How Lawrence stacks up in property taxes

April 15 may be the day that frequently gets circled on cal-endars as tax day, but when it comes to local taxes, the real action happens during the summer season.

Cities, counties and school districts are all now crunching

numbers to determine what property tax rates will need to be for the coming year. It is budget time, and there is no shortage of big-ticket items looming that could have major property tax implications.

At Lawrence City Hall, there’s talk of a $30 million police headquarters building, at the Douglas County Court-

house a multimillion-dollar public safety radio replace-ment program is under dis-cussion, and at the Lawrence school district, leaders have been figuring on a potential bond issue for school im-provements. With all that, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at how Lawrence and Douglas County

stack up when it comes to mat-ters of property taxes. Here’s a look at several issues, with most numbers coming from a report compiled by the Kansas League of Municipalities:

A FAMILY TORN APART

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos

AARON POLSON WALKS WITH HIS 6-MONTH-OLD SON, ELLIOT, PAST A ROW OF FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS picturing his wife, Aimee Ziegler, who on April 2 was killed when she drove a car in front of a train, June 7 in their Lawrence home. Ziegler battled postpartum psycho-sis and depression for eight years.

Moving days: Kan. legislators relocating

TOPEKA — Redistricting may have produced a brief surge of business for moving companies.

At least a half-dozen legislators recently moved to establish resi-dency in newly drawn districts.

The strategy has produced some criticism.

Caleb Correll, a Democratic can-didate for the state House from Ottawa, called new Ottawan TerriLois Gregory, a Republican who had been a legislator from Baldwin City, a “carpetbagger.”

But Secretary of State Kris Kobach said Gregory’s pivot into another district is permissible.

He said the Legislature hasn’t im-posed any time limits on how long a person must have lived in the dis-trict before attempting to run for office from there.

Moving boxes were hauled out after June 7 when a panel of three federal judges issued its order, re-drawing the boundaries for con-gressional, legislative and State Board of Education districts after the Legislature failed to fulfill this responsibility that comes every 10 years to adjust districts to accom-modate population shifts.

The new lines erased a half-century of gerrymandering and

Mother takes own life after suffering from postpartum disorder for years

Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of stories on postpartum mood disorders. Tomorrow: Residents share their personal experiences.

Aaron Polson kissed his wife good night, and she said, “That’s the

last kiss.” He asked why she said that.“Well, we are going to be

in prison tomorrow,” she replied.

Her comment was surpris-ing but familiar.

His wife, 40-year-old Aimee Ziegler, a Free State High School guidance counselor, had struggled with postpar-tum psychosis and depression for eight years. She was first hospitalized for the illness after the birth of the couple’s first son, Owen, in 2003, and she had her first psychotic episode after the birth of their second son, Max, in 2006.

At the end of last March, the symptoms of her illness

had returned. He knew the signs well: dilated eyes and icy cold fingers. She would rub her fingers together and play with the back of her hair. She feared people were out to get her and that she would lose her job and go to jail.

Four months earlier, Ziegler had given birth to their third son, Elliot. She loved being a mom and longed for more children despite her illness.

“She never accepted her diagnosis. She would call it postpartum stuff or issues or trouble. I don’t think she ever knew how bad it was,” Polson said.

After kissing his wife, he slept in the bedroom with his older sons, who were feeling restless. The boys’ bedroom was underneath the couple’s bedroom where Ziegler was sleeping.

“I woke up so many times that night just listening like, ‘Is she awake?’ I had checked on her before I went to bed, and she was asleep,” he said.

Is there a Dad Divide to go with Mommy Wars?

NEW YORK — Hey, Mr. Mom.What’s up, Workaholic?Whether they say it out loud or

acknowledge it at all, that work-home divide traditionally reserved for the Mommy Wars can also rear between dads who go off to the of-fice every day and the kind in the trenches with the kids.

There are bound to be rifts, given the growing league of dads staying home at least part time. But do the paths of work dads and home dads intertwine enough to make them care quite so deeply as the ladies? How exactly are they perceived, not by researchers or journalists, but by each other?

“To be a stay-at-home dad re-quires a lot of confidence in who you are,” said Paxton Helms, 41, in Washington, D.C.

of 30,000 people or more. Here’s how Lawrence’s city property tax rate stacks up: (And remember, a mill is $1 in property tax for every, $1,000 of assessed valua-tion. But don’t worry, we’ll talk about that more in a bit.)

1. Overland Park: 12.814 mills

2. Leawood: 24.393 mills3. Olathe: 24.689 mills4. Shawnee: 24.732 mills5. Salina: 26.272 mills6. Lawrence: 28.612 mills7. Lenexa: 29.635 mills8. Wichita: 32.360 mills9. Topeka: 32.928 mills10. Hutchinson: 41.412

mills11. Manhattan: 42.156

mills12. Kansas City: 45.267

mills13. Leavenworth: 49.373

mills

CountiesFor our county com-

parison, we look at the five largest counties in the state, plus Riley County, home to Kansas State University.

1. Johnson County: 17.7 mills

2. Sedgwick County: 29.428 mills

3. Riley County: 34.782 mills

4. Douglas County: 35.773 mills

5. Wyandotte County: 36.399 mills

6. Shawnee: 43.165 mills

School districtsWhen it comes to prop-

erty taxes, it is a fact school districts are the big players. State law essentially makes property taxes the only funding source available to school districts, while cities and counties both can rely on sales taxes. That makes property taxes for school districts a frequent com-plaint for property owners. But just how does Law-rence’s school property taxes stack up against other large-city districts? Well, we just happen to have this list:

1. USD 345 Seaman To-peka: 51.237 mills

2. USD 450 Shawnee Heights Topeka: 52.004 mills

3. USD 437 Auburn Washburn Topeka: 53.152 mills

4. USD 512 Shawnee Mission Johnson County: 56.153 mills

5. USD 501 Topeka: 56.307 mills

6. USD 259 Wichita: 57.017 mills

7. USD 203 Piper Kan-sas City: 57.988 mills

8. USD 497 Lawrence: 59.438 mills

9. USD 500 Kansas City: 68.248 mills

10. USD 202 Turner Kansas City: 69.463 mills

11. USD 233 Olathe: 69.924 mills

12. USD 229 Blue Valley Johnson County: 72.828 mills

Total tax ratesWe could make you get

out your abacus and add all this up, but that seems mean. Here’s a look at the total mill levies — mean-ing city, county, school district and other miscel-laneous property taxes — for the 13 largest cities in the state:

1. Overland Park: 118.8412. Wichita: 120.9063. Salina: 124.6144. Shawnee: 124.6465. Lawrence: 125.1606. Olathe: 129.7797. Leawood: 130.0908. Lenexa: 130.4189. Manhattan: 131.68610. Leavenworth: 144.67711. Topeka: 151.27012. Hutchinson: 165.02213. Kansas City: 178.402

The Average Joe testHere’s the thing about

property taxes: They’re all relative. Your total tax bill depends on both the mill levy rate and the value of your house. Property val-ues, obviously, vary quite a bit from community to community. But beyond those factors, there’s also the average wages in your community, which help determine how much most folks can reasonably pay in taxes. So, this test tries to combine all those factors. What we’ve done is take the average home price for each city as determined by the 2010 American Com-munity Survey, which is a product of the U.S. Census Bureau. We then looked at the average wage paid to people in each commu-nity. With wages, we used American Community Sur-vey data that represents the average earnings of full-time, year-round work-ers. That’s our attempt to try to factor out the large number of student workers in Lawrence, who normally are paid quite a bit less than full-time workers. The dol-lar numbers below are the taxes paid on an average-valued home. Then we calculated how large of a percentage those taxes are compared with an Average Joe (or Jane’s) annual earn-ings. Here’s a look:

1. Wichita: $1,547 in tax-es; 4.0 percent of earnings

2. Olathe: $2,884; 4.3 percent

3. Salina: $1,572; 4.5 per-cent

4. Topeka: $1,638; 4.5 percent

5. Hutchinson: $1,639; 4.9 percent

6. Kansas City: $1,938; 5.1 percent

7. Lenexa: $3,226; 5.2 percent

8. Overland Park: $3,043; 5.5 percent

9. Shawnee: $2,846; 5.6 percent

10. Leavenworth: $2,066; 5.7 percent

11. Lawrence: $2,488; 5.8 percent

12. Manhattan: $2,480; 7.1 percent

13. Leawood: $5,753; 8.3 percent

Phantom cow hides near golf course

BONNER SPRINGS (AP) — A cow has taken up residence at a northeast Kansas golf course since escaping a cattle truck ac-cident six weeks ago.

Nicknamed Bessie, the animal spends its time hiding in the woods sur-rounding the Sunflower Hills Golf Course in Bon-ner Springs, leaving be-hind droppings and drink-ing from the ponds.

Try as they might, no one has managed to catch the cow.

Course golf profession-al Jeff Johnson told The Kansas City Star that she’s “one happy cow.”

Bessie also is a survi-vor. The cow was one of dozens being transported from a Carrollton, Mo., farm to a Kansas feed yard in late April when the truck drove off an Inter-state 70 bridge. The truck tore up nearly 200 feet of guardrail, fell to the street below the bridge and burst into flames, accord-ing to the Kansas Highway Patrol. The injured driver died two weeks later.

Bessie was the only cow to escape. After spend-ing some time hiding be-hind a stone wall near the course, she emerged a few days later for food and water.

The Bonner Springs Po-lice Department, Wyan-dotte County park rangers and the course’s mainte-nance staff descended en masse but failed to cap-ture her.

Johnson said hoofprints suggest that Bessie seems content to hang out in the leafy outskirts of the property.

“I think it’s scared of the greens,” he said. “It takes a couple steps and then it backs off.”

A cattleman who is a friend of the course of-fered up a pen to cap-ture the cow. The pen is equipped with a bucket of corn, water and a salt lick.

“We think the deer are eating more of the corn than the cow is,” Johnson said, laughing. He added: “We think it’s running with the deer at night to keep from getting too lonely.”

Law professor: Tax cuts have

winners, losersMartin Dickinson, a

Kansas University law professor and nationally recognized authority in tax law, said Saturday the tax cuts Gov. Sam Brown-back signed into law will benefit the wealthy, pro-duce revenue shortfalls and possibly prompt gam-ing of the tax system.

Asked if the tax cuts would lead to economic

prosperity, as Brown-back has promised, Dickinson said the tax cuts were pushed by supply-side economists.

“Personally, I’m not much of a believer,” Dick-inson told a crowd of about 100 people at the Douglas County Demo-cratic Party meeting at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt.

Brownback, a conserva-tive Republican, made tax cuts the centerpiece of the 2012 legislative session.

The bill he signed will cut the individual income tax rates of 6.45 percent, 6.25 percent and 3.5 per-cent to just two rates at 4.9 percent and 3 percent.

It will also eliminate state income taxes for the owners of partnerships, S

corporations and limited liability companies. In addition, it exempts from taxes income from farms, royalties on minerals, oil, gas copyrights and pat-ent, and real estate rental income.

“The ramifications of this are really something,” Dickinson said about the business tax changes.

For example, he said, in a partnership of phy-sicians, the physicians won’t pay state income taxes under the new law, but the nurses, lab techs and clerical workers will continue to pay income taxes.

Brownback has said the changes will stimulate the economy like an adrena-line shot to the heart. He said that the tax cuts will create 22,900 new jobs, give $2 billion more in dis-posable income to Kan-sans and increase popula-tion by 35,740, in addition to normal population growth.

Garden tour aims to grow awareness of plants’ potential

Johanna Mehl and Nici Ashner are textiles ma-jors at Kansas University. But textiles majors or not, they spend a lot of time gardening.

Mehl and Ashner tend plants that produce dyes: sunflowers, indigo flowers and madder. These plants and many others are cultivated by KU students at the Na-tive Medicinal Plant Research Garden, which had its annual public tour Satur-day.

The medicinal garden is a part of the KU Native Medicinal Plant Research Program. About 80 people came to the two-hour tour.

“There were people milling around before I even got here,” said Kelly Kindscher, a professor of environmental studies, who led the tour. “We’re really pleased that we now have something the public is appreciating and people are coming out.”

In addition to being excited about the turn-out, Kindscher was also excited about the re-search program’s recent discovery. In March, the program found new com-pounds in a native plant called the wild tomatillo. The compounds have been proven to reduce cancer tumor size. The tomatillo is just one shin-

ing example that plants have value, Kindscher said, and there are many oth-ers. And he hoped people would walk away with greater awareness about how plants can be

used.One such person was

Seth Cole, who has a gar-den at home chock-full of tomatoes, okra and vines.

“I’ve been really into gardening, and obviously the benefits of that are im-mediate; you see the food, but this is more in-depth study,” Cole said. “It‘s kind of neat to be able to identify a wild plant and know what it can do.”

Felines and friends

gather for cat club’s annual show

In a show shelter sits a white cat named Bipolar Bear, a Maine coon with a long body and a shiny coat. Owner Chris Buck scoops her out to pet her. The cat is pleased, purring.

Bipolar Bear was one of 87 cats com-peting in Saturday’s annual Kansas City Midwest Cat Club Show at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2120 Harper St.

“I think the day has gone really well,” said Amy Hanson, manager of the show. “We didn’t get quite the numbers we hoped we’d get as far as entries, but the competition is good.”

There were four classes of cats com-peting: kittens (up to 8 months), pure-bred adults, alters (purebred adults that have been spayed or neutered) and household cats.

Those competing accrue points throughout the show season by going to different shows across the country. Those points go toward awards in the region and possibly awards from the American Cat Fanciers Association Awards from ACFA are called Inter-American awards.

SOUND OFFOn streets with marked bike lanes (e.g. 15th, 19th) is

it legal for two bicyclists to ride next to each other — one in the bike lane and one in the car lane? Or are they supposed to follow each other so that both are in the bike line?

Megan Gilliland, the city’s commu-nications manager,

said: According to state law, “Persons riding bi-cycles upon a roadway shall not ride more than two abreast, except on paths or parts of roadways set aside for the exclu-sive use of bicycles.” On routes where a bike lane is marked, bicyclists should remain within the marked bike lane.

The tax cuts, Brown-back said, will “help make Kansas the best place in America to start and grow a small business.” The Brownback administra-tion has said the new law will leave $1.1 billion in the pockets of Kansans during a two-year stretch.

“My faith is in the people of Kansas, not the govern-ment’s ability to tax and re-distribute,” Brownback said when he signed the law last month. “They know better how to spend their money, and I believe they will do incredible things with it.”

But Dickinson pointed to estimates by the non-partisan Kansas Legisla-tive Research Department that show the effects of the tax cuts will short the state treasury by $4.5 bil-lion in revenue over the next six years. The cur-rent state budget is about $6.6 billion annually.

And the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy has stated that the bottom 20 percent of in-come earners will pay more taxes while the top 1 percent will see the great-est percentage tax cut.

Low-income Kansans will be hit by other aspects of Brownback’s tax bill, which does away with the food sales tax refund and

a property tax refund for renters. Kansas will join Alabama and Mississippi as the only states that charge sales tax on food and pro-vide no food sales tax rebate for poor people, he said.

Dickinson said that in discussions he has had with two law firms, lawyers pre-dict “the gaming here will be massive” because busi-nesses will reorganize to avoid paying state taxes.

In addition, income earned by independent contractors will be tax ex-empt.

“There will be employ-ers in Kansas who will have employees come to them and say, ‘I want to be an independent contrac-tor,’” Dickinson said.

A person in the audi-ence asked what can be done about this law.

State Sen. Marci Fran-cisco, D-Lawrence, said that even if opponents of the tax plan picked up leg-islative seats in the next election and were able to amend the law, “the more difficult thing is having a governor who will sign those changes.”

Ed Quick, chairman of the Douglas County Dem-ocratic Party, said it may take having to elect a new governor in the next guber-natorial election in 2014.

“The more people in Kansas learn about this, there will be an uprising, perhaps,” he said.

you strive for when you’re showing a cat,” Hanson said.

Hanson started showing cats 10 years ago. Her first was in the household pet category, a rescue cat that was white with a brown tabby splotch on his back and tail.

“You don’t have to have a purebred cat to compete in shows,” Hanson said. “A lot of people get in-volved with the household pet class and graduate into pure breeds.”

There were 19 breeds at Saturday’s show. Among them was Brisa (pro-nounced Bree Sa), an Aus-tralian Mist, one of 12 in the United States. Gary Morke and his wife, Can-dy Rishavis, are her own-ers.

Brisa had won second and third place in the kitten category. It was her first show, and she

was reacting well — a sign she’ll be showing again.

“Some cats really thrive on this; they love people handling them,” Rishavis said. “I’ve got a couple at home you can’t show. .. They just don’t thrive in this environment, and we don’t show if they don’t want to come.”

Most of the cats seemed to enjoy the show as much as their owners. It was only Bipo-lar Bear’s second show, but he was as content and comfortable as if he were at home.

“He thinks this is cool,” Buck said. “It’s fun. He purrs. He likes everything about this.”

Road work planned this week

Official touts business benefits of K-7 freeway plan

The state’s long-term plan to turn Kansas High-way 7 into a freeway may face some opposition from farther south, but a devel-opment official said Thurs-day that it would mean only good things for Leav-enworth County.

Steve Jack, executive di-rector of the Leavenworth County Development Cor-poration, said at an LCDC board meeting Thursday that faster-moving traf-fic on K-7 would make it easier for the organization to attract new businesses.

“It is important for us to have a free flow of traffic,” Jack said.

One of LCDC’s struggles in convincing companies to come to Leavenworth County is alleviating their fears that it’s just too far from the heart of the Kansas City area, Jack said. Better access from the south, he said, would certainly help.

“Not only do they not consider us a part of the metro area, which we do,” Jack said, “but as a part of it, we’re the part that’s too hard to get to.”

In fact, later in the meet-ing, Jack said one prospec-tive business, located on the Missouri side of the Kansas City area, had ruled out Leavenworth County as a new spot because it would make for too long a com-mute for its employees.

“It would have been a great project,” Jack said.

Jack spoke after two planners from the Kansas Department of Transpor-tation gave LCDC board members an update on the K-7 plans, which have run into opposition from the cities of Bonner Springs and Olathe this year.

Planner Thomas Dow said the highway was important to other com-munities along its path, too, as the only highway to connect Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Johnson and Miami counties.

“You could almost imagine it as a spine for the Kansas side of the metro area,” Dow said.

One problem, though, is that some Bonner Springs leaders think that taking out the highway’s stop-lights in favor of inter-changes would result in fewer visitors to the busi-nesses along the road.

Bonner Springs officials began questioning their in-volvement after Olathe ear-lier this year pulled out of a 2006 agreement with the state to support the freeway plan. Planner David Gurss told LCDC board members that Olathe could come around and support the plan with some different conditions, but even if that doesn’t happen, it would have little effect on traffic on the highway’s north end.

