Handle.

Like Bovine, Hereford — that goes to the Pan Handle.”

The men worked roughly 12-hour shifts, and new workers soon developed leg muscles from balancing on the wobbling train.

Student faces ‘long road’ to overcoming mental illness

Caitie Hilton’s academic transcript at Kansas University, at first glance, doesn’t look very impressive.

Multiple withdrawals from classes, entire semesters missed and only two year’s worth of credits despite being at KU for five years since graduating from Lawrence High School.

Dr. Huerter and Dr. Bennett are married and have an 18-month-old son, William. They are looking forward to being back in Lawrence where they have family ties. Dr. Bennett is a Lawrence native and a graduate of Lawrence High School. Dr. Huerter’s brother and sister-in-law, Drs. Eric and Pam Huerter, also practice in Lawrence.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENT Caitie Hilton, Lawrence, began showing signs of depression in her early teens. Now, after years of treatment and in pursuit of a degree in social welfare, Hilton says she feels more on track.

But looked at from another perspective, Hilton’s academic progress is an inspirational story of a local woman who refuses let her mental illness keep her from success.

Beginning after the death of a close friend when Hilton was 15, she’s battled severe depression, facing multiple in-patient hospitalizations and periods when she couldn’t do much.

“It’s been a long road,” said Hilton, outside of Twente Hall on campus recently. Now 23, Hilton has been accepted into the KU Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

Homeless CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

and hectic beginning of the school day.

Theresa Reeder, mother of six, says she’s become an expert in ushering her kids in and out of the three showers and two bathrooms they share with the other families.

She and her family, including her husband, Kerry, have been at the shelter for about a month. Their home in Lenexa was foreclosed on about the same time their youngest child, now 6 months old, contracted meningitis.

The Reeder family’s story of how they became homeless echoes what the other families say: a job loss or an illness, or both, sent them into a downward spiral. Once they’d exhausted family resources and drained bank accounts, they sought refuge here at the shelter.

Reeder explains the process while she serves as coordinator of the morning rush.

Five of the Reeder children, ages 9 to 12, are in schoolpreparation mode. It’s noisy, but the kids joke and play while grumpy parents try and get them dressed and ready to go. Reeder will shuttle the family to school in two shifts in her two-door car, while many of the families walk their kids to Cordley School, 19th and Vermont streets.

Meanwhile, the parents prepare for the second part of the morning: cleaning up

their limited space at the shelter. Thin blue mats serve as beds, and when all spread out in the basement, there is only a narrow walkway — maybe 2 feet wide. Come daytime, the families pile the mats up against the wall to serve as makeshift seating areas.

Homeless student increase Most area public schools reported at least some increase in homeless students during the 2010-2011 school year. Under federal education law, schools are required to ask students about their housing situation, and if a student identifies as homeless, the school can offer extra services.

What’s considered homeless is less strict than other homeless counting methods, said Baldwin City Schools nurse Carrie Enick, who acts as the school district’s appointed homeless liaison.

In Baldwin City, which doesn’t have a homeless shelter, their 23 homeless students in 2010-2011 were made up mostly of families “doubled up” and living with relatives, which counts as homeless under federal guidelines.

Enick said the increase in homeless students from the 2009-10 year, when Baldwin City had 11 homeless students, is probably due to an improvement in how the district identifies them.

On the state level, it’s also equally complicated, said Tate Toedman, state coordinator for the education

HOMELESSNESS BY THE NUMBERS

Homeless students in local schools (2009-10, 2010-11): ! Lawrence: 164, 178 ! Eudora: 13, 18 ! Baldwin City: 11, 23 ! Perry-Lecompton: Under 10, 0 Kansas overall: 9,010 in 2010-11, up from 3,064 in 2005-06 — As reported by each school district. Numbers include families “doubled up,” or living with relatives.

What the Lawrence Community Shelter needs: ! Storage bins, large and small ! Cleaning supplies ! Toiletries ! Gift cards to Target or Walmart that staff can use to purchase supplies ! Groups to make dinner for residents ! A barber to give residents haircuts — Donations can also be made online at lawrenceshelter.org. For more information, call 832-8864. of children and youth with the Kansas Department of Education. Since the 200506 school year, Kansas has seen the number of homeless students triple, from 3,000 to 9,000.

But is there actual increase in homeless students, or is there better work being done by schools to identify them?

“It’s probably a little of both,” he said.

In Lawrence, which saw its number of homeless students increase from 164 in 2009-10 to 178 in 2010-11, the anecdotal evidence at the shelter shows a spike this summer.

Davis, the case worker, said the increase at the shelter resulted from job losses in December, which eventually caught up with families who expended all their resources

before ending up at the shelter’s front door this summer.

And there’s one other big difference this summer, she said: It’s becoming much more difficult to push homeless families through the system and into permanent housing than in the past. Basically, the whole system is overloaded and clogged.

“There is no shortage of demand,” said Shannon Oury, executive director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority.

Oury’s agency receives federal stimulus funding from the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program.

In July and August, 44 people — including 35 in families — inquired about the program, which seeks to quickly rehouse the homeless. The pro-

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD gram isn’t able to help everyone, but Oury said the good news is the agency expects to receive additional funding through the program.

Seeing how slowly federal and state housing assistance works, many at the shelter talk about securing jobs, saving up money and finding a landlord willing to rent to families with black marks — and sometimes evictions — in their credit history.

Nichols, for instance, wants to find a full-time waitressing job. She estimates that if she can work 40 hours a week at about $8 per hour for a month or so, they’d have enough saved for a small apartment. Her husband, Moon, has been dealing with a serious blood clot in his left leg that makes one calf look like that of a bulkedup weight lifter.

An Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran, Moon is not eligible for veterans benefits because he was dishonorably discharged in 2004. With the health issue, full-time work now would be risky.

Moon spends his days selling the shelter publication “Change of Heart” downtown for $1 a copy, and he uses the money to fill in some of the gaps in what the family needs and what the shelter is able to provide.

The family became homeless earlier this year when Moon lost his job as a roofer in Blue Springs, Mo. A lack of help elsewhere led them to Lawrence.

The family has been at the

shelter for about two months, and they say the cramped living conditions are difficult, but also breed a tight-knit camaraderie.

“I consider them friends,” said Moon, talking about how the families help each other watch the gaggle of kids that call the shelter home. “It’s like one big family.”

Nichols puts on a cheery face and says they hope to be out of the shelter by September. Despite her optimistic comments, her last request when asked what donations the shelter needs hints at the reality that the family will probably be at the shelter a while longer.

“Halloween costumes for the kids,” she said.

Community shelter faces overflow every day

office at the shelter on recent weekday looking at a list, tallying up the total number of people signed up for a spot at the shelter overnight.

Then she deducts families, who get first priority, followed by single adults with jobs and those who volunteer at the shelter, most of whom are guaranteed a spot. Those who are left may or may not have an indoor place to sleep.

On this night, it looks like the numbers of those needing a bed are creeping up toward 100 people. After the shelter fills up at 75 spots, “overflow” space is used at The Salvation Army and other area churches. That’ll house another 20. Do the math and it looks like there’ll be a handful of people without a spot.

Stevens said those left out will probably try to stay with friends or camp somewhere in town, which is illegal.

School of Social Welfare. She said there have been times when “it took all my effort to get out of bed and go to school.”

Hilton is just one example of the many Lawrence residents who battle mental illness every day. And for each person struggling with a mental illness, measures of success vary. For Hilton, getting that KU degree and becoming a social worker would mean success.

For others, such as LaTonya Johnson, 55, it’s simply staying out of homeless shelters and remaining in a stable living situation. Three years ago, Johnson hit rock bottom after depression led her to homelessness.

“I didn’t want to do anything or be around people,” said Johnson, who describes her depression as a strong “heavy” feeling. “I was closed off for a long time.”

After being laid off from her job as a data entry operator, the Kansas City, Mo., native became homeless for the first time, bouncing around shelters in Kansas City before ending up in Lawrence.

She spent eight months at the Lawrence Community Shelter, where social workers helped her access disability services and find local subsidized housing.

While Hilton has been receiving help for her illness for years, it took Johnson decades before she accept-

— Elizabeth Stevens, Lawrence Community Shelter staff member Stevens said. “It’s stressful.

At one point in time it gets to everyone.”

As the shelter has filled up with an increasing number of families, overall numbers have risen as well, said Loring Henderson, shelter director.

“It’s crowded everywhere,” said Henderson, adding that overall numbers at the shelter are as high as they’ve ever been — anywhere from 90 to 120 people look to the shelter for a place to stay every night.

The Annual Point-in-Time Homeless Count, which counts the total number of homeless people identified nationally on one particular day, shows Kansas homeless numbers have actu-

ed help. Even then, it was a struggle.

“They had to pull it out of me,” said Johnson of her Bert Nash caseworkers when they asked about her psychological troubles.

Johnson is a member at the Recovery and Hope Network in Lawrence, where she participates in social activities with others who have a mental illness. In addition to medication and therapists, Johnson said that staying social is one of the tools she uses to stay stable.

“I’ve just found a better way to handle it,” said Johnson, who encourages others to seek help. “There is help available and it really does work.”

ally dropped 4 percent since 2007, to an estimated 2,024 homeless people in the state in 2010. But the local shelter, and shelters across the state, are saying they’re seeing more people at their doors.

Barry Feaker, director of the Topeka Rescue Mission, said his shelter is housing 100 more people per night this year as compared with 2010.

Whereas the shelter used to house 35 or so children regularly, they’re routinely seeing 75 to 90, he said, which has accounted for much of the increase.

At the Salina Rescue Mission, which houses only men, numbers have more than doubled this year, said Steve Kmetz, executive director.

The shelter housed about 20 men a night in 2010, and sometimes they now see 65 men a night.

Kmetz, along with his shelter director colleagues, is not optimistic that the numbers will go down anytime soon.

“They’re not going away,” he said.

The Lawrence Community Shelter is looking at plans

She’s received positive assistance from the KU community, she said. Despite her spotty academic record, Hilton said, “all of my professors or GTAs have been more than willing to work with me.”

Hilton receives services from KU’s Supportive Education Services, available to students from certain backgrounds, or those with a qualifying disability, including mental illness.

“KU has been awesome,” she said.

But before she got to KU, Hilton said, she faced low expectations and negative opinions from people who doubted whether someone with a severe mental illness could make it through college life. “‘You shouldn’t be trying to go to college because you won’t make it through because of your mental illness,’” said Hilton, characterizing some of the comments she’d hear.

She has had to adjust her own expectations, but said she’s determined to graduate.

“I’ve come to accept that maybe I’m not going to graduate in four years,” she said.

“The road that I take to graduate isn’t what most people do.”

to move to a larger location at 3701 Franklin Park Circle, just east of Douglas County Jail, Henderson said. The new location will house up to 125 people, but it’s not clear yet when such a move would be made.

Meanwhile, Henderson said he’s trying to secure more overflow space in preparation for the winter, when numbers typically rise even more.

Schools adding iPads, trimming textbooks

Train CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The work could be dangerous, too. Crawford was involved in two fatal train crashes, and all of the clerks were issued guns, to stave off bandits. Robberies were rare, though.

“It was a little peashooter, a .38 special,” Crawford said.

“Still, I wouldn’t want someone to shoot me with it.”

The Railway Mail Service was an innovation when it was created, and it was eventually overtaken by another: the jet airplane. The service survived in areas of the Northeast until 1971, but Crawford and Denney had their last rides in the mid-1960s.

The two were placed in post offices in Topeka and Springfield, Mo., respectively. Working in the post office just wasn’t the same. The excitement and the sense of freedom were gone.

“It was the best thing for my career, but I missed it,” said Crawford, who would go on to become an engineering manager for the Kansas City division of the U.S. Postal Service.

It didn’t hit Crawford until a few weeks later what giving up the rails really meant.

“I got up one morning and was sitting on my bed. My wife came in, and I told her, ‘I won’t be able to ever go out there again,’” Crawford said.

“Then I cried like a baby.”

Denney also missed the rails. He said that on the rails, if you did a good job and got your work done quickly, you might just get a few moments to stretch out on the sorting

HARTFORD, CONN. — For incoming freshmen at western Connecticut’s suburban Brookfield High School, hefting a backpack weighed down with textbooks is about to give way to tapping out notes and flipping electronic pages on a glossy iPad tablet computer.

A few hours away, every student at Burlington High School near Boston will also start the year with new school-issued iPads, each loaded with electronic textbooks and other online resources in place of traditional bulky texts.

While iPads have rocketed to popularity on many college campuses since Apple Inc. introduced the device in spring 2010, many public secondary schools this fall will move away from textbooks in favor of the lightweight tablet computers.

