JOE JONES SITS IN HIS SMALL SPARSE APARTMENT just blocks from the capital building in Topeka. Jones is trying to get his life together these days after spending nearly eight years in prison for rape but was eventually cleared through DNA evidence.

Joe Jones struggles to rebuild life after wrongful conviction, release from prison

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Joe Jones knows that block in downtown Topeka well.

He lives nearby, but nowadays avoids Kansas Avenue altogether.

The Topeka native can point to the exact building where a woman spotted him — and then called police, identifying him as the man who had raped her the night before.

What if he’d taken a different street as he walked home from a club on Aug. 25, 1985?

What if he left the club earlier, or later? What if he’d walked on the other side of the street?

“To go thinking like that, you know, ‘what if?’” said Jones, his voice trailing off.

From that walk 26 years ago, it’s been a long, winding road for Jones, from convicted rapist to one of the first people in the country exonerated by DNA, to where he is today: an unemployed former drug

addict who’s spent the past decade in and out prison for crimes he really did commit.

In his small, one-bedroom apartment in Topeka, Jones talks about his case, and the man who really committed the rape all those years ago. Jones and the defense team who eventually freed him think they know who that man is.

And DNA evidence — sitting in a storage freezer in Richmond, Calif. — might be able to confirm or refute their suspicions.

Two decades after Jones walked out of prison a free man, a terrible wrong has yet to be fully righted.

And no one yet has received justice in the case, says Jim Kenney, an investigator for Jones’ public defender team.

“The victim didn’t. Joe didn’t,” said Kenney, the memory of the case still fresh.

“Whoever really did it, they got away with it.”

According to documents from Kansas Athletics Inc. and an interview with its chief financial officer, the athletics department owes about $58.8 million in debt as of the end of the 2011 fiscal year, which ended June 30.

Susan Wachter, Kansas Athletics’ chief financial officer, said the debt was “all very manageable.”

“The debt’s there, but it’s not something we can’t manage,” she said.

Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director, said the debt shouldn’t affect the other athletics operations.

“As long as it stays manageable, it will not and should not hamper us in any way,” he said.

During the last fiscal year, Kansas Athletics spent about $2.5 million on payments toward its debt, according to its financial statements.

In addition to these payments, Kansas Athletics is also putting some money aside for a contractual obligation for men’s basketball coach Bill Self, who will be due a $2.1 million retention bonus from his contract in 2013.

That payment — similar to retention bonuses for former athletic director Lew Perkins — will be tax-free for Self, so Kansas Athletics will likely pay Self an amount similar to the $3.59 million in gross bonus pay it paid to Perkins in 2009. Wachter said Kansas Athletics is aware of the coming payments and has been setting money aside to cover it.

Here’s a breakdown of where the department still owes money and when it should fall off the books:

Facilities Revenue Bonds: $44,255,000 This category encompasses most of KU’s current debt load. Wachter said the bonds are paying off two major projects: !" Renovation to the football stadium undertaken while Bob Frederick was the athletic director. ! Major renovations done to Allen Fieldhouse, which were completed in 2009.

Wachter said Kansas Athletics was able to refinance the football stadium debt at a lower interest rate in 2004.

Kansas Athletics paid about $1.2 million as a debt payment for the projects in the 2010 fiscal year. Wachter said the football stadium debt is set to be retired by the 2023 fiscal year, and the Allen Fieldhouse renovations should be paid off by the 2033 fiscal year.

Preserving a reputation: Painter makes saving buildings, history his life

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Don’t tell Dennis Brown that buildings don’t matter.

It was on a December afternoon in 1984 that Brown became surprised at how much they do matter. He had picked up a copy of the Lawrence Journal-World and read that a demolition permit had been filed for the Union Pacific Depot in

North Lawrence.

Brown didn’t have any intimate knowledge of the building, but he knew he liked it. He had always liked stone buildings, which is kind of odd for a house painter who probably would be out of business if everybody had built from stone.

But even Brown was surprised at how the news of this building’s pending de-

ing really bad,” said Brown, who left it at that. “I didn’t know it at the time, but I thought it was easier to save the building than work on what was wrong in my own life.”

By the mid-1990s, the building’s malaise was over.

Back on that December day, Brown had written a letter to the editor that ran in the Please see BROWN, page 2A

mise struck him.

“I just remember thinking that I couldn’t hold my head up and still live here if I didn’t do something about this,” Brown said.

Brown had been living here since 1977, and this seven-year Lawrence adventure hadn’t treated him too well. Then along comes this building that perhaps was feeling a bit like he was.

Kan. groups partner for haunted house fundraiser

By Shajia Ahmad The Garden City Telegram

GARDEN CITY — When the dark side of Garden City materializes, it’s hard not to look on the bright side.

That is, organizers and volunteers behind the largest known haunted house in southwest Kansas aren’t looking to make a buck this Halloween. Instead, they’ve been building bloody sets and other frightening fabrications over the past several weeks as a benefit for the Windsor Hotel on Main Street.

Known as the “Dark Side of Garden,” the haunted house project is spearheaded by The Garden City Noon Lions Club and is serving as a fundraiser for the Finney County Preservation Alliance, the nonprofit group that works to restore and renovate the national historic landmark built in 1887.

Shelby Hanneman, a member of the Noon Lions Club and media chairman, said at least 50 volunteers already have put in their time, and toil toward building the scenes and scares inside the vacant building at 1216 Fleming St., formerly the location of Aaron’s Rental and just north of Westlake Ace Hardware.

Hanneman said the Noon Lions, a community serviceoriented group and a local chapter of Lions Club International, participates in a handful of fundraisers throughout the year, their signature project being an effort to raise funds for eyeglasses and eye appointments for needy area children.

Hanneman said this year the group was looking to break away from their normal activities and do something “a little different and off the wall.”

Debt CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Complex, but, because of the way the debt is structured, the entire $6 million will be due in one lump-sum payment in 2017.

The Anderson Football Complex was completed in time for the 2008 football season. Most of the funding for the project came from private donations from Dana and Sue Anderson, former basketball team captain Tom Kivisto and his family, and other donations.

Contributions payable to the university: $4,727,489 Kansas Athletics has an agreement with KU to pay for some of the debt associated with the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, Wachter said. The athletics department’s payments supported the building of new gyms in the building.

“We found out the Preservation Alliance had canceled their plans for a haunted house at the Windsor, so we thought let’s partner with them,” Hanneman said. “We were looking at our options, like where and how much it would cost. Our original idea was to do something real simple, just three or four tiny spooks — nothing real crazy.

It definitely developed into something of a much larger scale.”

Inside the large empty building on Fleming Street, at least 200 feet of wall covered with Visqueen — a brand of fire-retardant polyethylene plastic sheeting — has been erected to create the tunnels guests will use to meander through the spooky space.

Spider webs cover every nook and cranny of the tunnels covered in black tarp.

Volunteers still are working on several of the scary sights and sounds along the haunted hallways, but little surprises already have popped up along the way: creepy crawlers caught in webs, decapitated heads hung from the ceilings and life-size ghouls greeting guests at every turn.

Hanneman said the haunted house is divided into two alternatives: a family-friendly part and a second, morecostly haunt described by organizers as “terrifying.”

The cost for the first section is $9, and for both haunts is $14; tickets are available at the door.

In addition, $10 advance tickets are available for both haunts at area businesses.

“The quality is going to be extraordinary. We want people to realize we’ve put in the time and money and effort, and it’s going to be a really good and scary time,” the Lions Club representative added.

The athletics department paid $465,000 to the university last year, and its total obligation is scheduled to be paid by June 2020, Wachter said.

Long-term debt on Jayhawks Tennis Facility: $2,537,973 The athletics department spent $3.1 million in 2010 to purchase the First Serve Tennis Center at 5200 Clinton Parkway from Mike Elwell.

Kansas Athletics paid $61,040 on the debt associated with the purchase last year and is scheduled to have it paid off by June 2015.

Capital lease obligation for Allen Fieldhouse video board: $1,245,317 Kansas Athletics paid just more than $571,000 toward the debt on the video board last year, and the entire debt is scheduled to be paid by the 2013 fiscal year.

knew it, a group had formed and Brown was part of it. After a multiyear effort that involved everybody from City Hall leaders to U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, the building had been refurbished and reinvigorated.

It would be fun to say that the building’s rebirth led to one for Brown. But Brown is a stickler for historical accuracy.

“That would be life as a fairy tale, and it is not,” Brown said.

But Brown had his day, too, and don’t think that the building didn’t play some role in it.

“I certainly didn’t save that building,” Brown said. “Lots of people were involved in that. But there’s probably seven to 10 people in this town who can say that if they hadn’t done what they did, that building probably wouldn’t be there. I’m on that list and that makes me proud.” #"#"#

Not everybody in Lawrence uses the word pride to describe historic preservation efforts. Sometimes it is described as more of a pain.

Brown understands that better than most. Today, he is the president of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance.

He’s been the group’s president for the last four years and recently was re-elected to another term.

He’s missed only one of the city’s monthly Historic Resources Commission meetings in the last seven years, and he long has been the fellow who often stands up at a microphone and asks city officials to slow down on approving a project that involves building in a historic area.

He knows that doesn’t always make him the most popular guy in a development community that frequently laments of a process that is “business unfriendly.”

But he said he does it with good reason.

“When you are going to make an irreversible change, it behooves you to take a moment and make sure you know what you have,” Brown said.

These days there are plenty of opportunities to stand up. Brown recently was instrumental in a compromise that appears destined to save the old Varsity House in the Oread neighborhood while still allowing a new apart-

— Dennis Brown ment complex to be built on the site. Brown also will be watching plans for a new hotel in historic downtown, a major redevelopment of an old warehouse district in east Lawrence, hopes for the renovation of the old Santa Fe Depot, and a host of other projects that don’t garner nearly as many headlines.

But to Brown those lesserknown structures that maybe weren’t the home of anyone prominent have become an important cause to trumpet.

“I know grand old buildings like the Castle Tea Room or the depot are often the introduction to historic preservation for a lot of people,” Brown said. “But it needs to go beyond that. Historic preservation shouldn’t just be about rich white men.

Stories of all types need to be told.”

Fellow historic preservationists who serve with Brown said that even though Brown is often described as quiet, you can bet he’ll find a way to tell those stories.

“He really has just made this his life,” said Carol von Tersch, who serves on the LPA board. “That is really what he brings to this.”

Von Tersch said she can see the efforts of Brown and others beginning to pay off.

“I think there are a lot of people in Lawrence who are a whole lot more knowledgeable about historic preservation than they used to be,” von Tersch said. “I’d like to think that is in part because of the LPA and people like Dennis.” #"#"#

Maybe it is surprising that a man who loves old buildings so much was raised in Johnson County — a place that seemingly has more Hummers than history. For a while it didn’t make sense to Brown either. Growing up in the early 1960s, he would build tree houses with the scrap lumber from the new homes that were constantly popping up around his once rural neighborhood near 87th and Pflumm.

“It wasn’t until high school that I realized I was watching a major cultural change, and I really didn’t like it,” Brown, 59, said.

But old houses were different. Brown likes hearing

the stories about how some old homes used to come with a knot-hole guarantee. The builder would pay the homeowner a dollar for every knot found in a piece of lumber.

“Think about how broke you would be today,” Brown said.

But there is more to this fascination than straight lumber and heavy timber. At some point, Brown discovered that an old home could become a canvas. That was an important discovery for a man who had toiled at becoming a short-story writer — a man who read Kerouac and searched for ways to give more layers to words.

A short-story writer, though, had better have another job or a very small stomach. So while in Northern California, Brown met an excellent house painter who taught him the trade. When he returned to Kansas, he brought the trade with him.

But even then he wasn’t sure it would be for him. He remembers being frustrated by the dullness of painting a house a single color. Finally he began to persuade a few Lawrence residents to let him add a few extra colors to their house — at no extra charge.

He remembers how his job on one large house in Old West Lawrence produced a steady stream of cars to see the progress. Today, many of Lawrence’s most prominent “painted ladies” have come from the brush of Dennis Brown Painting, a business that he runs with his son Duncan.

“Now I kind of think of what I do as street art that is available to view every day, including Christmas,” Brown said.

Brown isn’t the first to treat a house as a canvas. He realized that one day when he was working on the old home at 701 La. He was painting the shingles that sided the gable above the front porch. Near the top, there was triangle of diagonal shingles placed in a pattern unlike any other on the house.

“I couldn’t figure out what was going on. Then I realized that these guys who built this house so long ago had signed it,” Brown said. “They were saying: ‘We were here and we’re damn proud of it.’”

Buildings matter for a lot of reasons — sometimes because they speak for people who no longer can.

“I painted those shingles with a different color,” Brown said. “It was my way of saying: ‘I understand.’”

Attack on NATO convoy kills 17 A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a vehicle loaded with explosives into an armored NATO bus Saturday on a busy thoroughfare in Kabul, killing 17 people, including a dozen Americans, in the deadliest strike against the U.S.-led coalition in the Afghan capital since the war began.

The blast occurred on the same day that a man wearing an Afghan army uniform killed three Australian soldiers and an Afghan interpreter in the south — attacks that show the resiliency of the insurgency and are likely to raise new doubts about the unpopular 10-year-old war and the Western strategy of trying to talk peace with the Taliban.

A spokesman for the fundamentalist Islamic movement, which was ousted in the 2001 invasion for its affiliation with al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the Kabul attack, saying the bomber had used 1,540 pounds of explosives.

Snow pelts East Coast, cuts power An unusually early and powerful nor’easter dumped wet, heavy snow Saturday from the midAtlantic to New England, toppling leafy trees and power lines and knocking out electricity to more than 2 million homes and businesses.

Communities inland were getting hit hardest, with eastern Pennsylvania serving as the bull’s-eye for the storm. West Milford, N.J., about 45 miles northwest of New York City, had received 15.5 inches of snow by Saturday night, while Plainfield, Mass., had gotten 14.3 inches. New York City’s Central Park set a record for both the date and the month of October with 1.3 inches of snow.

More than 2.3 million customers lost power from Maryland north through Massachusetts, and utilities were bringing in crews from other states to help restore it. More than half a million residents in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut were without power, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. By late Saturday, the storm had vacated most of Pennsylvania and was tracking northeast.

Throughout the region, officials had warned that the early storm would bring sticky snow on the heels of the week’s warmer weather and could create dangerous conditions. New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts declared states of emergencies.

Connecticut authorities blamed at least one traffic death on the storm.

Qantas Airways grounds global fleet Qantas Airways has grounded its global fleet, suddenly locking out striking workers after weeks of flight disruptions that an executive said could close down the world’s 10th-largest airline piece by piece.

Following Saturday’s announcement by Qantas, the Australian government called for an emergency arbitration hearing, which was adjourned early this morning after evidence was heard from the unions and airline. The hearing was to resume this afternoon, when the government was expected to argue that the airline be ordered to fly in Australia’s economic interests.

Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said the airline could be flying again within hours if the three arbitration judges rule Sunday to permanently terminate the grounding and the unions’ strike action.

The unions want the judges to rule for a suspension so that the strikes can be resumed if their negotiations with the airline fail.

Artists show off storied work as patrons tour studios

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Diana Dunkley looks at a large painting full of dark, deep colors and swirls. It’s displayed pristinely at 1019 Del.— it’s her studio space, her painting, but she’s talking excitedly about, well, the excitement of talking about art.

She says the Lawrence ArtWalk, which she helped found with bookstore owner Pat Kehde in 1995, is a special event for artists and patrons alike because it gives the creators the opportunity to tell stories about their work. It’s the storytelling, she said, that makes it more fun.

“Sometimes I learn more about the piece by telling it, too,” she said.

The 17th annual Lawrence ArtWalk kicked off Saturday and continues today. It’s a selfguided tour of 21 studios, gal-

PLANNING FOR TODAY The ArtWalk locations are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today. Maps and more information about the 21 artists can be found at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H., or online at lawrenceartwalk.org. leries and living rooms. What makes it special, Dunkley said, is the intimacy of showing art in the spaces it was made — that leads to storytelling, connection with the art and, the artists hope, greater interest in purchasing a piece.

Lawrence artist Jason Wood is showing his mixed media works and prints in his home at 1108 Conn. He says he appreciates the ArtWalk because showing in his own space helps him to be “a lot more comfortable — totally at ease.”

Mary Sparks, a retired art teacher from Overland Park,

had never been to an ArtWalk event but agreed that the chance to see the artists’ spaces made the event unique.

“In a gallery, you just see the final product,” she said, “but if you can see their studio, you get to see the process.”

Lauretta Hendricks Backus’ big, bold, colorful acrylics cover the walls at 933 Penn.

— not her space, admittedly, but the borrowed space of a friend. She, like Dunkley, felt that attendance was down compared with the event’s last year.

Still, the ArtWalk gives her a chance to display and sell her work where she may not have had it otherwise.

“And it’s a social thing, too,” she said.

Israel and Gaza militants exchange fire between parked cars, edging closer Israeli aircraft struck at Palestinian militants in Gaza on Saturday who responded with a volley of rockets that rained on southern Israeli towns, Israeli and Palestinian officials said. Palestinian officials said seven militants were killed, while on the Israeli side one civilian was killed and four others were wounded.

Exchanges of fire are common between southern Israel and the Gaza strip controlled by the militant Hamas group, but this is the worst one in months.

Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Adham Abu Salmia said that seven people were killed and 15 wounded in two separate attacks on militant targets.

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said one Israeli civilian was killed and four others wounded when Palestinian rockets exploded in residential areas in southern Israel.

“Contact forward! Contact right!” soldiers in street clothes, barely out of the their first few semesters, yell as they pull up and aim rifles. It’s the code that they’ve seen someone — you can never be sure if “someone” is friendly or not. It’s a warning that a stranger is approaching.

Doctor blames state for death of Tiller ———

Ex-colleague says attorneys general failed ‘to make rational decisions’

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

When Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed in 2009, and the murderer was still on the loose, someone close to Tiller told Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus she needed to leave her house as a precaution.

That’s how life has been for Neuhaus, a longtime associate of Tiller’s.

In an interview with the Lawrence Journal-World, Neuhaus said she sometimes wore a bulletproof vest. When traveling to work at Tiller’s Women’s Health Care Services clinic, Neuhaus would park her car somewhere else in Wichita, and a Tiller employee would pick her up so that anti-abortion activists, who held a daily vigil outside the clinic, wouldn’t copy down Neuhaus’ license tag.

That was the routine.

Associating with Tiller, a frequent target of anti-abortion violence, carried risks. But Neuhaus said she has no regrets about working with him.

“He was a highly complex person,” Neuhaus said. “He was Please see TILLER, page 4A

BRIEFLY Kansas Land Trust to hold mushroom hunt

Admission is free for KLT members and $25 for non-members. Anyone may become a KLT member at the event and have the fee waived.

of a Kansas postal worker during a robbery.

The Kansas City Star reports that Gary Holcomb Sr. pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder in the death of 32-yearold Philip Whitehead on April 2, 1981.