“KDOT still has the position that a freeway is needed through the north end, even if Olathe doesn’t want to move forward,” Gurss said.

LAWRENCE ARTIST STAN HERD PAINTS during Van Go’s What Floats Your Boat fundraiser. Herd then donated the painting to be auctioned off at the fun-draiser, which raised an estimated $100,000 for the program.

What Floats Your Boat fundraiser for Van Go

draws hundredsHailey Freese owes

much to Van Go, a local arts-based, job-training program that helps at-risk youths.

Freese, who is 18 years old, said the program taught her responsibil-ity, determination and teamwork. She gained confidence, work expe-rience and a family of friends.

“It has changed my life,” she said.

It was for the Van Go program that about 550 people gathered Saturday night at Clinton Lake Ma-rina. Eliza Nichols, event organizer, guessed that the event had raised a re-cord $100,000 in funds.

At the event, called What Floats Your Boat, organizers auctioned off 22 different items, rang-ing from paintings to parasols, bird baths to benches.

“I really, really like this event because it’s about the community more than it’s about Van Go,” Freese said. “It’s about getting people together and sup-porting a good cause.”

Program participants built and painted the ma-jority of the items, with some selling for as much as $4,100. Freese said that see-ing how much people are willing to pay for art pro-vides a boost of confidence.

“It’s really cool to see your artwork being sold for that much money,” she said.

While program mem-bers made many of the items, others were donat-ed, such as a piece painted during the event by local artist Stan Herd.

Herd said that he was glad to help a program

that gets youths in touch with their artistic sides.

“I am amazed at all the things Van Go does,” he said.

Community donations did not stop at auction items. Local Burger do-nated vegetarian food for the meal, and stores like Kohl’s and Office Depot provided employees as some of the 50 volunteers who worked the evening.

All of the money raised goes back into the pro-gram, located at 715 N.J. Van Go currently serves 22 people ages 14-21. All participants either live be-low poverty, have mental diagnoses or are special-needs students. Much of the program focuses on woodworking, painting and mosaic creation. Van Go, which is in its 15th year, provides a social worker as well as a cre-ative director to help par-ticipants and direct them in the creation of their art.

Freese said the pro-gram teaches teamwork and how to give con-structive criticism. Par-ticipants often work in teams, and those who stand out become team leaders. Freese, who has participated in the pro-gram for two years, is one of these leaders, some-thing she says she will put on her resume when heading off to Johnson County Community Col-lege next year.

2 inmates escape from Winfield facility

WINFIELD — Two inmates have escaped from the Winfield Correctional Facil-ity in south-central Kansas.

The Kansas Department of Corrections said in a news re-lease that 52-year-old Robert Cook and 48-year-old Frank Crutchfield were identified as missing Saturday afternoon.

The 5-foot-10-inch, 225 pound Cook was last seen driving a white one-ton box truck used to transport food from a kitchen to the inmate dining room. He has convictions for burglary and theft out of Harvey County, Cowley County and Butler County, aggravated inde-cent solicitation out of Pratt County and an aggravated escape conviction from 1983 out of Sedgwick County.

The 5-foot-11-inch, 231 pound Crutchfield is serving time for multiple burglaries, thefts and criminal damage to property out of Sedgwick County and an aggravated escape from custody in 1983 from Shawnee County.

I really, really like this event because it’s about the com-munity more than it’s about Van Go.”

He became one about four years ago, when his daughter was 3 months old. A son followed and he now takes part-time con-tracts as an international development consultant, with flexible hours. His wife also works part time.

“The strangest thing that ever happened to me as a (stay-at-home dad) was riding on the Metro with both my kids and a guy ask-ing me, ‘So where’s Mom?’ I couldn’t even think why in the world somebody would be asking me that question, so I couldn’t even muster an answer,” he said.

Suspicion over wives, layoffs

Other at-home dads worry about jealousy from working brethren (What are they really thinking about all that time spent with the women?). Or suspicion that they’re out of work. And dads on both sides of the divide report the occasional cold shoulder.

“It seems that they try to avoid me or don’t want to talk about what life is like for them,” said dad-of-one Don-ald DeLong, 55, a Bloomfield Township, Mich., attorney who acknowledges a “deep-ly rooted need to work and ‘earn a living.’”

“When I do talk to them, the topics stay guy-safe. That is, sports, cars. After all we’re both still guys. We don’t talk about that sensi-tive touchy-feely stuff.”

Other at-home dads, those by choice or pushed out of the job market, said they’ve endured some snark, but they consider it more of a dad-on-dad discomfort than a serious divide.

Martin Weckerlein, 33, is among them. He simply doesn’t have the time to care. He was a tank com-mander in the Germany military, then a bank work-er for six years before he gave it up to be an at-home for his three kids, ages 8, 3 and 9 months. The family lives in suburban Washing-ton, D.C., where his wife

has a government job.“When I’m with oth-

er dads who are my age, whether they work or stay at home, they tend to be pretty accepting and even curious as to how that works that we can afford me staying home, what I do during the day with the kids, and they say it must be nice to have that time,” he said.

“When I am talking with men who aren’t fathers or who are older, their ques-tions usually focus on what my career goals are after I am done being home with my kids. They seem to as-sume this is only a tempo-rary thing for our family, a pause in my career for a few years, instead of an investment in our family,” Weckerlein explained.

The stereotypesYes, Mr. Mom comes

up, the newest iteration in the shape of Chris Rock and his goofy band of dads with infants strapped to their chests in the movie “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.”

It’s been nearly 30 years since Michael Keaton was that guy on screen, setting the kitchen on fire and mak-ing his kids miserable in “Mr. Mom,” but the lingering moniker feels more like yes-terday for Weckerlein and other at-home dads.

“I hate that phrase, Mr. Mom. I can’t imagine my wife going into the office and saying, ‘Hi everyone,

it’s Mrs. Dad,’” said Dan Zevin, a humorist, at-home dad to two and author of a new book, “Dan Gets a Minivan: Life at the Inter-section of Dude and Dad.”

In Boston, 32-year-old Nolan Kido is no stereo-type. He’s the exhausted at-home dad of an 11-week-old daughter as his wife completes her dental education. He deferred work on his doctoral de-gree in accounting after doing some recession-era math: his earning power versus her earning power in the face of more than $360,000 in student loans.

“At the very beginning they were a little weirded out, like what do we talk about, what’s the common themes, but now the im-pression that I get more is actually jealousy,” he said of his working dad friends. “It’s not, like, mean kinds of things but just, ‘Oh, I wish I could stay home’ or ‘Oh, I’d love to go to that park.’”

The number of at-home dads who are primary caregivers for their chil-dren reached nearly 2 million in 2010, or one in 15 fathers, according to one estimate. Al Watts, president of the National At-Home Dad Network, believes a more accurate count is about 7 million, using broader definitions that include part-time workers. That amounts to one-third of married fa-thers in the U.S.

Most, he said, want to be there, as opposed to the kind who never thought about it until the ax fell on their careers. And more often than women, they do earn a bit of income at the same time, he said.

Could they do it?Watts, in Omaha, has

been home with kids for a decade, since the oldest of his four was a baby. He sees a subtle shift in at-titudes emanating from working dads.

“Eight years ago, one of my wife’s customers, when he found out that I was an at-home dad he said, ‘Oh you know, I’d re-ally love to do that.’ I knew what he really meant was that he assumed he could then just hang out at home and play video games and watch TV and not have to go to work anymore,” Watts said.

“Now when I have those conversations, they’re generally like, ‘You know, I really wish I could do that. But then they find out I have four kids and they’re like, ‘Well, I couldn’t do that!’”

The raised eyebrows, pregnant pauses and need to hide their real inter-ests — shopping, crossing guard duty, laundry — for more generic work-dad friendly fare is tedious sometimes for Trey Park-er, 32, in the Atlanta sub-urb of Alpharetta.

With a full-time work-ing wife and two boys, ages 2 and 9 months to care for, a trip to Costco holds more allure than last night’s game or chat-ter about sales quotas.

“It’s a little harder to speak with guys who are corporate dads,” Parker said. “At Christmas par-ties and stuff like that, there’s absolutely noth-ing in common with them. They’re either talking about sports or whatever sales or whatnot they have going on at the office, and you can’t comment on any of that stuff. You’re natu-rally drawn to the women because they’re talking about the kids and the family.”

resulted in dozens of leg-islators occupying the same districts and many districts without incum-bents. And the judges made no change to the noon June 11 deadline to file for a candidacy.

Gregory’s 10th House District was placed en-tirely in Douglas County and became less Republi-can than before.

Gregory said the move to the 59th District was natural for personal and political reasons. She had represented part of Frank-lin County before and was “trying to be a good team player with the Republi-can Party,” she said.

She said that means she had helped line up a GOP candidate in the 10th — Erica Anderson of Bald-win City who will face Democrat John Wilson of Lawrence in the Novem-ber general election.

Gregory also said that moving to Ottawa will allow her next year to move into an apartment complex called Washburn Towers that is reserved for people 55 and older.

Moving right alongThe new district maps

prompted several other leg-islators to pack their bags.

Melanie Meier, a Demo-crat who represented the 40th House District in Leav-enworth, was placed in the 42nd with state Rep. Con-nie O’Brien, R-Tonganoxie, under the new map. She has decided to move to the 41st, also in Leavenworth, where she will live across the street from a home she is remod-eling. In that district, Meier will face the winner of the GOP matchup between state Rep. Jana Goodman and Mark Preisinger, both of Leavenworth.

State Rep. Clark Shultz moved from Lindsborg to McPherson to stay in the 73rd House District. The new maps had drawn his Lindsborg residence into the 108th District. He is using the McPherson ad-

dress of an apartment that was recently leased to his school-teacher daughter.

Another move that has drawn attention is in Hutchinson where vet-eran legislator Jan Pauls awoke June 8 to find her home had been placed in a different district than the one she had been repre-senting.

So Pauls, a Democrat, filed back in her old dis-trict using the address of a church she and her hus-band, Ron, had bought and were renovating.

That move has been opposed by the Kansas Equality Coalition, a gay rights group that has often opposed Pauls for her po-litical stances against ho-mosexuals. Thomas Witt, executive director of the KEC, said Pauls is falsely claiming that she lives in the church; Pauls says oth-erwise, and the issue will be considered in a candi-dacy challenge before the State Objections Board on Tuesday. The board is composed of Kobach, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer and Attorney General Derek Schmidt, all Republicans.

Another area of contro-versy that will be hashed out before the Objections Board is a challenge over Kobach’s decision to reas-sign about 80 candidates into different districts from the ones they had filed. This was done to match their new districts under the new maps. Some have said Kobach doesn’t have the authority to do that.

John Alcala, who is run-ning for the 57th House Dis-trict, said the Republican in the race, Aimee Rosenow, filed in the 53rd District. When the maps were re-drawn, Kobach placed her in the 57th District.

Alcala said that isn’t right.

“Election laws should be applied fairly and evenly and not based on who you know in high places,” Alcala said in a letter to Kobach. His let-ter included a photograph from Rosenow’s website that shows her and Ko-bach together at a political function.

THIS UNDATED IMAGE provided by Lionsgate shows Chris Rock, left, and Tom Lennon with children in a scene from the movie “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” A growing league of dads are staying home, at least part time. Some at-home dads, those by choice or pushed out of the job market, said they’ve endured some snark by their working brethren, but they consider it more of a dad-on-dad discomfort than a serious divide.

“She had taken a sleep-ing pill that was pre-scribed for her.”

Then, he woke up to the sound of someone pounding on the front door of their home. It was the police. Ziegler had died about 2:20 a.m. She drove her car around some crossing gates and onto the railroad tracks, where she was hit by a train in North Lawrence.

!"!"!Postpartum psychosis

is a rare illness compared with occurrences of post-partum depression or anxi-ety. Postpartum psychosis is diagnosed in about 1 to 2 of every 1,000 deliveries, and of those only 4 percent go on to commit infanti-cide or suicide.

“Aimee is a rare statis-tic,” said Meeka Centi-mano, a therapist who is a founder of the Pregnancy and Postpartum Resource Center in Kansas City.

Among symptoms of psychosis are delusions or strange beliefs, hal-lucination, hyperactivity, paranoia and rapid mood swings. Women who suf-fer a psychotic episode are experiencing a break from reality. In their psy-chotic episode, the delu-sions make sense to them and seem meaningful.

“Psychosis can be tricky. There can be times when mom seems really connected, and then there are periods where she becomes very disoriented and isn’t making sense. It can be really hard to know what you are look-ing at,” Centimano said.

She said psychosis and depression are different illnesses.

“A woman doesn’t be-come depressed and then becomes so severely de-pressed that she becomes psychotic. They are two parallel paths, and they are very different. It’s different mechanisms in their brains.”

!"!"!During an interview

in his Lawrence home, Polson talked frankly about his relationship with his wife, her illness and how he’s coping with her death.

“I cried a lot, especially early on,” Polson said. “I yelled a lot — not around the kids. I would have grandma watch the kids, and then I would get in the car and go out to the lake and just yell.”

Polson, 37, said he met Ziegler through a mu-tual friend, and he had to pursue her because she was working full time and coaching several sports.

“It was the old-fash-ioned I had to chase her down,” he said. “Aimee was a very driven person. She was go, go, go all of the time.”

She was from St. Louis and had earned a degree from the University of Missouri and then earned a master’s degree in social work at Kansas Univer-sity. During her last year at KU, she was an intern at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center where she helped write a grant to start a WRAP program. WRAP, which stands for Working to Recognize Alternative Possibilities, focuses on bringing mental health services to schools.

Polson grew up in Clay Center, a small, central Kansas town, and earned a bachelor’s degree from Kansas State Univer-sity, and then moved to Lawrence where he first worked at Hastings as a department manager.

After dating a couple of years, they married on June 16, 2001. By then, Pol-son was an English teacher at McLouth High School, and Ziegler was a WRAP counselor at Free State High School. They enjoyed their work, traveling and spending time with family. Then, they decided to start one of their own.

!"!"!Their first son, Owen,

was born Aug. 8, 2003.Ziegler’s close friend

Heather Coates recalled meeting her for lunch while she was on mater-nity leave.

“She was so happy and so excited to be a moth-er,” she said. “Aimee was always a good storyteller, and there was lots of laughter.”

But her mood gradually changed. Coates noticed she wasn’t smiling as much, and she would be at a loss for words. It be-came hard for her to take care of Owen.

“It was like she couldn’t respond to all of his needs,” Coates said.

Six months after Owen was born, Polson noticed that his wife was anxious and had trouble sleeping and focusing. That May, he graduated from KU with a master’s degree, and that’s when he noticed a signifi-cant difference.

“I remember walking down the hill, but she really wasn’t there. It was surreal because it was suppose to be a celebra-tion, but it wasn’t,” he said.

The symptoms esca-lated from there, Polson said. She told him that a co-worker was out to get her and the person was going to get her fired and make her lose her li-cense. She shared suicidal thoughts.

“This is tough because this is what happened,” he said. “But she talked about going out and watching the trains and thinking about driving out and just letting the train hit her.”

Polson started follow-ing her to work to make sure she got there safely. Meanwhile, his mother temporarily moved to Lawrence to help care for Owen.

They were able to con-vince Ziegler to seek help in June — nine months after Owen was born — at Stormont-Vail Health-Care in Topeka.

“My wife was a very stubborn person,” he said. “She didn’t take time off for a headache, so she wasn’t going to do anything. She didn’t want to go to the hospital. She didn’t want to do any of

that, but it was good.”She was there for

about a week, and they prescribed medication. She also began attend-ing a postpartum support group in Kansas City.

Polson said she recov-ered “pretty well” but wasn’t the same.

!"!"!Their second son, Max,

was born in April 2006, and Polson said he had a lot of trepidation.

“The summer was great. I was thinking, ‘Maybe we are going to be OK,’” he said.

Ziegler was scheduled to return to work Aug. 1, but she didn’t make it. She had been up the night before pacing and called her parents around 5 a.m. and told them, “We’re free.” Then, she went into the bedroom and shook Polson to wake him up. She said, “We’re free Aaron. We’re free.”

It was her first psychot-ic episode.

“She was just gone. She was out of touch with reality,” he said.

He called Coates, and she came over to watch the children while he took Ziegler to Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s emergency room. Coates described it as scary: “I had never seen anyone like that before. She was talking and walking but wasn’t at all herself. She wasn’t making any sense and was paranoid.”

On the way to the hospital, Ziegler got out of the car. Police found her and took her home. Then, she pushed past the police, Coates and Polson and took the children — Max was 3 months, and Owen was about to turn 3 — into a bedroom and locked the door.

“That was traumatic. It was intense,” Polson said. The police were able to coax her out of the bed-room, and then they took her to the hospital.

“That was the easiest time to get her into the hospital because it was done involuntary,” Polson said. “She didn’t have a choice.”

While doctors pre-scribed medications for Ziegler, she often didn’t take them, or she would break them into smaller

pieces and take just a piece. Polson said that was a point of contention for them.

Ziegler seemed OK for a while, but then her psychosis fired up again, and she was hospitalized a few months later. Polson recalled taking her to see a psychiatrist. He said Ziegler thought there were unmarked police cars that were waiting for them.

“That was a pretty scary time, and I won-dered if she would recover,” he said.

“Aimee was someone who was just full of life and was the center of what was going on. She was just vibrant, and that was gone. I mean, that was gone at home and around me. Whatever she had left, she used it when she was around other people.”

Free State High School principal Ed West de-scribed Ziegler as the go-to person on many issues, especially ones dealing with mental health or at-risk youth.

“She was energetic, positive. Everybody just loved her for her energy and disposition and at-titude, and she was a suc-cessful guidance counsel-or. She worked real well for us,” West said.

As a guidance counsel-or, she managed the class schedules of between 350 and 400 students, making sure they were on course to graduate.

“She was just so knowl-edgeable,” he said.

West said that some of her colleagues knew she suffered from depression and that she was trying to cope through exercise and diet. But not many, if any, knew she suffered from psychosis.

“She hid it very well,” he said.

!"!"!Polson said Ziegler

wanted a third child but he didn’t, and he thought they were taking the nec-essary precautions.

“I remember the day she told me,” he said about her third preg-nancy. “I just felt like someone hit me with a wrecking ball. It was a to-tal surprise. I just started to cry.”

Polson’s mother, Joy Polson, who had helped take care of her grand-children and Ziegler over the years, decided to sell her house in Clay Center and move to Lawrence.

“I had seen Aimee very tense and not the old Aimee for a while, and it had gotten worse the last few years,” she said.

“I didn’t know, but I was pretty sure she would need help because she had so much trouble with the other two.”