Apple officials say they know of more than 600 dis-

tricts that have launched what are called “one-to-one” programs, in which at least one classroom of students is getting iPads for each student to use throughout the school day.

Nearly two-thirds of them have begun since July, according to Apple.

At Burlington High in suburban Boston, principal Patrick Larkin calls the $500 iPads a better long-term investment than textbooks, though he said the school will still use traditional texts in some courses if suitable electronic programs aren’t yet available.

“I don’t want to generalize because I don’t want to insult people who are working hard to make those resources,” Larkin said of textbooks, “but they’re pretty much outdated the minute they’re printed and certainly by the time they’re delivered. The bottom line is that the iPads will give our kids a chance to use much more relevant materials.”

Obama appeals for passage of bill to boost roads jobs

By Erica Werner Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is appealing to Congress to pass a transportation bill that would put money in the pipeline for roads and construction jobs, arguing that it’s an economic imperative.

Republicans say they support passing the bill, but Obama says time is running out and “political posturing” may stand in the way.

“There’s no reason to put more jobs at risk in an industry that has been one of the hardest-hit in this recession,” Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address. “There’s no reason to cut off funding for transportation projects at a time when so many of our roads are congested, so many of our bridges are in need of repair and so many businesses are feeling the cost of delays.”

Obama issued his call as he prepares to make a major jobs speech to a joint session of Congress on Thursday in which he’s expected to push for bipartisan action on tax credits and infrastructure spending to get the economy out of its doldrums. A new jobs report just found the economy stopped adding jobs in August and unemployment stood at 9.1 percent.

Federal highway programs, and the fuel taxes that pay for them, will expire Sept.

30 unless Congress acts, and money for construction projects across the country would be held up. That follows the partial shutdown this summer of the Federal Aviation Administration over a showdown between the House and Senate that led to thousands of layoffs of workers on airport construction and other projects.

Transportation experts say the impact of an expiration of highway programs would be even more devastating for the economy. Transportation programs tend to have wide bipartisan support, but given the focus of the House Republican majority on cutting the budget, the legislation could run into disputes over how much to spend on it.

Inscription will stay FDA cooking up new on MLK Memorial nutrition facts label WASHINGTON — The executive architect of the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington says an inscription on the monument won’t be changed, despite criticism from poet Maya Angelou that it makes King sound arrogant.

Ed Jackson Jr. tells The Washington Post he stands by the paraphrased line from King’s “drum major” sermon in 1968.

King said, “If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness.”

The shortened version reads: “I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness.”

Jackson says the line has historical perspective and allows King to define himself. He says there is no way it can be altered.

LOS ANGELES — Uncle Sam wants you to know more about what you’re eating.

The Food and Drug Administration wants to revise the nutrition facts label — that breakdown of fats, salts, sugars and nutrients on packaging — to give consumers more useful information and help fight the national obesity epidemic.

A proposal is in the works to change several parts of the label, including more accurate serving sizes, a greater emphasis on calories and a diminished role in the daily percent values for substances like fat, sodium and carbohydrates.

It’s the latest attempt to improve the way Americans view food and make choices about what they eat, and comes in the wake of major advances in nutrition regulations by the Obama administration.

City leaders to hear debate on traffic calming circle BOTTOM LINE City commissioners are set to settle a debate in the University Place Neighborhood about whether a temporary traffic calming circle should be removed.

BACKGROUND Several residents recently filed a request with the city’s Traffic Safety Commission to remove the temporary traffic calming circle at 17th and Illinois streets.

The Traffic Safety Commission recommended that the traffic calming circle remain in place. The temporary device has been in place since about 2004. The city approved an overall traffic

calming plan for the neighborhood but has not had funding to pay for most of the improvements. Instead, it has installed temporary devices at many of the intersections. At the August Traffic Safety Commission meeting, several neighbors asked for the device to be removed at 17th and Illinois.

One neighbor asked for it to remain.

9 video machines seized from Wichita gas stations WICHITA — Nine video machines have been seized from two Wichita gas stations after authorities said they might violate Kansas gambling laws.

Seven machines were seized at one Valero station, and two were taken from another.

Deputy Police Chief Tom Stolz told The Wichita Eagle on Friday that more than $5,000 cash also was confiscated during the seizures a day earlier.

Undercover officers played the machines a few times after

police received a complaint a few months ago, and the evidence was presented to the state Attorney General’s Office and Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office.

Stolz says if no charges are

brought in state, district or municipal court, the machines will be returned to Valero.

If charges are filed, other businesses with similar machines will get a chance to remove them.

SAVE MONEY NOW AND LATER Before you begin what should be the fun process of buying a home, consider a couple finer points to help save you money, both upfront and down the road.

One issue relates to your credit score and its impact on your financing, and the other relates to the condition of your home and the cost of repairs.

First, know your credit score in advance of house hunting, and take immediate steps to improve it if it’s less than good. During your loan application is not the time to find any surprises.

Correct any errors on your credit report, pay down some revolving debt, and don’t make any other major purchases (like a car) until your loan

paperwork is complete and you’ve closed on your home. This is important because borrowers with lower scores pay higher fees and interest rates, which can total tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.

Once you’re in the position of having made an offer to purchase, do not skimp on inspections. No matter how strapped for cash you think you are, the cost of the inspections is a drop in the bucket compared to what unexpected plumbing, electrical, and structural repairs will cost you in the future. Your agent will go over a list of available inspections and suggest the most appropriate ones for your property.

Tropical Storm Lee drifts off Louisiana Documents show ties between Libyan leader’s regime, CIA

By Mary Foster Associated Press

JEAN LAFITTE, LA. — Bands of heavy rain and strong wind gusts from Tropical Storm Lee knocked out power to thousands in Louisiana and Mississippi on Saturday and prompted evacuations in bayou towns like Jean Lafitte, where water was lapping at the front doors of some homes.

The sluggish storm stalled just offshore for several hours before meandering to the north and west in the evening. Its center was expected to move onshore overnight The storm threatened to dump more than a foot of rain across the Gulf Coast and into the Southeast in coming days. No injuries were reported, but there were scattered instances of water entering low-lying homes and businesses in Louisiana.

To the east, coffers were suffering at many coastal businesses that depend on a strong Labor Day weekend.

Alabama beaches that would normally be packed were largely empty, and rough seas closed the Port of Mobile. Mississippi’s coastal casinos, however, were open and reporting brisk business.

In Jean Lafitte, water was a foot deep under Eva Alexie’s house, which is raised about eight feet off the flat ground.

“I should be used to this,” said Alexie, a 76-year-old storm veteran who lost a home to Hurricane Ike in 2008.

She clutched an umbrella and a pair of blue rubber gloves as she walked down Louisiana Highway 45, on her way to her husband’s shrimp boat to clean a recent catch.

BEACHGOERS RUN FOR SHELTER as the rain starts pouring down Saturday in Dauphin Island, Ala. As Tropical Storm Lee continues advancing toward the Louisiana coast, the storm dumps sporadic heavy rain along the coasts.

The center of the slowmoving storm was about 65 miles south-southwest of Lafayette, La., Saturday evening, spinning intermittent bands of stormy weather, alternating with light rain and occasional sunshine. It was moving north-northwest at about 2 mph in the late afternoon.

Its maximum sustained winds dropped in the late afternoon then stayed at 50 mph for several hours in the evening, and their intensity was expected to decrease further by today. Tropical storm warnings stretched from the Louisiana-Texas state line to Destin, Fla. The National Weather Service in Slidell said that parts of New Orleans received between 6 and 9 inches of rain between Thursday morning and Saturday afternoon and that some coastal Mississippi areas reported more than 6 inches. Nearly 10 inches had fallen in Pascagoula, Miss.

The Entergy utility company reported more than

37,000 customer outages at one point Saturday morning but that was down to below 18,000 by afternoon as the utility restored electricity.

Cleco Corp., another major utility, reported 3,500 outages.

In New Orleans, sporadic downpours caused some street flooding in low-lying areas early Saturday, but pumps were sucking up the water and sending it into Lake Pontchartrain. Lee’s surge so far had not penetrated levees along the coast, said National Weather Service forecaster Robert Ricks in Slidell, La. The storm was denting offshore energy production.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement said 237 oil and gas production platforms and 23 drilling rigs have been evacuated by Lee. The agency estimates that about 60 percent of the current oil production in the Gulf and almost 55 percent of the natural gas production has been shut in.

Vatican rejects criticism over sex abuse

By Nicole Winfield Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican on Saturday vigorously rejected accusations it had sabotaged efforts by Irish bishops to report priests who sexually abused children to police and charged that the Irish prime minister had made an “unfounded” attack against the Holy See. The Vatican issued a 24page response to the Irish government after Prime Minister Enda Kenny and the Irish parliament publicly denounced the Vatican following the publication in July of a government-mandated investigation into priestly sex abuse in the diocese of Cloyne in southern Ireland.

The report found that the Vatican had undermined attempts by Irish bishops to protect children by warning

Rebels poised to assault stronghold

Associated Press

that their policy requiring abuse to be reported to police might violate church law.

The Cloyne report, and Kenny’s unprecedented dressing down of the Holy See that followed, prompted cheers from Irish Catholics who have grown increasingly disgusted by the colossal scale of priestly sexual abuse and cover-up in Ireland and the Vatican’s consistent claim that it bore no blame.

The diplomatic standoff was particularly acute given that Ireland has long been staunchly Roman Catholic, Kenny himself is a practicing Catholic, and the church has long enjoyed a privileged place in society. The abuse scandal has taken its toll, however, and Kenny’s speech was a remarkable indication of just how deep the wounds are.

It also came as the Vatican is fighting on multiple legal

fronts in the U.S. to defend itself against lawsuits alleging it is liable for abusive priests.

Just last month, the Holy See was forced to turn over internal personnel files of an abusive priest to lawyers representing a victim in Oregon.

The Vatican was patently stunned by Kenny’s July 20 speech and recalled its ambassador. In the seven weeks since, it drafted a detailed response, hoping to set the record straight and assure Ireland’s abuse-weary faithful that it is serious about cracking down on predator priests.

Irish leaders, however, were not convinced. Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore said he remained certain that the Vatican had exacerbated the abuse crisis and criticized the Holy See for offering an overly “legalistic” justification of its actions in dealing with priests who rape and molest children.

TRIPOLI, LIBYA — The CIA and other Western intelligence agencies worked closely with the ousted regime of Moammar Gadhafi, sharing tips and cooperating in handing over terror suspects for interrogation to a regime known to use torture, according to a trove of security documents discovered after the fall of Tripoli.

The revelations provide new details on the West’s efforts to turn Libya’s mercurial leader from foe to ally and provide an embarrassing example of the U.S. administration’s collaboration with authoritarian regimes in the war on terror.

The documents, among tens of thousands found in an External Security building in Tripoli, show an increasingly warm relationship, with CIA agents proposing to set up a permanent Tripoli office, addressing their Libyan counterparts by their first names and giving them advice. In one memo, a British agent even sends Christmas greetings.

The agencies were known to cooperate as the longtime Libyan ruler worked to overcome his pariah status by stopping his quest for weap-

TARHOUNA, LIBYA — Rebel fighters were poised Saturday to assault one of the last strongholds of loyalist fighters in Libya, giving residents of Bani Walid one final night to choose between surrender and an all-out attack.

Thousands of fighters were moving toward the town from three sides, according to a senior rebel official from the area, Mahmoud ons of mass destruction and renouncing support for terrorism. But the new details show a more extensive relationship than was previously known, with Western agencies offering lists of questions for specific detainees and apparently the text for a Gadhafi speech.

They also offer a glimpse into the inner workings of the now-defunct CIA program of extraordinary rendition, through which terror suspects were secretly detained, sent to third countries and sometimes underwent the so-called enhanced interrogation tactics like waterboarding.

The documents mention a half dozen names of people targeted for rendition, including Tripoli’s new rebel

Abdel-Aziz, who is also involved in the surrender talks.

Some fighters had pushed to within six miles of the town, but stopped to avoid being accidentally targeted in NATO airstrikes.

“If they don’t raise the rebel flag tomorrow, we will enter with force,” said Abdel-Razak al-Nathori, a rebel who commands one of the brigades advancing on the town. military commander, AbdelHakim Belhaj.

Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch, which helped find the documents, called the ties between Washington and Gadhafi’s regime “A very dark chapter in American intelligence history.”

“It remains a stain on the record of the American intelligence services that they cooperated with these very abusive intelligence services,” he said Saturday.

The findings could cloud relations between the West and Libya’s new leaders, although Belhaj said he holds no grudge.