Whitehead was shot during a robbery at his home in Leawood. Prosecutors say Holcomb was not the shooter but he was part of the robbery that led to the shooting. Under the plea agreement, Holcomb will be sentenced Dec. 1 to a prison term of 12 1/2 years to life.

which simulated interaction with hostile and noncombative “locals,” an ambush of one group and the rescue of a downed pilot in enemy territory.

“We’re trying to see how they’ll react under pressure,” Brunkhorst said. “So we try to make it as realistic as possible.”

The Air Force ROTC students perform the exercise once per semester. The goal is to be authentic and to show the newest cadets the realities of the program.

“Airmen aren’t just in the

air anymore,” Brunkhorst said.

Cadet Tyler Underwood, who also helped lead the exercise, said after the event that most did extremely well, especially given their knowledge and skill base. No one but the cadets playing the combatants knew the entire scenario beforehand.

“It was definitely a learning experience,” Underwood said.

It’s all simulation, of course. And not even a greatly sophisticated simulation at that — the “base” is a parking lot, the civilians are older cadets — but it gets the about 40 Air Force ROTC members who participated on Saturday thinking.

“The people entrusted to make rational decisions” failed, she said, referring to the attorneys general.

After Tiller’s acquittal, Roeder gunned him down. Roeder is serving a life sentence in prison.

Dealing with anti-abortion forces Neuhaus said that when anti-abortion activists didn’t get the court results they wanted “they go rogue.”

According to news reports, Roeder attended those court hearings in the case against Tiller, and kept up with Tiller developments through the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue.

Cheryl Sullenger, senior policy adviser for Operation Rescue, said Roeder would initiate contact with her.

But Operation Rescue has said Roeder had no affiliation with the group.

Sullenger served about two years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to bomb an abortion clinic in California in 1988. She has since renounced violence.

Reports have indicated the allegation against Neuhaus before the Board of Healing Arts stems from a complaint filed by Sullenger.

Neuhaus conceded that anti-abortion forces have been successful in getting more restrictive abortion laws passed in Kansas and across the country.

“We have a whole generation of women who are clueless about what it was like in pre-Roe days,” she said, referring to the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.

And even though she admired Tiller, Neuhaus said that if she had it to do over again, she probably wouldn’t have taken the health care route that she did.

“It’s not fair to your family,” she said.

Officials: At least 2 injured in Atchison grain elevator explosion

By John Hanna Associated Press

ATCHISON — An explosion at a northeast Kansas grain elevator injured at least two people Saturday, shaking the ground for miles around in the town of Atchison and sending a fireball high into the night sky that was visible across the river in Missouri, authorities said.

The two injured victims were in the burn unit at Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., about 50 miles south of the blast site, hospital spokesman Dennis McCulloch said. A news release from Atchison city officials said multiple injuries were reported, but that authorities were withholding details pending notification of families.

The cause of the explosion

was not immediately known, though grain elevator mishaps often occur after grain dust becomes suspended in the air and turns explosive in the right conditions.

Several area police and firefighting agencies were on the scene late Saturday, and fire crews were seen pumping water onto the wreckage well into the night.

The explosion could be seen and felt for miles around the area, locals said. Across the river in Buchanan County, Mo., a sheriff’s dispatcher said their office took numerous calls from residents saying they could hear the explosion deep into the county.

The St. Joseph, Mo., NewsPress reported the blast sent up a fireball that could be seen well away from the site.

A WALL STREET PROTESTER who declined to be identified rallies Friday in Nashville, Tenn. More than 200 protesters converged near the state Capitol the night after the state issued a curfew and arrested 29 demonstrators.

OCCUPY WALL STREET

Tennessee protesters defy curfew a 3rd time

By Travis Loller Associated Press

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Occupy Wall Street protesters and state officials in Tennessee squared off for a third consecutive night Saturday, even though a local judge has consistently refused to jail the demonstrators.

The protesters have been galvanized by the friction between state officials and the local magistrate. Several new demonstrators showed up at the state-owned plaza near the Capitol for the first time earlier in the day.

Fifty to 75 people remained after the curfew that started at 10 p.m. and runs until 6 a.m. Police did not immediately move in. In previous nights, the defiance has led to arrests.

The Nashville arrests came after a week of police crackdowns nationwide on Occupy Wall Street activists, who have been protesting economic inequality and what they call corporate greed.

Clashes have occurred in other cities, including Oakland, Calif., Denver and Atlanta. “My heart has been here all along, but the arrests gave me the momentum to come,� said Vicki Metzgar, 61, director of a Nashville Public Schools science and math initiative. “This (plaza) belongs to us, not the politicians.�

In Oakland, Calif., an Iraq

War veteran was seriously injured during a protest clash with police Tuesday night. In Atlanta, helicopters hovered overhead Wednesday as officers in riot gear arrested more than 50 protesters at a downtown park. In San Diego, police arrested a similar number of people who occupied the Civic Center Plaza and Children’s Park for three weeks. And in Denver on Saturday evening, authorities moved into an encampment of protesters and began arresting demonstrators just hours after a standoff near the steps of the Colorado Capitol turned into a skirmish that ended in police force, including pepper spray and reports of rubber bullets.

Nashville magistrate Tom Nelson has said there’s no legal reason in his city to keep the demonstrators behind bars, and he has released them after each arrest. He has refused each night to sign off on arrest warrants for more than two dozen people taken into custody.

Some legal experts agreed with the judge.

The arrests appeared to be a violation of First Amendment rights that allow for people to peacefully assemble, said attorney David Raybin, a former prosecutor. He and others said the nature of the arrests, coupled with the judge’s refusal to sign off on the warrants, could become ammunition for lawsuits.

Jones CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

‘Didn’t seem like a rapist’ In 1985, Jones was a carefree 23-year-old recently laid off from a factory job at Frito Lay. He spent his entire weekends in the garage and had dreams of one day racing cars.

Jones liked to have fun, but had never been arrested or been in any sort of legal trouble.

On his way home from a downtown club on Aug. 25, he walked down Kansas Avenue, nearing the intersection of 10th Street. It was after midnight.

Police cars met him at the intersection. Officers asked for his identification, found marijuana stuffed in his wallet and hauled him to the station for questioning.

Jones, at the time, thought it was all about the marijuana. What he didn’t know: A woman inside a club he walked by had called police and identified Jones as the man who had raped her the evening before.

Jones explained where he was the previous night, but it didn’t matter. Once police started asking about a sexual assault, Jones said, he went blank. He says he remembers being transferred from the police station to the jail, arrested for his first-ever crime.

Ron Wurtz, Jones’ courtappointed attorney, said it didn’t take him long to believe Jones’ innocence.

For starters, Jones had no criminal record. He was gay.

Wurtz also had defended his share of violent criminals, and Jones didn’t fit that profile.

“He just did not present, in any way, shape or form, as a violent person,” Wurtz said.

“He didn’t seem like a rapist.”

‘They looked so much alike’ While Jones waited in jail for trial, another man, 19-year-old Joel Russell, was committing a string of violent crimes in the area.

Kenney, the investigator assigned to assist in Jones’ defense, saw Russell at the courthouse one day and began focusing his efforts to free Jones by connecting the crime to Russell, then a teenager.

Recent mug shots of Russell and Jones don’t show much of a resemblance, other than both men are black.

Russell is lighter skinned and heavier, by about 70 pounds.

But back in 1985?

“They looked so much alike,” Kenney said. “I thought they could have been brothers.”

With the strong eyewitness testimony against Jones, Kenney said their only hope at trial, and eventually on appeal, was to show that another man committed the rape.

Kenney then, and now, believes that man was Russell.

In addition to the resemblance, Kenney pointed to similarities between the crimes Russell was eventually convicted of and the rape Jones was wrongfully convicted of.

Russell, according to court records, was convicted of three assaults that occurred in November and December 1985. In all three, as in the crime Jones was eventually convicted of, Russell entered an automobile and held a knife to a woman’s throat.

One of the assaults, on Dec. 7, 1985, also occurred in the 900 block of Kansas Avenue.

“In sum, Russell’s crimes are linked in time, place, entry of car, use of knife, similarity of statement of whereabouts, and actual physical descriptions to the crime in this case,” stated Jones’ defense team in one of Jones’ unsuccessful appeals.

But the problem, Kenney explained, was that Russell was being represented by the same public defender’s office, and access to Russell was limited.

The defense called Russell to testify at an appeals hearing, but he denied any involvement in the crime.

One difference in the cases, however, was that in the three assaults Russell was convicted of, no sexual assault had occurred. Those victims had fought off or scared off Russell.

In 1986, Russell pleaded guilty to three other charges, and no contest to a fourth — including assault, burglary,

JOE JONES RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT WITH THE STATE after his release from prison. He bought this house in a quiet neighborhood in Topeka. But lacking any guidance on how to handle the $350,000 he got, Joe lost the house and eventually the money through a series of bad choices he said he made along the way. kidnapping and robbery. In all, Russell was sentenced to seven to 30 years in prison.

As the imprisoned Jones fought to get DNA testing to prove his innocence, Russell was released on parole in 1990.

Two years later, Russell was arrested, and later convicted of rape, sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child in Reno County.

Russell is being held at the Ellsworth Correctional Facility and is eligible for parole next June.

Al Bandy, with the Shawnee County Public Defender’s Office, who represented Russell during Russell’s 1986 case and his subsequent appeals, would not comment on Russell’s case, citing attorney-client confidentiality.

“When they see a black in a situation like this, they in a sense cut off their investigation,” he said.

Once that identification has been made, it’s difficult to turn back, Wrightsman said.

“Over and over again, she’s taken this position,” he said.

“It’s just human nature.”

DNA evidence Despite the defense team’s best efforts, appeals accusing Russell of the crimes were unsuccessful, and legal avenues for freeing Jones slipped away.

“That’s the worst nightmare of any defense attorney,” said Wurtz of his belief that Jones might die an innocent man in prison. “I never put his file away.”

Meanwhile, Jones, starting ‘There was no doubt’ his life sentence, saw a snipAt Jones’ 1986 trial, the pet in a scientific magazine defense presented an alibi about DNA evidence.

while in prison, got hooked on the drug.

Jones estimates that at one point he had a $500-a-day drug habit.

“Self-medicating for the grief and pain ... it outweighed leaving it alone,” Jones said of his drug use that spanned more than a decade.

Out of money by the late 1990s, Jones began committing a series of nonviolent drug offenses and property crimes.

And he’s been in and out of prison since.

Jones was most recently paroled in March, and he said he’s been drug-free for more than two years.

In hours of interviews with the Journal-World, Jones talked in-depth about a variety of personal topics, including contracting HIV in the early 1990s.

But there’s a window of time he doesn’t talk about.

He talks about his conviction and his release from prison.

But what about those seven years in between? He simply says it was like he was “in a war.”

“He’s not the kind of person who had an easy time in prison,” Gottlieb said. “He’s very gentle. I think that’s the thing that comes across very quickly.”

Jones’ struggles following his exoneration are not at all unusual, said Karen Wolff, a social worker with the Innocence Project.

“There are a lot of stories like that,” she said.

Wolff is one of the workers at the Innocence Project who work with recently exonerated people, helping them to adjust to life outside of prison. Back in 1992, there was no such system.

“There’s absolutely no formula for what happens to these guys when they get out,” she said.

‘Nobody ever raised the issue’ It’s unclear whether an investigation to find the real rapist was ever conducted following Jones’ exoneration. In 1992, there wasn’t a DNA database that authorities could have used. And the type of testing performed then wouldn’t have been able to conclusively identify a particular suspect, said Ed Blake, the California scientist who tested the original material and testified at Jones’ exoneration hearing.

What about testing the evidence with today’s technology?

Blake said his lab’s protocol is to return the evidence to law enforcement following testing. That material, according to Sgt. Richard Volle, head of the Topeka Police Department’s Cold Case Unit, is nowhere to be found.

“It doesn’t appear we have any evidence in the case,” said Volle, who said he hadn’t heard of Jones’ case until questioned by the JournalWorld.

But there’s a twist: Blake said his office would still have some testable evidence in its storage freezer.

“We’ve got the remnants of the fluid,” Blake said.

“There’s something that could be tested, most likely.”

The problem? No one has asked Blake’s lab for material.

“Nobody ever raised the issue,” he said.

Volle said they’d be interested in following up if the evidence exists.

“We can get the ball rolling,” he said.

The statute of limitations for prosecuting rape cases is five years in Kansas. But a Kansas law extends that time frame for one year after DNA evidence identifies a suspect, making prosecution of older cases possible.

Jones, meanwhile, said he’s working to get his life on track, attending regular meetings with a counselor.

“I’m really, really working on the ‘well’ thing right now,” Jones said. “Anything to make me feel like this didn’t happen.”

Decades after his conviction, Jones said he harbors no ill will toward the woman who picked him out as her rapist.

He and she? They’re both victims, he said.

“The woman made an honest mistake,” Jones said. “It later came to me how I could accept it. God, that must be a pretty traumatic situation.”

Will Republicans settle for Romney?

EDITORIALS

Enrollment outreach Kansas University should take note of the creative steps taken by other state universities to boost their enrollment numbers.

A

s Kansas University looks at ways to increase its enrollment, it might look at some of the creative approaches being taken by other universities in the state.

While KU recorded an enrollment decline of 3.1 percent on its Lawrence campus this fall, Kansas State University reported a 1.2 percent increase. The biggest increase among the six Kansas Board of Regents universities was 7.7 at Fort Hays State University.

How did they do it? By getting creative — in ways that benefit not only their bottom line but also the state.

This fall, Fort Hays reported the largest enrollment of its 109-year history, an increase from last fall of 919 students. The total enrollment for the school is 12,802, but only about a third of those students actually attend classes on the Fort Hays campus. A little less than a third are students at partner universities in China, a program Fort Hays started about a decade ago. Students in China take classes online or from Fort Hays faculty who travel to China on temporary teaching assignments. A program that started with 40 Chinese students in the fall of 2000 now enrolls about 3,600 students.

More than a third of the Fort Hays’ headcount comes from its Virtual College, which enrolled 4,504 students this fall, compared with 4,009 students last fall, an increase of 12.3 percent. According to a news release from the school, the Virtual College “makes a college education accessible to students who might not be able to relocate to a university community.” Courses are delivered through various formats including interactive TV, video, CD-ROM and the Internet.

Some observers may wonder how providing classes to 3,600 students in China benefits Kansas, but it has been part of a winning strategy for Fort Hays. At the same time enrollment is rising in China, it also is rising on the Hays campus and in its Virtual College program.

K-State also is reaching out across the state in ways that are likely to add to the modest enrollment increase it recorded this year. On Wednesday, K-State signed an agreement that will allow students to receive associate degrees from Garden City Community College and then use distance learning tools to earn bachelor’s degrees from Kansas State. Degree programs will be available in family studies and human services, interdisciplinary social science, fire science, business and avionics.

According to news reports, K-State plans to sign similar agreements with Butler County Community College in El Dorado, Allen County Community College in Iola and Barton County Community College in Great Bend.

With modern communications technology, geography isn’t much of a factor in these relationships. Nonetheless, it’s notable that, while El Dorado and Great Bend are closer to K-State than KU, Iola is only about 80 miles from Lawrence and 160 miles from Manhattan.

Such K-State partnerships are a real asset to the state because they extend the reach of higher education and contribute to the “seamless” higher education system envisioned by state legislators when they brought community colleges and vocational-technical schools under the Kansas Board of Regents’ umbrella.

KU is filled with wonderful tradition, but the school shouldn’t let that tradition get in the way of being creative about meeting students’ higher education needs. There certainly have been some efforts in that direction, such as classes offered online or at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park, but the trends at schools like Fort Hays and K-State suggest that KU might benefit from getting more creative in building its outreach and its enrollment.

WASHINGTON — The Republican presidential dynamic — various candidates rise and recede; Mitt Romney remains at about 25 percent support — is peculiar because conservatives correctly believe it is important to defeat Barack Obama but unimportant that Romney be president. This is not cognitive dissonance.

Obama, a floundering naif who thinks ATMs aggravate unemployment, is bewildered by a national tragedy of shattered dreams, decaying workforce skills and forgone wealth creation. Romney cannot enunciate a defensible, or even decipherable, ethanol policy.

Life poses difficult choices, but not about ethanol. Government

George Will

“

georgewill@washpost.com

A straddle is not a political philosophy; it is what you do when you do not have one.”

subsidizes ethanol production, imposes tariffs to protect manufacturers of it, mandates the use of it — and it injures the nation’s and the world’s economic, environmental and social (it raises food prices) well-being.

In May, in corn-growing Iowa, Romney said, “I support” — present tense — “the subsidy of ethanol.” And: “I believe ethanol is an important part of our energy solution for this country.” But in October he told Iowans he is “a business guy,” so as president he would review this bipartisan — the last Republican president was an ethanol enthusiast — folly. Romney said he once favored (past tense) subsidies to get the ethanol industry “on its feet.”

(In the 19th century, Republican “business guys” justified high tariffs for protecting “infant industries”). But Romney added, “I’ve indicated I didn’t think the subsidy had to go on forever.” Ethanol subsidies expire in December but “I might have looked at more of a decline over time” because of “the

importance of ethanol as a domestic fuel.” Besides, “ethanol is part of national security.” However, “I don’t want to say” I will propose new subsidies. Still, ethanol has “become an important source of amplifying our energy capacity.”

Anyway, ethanol should “continue to have prospects of growing its share of” transportation fuels.

Got it?

Every day, 10,000 baby boomers become eligible for Social Security and Medicare, from which they will receive, on average, $1 million of benefits ($550,000 from the former, $450,000 from the latter). Who expects difficult reforms from Romney, whose twists on ethanol make a policy pretzel?

A straddle is not a political philosophy; it is what you do when you do not have one. It is what Romney did when he said using TARP funds for the General Motors and Chrysler bailouts “was the wrong source for that funding.” Oh, so the source was the bailouts’ defect.

Last week in Ohio, Romney straddled the issue of the ballot initiative by which liberals and unions hope to repeal the law Republican Gov. John Kasich got enacted to limit public employees’ collective bargain-

ing rights. Kasich, like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, is under siege. Romney was asked, at a Republican phone bank rallying support for Kasich’s measure, to oppose repeal of it, and to endorse another measure exempting Ohioans from Obamacare’s insurance mandate (a cousin of Romneycare’s Massachusetts mandate). He refused.

His campaign said his refusal was principled: “Citizens of states should be able to make decisions ... on their own.” Got it?

People cannot make “their own” decisions if Romney expresses an opinion. His flinch from leadership looks ludicrous after his endorsement three months ago of a right-to-work bill New Hampshire’s Legislature was considering. So, the rule in New England expires across the Appalachian Mountains?

A day after refusing to oppose repeal of Kasich’s measure, Romney waffled about his straddle, saying he opposed repeal “110 percent.” He did not, however, endorse the anti-mandate measure, remaining semi-faithful to the trans-Appalachian codicil pertaining to principles, thereby seeming to lack the courage of his absence of convictions.

Romney, supposedly the Re-

Search policy violates rights “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated ...”

— Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Just in case you forgot.