Everyone was on high alert and prepared when Elliot was born Dec. 15.

“She promised me in the hospital. I still remember making her promise me that she was going to take the meds,” he said.

But she didn’t.Four days after El-

liot was born, Max was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory bowel disease, at Chil-dren’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.

“She made it through that,” Polson said.

A few months later, Ziegler returned to work, and Polson said she seemed OK until a few days before she died. She had called and said she was going to stop at a fast-food restaurant and asked what everyone wanted.

“When she brought the food in, I could tell some-thing was wrong,” he said. “She said, ‘I need to talk to you.’”

They went outside, and he saw the familiar signs. Then, she started to tell him about someone who was out to get her and was going to make her lose her license.

“She said she was going to go to jail,” Polson said.

He said he was able to reason with her unlike times before, and they had a full schedule of events the next day. He had a forensics tournament in Wichita, and she was scheduled to take Owen to a soccer game and then attend a baby shower that she was throwing with Coates and another friend.

Coates said Ziegler was late to help set up at the baby shower, which was unusual. When she finally arrived, Coates knew something was wrong.

“The way she took the food out of the bag that she brought in. My heart just sunk. I could tell,” Coates said. “I just thought, “Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.”

She knew her friend was in trouble, and she said Ziegler isolated herself at the shower by saying that she needed to feed Elliot.

“Aimee left early, too, and she was searching for a reason to leave. She made an excuse,” Coates said.

She said another friend walked Ziegler to her car, and she agreed Ziegler wasn’t OK. Coates said she had to leave town after

the shower and then work the next morning, but she planned to catch up with Ziegler the next day when they could be alone.

That evening, Ziegler watched the KU men’s basketball team play in the Final Four against Ohio State with her family.

“It was a great game and win; then we went to bed, and she had a rough night,” Polson said.

Polson called his mother to come watch the children early the next morning because his wife was having another psychotic episode. It was the first time Joy Polson had witnessed one.

“I would explain it as a catatonic state,” she said. “She was just standing and staring and saying, ‘No. No. No.’”

Polson said he took his reluctant wife to the LMH emergency room in hope she would be hospitalized or receive medications, but she received neither after a mental health assessment. Instead, she went home around lunch-time with a prescription for sleeping pills and an order to call a psychiatrist in two or three days.

“I felt so defeated that day because I was doing what I thought was the right thing,” he said.

That day — it was a Sunday — Ziegler hung out at home and held the baby a lot. Polson had sent Coates several text messages to let her know about the situation, and she decided to let her friend get some rest.

Early Monday morning, Coates received a call that there was trouble at the house. It was similar to the call she received when Ziegler had locked herself in the bedroom with her kids.

“I thought, ‘OK, I’m ready. I will go over and get her to the hospital,” Coates said. But on her way, she learned that her friend had died.

“I just thought we had time,” she said. “I thought we had time, and we didn’t.”

!"!"!“I’ve asked myself a

million times if there was more I could have done,” Polson said. “Grieving is a long process, and I am by no means through it.”

He copes by writing, reading and exercising, but it’s his boys who help him get through each day. His older sons have a full slate of summer camps and classes. In their spare time, they enjoy playing basketball, going swim-ming and watching mov-ies with dad. They also help take care of Elliot, their baby brother.

Polson described Owen as tender-hearted and Max as a thinker. One day Max came home after studying snakes and told his dad: “You know, baby snakes don’t need their mommies.”

Those moments are tough.

He said they know that their mother died in a train accident and that she wasn’t feeling well.

“I’m going with the best advice I have, which is to answer the questions as they come and don’t be afraid to talk about it, but don’t force it upon them when they are not ready,” he said.

Coates described Pol-son as a wonderful father and husband.

“I’ve watched him with her through her illness, and he’s just been very loving and supportive,” she said. “I just kept thinking that a lot of men would have given up because it was so hard for so long. He just wouldn’t give up. He stood by her and tried to give her ev-erything she needed and just loved her.”

SUPPORT GROUP

CAIRO — Khairat el-Shater, the leading strategist of the Muslim Brotherhood, offered a stark warning last Tuesday as he prepared for this week-end’s final round of the presi-dential election: Egypt can make its transition to a new order the easy way, or the hard way.

What’s ahead definitely is not going to be easy follow-ing Thursday’s court ruling that will dissolve Egypt’s new parliament, dominated by the Brotherhood, and allow a sym-bol of the old regime to chal-lenge the Brotherhood’s candi-date in this weekend’s polling.

The easy way, in Shater’s view, would be for Mohamed Morsi, the Brotherhood’s candidate, to win a fair elec-tion, unclouded by the legal uncertainties that emerged Thursday. In that case, Shat-er promises a broad unity co-alition, a free-market “renais-sance,” a pitch for foreign investment, and a gradual transition away from the po-lice state created by deposed President Hosni Mubarak.

Shater was conciliato-ry when he talked about a Brotherhood victory. “Egypt is too big a responsibility for one group to lead it. It has to be a coalition,” he asserted. He didn’t talk about a Mus-lim state; indeed, the word Islam barely surfaced in the 90-minute conversation. Yet the conversation was scary when he talked about what would happen if the Brother-hood should lose.

But turmoil is ahead for Egypt, he says, if Ahmed Shafiq, a hard-lined former prime min-ister, appears to win Sunday’s runoff. I say “appears” because Shater was already accusing Shafiq of “soft-rigging” the polls before Thursday’s court ruling. And he made a not-so-subtle prediction that if the Brotherhood’s rival should win, there will be violence.

The Egyptian people “will not accept Shafiq as presi-dent,” he said flatly. “From the first day of the announce-ment, people will be back to Tahrir Square. If the choice of the people is to protest, we will join the people.” He warned that foreign coun-tries shouldn’t make quick moves to recognize Shafiq.

“The coming revolution may be less peaceful and more vio-lent” than the one that toppled Mubarak, Shater predicted. “It

may be difficult to control the streets. ... Some parties, not the Muslim Brotherhood, may resort to further violence and extremism. ... When people find that the door to peaceful change is closed, it is an invita-tion to violence.”

Many Egyptians in the middle — unenthusiastic about either the Brotherhood or the return of the old guard — were preparing for this weekend’s election with a sense of dread. Hani Shukral-lah, a prominent journalist who edits Ahram Online, of-fered a description I heard several times here: “It’s a choice between cholera and the plague — between a Mus-lim state and a police state.”

The Obama administration, which has made a huge bet on the Egyptian revolution, is preparing for both outcomes. If Morsi wins, Washington will rush a quick package of economic aid, knowing that he must show economic progress. If Shafiq wins, the U.S. expects a tough crackdown on street protestors, and will work to keep the confrontation from becoming too bloody.

The White House, perhaps surprisingly, thinks a Morsi victory would be the best for Egypt’s economic transition though it would raise some prickly foreign policy issues.

The future of parliament is a wild card. Some analysts are forecasting legislation by military edict until a new parliament is elected; others aren’t so sure. But the likeli-

hood of renewed violence inEgypt increased sharply afterthe court ruling.

Shater may be the Brother-hood official Washington hascultivated most, seeing himas the likely power behind themild-mannered Morsi. He’sa big, imposing man with abushy beard and a voice thatrises almost to a shout whenhe warns about the dangers ofa Shafiq victory.

His description of theBrotherhood’s economic plansis straightforward and fairlysensible. He knows that Egyp-tians have to get back to workafter the yearlong upheavalthat followed the revolution,and he said that a combinationof better social-welfare mea-sures and pressure from indi-vidual members of the Broth-erhood in the factories willstop the strikes. He knows,too, that Egypt needs foreigncapital, and the new govern-ment plans to work with theInternational Monetary Fundand private investment banks.But all that may be on hold,with dissolution of the parlia-ment.

On foreign policy, Shateroffered a hint of conciliationwhen he says the new govern-ment would be ready to keepon some top intelligence of-ficials, who have won highmarks from their counterpartsin the U.S., Israel and Europe.But this, too, is probably lesslikely in the polarized situa-tion following the court ruling.

OLD HOME TOWNFrom the Law-

rence Daily Journal-World for June 17,1912: “Fred Heckwas coming to townSaturday with fourhorses hitched to aload of peas when

wagon, horses and all slid down the bank of the big fill just west of the Union Pacific railroad and went into a pile in the ditch. The wagon was turned completely over andthe four horses were in a strugglingmass, but fortunately no serious damage resulted. Heck was slightly injured, but was able to bring his team into town. A number of men working on the jetties nearby cameto his assistance.”

100YEARS AGO

IN 1912

WASHINGTON — Because judicial decisions have pro-pelled American history, and because a long-standing judicial mistake needs to be rectified, the most compel-ling of the many reasons for electing Mitt Romney is that presidential elections shape two of the federal govern-ment’s three branches. Con-servatives, however, cannot coherently make the case for Romney as a shaper of the ju-dicial branch until they wean themselves, and perhaps him, from excessive respect for judicial “restraint” and condemnation of “activism.”

In eight years, Ronald Rea-gan appointed 49 percent of the federal judiciary; Bill Clin-ton appointed 43 percent. Clint Bolick says the power to nomi-nate federal judges has become “the grand prize in presidential elections,” because presidents now choose appointees with special attention to judicial phi-losophy, and because human longevity has increased.

In his lapidary new book “Two-Fer: Electing a Presi-dent and a Supreme Court,” Bolick, of the Hoover Institu-tion at Stanford and the Gold-water Institute in Phoenix, notes that Reagan was es-pecially systematic and suc-cessful in appointing judges who would not surprise him, and his successors have emulated him. Since Barack Obama appointed Elena Ka-gan to replace John Paul Ste-vens, whose liberalism surely surprised his appointer, Ger-ald Ford, the court’s liberals

are all Democratic appoin-tees, the conservatives all Republican appointees, and both cohorts frequently are cohesive in important cases.

The average tenure of jus-tices has grown from eight years in the young Republic to 24.5 years today. There have been four presidencies since Reagan’s, but two of his Supreme Court appoin-tees, Antonin Scalia and An-thony Kennedy, still serve. Of the dozen justices con-firmed since 1972, only one, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was 60 when appointed. If Clarence Thomas, who was 43 when nominated, continues to the same age as the justice he re-placed (Thurgood Marshall, 83) he will serve 40 years, eclipsing the court record of 36 (William Douglas).

Since Thomas replaced

Marshall 21 years ago, no ap-pointee has altered the court’s balance: Four liberals replaced liberals and two conservatives replaced conservatives. Today, however, two conservatives (Scalia and Kennedy) and two liberals (Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer) are in their 70s. So if Obama wins he may be able to create a liberal majority; if Romney wins he may be able to secure a conservative major-ity for a generation.

And, Bolick hopes, a conser-vative majority might rectify the court’s still-reverberating mis-take in the 1873 Slaughterhouse cases. It then took a cramped view of the 14th Amendment’s protection of Americans’ “privi-leges or immunities,” saying these did not include private property rights, freedom of contract and freedom from arbitrary government interfer-ence with the right to engage in enterprise. This led in the 1930s to the court formally declaring economic rights to be inferior to “fundamental” rights. This be-got pernicious judicial restraint — tolerance of capricious gov-ernment abridgements of eco-nomic liberty.

One hopes Romney knows that on today’s court the lead-ing advocate of judicial “re-straint” is the liberal Breyer, who calls it “judicial modes-ty.” Contemporary liberalism regards government power equably, so the waxing of the state seems generally benign. Yet Romney promises to ap-point “restrained” judges. If, however, the protection of liberty is the court’s principal

purpose, it must not under-stand restraint as a dominantinclination to (in the language of Romney’s website) “leave the governance of the nation to elected representatives.”

Such as those elected rep-resentatives who imposed Obamacare’s individual man-date? Or those representatives who limited (with the McCain-Feingold law) the freedom ofpolitical speech of persons acting as individuals? Or thosewho limited (with the law Citi-zens United overturned) the speech rights of people associ-ated in corporations?

“When courts fail to en-force the Constitution,” Bol-ick writes, “typically they say that the proper recourseis through democratic pro-cesses — which offers hol-low comfort given that pre-sumably it was democratic processes that created the constitutional violation in the first place.” As Madisonwarned: “Wherever the realpower in a government lies, there is the danger of oppres-sion,” and in this nation “the real power lies in the major-ity of the community.”

Although Hamilton calledthe judiciary the “least dan-gerous” branch because it has “neither force nor will, but merely judgment,” it is dangerous to liberty when it is unreasonably restrained.One hopes Romney recog-nizes that judicial deference toelected representatives can be dereliction of judicial duty.

— George Will is a columnist forWashington Post Writers Group.

Judicial restraint is overrated

Lawrence leaders are betting the city’s youthful feel might be just the attribute to draw more retirees to

the community. The idea has definite potential, but

city and county commissioners should think carefully about whether they want to create a new government job to over-see efforts to attract retirees. Creating a new city/county position to lead retiree-attraction efforts was a major recom-mendation of a city/county task force studying ways to boost the community’s retiree population.

It is understandable the task force would advocate for such a position. Almost any project will benefit from having an indi-vidual responsible for taking ownership of the results. But preliminary talk has sug-gested the new position ought to be paid for with dollars currently used to fund economic development functions.

The attraction of retirees to the city should be viewed as an economic devel-opment initiative, but there already have been concerns expressed by some com-munity leaders that current economic development funding is inadequate. If the city and county start dividing the funding pie into even more pieces, such concerns likely will grow.

It is no secret that some economic de-velopment leaders have privately been talking about the need for a new sales tax or other funding mechanism to boost the available dollars for business attraction and retention efforts.

Before commissioners start adding new economic development-oriented positions — such as the retiree attrac-tion position — they ought to have a full discussion about what the future holds for new economic development funding.

The prospect of attracting retirees with financial means to Lawrence is exciting. Such residents could provide a boost to Lawrence’s economy and likely would be delightful neighbors who would add to the community in many other ways, but it is the responsibility of city and county com-missioners to determine how this retiree attraction effort fits into Lawrence and Douglas County’s larger economic plan and funding sources.

It is important to get this right because higher taxes aren’t going to be a selling point for retirees thinking about moving to Lawrence, and higher taxes likely will be the result if commissioners choose to add positions first and plan later.

Retiree effortsAttracting more retirees to Lawrence is a positive goal, but the idea of hiring a new staff person to pursue that goal needs to be considered as part of an

overall economic development strategy.

MORE KEENS THAN YOU’VE EVER SEEN

By Gary Bedoregbedore@ljworld.com

Florida International Uni-versity basketball coach Isiah Thomas traveled to his hometown of Chicago lastfall to land one of the recruit-ing sleepers in the Class of 2012 — Marshall High com-bo guard Milton Doyle.

“Isiah loved him rightaway,” Marshall coach Hen-ry Cotton said, referring tothe basket-ball Hall of Fame point guard, who garnered an oral commit-ment from the 6-foot-4, 1 8 5 - p o u n d Doyle the first week of October.

FIU fans will never get tosee what the NCAA champi-on out of Indiana Universityand two-time Detroit Pis-tons NBA title winner saw in Doyle, who decommitted after Thomas’ firing on April6. Doyle has since signeda financial aid agreementwith Kansas University andis expected to start summerschool classes Monday.

“Fast,” Cotton said, asked to describe Doyle, who av-eraged 19 points, eight re-bounds, five assists and fivesteals a game his senior sea-son.

“Dunks, crossing over, breaking (players) down,pulling up. I’ve seen him doit all,” Cotton added in a Sat-urday phone conversationwith the Journal-World. “He can shoot the three, shootdeep, get to the basket, has amid-range shot.

“He’s a very good distribu-tor. He can do things ... takeover when he needs to, makeplays when he needs to.”

Cotton said Doyle’s onlyweakness is his slight frame,which can improve once hehits the college weight room.

“Once he puts some weight on, a couple pounds,that’ll be it,” Cotton said,noting Doyle played point guard and shooting guard at (24-8) Marshall, where he earned second-team all-state honors. “You put someweight on him and the sky’sthe limit.”

Cotton said personality-wise, Doyle is “a quiet kid, avery humble kid. It’s a greatfit. They (KU fans) are goingto love him there. I’m really excited for him.”

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — The Kansas City Royals did just fine at the plate Saturday.

They broke out of a recent slump, getting a season-high 14 hits and overcoming a five-run deficit to take the lead.

Matt Holliday and the St. Louis Cardinals, however, did a little better.

Holliday homered and drove in five runs and Yadier Molina homered and drove in four, leading the Cardinals to a 10-7 win over the Royals.

Mike Moustakas homered and tied a career high with four RBIs as Kansas City’s season high-tying four-game winning streak ended.

“We put together some re-ally good at bats,” Moustakas said. “It’s starting to come together.”

Kansas City, which has scored an AL-low 244 runs,

had managed three runs or fewer in seven of its previ-ous nine games. Trailing 6-1, the Royals rallied to take a one-run lead.

“We’re going to get this thing rolling,” Moustakas said.

Holliday also doubled twice and singled. Molina broke a 7-all tie with a two-run, bases-loaded single off reliever Greg Holland in the seventh inning.

St. Louis won for the third time in four games.

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was ejected in the first after umpires overruled an initial call that temporar-ily led to a temporary triple play.

With runners on first and second, Eric Hosmer hit a hard shot that St. Louis pitcher Joe Kelly snared near the ground and threw to first. After first baseman Matt Ad-

ams tossed the ball back tothe mound, Kelly then threw to second for the apparent third out.

But after a three-minuteconference that includedcrew chief Dana DeMuth, theumpires ruled that the ball hit the ground. Bench coach Mike Aldrete took over forMatheny.

“I saw the ball bounce,” Hosmer said.

Matheny said he wasn’t arguing about the reversal.Instead, he said he was upsetthat the umpires didn’t makean immediate ruling on Hos-mer’s ball.

“The issue was, the pitcher came up with the ball look-ing for a call to be made,” Matheny said. “The play wasnot to first base if we get a quick ruling on what it is. That was my argument.”

MLS: Sporting K.C. shuts out Toronto, 2-0. 4BHOME AGAINFormer Kansas University guard Russell Robinson is feeling the love after returning to Lawrence from a

season overseas. Story on page 10B

Tom Keegantkeegan@ljworld.com

Gospel of Luke, chapter 14, verse 11, reads, “Whoever exalts himself will be hum-bled and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”

Lafayette Norwood, a successful basketball coach at the high school, college, junior college and AAU lev-els, and a winning golf coach at Johnson County Com-munity College, no doubt knows this because he is an “avid reader of the Bible,” according to someone who would know. Norwood also embodies that message every day of his life, said the same person.

Naturally, it would be a verse from chapter 14 from the book Norwood reads re-peatedly that would capture him best, and of course it’s the No. 14 tee box at Alva-mar Country Club behind which Norwood lives.