NATO airstrikes have helped the rebels advance throughout the six-month civil war and continue to target regime forces as rebels hunt for Gadhafi.

Congress returns this As race ramps up, GOP asks if Perry can stay atop week, unpopular as well as divided “

By Charles Babington

Associated Press

By David Espo

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Congress returns to work this coming week, divided over measures to create jobs and scorned by the nation it was elected to help lead.

After a five-week break, Republican and Democratic leaders alike promise action to try to ease the country’s 9.1 percent unemployment rate and boost an economy that is barely growing. President Barack Obama goes first on Thursday night with a speech to lawmakers and a primetime national television audience.

But there is little overlap so far in the measures that Republicans and Democrats are recommending, and the rest of the year-end congressional agenda is topheavy with items that relate to government spending and less directly to job creation.

A new committee, comprised of lawmakers in both parties from both houses and armed with extraordinary powers, is expected to hold its first meeting this week as it begins work on a plan to make long-term deficit cuts. The panel was created as part of last month’s agreement to reduce red ink and avert a government default.

It faces a Nov. 23 deadline for action.

More immediately, parts of the Federal Aviation Administration will shut down on Sept. 16 unless Congress approves a measure to keep operations running. Federal money for highway construction jobs runs out two weeks later without separate legislation.

The Obama administration is seeking more money for disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane Irene, and a partial government shutdown would occur on Oct. 1 unless

It has led to a scary erosion in confidence in both, at a time when this steep drop in confidence can be least afforded.”

— Republican pollster Bill McInturff, on how the negotiating surrounding last month’s agreement to avoid a default has led to unhappy public views of Congress

lawmakers enact an interim spending bill to cover most federal agencies.

With any or all of these measures, there is an opportunity for partisan gridlock or compromise, and it isn’t entirely clear which an unhappy public might prefer.

In a late-August Associated Press-GfK poll, only 12 percent of those surveyed said they approved of the job Congress is doing, and 87 percent disapproved. A separate Gallup survey, taken in midmonth, found 13 percent approved and 84 percent disapproved.

“Everybody is kind of in trouble with the electorate,” said Republican pollster Bill McInturff. He recently distributed an analysis that concluded the negotiating surrounding last month’s agreement to avoid a default is an extremely significant event that is profoundly and sharply reshaping views of the economy and the federal government.

“It has led to a scary erosion in confidence in both, at a time when this steep drop in confidence can be least afforded.”

But if the public was offended by the bickering before the deal, there isn’t there much evidence that the compromise on the nation’s borrowing limit did much, if anything, to restore confidence in Congress’ ability to address economic problems.

WASHINGTON — The Republican race for the White House is about to accelerate dramatically, with a series of debates and events testing if Rick Perry has staying power and Mitt Romney can keep focusing on the president instead of his GOP rivals.

September also may settle the field for good, with Sarah Palin perhaps deciding at last whether to run.

Perry, the Texas governor, jolted the party last month by leaping to the top of several national polls within days of joining the race. Now, three scheduled debates in 16 days, the first on Wednesday in California, will show how well he can stand alongside his competitors and field a range of questions.

That opening debate “will be most critical” for Perry because “it will be his first time out,” said Terry Nelson, a campaign strategist who had worked for former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, now out of the 2012 race.

Perry’s entrance has riveted political insiders and led to talk of how Romney,

a former Massachusetts governor, should respond.

It also siphoned off some of the buzz s u r r o u n d - Perry ing Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, a tea party favorite previously considered by many observers to be Romney’s chief rival.

But GOP strategists warn that it’s very early, and polls at this stage are often poor predictors of what’s to come in next year’s voting to pick a nominee.

“There’s movement all over the place,” said Kevin Madden, an unpaid adviser to Romney and a veteran of several campaigns.

At this stage in the 2008 presidential cycle, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani topped national Republican polls, followed by ex-Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson. Both men faded fast.

Barely registering was former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who four months later won the Iowa caucus. Arizona Sen. John McCain eventually claimed the nomination.

For all that, party insiders say Perry can be a potent and resilient contender if he avoids major missteps. They say that polls and anecdotal evidence suggest he can appeal to a crucial swath of Republican activists: deeply conservative voters who place a somewhat greater emphasis on the economy, especially jobs, than on social matters, such as gay marriage.

Unlike Bachmann, a threeterm House member, Perry can point to a record of robust job creation as governor. Unlike Romney, Perry espouses a long-held anti-Washington, anti-regulation philosophy that doesn’t leave hard-core conservatives wondering whether he’s a soul mate.

Romney’s response to the Perry surge has been calm and measured. He still points nearly all his criticisms at President Barack Obama.

Romney did, however, adjust his Labor Day weekend schedule to add a tea party event in New Hampshire and an appearance with Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C. DeMint, a tea party favorite whose endorsement could be valuable, also is hosting Perry, Bachmann, Texas Rep. Ron Paul

and others at a forum Monday in Columbia, S.C. Romney’s closest swipe at Perry was a brief jab last week at “career politicians” during a speech in San Antonio. Presumably that applies to the president and the Texas governor alike.

Danny Diaz, who has advised several Republican campaigns, says Romney is playing it smart.

“I don’t think there’s any reason for the Romney team to deviate from what they’ve been doing,” Diaz said.

Defeating Obama is the GOP goal. If Romney can convince them that he has the best chance of doing that, he may subdue more conservative opponents such as Perry and Bachmann.

But Michael Dennehy, a GOP veteran of New Hampshire campaigns, said Romney’s team “is crazy not to respond” to Perry right away.

“If they don’t,” Dennehy said, he’s going to be on top of them in no time.

The Republican contenders, including Perry for the first time, will face each other at the California debate on Wednesday and Florida forums Sept. 12 and Sept. 22.

Perry tells N.H. ‘no’ to border fence MANCHESTER, N.H. — He may have been 2,000 miles from the border, but Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry’s immigration record in Texas quickly became the focus in New Hampshire on Saturday afternoon.

Speaking to hundreds of Granite State voters at a private reception, the Texas governor was asked whether he supported a fence along the Mexican border.

“No, I don’t support a fence on the border,” he said, while referring to the long border in Texas alone. “The fact is, it’s 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso. Two things: How long you think it would take to build that? And then if you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”

Instead, Perry said he supported “strategic fencing” and National Guard troops to prevent illegal immigration and violence from Mexican drug cartels.

The answer produced an angry shout from at least one audience member. And it exposed an ongoing rift with some conservative voters over Perry’s immigration record.

Tea party activists in Texas have been particularly upset by his steady opposition to the fence. He also signed a law giving illegal immigrants in-state tuition for Texas universities.

And Texas tea party groups sent Perry an open letter this year expressing disappointment over his failure to get a bill passed that would have outlawed “sanctuary cities,” municipalities that protect illegal immigrants.

Tax fairness The sales tax that isn’t being collected on the sale of Kansas State University merchandise is only a small part of a much larger issue.

T

he issues surrounding the tax-free online sale of Kansas State University merchandise stretch far beyond purple T-shirts.

It recently has come to light that the “KState Official Online Store” is using a Florida-based shop to process and ship its online orders. Because that shop isn’t located in Kansas, no sales tax is collected on the purchases. Whether the practice falls within the letter of the law is debatable. Online retailers aren’t required to collect Kansas sales taxes if they have no brick-and-mortar presence in the state. The question then becomes: Is the “official” K-State store based in Manhattan or is it based in Florida?

A number of people, including some state legislators, think the common sense answer is that K-State is selling the merchandise and should collect the proper sales taxes. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that KState receives significant support from state tax dollars and it just doesn’t seem right for the school to take advantage of any sales tax loophole even if it falls within the letter of the law.

There is, however, a much broader issue to consider. State Sen. Robert Reitz, RManhattan, told the Journal-World it wasn’t right for a state entity not to collect sales tax while Kansas-based retailers selling the same merchandise are required to collect the tax.

“I think what is good for the goose is good for the gander,” he said.

That’s true, and, as we noted above, it applies to a lot more than Wildcat T-shirts.

Online shopping provides serious competition for traditional retail stores. It is convenient and allows people to shop around easily for the best price on about any item. It’s common practice for shoppers to examine a product in a local store then go home to see if they can find the same product at a lower price online.

Requiring online retailers to collect state sales taxes may not stop that practice but it is at least a step toward leveling the playing field — not to mention the additional sales tax revenue that would flow into state and local government coffers.

Kansas legislators can work to clean up the state law on online tax collections, but the issue may be better dealt with at the federal level. In July, the Main Street Fairness Act was introduced in the U.S. Senate. Its supporters say the measure is designed to simplify and modernize sales tax collections to make it easier for online retailers. It seems that computerized accounting systems would make such collections, if not simple, at least eminently doable.

Brick-and-mortar retailers across Kansas have to collect and remit those sales taxes.

It’s only fair that the online retailers that compete against them should have to do the same.

Pointed questions for GOP candidates WASHINGTON — Wednesday’s Republican “debate” in California will not resemble the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates, in which one candidate spoke for 60 minutes, the other responded for 90 minutes, and his opponent had 30 minutes for rebuttal. Still, today’s debates (“What is the meaning of life? You have 30 seconds”; “One word answer, please: Keynes or Hayek?”) can illuminate. So, some questions.

For Mitt Romney: One day recently you said, “I’m not for tax cuts for the rich. ... I want to make sure that whatever we do in the tax code, we’re not giving a windfall to the very wealthy.” The next day you said you support the Bush tax rates. Would making the Bush rates permanent constitute a tax cut?

Who is “rich” or “very wealthy”?

Does allowing people who make lots of money to keep lots of it constitute a “windfall”? In 1996, you called a 17 percent flat tax “a tax cut for fat cats.” Have you always used epithets like “fat cats”? What annual income or net worth defines “fat cat”? Are you one? Should economically successful Americans generally be stigmatized?

For Rick Perry: As an American anomaly — a hard money populist; the opposite of William Jennings Bryan — you fault the Federal Reserve for the promiscuous printing of money. It has indeed essentially promised a fourth and fifth year of very low interest rates. But someone or something must control the money supply.

George Will

“

georgewill@washpost.com

For all candidates: Raise your hand if you believe string theory explains the origin and nature of the universe.”

Should the Fed be independent?

Of what? Is it not a creature of Congress, which could set the money supply? But would not Congress constantly dictate low interest rates? Would you solve the problems inherent in fiat money by returning to the gold standard?

In Texas, you supported a state version of the DREAM Act, giving in-state university tuition discounts to illegal immigrants who graduate from Texas high schools, saying it would be unfair “to punish these young Texans for their parents’ actions.”

By what logic is this right for Texas but wrong for the nation?

The 11 million illegal immigrants could fill a line of buses extending, bumper to bumper, from San Diego to Alaska.

Which would be worse, some form of amnesty or the police measures that would be necessary to fill those buses?

Your Texas Emerging Technology Fund is, essentially, a government-financed venture capital operation to nurture infant tech industries and to lure some to the state. How do you square this form of industrial policy — government picking winners — with governmental minimalism?

For Michele Bachmann: You say that under President Bachmann gasoline will cost less than $2 a gallon. How? Will increased domestic drilling and oil shale production quickly and dramatically increase oil supplies and somehow sever the price of American oil from the world market price? Should politicians promise particular prices for global commodities?

After misidentifying New Hampshire as the state where “the shot heard ‘round the world” was fired, and misidentifying John Wayne’s Iowa birthplace, in South Carolina you misidentified Aug. 16, the day Elvis died, as his birthday. Incompetent staffers are feeding you false information. Has anyone been fired? Do you believe that when there is no punishment for failure, failures multiply?

For Jon Huntsman: You, who preen about having cornered the market on good manners, recently tweeted, “I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global

warming. Call me crazy.” Call you sarcastic. In the 1970s, would you have trusted scientists predicting calamity from global cooling? Are scientists a cohort without a sociology — uniquely homogenous and unanimous, without factions or interests and impervious to peer pressures or the agendas of funding agencies? Are the hundreds of scientists who are skeptical that human activities are increasing global temperatures not really scientists?

Your chief strategist, John Weaver, says the “simple reason” the GOP is “nowhere near being a national governing party” is that “no one wants to be around a bunch of cranks.” Do you share your employee’s disdain for the party? Although you say the country is “crying out” for a “sensible middle ground,” you have campaigned for three months on what you say is that ground and, according to the most recent Gallup poll, your support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents is 1 percent. Are the other 99 percent cranks? Should the cranks be cranky when the Democratic National Committee distributes your attacks on Republicans under the headline “Don’t Take Our Word For It”?

For all candidates: Raise your hand if you believe string theory explains the origin and nature of the universe.