There has been, after all, an appalling amount of forgetting where that amendment is concerned. And New York City has become the epicenter of the amnesia. Yes, the “stop and frisk” policy of questioning and searching people a cop finds suspicious is used elsewhere as well. But it is in the big, bruised apple that the issue now comes to a head.

Federal agents recently arrested a New York City cop on charges of violating the civil rights of an African-American man. Officer Michael Daragjati allegedly stopped the man in April and threw him against a parked van to search him. No drugs or weapons were found, but Daragjati reportedly became angry when the man questioned his rough treatment and requested the officer’s name and badge number. So Daragjati ran him in on a charge of resisting arrest. Later, talking on the phone to a friend, he bragged that he had “fried another nigger” and that it was “no big deal.” This was overheard by the feds, who had him under surveillance in a separate investigation.

Let no one fix his or her mouth to pronounce themselves “surprised.” Blacks and Hispanics have complained for years about the selective attention they get from police.

Giving cops the power to randomly stop and search pedestrians they find suspicious could not help but exacerbate the problem.

Last year, about 600,000 people were stopped and frisked in New York. Though blacks and Hispanics account for just over half the city’s population, they represent about 85 percent of those stopped. The Center for Constitutional Justice, a civil rights group, says drugs or weapons are turned up in less than 2 percent of those stops.

It bears repeating: less than 2 percent.

That failure rate suggests at minimum a need to change the standard by which police decide whom to stop. “Suspicion” obviously isn’t cutting it.

Daragjati’s alleged malfeasance also suggests a crying need for stricter oversight.

There has been, after all, an appalling amount of forgetting where that amendment is concerned.

And New York City has become the epicenter of the amnesia.”

The argument in defense of stop-and-frisk can be boiled down to two words: It works.

Marc Lavorgna, a spokesman for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, says crime has been driven to “historic lows” in part by this tactic.

The response to that argument also boils to two words: So what?

The crime rate has been falling for years all over the country, so it’s hard to single out what effect this particular tactic in this particular town might have had. But assume it does work. Can that truly be our standard for deciding what is acceptable?

If it is, why not allow police to search private homes without warrants? Why not ban private ownership of firearms? These things, too would work. More criminals would be arrested. Fewer people would die.

And all it would cost is a few constitutional rights.

Most of us are not black or Hispanic, most of us do not live in New York. But all of us have constitutional rights, so all of us have a stake in the drama playing out in our largest city.

The Fourth Amendment means what is happening there is wrong. Or it means nothing at all.

publican most electable next November, is a recidivist reviser of his principles who is not only becoming less electable, he might damage GOP chances of capturing the Senate: Republican successes down the ticket will depend on the energies of the tea party and other conservatives, who will be deflated by a nominee whose blurry profile in caution communicates only calculated trimming.

Republicans may have found their Michael Dukakis, a technocratic Massachusetts governor who takes his bearings from “data” (although there is precious little to support Romney’s idea that in-state college tuition for children of illegal immigrants is a powerful magnet for such immigrants) and who believes elections should be about (in Dukakis’ words) “competence,” not “ideology.” But what would President Romney competently do when not pondering ethanol subsidies that he forthrightly says should stop sometime before “forever”? Has conservatism come so far, surmounting so many obstacles, to settle, at a moment of economic crisis, for this?

OLD HOME TOWN

Developers had recently presented preliminary design plans for a proposed 360,000-square-foot mall to be built in the 600 block of YEARS downtown. The plans included space AGO for three major department stores IN 1986 as well as smaller mall shops, a food court, and 1,450 parking spaces. Dillard’s had previously given a verbal commitment to be part of the mall; the names of the other two potential department stores had not yet been revealed. The 13.5-acre area set aside for the development was bounded by Kentucky Street, Sixth Street, Seventh Street, and the alley between New Hampshire and Massachusetts streets.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 30, 1911: “A number of the city council were in Kansas City today to witness the test of the big auto fire truck YEARS AGO that has recently been purchased that city. This was decided upon IN 1911 by at the meeting of the council when the petition from the Merchants Association was received. The council is going to go to the very bottom of the matter and is finding out just what advantages the fire truck has and what it is doing. At that time a trip to Kansas City to see the test was decided upon.”

“Business was so rushing in the police circles today that it was necessary for the police judge to hold a session at 3 a.m. When Judge Benson called his court to order this morning there were nine alleged offenders to respond to the roll call.

Five of them pleaded guilty and were assessed a fine for their disobedience while the other four were taken back to the city jail to wait until their friends raised fifty dollars to get them out”

Wichita — Kansas has been one of the world’s biggest producers of helium for more than a century. But that may be ending.

The Wichita Eagle reports that a recent helium shortage has pointed up the precariousness of the world supply of helium, which is used in MRI machines, semiconductor manufacturing, and, of course, balloons.

In 1925, the federal government took over helium production in the gas fields of the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles and western Kansas.

It now supplies about 2 billion cubic feet of the gas that is 78 percent helium to private refiners along a pipeline that runs from Amarillo to Kansas. Those plants refine the crude gas to pure helium and sell it.

But the fields are close to exhaustion and are expected to last until 2020.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show It’s a Halloween tradition on par with eating too much candy or vandalizing a storefront. For decades “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has given men who otherwise wouldn’t be caught dead at a musical the excuse to wear stockings and sing along. It has empowered otherwise bookish women to wear corsets in public or dress in drag. It has given even the shyest theater kid a sense of belonging and community, if even for a few, makeup-smeared hours.

So tonight at the Granada, 1020 Mass., be part of the fun as you can expect plenty of costumes, audience participation and an all-around good time. Doors open at 11 p.m. The show costs a mere $5.

KANSAS SAFETY LUBBOCK SMITH (1) AND THE JAYHAWK DEFENSE can’t hold back Texas running back Joe Bergeron as he heads in for a touchdown. UT beat KU, 43-0, Saturday in Austin, Texas.

Jayhawks futilely founder along

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Stick together. Keep working. Move forward. For the past several weeks, those have been the words used by Kansas University football coach Turner Gill and his coaching staff to encourage a struggling football team.

Saturday night, during a 43-0 loss in front of a crowd at 99,211 at Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, the KU offense followed those words a bit too literally by dipping to a new low and playing the kind of game we’ve come to expect from KU’s defense.

“I don’t know (what to say) right now other than Texas just

whupped us,” offensive coordinator Chuck Long said. “They out-physicalled us, and this is one of the worst days I’ve had as a coach. It was a rough night, obviously. It’s hard to take it all in right now.”

The Longhorns limited the Kansas offense to embarrassingly feeble numbers in the first half, and that tone carried into the rest of the night.

In the first two quarters, Kansas gained just 10 yards, recorded one first down and ran just 13 plays. During that same time frame, Texas had 318 yards, 21 first downs and 60 plays.

By the end of the night, KU’s totals weren’t much better. The Please see KANSAS, page 4B

Another sorry trip to Austin AUSTIN, TEXAS — For the second time in three years, a Kansas University football coach sitting on the hottest seat in college football came into Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium with his reeling team.

At least Mark Mangino had just one more game after leaving Austin with a six-game losing streak. Turner Gill, in the second year of a five-year, $10 million contract, had four games remaining when he walked off the field with a sixgame losing streak Saturday, the scoreboard showing Texas 43, Kansas 0.

Both plank-walkings have had messy, sad sides to them. In the case of Mangino, who just two years earlier had coached his team to a 12-1 record and an Orange Bowl title, it was sad to see him as the object of an in-

Firebirds’ Anderson runner-up at state

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Sometimes when cross country runners finish a race, their bodies momentarily give out due to the amount of effort they have just exerted.

That last step in a 5K can be a doozy.

Saturday at Rim Rock Farm, Free State High’s Kain Anderson didn’t have that problem.

The Firebirds senior kicked it into another gear for the final stretch and came bounding across the finish line with a sizable grin that might not leave his face in the foreseeable future after taking second place at the Class 6A state meet.

“I think I could’ve kept go-

ing,” a delighted Anderson said after finishing in 15:55, 27 seconds behind state champion Jacob Morgan of Washburn Rural.

That seemingly never-ending tank of energy came in handy in the last half-mile of the course.

Free State coach Steve Heffernan saw Anderson in fifth place with about 800 meters to go and thought the Firebirds’ top runner might be able to move up to third.

“Then I saw him come across the top,” the coach said of the final stretch, “and I was really impressed.”

Throughout the race, AnderJohn Young/Journal-World Photo son said he kept telling himself: “I’m not tired, I’m not tired, just FREE STATE’S KAIN ANDERSON HEADS TO THE FINISH at the Class 6A state cross country keep going.” meet.

vestigation launched by his boss, Lew Perkins, into his treatment of players. This gave former players, in some cases looking for someone to blame for their poor college careers, a chance to come forward and damage Mangino’s chances of landing another coaching job.

The coach’s famous temper armed them with material they had held onto for years.

Turner Gill, hired to fix something that wasn’t broken

and paid like a proven big-time winner to do it, has damaged his resume by sending ill-prepared, under-motivated teams to slaughter week after week.

Most weeks, the defense and special teams, in that order, have been the chief culprits. In Saturday’s 43-0 loss to Texas, the offense was on the wrong end of domination.

Gill’s efforts to put a positive spin on the blowouts during his weekly Tuesday news conferences have had a surreal quality to them. Did he really think he was swaying opinions backed by scoreboards by reciting statistics?

Girls CC gives Seabury first title J-W Staff Reports

WAMEGO — Don’t get Christi Douglas wrong.

She’s quite excited the Class 1A state title her Seabury Academy cross country team won Saturday at the Wamego Golf Course, the first state athletic title in school history.

But she can’t help but think the future might be even brighter.

“That’s the exciting part of all of it,” Douglas said. “They’ll all be back next year.”

Most of ’em will be around the following year, too.

Paced by sophomore Kate Albrecht’s fourth-place finish, the Seahawks won state with 43 points, 13 better than runner-up Tribune Greeley.

Albrecht was fourth in the 4K race in 16:14 and was followed in the team placings by Maddie McCaffrey (10th, personal-best 16:52), Heidi Dumesich (12th, personalbest 17:11), Phoebe Grabill (33rd, 18:28), Addie Graham (39th, 18:50) and Elish Gibson (65th, 20:45).

McCaffrey is the only junior in the bunch, and Graham is a freshman. The others are sophomores.

“I think they all can improve,” Douglas said. “That’s the beauty of this sport: Everybody can improve.”

Douglas said she was most impressed by the Seahawks’ “mental toughness” on the challenging, hilly course.

Chiefs CB pals making big plays KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sometimes late at night, when Todd Haley is walking through the Kansas City Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; complex, he hears what sounds like furtive whispers behind closed doors.

It also happens on the road at the team hotel. Usually he just ignores the earnest, muted conversation and goes on his way.

But sometimes he invites himself in and takes part in the two-man team meeting that starting cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Brandon Flowers so often hold with each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can be walking through this building at odd times and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have found some little area,â&#x20AC;? Haley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in there. You hear soft whispers. It can be at the hotel, or here, in their room. It can be upstairs.â&#x20AC;?

Rookies together in 2008, the two friends have been putting their heads together and studying film, going over different nuances and tendencies of the upcoming opponent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; working as hard as they can to be as good as they can.

When the two cornerbacks get together, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to tell jokes or relax at the end of a long day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football talk on the most sophisticated level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spend a lot of time together,â&#x20AC;? Flowers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started doing it our rookie year.â&#x20AC;?

A close friendship took root almost immediately when the two arrived in 2008. Flowers, a second-round pick from Virginia Tech, and Carr, a fifth-rounder from Grand Valley State, were both very young and, though they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to admit it, somewhat intimidated by the NFL. Giving them even more in common, both were thrown into the starting lineup, asked to battle experienced receivers and savvy

KANSAS CITY CORNERBACKS BRANDON FLOWERS (24) AND BRANDON CARR (39) TACKLE Oakland wide receiver Chaz Schilens (81) on Jan. 2, 2011. Flowers and Carr are close friends whose connection is an important part of the Kansas City defense. quarterbacks probably before they were ready. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be the weak part of the defense,â&#x20AC;? Flowers said.

The Brandons needed each other, and still do. The two are so close they even purchased homes that are practically next door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those guys are like brothers.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re connected at the hip.

They do everything together,â&#x20AC;? quarterback Matt Cassel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly watching film, even the night before a game.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see.â&#x20AC;?

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also a big reason the Chiefs have recovered from three season-opening losses to win three in a row. Their game against San Diego on Monday night will be for a share of first place in the AFC West, something that seemed impossible just three weeks ago for the defending division champions.

The Chargers (4-2) will be fac-

ing a defense that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been scored on in six straight quarters, something no Chiefs team had done since the 2003 team went 13-3 and won the AFC West. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played against each other plenty of times and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good corners,â&#x20AC;? Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re complete players. They press.

They can play off. They can play the ball. There are certain corners you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about catching it or doing things. These guys do it all. Those two corners are a lot of the reason theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten three in a row and are rolling pretty good.â&#x20AC;?

Statistically, even during their season-salvaging three-game winning streak, the Kansas City defense has not piled up a lot of impressive statistics.

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true they intercepted six passes last week in a 28-0 victory at Oakland, the Raiders actually outgained the Chiefs 322-300.

The week before, Indianapolis had 355 yards. The week before that, Minnesota had 341 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The six picks happened because everybody was doing their job,â&#x20AC;? Haley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing some positive results because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing together. I think our defensive players and our entire team, we all have a much clearer vision of what we are and what we have to be to be successful on a consistent basis.â&#x20AC;?

Flowers had two interceptions, returning one 58 yards for a touchdown, and was selected the AFC defensive player of the week. Carr added an interception.

It was one of his late-night sessions with his buddy that gets credit for the pick six. He and Carr had taken particular notice of a formation the Raiders like to use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was looking just for that quick game read from the quarterback. I saw it,â&#x20AC;? Flowers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quick three-step drop by the quarterback. Three quick steps means the ball has to come out quick. I just knew what route he does off that drop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When hard work pays off, it is satisfying. I feel the NFL game is 80 percent mental, 20 percent physical.â&#x20AC;?

Carr has no doubt the 1-on-1 sessions with his pal have made him a much better player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can kind of pick his brain and use that on the field and he can do the same with me,â&#x20AC;? Carr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see things differently. But together we can make it into a game plan for each other.â&#x20AC;?

Their consultation never ends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We challenge each other,â&#x20AC;?

Flowers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He stays right around the corner from me, so he comes to my house and I go to his house.â&#x20AC;?

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anyone who has been to a car dealership, or bought a home, understands how negotiating works.

One side offers a number, the other counters, and they meet somewhere in the middle and make a deal.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working in the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor standoff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even with potentially $2 billion at stake for each side.

Owners and players keep insisting they are ready and willing to make the necessary financial step for an agreement. Yet talks have broken down each of the last two weeks with little movement and the same type of answer: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that.â&#x20AC;?

That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get players back on the court or fans in the seats.

And with both sides so entrenched, it might be a question of when, not if, another round of cancellations will be necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? Commissioner David Stern said Friday when asked about the next deadline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just had a difficult day. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go back, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go to the office Monday and see what to do about this big mess.â&#x20AC;?

They could start with a phone call to the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association to schedule more talks, and the sides likely will meet again soon. But it will remain pointless if neither side is prepared to offer compromise.

Owners are insistent on a 50-50 split of basketball-related income. Players have proposed reducing their guarantee from 57 percent down to 52.5, saying that will transfer more than $1.5 billion to owners over six years.

And when neither side would go further Friday, NBA officials said union executive director Billy Hunter ended the session.

The difference between 50 and 52.5 percent is about $100 million annually, based on last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenues, or $1 billion over the course of the 10-year agreement the NBA is seeking.

The cost of not making a deal? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect there to be a $2 billion loss for us for the loss of the season, which we will then begin to dig out from under and try to get back, if there were a seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss,â&#x20AC;? Stern said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the players would lose $2 billion. Period.â&#x20AC;?

The losses already have been piling up.

Stern said wiping out the preseason schedule, which would have ended Friday, cost the league $200 million. The first month of real games adds another couple hundred million, and Hunter has said missing a month would cost the players about $350 million.

Griner, Lady Bears start season ranked No. 1 Brittney Griner and Baylor are starting the season where they hope to end it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at No. 1.

The Lady Bears are ranked at the top for the first time in the preseason womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball poll by the Associated Press. Baylor started last year at No. 2 before ascending to No. 1 in early January for the first time in school history. The Lady Bears finished with a No. 3 ranking.

Baylor received 33 of 40 first-place votes Saturday from a national media panel. The Lady Bears became the first Big 12 school to be ranked No. 1 to start the season since Texas in 1985 and 1986.

Notre Dame drew six first-place votes and was Griner second, with Tennessee, Connecticut and Stanford rounding out the first five. The No. 2 ranking is the Irishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best since the final poll of 2001 when they also were ranked second.

The Lady Bears could meet the Irish in the Preseason WNIT final in mid-November. They also play the Lady Vols and Huskies before the New Year. With the 6-foot-8 Griner, coach Kim Mulkey is ready.

Notre Dame returns four starters, including sensational guard Skylar Diggins, from last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad that lost to Texas A&M in the national championship game.

Tennessee retains most of the team that swept the SEC last season for the conference title. The Lady Vols fell to Notre Dame in the NCAA regional finals last season, missing a Final Four trip for the third year in a row.

UConn has dominated the poll the last few years, holding the No. 1 ranking for a record 51 consecutive weeks. It returns four starters from last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final Four squad and has an especially talented freshman class.

Texas A&M is sixth, receiving the other first place vote.

Miami, which was picked to win the Atlantic Coast Conference for the first time, was seventh. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best ranking for the Hurricanes since they finished the 1992 poll at No. 6.

Duke, Louisville, and Georgetown round out the first 10. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the highest ranking ever for the Hoyas.

Maryland was 11th, followed by Penn State, Georgia, Florida State and Oklahoma.

Rutgers was 16th followed by Purdue, Kentucky, DePaul and North Carolina.

LSU, UCLA, Southern California, Texas, and St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s round out the poll.

The Big East has seven teams in the Top 25 with the ACC next at five. The SEC and Big 12 have four, the Pac-12 three and Big Ten two.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time there was no team outside the BCS conferences in the Top 25.

Rain washes out qualifying MARTINSVILLE, VA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roush Fenway Racing teammates Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for a better scenario than rain washing out qualifying for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Martinsville Speedway.

Edwards had never qualified better than seventh on the 0.526-mile oval, and Kenseth had never qualified better than 14th. Then came the rain, handing them the front-row spots Saturday.

Edwards says qualifying is one of the most critical things at Martinsville because it allowed his team to pick the best pit stall for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. He will begin the event with a 14-point lead over Kenseth, 18 over Brad Keselowski and 19 over Tony Stewart with four races left.

The teams had their lone practice Saturday.

Edwards didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fare so well there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he was 29th fastest.

Garcia takes lead at Andalucia SOTOGRANDE, SPAIN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sergio Garcia put himself in position for a second straight European Tour victory on Saturday, shooting a 4-under 67 at the Andalucia Masters to take a two-stroke lead after the third round.