For decades, Norwood and the most decorated No. 14 in Kansas University basketball history, Darnell Valentine, have been inex-tricably linked.

In KU’s record books, Val-entine ranks No. 1 in steals (336), No. 5 in assists (609) and No. 6 in points (1,821). A member of the 1980 Olympic team, three-time Academic All-American, four-time All-Big Eight selection, 1981 second-team Associ-ated Press All-American and first-round draft choice of the Portland Trail Blaz-ers, he shares the credit for every one of those accom-plishments with the man he considers more than his former basketball coach.

“He’s been a surrogate father for me,” Valentine said Saturday. “There’s not much I can reflect on in this lifetime that hasn’t involved him, either directly or indi-rectly.”

Valentine came to Law-rence from his home in Portland, Ore., this week to partake in Friday night’s Rock Chalk Roundball Clas-sic that benefited three local families fighting cancer.

“And then for it to fall when I could spend part of Father’s Day with coach, it was just perfect timing,” said Valentine, whose jersey was retired in 2005.

Norwood was Valen-tine’s head coach at Wichita Heights High and assistant at KU in addition to being a lifelong mentor.

Valentine contacted me through mutual friend Mike Easterday in hopes he could share with the community his belief that Norwood is “a treasure, a secret that’s quietly kept. I wanted him to get a little acknowledgment, even though he’s the last one to want to attract any attention to himself.”

How cool is that?As is the case on every

one of his trips to Lawrence, Valentine’s staying with his coach.

“I’ve got my room and if there are other guests, he has them move to another room or to a couch because that’s my room,” Valentine said.

It’s been a tough couple of years for Norwood, 77. He lost his wife of 56 years, Betty Ann, in 2010, his son, Seth, 42, in 2011.

“His testimony is so strong,” Valentine marveled.

U.S. OPEN

In the rough

Tiger falters; Furyk, McDowell leadThe Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Graeme McDowell and Jim Furyk won the battle of par Saturday at the U.S. Open.

Tiger Woods lost a lot more than that.

McDowell showed the kind of fight that won him a U.S. Open two years ago down the coast at Pebble Beach. He scratched out pars and fin-ished with a 4-foot birdie putt that gave him a 2-under 68 and a share of the lead going into the final round at The Olym-pic Club.

“Probably for the first time this week, I actually enjoyed the round of golf,” McDowell said.

Furyk, also bidding for an-other trophy from golf’s tough-est test, outclassed Woods in the final pairing with key bun-

ker saves and an 8-foot birdie putt on the 17th for a 70, mak-ing him the only player who has yet to have a round over par.

They were at 1-under 139, the only survivors against par.

“Obviously, I like being up front in the position I’m in,” Furyk said. “The golf course will take its effect on a bunch of people. And the guys that

go out there and deal with the conditions and the situations the best ... those are the guys that are have some success and have an opportunity to win the last few holes.”

Woods sure didn’t look like one of those guys in the third round. Wearing a key lime shirt, he turned in a lemon.

He fell out of the lead with two bogeys in the first three holes, couldn’t make a birdie on the stretch of holes that Olympic allows players to make up ground, and ended with a sloppy bogey on the 18th for a 75. Only eight play-ers had a higher score.

It matched Woods’ worst score when he at least a share of the lead after any round of a major. He also closed with a 75 in 2009 at the PGA

This is supposed to be a day when we honor the men who take care of their children, the men who nurture and teach their kids the difference between right and wrong and shelter and protect them from the evil and ugliness of the outside world.

But on this Father’s Day, the most important story in sports is about a man and a football program that are the antithesis of what this day represents. Jerry Sandusky and Penn State University not only failed to protect hopeless, helpless chil-dren, Sandusky stands accused of sexually abusing them and Penn State of shamefully turn-ing a blind eye to it.

One after another, the alleged victims took the witness stand in recent days and tragically provided the sad, searing, grim, grotesque testimony of how Sandusky raped them — anally, orally, spiritually and psycho-logically. In all, Sandusky is on trial for 52 criminal counts of sexual abuse involving 10 alleged victims during a 15-year period.

If you haven’t already lost all respect for Penn State, its administration and its iconic former coach Joe Paterno, I sug-gest you read the gut-wrench-ing, stomach-turning accounts of what Sandusky allegedly did to these young boys.

Essentially, according to prosecutors, Sandusky started his Second Mile charity for troubled youths and set himself up as a father figure for lost boys from broken homes who desperately needed a male role model in their lives. Sandusky was the man who pretended to be their sworn protector but instead turned out to be their sexual predator.

Paterno, of course, did nothing except tell his athletic director, who then proceeded to also do nothing. Sandusky, even though he mysteriously resigned as Paterno’s defensive coordinator years ago, was even allowed to keep an office in the athletic complex until police started investigating him last year.

And what we have now is the most disgusting, despicable scandal in the history of college athletics, the college-football equivalent of the Catholic Church for decades covering up for clergymen who were sexually abusing children.

How could this ever happen?How could this possibly be?Aren’t college-football

coaches such as Paterno and Sandusky supposed to be the ultimate father figures?

But on this day, Sandusky stands accused of raping young boys, while Paterno and his superiors are all accomplices.

Father’s Day — a day when we honor the men who nurture and teach their kids the differ-ence between right and wrong, and shelter and protect them from the evil and ugliness of the outside world.

A day Penn State should hang its head in shame.

BROOKLYN, MICH. (AP) — The last time anyone was this fast in qualifying in NASCAR’s top series, Richard Petty was still driving.

He’s an owner now, but when Marcos Ambrose won the Sprint Cup pole at Michigan International Speedway on Sat-urday for Richard Petty Motors-ports, the Hall of Famer was on hand to put the accomplishment in perspective. Ambrose posted a speed of 203.241 mph, the first time since 1987 the 200 mph mark was broken during Sprint Cup qualifying.

“I can’t hardly remember that far back,” Petty said. “To be able

to do it on a flat-ter race track, not Daytona or Talladega, that is unheard of.”

A m b r o s e made his first Sprint Cup pole a memorable one on a day 19 driv-ers surpassed

200 mph on the newly paved surface at MIS. Speeds have been soaring since drivers began test-ing sessions, and NASCAR decid-ed to alter the left-side tires for the race today, but that change didn’t affect qualifying.

The last pole winner to break

200 mph in this series was Bill Elliott, a quarter-century ago at Talladega. Ambrose had the 11th-fastest pole-winning speed in series history.

“It’s going to sound great at the bar when you have had about six too many,” Ambrose cracked. “It is good bragging rights, I will give it that.”

Ryan Newman’s track quali-fying record of 194.232 mph went by the wayside almost im-mediately. In fact, 40 drivers broke the mark, set in 2005.

Petty won a pole at MIS in 1972 — at 157.607 mph.

“When they redid the track and came up here testing and

said they were running over 200 mph it was blowing my mind,” Petty said. “I think the last time we even flirted with that was when they redid Atlanta and we ran 198 or 199 mph. We knew it was going to be quick but I think it was a whole lot quicker than what we thought and definitely quicker than what Goodyear was thinking.”

Goodyear changed its tire recommendation Friday night, saying the high speeds caused increased left-side tire tempera-tures. Drivers were routinely exceeding 200 mph in practice, with Greg Biffle topping out with a lap of over 204 on Friday.

WEST ALLIS, WIS. — As long as his boss went to the trouble of bringing IndyCar racing back to the Milwaukee Mile, Ryan Hunter-Reay figured he might as well bring home the winner’s trophy.

Hunter-Reay took the lead from Helio Cas-troneves on the 142nd lap, didn’t cough it up on a couple of restarts and held on to the IndyCar race Saturday at the Milwaukee Mile.

It was a doubly sweet win for Michael Andretti, who fields cars for Hunter-Reay as a team owner and served as the event promoter for the race.

“It really is amazing,” Hunter-Reay said. “Mil-waukee has been so important to IndyCar for so long, and I think this is a huge event for Milwau-kee. These two belong together. So I really thank Michael for sticking his neck out, coming back here and really doing it the right way.”

It was the sixth career victory and first this season for Hunter-Reay. He also won at Milwau-kee in 2004 in the now-defunct Champ Car Se-ries, starting from the pole and leading every lap.

Tony Kanaan was second, followed by James Hinchcliffe, Oriol Servia and E.J. Viso.

Scott Dixon had to serve a drive-through penalty for jumping a restart and finished 11th. He questioned the penalty immediately after-ward — and as it turns out, he was right.

IndyCar race director Beaux Barfield ac-knowledged after the race that officials made a mistake. He said a failure in their timing and scoring system caused them to look at the wrong replay.

What officials looked was a replay of a previ-ous restart that was waved off by officials at the time and didn’t count. Dixon did commit a po-tential infraction on that restart — but he didn’t do so on the subsequent restart that ended up counting and should not have been penalized.

“It was obviously the wrong call, based on the reality of the situation,” Barfield said.

Barfield took responsibility for the mistake, and said Chip Ganassi Racing officials were “very gracious” when presented with an explanation. Barfield said there wasn’t anything officials can do to undo the mistake.

Last year’s Milwaukee winner, Dario Franchitti, started from pole position and domi-nated the early stages of the race. But he fell back in the field and then spun out and hit the wall on lap 195.

AUTO RACINGLogano Nationwide winner

BROOKLYN, MICH. — Joey Logano followed up his Sprint Cup victory at Pocono last weekend with a win on the Nationwide Series on Saturday at Michigan International Speedway.

Logano held off James Buescher for his fifth Nationwide win of the year and 14th of his career. He has won four of the last five races in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. Kurt Busch, back from a one-week suspension, finished third.

There was a red flag with seven laps to go after an accident involving Josh Richards and Jamie Dick. Flames shot briefly out of Dick’s car, but both drivers were evaluated and re-leased after the crash.

Buescher tried to pass Logano on the inside in the final seconds but wasn’t able to.

TENNISFederer, Haas reach final

HALLE, GERMANY — Roger Federer will face wild card Tommy Haas of Germany in a bid to win the Gerry Weber Open for a record sixth time today. The 87th-ranked Haas defeated defending champion Philipp Kohlschreiber, 7-6 (5), 7-5, on Saturday. Federer eased past Mikhail Youzhny of Russia, 6-1, 6-4, to reach his seventh final.

SOCCERU.S. women defeat Sweden, 3-1

HALMSTAD, SWEDEN — Abby Wambach’s 136th career goal for the U.S. women’s team led the Americans past Sweden, 3-1, Saturday in a tune-up for the London Olympics.

Wambach connected just eight minutes in, then Alex Morgan scored in the 22nd. Sweden’s Lotta Schelin scored in the 35th minute, and substitute Tobin Heath sealed the game with a header 11 minutes into the second half.

Wambach’s goal came off a punt from goalkeeper Hope Solo. Heather O’Reilly won the ball in the air, nodding it to Wambach. She turned on a defender and her half-volley from 35 yards caught keeper Hedvig Lindahl out of her goal.

The U.S. team will have one day of rest before facing Japan on Monday. The Japanese beat the Americans for the World Cup title last year.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALLAthletics release Ramirez

OAKLAND, CALIF. — Manny Ramirez is a free agent again after he asked the Oakland Athletics to release him and the team granted his request.

Ramirez signed a minor-league deal with Oakland on Feb. 20 and hit .302 with 14 RBIs in 17 games with Triple-A Sacramento. He served a 50-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s drug policy last year, but remained in the minors when the ban ended on his 40th birthday on May 30.

“It looked like he was down there for a while and I think he wanted out,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “He wanted an opportunity, if we weren’t going to do something, to go some-where else. It is what it is. Certainly we wish him the best.”

Ramirez, who has 555 career homers and 1,831 RBIs, retired last season rather than serve a 100-game suspension for failing a second drug test. But Commissioner Bud Selig cut the sus-pension in half after Ramirez sat out the balance of the season.

COLLEGE BASEBALLArkansas rips Kent State

OMAHA, NEB. — DJ Baxendale and Brandon Moore combined on a four-hitter, Jake Wise homered for the first time since February, and Arkansas defeated Kent State, 8-1, on Saturday to spoil the Golden Flashes’ first appearance in the College World Series. Baxendale didn’t allow a hit until Sawyer Polen’s infield single with two out in the fifth.

Ambrose takes Sprint Cup pole

Penn State should be ashamed

Ambrose

Sunday, June 17, 2012 | 3B LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD BASKETBALL

By Luke MeredithAssociated Press Sports Writer

First-year Kansas State coach Bruce Weber is so new to the Big 12 that he called into his first league teleconference from Champaign, Ill., as movers were packing his family’s belongings for the journey to Manhattan.

Weber, West Virginia’s Bob Huggins and TCU’s Trent Johnson are the newest coaches to join the Big 12, which will lose Missouri and Texas A&M to the Southeastern Con-ference on July 1. In their place will be the Moun-taineers and Horned Frogs.

Weber, who was fired by Illinois in March after nine seasons, has been impressed with what he’s seen so far after being im-mersed in the Big Ten.

“The success of the Big 12 as a basketball confer-ence, a football confer-ence, is just pretty eye-opening to be honest. Our whole staff, that’s the one thing we’ve talked a lot about,” Weber said Thurs-day in a call with report-ers. “Comparing to the Big Ten, probably a little better athlete and maybe a little bit more open, up and down.”

Huggins knows all about the Big 12, having spent one memorable sea-son at Kansas State before jumping to his alma mater before the 2007-08 season.

Huggins said that one of the changes that fans

in Morgantown are most excited about in the leap from the 16-team Big East to the Big 12 will be the true round-robin sched-ule.

It should help the Mountaineers generate some heated rivalries be-fore long.

“There were times, I think we played at Syra-cuse four years in a row and I think Louisville played at our place four years in a row. You don’t get to see all the teams,” Huggins said. “I don’t think you develop the ri-valry like you do when you’re playing people on a home-and-home basis like we’re going to be able to do.”

The coach facing the biggest challenge in mov-ing to the Big 12 has got to be TCU’s Trent Johnson.

Johnson left LSU after four seasons to take over at a school that got an in-vitation to the Big 12 based on its football success. But the Horned Frogs went 18-15 last season after win-ning just one league game in 2010-11, and Johnson sounded confident in the

program’s ability to com-pete in the Big 12 right away.

“There’s some excite-ment, but also there’s a curiosity and there’s a wait-and-see approach or a wait-and-see attitude. Can we compete? Can we get it done at this level? And that’s good,” John-son said. “I know what it’s like. I know what we’re getting into. But it’s been good, and I think people are just sitting in the back waiting. But this institu-tion and this program ath-letically — it’s time. It’s time, in my opinion...to take on the challenges of the Big 12.”

For Weber, the offsea-son has been as much about recovering from his departure from Illinois as it’s been about preparing for the Big 12.

In the past three months, Weber has lost the best job he ever had, gained another top-flight gig and watched his daughter get married. He won’t have much time to settle in at Kansas State either, since the Wildcats will spend 10 days on a tour of Brazil in early August.

“Obviously you have a lot of emotional highs and lows within the stretch. But as I’ve said, I feel very, very fortunate to be at K-State, to walk into a pretty good job with great fans, good team, good facili-ties,” Weber said. “When you make a transition, any coach that’s done it, it is a whirlwind.”

By Broderick TurnerLos Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — And with the second pick in the June 28th NBA draft, the Charlotte Bobcats se-lect . . .

Oh, right, what about the first pick?

Well, the consensus is that the New Orleans Hor-nets will take Kentucky big man Anthony Davis with the first overall pick.

After that, the selections might get a little dicey — if only because Bobcats owner Michael Jordan has too many choices.

One decision Jordan has to make is whether to trade the No. 2 pick to get more quality players lower in the draft of equal potential.

It doesn’t help that Jor-dan hasn’t had a good his-tory in the draft.

After all, he selected high school center Kwame Brown with the first over-all pick when he was a front-office executive for the Washington Wizards in the 2001 draft.

That didn’t turn out too well. Lakers fans mostly remember Brown for fum-bling passes in the post.

Then Jordan selected Gonzaga’s Adam Morri-son with the third overall pick in the 2006 draft for the Bobcats.

Strike two. Morrison, who also had an unsuc-cessful Lakers run, played last season in Turkey.

One major problem for Jordan is that his team needs help at a lot of posi-tions.

According to several front-office executives with NBA teams, Jordan is deciding whether to

take North Carolina small forward Harrison Barnes, Kansas power forward Thomas Robinson or Flor-ida shooting guard Brad-ley Beal.

“It’s a good draft, but there is just one star in this draft,” said an NBA executive, who was not authorized to speak pub-licly, referring to Davis. “But there are kids in this draft that could be in the league for 10 years and be nice players.”

Davis is the cream of this draft. The 6-foot-10, 220-pound power for-ward led Kentucky to the NCAA championship by being a defensive force. One NBA scout compared Davis to Marcus Camby as a defender, saying that Davis has more upside as a scorer.

While many scouts view this as a good draft, some believe that a team can get a player just as talented at No. 2 as they could get at No. 17.

The Hornets have two first-round lottery picks, the first and the 10th. The latter pick came from the Clippers in the Chris Paul deal.

“It’s a hard draft to make,” the NBA executive said. “You could get a guy at 25 that could be just as good as the guy you get at 17.”

The success of the Big 12 as a basketball conference, a football conference, is just pretty eye-opening to be honest.”

NorwoodCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“He’s certainly hurt and he’s certainly trying to find a way through these tremendous losses, but in his quiet way, people can look and see how he’s responded and they can have hope and get some kind of sense that in times of great loss, if you have your life in order, it’s possible to get through the difficulty. He’s one of those kind of guys that you can tangibly touch and say, ‘There’s an example, if we’re able to do it right, we can get through this.’”

A nine-year NBA veteran, Valentine credits

much of his basketball success to Norwood, but said he learned more “intellectual, spiritual and emotional” lessons from him than basketball. He said he’ll continue to find ways to “kill two birds with one stone,” on trips to Lawrence, as he did this week.

“You can look at the re-cords and figure out that he’s 77,” Valentine said. “The next 10 years are going to be quality years. I want to siphon as much of him and his spirit as I can.”

Valentine knew that if he waited for Norwood to exalt himself, it never would happen, so he did the exalting and shared the secret of a hidden lo-cal treasure. Nice of him to do so.

KU FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Weis snags top state talentsBy Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

Late last week, Rivals.com released its state-by-state rankings for the top prospects in the Class of 2013, and the Kansas Uni-versity football team ap-pears to be doing quite well in the Sunflower State.

According to the rank-ings, KU has secured oral commitments from the fourth, fifth and sixth best players in the state.

Basehor-Linwood’s Ben Johnson is ranked fourth and was given three stars. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound tight end was the first in the Class of 2013 to com-mit to KU. Last season he caught 59 passes for 954 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Bishop Miege quarter-back Montell Cozart, 6-2, 180, ranks fifth and also is a three-star prospect. Cozart, who played for new KU offensive line coach Tim Grunhard last season, led the Stags to a 9-2 record and the second round of the postseason.