Consultants, fees

Yes, I know that the world is going to pieces, and that the prowess of three gifted players doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. But I remind you that FDR wanted baseball to continue during World War II.

There is no justice in this murder trial On Aug. 26, the case went to the jury and the waiting began.

That’s what you do in a civilized country. You take the crime to court and look for justice.

It is a lofty word, isn’t it? Suggests a balancing of scales, a putting right of wrongs, the righteous retribution of outraged society.

Justice.

Three years ago, a 14-year-old boy named Brandon McInerney walked into a classroom at E.O. Green Junior High in Oxnard, 60-odd miles north of L.A. He sat behind 15-year-old Lawrence “Larry” King, pulled out a .22 caliber revolver and shot King in the head. The teacher screamed.

King slumped.

McInerney according to testimony, made eye contact with a classmate. Then he shot Larry King again.

Police found him a few blocks away, talking on his cell phone.

“I’m sorry, I did it officer,” he reportedly said.

Larry King, who lived in a children’s shelter, stood not quite 5 feet tall. He identified as gay and wore high heels and other feminine accouterments. This made him a target for bullies, McInerney among them, according to witnesses.

But King gave as good as he got. He flirted with his tormenters, playing on the sexual insecurity that is common in straight men and more so in straight boys.

McInerney was humiliated and outraged.

The day before the shooting, King is said to have taunted him, saying “Baby, I love you.” McInerney told anyone who would listen that he was going to kill

King. “Tell Larry goodbye because you’re not going to see him again,” one of King’s friends testified he said.

McInerney lived in a bedroom in his father’s house containing Nazi memorabilia, including Hitler speeches and swastika drawings. His parents were divorced after a violent, tumultuous marriage. His mother was once arrested for drugs. The father was an alcoholic presiding over a home so dysfunctional that, according to one press report, he forbade his son to cry after punching him in the face.

Prosecutors chose to try this troubled boy as an adult for firstdegree murder and a hate crime.

It was a grotesque decision. You do not send a boy away for 50

years for a thing he did, no matter how heinous, before he was old enough to shave.

His attorneys defended McInerney by painting King as a sexual predator and claiming their client panicked and snapped from the horror of being flirted with by a gay boy. It was a despicable strategy. Would anyone ask sympathy for an anti-Semite who panicked and snapped because a Jew said, “Baby, I love you”? On Thursday, the case ended in a mistrial after jurors were unable to decide between murder and voluntary manslaughter charges. But the detritus of this tragedy is beyond the power of any verdict to ever repair. Brandon McInerney will always be a ruined boy. School officials will always be wondering what they could have done to prevent this awful thing.

Larry King will always be dead.

And the rest of us will go back to grappling with the challenge that never ends: how to build a culture where it’s OK to be different, where standing out from the crowd is not an invitation to hatred and violence.

This collision between junior high school boys brings into sharp focus our failure to do that. So instead, we do this: Go to court and look for justice. There is something quixotic about that.

You see, there can be no justice here. It is far too late for that.

Outside help: I have often wondered why almost every time the city of Lawrence or Douglas County consider a project, an outside consultant is hired to advise or design the project. Even Kansas University does this, even though they have schools of business, engineering and architecture that teach consultants their expertise. If the faculty does not have the time to answer these requests, they could be profitable projects for graduate students, giving them learning experience and saving the city and county money. Also, there are many degreed professionals on the city and county staffs. Are they not fit to design and build?

Trash talk: I also wonder why any time there is talk of a change in city-county services, there is almost automatically talk of a fee or tax increase. Not too long ago, the newspaper stated that the city was transferring money from the water department to another city department. If there is excess money in the water department, are the water fees too high? Back before the corporate CEOs and the bureaucrats stuffed their pockets and crashed the economy, there was talk of needing an additional sewer plant. If that plant is needed in the future, excess money in the water department could well be used for that.

If the law does not allow for retaining funds until needed, then change the law.

Bruce Muzzy, Lawrence

Flat earth party?

To the editor: Political rhetoric is so negative. (Of course, we need to know what candidates will improve.) Candidates are against abortion, global warming, taxes, public school failures, Social Security, health plans, regulations, evolution.

Government is our enemy. Oh, yes, some affirm privatization of public programs, intelligent design, school vouchers.

Where is my candidate for “flat earth”?

Don Conrad, Lawrence

Gillian Welch Gillian Welch’s shows have gotten notice for some time, for being atmospheric and intimate, as the Los Angeles native works her way through ample catalog of roots- and folk-tinged country songs, talking to the audience and whoever is lucky enough to share the stage with her at the time.

Tonight’s show, officially titled “An Evening With Gillian Welch,” promises more of the intimacy as Welch and longtime collaborator Dave Rawlings play their better-known songs like “Revelator” as well as new cuts from the album “The Harrow & The Harvest.” In all, the show promises to be pleasing for any fan of traditional country, folk and bluegrass. But judging by the high volume of ticket sales, Welch and Rawlings won’t have a problem filling the place. Tickets to the 7 p.m. show are $34.50 at the Liberty Hall, 644 Mass., box office. Get there early, as all seats are general admission.

Winery, feds reach deal in elderberry case WICHITA — A federal judge has approved a settlement in a civil lawsuit filed by the government against a Kansas winery over claims about the medicinal benefits of elderberry juice concentrate.

U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson on Friday signed the consent decree hammered out by the Food and Drug Administration and Wyldewood Cellars of Peck. The move allows the winery to sell its product as long as it relabels it and removes from promotional materials any claims that elderberry concentrate cures or treats diseases.

Federal authorities raided the winery in June and seized bottles and drums of elderberry juice concentrate. Authorities contend the company’s claims of its benefits for treat-

ing various diseases made the product a drug.

Winery owner John Brewer said Friday the settlement frees up $50,000 worth of inventory that had been sequestered by the U.S. Marshals Service in a cooler at his Mulvane facility.

Under the settlement, Wylewood Cellars has five days from the entry of the decree to remove from all labels and promotional material any representation that elderberry juice products cure or treat diseases, then provide FDA with an affidavit of compliance.

Brewer must post a $57,100 bond before any material can be released, and the winery must pay all court costs and expenses, including those incurred by the Marshal’s Service.

FOR EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL

B (785) 843-9211

KANSAS 42, MCNEESE STATE 24

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Squares ruining athletics It looks as if the days of Kansas University playing in the same conference as Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are numbered.

Based on the pass defense’s performance in Saturday’s season opener, it’s evident the Jayhawks already are not in the same league as the Sooners and Cowboys.

Pass rush? No. Sound coverage of screens? Nope. Secure deep coverage? Not consistently.

The newcomers generating excitement all played on the offensive side for Kansas. True freshman running back Tony Pierson showed he can run faster than a conference can blow up.

OK, maybe not that fast, but the guy’s a burner. Classmate Darrian Miller has the knack for evading tacklers as adeptly as college presidents trick their own athletic administrators. Receiver JaCorey Shepherd, also fresh out of high school, flies, and it doesn’t take him nearly as long to reach his destination as it will take the OU women’s soccer team to reach that all-important game against Washington State.

The three freshmen are the sort of athletes who have what it takes to develop into All-Big 12 selections once they put a year of experience in their brains and a year of muscle on their bodies, except for one problem: There won’t be a Big 12 by then.

The good news as far as improving the pass defense that was the most troubling aspect of a 42-24 victory against McNeese State is that KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little will trust her head football coach, Turner Gill, to fix the problem, and Gill will trust his defensive coordinator, Vic Shealy, to take care of it.

That’s the proper way to do things, and that’s the way all levels of college athletics used to work. Then in 1989, some stuffy, starched-collar clod who used to get picked last on the playground came up with the idea of forming the Knight Commission, which brought presidents into ruining, er, running athletics. They had higher grades in school than athletic directors, so naturally they’re smarter on all topics.

If the presidents had taken care of the more important areas of college, such as, you know, fostering a learning environment, and let their administrators administrate and their coaches coach, schools actually would remain in conferences that enable their loyal alumni to travel to games and keep their non-revenue athletes sitting in classrooms instead of airports making connections for flights from Oklahoma City to Pullman, Wash.

Instead of trying to figure out which school deserves the blame in triggering the dominoes, trace it back to the Knight Commission empowering presidents, demanding they meddle in athletics. That opened the door to egos. To hell with the loyal alumni and the student-athletes, I want to be able to say I rub elbow patches with the top brains at Cal-Berkeley and Stanford, and, man, won’t my friends be impressed? Me, me, me, me, me.

Why is everybody so shocked that this conference realignment fad makes no sense. Why should it? The decision-makers don’t know the first thing about forming sensible athletic conferences.

So Kansas fans can’t just revel in a season-opening victory, warts and all, and reminisce about sweet, hilariously funny old football coach Don Fambrough, who was set to attend the game with his son Preston, but died in the morning. No, they had to make room in their stressed minds for conference uncertainty because the square pegs think they can fit into round holes and don’t have the slightest concept of just how square they really are.

KANSAS RECEIVERS KALE PICK (7) AND JACOREY SHEPHERD BUMP CHESTS after Shepherd’s second touchdown against McNeese State. KU opened its season with a 42-24 victory Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

KU celebrates season-opening win …

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The perfect opening-game scenario for Kansas University’s true freshmen must have looked something like this: Darrian Miller runs hard all night and has every carry but one go for positive yardage; Tony Pierson picks up a touchdown and delivers a few electrifying runs; and JaCorey Shepherd, the wide receiver teammates said all summer was nearly unguardable, picks up a TD in his first game.

Bing, bang, boom.

Led by three stellar showings from three of the Jayhawks’ youngest players, KU ran past McNeese State, 42-24, Saturday at Memorial Stadium. In doing so, head coach Turner Gill’s squad not only exorcised the demons from last year’s nightmare loss to North Dakota State, but also served notice that all the talk about how the team was improving was not lip service.

“I knew they had talent,” Gill said. “But (I didn’t) know if it was gonna come to fruition in this

ballgame. But it was great to see it. When they got their touches, they produced. They didn’t get scared about the bright lights or playing on the big stage and all those things, and it was good to see those guys produce for us.”

“Produce” is putting it mildly.

Running hard inside all night, Miller gained 63 yards on 13 carries. In eight fewer carries Pierson finished with 73 yards and a touchdown, including a 47-yard sprint in which he made two moves near the line of scrimmage that might have been missed if

not for the replay on the video board.

And then there was Shepherd.

All he did was catch three passes for 107 yards and two TDs. His 56-yarder in the first half was the longest by a KU receiver since Dezmon Briscoe in 2009, and his 100-yard receiving night was the first by a KU freshman since 1997.

“I actually thought it was gonna take me a little while to adjust to the speed of the game,” a humble Shepherd said after the win. “But Please see KANSAS, page 5B

… but mourns loss of Fambrough

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Don Fambrough, 88, beloved former Kansas University football player, assistant coach and two-time head coach, died Saturday morning after hitting his head in a fall.

Once a player for Fambrough and a longtime friend, Pat Henderson of the Williams Fund, on Saturday morning stopped by the house run by visiting nurses where Fambrough was staying to deliver him his parking pass for the KU football season that opened Saturday night.

One day after enjoying Fambrough’s company at a Quarterback Club gathering at the football complex, Henderson was greeted by a nurse who informed him that his old coach had taken a serious fall. Henderson went to the hospital, and there he learned in the cafeteria from Fambrough’s son

He made sure everyone knew he believed in athletic director Sheahon Zenger and second-year football coach Turner Gill.

It wasn’t always that way. Fambrough temporarily had soured on the program after the ouster of his friend Mark Mangino as head football coach.

“He was back to being himself and really looking forward to the season,” Henderson said of Fambrough’s mood at the coffee gathering.

Fambrough is survived by his two sons, Preston and Robert, and several grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending.

CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT

Pickens speaks out, sees OSU in Pac-12 “

The Associated Press

You can fix the Big 12 now, but it’s got to go to an equal STILLWATER, OKLA. — Oklahoma State billionaire booster Boone deal, and it’s not equal.�

Pickens says he doesn’t think the Big 12 will last much longer and believes the Cowboys eventually will end up in what’s now the Pac12 Conference.

Speaking before No. 9 Oklahoma State’s season opener Saturday, Pickens said the Big 12 probably won’t exist in five years.

In a statement, Oklahoma State President Burns Hargis confirmed university officials “worked actively to encourage Texas A&M to remain in the Big 12 and regret the Aggies decided to leave.�

Hargis said Oklahoma State is “moving ahead. Oklahoma State University’s athletic program has never been stronger from top to bottom, putting us in a position to explore and pursue options, including the possible expansion of our current conference. We are in close communications with our colleagues at the University of Oklahoma and expect a decision soon that will be in the best interest of our institutions and the state of Oklahoma.�

Pickens said Oklahoma State does not need to hurry a decision. “Don’t rush the monkey and you’ll see a better show,� Pickens

— Oklahoma State booster Boone Pickens said. “...We don’t have to decide this weekend.