Garcia had to remove his shoes and socks for a shot during an eventful round that moved him to 6 under 207, ahead of Miguel Angel Jimenez (68) and Swedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christian Nilsson, who matched the lowest round this weekend with a 65.

Overnight leader Richie Ramsay of Scotland bogeyed the last two holes for a 73 that left him three strokes adrift.

Garcia will qualify for next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WGCHSBC Champions in Shanghai with a victory.

Defending champion Graeme McDowell was at 14 over after a round of 81.

The United States has not won Pan American gold since 1983.

Mexico is headed in the other direction. The Mexicans last won a medal in 1991 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a silver â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and are now guaranteed of at least second place.

Leo Lyons scored 13 to lead the United States, which is using players from the NBA Development League.

FORMER NBA COACH JEFF VAN GUNDY SPEAKS TO COACHES at the Bill Self coaches clinic at Allen Fieldhouse. One of the thoughts Van Gundy shared Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse was, “Before you win, you must know how to lose.”

Ex-coach gives Self a little love, too

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Jeff Van Gundy has made a vow that his first trip to Allen Fieldhouse will not be his last.

“I have to get back here for a game. I can’t die without seeing a game here,” the 49-year-old NBA television analyst and former head coach of the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets said before speaking to several hundred coaches at Saturday’s Bill Self coaches clinic in Kansas University’s tradition-rich building.

“It’s been really an eyeopening experience,” added Van Gundy. “To see the (Booth) Hall of Fame, the practice facility, the great offices ... they didn’t need to sacrifice tradition for newness. They haven’t messed with the arena, and it’s awesome.”

Van Gundy took notes during KU’s weekend practices and during speeches of Hall of Famer Larry Brown and KU coach Self.

“I was saying to Joe (Dooley, KU assistant) earlier, knowing him (Self) somewhat, but seeing the team practice, it’s a program based on humility,” Van Gundy said. “I mean the guy (Self) ...

he could stop tomorrow, and he’d be in the Hall of Fame, yet he never conducts himself as such that he is any better than anybody else. I think his team reflects that in that they play hard, smart, together but with great humbleness.”

Though mostly known for his work in the NBA, Van Gundy served as assistant coach at both Providence and Rutgers.

Could he see himself as a college coach?

“You know, I think I could,” Van Gundy said. “I watched Bill’s practice, and I’m like, ‘Wow, that would be fun.’ I think the recruiting part would not be as enjoyable, but the actual coaching would be fantastic.”

He’s been in broadcasting full time since leaving the Rockets in May of 2007.

“I like the guys I work with because I’ve known them forever, so that part is really good,” Van Gundy said of ESPN/ABC broadcast partners Mike Breen and Mark Jackson. “Mike was an announcer with the Knicks, and Mark I coached a number of times as an assistant and head coach. I’m very fortunate in who I’ve worked with.

“The announcing affords

you a certain ability to be at home with your kids more,” Van Gundy added. “You get to see more of their events, but nothing replaces the competition and camaraderie you get from coaching.”

When will the 1985 Nazareth (NY) College graduate be back on the bench?

“My dad (Bill former head coach at Brockport State in western New York) gave me a great piece of advice long, long ago: ‘Just worry about the job you’ve got right now,’” Van Gundy said. “That’s served me well. When you come to watch great practices and great coaches work, it gets you excited all over again to coach.”

He offered some advice to the high school, small college and junior college coaches who attended Self’s clinic.

“Back when I worked for Pat Riley and never thought of myself of being able to ascend to being a head coach in the NBA, he said, ‘Coaching confidence is every bit as important as playing confidence,’’’ Van Gundy said.

“The way you develop that is to be competent in what you do, sincere, reliable and trustworthy. I think that also has served me well, to believe in myself more, especially when I was younger.”

setting a career-best 6K time of 19:52.3, her seventh-place finish was the highest a KU women has ever finished at the Big 12 meet, topping Laura Lavoie’s eighth in 2002.

For the second time this season, Bussing was the men’s top finisher, placing 22nd with a personal best 8K time of 24:22.5. The Houston native’s finish marked a 26-place improvement from his finish in last year’s meet and is the seventh top-25 finish of his career.

KU swimming upends Illini Kansas University’s swimming and diving team won its

second-straight meet, a 174.5118.5 victory over Illinois on Saturday at Robinson Natatorium.

Junior transfer Vanessa Hanbury and sophomore Alison Lusk set the pace for the Jayhawks, winning four events while netting 18 points apiece. Hanbury won the 50 free (24.19) and the 100 free (52.33), while Lusk won the 100 breaststroke (106.36) and the 200 breast (2:22.62).

“We swam really well and had some athletes step it up,” KU coach Clark Campbell said.

“Rebecca Swank was exceptional, Morgan Sharp had a very good 200 free, and Malia Johnson had an outstanding 500 free, not to mention Alison Lusk had two very solid races.”

TEXAS 43, KANSAS 0

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Starters return to preserve UT shutout

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Without asking anyone, Texas linebacker Emmanuel Acho ran back onto the field. Immediately, linebacker Keenan Robinson followed him.

On Kansas’ final possession of Texas’ 43-0 victory Saturday night, the two starters wanted to make sure their shutout stood.

Even though they’d been benched earlier in favor of the second-teamers, the se-

niors put themselves back in while also taking their replacements out.

Two plays later, starting defensive backs Leroy Scott, Blake Gideon and Kenny Vaccaro also made their way onto the field for a crucial thirddown play, helping secure UT’s first shutout since 2005 when it defeated Baylor, 62-0.

“We all kind of looked at each other and said, ‘Let’s go.

Let’s go play ball. Let’s go get the shutout,’” Gideon said.

“We did, and it worked out for us.”

Texas coach Mack Brown said afterward he didn’t OK the move. But he didn’t stop it, either.

“I wasn’t real happy with it, but to their credit, at halftime, it was huge for them to get a shutout,” Brown said. “It’s hard to get a shutout in college football anywhere, but it’s really hard in the Big 12, as many points are scored.”

The last time the Longhorns shut out an opponent at home was 2004, when they defeated North Texas, 65-0.

“I told them, ‘If you’d

have gone out there and gotten hurt and hadn’t stopped them, we would have had a discussion,’” Brown said.

“But it was OK. I was happy for them. They were really proud of themselves tonight.”

Texas came close to setting a new defensive record.

The 46 yards of offense allowed was the second-lowest by a Texas opponent since 1944. The Longhorns held Southwestern to 37 yards in 1944 — some 67 years ago.

The negative-two yards allowed rushing also was the

20th-best effort in Texas history since ’44.

“We were talking to some of the older guys, and they were saying that they’ve never done anything like this,” Texas sophomore defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat said. “It’s special, and we can build from it.”

It was Texas’ first home Big 12 win since Nov. 21, 2009, when the Longhorns also beat the Jayhawks, 51-20.

Texas was so dominant in the first half that it had 60 plays compared to KU’s 13.

“We were actually wor-

ried about substituting our offense because they were so tired,” Brown said.

Texas held Iowa State without a point through three quarters on Oct. 1 before allowing 14 points in the fourth quarter of a 37-14 victory.

“There’s a very small percent chance that you’re going to actually hold a team to no points, no field goals or anything,” Gideon said. “That was huge for us, especially there at the end with a few of us kind of putting ourselves back in the game to get that stop.”

NOTEBOOK

Terry steps up for KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Red-shirt freshman Keeston Terry, a safety who has struggled to overcome injuries throughout 2011, finished Saturday’s 43-0 loss to Texas with 15 tackles and delivered what many believed was his best performance of the season.

“I thought he tackled well tonight, and I thought he showed some toughness,” KU defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said. “I definitely think there are some areas he’s improved.”

But it wasn’t just the six solo tackles and nine assists that made Terry stand out. It was his resolve.

“He got a little bit dinged there,” Shealy said. “But to the kid’s credit, if he was looking for a way out, he could’ve (checked out there), but he came back in a series or two later and, to me, he wanted to play tonight. For a young kid to not do that, that’s improvement in itself.”

KU senior Steven Johnson led the Jayhawks with 18 tackles. It marked a careerhigh for Johnson and was the most by a Jayhawk since 2005.

Linebacker Isaac Wright, who played more tonight than he had all season, finished with a career-high 12 tackles. Fellow junior Tunde Bakare also recorded a career-high 11 tackles.

Jayhawks say they haven’t quit Despite becoming used to being on the wrong end of such lopsided blowouts, the KU coaching staff doesn’t believe its players have quit.

“I’m not ready to say our kids didn’t battle,” Shealy said. “I think they did do that. Maybe we didn’t make enough plays, at times, to limit the number of points on the board. They’re disappointed, but they have not given in.”

Junior safety Bradley McDougald credits the coaches for that.

“They’re doing a great job of keeping us together,” he said. “I know guys on the offensive side and defensive side are just going to try to keep getting better. That’s the only thing we can do.

We’re having a bad stretch, but teams do, universities do, we just have to work through it.”

This and that...

For the second week in a row, the Jayhawks won Saturday’s opening coin toss.

However, for the first time all season, KU deferred its choice to the second half instead of electing to receive the opening kick. ... Red-shirt freshman tight end Trent Smiley recorded the first reception of his career in the fourth quarter. ... Junior linebacker/defensive end Toben Opurum’s sack in the third quarter was his third of the season. ... Junior cornerback Greg Brown’s interception in the end zone in the second quarter was his first of the season and the second of his career. ... Sophomore defensive tackle Shane Smith made the first start of his career.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

46 yards of offense were the lowest since KU gained 44 yards in a loss to Nebraska in 1997. It marked the school’s second lowest total since 1968.

KU’s three first downs on Saturday also set a mark for futility, surpassing the previous low of four. That, too, came in a loss to Nebraska, this time in 1972.

The shutout — which came in large part because UT ran 96 plays and had the ball for 44:07, compared to 36 plays and 15:53 for KU — was the first suffered by Kansas since falling, 64-0, to Kansas State in 2002.

Wait. It gets worse.

The Jayhawks ran the ball 20 times against Texas on Saturday. Those 20 rushes yielded minus-2 yards, marking the first time a KU team finished a game with negative rushing yardage since 1997.

Had it not been for a 13yard pass from quarterback Jordan Webb to wide receiver Christian Matthews with fewer than five minutes to play in the game, KU would’ve played all four quarters without crossing midfield. As it was, the Jayhawks did not move beyond UT’s 40-yard line all night.

“It was definitely difficult to find a rhythm,” Webb said.

loudly in clichés and lacking insight or specific adjustments. The alarming lack of specificity raises the question of whether his words arm the players with anything they can take back onto the field.

The players have responded to the macro-and-cheese talks by getting outscored 87-7 in the third quarter in the past six games.

On Saturday, the third was KU’s best quarter, with Texas winning it 7-0. Long before that, the Longhorns’ dominance had sealed the outcome.

The beatings at the hands of Texas are an annual affair

KANSAS COACH TURNER GILL LEAVES THE FIELD following the Jayhawks’ loss to UT. “Nothing we were doing was working. We just, all-around, didn’t play a good game. Myself included. We’ve been answering the bell throughout the season pretty well, but we just couldn’t get going tonight.”

Even when the Jayhawks were able to record big gains, bad things happened.

Brandon Bourbon’s 20-yard reception on the first play of the fourth quarter ended with a fumble. Tony Pierson’s back-to-back plays for 15 yards, early in the third, were followed by a run for negative yardage and a UT sack.

“I’m not gonna say we were gonna go up and down the field on them,” Gill said.

“But I expected us to move the ball somewhat.”

While KU was struggling in every phase — the defense finished 10 yards shy of giv-

ing up 600 yards of total offense for the third time this season — the Longhorns were rolling. Coming off of back-to-back losses to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, as well as their bye week, UT used the game against Kansas as its opportunity to get well.

The Longhorns led 26-0 at halftime and had two running backs — Joe Bergeron and Malcolm Brown — finish with more than 100 yards rushing. Each added two touchdowns, the first of which came at 10:06 in the first quarter and proved to be the game-winner.

Of the incredible performance by UT’s offense, which ran for 441 yards, Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz marveled: “We just watched the game as fans for 40 minutes.”

KU fell to 2-6 overall, 0-5 in

now. The Big 12’s contraction to 10 teams meant KU had to play six games, not three, against South schools, poor timing for Gill in his effort to inspire a young team to hang with faster, bigger, more experienced athletes.

He’s not whining about it, and, of course, said he believes Kansas can recruit enough talent to hang with Big 12 powerhouses armed with geographic advantages.

“I feel confident about it,” he said after Saturday’s game. “(When) I came here to accept the job, it was 12 teams, but that didn’t really matter. I felt we as a staff could come out and compete well even this year and in upcoming years. We just want to continue to compete and get better. I know it’s going to take a little time.”

KU, of course, hasn’t been competitive yet under Gill (5-15 overall, 1-12 in the Big 12, 1-1 vs. FCS schools).

All 14 of his losses to FBS foes have been by double digits, with an average margin of defeat of 32 points.

Saturday’s was the fifth by 42 points or greater. The beatings apparently haven’t changed Gill’s long-term expectations.

“I feel very confident that we can go out and get some people and continue to improve this football program to eventually win championships,” Gill said.

Barring a miraculous finish to his second season, he’ll never get the chance.

KU paid Mangino $3 million to go away. Gill has $6 million coming after Dec. 31 of this year, and his assis-

the Big 12, and sent the team’s tail spinning even faster.

“You get tired of losing.

You get tired of saying it all,” junior safety Bradley McDougald said. “But it happened, so you just have to deal with it and keep going out there and giving it your all. If we fold, things can only get worse.”

Added Long: “This team is frustrated. We’re all frustrated at this point. We’re fighting and scratching to find a win. It gets frustrating for young guys to go through something like this, and we feel for them. I’m hoping that it’s just more of a hiccup than something that’s a pattern.”

Like they’ve become accustomed to, the Jayhawks left Austin with their heads hung low and the same message coming from their mouths.

“Their guys were better than our guys,” Gill said. “That’s the only way to put it. We’ve just gotta keep working, and our coaches need to get better, and we gotta continue to get better for next week.”

With next Saturday’s contest at Iowa State being the first game in November, several Jayhawks are looking forward to flipping to the next page in their calendars.

“We knew going into the season that October was going to be rough,” said Long, whose team was 0-5 this month and was outscored 267-100. “It was going to be a tough month for us and our football program. And it ended in an exclamation point tonight.”

tants, signed through June 2013, are guaranteed $2.8 million combined.

Those bleak numbers in the ledgers and the various record-breaking figures that scream failure week after week have spawned a guessing game that those who care about KU football find far more compelling than the games: What hero or heroes will step up and finance the buyout of the football coach and the portion of his staff that his successor doesn’t want to keep?

Another question of interest to KU football fans: Would available former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach prefer to work at Arizona or Kansas?

How They Scored First Quarter 10:06 — Malcolm Brown 6 run. Justin Tucker kick. The Longhorns took the opening kickoff and marched 65 yards in 11 plays and 4:54. KU appeared to force UT into a field-goal situation, but Anthony Davis’ pass-interference penalty kept the drive alive, and Brown scored on the next play. (UT 7, KU 0).

1:38 — David Ash 6 run. Tucker kick. UT’s second scoring drive of double-digit plays took 6:20 and spanned 90 yards in 13 plays.

UT quarterback David Ash coverted two third downs, one on a screen pass to Fozzy Whittaker and the other on the TD run. (UT 14, KU 0).

Second Quarter 11:31 — Texas safety. An illegal-handsto-the-face penalty in the end zone, called on KU center Jeremiah Hatch, resulted in a safety for the Longhorns. The score came two plays after the Jayhawks stuffed the Longhorns on a fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line on the previous drive. (UT 16, KU 0).

2:22 — Brown 1 run. Tucker kick. UT’s third scoring drive of the night fell one play shy of being a third double-digit play effort.

The Longhorns marched 56 yards in nine plays and 3:49. The drive was kept alive by an unnecessary-roughness penalty on Keeston Terry, who hit Jaxon Shipley on a third down but was flagged for hitting a defenseless receiver. (UT 23, KU 0).

0:00 — Justin Tucker 52 field goal. The Longhorns’ final scoring drive in the first half was set up by an interception from Quandre Diggs at the KU 38-yard line. UT drove three yards in seven plays in 1:44 to set up Tucker’s career-best kick. (UT 26, KU 0).

Third Quarter 3:13 — Joe Bergeron 4 run. Tucker kick.

Four straight plays of 10 or more yards led to Bergeron’s TD run, and one, a 27-yard pass from Ash to Marquise Goodwin, was completed with no KU defenders near him.

The drive covered 75 yards, seven plays and 3:20. (UT 33, KU 0).

Fourth Quarter 9:10 — Tucker 31 field goal. After it recovered a Brandon Bourbon fumble inside Kansas territory, Texas drove 32 yards in nine plays and 5:40 to add to its lead. (UT 36, KU 0).

6:02 — Bergeron 35 run. Tucker kick. The Longhorns drove 56 yards in four plays and 1:30, and Bergeron went over the 100-yard mark on the drive. (UT 43, KU 0).

Robinson 7th; FSHS girls 9th ————

Firebirds ‘left it all out there’ in final meet

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Sometimes, even a happy ending can be difficult.

The finality of a high school cross country career hit Free State senior Lynn Robinson pretty hard Saturday at Rim Rock Farm.

As teammates and opponents alike shared congratulations and posed for photos nearby, Robinson just needed some time to herself for reflection.

She sat alone, off to the side, for a few minutes.

Though she had just finished seventh at the Class 6A state meet, she didn’t exactly feel like throwing a party.

Eventually, she re-joined her FSHS teammates, who teamed with Robinson for a ninth-place finish in the team standings. The senior said she had to isolate herself to soak it all in.

“I just really wanted to think about how I raced,” Robinson said after running the 4K in 15:28. “I felt like I raced as hard as I could,

which was all I could really do. I was kind of disappointed in my place... but the girls left it all out there and that was our goal.”

Finishing ninth out of 12 teams might not sound fantastic, but Free State coach Steve Heffernan said Robinson, Molly McCord (47th), Rosemary Newsome (50th), Bailey Sullivan (59th), Lauren Wethington (70th), Ruthie Ozonoff (85th) and Olivia Loney (87th) helped FSHS improve upon recent showings.

“We were actually faster than we were two weeks ago at league,” the coach pointed out.

The Firebirds, Heffernan added, also were closer to Sunflower League foe Olathe East, which finished third at state, behind runner-up Shawnee Mission West and champion SM Northwest.

“There just happened to be a chunk of teams right in between us,” he said of the gap between Free State and ONHS. “We competed well at a state championship, and that’s all you can ask for.”

Lawrence High wasn’t in the

running for team points, with just Grace Morgan and Michala Ruder competing at state.

Morgan, a junior, said running with just one other teammate was different.

“It’s usually like a team sport and then all of a sudden half your team’s not there,” she said.

Despite the change, Morgan shaved 15 seconds off her 2010 state time and placed 36th.

Ruder, a senior, finished 62nd.