Shawnee Mission East quarterback Jordan Dar-ling, 6-4, 226, is the most recent KU commitment and ranks sixth on the list. Darling, a three-star QB, played at Waco Midway High as a junior and led his squad to a berth in the state title game.

Missouri (offensive lineman Clay Rhodes, ranked second) and Kan-sas State (linebacker Tan-ner Wood, ranked third) each have one commit-ment from the list and the other five remain unde-cided.

They are: Emporia’s Jerel Morrow, a four-star athlete who is ranked No. 1 in the state; Mill Val-ley’s Skyler Windmiller, a two-star quarterback ranked seventh; Marys-ville’s Brady Moore, a two-star tight end ranked eighth; Mill Val-ley’s Coleman McCann, a two-star offensive line-man ranked ninth; and Bonner Springs High’s Tyler Howell, a two-star offensive lineman ranked 10th.

According to Rivals, Morrow is the only player remaining on the list to whom KU has offered a scholarship.

In all, the Jayhawks have received five com-mitments from this class, three from Kansas, one

from Missouri and one from Texas.

St. Louis-area lineback-er Kellen Ash, 6-3, 194, is ranked as the ninth best prospect in Missouri, while Dallas area defen-sive back Colin Spencer did not crack Rivals.com’s Top 100 in Texas.

Habitat for HumanitySeveral KU employ-

ees and student-athletes offered their services to the Habitat for Humanity project in Lawrence on Wednesday.

Included among them were defensive tackle Keon Stowers, a junior who transferred from Georgia Military College and arrived on campus earlier this month, and tight end Justin Puthoff, a junior from Goddard. Both KU football players tweeted about their ex-perience and, not surpris-ingly, touted “hard work” as a key ingredient to the project’s success.

Facilities fail?On Thursday, ESPN.

com’s David Ubben un-veiled his rankings for the top football facilities in the Big 12 Conference.

Even though Ubben noted that he took into account more than just each school’s stadium, he ranked the Jayhawks dead

last and seemed to penal-ize them for the state of Memorial Stadium.

Here’s Ubben’s take: “Want a good way to say — intended or not — that “We don’t care enough about football?” Put a track around your football field. Kansas’ facilities are nice, and like I said above, it’s not all that far behind No. 4 Texas Tech, but the stadium is holding KU back.”

Summer campingThis weekend was

big for the KU football camp circuit. After host-ing the annual Friday Night Lights camp from 5-9 p.m. on Friday, KU’s coaching staff welcomed some of the top athletes from around the region for 7-on-7 and Offensive and Defensive line camps from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Both camps featured some of the top talent from all levels of high school football and each gave the KU coaching staff a close-up look at some of the players they may wind up recruiting during the next couple of years. This year’s camps were closed to the media and will wrap up with an individual camp on June 27 and a Super Tuesday camp July 31.

Cotton said that Doyle heard from many schools since decommitting from FIU.

“From Marquette in the Big East to the Big 10 schools, ACC and Big 12,” Cotton said.

!He must qualify: Doyle,

like all incoming fresh-men, will not be eligible for competition until cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse. Typically the Clearinghouse does not render final decisions regarding basketball play-ers until late summer/early fall with football and other fall sports the prior-ity at this time.

Doyle’s mom, Lisa Green, explained her son’s particular situation in an interview Saturday with the Chicago Tribune. She told the paper that Milton has the grades and test scores to be eligible, but he’s awaiting approval of two courses he took on-line because of complica-tions following his trans-fer from Tilden High to Marshall High after his sophomore year.

Said DeMuth: “Our main concern was to get the call right. When I got everybody together, no-body had a catch.”

Holliday and Molina each hit two-run homers in the first off Bruce Chen, who gave up six earned runs on seven hits over 1 2-3 innings, his shortest start of the season.

“I’m definitely not very happy with the way I pitched,” Chen said. “I just didn’t pitch well enough to help my team win.”

Mitchell Boggs (1-1) picked up the win with 1 1-3 innings of scoreless re-lief. Jason Motte recorded his 14th save in 17 chances.

Tim Collins (4-1) took the loss.

Alcides Escobar had a two-run single in the sev-enth to give the Royals a 7-6 lead.

Holliday, who began the day in an 0-for-12 rut, tied it with an RBI single in the seventh. Allen Craig walked to load the bases for Molina.

Kansas City came back with single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth in-nings before taking the lead with three in the sev-enth. Hosmer walked and Jeff Francoeur singled be-fore Moustakas added an

RBI hit. Brayan Pena fol-lowed an infield single to load the bases and Esco-bar poked a hit to right to give the Royals a 7-6 lead.

“I was really proud of the offense, the way they stayed after it,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. “Down 6-1, they just kept putting together good at-bats. We battled back and got the lead, but from the seventh inning on (our pitchers) just real-ly struggled to command the ball.”

Kelly, making his sec-ond major league start,

gave up two earned runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 in-nings.

Carlos Beltran added three hits and extended his hitting streak to nine games. He pushed the lead to 5-1 with an RBI single and Holliday followed with an RBI double.

Moustakas hit his 10th homer in the fourth. He also had a run-scoring sin-gle in the first and an RBI groundout in the fifth.

Sporting K.C. blanks Toronto FC in styleBy Stephen Montemayor

smontemayor@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, KAN. — The volley was as crisp and technically brilliant as could have been asked, the missing equation to what until then had been a torrent of chances without many finishes for Sporting Kansas City on Saturday against Toronto FC.

In the 34th minute, defender Julio Cesar re-ceived midfielder Graham Zusi’s corner kick and sent it through for what would be the second of two scores for Sporting KC (9-3-1) in a 2-0 victory to reclaim at least a share of the Eastern Conference lead.

“World class,” coach Peter Vermes said of the goal after the game.

The score padded a lead initiated by forward C.J. Sapong in the 18th minute off a cross by midfielder Jacob Peterson, who start-ed his first game for Sport-

ing KC with Kei Kamara still overseas competing for the Sierra Leone na-tional team. Following his team’s results on Twitter, Kamara would soon read that he would be joined by Sapong atop the league’s scoring list with five goals apiece.

In front of a season-high 20,488 fans at Livestrong Sporting Park, Sporting KC hosted a Toronto FC club very much in transi-tion in its first game with new head coach, Aron Winter.

For much of the first half, Toronto (1-10) con-ceded possession to Sport-ing KC, who for its part saw a number of chances by forward Teal Bunbury, Zusi and Cesar.

Cesar’s goal followed a pair of easier chances that missed the mark by inches.

“For me the most clear was the second one,” Ce-sar said. “The opportuni-ties come when you try to

find them. Today was the most opportunities I had, and I put it in the net.”

Zusi’s assist on Cesar’s goal gave him eight on the season, good for first in MLS.

For much of the sec-ond half, Sporting KC had to hold of a Toronto FC side that began to string together more chances than it had in the first 45 minutes. After owning a 10-2 advantage in shots, Toronto FC stormed back with nine of its own in the second half. Still, high-lighted by a beautiful kick save by goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen in the 73rd min-ute, Sporting KC would keep its guests out of the net.

Also missing from Sporting KC’s starting lineup Saturday was de-fender Matt Besler, still on the mend from appen-dicitis. Lawrence Olum appeared in his place for his first career start.

Sporting KC now em-

barks for a coast-to-coast two-game road trip begin-ning at 9 p.m. on Wednes-day at Seattle, followed three days later by a 6 p.m. start at Philadelphia. Sporting KC will return to Livestrong Sporting Park when it hosts the Dayton Dutch Lions in the quar-terfinals of the U.S. Open Cup at 7:30 p.m. on Tues-day, June 26.

KC to host French clubSporting KC added

another international friendly to its schedule, announcing this week that it will host French Ligue 1 champions Montpellier HSC at 7:30 p.m. on Tues-day, July 24.

Montpellier will be the 14th international club to visit Livestrong Sport-ing Park since it opened last year. It will do so one week before Sporting KC hosts English Premier League club Stoke City at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 1.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS’ MATT HOLLIDAY IS CON-GRATULATED BY TEAMMATES in the dugout after hitting a two-run home run in the first inning against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday in St. Louis. The Cardinals won, 10-7.

Sunday, June 17, 2012 | 5B LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD NBA FINALS

MIAMI (AP) — At this point a year ago, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were using words like ur-gency and desperation.

And that’s exactly what the Miami Heat expect the Oklahoma City Thunder to bring into Game 3 of this year’s NBA Finals.

So far, this champion-ship series has followed the same script as a year ago, with the home team w i n n i n g the open-ing match-up, then falling in Game 2 to lose the home-c o u r t edge. Mi-ami took the sting of that into Dallas last year and used it as fuel to win Game 3 — and the Heat will look to ensure that trend doesn’t repeat itself when the title matchup re-sumes on their home floor tonight.

“You’ve got the two best teams in the league right now going against each other,” Wade said Saturday, when practices resumed after a day off for both clubs. “So it’s going

to be a very tough game, but we have to find a way to win it. And it’s about taking, like I said, one pos-session at a time, one sec-ond, one minute at a time to make sure we reach our goal — and that’s to win the game.”

A Game 3 victory as-sures nothing, a lesson the Heat learned the hard way last year. That win in Dal-las was Miami’s final vic-tory of the season.

But there are certain truths that will come from the outcome tonight. The winner will have home-court advantage. The winner will be two games away from a champion-ship. And the losing club will see what appears to be an already razor-thin margin for error in this series become even more precarious.

“We have no other choice,” said Thunder star Kevin Durant, the league’s scoring cham-pion. “We lost at home. Tough loss. We’ve got to get over it, get ready for a tough Game 3. You know, the series is going to be tough. We know that. We know that. You’ve just got to be ready. It’s going to be a fun one.”

By now, the Heat aren’t shy to say they’re com-pletely exhausted about dissecting what went wrong in last year’s fi-

nals. Still, they know the importance of not letting one loss turn into another — because when that hap-pened against the Maver-icks a year ago, there was a parade in Dallas not long afterward.

“I don’t know if we were any more motivated in Game 2,” Erik Spoelstra said. “What we were was angry about our perfor-

mance in Game 1. ... You want to throw your best punches out there, and may the best team win. We didn’t throw our best punches in Game 1.”

Add up the numbers from the first two games of the series, and it turns into something close to a statistical dead heat.

Both teams are shoot-ing 47 percent. Both have

made 14 tries from 3-point range (though Miami is shooting a better per-centage). The Thunder have grabbed four more rebounds, the Heat whis-tled for two more fouls. The Thunder outscored Miami by 16 points in the paint during their Game 1 win; the Heat outscored the Thunder by 16 points in the paint during their victory in Game 2.

Of course, the only stat that really matters is the one that’s identical: one win each, headed into today.

And if the young Thun-der were supposed to be rattled by losing the home-court edge, no one told them.

“We have all the right pieces, from the best scorer in the league, most athletic point guard in the league to the best shot blocker to the best post de-fender, best wing defend-er and our bench is one of the best,” James Harden said. “This is a perfect team. We are young guns. We get it done. It has to start in Game 3.”

Even their young-look-ing coach doesn’t sound worried about the stakes the Thunder will face.

“I’ve seen all year long a group that’s always com-mitted, that always sticks by one another, that be-lieves in the work that we put in,” Scott Brooks said.

“And that’s who they are. It’s not going to change. They’ve always had great ability to bounce back af-ter a tough loss and we expect the guys to come back (Sunday) night with better effort, better play and for 48 minutes.”

The Heat expect the same.

It’s no secret that falling short last year has been a source of inspiration throughout this season for James and the Heat, and that continues even now.

And for James, one trend from last year is gone. In Game 2, he did what he was criticized for not doing against the Mavs — he closed the game, coming through twice in a one-possession situation. His bank shot with 1:26 left pushed Mi-ami’s lead to five, and his two free throws with 7.1 seconds remaining sealed Miami’s 100-96 win.

“I’m enjoying it,” James said. “I’m having fun with these first two games. I mean, this is a great oppor-tunity for myself and for our team, for both teams. It’s a lot of fun being out there and competing at a high level, you know, the in-tense moment where every possession counts. That’s what it’s all about. As a competitor you have to en-joy these moments and you love these moments.”

Heat hope history doesn’t repeat itself

MIAMI (AP) — Russell Westbrook leads the NBA Finals with 18 assists, which is a great sign for the Oklahoma City Thun-der.

He also leads the finals in shot attempts. That might not be such a great sign.

Oklahoma City’s point guard has fired off 50 shots so far in the finals, which are knotted at a game apiece and resume with Game 3 in Miami on tonight. Westbrook’s shot total is four more than LeBron James has attempted for the Heat, eight more than three-time scoring champion Kevin Durant has tried for the Thunder and just two less than James Harden, Serge Ibaka, Thabo Sefo-losha and Derek Fisher have gotten for Oklahoma City combined.

Think Westbrook is apologizing for that? Think again.

“I’m not making no ad-justments,” Westbrook said. “Regardless of what anybody says or regard-less of what you guys say about how I play, it doesn’t matter. You know, I’m going to play my game regardless of what hap-pens. I’m going to go out and give 110 percent, and try to find a way to help us win the game.”

When Westbrook takes 25 shots in a game — what he’s averaging in this se-

ries — the Thunder are 7-7 this season, including playoffs. When he takes less than 25, the Thunder are 53-16.

That stat isn’t neces-sarily one that the Thun-der are concerned about. They just say that when Westbrook is producing, they’re better, plain and simple.

“It’s not deserving at all because without him we wouldn’t be here at this point and people don’t recognize that,” Du-rant said Saturday when asked about the criti-cism Westbrook takes at times. “Everybody thinks

he should be a traditional point guard like a (John) Stockton or a Mo Cheeks (now a Thunder assistant coach). There’s a lot of people that cannot be like Russ, either. We need him to play the way he plays.

“The best thing about Russ is he comes to work every single day,” Durant added. “That’s what you guys don’t see, is how hard he works and how much he wants it. That’s what I love about him. He doesn’t care what people say, he’s going to play his game and we need him to play his game.”

So far against the Heat,

his game has been decid-edly up and down.

Miami has outscored Oklahoma City 56-37 in first quarters of the two fi-nals games. Westbrook is shooting 17 percent (2 for 12) in that quarter. In the final three quarters, the Thunder have outscored the Heat by 26 points. And in those quarters, West-brook is shooting 47 per-cent (18 for 38).

“We need Russell to score,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “I know some of you don’t like that, but Russell is a very, very gifted, talented play-er, and we would not be in

this position without Rus-sell Westbrook.”

Two games is hardly a decent or fair sample size. But if the trend — slow Westbrook starts feeding into slow Thunder starts — continues, that could be a particularly big problem for Oklahoma City, espe-cially now that the series has shifted to Miami for the next three games.

“He just has to play the game,” said Fisher, the veteran who is West-brook’s backup and con-fidant. “We all have to, I think, play a smarter game than what we played in particular in Game 2. But Russell is a phenomenal talent, and he just has to

trust his instincts, play hisgame. But that same focus goes for all of us, Russell, Kevin, James. If there’s two people covering you,somebody else is open, make the pass, and that guy will make the play.”

If the Heat had theirway, they would probably prefer Westbrook shootmore than Durant any-way. Westbrook is shoot-ing 34 percent in his lastseven games against Mi-ami, but the Thunder are still 4-3 in those games.

At the same time, Mi-ami also insists there’s nomagic reason why West-brook seems to get more early looks against theHeat than Durant does.

“Sometimes that’s the way the game goes, re-ally,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “This is atough team to try to dic-tate, OK? We want youshooting the ball; we don’t want you shooting.They’re so aggressive andrelentless just coming atyou, they’re instinctual.That happens within theflow of the game.”

And if it happens that way again in Game 3, Westbrook plans to keepshooting.

“I feel like I’m doing agood job of getting better, getting my team better,” Westbrook said. “We’rein the NBA Finals now,and the more negative youhear, the better you’re do-ing. That’s how I look at it.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Bucs’ Burnett wins againThe Associated Press

InterleaguePirates 9, Indians 2

CLEVELAND — A.J. Bur-nett became the first Pitts-burgh pitcher since 1990 to win six straight starts, and Pedro Alvarez hom-ered twice as the Pirates beat Cleveland.

Burnett (7-2) gave up two runs over 6 2/3 in-nings. He extended the best stretch by a Pirates pitcher since Doug Drab-ek won six in a row during his NL Cy Young Award-winning season.

Casey McGehee hom-ered and drove in four runs and Alvarez had three RBIs as the Pirates snapped a four-game los-ing streak. McGehee broke a 2-all tie with a two-run homer off Ubaldo Jimenez (6-5) in the sixth.

Cleveland’s Michael Brantley went 0 for 3 with a walk, halting the majors’ longest hitting streak this season at 22 games.

The last Pirates pitcher to win six straight deci-sions was rookie Zach Duke in 2005. He did it over eight starts to open his career 6-0.

Burnett had not been successful at Progressive Field until handing the In-dians their fourth loss in five games. He came in 1-5 with a 6.75 ERA in six pre-vious starts in Cleveland.

Yankees 5, Nationals 3, 14 innings

WASHINGTON — Mark Teixeira hit a two-run double in the 14th inning as New York won its eighth straight game.

Teixeira’s drive to the right field corner off Brad Lidge (0-1) brought home Jayson Nix and Derek Jeter in the longest game by innings played by ei-ther team this season.

Freddy Garcia (1-2) pitched two innings to get the win.

Rafael Soriano handled the bottom of the 14th for his 12th save, but only af-ter allowing back-to-back one-out singles to Jesus Flores and Steve Lombar-dozzi. The game ended when Soriano got Bryce Harper to ground out, ending an 0-for-7 day for the Nationals’ teen sen-sation that included five strikeouts.

pitched six shutout in-nings in his return from the disabled list, Miguel Cabrera homered and also scored when Colorado misplayed his comeback-er, and Detroit defeated the Rockies.

Fister (1-3) had been out since aggravating a ribcage strain on May 28. He missed a month after sustaining the original in-jury in his first start of the season.

Fister allowed three hits and struck out six.

Cabrera hit his 14th homer in the first. He got to circle the bases in the fifth, too, thanks to a pair of misplays after he hit a grounder to the mound.

Bailey worked his waythrough several early jamsand took advantage of theample dimensions at Citi Field. Though the fences were brought in before this season, David Wright hit two of four Mets drives that were caught within steps of the wall.

Technology helps umpires beat heatCINCINNATI (AP) — Those

summer scorchers don’t make umpires melt down anymore.