Pickens said TCU is the logical choice if the Big 12 wants to add a 10th team following Texas A&M’s departure. He says Notre Dame and BYU wouldn’t be good fits for the conference. “Notre Dame already has a network and they’re damaged merchandise, as far as I’m concerned,�

Pickens said. “I don’t want Notre Dame. And BYU? Who in the hell knows where Provo, Utah, is? The natural one is TCU. So, if that’s it, do it and go forward. “You can fix the Big 12 now, but it’s got to go to an equal deal, and it’s not equal.�

Texas, which seemed in control of the situation last season as a half-dozen Big 12 members considered invitations from the Pac12, might have overplayed its hand with the creation of the Longhorn Network, which has been cited by supporters of A&M and other Big 12 schools as giving the Longhorns an unfair advantage. “The network could have been

Chiefs TE Moeaki out for season

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Chiefs put tight end Tony Moeaki on injured reserve Saturday after he was hurt in their final preseason game against Green Bay, depriving quarterback Matt Cassel of one of his most dependable targets heading into the regular season, which starts Sept. 11.

Kansas City also put linebacker Gabe Miller on IR and waived 25 other players.

The Chiefs took a different approach than most teams this preseason, playing their starters sparingly early on to guard against injuries after the NFL lockout wiped out a normal offseason.

The first-team unit then played into the second half against the Packers, while most teams used the final exhibition game largely to rest their regulars. Several players were banged up in the Moeaki game, including Moeaki, who limped off the field with what is believed to be a knee injury.

Moeaki’s loss is a significant blow to the defending AFC West champions.

He caught 47 passes for 556 yards and three touchdowns last season, giving the Chiefs the kind of receiving threat off the line of scrimmage that Tony Gonzalez provided for so many years. Now they’ll count on Leonard Pope, Jake O’Connell and Anthony Becht to fill his role.

Kansas City kept journeyman Tyler Palko and fifth-round draft pick Ricky Stanzi to back up Cassel at quarterback.

It’s still possible that general manager Scott Pioli will sift through the waiver wire to find a veteran who can serve as the backup.

the straw that broke the camel’s back,� he said. “A lot of people didn’t understand how dominant Texas was in the Big 12, how powerful they were.�

Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds “is a friend of mine,� Pickens said. “But DeLoss had too many cards and he played every damn one of them. I think that’s too bad. You get tired of saying ‘aaah’ while you get something shoved down your throat. I think that’s where we came out.�

Pac-12 commish will listen to proposals from Big 12 teams ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott is willing to listen if Oklahoma or others want to join his conference.

Speaking Saturday night, Scott acknowledged that “schools have reached out to us.�

He repeatedly said the conference was not seeking new members, as it was last year.

Scott added he had to listen to pitches from interested schools to evaluate what might be in the best interest of the Pac-12 members.

University of Oklahoma president David Boren said Friday that multiple conferences have shown interest in the Sooners recently and he expects to decide whether to leave the Big 12 or not within the next three weeks, if not sooner.

Before Texas and Oklahoma decided last summer to remain in the Big 12, there had been interest from the then-Pac-10 about moving West. That included Oklahoma State and Texas Tech as part of a potential 16-team league.

Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds reiterated Saturday before the Longhorns’ opener against Rice that they love the Big 12 and want to stay in the league. He said Texas will be watching to see what happens over the next few days if Oklahoma decides to leave, but that Texas will be fine no matter what happens to the Big 12.

Kansas State athletic director John Currie said his school remains committed to the Big 12, whether that means in its current configuration or through future expansion. He said the primary goal is to achieve stability.

For the Big 12, that has become a tedious challenge.

Missouri athletic director Mike Alden said Oklahoma’s interest in switching conferences only reinforces the notion of instability in the Big 12, but that he remains focused on keeping the conference intact.

Scott said further consolidation and more stability, in whatever form, would be healthy for college football.

Serena Williams dominates early at US Open NEW YORK — If anyone still harbored any doubts about whether Serena Williams is back at her best, she put on a pretty persuasive performance during the first 17 minutes of her third-round match Saturday at the U.S. Open.

That’s how long Williams needed to build a 5-0 lead en route to a 6-1, 7-6 (5) victory at Flushing Meadows over one of the best players the women’s field had to offer: fourthseeded Victoria Azarenka, a Wimbledon semifinalist two months ago.

Saturday night, top-seeded Novak Djokovic went on to a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 victory over 39th-ranked Nikolay Davydenko, a twotime semifinalist at the U.S. Open. Djokovic improved to 60-2 in 2011.

At the start of the day, the woman who’s seeded No. 1, Caroline Wozniacki, took to that same court and eliminated Vania King of the United States 6-2, 6-4. Wozniacki will continue her bid for a first Grand Slam title against 15th-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova, owner of two major trophies.

16-time major champion Roger Federer moved into the fourth round for the 30th consecutive Grand Slam tournament by overcoming what he called “tricky wind� and a second-set blip to defeat No. 27 Marin Cilic of Croatia 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.

RB Benson released from jail AUSTIN, TEXAS — Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson has been released from a Texas jail after serving five days of a 20-day sentence for misdemeanor assault.

Benson’s attorney Sam Bassett says the 28-year-old Benson earned time off his sentence by doing work mopping floors and helping paint crews. State law also allows inmates to begin earning time off as soon as they enter jail.

Benson pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor assault charges on Monday in Austin.

Benson has been the Bengals’ leading rusher each of the last three seasons, going over 1,000 yards in 2009 and 2010.

Kansas volleyball wins tourney J-W Staff Reports

For the second consecutive weekend, Kansas University’s volleyball team won a tournament title.

The Jayhawks swept South Dakota State, 25-11, 25-21, 2523, on Saturday at Horejsi Center to win the Jayhawk Invitational and stay undefeated at 6-0.

“We put a lot of pressure on them with our serve, our block and our attack,” head coach Ray Bechard said.

“Something we’ve got to figure out is to how to play that way even longer. Right now, we’re seeing that in spurts, which is a pretty typical early-season issue.”

Kansas put together a .500 attack percentage in the opening set, while forcing six Jackrabbit errors. Kansas finished the match hitting over .300 for the fourth time this season.

KU senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield was named Jayhawk Invitational MVP, one week after being named MVP of the Georgia Bulldog Invational. Mayfield crushed 43 kills for 4.30 kills per set, and added 32 digs.

“She’s been great in all areas,” Bechard said of Mayfield. “Her passing, serving and attack percentages have all been great. She is doing a lot of good things for us.

We’re happy with the way she’s been playing.”

Third-year sophomore Caroline Jarmoc and junior Tayler Tolefree were named to the all-tournament team after combining for 2.30 blocks per set. As a team, Kansas averaged 2.90 blocks per set.

Jarmoc drilled 34 kills and hit for a team-leading .417 attack percentage to earn all-tournament honors for the second straight week.

Tolefree led the team with her 1.20 blocks per set, while shelling out 24 kills.

“They’ve been working hard,” Bechard said. “They’re physical kids that are working hard, and they want to do well and know that’s an area that can really help our team.

As a whole, I think our team is off to a better start, blocking-wise, than we have been for a long time.”

Kansas will hit the road to Cedar Falls, Iowa, for the Northern Iowa Invitational on Sept. 16-17.

Baker hammers Peru St. J-W Staff Reports

BALDWIN CITY — Baker University’s football team welcomed Peru State back into the Heart of America Athletic Conference with a 55-12 victory on Saturday night.

Baker (2-0) will travel next weekend to Evangel University.

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

No. 1 Sooners destroy Tulsa

That was close: K-State escapes E. Kentucky

NORMAN, OKLA. (AP) — Landry Jones re-established his connection with AllAmerican receiver Ryan Broyles, Dominique Whaley ran for four scores in his debut and top-ranked Oklahoma routed Tulsa Saturday night.

Jones threw for 375 yards, Broyles came up just shy of his own school receptions record with 14 for 158 yards and the Sooners (1-0) extended the nation’s longest home winning streak with their 37th straight win on Owen Field.

Broyles’ 4-yard touchdown catch put Oklahoma up 30-0 with 4:23 left before halftime, and Tulsa (0-1) never mounted a challenge in Bill Blankenship’s first game as head coach.

The Sooners opened at No. 1 for the first time since 2003, after holding the top spot for only two weeks over the past seven seasons. They were selected as the preseason favorite after a solid finish to last season that included the end of a fivegame losing streak in BCS bowl games.

Kansas State fumbled five times — losing four of them — and struggled to get anything going against its opponent from the Football Championship Subdivision.

MISSOURI QUARTERBACK JAMES FRANKLIN, CENTER, IS CONGRATULATED by teammates Michael Egnew, top, Wes Kemp, left, and Justin Britt, right, after Franklin scored a touchdown in the first half. No. 21 Missouri upended Miami (Ohio), 17-6, on Saturday in Columbia, Mo.

BIG 12

Franklin-led Missouri topples Miami (Ohio) COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — James Franklin’s gut reaction: He flunked his first career start.

“Umm, I probably failed this test today,” Franklin said after No. 21 Missouri’s tougher than expected 17-6 victory over stubborn Miami, Ohio, on Saturday. “I’d say, eh, around a D, maybe.”

As the sophomore quarterback kept talking, he eased up on himself. Although his interception led to Miami of Ohio’s lone score, he did run for one score and passed for the clinching touchdown.

“I just think a win’s a win and it’s something I have to learn to enjoy,” Franklin said.

“There’s things that I’m worried about and things that I’m focused on that I didn’t do so well.

“I’ll give it a C-minus, being positive.”

Franklin was 17-for-26 for 129 yards. That was often a half-game under the three quarterbacks who preceded him at Missouri — Blaine Gabbert, Chase Daniel and Brad Smith — all of whom are in the NFL. Coach Gary Pinkel noted that Franklin made some nice throws in the second half, and said

there was plenty of room for improvement.

“You grow from adversity,” Pinkel said. “You don’t like going through it, but you grow from it.”

E.J. Gaines had an end zone

interception for the Tigers, who whipped the RedHawks by 38 points in their final preBig 12 tuneup last season but had their struggles on both sides of the ball in 90-degree heat. Three of their first four possessions ended quickly with punts for an offense that averaged 30 points last season, and Miami moved the ball with some success.

“We played solid overall,” defensive end Brad Madison said. “We made a lot of good stops and it was a satisfactory performance.”

Gaines’ pickoff halted a 67-yard drive near the end of the first half with MU up, 10-0.

“The momentum shift stuns you,” first-year Miami coach Don Treadwell said.

“Kind of like a boxer, you get that uppercut but you don’t go down.”

Missouri hurt itself with 81 yards on nine penalties, and has a short week ahead with the next game Friday night at Arizona State.

“I thought we just made more first-game mistakes than we’ve had for a long time,” Pinkel said. “We have to get better, and we’ve got to do it pretty fast.”

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

No. 4 LSU upends No. 3 Oregon The Associated Press

No. 4 LSU 40, No. 3 Oregon 27 ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Michael Ford ran for two touchdowns and Jarrett Lee admirably directed LSU’s offense in place of suspended quarterback Jordan Jefferson for the Tigers.

Missing cornerback-punt returner Cliff Harris was too much for Oregon to overcome in a rare seasonopening matchup of top-five teams on a neutral field.

Lee’s touchdown pass came against the freshman defensive back filling in for Harris. And a fill-in punt returner had a fumble that led directly to an LSU touchdown.

No. 2 Alabama 48, Kent State 7 TUSCALOOSA, ALA. — AJ McCarron stepped up in Alabama’s quarterback race, throwing for a touchdown and 226 yards for the Crimson Tide.

Vying with Phillip Sims to replace Greg McElroy, McCarron had a 24-yard scoring toss to Marquis Maze and finished 14-of-23 passing.

No. 5 Boise State 35, No. 19 Georgia 21 ATLANTA — Kellen Moore threw for three touchdowns — giving him 102 in his career — and the Broncos romped past the Bulldogs, boosting their hopes of making another run to a major

Auburn needed a successful onside kick and two touchdowns in the last 127 seconds to avoid a major upset to start the season.

HOW THEY SCORED First Quarter 5:30 — Daymond Patterson 25 pass from Jordan Webb. Alex Mueller kick.

After going three-and-out on the opening drive of the season, the KU offense got its ground game going on drive No. 2 James Sims got things started with a career best 30-yard run early, and true freshman Darrian Miller carried three straight times for 17 yards near midfield.