Not surprisingly, Morgan said the state championship was more fast-paced than a typical meet.

“It’s a lot more intense than usual,” she said. “There’s just a lot more people that are being aggressive.

“It’s a different race. I had to step it up.”

That’s the nature of the beast at state. Robinson said she actually prefers that, though. She was part of a pack of runners vying for top10 spots once champion Alli Cash, Shawnee Mission West, runner-up Alaina Schroeder, Manhattan, and third-place finisher Amber Eichkorn,

Wichita North, separated themselves from the herd.

In such a competitive situation, Robinson said, she actually felt like she and the runners around her were teammates gunning for the same goal.

“I think it’s easier, because we can all run together in a group,” she said. “And I like that a lot better than trying to run a race by myself.”

On that note, Robinson also John Young/Journal-World Photo was pleased to share the state stage with McCord, New- FREE STATE HIGH’S LYNN ROBINSON RUNS to a seventhsome, Sullivan, Wethington, place finish at the Class 6A state cross country meet on Ozonoff and Loney after be- Saturday at Rim Rock Farm. ing Free State’s only representative in 2010, when she was 14th at state.

“I hated it. I hated it so much,” Robinson said of running alone. “I was so happy that the whole team qualified this year. It makes it so much more fun.”

It gave her some incentive, too.

“The goal was for our team to compete well, so really I just wanted to place as high as I could so our team could do that,” Robinson said.

That’s why he didn’t let up one bit near the finish line. Anderson was in third, behind Bryant Keirns, Haysville-Campus, as the course neared the finish line.

His positive inner monologue kept up: “I see him. I can get him.”

Anderson overtook Keirns and beat him by just more than a second to finish as the No. 2 runner in 6A. “Second place, it’s very sweet,” he said.

Anderson felt even better when he made his way out of the chute behind the finish line and was mobbed by fer-

vent family members, friends and teammates. Anderson joked he set a new personal record for hugs in the minutes that followed and said he was happy to have so many family members waiting for him at the finish line. He called them his support system.

“That, too, kept a huge smile on my face,” Anderson said.

The runner’s coach said the senior was more focused than usual for the state meet after they had spent the days leading up to it talking about doing something “worthwhile” and not being afraid of falling short.

“He finally put together all the pieces that I think most of us had seen,” Heffernan said.

Anderson was so ecstatic he didn’t even know what his

time was just after the race.

But he knew he had done something personally unique.

“That’s the first time I’ve really gone for it the whole time,” he said.

Anderson was one of just three city runners competing Saturday morning in the 6A boys race. His teammate Kamp Wiebe, also a senior, finished 21st, just three seconds in front of the solitary Lawrence High representative, junior Gavin Fischer.

The two runners from rival schools were close to one another throughout the race. When Fischer strained to stay upright after crossing the finish line, Wiebe was right there to support him as the two exited the area behind the finish line.

Fischer called Wiebe a

“great guy” who pushes him all the time during cross country competitions and said they don’t view each other as rivals.

“Out here we’re both individuals,” Fischer said. “We’re both friends.”

What led to the painful finish, the LHS junior said, was his getting too worked up during the ultra-competitive race.

“I had trouble staying relaxed,” Fischer said.

He started hurting the most, he added, in the last push of the final mile.

“It’s pretty painful,” Fischer said. “You’ve just got to be mentally tough.”

Neither LHS nor FSHS had a full team at state. Shawnee Mission South won the 6A team title.

MANHATTAN (AP) — Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles put Oklahoma’s season back on track.

Now, Kansas State will see if it can bounce back from its own loss.

Jones threw for a schoolrecord 505 yards and five touchdowns Saturday, his All-American wide receiver caught 14 passes for 171 yards and a score, and the 11th-ranked Sooners took out some pent up frustration with a 58-17 thumping of the No. 10 Wildcats.

Their national championship hopes dashed by Texas Tech last week — along with their 39-game home winning streak — the Sooners (7-1, 4-1) spoiled the same hopes harbored by Kansas State.

Jones shattered the previous school record for yards passing of 468, which he had shared with Sam Bradford, and moved into first place on the Oklahoma career list with 90 touchdown passes.

“We just came out with a focus,” he said with a shrug.

“Kept playing ball.”

Just about the only downer on an otherwise splendid Saturday afternoon was a season-ending injury to leading rusher Dominique Whaley, who fracture his left ankle on the first play of the game.

Whaley will have surgery Sunday to have a pin inserted.

“Really sad for Dom,” coach Bob Stoops said.

“What a great young man.

We’ll miss him.”

Perhaps so, but the offense looked just fine without him.

Broyles moved into first place on the Big 12’s career list with 4,499 yards receiv-

ing, Kenny Stills added four catches for 101 yards, and Roy Finch finished with 73 yards rushing and another 69 through the air for the Sooners’ potent, fast-paced attack.

They wound up with a season-high 690 yards against the Big 12’s top defense.

“Oklahoma’s a lot better than some people would want to think, probably, and I did a really miserable job of getting our football team ready to play,” Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said.

Relying on a smoke-andmirrors offense that had been consistently out-gained all season, Kansas State (7-1, 4-1) still managed to piece together its best start since 1999.

It all came undone against Oklahoma.

Collin Klein was sacked seven times, the Wildcats were penalized an uncharacteristic five times, normally reliable kicker Anthony Cantele missed a chip-shot field goal and a defense that had been assignment sound all year crumbled against the Sooners’ relentless onslaught.

Kansas State actually led 17-14 midway through the second quarter, but the Sooners scored late in the half, and recovered a fumble with 19 seconds left to set up a 53-yard field goal for a 23-17 halftime advantage.

It was the start of 44 straight points scored by OU.

Iowa State stuns Tech, 41-7 LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) — Redshirt freshman Jared Barnett threw for a touchdown and ran for another, and Iowa State shocked No. 19 Texas Tech 41-7 on Saturday night, a week after the Red Raiders won at Oklahoma.

Making his first start, Barnett’s mobility caused the Red Raiders defense fits. He rushed for 92 yards on 19 carries and completed 14 of 26 passes for 144 yards. His touchdowns were career firsts.

It was the largest margin of victory over a ranked team for Iowa State since the Cyclones beat No. 20 Nebraska in Ames by 22 points (36-14) in 2002.

Seth Doege completed 16 of 32 passes for a season-low 171 yards for the Red Raiders (5-3, 2-3). He threw two interceptions, lost a fumble and scored the Red Raiders lone score on an 8-yard touchdown run. Texas Tech had a streak of 69 games, dating back to a 12-3 loss to TCU in 2006, with a touchdown pass snapped.

Duran Hollis broke free for a 71-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter and Iowa State (1-4, 4-4) rolled up 368 rushing yards against Texas Tech’s 105th-ranked rushing defense. The Red Raiders were giving up an average of 205 per game coming into the contest.

For the Red Raiders the game was a surprising letdown after snapping Oklahoma’s 39-game home winning streak.

For the Cyclones, it was the first game with at least 300 yards rushing since 2001 when the Cyclones beat Kansas 49-7 James White (1 yard) and Jeff Woody (3 yards) each scored rushing touchdowns.

It was the second win over a ranked team in as many seasons. The Cyclones beat No.

IOWA STATE’S JARED BARNETT, LEFT, SCORES A TOUCHDOWN past Texas Tech’s Terrance Bullitt (1) and D.J. Johnson on Saturday in Lubbock, Texas.

22 Texas 28-21 last season. Before that win it’d been about 20 years since ISU topped a ranked team on the road.

It was also the second straight win over Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville for Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads, who was Tuberville’s defensive coordinator at Auburn in 2008. The Cyclones beat the Red Raiders 52-38 last year in Ames.

The Cyclones kept the ball away from the Red Raiders’ offense by keeping it on the ground.

In a drive that spanned the third and fourth quarter the Cyclones held the ball for 16 plays that gobbled 8:40 off the clock.

Iowa State stayed on the ground to start the second half and on the third play, Duran Hollis, a redshirt freshman who had just 11 yards coming into the game, took a hand off from Barnett

and broke through the line to go 71 yards and put the Cyclones up 31-7.

He got free when Red Raiders tackle Kerry Hyder took a wide step and Cqulin Hubert got blocked.

The Cyclones ran the ball well in the first half, keeping the Red Raiders off the field.

But even when Texas Tech had the ball it couldn’t sustain drives.

The Red Raiders had a shot to score on the first drive of the second quarter but failed to convert a fourth-and-1 from the 2. Aaron Crawford was stopped for no gain and Iowa State took over.

Doege got the Red Raiders lone touchdown midway through the second quarter when he faked a hand off and scooted to the near side from the 8-yard line. At the 3, Doege leaped into the end zone over safety Durrell Givens to whittle the deficit to 21-7.

No. 3 Oklahoma State can also play defense, Baylor discovers STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — When it mattered the most, No. 3 Oklahoma State made every yard seem like the longest yard for Robert Griffin III and Baylor.

Joseph Randle set careerhighs by running for 152 yards and four touchdowns, Justin Blackmon matched his career best with 13 catches for 172 yards and two scores and the Cowboys carried a shutout into the fourth quarter of a 59-24 win over the Bears on Saturday.

Brodrick Brown recovered two fumbles, and Daytawion Lowe and Justin Gilbert had

interceptions as the Cowboys (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) forced five turnovers and stopped the Bears twice on fourth-and-1.

“I think at that point, you just have to dig deep and just find something inside of you to not let them in the end zone,” safety Markelle Martin said. “Let’s not make it easy on them.”

Far from it.

The Cowboys ran out to a 35-0 halftime advantage that was hardly indicative of how competitive the game was, but Baylor came up with absolutely nothing out of a series of promising drives.

The Bears (4-3, 1-3) were stuffed on fourth-and-1 twice, including on the goal line on their opening drive, and Gilbert picked off one of Griffin’s passes in the end zone on third-and-goal from the 5.

Aaron Jones also continued his struggles, missing a 48yard field goal.

The Bears got inside the Oklahoma State 35-yard line on each of their first five drives and then found a way to give the ball back without getting any points.

“It’s not like you are going to pitch a shutout game against them but you certain-

ly better match scores when you have opportunities and we didn’t,” Baylor coach Art Briles said.

That’s nothing new for the Cowboys.

OSU came into the game ranked 103rd in the nation in yards allowed — easily the worst of the eight remaining undefeated teams — but has consistently found ways to get critical stops when needed. The Pokes lead the nation in turnover margin and added to their Bowl Subdivision lead in interceptions by picking off their 16th and 17th of the season.

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

Stanford claims 3-OT thriller with USC The Associated Press

No. 4 Stanford 56, No. 20 USC 48, 3OT LOS ANGELES — Stepfan Taylor ran for the tying touchdown with 38 seconds left in regulation and the goahead score in the third overtime, and Stanford’s defense preserved its 16-game winning streak by forcing Curtis McNeal’s fumble into the end zone.

Andrew Luck burnished his Heisman Trophy credentials by engineering four late scoring drives for No. 4 Stanford (8-0, 6-0 Pac-12), which rallied after trailing for the first time all season.

But four years after Stanford stunned USC (6-2, 3-2) with a one-point victory as a 41-point underdog, the schools played another classic on a cool Coliseum night — and once again, the Cardinal ruled.

Georgia Tech 31, No. 6 Clemson 17 ATLANTA — Tevin Washington rushed for 176 yards and broke the two longest runs of his career, leading Georgia Tech to a upset of Clemson and likely snuffing out the Tigers’ national title hopes.

The Yellow Jackets (7-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) raced to a 24-3 halftime lead and held off Clemson (8-1, 5-1) which was off to its best start since 2000, The Tigers had climbed to fifth in the BCS standings, but they figure to take a tumble and are unlikely to have enough game left to re-enter the national race.

The Yellow Jackets snapped a two-game losing streak behind their junior quarterback, who had runs of 46 and 56 yards and touchdown among his 27 carreies.

He took a final knee and celebrated with Georgia Tech students, who stormed the field.

No. 7 Oregon 43, Washington State 28 EUGENE, ORE. — Oregon stars LaMichael James and Darron Thomas returned from injury but true freshman De’Anthony Thomas sparked the Ducks with two second-half touchdowns.

Darron Thomas, who missed a game because of a knee injury, returned to start against the Cougars but threw two interceptions in the first half and was replaced by backup Bryan Bennett in the second.

Young Haskell falls, 40-0

THE DEALS ARE ON

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

The young Haskell Indian Nations University football team is learning.

The Indians have just five seniors on the roster, so the young players are getting plenty of experience.

They fell to 0-9 Saturday with a 40-0 loss to Robert Morris University at Haskell Stadium.

“No freshman has quit,” coach Jimmy Snyder said.

“We’ve never had that. The future is bright.”

Like any young team with talent, there were flashes of explosiveness and miscues Saturday. There are many new faces, and Snyder was promoted to head coach just this season, so there are going to be glitches.

The Indians have had chances to score all season, but missed by just a few inches, “To find rhythm or cohesiveness that offenses need to be successful is difficult,” Snyder said.

Late in the fourth quarter, junior Caleb Chaffin caught a pass from senior Ryan Alden that took the Indians to the two-yard line. In four downs, Haskell couldn’t get it into the end zone.

“We’re putting young guys in a position that takes experience,” sophomore quarterback Maverick Lang said.

HASKELL’S BRANDON BEATON, LEFT, tries to shake Robert Morris’ Jason Olson. HINU fell, 40-0, Saturday at Haskell Stadium.

Speedy running back LaMont Wims scored the first four touchdowns for the Eagles.

Snyder said there were some missed tackles, but the Indians start nine freshmen and two sophomores on defense.

The defense stiffened in the second half, allowing just 13 points. There were more big plays from the offense as well, including a 30-yard catch by sophomore Tyler Blaylock and the 18-yarder by Chaffin.

Lang, who came in this semester as a transfer, has started at quarterback most

of this year. He said the first part of the season was a carousel for him with the quarterback switch and the new system, but he’s optimistic.

“I want to be the guy for the next three years that helps turn this program around,” he said.

Snyder said that he recruits freshmen harder than he recruits high schoolers because freshmen are the ones who need to buy into the system.

“We’ll be better next year,” Snyder said. “I have no doubt in my mind. I don’t think any of our young guys have any doubt.”

SEABURY’S GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM HEADS OUT at the start of the Class 1A state meet Saturday at Wamego. The Seahawks won state, the school’s first athletic state title.

Seabury CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“Their goal was to first of all to get in position to win at the beginning,” Douglas said.

“In the middle, they were going to try to attack the hills, then use the downhills to keep passing. They did that. It’s a

really tough group of girls.

Their goal was just to hand in the lowest number they possibly could, and they all really did that today. They really put it out there. They all ran really well, really focused.”

They also, Douglas said, didn’t seemed fazed by the big stage.

“They didn’t really seem nervous before the race,” she said.

“They were just really focused and had a lot of fun with it.”

Maybe that was due to youth?

“Maybe next year, when people know about them, they’ll be a little more nervous,” Douglas said with a laugh.

Seabury’s boys did not qualify as a team.

Running individually, Seabury’s Brandon McCaffrey placed 12th in the 5K race in 18:18, and Marcus Allen was 52nd in 20:16.

Baldwin girls win fifth-straight title J-W Staff Reports

WAMEGO — Baldwin High’s girls cross country dynasty continued Saturday at the Class 4A state meet.

While it was the fewest number of state medalists for the Bulldogs in recent years, they still easily won the state championship. BHS scored 65 team points, while secondplace Maize South had 91.

“I was really excited about how well they ran,” Baldwin coach Mike Spielman said.

“The kids have done a great job of keeping the tradition going. They don’t want to see the streak end. They did a great job of taking care of each other and making sure the team title is the most important thing.”

Baldwin has won a 4A-record five straight state titles and eight of the last 10.

Sophomore Katie Jones led the Bulldogs with an 11thplace finish. She ran the fourkilometer course in a time of 16:03.91. Senior Carol Whaley was 12th in 16:04.73.

On the boys’ side, Baldwin placed fifth. Sophomore Ethan Hartzell led BHS with a runner-up finish to De Soto’s Angel Vasquez, who won the five-kilometer race in 16:30.47.

COMMENTARY

Home field rules don’t make sense

The Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation would like to formally invite you to the

By Tim Cowlishaw The Dallas Morning News

It is over now, and Ron Washington’s first order of business for 2012 is to do a better job managing.

In the All-Star Game.

I’ve said it before when it had nothing to do with the Rangers, and I’ll say it one final time (for 2011) while it’s still fresh in the minds of haunted Rangers fans. Deciding home-field advantage for the World Series based on which league wins the All-Star Game is the dumbest thing in professional sports.

The NBA and NHL determine home court or home ice based on the teams’ regular-season records.

Clearly, this is the fairest way to go about it, and while some will tell me that Major League Baseball teams play uneven schedules, the answer is in the math.

The 162-game season has to be worth something.

Through the years, things should even out enough that a team playing in the National League West won’t always have a softer schedule than a team playing in the American League East.

At least those wins are earned by the teams involved. As manager of the All-Star team, a “privilege” Washington has earned again for 2012, the Rangers’ manager has to juggle egos as much as he has to try to win the game. Then you’ve got all the starting pitchers who are restricted from playing by pitching on Sunday before the All-Star Game or choose to bail out on their own.

This is how we decide that Game 7 was to be held in St. Louis?

The Cardinals were the ninth home team to win Game 7 of the World Series.

Home field doesn’t always mean a lot in baseball, but it’s on a heck of a roll in the biggest game of the season.

The rule regarding the All-Star winner was implemented in 2003, making this the first Game 7 since. The Rangers won 96 games to the Cardinals’ 90 this season.

The Rangers won their division while the Cardinals were the wild-card team.

This isn’t about making excuses. This is about examining things that make no sense.

Even alternating World Series home-field advantage between leagues as was done for years would be a better system than the current one. If that were still in play, the Rangers wouldn’t have played Game 1 on the road in consecutive years.

If the Rangers weren’t undone by an ill-conceived rule, then, well, just blame it on the weather. If not for the rain that postponed Game 5 (even though it barely rained that night in St. Louis, conspiracy theorists), Chris Carpenter never could have started Game 7.

Stupid rule, lousy rain, what else is there?

Oh, yeah, the Cardinals.

They actually did a little more than simply take advantage of a rule that grew out of an All-Star Game tie and some foul weather. They played better baseball than the Rangers.

Albert Pujols’ damage was limited almost solely to Game 3, but the Cardinals won three other games without a single RBI from him. David Freese was the deserving MVP, but Lance Berkman or catcher Yadier Molina deserved to be in the discussion.

The Cardinals got their 11th championship before the Rangers got their first, and it’s not like they cheated or bent the rules to make it happen.

It’s just that a stupid rule caused Game 7 to be played under National League rules in a National League park.

Until that changes, the biggest game Washington will manage in 2012 could be a July exhibition game in Kansas City.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS’ ALBERT PUJOLS HOLDS UP a newspaper after Game 7 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers on Friday in St. Louis. The Cardinals won the series, but the St. Louis front office must now look to lock up the team’s prize free agents, like Pujols.