Cooling technology that’s been used by the military for years has started helping umps get through those days when the temperatures flirt with triple-digits and the humidity makes han-dling home plate duties a sweaty job. They can wear a vest with cooling packs on the front and back, or slip a pack into a special pocket in their shirt when they’re behind the plate.

They’re a lot cooler these summer days, which is no small thing. Unlike players, who can escape the sun and duck into the air conditioned clubhouse between innings, the men in black don’t get a break.

“It can really be the dif-ference-maker in finishing the game when the condi-tions are that difficult,” 13-year veteran umpire Bill Welke said.

It’s a vast improvement over the days when um-pires got so dehydrated on broiling afternoons that their fingers would wrinkle. All they had back then to fight off the op-pressive heat was sips of water between innings, a soaked cabbage leaf under their hat and quick dous-ing with ammonia water between innings.

It’s especially tough for plate umpires, who have to wear that protective equipment and do more than 300 knee bends per game, making a fraction-of-an-inch decision on each pitch. A clear head is needed. And there’s no time to duck into air con-ditioning and cool down.

All major league um-pires have access this summer to technology that was developed for the military during the first Gulf War. It has spread

into industries that in-volve heat, and filtered down to law enforcement and firefighters who need to stay cool to do their jobs.

“This technology is not new,” said Kate Doherty, spokeswoman for HTFx, Inc., which developed the equipment. “It’s only new to sports.”

The umpires were skep-tical at first.

There have been other attempts to adapt cool-ing equipment to um-pires. About 20 years ago, they experimented with a liquid-filled vest that was bulky and didn’t stay cool long enough. Cooling packs would get wet and heavy as they thawed.

Didn’t work.

When much of the country sizzled last sum-mer, umpires started try-ing the HTFx equipment — marketed under Rite-Temp Athletics — and loved it.

“This stuff really works,” said Tim Tschi-da, a 26-year veteran and crew chief. “When I first saw it, I was like, ‘I don’t know, that sounds like a gimmick.’ The first two or three guys on the staff that used it, they couldn’t stop raving about it. They said it’s like dropping the temperature outside by 20 degrees.”

Now, every umpire room in the majors has the cooling equipment, stored in a freezer for ready use. There’s a vest with pads

front and back that can be worn on the bases. Um-pires’ shirts now have in-side pockets for a pad with a home-plate insignia, providing a layer of cool under the chest protector. The pads can be quickly swapped for colder ones out of the freezer every few innings.

There’s a cooling cap and another that umpires can sit on after the game to quickly lower their core temperature.

To a fan or player, it may not seem like much. To umpires, it’s a godsend. Veteran umpires have sto-ries about getting light-headed in the heat and so sweaty that even the bag of baseballs attached to their waists got soaked.

“You get some scorch-er days out there, I’ll tell you,” said MLB Director of Umpiring Randy Marsh, who worked major-league games for 27 years. “I’ve got some old pictures of when I worked. When you walked off the field, your uniform was completely soaked.”

When Marsh started working in the majors, there wasn’t much help with the heat. Teams would soak towels in cold ammonia water that um-pires wrapped around their necks between in-nings. Cabbage leaves soaked in the water could be tucked under caps.

“I learned that from Paul Runge,” Marsh said. “He used to put cabbage

leaves in the hat. He had me do it when I worked with him. I don’t know if I noticed it, maybe psycho-logically. But a lot of guys thought that it workedbetter than the sun beat-ing on your head.”

The multipurpose sta-diums with artificial turfthat came into vogue in the1970s were especially bru-tal. On-field temperaturesat Riverfront Stadium, for example, were measured above 150 degrees. Waves of heat snaked off the field like a griddle.

During one series in Cincinnati in July 1997,Greg Maddux got so hot and mentally discombob-ulated that he took him-self out of a game aftersix innings. The plastic on the bottom of infielder Jeff Blauser’s cleats start-ed to melt. Players said it burned their hands to touch the turf.

“George Hendrick used to tell us when he played in St. Louis, he used three pairs of shoes,” Marshsaid. “He kept two on a bigbucket of ice and would change shoes every inning because it was so hot on that turf.”

Umpires could get so dehydrated that theirfingers would wrinkle.Sometimes, the plateumpire overheated and had to be replaced. Now, training staffs are aware of their need to keep drinking fluids. Plus, withthe multipurpose turf sta-diums replaced by grass fields, those blistering days aren’t nearly so bad.

“When they went to grass, it made all the dif-ference in the world,” Ts-chida said.

The high-tech cooling packs have ramped down the heat even more.

“It’s been a welcome, welcome addition to ourequipment bags, that’s for sure,” Tschida said.

Abundance of no-hitters may be just chanceBy Sheldon Ocker

Akron Beacon Journal

Five no-hitters, includ-ing a perfect game, before the middle of June? Have major-league hitters become complete wimps because they no longer can safely use steroids without getting caught?

Some observers of the game think the increase in no-hitters is directly related to the testing pro-gram instituted in 2005 to stop players from using performance-enhancing drugs. But didn’t pitchers also use steroids?

Sports Illustrated recently featured a story about Dan Naulty, who pitched rather unsuc-cessfully for the Twins and Yankees from 1996 through 1999. By Naulty’s admission, he would never have reached the

big leagues without the help of steroids.

Once he got there, his body began to break down, and he discovered that he had lost his desire to play the game. Nev-ertheless, Naulty trans-formed himself from a 6-foot-6 string bean who threw in the high 80s into a behemoth that delivered fastballs at 95 miles per hour.

The point is that hitters were not the only play-ers reaping the benefits of steroids, synthetic testosterone and HGH, so I don’t think the plethora of recent no-hitters has anything to do with posi-tion players abandoning the deceitful use of illegal substances.

There might not be a rational explanation, because a longer look back shows us that the

frequency of no-hitters tends to ebb and flow for no discernible reason.

From 1970 through 1979, there were 29 no-hitters in the big leagues (excluding combined no-hitters, which are a different type of achieve-ment). Nolan Ryan had four of those, so it might be instructive that when a future hall of fame starter is in the picture, he can inflate the number all by himself.

From 1980 through 1989, there were only 13 no-hitters, including Len Barker’s perfect game in 1981. In three seasons dur-ing that decade, not even one no-hitter was thrown.

The decade from 1990 through 1999 saw the

no-hit total balloon to 27, with 41 percent being thrown in 1990 and 1991. Ryan was involved again, throwing one no-hitter in each of those years.

Six no-hitters littered the landscape in 1990; all were thrown by premier pitchers: Dave Stieb (against the Tribe), Dave Stewart, Fernando Valen-zuela, Terry Mulholland, Randy Johnson and Ryan.

Five more followed in 1991 and only 16 more for the rest of the decade.

Between 2000 and 2009, the record book had to accommodate only 15 no-hitters, none in 2000 or 2005. Derek Lowe threw one for the Red Sox against the Rays in 2002.

From 2010 to the pres-ent, 14 no-hitters already have been thrown, includ-ing six in 2010, which included perfect games by

Roy Halladay and Dallas Braden. Ubaldo Jimenez threw a no-hitter for the Rockies, and Halladay threw a second no-hitter for the Phillies in the playoffs.

Fans and the media begin to wonder whether no-hitters are becoming devalued when journey-man starters get in on the act.

Edwin Jackson joined the small group of no-hit pitchers in 2010, despite enduring a career that in-cludes a 63-63 record and a 4.36 earned-run aver-age. Jackson’s career-best season came not in 2010 but in 2008, when he won 14 games.

Matt Garza also threw a no-hitter in 2010. No question that Garza’s arm can deliver dazzling stuff, but his inconsistency has produced a 54-59 record

and 3.85 ERA. Not bad, but far from sterling.

Humber’s perfect game this year belies a career record of 13-14 and a 4.35 ERA. His best year was last season, when he was 9-9. Braden has tumbled off the earth after under-going shoulder surgery last year.

If there are discover-able reasons why the frequency of no-hitters varies strikingly from year to year or decade to decade, maybe the inves-tigation should center on the baseballs, the umpir-ing, the ballparks or the weather.

“It’s just life,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “There are going to be some years when there aren’t any no-hitters.”

Maybe we’re dealing with the whims of pure chance.

COMMENTARY

Players embrace new scoring appeals processOAKLAND, CALIF. (AP)

— Oakland’s Coco Crisp tracked Robinson Cano’s drive to right-center. He seemed ready to make the catch — until he got caught between deciding whether to jump or stay on his feet and the ball bounced off his glove.

Cano easily got into second base as New York Yankees teammate Curtis Granderson came around to score. Official scorer Chuck Dybdal ruled it a two-base error.

To many at the ballpark, the call seemed routine. But the Yankees were be-wildered. They filed an appeal with Major League Baseball the following day to give Cano an RBI dou-ble. And their wish was quickly granted by MLB executive vice president Joe Torre, a pattern that is being repeated much

more frequently under a streamlined appeals pro-cess for official scoring calls.

“You can see it and then you can appeal,” Cano said. “It’s a good thing you can appeal, because some-times those things, maybe can be the one that — you can hit 2,000 hits. Maybe a double, you can hit 500 doubles. Or the RBI — you can get 1,000 RBIs. Who knows? You know how hard it is to get a hit or double in this game.”

Don’t forget how hard it is to pitch. The Mets took a shot at getting R.A. Dick-ey’s one-hit gem against Tampa Bay on Wednes-day belatedly changed from a one-hitter to a no-hitter. But no luck. That appeal got turned down.

“We took advantage of the process,” Mets man-ager Terry Collins said.

“You can do it, so we gave it a shot. We didn’t win it. We didn’t expect to win it. Just gave it a try. If we had won it, we’ve got another no-hitter.”

Both cases have their roots in player complaints about official scoring dur-ing last year’s collective bargaining talks, leading to a new appeals process and an effort by MLB to try to bring more consis-tency to official scoring decisions from city to city and scorer to scorer.

Team officials are not supposed to “initiate com-munication” with scorers, and MLB will punish peo-

ple who “intimidate, influ-ence or pressure” scorers into changing calls.

Instead, a player or team can appeal any call to MLB within 24 hours af-ter it is made. While base-ball will not release num-bers on how many appeals there have been this year, scorers, teams and players say it is up considerably from last year when 12 of 58 plays appealed under the old system were over-turned.

“It’s a good thing be-cause it’s less of a distrac-tion as the game goes on and there’s a call that, at face value, you say, ‘That’s

a hit or that’s an error,’” Angels manager Mike Sci-oscia said. “There’s a pro-cess in place where you ask the league to take a look. It’s one less distrac-tion that can happen in the dugout, where guys are saying, ‘Are you (kidding) me?’”

After a successful ap-peal, the call and corre-sponding statistics are changed with no fanfare or announcement.

In the play involving Cano and Crisp on May 25 in Oakland, A’s starter Tyson Ross had three earned runs added to his ledger just hours after be-ing sent down to Triple-A from 5.94 to 6.51 without throwing an additional pitch.

“That’s unfortunate be-cause I believe I should have caught that,” Crisp said. “That works out

in my favor but Tyson doesn’t deserve those runs. It should have been an error.”

Baltimore’s Nick John-son was on the winning side of an appeal earlier this year when Torre ruleda ball Eduardo Nunez of the Yankees allowed tofall in left field on May 1 should have been a doublenot an error.

“I like it,” Johnson said of the new process. “Ithink it’s going to workwell. Just another set ofeyes to take another look at it. You hear back fromthem in two, three daysand go from there.”

Minnesota scorer StewThornley said he has had calls overturned on appeal and likes the new process better than the confronta-tions with players or team officials that used to bemore frequent.

There’s a process in place where you ask the league to take a look. It’s one less distraction that can happen in the dugout ...”

Championship when he lost a two-shot lead to Y.E. Yang.

“I’m just going to have to shoot a good round to-morrow, and post early and see what happens,” Woods said.

All was not lost for Woods, not to mention another dozen or so play-ers. In a U.S. Open that has lived up to its reputa-tion this week, it was dif-ficult for anyone to get too far ahead.

McDowell and Furyk were two shots ahead of Fredrik Jacobson, who had a 68. Another shot behind was a group that included Lee Westwood, whose Saturday-best 67 gave him another shot at his first major; and Er-nie Els, who holed a long pitch for eagle on the 17th that carried him to a 68. The Big Easy is a two-time U.S. Open cham-pion, with that first title coming 18 years ago.

“Experience helps around here,” Els said. “For some reason, I’m pa-tient again this week and that’s been kind of my virtue in major champi-onship golf, the ability to be patient and wait it out. And I think you’re going to have to do that tomor-row.”

Thirteen players were separated by four shots going into today, a list that includes 17-year-old Beau Hossler, who followed bo-geys with birdies for a 70.

Woods, who has never won a major from behind, was five shots back. His round ended with a shot from the middle of the 18th fairway that hung up in the right collar of rough, and a stubbed chip that took a hard turn to the left some 10 feet away.

When he two-putted for his sixth bogey, his day got a little worse. Climbing the hill toward the fabled clubhouse at Olympic, a photographer brushed past him and Woods banged his hand into the camera. He shook it several times, but later said he was fine.

The real hurt came from Olympic.

“It was just a tough day on the greens, and most of the day, I just kept getting that half-number, right in between clubs all day,” said Woods, who was ei-ther well long or short on his approach shots.

Furyk, the only player who has not had a round over par in this champion-ship, and McDowell played together in the opening two rounds. Both are simi-lar players who appear to be a good fit for Olympic — control off the tee and a strong fight to avoid bo-geys. McDowell referred to Furyk as a “plodder,” which at the U.S. Open is a high compliment.

“It doesn’t have to look or be fancy. It has to work,” Furyk said. “And

I think we have styles of games where we put the ball into play, we put the ball on the green and take our chance at the putt and then move on.”

But this was not shaping up as a two-man race for McDowell and Furyk.

“Looking at the leader-board, you’ve got to look down as far as the guys at 3 or 4 (over) as having a realistic chance of win-ning this tournament,” McDowell said.

That includes some regular characters, such as Westwood and Els and even two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, who was five shots be-hind. And it features new-comers to this stage like Nicolas Colsaerts, the big hitter from Belgium — and even a high school kid.

For every bogey Hossler made, he answered with a birdie on the next hole.

His only big blunder came on the 11th, when he was too aggressive with a downhill putt and missed his par putt from 6 feet. Two holes later, he hit a heavy chip from the hazard that rolled back down a slope for another bogey. The kid just wouldn’t go away, though, and suddenly he is dreaming big.

Hossler wanted to make the cut. Then, he wanted to be the low amateur. Now?

“My goal now is to win the tournament,” he said.

In the 14 majors he has won, Woods was never worse than par in the piv-otal third round and had a scoring average of 68.3. There was no way that was going to hold up on a course like Olympic, though Woods was ex-pecting better than what he delivered on this Sat-urday.

He missed the first fair-way, came up short of the third green and wound up with three bogeys through six holes.

Woods wasn’t alone in making mistakes. David Toms, tied for the second-round lead with Furyk and Woods at 1 under, played that rugged six-hole stretch in 5 over and fell six shots behind with a 76.

Even with the USGA watering the course Fri-day night and Saturday morning, Olympic was as relentless as ever.

But it wasn’t impos-sible.

Westwood showed that, as did Els, who called it as easy as the course played all week.

Kevin Chappell, who tied for third last year to earn a spot in this U.S. Open, had a 68 and takes an unthinkable streak of 24 holes without a bogey into the final round. He was at 3-over 213, along with Webb Simpson, who also had a 68.

Asked if the experience at Congressional would help, Chappell gave an apt description of what awaits today.

“Last year we were try-ing to make birdies in the U.S. Open,” he said. “And here, you’re just trying to survive.”

Westwood came in right behind Chappell, and while he failed to take advantage on the par5s, he finished in style with a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th for a 67. West-wood began this week asthe third wheel in a pow-erful threesome of the top players in the worldranking. Luke Donald, the world No. 1, and de-fending champion Rory McIlroy have gone home.Westwood now has an-other chance to pick uphis first major.

He twice has missed a playoff by one shot, in the2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines and the 2009 Brit-ish Open at Turnberry. Hetwice as been runner-up in the majors.

A win today would end that heartache, and returnhim to No. 1 in the world.

“I think I’ve prob-ably been in contentionin major championships more than anybody elseover the last three or four years,” Westwood said. “So I’m looking forward to tomorrow and hopeful-ly go out and have some fun and see what hap-pens.”

The Olympic Club identifies — and embarrasses — the bestBy Jim Litke

The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — The real star of this U.S. Open won’t swing a golf club even once this week. Most fans couldn’t pick him out of a lineup. No matter how aggravating The Olympic Club plays, he barely has enough hair left to pull any out.

He’s Mike Davis, who became executive di-rector of the U.S. Golf Association only last year, but has been responsible for setting up the U.S. Open courses for a half-dozen years now. One of his predecessors in both jobs, Sandy Tatum, was asked during one of the toughest Opens ever — the so-called “Massacre at Winged Foot” in 1974 — whether the USGA was

trying to embarrass the world’s best golfers.

“No,” Tatum famously replied, “we’re trying to identify them.”

Thanks to Davis’ handiwork alongside the Pacific Ocean this week, golf fans are getting to watch plenty of both.

There’s no question about the quality of the names playing musical chairs on the leaderboard — Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk, Graeme McDowell and Ernie Els, all of whom have won at least one U.S. Open. But whoever winds up on the top by close of light today will probably know exactly why the place has been nicknamed the “graveyard of cham-pions.”

A year after Rory McIlory posted the low-est U.S. Open score ever

— 16-under 268 — while pummeling a Congres-sional Country Club course already softened by rain, one hand is more than enough to count the number of players under par after three rounds at Olym-pic’s Lake Course.

An even better testa-ment to the Davis’ bal-ancing act is that while fans thrill watching their heroes sweat over nearly every par, not a single player has labeled the setup unfair. And this from a notoriously whiny group known to com-plain when the interior of the courtesy cars clash with their outfits or the wrong brand of shampoo

turns up in the locker room.

“Most people don’t un-derstand, it doesn’t matter how you set up a course, if you give them the ability to know when the ball lands that it’s going to stop, it’s significantly easier. That’s what is go-ing to make the U.S. Open this year — without us trying to retaliate — that much harder,” Davis said before the players arrived at Olympic.

“When it lands, wheth-er it hits the green or it’s in the fairway, it’s going to roll. You have to think about what happens when it lands.”

That last part of the puzzle befuddled both the No. 1 and 2 players in the world, Luke Donald and McIlroy, who missed the cut and like countless

golf fans are probably burrowed into a couch in front of the TV with wid-ening grins on their faces. Just before heading for the airport Friday, Donald was asked how much harder Olympic was than Congressional.

“What was Rory after two days?” he asked

Told it was 10-under par — though it was actually 9 under — Don-ald brightened and said, “Probably about 10 shots harder then.”