The drive covered 84 yards in eight plays and 2:41. (KU 7, MSU 0).

Second Quarter 11:52 — Josh Lewis 26 field goal. The Cowboys cracked the scoreboard with a short kick after a 17-play, 77-yard drive that spanned 8:31. McNeese appeared to score a game-tying TD on the final play of the first quarter when a halfback pass to Wes Briscoe was called back because of an illegal forward pass. The Jayhawks also were offsides on the play so the drive continued. Eight plays later, McNeese State was on the board. (KU 7, MSU 3).

8:00 — James Sims 1 run. Mueller kick. The Jayhawks answered McNeese State’s field goal with an eight-play, 73-yard drive that took 3:47 off the clock and left no doubts about what KU wanted to do — run. Sparked by a 47-yard run from true freshman Tony Pierson and 21 yards on the ground from Webb, KU took a two-score lead.

(KU 14, MSU 3).

1:51 — Tony Pierson 13 run. Mueller kick. Jayhawks opened up a commanding lead on the first TD in the career of freshman tailback Tony Pierson. After watching Miller pound away for 24 yards on 5 carries, Pierson took a handoff on the right side and slipped past the defense for the easy score. (KU 21, MSU 3).

Third Quarter 9:48 — Champlain Babin 14 pass from Cody Stroud. Lewis kick. The Cowboys opened the second half with a slow and methodical drive that put them right back in the game. Stroud completed 8 of 9 passes on the drive, including the TD pass, which came on a screen. The drive spanned 76 yards and 5:07 and took 12 plays. (KU 21, MSU 10).

8:02 — JaCorey Shepherd 56 pass from Webb. Mueller kick. Three straight runs from Sims set up KU’s fourth TD of the night, although it came in interesting fashion. After junior wide receiver Kale Pick slipped behind the secondary and was wide open, Webb underthrew him giving Shepherd a chance to swipe the ball out of mid-air and race to the end zone. The drive covered 61 yards and 1:40 in five plays. (KU 28, MSU 10).

4:24 — Wes Briscoe 32 pass from Riley Dodge. Kick failed. MSU’s 51-yard, seven-play drive late in the third quarter spanned 3:28 and featured the Cowboys scoring on a fourth-and-14 conversion.

(KU 28, MSU 16).

Fourth Quarter 13:20 — Webb 8 run. Mueller kick. Not content to watch others do all the scoring, KU’s quarterback scored KU’s fifth TD of the night on a designed QB run.

Webb’s run, which featured the sophomore diving at the goal line to stretch the ball across, was reviewed by officials and the call on the field stood. The plunge capped a seven-play, 45-yard drive that took 2:41 off the clock and put KU firmly back in control. (KU 35, MSU 16).

8:32 — Stroud 1 run. Damion Dixon two-point conversion pass from Stroud.

In an attempt to stage a late comeback, McNeese State struck quick with a fourplay, 64-yard drive that ran just 1:21 off the clock and cut KU’s lead to 11. (KU 35, MSU 24).

6:30 — Shepherd 48 pass from Webb.

Mueller kick. After three straight plays from the Wildcat formation to start the drive, injured KU QB Webb returned to the game and threw a TD — Shepherd’s second of the night — on his first pass.

The drive took 1:56 and covered 70 yards in five plays. (KU 42, MSU 24).

KANSAS RUNNING BACK DARRIAN MILLER HITS THE TURF after being brought down by McNeese State free safety Malcolm Bronson (34) and safety Ryan Bronson in the second quarter. Miller helped the Jayhawks claim a 42-24 season-opening victory Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

RB Miller has dandy debut

Finally, Kansas linebacker Steven Johnson was able to see some other defense try to tackle KU freshman running back Darrian Miller.

In practice, Johnson admits it hasn’t been easy.

“It’s just like, ‘How is he getting extra yards?’ because his legs never stop moving,” Johnson said following KU’s 42-24 victory over McNeese State on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. “He’s a good running back, and he’s only going to make our offense better.”

Miller was one of a few true freshmen who showed potential in their first collegiate game Saturday, when

he rushed 13 times for 63 yards — an average of 4.8 yards per carry.

“I think he has a combo as a running back,” KU receiver Kale Pick said. “He can run over people and make people miss at the same time. He’s does a really good job at spinning and breaking tackles. He has that double threat.”

Miller also showed consistency.

Each of his first four carries — and seven of his nine in the first half — went for at least five yards.

Most of those were on inside runs. KU coach Turner Gill said the freshman didn’t get many opportunities Saturday to use his speed on the edge.

Miller’s longest run of 12

late in the second quarter helped set up a Tony Pierson 13-yard rushing touchdown. “(Darrian’s) just a big-play threat, another one of those,” KU tight end Tim Biere said.

“You know he can find a little bit of space and wiggle through there and break some tackles and take it to the house. That’s good to have.”

Miller, who was not available for postgame interviews, came to KU as a highly touted running back out of Blue Springs (Mo.) High.

The 5-foot-10, 181-pounder was ranked a four-star recruit by Rivals.com and also the top player in Missouri for the class of 2011.

He was KU’s second running back to get into Saturday’s game, coming in during the Jay-

hawks’ second series following sophomore James Sims.

Pick said he’d been impressed by Miller since the first days of spring practices, when the back broke away for a few long runs during a scrimmage.

“He showed us what he could do and made people miss and made some big runs,” Pick said. “Now you guys are starting to see what he can do on game day.”

Johnson said the linebackers have already had discussions about Miller in practice, talking about how he’s a player that has to be wrapped up to be taken down.

“I’ve been telling people that he is slippery,” Johnson said. “Darrian’s going to be really good.”

threw just 10 passes all night, starting quarterback Jordan Webb sure made the most of them. The second-year starter completed all but three passes he threw and finished with 146 yards, three TDs and no interceptions.

“What you saw today was what we’ve been seeing all along,” Gill said of his QB. “We definitely saw that we’ve got quite a few running backs who can do some things with the football, so (Webb) just needs to go ahead and manage the offense, make the throw that he has to make and I thought he did that. I thought he played extremely well.”

Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger took time away from KU’s season-opening football victory against McNeese State on Saturday to discuss the uncertain future of the Big 12 Conference.

“We were disappointed to hear the comments yesterday from Oklahoma,” said Zenger of comments from OU’s president about the Sooners’ wandering eyes. “We thought we had nine schools that were committed, strongly committed, to the conference but we don’t know anything else so there’s not much more than I can say or comment on other than to say the chancellor and I are in constant contact exploring all strategies that will benefit the University of Kansas and we still believe the best option is a strong Big 12 Conference with nine schools committed.”

Asked if he believed the Big 12 could survive with eight teams, should OU decide to leave, Zenger pointed toward his desire to continue to work with the rest of the league.

“That’s not something we’ve even... We’re not even thinking beyond this at this point,” he said. “I need to continue to visit with the conference leadership and the other ADs.”

I actually came out and played pretty well.”

So well, in fact, that he actually stole passes from his own teammates. Shepherd’s 56-yard TD pass from Jordan Webb, which put KU (10) comfortably ahead, 28-10, looked more like an interception at the time.

“It was actually for Kale,” confirmed Webb, who finished 7-of-10 for 146 yards and three TDs. “JaCorey kind of took it from him.”

Pick was the first to let Shepherd know about it, but not in the way that many of the diva wide receivers who litter the NFL might have.

“I just said that that was my ball and he lucked out and got that one,” Pick said with a smile. “I thought I was gonna catch it, but he made a great play, and he got the ball. If it’s a score for our team, I can’t It’s a get mad at complete the kid.”

“I was — Kansas running my University route, and quarterback my instincts Jordan Webb were just to go get it,” he said. “If he wasn’t behind me and I didn’t catch it, it would’ve been incomplete, so I just went up and got the ball.”

Shepherd’s second TD catch of the game, a 48-yarder with 6:30 to play that fell into his waiting arms, came with the nearest McNeese State defender still 15 yards away. It also sealed KU’s victory.

While Shepherd and his fellow freshmen delivered highlights in bunches, the rest of the KU offense quietly pounded away on the ground. The Jayhawks rumbled for 301 yards rushing on 55 attempts, the most for a Kansas squad since racking up 334 in a victory against Northern Colorado in 2008.

Lost in all the excitement from the freshmen was the fact that sophomore starter James Sims ripped off another 100-yard night, the fourth in his young career.

Sims finished with 104 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.

The Jayhawks, with four players with five or more carries, ran the ball on 85 percent of their offensive plays.

The reason?

“When things are working, there’s no need to go away from it,” Gill said.

Added senior center Jeremiah Hatch, a man who took particular pride in the success of the ground game: “We’ve been under coach Gill’s offense for a year now, adjusting, learning. We still have to learn from this game, but running the ball is gonna define this team.”

For now, their record will.

After starting 2010 with a 6-3 home loss to North Dakota State and struggling all season to escape the shadows of such an embarrassment, the Jayhawks went home in a much better mood Saturday night.

“It definitely feels good,” Webb said. “We knew people were talking about last year, and we just wanted to come out and prove that we’re a completely different team.

It’s a complete 180 from last year. It’s 2011 now, and we’re gonna have a great year.”

Cowboys not too miffed by setback to Kansas

By Gary Bedore

gbedore@ljworld.com

McNeese State’s football players didn’t gift-wrap a victory for their head coach Saturday on his 48th birthday.

The Cowboys of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) did give Matt Viator the next best thing to a ‘W,’ however: a gutsy, competitive performance in a 42-24 season-opening loss to Football Bowl Subdivision member Kansas

University at Memorial Stadium.

“I like the effort. I really do.

But we came here to win the game and didn’t get it done. I quit counting birthdays years ago,” Viator said after watching his Cowboys gain 420 yards to KU’s 447.

A year ago, KU fell to FCS school North Dakota State, 6-3, in the first game of the Turner Gill era.

“I didn’t mention it, because I thought that would work to

our disadvantage. I guarantee you coach Gill was talking about that every day, and everything I read, every player talked about it,” Viator said.

“I thought it worked a little bit to our disadvantage in a sense ... look at what Kansas did today. Look what Virginia Tech did today to Appalachian State (66-13 victory after losing to James Madison a year ago). It’s one of those things that slipped up on Kansas last year. I

knew coach Gill was going to have them ready this year.”

Viator said Gill outsmarted his Cowboys in one regard.

“One thing I thought Kansas did a great job of was no-huddle (offense). That’s something new that they got us with,” he said. “We didn’t practice it a snap because they didn’t do it last year.

“Kansas did to us tonight what we feared — run the football (301 rushing yards).”

Viator had no complaints about a 39-yard, game-tying touchdown being erased when it was deemed his team threw an illegal forward pass with his squad down, 7-0. Instant replay showed that two forward passes were attempted on the score.

“Chalk that up to replay,” he said. “That’s a touchdown in our league (where there’s no replay). They never showed the replay (on score-

board). I’m not going to gripe about that. I’m sure they (officials) took their time and looked at it. I’m sure it was two forward (passes).”

The Cowboys had success using two quarterbacks. Riley Dodge threw for 107 yards and a TD and rushed for 45 yards. Cody Stroud threw for 218 yards and a TD. “I thought our offensive line held up all night. I think we’re going to be pretty special,” Dodge said.

AN ARTIST’S RENDERING OF THEATRE LAWRENCE’S planned 300-seat facility to be located in the Bauer Farm development near Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive. The project needs to secure another $618,000 toward its $6.2 million fundraising goal .

Close to curtain time Theatre Lawrence races toward fundraising goal

heatre Lawrence presented 16 performances of “Annie” last year, but not everyone interested in watching could attend. There weren’t enough seats.

Theatre Lawrence is located in a 65-year-old church building at 15th and New Hampshire Streets. Many patrons have to park on the street because there isn’t enough parking. But if Theatre Lawrence leaders are able to reach a $6.2 million fundraising goal for a new and bigger building by Sept. 30, the days of

Donors are not expected to write the check right away.

They can pay donations over a five-year period. For instance, a person could pledge $100, then make $20 annual installments. As long as Theatre Lawrence gains enough pledges to reach its $6.2 goal, it will receive the $1.5 million in grants. turning people away could be over.

People at Theatre Lawrence are now trying to secure the last $618,000 in a fund-raising campaign that will result in the construction of a 300-seat building to be located in the Bauer Farm development near Sixth Street

and Wakarusa Drive.

At the campaign’s launch in August, board members of the Ross and Marianna Beach Foundation donated $300,000 to the Theatre Lawrence project.

“We just know how important this is to Lawrence,” says Carrie Edwards, a Beach Foundation

board member. “We are happy to support the theatre and we hope that this will propel other people to help as well so we can make that building a reality.”