Series done, Cardinals must persuade Pujols “

I would say I have about a 72-hour window ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols to enjoy this, and then tried to give away nothing right back it Monday.”

Associated Press Sports Writer

during the celebration, tried to stay in the moment. But what a moment it was.

Getting another taste of that championship feeling surely will tip the scales in favor of the St. Louis Cardinals at least a little bit when it comes time to talk contract.

“Obviously, right now a lot of things go through my head and thinking about the whole season,” Pujols said at the podium after the Cardinals won their 11th World Series.

“Probably like two or three weeks from now, that’s when I’m really going to be sitting down and saying, ‘Wow, where we were, and now we’re the 2011 World Champions.’ It’s unbelievable.”

What remained of Friday after the Cardinals finished off the Texas Rangers in Game 7 was for savoring one of the most unlikely comebacks in major league history. Hundreds of fans peacefully roamed the downtown streets well into the night.

“Truly a dream come true,” manager Tony La Russa said.

“It’s hard to really imagine it actually happened.”

Today, the team will bask in adulation once again with a victory parade scheduled for late afternoon. In 2006, the team estimated between 300,000 and a half-milllion people lined the streets.

Five players remain from 2006, when the Cardinals backed into the postseason as an 83-win team and then got hot when key players got healthy. Pujols, Yadier Molina, Skip Schumaker and Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright remain from that team, which also was lightly regarded.

Can’t top 2011.

“This team is unbelievable,” Carpenter said after beating the Rangers for the

— St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak second time. “Most amazing team I’ve ever been a part of.”

General manager John Mozeliak takes special satisfaction in the championship.

The moves he made at the trade deadline for shortstop Rafael Furcal, starter Edwin Jackson and three relievers finally paid off in September, and well beyond.

“All you can do is live and die with your club,” Mozeliak said. “To sit here now and be on top, it’s just a wonderful experience.”

Mozeliak can’t celebrate for long, though.

“I would say I have about a 72-hour window to enjoy this,” Mozeliak said. “And then right back it Monday.”

A weighty decision looms: Can the Cardinals persuade Pujols to stay? Would extra millions he might make elsewhere compensate for shedding the role of local icon?

He seemed pretty proud about his place in St. Louis after Game 7.

“It doesn’t matter the numbers, it doesn’t matter the records, it doesn’t matter the money that you make,” Pujols said. “What matters is to raise that trophy and to be able to bring that smile to the city of St. Louis.

“And not just the city of St. Louis, but all our fans around the world.”

Mozeliak has more than just Pujols on his plate. But after the postseason, the roster just seemed so much deeper.

October brought out new stars in third baseman David Freese, the MVP of both the NLCS and World Series, and Allen Craig, whose big bat helped the team overcome

injuries to cleanup hitter Matt Holliday.

Freese was the Cardinals’ most dangerous hitter throughout the playoffs.

Craig’s homer was the go-ahead hit in Game 7, and then he robbed Nelson Cruz of a homer with a catch high above the left field wall.

Pitching stalwarts emerged, too. Hard-throwing Jason Motte nailed down the closer role that was up for grabs most of the year. Relievers Marc Rzepczynski and Lance Lynn stepped up alongside veterans Octavio Dotel and Arthur Rhodes, who both played in their first World Series.

All five starters are under contract for next season.

If Pujols decides to leave, there is a Plan B. Berkman, the NL comeback player of the year, could move to first and Craig could be the regular right fielder.

And the Cardinals would have plenty left to spend on other upgrades. They’ve expressed interest in retaining Furcal, but at much less than his $12 million option.

Jackson is a free agent, too, and a player the Cardinals had figured they were just renting. That championship feeling had him thinking St. Louis was the place to be.

“Man, if we could be like this every year, why not?”

Jackson said. “I’m sure the city is going crazy right now and without them we couldn’t have gotten it done.”

The victory parade will be led by a team of Budweiser Clydesdales and include marching bands from four area high schools, with players riding atop trucks. A ceremony will follow at Busch Stadium.

WINTER IS COMING AND MANY LAWRENCE RESIDENTS are finishing last-minute garden and landscaping chores before they pack their tools and equipment away. But before you do, make sure you drain your machines of any gas and clean any tools of debris. These and other forms of preventive maintenance can affect the efficiency and overall life of your mower, edger or other tool.

Take care of garden equipment before winter A

s the days get shorter and cool winds signal the coming of winter, I scurry like a squirrel to complete this year’s gardening chores. At the top of the list this week is taking care of garden equipment and tools.

Most importantly, drain any remaining fuel from gas-powered lawnmowers, string trimmers, tillers and other garden equipment.

If you plan to use them again this fall, wait until after the last use, but make sure to do it at some point. Gasoline that sits in a fuel tank and engine for long periods of time (winter) often becomes thick and gummy and may prevent the engine from running effectively — or at all.

The easiest way to drain the fuel tank is to leave the motor running until all the fuel is

burned (preferably after the tank is already close to empty). Adding a fuel stabilizer is the only alternative to draining the fuel.

Fuel stabilizers are usually available at the same places as small engine equipment and parts. If you use small amounts of fuel

during the season, you may wish to use fuel stabilizer throughout the year. Read and follow all label instructions when using fuel stabilizer.

Second priority is to clean any remaining soil and plant debris from all equipment and tools. Soil and plant debris hold moisture against metal surfaces, causing them to rust. Putty knives and window or paint scrapers work well to loosen soil. Tools can also be rinsed with the garden hose, but make sure to dry them completely before storing. Apply a spray lubricant like WD-40 for extra protection on metal parts.

To remove plant debris from walk-behind lawnmowers, tilt the mower on its side (after draining gas) or lean it back to

gain access to the underside of the deck. A putty knife works great to dislodge the chunks of solidified grass clippings often found here.

Avoid using a pressure washer to clean tools or equipment as most are not designed to handle the force and could be damaged.

For protection of wooden tool handles or other wooden parts, apply a wood preservative such as boiled linseed oil.

While the mower is tilted up for cleaning, you may wish to remove the blade and sharpen it.

Blade sharpening can also wait until spring, but remember that they should be sharpened after every 10 hours of use to maximize the efficiency of the mower.

Dull mower blades tear the grass rather than cutting it.

Lubrication of the spark plug cylinder is also recommended before winter storage of gaspowered equipment. Remove the spark plug, add a teaspoon of oil or less, and crank the engine a few times to help spread the oil inside the cylinder. Consider replacing the spark plug now also, although that is another task that can wait until spring.

If any of your lawn and garden equipment has a battery, remove it for storage over the winter.

Clean the battery’s terminals with a wire brush and connect it to a battery monitor to keep it charged up for winter.

Kovel’s Antiques: Vintage holiday items are well-appreciated

By Terry Kovel

Vintage Halloween decorations are best-sellers today, and their values continue to rise. And sometimes a rare holiday piece will bring an exceptionally high price.

Morphy Auctions of Denver, Pa., sold this Vegetable Halloween Man pictured at right last year. The figure has radish arms, zucchini legs, walnut feet and a watermelon — not a pumpkin — for a head. He grins and his glass eyes move with the help of a clockwork mechanism.

It may be a unique display piece for a store. The 17 1/2inch figure had many bidders and sold for $19,550.

Q: I heard that glass caskets were once made in the United States. Is that true?

in Orville, Ohio, made glass caskets in 1877. It was a Midwestern industry. At least 12 Midwest companies made glass caskets, most using a 1915 patent registered by James DeCamp. Most were small children’s caskets because adult-size caskets were so difficult to make. That’s why large glass caskets were reserved for “holy” people and other important people.

Some glass caskets can be seen in Catholic churches in the United States and abroad.

Most caskets used today weigh 150 to 200 pounds. An adult glass casket weighed more than 300 pounds and if dropped or hit, it might break, an undesirable event at a funeral.

Q: I discovered that our family has five silver-plated spoons with figures of girls on them along with five different names: Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne. They are not particularly shiny.

family farm. Their mother opened a souvenir shop on the farm and sold items picturing the girls and souvenirs like “fertility stones” from the farm. The publicity about their birth made the quintuplets famous throughout the world. Up to 6,000 visitors a day came to watch the girls play, and I was one of them. The area known as “Quintland” became the biggest tourist attraction in Ontario. The girls returned to live with their family in 1943.

Thousands of special dolls and souvenirs were made picturing the quints at different ages.

Emilie died in 1954, Marie in 1970 and Yvonne in 2001. Annette and Cecile still live in Canada. You can use any brand of silver polish to clean the spoons, but if the silver plate has worn off, no amount of cleaning will help.

A set of spoons like yours is worth $60 to $75.

Give niece chance to redeem herself Dear Annie: My only sibling passed away six years ago. He left three adult children and a wife who walked out on him a month before he died. The two eldest children are doing great. The problem is the youngest.

“Olivia” is an adroit liar and has stolen from most of the family members. Three years ago, she said she wanted a “fresh start” and asked if she could stay with us until she got on her feet. At this time, my elderly mother was living with us, and my wife was recovering from bypass surgery. I was inclined to say “no,” but Olivia cried to my mother, who insisted we take her in. We gave up our bedroom, and my wife and I took separate couches. While here, Olivia trashed our bedroom and my mother’s car. I also discovered that Olivia had been stealing money out of my mother’s wallet.

Mom passed away four months later, and Olivia moved into her own place. I loaned her some furniture, including my mother’s bedroom set.

Here’s where the problem begins. Olivia was evicted for non-payment of rent. No one knew about it for months.

When I called the landlord to ask what happened to the furniture, he said it was put into storage for 45 days and then into a dumpster.

Olivia is 30 now. She recently married, and I wasn’t invit-

Dear Annie: “Neglected” said her husband isn’t interested in sex. May I suggest another reason besides an affair or a medical problem?

Immediately after our marriage, he announced that anniesmailbox@comcast.net he had no desire and refused to discuss it. ed to the wedding. I want to I tortured myself wondertake her to small claims court ing what I did wrong and then for the value of the furniture discovered that the real probwe loaned her. This decision has caused grief throughout the family, but I feel it’s time Olivia is held responsible for her actions. Should I do it? — Disowned Uncle Dear Uncle: First, think it through. Has Olivia matured now that she is older and married? If so, you might do better to approach her directly and ask her to work out a payment plan for the missing furniture.

This holds her responsible with less animosity and allows her to acknowledge her misdeeds without creating the confrontation that a courtroom requires. But if she is still the disturbed, conniving girl you remember, a court of law may be the only way to exact payment. You will, however, be damaging your relationship with her siblings, and there is no guarantee that Olivia will

Cartoon a bit brutish, but funny The new cartoon comedy “Allen Gregory” (7:30 p.m., Fox) borders on original. And odd. And audacious, subversive, peculiar and funny. And not a little nasty.

Voiced by actor Jonah Hill, who also serves as creator and executive producer, Allen Gregory is a ridiculously pretentious 7-year-old raised by a pompous, clueless and cruel gay man named Richard De Longpre (French Stewart), the scion of a fabulously wealthy family that appears to have fallen on hard times.

Richard dotes on Allen while treating everyone else, including his husband, Jeremy (Nat Faxon), with contempt. He reserves a particular dismissive disdain for Julie (Joy Osmanski), Allen’s adopted Cambodian sister.

Allen’s world changes when he’s forced to attend a public elementary school, where his adult ways, foppish tastes, love of “Charlie Rose” and penchant for drinking pinot grigio with lunch run into the realities of the grammar school corridor.

He develops a fiendish crush on his elderly obese principal, Mrs. Gottlieb (Renee Taylor), whose protestations are squelched by an administration desperate not to displease Allen’s wealthy family.

Central to Allen’s character is his complete inability to listen, or to acknowledge anybody else’s point of view. In this, he completely resembles his father.

It’s not certain if “Allen Gregory” will survive, but I suggest that the show will be remembered for its savage and timely satire of our contemporary fixation on the ultra-wealthy and the obsequious and desperate ways that some (on television and off) pander to their every whim.

It’s also a wicked and often discomforting show that dares to send up the politically charged (and politically correct) idea of gay marriage and mean enough to depict the adoption of a foreign child as a kind of shopping trip for a soon-forgotten accessory. To the De Longpres, other people are either impediments or possessions. That’s a powerful idea, not necessarily funny to all.

Things would go down smoother if there were at least one strong “normal” character for viewers to follow. (Think Jason Bateman on “Arrested Development.”) Absent that, I think the reign of “Allen Gregory” is going to be nasty, brutish and short.

Director Eli Roth asks “How Evil Are You?” (8 p.m., Discovery) and re-creates infamous experiments that prove how far we will go to inflict pain on strangers.

Kari Byron (“MythBusters”) hosts “Large, Dangerous Rocket Ships 2011” (9 p.m., Science).

Tonight’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): a conversation with Bernie Madoff’s children; a profile of an NFL player and cancer survivor.

The Eagles host the Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football” (7 p.m., NBC).

Trapped in a canyon with few appetizing options on the annual “Treehouse of Horror” edition of “The Simpsons” (7 p.m., Fox). Look for Flanders as “Dexter” in the show’s best spoof.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

jacquelinebigar.com

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Defer to others. Your fiery side emerges out of the blue.

Be careful with spending or overeating, as it is a way of sublimating your feelings. Tonight: The more people, the more fun.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to be lazy just for a day.

The only way your high energy and enthusiasm can continue is with occasional days off to snooze, read or do whatever you want.

Tonight: Join friends for dinner.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) Your creativity emerges, allowing more options you hadn’t yet thought of. Just be spontaneous, whether it is taking a child to the zoo or off to a concert by yourself. Tonight: So what if tomorrow is Monday?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A little peace and quiet seems like the only way to go. A partner or loved one becomes very affectionate with additional time and attention.

Tonight: Play it low-key.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are likely to tell it like it is. Add a bit

of diplomacy, and resist letting others know what you are sharing in a discussion with a key person.

Tonight: Out and about.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) Indulge yourself, and perhaps a roommate.

Relax with the moment.

Just don’t make a decision more dramatic than necessary. Tonight: Treat time.

Capricorn You are unusually full of yourself.

You might want to turn a situation around. Tonight: Don’t be surprised to see plans change.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Sometimes you are happiest vanishing. Where and how remains an excellent topic for your imagination. Tonight: Only become visible if you so choose.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Frustration might mount if you’re working on a project — take off and join friends.

You probably know where they are, and letting off some steam could make you much happier. Tonight: Where your friends are.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

For Sunday, Oct. 30: Take command of your life this year. Others could be taken aback by your strength and directness.

You easily could antagonize a higher-up. If you are single, you draw more than your fair share of suitors.

Relax with the moment.

Tonight: Don’t try to rein in your imagination.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Relate to a key person. It can be so easy to read your newspaper or snooze. Tonight: Keep it close.

GOP rivals focus Immigration battle recalls civil rights history on flat taxes, smaller government ALABAMA

By Phillip Rawls

Associated Press

By Tom Raum Associated Press

WASHINGTON — On jobs and taxes, the top Republican presidential rivals are locked in a fierce game of one-upmanship. They’re all trying to outdo each other in offering the boldest economic plan for the campaign to unseat President Barack Obama next November.

MONTGOMERY, ALA. — The epicenter of the fight over the nation’s patchwork of immigration laws is not Arizona, which shares a border with Mexico and became a common site for boycotts.

Nor was it any of the four states that were next to pass their own crackdowns.

No, the case that’s likely to be the first sorted out by the U.S. Supreme Court comes from this Deep South state, where the nation’s strictest immigration law has resurrected ugly images from Alabama’s days as the nation’s battleground for civil rights a half-century ago.

And Alabama’s jump to the forefront says as much about the country’s evolving demographics as it does the nation’s collective memory of the state’s sometimes violent path to desegregation.

With the failure of Congress in recent years to pass comprehensive federal immigration legislation, Arizona, Georgia, Utah, South Carolina and Indiana have passed their own. But supporters and opponents alike agree none contained provisions as strict as those passed in Alabama, among them one that required schools to check students’ immigration status. That provision, which has been temporarily blocked, would allow the Supreme Court to reconsider a decision that said a K-12 education must be provided to illegal immigrants.

Its stature as the strictest in the nation, along with the inevitable comparisons of today’s Hispanics with AfricanAmericans of the 1950s and ‘60s, makes it a near certainty the law will be a test case for the high court.

Horace Cort/AP File Photo

“It really offers the Supreme Court a broad canvas to reshape what being an immigrant in the United States means,” said Foster Maer, an attorney with LatinoJustice in New York, which is challenging the law.

Alabama was well-suited to be the nation’s civil rights battleground because of its harsh segregation laws, large black population and the presence of a charismatic young minister named Martin Luther King Jr., who led a boycott of segregated buses in 1955.

Opponents say the new law’s schools provision conjures images of Gov. George Wallace’s stand in the schoolhouse door to block integration.

“Today we have a different stand in the schoolhouse door. We have efforts to intimidate children who have a constitutional right to go to school,” said Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Although no solid numbers exist, schools have reported fewer Hispanic students attending school, with some

saying as much as 10 percent of their Hispanic students have withdrawn since the law took effect a month ago.

Illegal immigrants interviewed by The Associated Press have said their children were bullied and told to go back to Mexico, while others have described their intense fears of arrest and deportation.

The lawyer leading the state’s defense, Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange, faults President Barack Obama’s Justice Department for stirring the civil rights comparisons by falsely predicting the law would lead to the kind of widespread discrimination and profiling that marked Alabama’s past.

“The idea they seem to have is there’s a Bull Connor on every corner here in Alabama, which is so widely out of touch with our state,” he said, referring to the public safety commissioner who unleashed police dogs and fire hoses on civil rights marchers in Birmingham in the 1960s.

At first glance, Alabama seems ill-suited to be the nation’s immigration battle-

The epicenter of the fight over immigration laws is Alabama, where the nation’s strictest law has resurrected ugly images from the state’s past.

ground. It’s not a border state and is home to fewer illegal immigrants than several other Southern states.

“Why are we getting all the publicity? I think it has to do with Alabama’s past and the perception that people have of Alabama over the years that don’t live in our state and really don’t recognize the amount of progress we’ve made in Alabama over the last 50 to 60 years,” said Republican Gov. Robert Bentley, who advocated the law and signed it into effect.

Alabama’s law, pushed through by a new Republican super-majority in the Legislature, is being challenged in federal court by the Justice Department, about 30 civil rights organizations and some prominent church leaders. Judges have blocked some provisions, but sections still stand that allow police to check a person’s immigration status during traffic stops and make it a felony for illegal immigrants to conduct basic state business, like getting a driver’s license.

Billboard battle: ‘Wanted’ posters vs. blight fight

By Bill Draper Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Nearly a decade ago, a suburban Kansas City man desperately searching for his teenage daughter’s killer divined an idea: Place a “wanted” poster with the suspect’s picture on a billboard.

A year later, Leawood, Kan., resident Roger Kemp got his wish, and investigators got their man. Two anonymous tipsters who had seen the Kansas City billboards recognized the photo and contacted police.