Make that 20 shots, since McIlroy was 10 over at the time, but who’s counting?

Truth be told, more than a few guys.

“Last year we were try-ing to make birdies in the U.S. Open, and here,” said Kevin Chappell, “you’re trying to just survive.”

Exactly what makes it that depends on who you talk to, one more testament to Davis’ skill and the break he caught when four days of dry, sunny weather and light breezes made the course play just as firm and as fast as he envisioned.

“It just goes to show that firm greens scare the life out of professional golfers,” Padraig Har-rington said.

“Off the tee, it’s the most demanding,” Jordan Spieth said. “You’re try-ing to place a drive out there that’s going to carry 275 and land it in a 10-yard space.”

“It’s the reverse cam-bers,” McIlroy said before departing.

Right. Whatever those are.

Westwood in hunt for first major titleThe Chicago Tribune

SAN FRANCISCO — Lee Westwood has nine top-fives in major champion-ships. So, yes, you could say he’s due.

“Every time you get yourself in contention, you learn something new,” he said. “But the main thing is to believe I’m good enough. I must be if I keep getting my-self in contention often enough.”

He surged into the mix Saturday with a 3-under 67 capped off with a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole.

“I had a lot of fun out there,” said Westwood,

who sits at 2 over, three strokes off the lead.

Westwood, 39, has yet to win a major. But he insists he’s not stressed about it.

“After you’ve been do-ing it for 20 seasons, it’s time to relax and give yourself a break and enjoy it,” he said. “You look at people’s faces and they’re looking pretty wound up and stressed, aren’t they? There aren’t many smiles, which is a shame because it’s one of the biggest tournaments of the year and one I would assume everybody looks forward to.

“All I’m trying to do is get into contention and

see if I can finish it off and have a bit of fun doing it.”

!Timely three: Ernie Els

was beaming after an ea-gle on the 17th hole. His 2-under 68 leaves him in position to contend at 2 over.

Els chipped in from 50 yards with his third shot on the 502-yard hole.

“That shot is what dreams are made of,” he said. “I’m really pleased.

“I was pin high, and the green angles toward you. I was in the fringe there with a beautiful lie. It’s one of those one-in-a-thousand shots.”

!In the hunt: Retief Goos-

en and Martin Kaymer have several things in common: They’re interna-tional players, major win-ners and lurking at 4 over after shooting 69 in the third round.

Kaymer, who won the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, is known for having one of the game’s most reliable left-to-right shots.

“Well, it used to be the cut,” he said. “Now I’m pretty straight, but I can hit it both ways, which is nice.”

Goosen, who won the 2001 (Southern Hills) and 2004 (Shinnecock) U.S Opens, said “the greens are getting a little like Shin-

necock. If I can keep hit-ting fairways and greens (Sunday) and give myself a few (birdie) chances, you never know.”

!Low-key birthday: Phil

Mickelson turned 42 Sat-urday, marking the occa-sion with his second 71. In what has become almost an Open tradition, fans serenaded him with “Hap-py Birthday” as he was on the 18th green.

After a long slog through Olympic, though, Mickelson wasn’t in the chirpiest of moods.

“It’s a long, difficult day, even though it’s my birth-day,” the Hall of Famer said. “It was very flatter-

Robinson savoring summer in LawrenceBy Gary Bedore

gbedore@ljworld.com

Russell Robinson, who has played professional basketball in Spain and Turkey the past two sea-sons after a stint in the NBA Developmental League, says he’s thor-oughly enjoyed compet-ing overseas.

“The money is good. The competition’s good everywhere in Europe,” said Robinson, starting point guard on Kansas University’s 2008 NCAA championship team.

There’s been one huge drawback to earning six-figure paychecks, how-ever.

“I miss home. That’s the biggest thing,” said Robinson, a 26-year-old native of New York. “I get away and enjoy it a little bit, but then I get home-sick.”

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound-er returned from a six-month stay in Trabzon, Turkey in mid-May. He spent a few weeks with family members in New York, before heading to Lawrence on Thurs-day for the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic charity basketball game — one in which he scored 21 points off 7-of-17 shooting. He hit five threes.

“I’ll be here two weeks. I booked a one-way flight here. Maybe I’ll stay lon-ger,” said Robinson, who plans on working out with KU’s current players, who are in town for summer school.

“I love to come back any chance I get. It’s always good to be around some love. With KU fans, you feel a lot of love,” Robin-son added.

He averaged 13.4 points (off 47.8 percent shoot-ing), 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals a game last season for Turkish League team Trabzonspor.

“I had a couple mi-nor things that nagged me,” said Robinson, who

missed several games because of a dislocated thumb and sprained knee.

“That whole tourna-ment run saved my sea-son,” he added of the Jayhawks advancing to the national title game in the NCAA Tournament. “(Because of the injuries) I was a little stressed out over there. Watching them on TV ... seeing the guys do so well helped me so much.”

He wasn’t surprised the Jayhawks stormed past

North Carolina and Ohio State en route to the title game appearance vs. Ken-tucky.

“They had two great players in Tyshawn (Tay-lor) and T-Rob (Thomas Robinson) and other guys playing well. And coach (Bill) Self, who is a great coach,” Robinson said in an interview at Self’s Parent-Child camp on Friday.

Robinson plans on play-ing in Wednesday’s Bill Self camp alumni game

while finalizing plans for next season.

“I’ve got some things on the table now,” Robin-son said. “The NBA ... I’m still trying to do that. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll go back over there (Europe). I’ve done (NBA) summer league four years. I’ve played for a lot of teams. We’ll see if that’s an op-tion.

“Europe is always an option for me. I could al-ways go back to the D-League. We’ll see.”

HALL OF

FAME

J.D. Bowersock surely never envisioned his elegant Beaux-Arts-style opera house with

a Plexiglas dance floor and disco lights, people crammed shoulder-to-

shoulder while Ike and Tina Turner rocked the stage, or even harbor-ing unorthodox Christmas trees in its every nook and cranny.

In the last 100 years, the build-ing now called Liberty Hall has

changed names and motifs but rarely strayed from its identity as a com-munity gathering place.

Bowersock de-scendent Stephen Hill, a Lawrence

resident, says that’s probably fitting.

“I think he under-stood from the first that this was a contribution to the cultural life of Law-rence,” Hill says.

Liberty Hall’s current owners, David and Susan Millstein, of Baldwin, see the building at Seventh and Massachusetts streets as more than just a busi-ness.

“We feel the same way that Bowersock felt about it,” David Millstein says. “You always need a place for entertainment and community, and we’re here to fulfill that.”

1928First wedding performed in building.

1929Air conditioning installed, making the Dickinson one of only two public places in town to have it.

1940Theater changes hands, con-test held to rename it. The Jayhawker is chosen because of the venue’s close associa-tion with Kansas University (KU drama performances and other events had been held on the site since the 1800s).

1940Jayhawker hosts world pre-miere of “Dark Command.” The film, starring John Wayne, was set in Lawrence and inspired by the story of Quantrill’s Raid.

1960sCivil Defense flags building as one of safest in town for a bomb shelter

1964Building bought by John Brown and Mike Murfin, who open it as the Red Dog Inn. New concert venue draws acts including the Dick Clark Show, Arlo Guthrie, Fleetwood Mac and Ike and Tina Turner. At one point, owners once told the Journal-World, Red Dog was the largest draught Budweiser account in the country.

1974Red Dog closes, building chang-es hands and identities numer-ous times in the next decade. Ventures include the Free State Opera House, the 7th Spirit Club (a nightclub in the basement), Bugsy’s Disco and the Lawrence Opera House.

1982Lawrence Opera House closes, building goes up for auction. Venue open only for private parties.

The heart of The Flaming

Lips——

At 43, Steven Drozd is the young Flaming Lip. In a band with a Grammy-winning, inno-vative psych-freak-reputation-gaining, 20-year-plus career, Drozd is a talented multi-in-strumentalist widely known to be the musical backbone to the group, the person who can take wild and wonderful frontman Wayne Coyne’s wacky ideas and help structure them into beloved songs. Drozd grew up in Houston, his father a semi-professional polka musician. In his early 20s, already an accom-plished drummer, he moved to Norman, Okla., where he met Coyne.

Dear Lawrence Project reduxNot so fast if you

were thinking about putting away that

shoebox of old photos. In light of the response

we received from readers and the popularity of the Dear Lawrence Project, we’ve decided to bring it back for another go-around.

The Journal-World and LJWorld.com will soon be accepting digital sub-missions. More details on the submission process will come later, but right now the important part, if you’re interested in par-ticipating, is to start gath-ering your subject matter.

For those of you unfa-miliar with the project, you can do Google search of “Dear Lawrence Proj-ect” to find links to the in-troduction as well as last year’s gallery to provide you with some examples. If you’ve read this already and are a seasoned “re-photographic” pro, feel free to skip ahead or stop reading right here.

In my opinion and through past experience, the images that most suc-cessfully bridge the visual gap between old and new are the ones that align the best. If you were like me and got a C- in geometry,

you’ll likely have to spend a bit more time out in the field before things start to make sense.

Although we aren’t looking for perfection, here are some tips to help you through the process:

My first suggestion is to use a wide-angle lens pri-marily for the depth that you will get. Depth is your friend in this project, and it enables focus on your pri-mary subject (the photo-

graph in your hand) as well as within your background (the current scene). Also, reshooting a photo held out in front of you while try-ing to include the existing space is tough to do, even with a normal lens, such as a 50 mm.

Second, I would say to keep the photograph as parallel as possible with the front of the lens. If you skew the photo in your hand, the overlaying of

the images will be thrown out of whack.

Third, use elements within the photo, i.e. side-walks, fences, houses, buildings and even people, to measure scale. If the roof line of the old photo and the current scene line up but the ground doesn’t, you’re probably too close or too far away and simply need to move a few steps and then reposition.

For those of you shoot-ing with wide-angle zooms, it seems easier to choose a focal length and physically move forward or backward rather than trying to align by zoom-ing, but whatever works.

This may not be a tip, but the images don’t neces-sarily have to be old or of recognizable places to be effective. Most of us don’t have an archive that in-cludes pictures of the Cam-panile being constructed, but Joyce Halderman did and it was pretty cool.

Just about everyone, however, has pictures of family and friends in and around town, and I en-courage you not to pass these over. I’d say if you have images of people and places that are dear to you and the location is still ac-cessible, give it a shot.

Stay tuned for more de-tails and good luck.

Photo by Joyce Halderman

THE CAMPANILE AT KANSAS UNIVERSITY was dedicated in May of 1951 in honor of military personnel who died serv-ing in World War II. Joyce Halderman’s dad, Clem Zillner, was a carpenter who worked for Constant Construction Company at the time. This is a picture of the of the wooden scaffolding used to support the men working on the structure. It was taken looking north over Memorial Stadium at the back of Strong Hall. The picture was taken last year as part of the Dear Lawrence Project, which is coming back this year.

What’s your opinion of lay people getting ordained to perform wedding ceremonies?Online ordination capitalism at work

Minister’s training can be beneficial but not necessary for marriage

Jeff Barclay, lead pas-tor, Christ Community Church, 1100 Kasold Drive:

I am far less concerned with online, mail-order ordinations as I am with couples opting out of mar-riage entirely, or attempts to redefine marriage as something other than a union between a man and woman.

The house church movement is growing in popularity, and most of these groups do not have recognized clergy. Secu-larism has left many Kan-sans without any religious sect with which to identi-fy. However, since Kansas marriage statutes appear to require an “authorized officiating person” (Kan-sas Statute 23-104a), on-line ordinations are on the rise.

My basic understand-ing about marriage comes from the Old Testament. Marriage is an agree-ment between a man and a woman. It is accompa-nied by a commitment ceremony that recognizes the couple’s dual respon-sibilities to each other as a sacred vow and legal con-tract. Marriage officiants, as well as the two witness-es, legitimize this mutual declaration, while verify-ing both partners are over the age of 18 and that they have come together will-ingly.

My expectation is that couples receive some kind of pre-marriage prepa-ration. Kansas does not require such instruction. This is unfortunate. The

costs of a failed mar-riage are often more than a traf-fic accident. More than a registra-tion fee and a blood test

should be expected of anyone get-ting behind the wheel of a marriage. I have doubts as to online ordained mar-riage officials devoting much time to premarital counseling.

A check of online ordi-nation reveals capitalistic supply and demand at its ridiculous best! One site offered free ordination. Others sold wall certifi-cates suitable for framing. But more than a few sites required the spending of some serious “plastic.” Ironically, the truth is a couple don’t have to have an ordained official per-form their wedding.

Kansas Statute 23-104a concludes that after a li-cense has been issued, a marriage may be sol-emnized and contracted: “The two parties them-selves, by mutual declara-tions that they take each other as husband and wife, in accordance with the customs, rules, and regu-lations of any religious society, denomination or sect to which either of the two parties belong, may be married without an authorized officiating person.”

The Rev. Kent Winters-Hazelton, pastor, First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway:

The practice of online (or mail-in) ordination of-fers both benefits and the potential for abuse.

Traditionally, ordina-tion, proffered within a religious tradition or de-nomination, allows one to conduct religious rituals and service within that tradition’s practices, some of which are recognized by civil law (i.e., wed-dings).

My colleagues in min-istry receive extensive training to become eligible for ordination. That train-ing includes seven years college and graduate-level education, psychologi-cal testing, and scores of evaluations, interviews and exams by our denomi-nations to determine our fitness for service and or-dination.

Unlike the medical, le-gal and academic profes-sions, there are no specific standards one must meet in order to conduct our work. Meanwhile, ordi-nation is now offered by dozens of nontraditional channels.

In my view, a minister’s training is invaluable for the work we do within our faith community’s con-text, but is not necessary to read the words that are part of a wedding cer-emony. A friend I knew in college had completed

s e m i n a r y training but did not pur-sue ordina-tion. When asked if he could con-duct a wed-ding, he contacted

the state, who advised

him that they recognized ordinations by mail. He filled out the form, sent in his check and conducted the wedding. Many peo-ple have been married by someone they respected whose license to perform marriages has been issued by a nonreligious organi-zation, often through the Internet.

This practice becomes problematic when some-one ordained through an online service offers pro-fessional services with-out any accountability. Priests, rabbis, imams and ministers are subject to their respective ecclesias-tical authorities and rules of discipline; online minis-ters are not.

Another problem oc-curs when the ordination is used to avoid taxes, or to establish a housing al-lowance tax-deduction that is provided to clergy, while not actually seeking to conduct religious ser-vices.

ARTS NOTES

Chinese acrobats swing into Lawrence

The show, which begins at 7 p.m., will feature plate spinning, foot juggling and team acrobatics.

Tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for children, and can be purchased at the Liberty Hall box office or online at ticketmaster.com.

Youths to perform classic comedy

The Lawrence Arts Center’s Summer Youth Theater is preparing to kick off performances of the classic Depression-era comedy “You Can’t Take It With You.”

The play, written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, takes place in a large house occupied by the Sycamores, a slightly crazy New York family.

Performances are sched-uled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. June 24 at the Arts Center.

Tickets for all shows are $9.50 for adults and $6.50 for students and seniors.

Perhaps you take your summer reads with a side of fluff, eager to flip pag-es or skim screens with tales as frothy as the surf, light as a ray of sunshine, happy as a kid in a theme park. Or maybe your sum-mer reading program is meant to add furrows to your brain as a refresher on the classics the size of a boat anchor. We’re aiming squarely at the middle, with a selection of elegantly written titles offering a strong sense of place, history lessons and a compelling story.

“A Dark and Lonely Place” by Edna Buchanan

(Hardcover, 2011, Simon & Schuster, 432 pages)

This fac-tually based h i s t o r i c a l novel takes place well b e f o r e mouse ears b e c a m e F l o r i d a ’ s u n o f f i -cial state s y m b o l , when star-c r o s s e d and ill-fated lov-ers John A s h l e y and Lau-ra Upthegrove got caught up in a dangerous life of prison breaks, boot-legging and bank robbery.

“History’s always fas-cinated me,” Buchanan, a Pulitzer-Prize-winning crime reporter for the Miami Herald before becoming a bestselling novelist, told us in an interview. “Newspapers are the first draft of his-tory.” She is best known for her Brit Montero books, where the thinly veiled version of herself chases crime news while her love life ebbs and flows like a crashing tide and her pea-brained edi-tor rips into her copy like a vampire draining life from a victim’s neck.

“I loved the police beat,” Buchanan said. “It was like Shake-speare in the raw. You don’t learn as much about people in any other beat.”

This book is quite dif-ferent. It is set in an era where Burdine’s (the Florida equivalent of Rich’s, which also be-

came part of the Ma-cy’s em-pire) was still the name of a trading post and where W i n s l o w Homer wan-ders into the action to sketch a riv-er scene one day. Yet like the Montero novels and B u c h a n a n ’ s other Miami-

based titles, the writ-ing in “Dark and Lonely Place” crackles like dry kindling.

The Floridian version of the Bonnie and Clyde story is peppered with in-triguing bits of Florida his-tory, making this both an enjoyable and informative page-turner. “It was really harder than I thought,” Buchanan said. “It usu-ally takes me about a year to write a book. I got so caught up in the research, it took me twice as long as I thought. John and Laura had been simmering in my head for so long I thought it would be easy.”

The result was worth the wait.

“Unfamiliar Fishes” by Sarah Vowell

(Paperback, 2012, River-head Trade, 256 pages)

This book explores an-other paradise destination, Hawaii. But the essayist and nonfiction author known for her monologues on “This American Life” tells the ex-haustively researched story of how H a w a i i was frog-m a r c h e d into state-hood follow-ing decades of American imperialism. (USA! USA!) Vowell ex-plores the his-tory of Ameri-ca’s annexation of Hawaii with wit as dry as a weathered palm frond. She muses about what deposed Queen Liliuokalani would think of Hawaiian-born President Barack Obama being ser-enaded on his inauguration by schoolchildren singing “Aloha ‘Oe,” one of the songs she wrote.

“I have a lot of respect and admiration for her, not just as a person but as a writer, as a musician,” Vowell said. After you’ve read her book, the image of Hawaiian dancers en-tertaining tourists at re-sorts by performing the hula will conjure the old chestnut about developers who knock down stately old trees to make way for tacky new subdivisions, then name new streets af-ter the fallen giants.

“Creole Belle” by James Lee Burke

(Hardcover, July 17, Si-mon & Schuster, 544 pag-es)

The latest in Burke’s

Dave Robicheaux se-ries will be released midsummer, when the sun beats down on Louisiana like a fist. The book starts where “The Glass Rainbow” (2010) left off, with Ro-bicheaux in the hospital recovering from his lat-est run-in with bad guys, and picks up the series with renewed vigor.