The Beach Foundation is known for its dedication to the arts, and the Theatre Lawrence building project is aligned with the foundation’s mission statement.

“That donation was a huge vote of confidence in our organization and a great shot in the arm for our campaign,” says Mary Doveton, Theatre Lawrence executive director.

’ve been thinking a lot about labor, lately.

OK, that’s not 100 percent true. I’ve been thinking about it a little, because tomorrow is Labor Day and I needed a timely theme for this week’s column.

Whenever I hear the word “labor,” I hearken back to St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City where — after two days of Pitocin-induced contractions — I delivered my 10-pound, 5-ounce first-born son.

That was 30 years ago next week,

and I still haven’t lost the baby weight. Cheers to you, my darling!

You were totally worth the extended agony and distended abdominal muscles.

Of course, that’s not what Labor Day is all about. Nor is it about the end of summer, the beginning of football season or the drop-dead date for white shoes and handbags.

Labor Day is about workers. And by worker, I mean a lucky Jane or Joe with a job.

It’s amazing how much we re-

member about our first jobs. Heck, I remember more about my first job than I do about my first kiss. Maybe it’s because I didn’t get paid for the latter.

I’d been babysitting for 50 cents an hour since the age of 11. At 15, I was ready to move to a higher economic echelon in order to support my Yardley cosmetics habit. I set my sights on an illustrious clerk’s job at the local Hickory Farms store.

There was one problem: 16 was the Please see BOOMER, page 11B

BEHIND THE LENS

Dreaming up the perfect camera, digital warts and all DIGITAL ROT, the inevitable loss of value in digital cameras, makes it confusing to know when to jump in and purchase a new camera. Old film cameras hold their value better but don’t have the conveniences of digital technology. The best advice is to buy a quality camera that fits your needs today.

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

I’ve decided that the next camera I purchase will be my dream camera.

I may have to spend a considerable amount of money, but I’m determined to own a camera that will have everything I will ever need. It will be very well built, last many years and I will never regret the purchase.

Right now, I’m getting tired of reading about all the new cameras and advances in technology each month. I figure if I settle on one really good camera, then I can quit worrying about all others and get about the business of taking photographs. Yes, the Journal-World supplies me with nice cameras, but using them outside of work can be like taking an electric guitar to a bluegrass jam. It’s not necessarily my instrument of choice and it’s not my guitar anyway.

But, here’s the problem. It’s known as digital depreciation or “digital rot,” as written about recently by wellknown photo blogger Ken Rockwell.

Because digital camera sensors keep

improving, cameras purchased today are quickly outdated.

Film cameras, on the other hand, are metal boxes, with mostly mechanical parts, built to last and very reliable. Some models don’t even require batteries. Improvements to film cameras come from advances in lens design and film emulsions. I believe many photographers would agree that if you shot a roll of 100 ASA film through a good film camera from the 1960s today, you could get results comparable to current

high-end digital cameras. In fact, with film improvements, you’ll probably get better results from that Nikon F than you could in 1960.

Film cameras hold their value, their digital counterparts do not.

Consider that when the JournalWorld invested in our first professional digital camera, the Nikon D1, it retailed for $5,500 and had a file of only 2.74 megapixel. Ebay has one on sale today for $294.00.

Compare that to an old film camera, like the famous Nikon F, with a list

price of $359.50 in the ’60s. There’s one currently on eBay for $700. But honestly, I doubt if many of us care to go back to film cameras. Digital camera gains in auto-exposure, auto-focus, low-light sensitivity and the ease of working with your photos on a computer are conveniences we won’t live without. So we’re left with digital rot and the acknowledgement that digital cameras have a short life span, just like computers.

To avoid the restless cycle of worrying whether your camera is still good enough or wondering when to buy that next new camera, it really comes down to your needs. Whatever your choice in camera, if it satisfies your needs today, there is no reason it can’t meet your needs in the future. Meanwhile, I’m daydreaming about my next camera because I’ve finally decided which one to buy. I just haven’t purchased it yet. I heard rumors last week that the manufacturer is planning a Dream II model.

I think I’ll go grab my acoustic guitar and sing the blues.

BOOKS Having a very goon year

By Kristin Tillotson Minneapolis Star Tribune

NEW YORK — Jennifer Egan takes bold leaps all over the literary map. Her latest novel, “A Visit From the Goon Squad,” has been called wildly ambitious, bravura, a virtuoso performance. “Is there anything Egan can’t do?” crowed the New York Times Book Review.

Heck, yes, she’d say if you asked her. At the moment, fumbling with the spankingStephanie Ann Barrows, new iPhone she’s still figuring poet, out, Egan is neither leaping Lawrence “‘Jumping Through Fires’ by nor virtuosic. She is anxious, about the family’s sick cat.

In a back booth of Cafe A, a fixture in her old East Village neighborhood in Manhattan, Egan is framed by a giant funky painting. Her delicately featured, foxlike face breaks into a rueful grin.

“Really, there’s not that many people you can call and expect to wrangle a practically feral cat that needs shots and maybe a trip to the vet,” she said, taking another sip of iced tea.

That same month, HBO optioned the book for development into a television series.

The book, which caroms between the 1970s and the near future with several stops in between, is a sort of literary tribute to old-style record albums, each chapter a different tune “sung” in a writing style distinctive from the rest.

One, about an ill-fated Clarissa Murray, young man in love with thenrecycling center employee, student Sasha, is written in Lawrence the second person. Another, “I like Stephen King books. I about an entertainment jourlike all of them. It’s the way nalist who gives in to his he writes and I love that it’s basest impulses while interscary.” viewing a starlet, is a heavily footnoted parody of/homage to modern lit’s most enthusiastic footnote fan, the late David Foster Wallace.

In keeping with a running theme of the good old days of rock and how the industry has changed, the chapters follow the “A’’ and “B’’ sides of several characters’ lives.

Sasha the compulsive klepto has a high school friend, Rhea, whose life is forever tainted by an affair with a Frank Mosier, predatory, much older mupharmacy delivery driver, sic mogul. PR princess Dolly Lawrence tries to resurrect her ruined “‘John Lennon: The Life’ by career by upgrading the imPhilip Norman. I’m really into The Beatles. It’s all about the man.

Poet’s Showcase

‘10’ Today the sky is still blue, the grass green and the sun still shines But do you remember where you were that fateful morn?

When planes became weapons, when the towers tumbled down When our minds couldn’t believe nor understand what our eyes saw.

Heroes were declared under the red, white and blue Hearts bled, spirits cried as the smoke filled the sky Honor was found in the most unlikely of spots And we became one, that fateful morn, ten years ago.

Telluride Boomer festival antidote to Hollywood formula

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8B

By John Horn

Los Angeles Times

TELLURIDE, COLO. — Two of the last three best picture Oscar winners — “The King’s Speech” and “Slumdog Millionaire” — had their world premieres here at the Telluride Film Festival. Organizers of the idiosyncratic cinematic celebration in southwest Colorado didn’t exactly plan it that way (the Academy Awards attention is actually a minor if welcome embarrassment to them), but as the 2011 event kicks off this weekend, everyone’s watching to see if their Midas touch will continue.

On paper, there’s a real contender: Alexander Payne’s “The Descendants,” the writer-director’s first film since 2004’s Merlot-bashing “Sideways.” Starring George Clooney as a disconnected father of two girls whose life is upended following his wife’s traumatic brain injury, the movie holds the potential to be a critical and art-house triumph.

But for the programmers in Telluride, Hollywood statuettes and box-office riches are hardly top of mind.

The quirky event prides itself on providing an antidote to Hollywood formulas, as organizers lard the festival with “Ulysses”-length undertakings (this year, it’s Martin Scorsese’s 3 1/2-hour documentary about Beatle George Harrison), demanding dramas (director Steve McQueen’s sexual obsession story “Shame”) and relatively unknown foreign-language imports (including films from Chile, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Belgium and Albania).

Eclecticism, in other words, trumps populism.

“The commercial stuff does not jump out at you,” said Julie Huntsinger, who with Tom Luddy and Gary Meyer directs the festival.

“But we think it’s a great bouquet.”

In its determination to program its Labor Day lineup the way a fromager might assemble a spread of obscure cheeses, the Telluride team attracts more small-town cineastes than Hollywood deal makers (although this year, two talent agencies will host fancy parties at local estates). Because festival passes are sold before the film schedule is released, festival guests arrive in the small ski resort town (at the head-spinning elevation of 8,750 feet) with no idea what they’re going to see.

“We’ve always felt lucky that our crowd is so dedicated,” Huntsinger said. “We always encourage people to be adventurous, and they’re going to have to be this year.”

In addition to “The Descendants,” “Shame” and Scorsese’s “Living in the Material World,” Telluride will host the world or North American premieres of Werner Herzog’s death row documentary “Into the Abyss: A Tale of Death, a Tale of Life”; Glenn Close’s performance as a turn-of-the-century Irish woman passing for a male waiter in “Albert Nobbs”; Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen as Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud in director David Cronenberg’s “A Dangerous Method”; and the environmentally themed documentaries “Bitter Seeds” (a look at genetically modified crops) and “The Island President” (about the Maldives).

Although it is not yet part of the official film list, “Butter,” a comedy about a butter-carving competition, is expected to be shown at the festival.

minimum age for hiring.

Desperate for Glimmerick’s new Quicksilver eyeshadow and with my 16th birthday a few months away, I prayed preemptively: “Forgive me, Jesus, Mary and Joseph.” Then, I lied about my age for the privilege of cutting cheese and beef stick.

I even remember my first uniform — a countrified affair of chambray, red gingham and Earth shoes. (There may have been a hairnet involved, but I’ve blocked this sordid detail from memory.)

My supervisor was a mean, redheaded cheese marm named Rose who kept harping at me to “upsell the cheese, upsell the cheese!”

I left work every night, my hair smelling like Limburger.

(Come to think of it, there weren’t many kisses during that period.)

In the end, I left that job, disgusted. But, I took with me many lessons, like the difference between blue stilton and gorgonzola and that this “upselling” thing happens all the time. A consumer must constantly be on her guard.

My next episode of employment was as a waitress at Mission Hills Country Club.

There I learned the fine art of banquet service and how to deal with Dieter the German cook’s frightening, quickfired temper. I also learned to fend off the advances of predatory bartenders three times my age, and how to make pantyhose last longer than 48 hours.

Waitressing served me well. I used my experience to secure summer jobs at resorts in Minnesota (where I waited on Paul Newman, by the way), Arizona and, fi-

rence co-president, says the Beach Foundation pledge was “really fabulous” and “ it helped fuel our energy for the campaign.”

Other significant donors have included Tensie Oldfather ($1 million), the Sunderland Family Foundation of Overland Park and Bobby and Eleanor Patton of Lawrence ($300,000).

Theatre Lawrence is also asking the city to make a $100,000 donation. The request is pending.

A significant chunk of the money raised thus far consists of $1.5 million in out-of-state challenge grants. In order for that money to materialize, Theatre Lawrence must meet its fund-raising goal by Sept. 30. The project has $618,000 left to raise.

“If we want to bring this $1.5 million into Lawrence, we need to reach our goal,” says Bunker. Otherwise the $1.5 million will be forfeited.

To secure pledges, Bunker and others are hitting the phones, writing letters and meeting with prospective donors. And they are encouraging community members to contribute in anyway they can.

Donors are not expected to write the check right away.

They can pay donations over a five-year period. For instance, a person could pledge $100, then make $20 annual

I enjoyed the public interaction and analyzing the mysterious diagnoses in my oversized Rolodex.

The job was fairly ho-hum until the magical day when George Brett was admitted for hemorrhoid surgery.

“If anyone gets up to Eighth Floor, heads will roll,” my supervisor said, sternly.

For five days, I intercepted and rebuffed scores of buxom groupies in Number 5 jerseys, bearing flowers and teddy bears.

“I’m sorry,” I’d say, flatly.

“We have no patient by the name of Brett.”

I discovered my poker face at that job, as well as the meaning of angina, myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident.

From there, I would go on to labor as an activity director in retirement centers and nursing homes, an entertainer specializing in children’s birthday parties, maker of

installments. As long as Theatre Lawrence gains enough pledges to reach its $6.2 goal, it will receive the $1.5 million in grants.

“We are at the point right now that every gift really counts,” says Doveton.

The new building will contain 300 seats, nearly double that of the current building, and it will include a collection of classrooms for children’s programs. With its youth education programs, Theatre Lawrence serves more than 1,000 children a year, but there is not enough space to serve everyone interested.

“It will be so exciting to serve more children and expand all of our programs,” says Doveton.

Parking will also be improved.