Today, law enforcement agencies nationwide say billboards — especially digital ones — have become a valuable tool in their high-tech crime-fighting arsenal. This week, more than a dozen electronic billboards began flashing pictures of little Lisa Irwin, the missing Kansas City baby who was 10 months old when her parents reported her missing Oct. 4.

Kansas City police said Friday they had pursued 934 of the 1,059 tips they’ve received but still have no solid leads.

Hundreds of investigators have combed wooded and other areas, but each search has come up empty, they said.

Kids trick-or-treat at White House

Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP Photo

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA and mother-in-law Marian Robinson hand out Halloween treats as they welcome children from the Washington area and military members and their families to trick-or-treat Saturday at the White House in Washington, D.C.

Lamar Advertising Co. has put Lisa’s picture, a phone number and information about a $100,000 reward on its 15 electronic billboards in the Kansas City metropolitan area as a public service, CEO Bob Fessler said.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has a deal with digital billboard operators nationwide in which the organization can override the messages on the signs and replace them with Amber Alerts whenever they’re issued. That happened on the day Lisa disappeared.

The FBI credits digital billboards with helping nab 45 fugitives since pictures were first put on the signs. The Outdoor Advertising Association of America Inc. estimates the FBI will use roughly 40 million donated billboard slots in 2011, each lasting eight seconds.

Ken Kline, vice president with the Outdoor Advertising Association, said that since so many agencies — local police, FBI, U.S. Marshal’s Service and others — are using the billboards to catch fugitives, there’s no way to quantify how many people have been apprehended through their use.

He said a “national estimate of

Kansas City has a moratorium in place restricting new billboards, and cities nationwide are grappling with an issue some feel is destroying the beauty of their neighborhoods and countryside while also distracting drivers. multiple hundreds would be conservative.”

But acceptance of digital billboards is not universal.

Kansas City has a moratorium in place restricting new billboards, and cities nationwide are grappling with an issue some feel is destroying the beauty of their neighborhoods and countryside while also distracting drivers.

“We receive a lot of complaints from individuals who live in neighborhoods, and motorists who are concerned about the additional distractions and dangers billboards pose,” said John Regenbogen, executive director of Scenic Missouri, which touts billboard control as one of its top issues.

They also keep missing children in the public eye. Fes-

sler said his company, which donated those first billboards for Kemp’s campaign in 2003, wanted to help gather tips in Lisa Irwin’s search by keeping her image displayed on the billboards.

“After the Kemp case, we got a lot of phone calls about anything from missing people to cold cases,” Fessler said.

“We treat it as a public service.

We don’t charge for it.”

Fessler’s company has been embroiled in a multiyear dispute with Kansas City over electronic billboards after the city banned them in 2007.

The city now has a moratorium that allows the handful of digital billboards to remain, but places strict restrictions on new signs.

Carol Winterowd, who has been active in the fight against billboard proliferation in Kansas City, said there are several alternatives for getting information out.

“We have more (billboards) than we need,” she said, adding that posting pictures of criminals and Amber Alerts is fine, while also claiming electronic billboards can be a safety hazard. “Attention should be on the road, not looking at billboards.”

BRIEFLY Surfer hospitalized after shark attack

Lego man to stay in police custody

Flood defenses hold off peak tides

MONTEREY, CALIF. — A shark attacked a surfer Saturday off a California beach, biting him in the neck and arm and sending him to a hospital with nonlifethreatening injuries.

Eric Tarantino of Monterey was attacked around 7 a.m., just minutes after he and a friend entered the water at Marina State Beach, The Monterey Herald reported.

The shark bit Tarantino, 27, on the neck and right forearm and left teeth marks in his red surfboard.

Tarantino’s friend, Brandon McKibben of Salinas, helped him out of the water, and other surfers used beach towels to try to stop his bleeding.

Tarantino was taken to a local airport by paramedics and flown to the San Jose Regional Medical Center, authorities said.

SARASOTA, FLA. — Lego man is going to stay in police custody for three months.

Lego man, a 100-pound, 8-foot-tall sculpture, didn’t do anything wrong except wash up on a Florida beach. Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight says his office will hold the fiberglass sculpture for 90 days just like all other lost and found property.

During that time, authorities will try to determine who the owner is.

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that the local tourism bureau had hoped to use the Lego man to promote the area, but the sheriff says it needs to remain in police custody a little longer.

The sculpture mysteriously appeared on a Siesta Key beach Tuesday.

A Legoland recently opened in Winter Haven, which is about 70 miles northwest of Siesta Key.

BANGKOK — Defenses shielding the center of Thailand’s capital from the nation’s worst floods in nearly 60 years mostly held at critical peak tides Saturday, as the waters began to recede after killing almost 400 people. But the threat to central Bangkok was not over, the prime minister said, and the city’s northern districts remained submerged along with much of the countryside.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra urged citizens to let the crisis run its course as the floodwaters slowly drain to the sea, with Bangkok lying in their path. The floods that have besieged central Thailand for weeks submerged entire towns across the country’s heartland and shuttered hundreds of factories over the last two months.

Going to War with Adam Granduciel War on Drugs singer discusses tour, new album

By Cameron Hawk Special to the Journal-World

ONLINE: Read the extended interview at Lawrence.com

Indie rock band The War on Drugs began when Adam Granduciel met Kurt Vile and began playing music, settling on a name in 2005 before cutting a demo EP. Now, three albums and several lineup changes later, Granduciel and bass player Dave Hartley remain the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original members. Before the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tuesday show at the Jackpot, 943 Mass., Granduciel took time to talk to The Dead Girls guitarist and music blogger Cameron Hawk about the tour, the role that sampling played on the new album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slave Ambientâ&#x20AC;? and traveling music.

Cameron Hawk: Your shows have been getting strong word-of-mouth. What brings you to Lawrence this time?

Adam Granduciel: Yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be a blast. Last time we came we played in Kansas City at the Riot Room, and everyone was saying we should play in Lawrence, so we made sure to play in Lawrence.

CH: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been listening to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slave Ambientâ&#x20AC;? a lot during my commute to work, and everything from its sound to the album art and its outdoor pictures seems to be very oriented on traveling.

AG: I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just kind of like a general feeling from the tunes that, maybe when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also doing some of the art, kind of comes to mind, you know? Or maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fact that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just kind of a

Special to the Journal-World

ADAM GRANDUCIEL WILL BE IN LAWRENCE WITH THE WAR ON DRUGS on Nov. 1 in support of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slave Ambient,â&#x20AC;? which has received decidedly positive reviews from â&#x20AC;&#x153;The A.V. Clubâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pitchfork.â&#x20AC;? visual counterpart to the records that just kind of works with my photos. The road trip music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about the songs themselves; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of wide sounding, and I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that feeling.

CH: Yeah, the songs have a lot of space.

AG: Yeah, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of space in them. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not overly dynamic in that way, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just kind of one thing that moves. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of what I love about some of my favorite songs, and some of my favorite feelings that come from music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening. So I think when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working on songs, and when I have those moments that start to creep in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that motion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I go towards that.

Also, part of the recording process lends itself to having the songs end up that way.

When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing songs, sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just playing along to a drum machine or a drum loop or a percussive loop that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made from all sorts of different things. And maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just put the loop down for 10 minutes, just to get a feel for the song and to have a lot of time to impro-

vise so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to keep rewinding the tape.

And then sometimes there will be something that sticks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m stuck with a 10-minute thing, you know?

And from there, you kind of craft a song out of it.

CH: Is there any drum machine on the album?

AG: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some drum machine, but a lot of the things that sound like a drum machine are actually real drums.

I would never program a drum machine, but sometimes what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do is have people come over and set up two drum sets, and maybe like two of my friends would play drums together and eventually lock into some kind of groove, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d record the whole thing. Then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d listen back to it on tape and sample a 3- or 4-second part of it that sounded really interesting, add some effects, and sample it again. So a lot of stuff that sounds like a looped drum machine is actually real drums just sampled and sampled and re-sampled, etc.

CH: Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another thing I like about your band â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you apply the ideas of something like techno or sampling to more of a classic rock structure.

Local poet, author cherishes a history with books

By Margie Carr Special to the Journal-World

Teacher, poet and author of more than 20 books of poetry and essays, Denise Low has had an exciting and busy fall. In addition to her regular job teaching at Haskell Indian Nations University, her book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ghost Stories of the New West: From Einsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brain to Geronimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bootsâ&#x20AC;? was honored as a 2011 Kansas Notable Book, and her book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural Theologies: Essays about Literature of the New Middle Westâ&#x20AC;? was recently released.

Low, a longtime Lawrence resident, grew up in Emporia in a family of readers and in a house full of books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father had all kinds of books,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yoga books, best-sellers and even â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Tibetan Book of the Deadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ... I remember when the Readerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digest Abridged books would come in the mail and we would all fight over who got to read it first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned at an early age to be transported to another time through reading,â&#x20AC;?

She may have learned how to visit other places by reading, but it is through writing that she finds her way back home. And nowhere is that more true than in the autobiographical poems in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ghost Storiesâ&#x20AC;? and in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural Theologies,â&#x20AC;? which is the first critical study of contemporary MidPlains literature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope it (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Natural Theologiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) will draw peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention to the literature of the region,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hear people on television talking about Ohio and Pennsylvania as the Midwest,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of Cleveland or Pittsburgh as being like Kansas at all.â&#x20AC;?

For Low, there is a distinct region, what she calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Middle West,â&#x20AC;? or the blanket of land stretching from Denver to Kansas City and from Minneapolis to Oklahoma City. It is the part of the U.S. once called the Great American Desert, and continues to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;terra incognito.â&#x20AC;?

LAWRENCE AUTHOR DENISE LOW recently released her new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural Theologies: Essays About Literature of the New Middle West.â&#x20AC;? This book comes shortly after the prolific authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ghost Stories of the New West: From Einsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brain to Geronimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bootsâ&#x20AC;? had been named a 2011 Kansas Notable Book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up in Emporia and I never studied William Allen White,â&#x20AC;? says Low, who posits that the writers and artists from this area have a unique perspective influenced by open spaces and the native peoples who once inhabited the land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to fold together various native writers and show how their sensibilities were formed from the region in which they live.â&#x20AC;?

While there is some discussion in the book of historical figures such as Langston Hughes, and how his Kansas origins influenced in his later writings, the main focus is on contemporary writers including novelist Philip Kimball, writer Tom Averill, and poet Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg.

Perhaps it is not surprising that when Low is not teaching or writing poetry, she is analyzing the works of those around her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a professor at KU who taught us that there is more to poetry than the solitary act of writing it,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted us to be

involved with other writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work and to be involved in the community. It was a very valuable lesson.â&#x20AC;?

Low took that message to heart and has been connected with the Lawrence writing community for years, including the years between 1981 and 1997 when beat author William S. Burroughs took up residence in Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Thursdays he used to reach out to the community, and I was lucky enough to be invited to a few of those events,â&#x20AC;? she says.

She has also been involved in encouraging artistic expression to young and wouldbe writers through her role as Poet Laureate of Kansas, which she held from 2007 to 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The arts are a way to express oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit and emotion,â&#x20AC;? Low says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Language is not just a tool to tell us how to bake a cake or to repair something. Poetry involves subtleties and nuances that go beyond the basic literacy.â&#x20AC;?

As such, she met Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent decision to stop funding the Kansas Arts Commission with consternation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a man who aspires to be a spiritual person, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why he is placing obstacles in front of people who want to have opportunities for spiritual expression ... I do appreciate Mary Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support and organizing the Kansas Book Festival,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that is no substitute for experiencing the arts that were made possible by the Kansas Arts Commission.â&#x20AC;?

With or without the Arts Commission, Low will continue on in her journey with writing, with poetry, and with helping others to understand and take note of it in their world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are always listening to language, and poetry is in that language,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good poem will teach the reader something about the world and something about themselves.â&#x20AC;?

AG: Oh yeah, for sure. I love the sampler. I used the sampler for so many things on this record. I had kind of an unorthodox setup where I was just plugging in the main outs of the board into the sampler. So I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sampling off the computer and looping, it was just right from the tape machine going into the sampler, and maybe monitoring through headphones.

Then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have this really cool loop in the sampler, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just dump it to a whole new tape and start fresh. I have a lot of tapes where one tape is the beginning idea, and three tapes later is the actual sample that the song is built on.

I would do that with guitars, and just anything, really.

Usually just when messing around, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be working on something and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just take a day and just mess around with different sounds, and

just hook the sampler up and see what happens.

CH: It definitely sounds like the product of spending a lot of time working with what you have, and figuring out how to do different things with it.

AG: It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in like a Nine Inch Nails sense, or that kind of level of perfect samples.

CH: You didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rent out Sharon Tateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house or anything like that.

AG: Yeah, right. Nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s synced up perfectly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just kind of all flown in, with a human touch.

CH: The album cover makes it look like you guys did some outdoor recording for this album, with the microphones set up outside.

AG: That was actually a festival we played in Spain. I had my camera and I took it onstage during sound check.

The colors on top of it were

just a natural bleed from the camera and the light, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it looked like when I got it developed.

Eventually, I was just like yeah, that should be the cover.

CH: I was almost picturing a Led Zeppelin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physical Graffitiâ&#x20AC;? situation where you guys rented a mansion and were recording outdoors.

AG: Man, I wish. Maybe one day.

BOOKS An infidelity showstopper In Anne Enright’s ‘The Forgotten Waltz,’ the malaise isn’t just marital Chicago Tribune

Robilea Swindell, retired, Lawrence “‘A Single Shard’ by Linda Sue Park. I’m reading it with my book club.”

Alex Garcia/Chicago Tribune Photo

BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR ANNE ENRIGHT, shown Oct. 7 during her book tour in Chicago, has written a new novel, “The Forgotten Waltz,” a story of adultery and other issues in contemporary Ireland. adultery drama. In the book she makes a profoundly insightful connection between adultery and overspending and borrowing. Not only do both enterprises promise emancipation from reality and require extraordinary denial skills to continue, they require a self-involvement.

“Adultery is a great subject for a country in transition because it is about old values being overthrown, and people have to make their own personal morality, because the old moral authorities are irrelevant or dead,” Enright explains.

A fierce writer, Enright is also wry and candid, so the novel never stumbles on its own weight of moral righteousness. The chapter headings are named for slightly melodramatic songs such as “Stop! In the Name of Love.”

And Enright brilliantly jokes throughout the novel in a way that’s not snarky as, for

instance, Gina muses, “All you have to do is sleep with somebody and get caught and you never have to see your in-laws again. Ever. Pffft!

Gone. It’s the nearest thing to magic I have yet found.”

“The Gathering,” Enright’s previous novel, about a suicide and the family members who assemble at the funeral, won the Man Booker Prize in 2007. After the celebrations and public appearances on the novel’s behalf, Enright was eager to get back to her desk at home, where she lives with her husband and two children, 11 and 8, not far from Dublin, in a town near the sea. She began writing, and wrote the novel pretty much straight through as it appears now, over the course of a year and 10 months.

Enright worried a bit that Ireland’s financial status would work itself out before she finished writing, but that didn’t happen. The idea

for “The Forgotten Waltz” emerged as Enright traveled around talking about “The Gathering,” quite a sad book. The Celtic Tiger was still roaring at that point, and Enright recalls that some of the reaction after the Booker was, “Why are you drudging all of that sad stuff up? We got clear, so get with the program and buy more shoes.”

As the sun shifted, and the afternoon passed, the sidewalks continued to fill with shoppers laden with bags. As much as people seem to want to spend money, it seems absent from most conversations.

“I like putting money in books because I think we think about it a lot, and talk about it very little,” says Enright.

“It’s an interior conversation, and quite taboo to talk about.

You would never ask someone what they earned, ever.”

With that, we paid for the endless beverage refills and went on our way.

Alan Hollinghurst delivers a Great English Novel

By Tom Beer Newsday

Greg Bloom, unemployed, Lecompton “‘American Assassin’ by Vince Flynn. It’s the newest of his series.”

Louie Galloway, retired, Lawrence “‘Columbarium’ by Susan Stewart. I read her work ‘Forest,’ and that was very compelling.”

Alan Hollinghurst’s new novel, his first since winning the Man Booker Prize for “The Line of Beauty” seven years ago, opens in the suburbs of London, on a summer afternoon in 1913. George Sawle, a middle-class student at Cambridge, is coming home for the weekend with his new university friend, Cecil Valance, a published poet from a privileged aristocratic family. The Sawles — widowed mother Freda, brother Hubert and teenage sister Daphne — are abuzz with anticipation.

As the weekend unfolds, we discover George’s secret passion for Cecil, and Daphne’s own romantic infatuation with the posh houseguest. We see Cecil and George conspire to wander off in the woods for what they winkingly call “a bit of a rough-house” and witness an

Fiction

By Elizabeth Taylor

CHICAGO — In Chicago recently on tour for her new novel, “The Forgotten Waltz,” Anne Enright seemed keener on the street scene than touting her book. From the perspective of the Whiskey Bar & Grill outdoor cafe on Rush Street, we saw an abundance of shopping bags from Barneys, Hermes and Bloomingdale’s. Also abundant were well-groomed, purebred canines strolling with their owners, who were talking on cellphones.

As we talked over free refills of coffee and cola, our conversation was punctuated by a bit of ogling of bouleMary Mortensen, vardiers with particularly book indexer, unusual piercings, bad hairLawrence pieces and fabulous shoes. “‘Osman’s Dream’ by Carolyn Conversation segued from Finkle. It’s about the history the street scene to footwear of the Ottoman Empire. I’m and was demonstrative of the learning a lot.” unflagging curiosity and keen powers of observation that infuse Enright’s fiction. “The Forgotten Waltz” is so darkly funny, and laser sharp, that it is possible to read it solely as a well-written adultery novel, an infidelity showstopper. The novel is narrated by Gina, a 30-something woman in Dublin who works, albeit vaguely, in IT (information technology), recalling her affair with the man for whom she left her Diane Guerin, quite pleasant, if dull, husband. retired, The novel opens in February South Dakota “‘Bridge of Sighs’ by Robert 2009, in the aftermath of the Russo.

unexpected kiss between Cecil and Daphne in the darkened garden, an encounter freighted with ambiguous promise. Just what is Cecil up to? The weekend inspires a lyric poem, “Two Acres,” which the poet names for the quaint Sawle house and dedicates to Daphne. “She felt thrilled, and a little bewildered,” Hollinghurst writes, “at being in on the very making of a poem, and at something else magical, like seeing oneself in a photograph.”

If all this sounds like an Edwardian twist on “Brideshead Revisited,” just wait.

After 100 pages, “The Stranger’s Child” — the title comes from a Tennyson poem — makes a sudden leap into the future. In the second section we’re not initially sure where we are, or who the new characters are, but gradually we recognize the Valance fam-

ily home, Corley Court, and ascertain that more than a decade, and a World War, have passed. “Two Acres” — the “bloody, bloody poem” Freda calls it, for she is here on a visit — is now recited

by English school children, and the lives of the Sawles and the Valances are more entwined than ever — though not, perhaps, in the ways we might have expected.