“Compared to our current facility, (the new location) will have lavish parking,” says Doveton.

Another perk of the new facility will be adequate storage space for theatre props. Now, costumes are scattered in three different places in Lawrence. The new facility will provide enough space to store all of the theatre’s wardrobes.

If Theatre Lawrence reaches its goal, construction of the new facility could start in late winter. Construction is expected to take 12 to 15 months.

With the Sept. 30 deadline looming, leaders of Theatre Lawrence are confident they will meet their goal.

“We will meet the goal, but we will meet it with the help of lots and lots of people,” says Doveton.

Fairy rings more likely to appear after rain Circle of mushrooms signifies increased activity of fungi underground A

lthough mushrooms can pop up anytime in your lawn, the cooler days of fall might inspire a crop in your yard. If they appear in a circle, you need not worry. The occurrence is known as a fairy ring and is common for several species of fungi.

The first time I saw a fairy ring, the mushrooms had popped up in a near-perfect circle about 20 feet in diameter. Because I was quite young, my father told me a story about fairies touching their magic wands to the ground to make the mushrooms. The circular formation was important, he said, so the toads that would sit on them could have a meeting — a round table discussion, I suppose. While I still appreciate the legend, their growth is more simply explained.

The web of fungi that a fairy ring mushroom grows from is very similar to mold on bread or cheese. Have you ever noticed how the moldy spot is usually round?

Think of the fungus as beginning from a central point and growing outward at an equal rate in all directions. A mushroom is just a fruiting body of

the fungus. Mushrooms produce spores for reproduction like a flower produces seeds, although the reproduction process differs between plants and fungi.

Sometimes a fairy ring circle is incomplete or only a few mushrooms are produced because of specific environmental conditions. In either case, the mushrooms can simply be removed and composted or placed in yard waste collection. They can also be left in the lawn. If children or pets are present, removing the mushrooms is a good option because they may be poisonous.

Occasionally, turf dies within the fairy ring or on the

outer edge of the circle. The fairy ring fungus does not kill turf directly. Fungal mycelium (this is the white webby stuff growing under the soil surface) prevents water movement into the soil and the grass dies from drought stress. Core aerifying the turf and watering it will help.

Also, stressed turf is more prone to damage, so follow good mowing, watering and fertilizing techniques.

Another possibility is for grass to appear greener in the circle or on the edges of the circle. Green rings are the result of heightened activity in the soil where the fungus is growing.

In this case, applying a minimal amount of nitrogen or iron fertilizer to the entire lawn will help to mask the symptoms.

Rain will make fairy ring mushrooms more likely to appear. If it rains hard enough, maybe some toads will come out for a round table discussion.

A FAIRY RING CAN CAUSE GRASS TO DIE because the fungal network under the soil can prevent water movement, causing draught stress.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Ornamental brass sundials yield big money at auction

By Terry Kovel

Sundials are not just garden ornaments. They can tell time if set up properly. They have been made for centuries and collectors search for the flat type called “equatorial” or “equinoctial” sundials by experts, and other types like those made to hang on a wall or those that are spherical or cone-shaped. The age, maker, shape and decoration all determine the price. Usually 17th- and 18th-century signed brass sundials are best. There are two important parts to a sundial. The “plate,” which usually is a round, flat disk marked with numbers, and the “gnomon,” the piece that casts the shadow on the plate. Most modern sundials come with directions for installation. It is determined by the latitude, the North Star and some adjustments to find due north. There are websites that list complete directions. Many sundials sold in gift shops today make no attempt to be used as anything but ornaments and cannot be set accurately. A very small handheld sundial made in the mid-18th century by Andreas Volger of Augsburg, Germany, was auctioned in 2010 by Skinner’s in Boston.

It has an octagonal base and engraved Roman numerals,

It sold for $450. Look for garden antiques that can stay outside, like a large brass sundial, but wipe the brass with a thin coating of wax for added protection from snow and rain.

Q:

It probably is best not to display a Revigorator. To get rid of it, you should ask how your city handles toxic waste.

Other jugs and bottles may contain remnants of dangerous poisons, so be very careful about leaving them open or even saving the contents.

I have read about dangerous jugs made Q: I collect stuffed-cloth of radioactive clay. advertising dolls. What are I collect stoneware jugs. the most important dolls to What should I worry about? look for?

A:

When radium was discovered, many thought it had curative qualities. So some quack medicine potions and medical devices were made using radium. One of the most popular and the one most often a problem today is the “Revigorator jug.” Although it was made in the 19th century, it is shaped like an atomic energy plant cooling tower. There is a spigot near the bottom of the jug and printed information on the sides. The jug was made with radioactive material, and even today the jugs are radioactive. They should be tested with a Geiger counter if kept on display. The inside is more dangerous than the outside, so do not put your hand inside. And although the instructions say to fill the jug with water you can drink during the day, that’s a danger to your health.

A: Every collector has favorites. I like the early Aunt Jemima family of four, Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Snap, Crackle and Pop and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Campbell Soup’s Campbell Kids and the Pillsbury Doughboy. More recent dolls include those made for fast-food restaurants, like McDonald’s Ronald McDonald and Hamburgler, and Burger King’s King.

Q: When was fake bamboo furniture popular? I have a dresser that has drawer edges made of wooden dowels painted to look like bamboo. Round, carved and painted, bamboo-shaped posts at the edges serve as trim and feet.

A: Everything Asian, especially Japanese, was considered elegant, mysterious and high-fashion in the days

of the Aesthetic Movement, from the 1870s to 1900. In Britain, bamboo and fauxbamboo furniture was popular for summer homes. The idea spread to the United States, and R.J. Horner Co. of New York City was the bestknown of the furniture makers that popularized the style.

The U.S. Centennial in 1876 mounted some Japanese exhibits that sent American designers of pottery, furniture and other decorative arts in a new direction. The American furniture on display was made of wooden faux bamboo because these pieces were stronger and would last longer than anything made with real bamboo. In Britain, real bamboo often was used.

Son will do well to practice compassion Dear Annie: My 12-yearold son, “Mark,” is starting middle school. He has a semi-friend, “Scott,” whom he met in day care years ago.

In spite of attending different schools, they have maintained a friendship, but it has diminished with time.

Mark and Scott now have little in common. Mark has lots of friends and is involved in several activities. Scott, however, has few interests, hardly any friends and is a little odd. He is a good kid with good parents, but he is socially awkward.

Mark has no interest in hanging out with Scott, who calls frequently. He puts up with him on occasion and has tried to involve Scott in things that interest him, but Scott doesn’t share any of Mark’s enthusiasms. Mark and I have talked about Scott, and I’ve done my best to teach him to be a good person and deal with Scott’s difficult nature. I’ve even talked to Scott’s parents about their son’s poor social skills and have suggested ways to teach him how to behave in a more acceptable manner. (Some days, he calls Mark every two minutes during the course of an afternoon.)

Here’s my problem: Scott is now attending the same middle school as Mark. I know Mark won’t want to

son evaluated for social anxiety disorders and Asperger’s.

Dear Annie: Some time ago, I noticed that my wife had a large friction burn on her tailbone. I asked her how that happened, and she said it came from sitting in the bathtub.

I may not be the brightest guy in the world, but that doesn’t seem a likely way for a female to get a friction burn on her coccyx. Does her anniesmailbox@comcast.net description sound true? — Trusting Husband socialize with him, nor will Dear Husband: A red mark he be keen for Scott to hang on her tailbone could be from around his friends. Middle banging her rear end in the school has enough pressure for kids. How can I best guide my son? — Middle-School Mom Dear Mom: Kids like Mark are highly attuned to the social pressures of school.

He undoubtedly believes having an “odd” friend will complicate his popularity.

Nonetheless, it is important that you teach him to be compassionate and tolerant.

He doesn’t have to hang out with Scott or invite him to everything. But he should be kind when he sees him and include him when possible. Mocking, bullying and teasing are absolutely off limits. His friends will respect him more if they see he has integrity.

And please talk to Scott’s parents about having their

MDA Telethon a shadow of its former self Reports of Jerry Lewis being fired from his own telethon, then reinstated and all but airbrushed from the proceedings appear to have overshadowed another sad fact. The MDA Telethon (6 p.m., syndicated, check local listings) will last only six hours. It will actually end at the crack of midnight, Labor Day, a time when past telethons were just getting started.

For years, this annual charity event offered insomniac viewers more than 21 hours of entertainment of wildly uneven quality. The forced-march nature of the show, coupled with the mawkish personality of its founder and host, all but guaranteed gaffes and bizarre emotional outbursts. And that was at the core of its curious appeal.

With or without Jerry Lewis, the 2011 MDA Telethon puts its emphasis on the slick and competent over the unpredictable, cheesy and chaotic. And that’s just too darn bad.

Scheduled talent includes Darius Rucker, Lady Antebellum and Martina McBride.

Nancy O’Dell, Nigel Lythgoe, Jann Carl and Alison Sweeney will be your hosts.

Where have you gone, Tony Orlando?

Much like the Jerry Lewis telethon, our commonly held assumptions about dinosaurs have undergone radical renovations over the years. “Dinosaur Revolution” (9 p.m., concluding next Sunday, Discovery) uses computer graphics to present new discoveries and theories about the long-lost reptiles.

Complete with the dinosaur-on-dinosaur violence you’ve come to expect from specials like these, “Revolution” puts special emphasis on new ideas about dinosaur mating rituals and family dynamics. Apparently, the dads were hands-on, even without hands!

Perhaps the most radical notion presented here is one of perception. For years, dinosaurs were presented as an evolutionary dead end, a doomed species that vanished before humans arrived to dominate the planet. “Revolution” argues that mankind’s time on Earth is but a tiny fraction of the 160 million years of the reptile reign.

Tonight’s other highlights

A venerable Harrison Ford saddles up for the 2008 sequel “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” (7 p.m., NBC).

New episodes of “Inspector Lewis” arrive on “Masterpiece Mystery!” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

“9/11: Heroes of the 88th Floor” (8 p.m., TLC) recalls two men who helped dozens escape after a jetliner struck the World Trade Center’s north tower. Like so many specials of its kind, “Heroes” is compelling as a thriller and, at the same time, very difficult to watch.

Sookie puts her faerie skills to work on “True Blood” (8 p.m., HBO).

“Border Wars” (8 and 9 p.m., National Geographic) enters a new season.

A half-hour helping of “The Good Wife” (8:30 p.m., CBS) recaps the first two seasons in anticipation of the drama’s move to Sundays.

Hank asks Walt to look into a hunch on “Breaking Bad” (9 p.m., AMC).

Ice cream truck-related memories throw Larry off his game on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (9 p.m., HBO).

Turtle feels financially squeezed on “Entourage” (9:30 p.m., HBO).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Sunday, Sept. 4: This year, you open up to new situations more easily than in the past.

Sometimes your past fears about change could reappear. If you are single, you might be surprised by how easily you could meet someone and grow close.

If you are attached, you will both enjoy more time at home. You relax with Sagittarius.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Enough of the same old routine; it’s time to take off for a day trip or meet a dear friend halfway. Tonight: Try a new restaurant.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You value a relationship, probably much more than many people.

Today, make special time for a loved one, whether it is a lengthy meal, a movie or off enjoying a mutual hobby. Tonight: Enjoy the one you are with.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Defer to others, knowing full well what you are dealing with. Someone you care a lot about might be off pursuing a special interest, or he or she could

jacquelinebigar.com

be quite remote. Tonight: Defer, defer, defer.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Pace yourself and maintain a nice, easy stride. You benefit from a lack of pressure and a more open attitude. Tonight: Don’t push.

Leo (July 23-Sept 22) Your playfulness emerges early on.

Your popularity soars. A serious conversation could help you clear the air.

Tonight: In the spirit of the holiday.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) Honor an obligation; although home is really where you want to be. Evaluate an expenditure involving property or your home. Tonight: Flip the burgers.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Try not to rain on anyone’s parade. You could feel quite limited or isolated if you do. Others really care about your opinions. Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s news.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use care with spending. It might not be worth the effort to try to appease someone who simply wants to throw a tantrum. Tonight: Balance your checkbook.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21) Your energy attracts many people. Bring family and friends together for a fun holiday gettogether. A friend pitches in, but this person takes everything he or she does far too seriously. Tonight: All smiles.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Step back and let others take charge on this holiday weekend. You might need some downtime to enjoy a walk and perhaps a midday snooze.

Tonight: Get some muchneeded zzz’s.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Bring friends together. Celebrate the last official summer holiday. Catching up on others’ news is fun. Tonight: Don’t forget someone at a distance.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Know that many people will look for you, whether you are visiting different Labor Day parties or throwing your own.

Tonight: Beam in what you want.