Hollinghurst continues in this fashion — establishing a moment in time, letting us puzzle out the connections to an ever-receding past, and then jumping forward again. The novel brings us right up to the present day, when the players of that summer weekend in 1913 are gone and two generations of descendants and literary biographers are fascinated by the mysteries of Cecil Va-

lance. It’s the age of iPhones and text messages and Web searches, and, as an antique book dealer blithely observes to Daphne’s adult granddaughter, “all information is retrievable.”

Except, of course, that it isn’t. A running motif in this witty and ultimately very moving novel is that certain truths — like the gay relationships of that earlier time, perhaps all human desires — are unrecordable and, to some extent, unknowable. The past and the present form a kind of palimpsest that leaves neither wholly legible.

The book raises many such ideas, but they sit lightly on the page and never dampen the vibrant pleasures of Hollinghurst’s prose or his sparkling dialogue. There are echoes of E.M. Forster, Evelyn Waugh, Elizabeth Bowen and others, but “The Stranger’s Child” is a Great English Novel in its own right, and a tantalizing read.

‘Harry Potter: Page to Screen’ is a book that even Muggles can love

By Tish Wells McClatchy Newspapers

Harry Potter fans, rejoice!

An oversized coffee-table behemoth of a book, “Harry Potter: Page to Screen” by Bob McCabe is a wonderful wallow. The 504 pages are rich with photographs, drawings and anecdotes from the movies. It is aimed squarely at the “Harry Potter” fan who has it all, and it hits the bull’s eye.

The film world of “Harry Potter” started in 1997 when producer David Heyman was introduced to the manuscript of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,” the British title for “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” The manuscript had been retrieved from a slush pile in the office, and

while skeptical, Heyman started reading and fell in love. Twelve years later, they wrapped the eighth and final movie of a blockbuster series of films.

Over those years much happened.

There was the tragedy of the 9/11 attacks, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, terrorism in London, and several stock market crashes. Real life was less than happy for many people.

Inside the boarding school of Hogwarts, the trio of Potter and his friends Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley learned to be wizards, faced death several times, went through adolescence torment

and fell in love. Sound familiar?

But, in the end, in Harry Potter’s world, good conquers evil and makes book and cinematic history.

The “Harry Potter” series may have been based in a school, but the book makes clear that the films WERE a school in more than one sense. A talented crew of young actors learned their trade from some of the finest thespians in Britain, including the late Richard Harris.

For example, Daniel Radcliffe, the hero Harry Potter, credits Kenneth Branagh, a noted Shakespearean actor, with a discussion of Shakespeare’s

“Twelfth Night”: “What a privilege and what a teacher.”

Tom Felton, who played the bullying, conflicted Draco Malfoy, says working with Jason Isaacs (Draco’s father, the vicious Lucius) was a privilege. “He’d be telling me a story right before a scene, and as he’s saying, ‘I was working with Scorsese on this film ...’ we’d hear ‘Action!” and boom, he turns straightaway into this insane person — literally Lucifer himself. ... I just soaked in everything he did and then tried to display it myself.”

The production section of “Page to Screen” is fantastic.

There are fold-out pages of brooms, Death Eaters’ masks and dragons.

Want to make the wand of

a Death Eater? You can start by seeing production sketches of them. Concept designer Adam Brockbank says of the evil Voldemort’s wand, “I had this idea that it was carved to resemble a bone, probably a human one.”

For the kitten plates on the walls of Dolores Umbridge’s office, they filmed 40 cats.

“We had a fantastic all-day session ... filming kittens dressed in knighted wool cardigans, jackets and ruffs; on the ‘beach’ with sand castles and seashells; and, of course, wearing a witch’s hat and sitting in an empty cauldron,” says set decorator Stephenie McMillan.

Jany Termine, costume designer for “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” provides

her insights: “A character’s clothing must have just as much history as the character who wears them.” For example, Emma Watson’s multitiered dress for the Yule ball was “really special. It took three months just to make this one dress alone, including twelve meters (thirtynine feet) of chiffon.” It “was the real start of her being an object of desire for Ron.” Termine had no problem dressing Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint). “Ron’s mother, Molly, loves to use all these colors (brown, orange and red) in the knitted sweaters and scarves she unrelentingly bestows on her children.”

The only thing lacking in “Page to Screen” is an index.

New Shakespeare film ruffles academic feathers

By Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press

NEW YORK — O, for a juicy literary dispute that would pit scholars against Hollywood, with charges of snobbery, materialism, elitism and opportunism flying around like so many slings and arrows — not to mention the specter of young minds poisoned by the character assassination of a hero.

Heard about the new movie “Anonymous”?

The film by Roland Emmerich, a director better known for apocalyptic blockbusters than period dramas, opened Friday. But already, its contention that Shakespeare was a simpleton, a fraud and perhaps a murderer who never wrote a word of those great plays has set off some epic sniping of which the Bard himself might be proud.

“A new low for Hollywood,” says Columbia University professor James Shapiro. “Completely grotesque,” says Stanley Wells, of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Britain.

Emmerich says he’s been called names, and screenwriter John Orloff says one

memory of last night.

Jane had a Halloween party and invited almost everyone in the school. I don’t think she had ever even met half of the people that she had invited. I was cute as a cupcake, literally. Jane was an angel. After we had eaten blood and guts (spaghetti and red sauce), it was time for hide-and-go-seek tag in the dark. Two boys, one dressed as a pumpkin and one in a retro costume, were “it.” Jane and I decided to hide in the graveyard near her house. After counting to 100 they went out to find us. I think that the pumpkin saw Jane’s halo slide behind the cemetery gate. As he neared us he told us to be careful because if you stand on a grave the dead would grab you and pull you in with them. We clearly didn’t

critic even suggested he be taken “to the tower” — the Tower of London, that is.

Orloff dismisses Shapiro’s complaints as “frothing at the mouth.”

Not that the authorship dispute is new, of course.

It has been around since at least the mid-19th century (even that time is in dispute).

Nor is the film’s main contention new, that the actual author was the Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere: There’s a whole “Oxfordian” school of thought, along with a “Baconian” school (Francis Bacon). Some think it was playwright Christopher Marlowe, or even Queen Elizabeth I herself.

But Emmerich’s film goes further, pitting the story of Shakespeare in a political context involving a fight for succession using the plays as propaganda. As for Elizabeth: the Virgin Queen? Not so much. (The film suggests she had several children secretly, and one of them was born of incest.)

Also, some scholars are disturbed by the film’s dismissal of complaints of factual errors with an “it’s only a movie” explanation. “It’s the best of both worlds for believe the myth so I placed my hands on the cupcake wrapper on my hips and Jane rolled her eyes. He shrugged and dared us to do it.

“Sure,” Jane spoke up.

Now I was starting to become scared. He handed us a plastic fork. “Put this in the ground next to the grave that you stood on,” he started to run away and stopped, “If you even make it that far.”

Jane looked at me with a nervous look. That gave me some comfort to know that I wasn’t the only scared one.

“On the count of three,” Jane whispered in a shaky voice and grabbed my hand.

“One, two,” we chanted, “three!”

We took a step onto the grave of Wilbur Johnson. My heart pounded like a hammer in my chest. Butterflies invaded my stomach. Jane squeezed my hand so tight that it turned red.

Then, it happened.

Gravestones started to vibrate. A decayed hand crept out from under a gravestone.

Emmerich,” wrote Stephen Marche, a former Shakespeare professor, in The New York Times magazine. “He gets to question hundreds of years of legitimate scholarship ... because, after all, it’s just a movie.”

And then there’s the educational push into schools.

Sony, in concert with an educational company, has prepared study guides for educators on the authorship question, as with some previous films. “I don’t have a problem with Roland Emmerich drinking the Kool-Aid,” says Columbia’s Shapiro.

“But when he serves it to kids in paper cups, I do.”

The acrimony is mystifying to some of the actors.

Rhys Ifans plays de Vere, and he feels like the authorship debate isn’t even the

central point of the film.

“It’s a political thriller,” Ifans says in an interview. “It’s a historical piece, a visual banquet. And it shows the potency of the theater as a vital form of change.”

Ifans particularly enjoyed shooting the scenes where, as de Vere, he sits in a recreated Globe theater and mouths his own words as the crowd becomes entranced. He is, of course, the author, but must keep that secret.

“I was really moved by the words,” Ifans says. “We owe it to whoever wrote these plays — him, her or a group of people — to ask these questions.”

The actor mimes pulling a text down from a high shelf, and blowing off the dust.

“That’s what Roland is doing,” he says with a smile.

Running was all I could think of doing, but my legs wouldn’t move. We were being pulled in by Wilbur Johnson. Jane let out a bonechilling scream. Everything went black. I then heard the most beautiful sound I had ever heard.

As I looked down from heaven a saw the pumpkin just arriving in the morning to see what had happened to us. He picked up the plastic fork and scratched his head in disbelief. I saw what I think were Jane’s and my empty costumes. All that was left were crumbs, not a cupcake, and a devil, not an angel.

I tried to stay calm, but the hysteria rushed over me like I had just fallen into a freezing river. With no other options left I began to relentlessly scratch at the wall without cease until my hands began to bleed.

middle of a raging inferno.

When my fragile eyes finally adjusted I saw an environment unlike anything I had ever seen, or heard of. I was in the middle of a room that had no windows, no doors and no vents for fresh air to filter through. Oddest of all was the color of the strange room. It was bleached white, like that of a laboratory, or a hospital operating room, but something about the color and composition of the room kept me on edge. I began to feel uneasy, with a sense of helplessness just sitting against the solitary wall hoping for someone to rescue me. Finally, I decided to look

funding was there for different avenues for people to get help.”

Unekis says her work for the auction, described as a “latex, acrylic vintage/salvaged wallpaper and oil pastel on plaster” on DCAP’s website, is a culmination of years spent working in different media.

“Originally, I studied ceramics and then moved to multimedia and then assemblage pieces for quite awhile,” Unekis says. “I just sort of transitioned into painting. So far, it’s been intriguing enough to keep my interest up. I really enjoy it.

I like coming full circle from doing clay work and thinking about texture and color.

As you evolve as an artist, you end up pulling from your past for future work.”

Local woodworker Tim Carpenter, who repeatedly describes himself as “a hobbyist” and not an artist, says his donation, a set of three hand-crafted chairs made mainly of walnut, will be raffled off at the auction for $10 a ticket. He says this is a good way to get a different type of buyer involved with the art auction.

“This allows people of modest means to participate in some way and take a chance on winning some weird furniture that they wouldn’t usually be able to afford. Every year I make some sort of woodworking project for (the auction).

Sometimes it’s a table, chairs, benches. I’ve made some really funky dressers that look like they’ve come out of a Dr. Seuss book. I usually put a hidden compartment in my work.”

“He’s cleansing the plays, elevating them. It’s really refreshing.”

Joely Richardson plays the younger Elizabeth, and her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, plays the older queen. Richardson says the cast would sit and discuss the authorship debate during filming.

Many were swayed, she says, by various points of Emmerich’s argument: that Shakespeare was a country bumpkin with only a grammar-school education; that there’s no physical evidence of his writing (even a letter); that his daughters were illiterate; that his will didn’t refer to any plays or books.

“All of us started to get pretty convinced,” she says, including her mother, “not necessarily that it was Oxford, but that it’s definitely up for debate. There are just so many missing links.”

Stratfordians argue the Oxfordian theory is simply impossible — de Vere died in 1604, before a number of Shakespeare’s most famous plays were written. Others say not so fast: Do we really know when the plays were written, or are we guessing?

About the will, Shapiro argues that like other wills of the time, it had a separate

inventory that hasn’t been found.

One of the more eloquent cases against the Stratfordian view comes from the celebrated Shakespearean actor Mark Rylance, who was artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London for 10 years. He plays an actor in the film.

“This anger about the film is bizarre, because Shakespeare has always been a mystery,” he says. “It’s not like Emmerich is the first person to question this. Sigmund Freud, Mark Twain, many others have. And even if we knew the answer, it would still be a mystery how one person did this, how he had a greater vocabulary than anyone else.”

“But once you really look at the man from Stratford, the mystery gets larger,” Rylance said in a telephone interview from London.

“Because, what we know of him just doesn’t correspond to a writer’s life.”

Rylance is one of more than 2,000 people who’ve signed a 2007 “declaration of reasonable doubt” about the authorship. Among his cosigners: fellow actors Derek Jacobi (also in the film) and Jeremy Irons, and two U.S. Supreme Court justices.

for a way out of the confined room. After all, if I had gotten in here I had to be able to get out. Or at least that’s what I thought to myself.

I scratched over every inch, every last tile of the wall, trying to find some kind of door, or even a vent for me to claw my way out through but there was nothing. I tried to stay calm, but the hysteria rushed over me like I had just fallen into a freezing river. With no other options left I began to relentlessly scratch at the wall without cease until my hands began to bleed. With blood covering the bleach white walls I heard an eerie knock coming from the other side. Relieved I began to scream out at the top of my lungs, “Help me! Help me please! I’m trapped and I’m running out of air!”

No response.

The knocking turned to pounding as it became louder. My sense of relief turned to a sense of pure fear and panic. I tried to find

something to defend myself.

I went to the spot where I had scratched at the wall, hoping that I had chipped it in my hysteria. I searched all over, having trouble telling anything apart in the allwhite room. Finally I found a piece of tile, stained red from my blood.

“It’s better than nothing,” I said to myself.

The pounding had now grown even louder, like drums of a firing squad coming to bring judgment to their victim. I now realized that the pounding growing louder wasn’t just pounding.

Someone, something was trying to get through to me.

The bloodstained wall began to shake as chips of the once white wall began to break from it. The wall erupted sending chunks of concrete and bloody tiles hurdling through the air.

As the dust cleared I realized there was nothing there, nor had there ever been. The wall, which had been stained red with blood, never burst.

portraits unless you take precautions. First, don’t get too close to the subject or your wide-angle lens can distort your subject. Stepping back or zooming in a little will help.

When I use a wide-angle lens for environmental portraits, I place the subject toward the left or right side of the frame, check that the wide-angle setting is not distorting my subject, and then I incorporate the surrounding environment to add a contributing element to the image. Composing only on a face, with a wide-angle lens, can lead to some unnatural distortion and possibly scary results. While it might not be suitable for everyday photography, for tomorrow’s Halloween it just might be the best effect. So go ahead, make ’em scary.

RED RIBBON ART AUCTION What: The 19th annual art auction begins with a silent auction before moving on to the live auction. Artists from across the Lawrence area have donated a wide variety of art including photos, paintings, sculptures, posters and cartoons.

When: Nov. 5, 6:30 p.m.

Where: Maceli’s, 1031 N.H. Tickets: $40 advance/$50 at door (available 785-8430040 or at dcap@sunflower. com) More info about work and artists at main website: www. douglascountyaidsproject.org Carpenter, who’s been involved with the auction for 10-15 years, says he enjoys making pieces for the event because it’s a freeing experience. Because he’s not selling the pieces, he can be as off-the-wall as he wants to be.

“I can sit here,” he says, “because I’m making them for myself and giving them away, I can change my mind at the last minute and do something different. You just

stand here, stare at the stuff and just do it. That’s the fun part for me.”

Besides the worthy cause, the upbeat attitude and fellowship are another reason Carpenter attends the auction each year. He says that watching a live auction is exciting.

“I think it’s a fun event.

I don’t know whether or not you watch those shows where they sell these cars and stuff, but you can get this kind of buzz just watching this stuff. It’s fun and I enjoy it,” he said. “Contributing to this every year is a feel-good thing for sure.”

This is referred to as “depth of field” or “zone of focus.” In comparison to telephoto, macro or normal lenses, wide-angle lenses have greater focus zones at all apertures. If you want sharper photos consistently, stick with wide-angle shots and take advantage of this increased zone of focus.

xactly a month ago we asked students of all ages to craft a scary story in time for Halloween.

The stories could be about anything, but they had to begin with the sentence, “My eyes opened to a harsh, white light and I realized I wasn’t in my room where I had fallen asleep.” And they had to be 500 words or less. The resulting stories did not disappoint.

After we pored through the dream endings, the plot twists, the mysterious strangers and sometimes shocking violence, we emerged with these gems.

Three stories from three different grades that stood out.

BEHIND THE LENS

Wide-angle lenses good for where the action is

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

If you like to be in the middle of the action when it comes to taking photographs, the wide-angle lens is for you.

Camera manufacturers are even willing to help.

When you power up your typical point-and-shoot camera, it automatically activates to its wide-angle lens position. Personally, if I had to use only one lens for the rest of my life, it would be a medium-wideangle lens. I’ll bet that the majority of photographers use the wide end of their lens most of the time also, whether they’re aware of it or not. Here are some benefits and cautions to

using wide-angle lenses.

1) You’ll typically find the largest aperture on a zoom-lens camera set to its widest angle. A larger aperture can mean the difference between getting a correct exposure in low light or ending up with an unusable image. As you zoom out on most lenses, apertures get smaller, decreasing the amount of light entering your camera. By sticking to the wide-angle end of your lens, you take advantage of the widest aperture available to you. The bottom line is this: When you are in a low-light situation, you will always have a better chance at correct exposures at the wideangle lens setting, not the

telephoto end.

2) While telephoto lenses increase subject magnification, they also increase possible camera shake and subject motion. Wide-angle lenses are less susceptible to this problem. They are easier for most people to hold steady at lower shutter speeds and therefore reduce camera shake.

Taken together, these two wide-angle benefits — the ability to hand hold a camera at slower shutter speeds and having a larger aperture to let in more light — provides a photographer with beneficial knowledge in situations of low-light.

3) A wide-angle lens not only takes in a broader Please see LENSES, page 13C

Hoping to gain some muchneeded financial support while spreading art throughout the community, the Douglas County AIDS Project will present the 19th annual Red Ribbon Art Auction on Nov. 5 at Maceli’s, 1031 N.H. The event consists of a silent auction, which starts at 6:30 p.m., and a live auction beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The project’s executive director, Elena Ivanov, says this event is the main fundraising event for DCAP in 2011, and she hopes to raise $33,500 in funding. Ivanov says that in the past both the outpouring of support and the quality of artists involved with the event have been humbling.

“We’re blessed with the generosity of the artists in our area,” she says. “Their donations help keep our doors open for everyone who needs aid and education. The funds are more important this year than ever due to budget cuts.”

Ivanov says this year’s auction will feature a wide variety of art, including photographs, paintings, sculptures, posters and work by cartoonists. She says she expects about 40 piecesb of art for the live auction and 60 to 80 pieces for the silent auction.

Of special interest, Ivanov says, is the work of the auction’s featured artist, Jen Unekis who has provided a painting for the event.

“We decided to feature her,” Ivanov says, “because she works not just as an artist, but also doing a lot of work around the community. The piece we’ve chosen is called ‘Hill,’ and it’s currently displayed at Third Planet downtown. It’s very innovative in terms of how manyw things she used to create this abstract work.”

Unekis says she feels honored to be featured in this auction and that this issue in particular is important to her on a personal level.

“I had two roommates in school who ended up being diagnosed with HIV and AIDS,” Unekis says, “and it’s something that I think we’ve had a tendency to sort of forget — that people are living it still and always.