As always, Burke’s muscular writing teeters on the edge of a purple prose canyon without ever quite falling in (the sun always seems to be a molten drop of honey in his world, the sky de-scribed in one passage as blue and hard as an inverted ceramic bowl) and his love of Louisi-ana is as fierce as his dis-gust at corporate titans whose greed puts profits a b o v e the environ-

ment. Similar to his 2007 title “The Tin Roof Blowdown,” about a mur-der mystery amid the destruction and after-math of Ka-trina, the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill is a vil-l a i n o u s character

here.

“Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand”by Helen Simonson

(Paperback, 2010, Ran-dom House Trade Paper-backs, 384 pages)

So, you are hopping across the pond to Mother England for the Olympics, the Queen’s Jubilee or to try to glimpse Pippa Mid-dleton? Splendid. Whilst you may be amping up your Anglophile cred with a ream of “Downton Ab-bey” reruns, this utterly charming tale not only paints a vivid portrait of life in an English village, it also explores the coun-try’s growing diversity.

The love story between a very proper English wid-ower and the vivacious Pakistani woman who causes some tongues to wag is something of an allegory for England’s in-creasingly multicultural population.

A few summer readsExperience the world from your easy chair

By Jennifer BrettThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution

New series helps you travel ‘Like a Local’

NEW YORK — Peter Greenberg wants you to travel like a local, not a tourist, and he’s written a new series of guidebooks to help.

The “Like a Local” series is debuting with books on New Orleans, the Caribbean, Miami and the Keys, Buenos Aires and Cuba. E-book ver-sions are out in July, and the next five titles in the series, New York, London, Peru, Washington, D.C., and the “Great Cities of Europe,” due in April 2013.

What makes the “Like a Local” books different from traditional guide-books, says Greenberg, who is travel editor for CBS News, is that they rely on recommendations from people who live in those cities about where to go and what to do and see.

“How many of my fel-low Americans go to an American-branded ho-tel when they travel and order a cheeseburger from room service?” said Greenberg. “What I want to do is hang out with the locals: the maid, the bellman, not the general manager. I want to go to the local fire depart-

ment for recommenda-tions because those guys have been in everybody’s house and every restau-rant. They know where the values are, where the best prices are.”

Among his favorite spots, all found by talk-ing to locals, are authentic chick-en jerk places in Jamaica like Scotchie’s in Montego Bay; the tango clubs and venues in Bue-nos Aires called milongas that of-ten start with a lesson and public dance, with more accomplished dancers taking the floor later; and Captain Charlie’s Reef Grill in Juno Beach, Fla., a seafood place in a strip mall a good 80 miles from Miami “but totally worth the drive,” said Green-berg. “They usually have a line of 40 people and there’s a reason for that.”

In addition to lodging, food, nightlife, shopping and other activities, the books offer basics like trip-planning advice, a calendar of events, and background on the desti-nations’ history, arts and architecture. Fun features

include recommendations for movies and literature, such as books by V.S. Nai-paul, Jamaica Kincaid and Junot Diaz for the Carib-bean, and films ranging from “A Streetcar Named Desire” to “The Big Easy” and “When the Levees

Broke” for New Orleans. Other highlights in each book are lists of “Peter’s Top Picks,” such as Mulate’s for music in New Orleans, and quick travel tips, like where to find after-midnight drinks in Boca

Raton, Fla. (Funky Buddha Lounge and Blue Martini).

Greenberg acknowl-edged that the Cuba guide is different from the oth-ers because Americans are only legally allowed to travel there on one of the “People to People” tours recently approved by the U.S. government. These tours usually have detailed itineraries that keep participants on a restricted schedule of meetings and sight-seeing. But Greenberg claims it’s not unusual for individuals to devi-ate from the schedules,

and his book is designed for those adventurous travelers: “I don’t know anybody who goes on these trips who doesn’t go off on their own for a day. I’m not saying you should, but I’m tell-ing you that people do.” He added that while he doesn’t want to encour-age anyone to “violate the rules,” the fact is that some Americans also vis-it Cuba illegally by trav-eling to a third country like Mexico and flying to Havana from there.

The “Like a Local” series is published by Michelin, which also publishes a se-ries of Red Guides for hotels and restaurants and Green Guides for general tourism. The company is known for its discriminating star rat-ings for restaurants.

New bio of Joyce comes

up short

One could argue —and I would, against allcomers and without res-ervation — that James Joyce was the greatestwriter of the last century.Joyce was also the luckysubject of one of the best literary biographies of any century: Richard Ell-mann’s “James Joyce,” first published in 1959and extensively revised in 1982.

Taking on that legacy is a tall order. In his own “James Joyce,” biogra-pher Gordon Bowker tries to do so and comesup short.

The first challenge con-fronting any Joyce biog-rapher is separating fact from literary fiction.

Given its autobio-graphical inflections, bothBowker and Ellmann drawparallels between Joyce’s life and his work. But as Ellmann cautions, evenwith a roman a clef like“Ulysses,” “no key quite fits.” Bowker ignores that caution sign.

Worse, Bowker makesstrained connections between fact and fic-tion; at one point, for ex-ample, he suggests thatthe long walks taken by Joyce’s father “fore-shadow the wanderingnarrative line whichsnakes through most ofhis son’s fiction.”

Ellmann isn’t just a bet-ter reader of Joyce’s fic-tion. He is also a moreperceptive reader ofJoyce’s life.

Building to lastAfter his first Bower-

sock Opera House burned down in 1911, Bowersock rebuilt it to last, using brick and reinforced concrete.

And last it has.The people of Law-

rence showed up to watch opera, vaudeville and silent films, which eventually gave way to “talkies.” After Bower-sock’s death, the building was sold and repurposed as a movie theater — first the Dickinson and later the Jayhawker.

The lengthiest period the building was not open to the public was in the 1950s and 1960s. It was being used as warehouse space and faced the threat of being razed.

“It was unsightly,” Millstein says. “It was the after-thought of downtown.”

But by the mid-’60s, crowds re-turned — this time louder and rowdier than ever.

The Red Dog Inn brought national acts like the Dick Clark Show, Arlo Guthrie and Fleet-wood Mac, and hundreds of beer-drinking fans along with them to the old theater.

Good timesIke and Tina Turner

was the first show Mill-stein saw there after ar-riving in town as a college student.

There was only sup-posed to be about 1,000 people in the hall, but there must’ve been twice that, Millstein says. The crowd was packed like sardines, and the atmo-sphere was charged. Basically, he says, it was insanity.

“Ike was just — he was pushin’ it hard, man,” Millstein reminisces.

In the 1970s, there was even a nightclub in the basement — the 7th Spirit crammed smaller-name bands and fans into the low-ceilinged, meander-ing underground level now used as dressing rooms for performers.

When current Liberty Hall event manager Rob Fitzgerald came to Law-rence for college in 1980, he hit Liberty Hall his first night. The hall be-came a regular hangout, where hundreds of people a night might show up for a punk band — BYOB.

“We had a good time,” Fitzgerald says, but the hall was starting to show wear and tear, not to mention it had orange-

carpeted walls left over from its days as a disco.

All the while, in addi-tion to enter-tainment, the hall has seen weddings, speeches, charity so-cials, Kansas University events and, in 1997,

even William S. Bur-roughs’ funeral.

Every day, Fitzgerald says, it seems like people walk in and comment about a show they saw there back in the ’60s, or that relative’s wedding they went to back in the ’90s.

The Festival of Trees is one of Liberty Hall’s longest-running commu-nity events.

For 23 years, members of the community that might not otherwise come together have converged on Liberty Hall for the festival, which raises money for The Shelter Inc., says Judy Culley, executive director.

“It’s a building that has served the community for a long, long time,” she says, adding that the old building’s beauty is a fitting backdrop. “It’s just perfect for it to be at Liberty Hall.”

Give them LibertyWhen the Millsteins

teamed with the late Charlie Oldfather to purchase the building in 1985, it had been vacant a couple of years and was pegged for demolition to make way for a shopping mall.

The Millsteins restored it and renamed it Liberty Hall — after the first des-ignated community hall on the site, back in the 1870s — and reverted its purpose to involve more than partying.

Now, Liberty Hall serves as movie theater, performance theater, concert venue and com-munity event space.

“I think it’s just back to its original function,” Millstein says. “It’s changed its moods a few times in the last hundred years, but I think we’ve struck the balance here. Hopefully we can get an-other 100 years out of it.”

Liberty Hall location saw fires, several rebuildings before 1911Buildings at the corner

of modern-day Seventh and Massachusetts streets date back to at least 1855. But none withstood the test of time — or fire — like present-day Liberty Hall.

The building housing the Herald of Freedom newspaper was burned down in Sheriff Jones’ at-tack on Lawrence in 1856.

It was rebuilt and housed other business-es, but burned again in Quantrill’s Raid in 1863.

Rebuilt again, the next building had a second-floor gathering space that became popular for com-munity events. That space was dedicated in 1870 as the first Liberty Hall — so named because Abra-ham Lincoln once called Lawrence the “cradle of liberty.” At that time, Lib-erty Hall was the center of Lawrence’s public social gatherings, with church suppers, festivals, fairs, dances and hotly contest-ed political debates.

In 1882, J.D. Bowersock

bought the building, de-molished it and created a new community gathering place: the elegant Bower-sock Opera House. The opera house survived a small stage fire in 1896 but was completely destroyed by another fire, which originated in a room off the stage, in 1911.

Bowersock, vowing

the building would never again succumb to fire, and was rebuilt once more —using concrete and brick. One-hundred years later,his “fire-proof” buildingstill stands as a beloved gathering place for the community of Lawrence.

Lawrence, Drozd spoke with Lawrence.com about the massive amount of en-ergy and creativity need-ed for the band’s output, the way things change and his love for Lawrence.

Alex Garrison: I know a lot of people are very ex-cited about this concert. It’s Liberty Hall’s 100th birthday.

Steven Drozd: Yeah, that’s very cool. I can’t think of the last time we played there. It’s been a couple years, at least. We played Kansas City last year, but that doesn’t count. Lawrence is its own entity. You’ve got to give it its own respect.

AG: Yeah, I wanted to ask about your connec-tion to Lawrence, given you’ve been here often and Kliph Scurlock, the Flaming Lips’ drummer, lives here.

SD: Obviously, there’s that. It’s a secondary-home-town kind of show. If we play Oklahoma City, that’s a hometown show; if we play in Houston, then I know my family will come out.

If we play Lawrence, we know that Kliph’s friends will all come out. But even before we had Kliph with us, we always had a special fondness for Lawrence.

Lawrence was seen as a cooler version of Norman, Okla. William Burroughs lived there and that’s great — this crazy, alien-life-force human who lived all around the world decided to live his last 10, 15 years in Lawrence, Kan. It’s just a cool town.

AG: The first time I heard about you, it was as someone was describ-ing you as the musical genius behind the Flam-ing Lips. As a multi-instrumentalist, you’re well-respected and often get that praise. How does that sit with you? Do you feel comfortable with that reputation?

SD: For me, I get to sort of do whatever kind of mu-sic I’d like to try under the umbrella of The Flaming Lips. Wayne is such a great mastermind and salesman to whatever we do that I feel like whatever musical ideas I ever want to try, I’ll always get to try them and use them in some way. So in that re-gard, it’s a satisfying feeling.

Whatever we want to do, we try, and if it fails, at least we tried. I like being consid-ered the ‘musician-musician’ of the group, I guess that’s sort of one of my roles. I think a lot of people don’t investigate the Flaming Lips, don’t think of them as being a very musical group, but if you’re a musician or a muso or a music-theory nerd, if you start to dig into our mu-sic and analyze it, you’d be surprised that there’s really a lot going on there.

So I like that we’re this reckless and wild psyche-delic band, but underneath that there’s this music go-ing on. And we try to do well by it. If I’m considered responsible for that in any way, then, of course, I’ll take the credit. (Laughs.)

AG: So how do you guys work together as a band?

SD: There is this pre-conceived notion that I played all the instruments, but that’s just not true. On “The Soft Bulletin” re-cord, I played most of the parts but by no means all.

I like the way that we work together is that we build on each others’

strengths. We can have a song with a melody but no words, and Wayne could craft the lyrics to give it its meaning.

Likewise, we might have a song that has its chord changes and mel-ody and it’s in place, but it needs to go some other place and do some oth-er thing. That’s where I would come in and help.

Sometimes, we’d write together from the very beginning. I like work-ing all different ways. I like sitting at a piano and writing Elton John-kind-of pop songs or sitting at a drum kit and thinking, ‘Oh, it would be cool if we could base the song on this beat.’ For me, as a quote-unquote musician, it’s great for me to be able to do all these different kind of things.

AG: The Flaming Lips is known as much for music as for your visual extrava-ganza live shows and antics like releasing a six-hour song with names of people who donated to a humane society as lyrics. How do those ideas get generated? Do you focus more on the music itself and Wayne is the ‘packaging’?

SD: Wayne and this guy Wayne works with, George Salisbury, he does the vid-eos and graphics, and any time something’s released, they sit down and hatch the scheme on how it’s go-ing to be released. So it’s really those guys and their team of people who make sure those things evolve, and mostly it comes from Wayne’s imagination.

Really, it’s just music with me. It’s not that I’m asked to and don’t help, or that I don’t want to; it’s that these things just hap-pen so fast.

While you can be wor-ried about the music in this corner, in the other corner, three video treatments are being plotted at the same time and this release that comes in this skull, and so many things are happening all at once and we just nev-er sit down and discuss — it’s just always being thrust forward.

The live shows, it seems that it changes with the years. I think next we’ll still have the videos, but there will be some dif-ferent color schemes and some different looks on stage to fit this new mood of music we’re doing. It’s always mutating.

AG: What’s it like hav-ing so much activity in your life? Is it difficult to keep up and keep going, emotionally or creatively?

SD: The only thing that really beats me down is having to leave home and my family. So if it wasn’t for that, I would be able to handle all of it. We’re kept so busy, you don’t really get time to contemplate.

The touring schedule is sometimes too much for me, but I’m getting better at it. I think, ‘Wow, two years? In two years, we’ve put out this much material. That’s crazy.’ Where it used to be that you’d only put out an album

every two years and that was it. I don’t know if it’s wel-comed by the fans. I don’t know if people think we’re doing too much or if people are like, ‘do more stuff.’ But for us, it’s fun. We never get the chance to get bored.

AG: Getting back to your history, I know you come from a pretty musi-cal family and were play-ing quite young. Did mu-sic look like a way out to some kind of better life for you as a kid?

SD: I never saw it as a ‘way out;’ it’s just what I’ve always wanted to do, since I was 8 years old. It was almost a practical thing. I could help bring in money for my mom and dad, help pay the bills. We were a poor family, so it helped, but I really, really loved it.

After a couple of years playing drums, I was in-terested in playing piano, so I taught myself.

I was rewarded pretty early on — I could pick things up pretty quickly, so I never got frustrated and kept on. But, you know, the rock star you imagine when you’re 8 years old is quite different from the person you end up being at the age of 43.

But when I was 8, I wanted to be in KISS or something. I started play-ing professionally when I was 10. In a couple years, I started to see the real-ity of how grim it can be. Playing American Legion dance halls at 2 o’clock in the morning, hanging out with old drunks, playing country music. It’s excit-ing for about a month. But when you’re an 11-, 12-year-old kid, it gets pretty [expletive] boring pretty quick. (Laughs.)

So on the flip side — there was KISS in my imagination and then there was the reality of guys who’ve been playing music for 30 years and this is just what they do. I got to see that at an early age.

By the time I got into my early 20s, I’d become, in some ways, an old hack. But I’d never been in a band who made their own music and that was my quest. Luckily, I found The Flaming Lips. We found each other. And the way it works now, it’s so far beyond even my 18-year-old imagination for what a rock band could be.

AG: The Flaming Lips have had several serious shifts in sound and genre over the years. Is it that high pace of activity that pushes you to evolve?

SD: Fortunately, we get bored. And more to the point, by now, people ex-pect us to change.

That’s great, because a lot of bands, they put three or four records out, and everyone wants that same trip over and over again. Or they think they want that same trip, so the band does it.

I think it forces us to keep making left turns and evolving. I don’t think there’s ever been a shift that was so radical that people were like, ‘Oh my God, what have they done?’ Well, maybe the shift to “The Soft Bulletin.”

But we’ve never mu-tated so much it turned a corner. Even if we did, our fans would be fine with it.

If people were expect-ing the same thing, it’d be terrible. Here it is, 10 years since “Yoshimi” and if people were expecting us to do that record again, we probably would have killed ourselves by now because we don’t want to do the same thing. We’re lucky; we get to change.

Chinese porcelain can be valuable if properly identified

Chinese porcelains of past cen-turies are selling for very high prices today.

There are many types. Some we identify by the color — like celadon (pale-green glaze) or blue and white (blue decoration on white porcelain, including varieties called Canton or Nan-king) or multicolored patterns named for their dominant color, including famille rose, rose me-dallion, rose mandarin or famille verte (green).

Another American name for some Chinese porcelain is “Chi-nese export porcelain.” It was the made-to-order dinnerware manufactured in China but deco-rated in the European manner and sold to foreign countries in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Because the Chinese often copy old pieces, those who have not studied antique Chinese por-celains can’t tell old from the new. Unrecognized bargains have been found in American

homes. The properly identified pieces sell for thousands of dol-lars.

Look for flawless glazes with-out unintentional bumps or flaws. Turn a vase over. The bot-tom rim that touches the tabletop is usually unglazed if Chinese. European foot rims and bottoms of lids are glazed. Decorations should be carefully painted in light, pleasing colors.

Twentieth-century Chinese wares sold to other countries are often decorated with large figures without much detail and with gold and other bright col-ors. A close look at a fine-quality famille rose vase would show a scene with many small people and animals in a woodland or in-terior setting.

Prices of Chinese porcelain vary with the quality of the work and the age. If you plan to buy an expensive piece, get ex-pert advice. If you own any heir-loom porcelains, take a close look at them. Many 18th-centu-ry and earlier pieces have been rediscovered in recent years. A

decorative piece your grandma or great-grandma bought years ago could be a treasure.

I own a British corona-tion mug dated June 22, 1911. On the front, there’s

a picture of King George V and Queen Mary above the phrase “Urmston Coronation 1911.” Is this of any value? My grand-mother brought it to the United States from England.

Your coronation mug is 100 years old, which qualifies it as an “an-tique.” It’s a souvenir

mug made for the coronation celebration held in Urmston, a town outside of Manchester, England. The coronation of King George V (1865-1936) took place in London on June 22, 1911. He had actually risen to the throne the year before upon the death of his father, King Edward VII. Many souvenirs of King George V’s coronation were made. A mug like yours auctioned last year for 10 British pounds, or a little more than $15.

I have a commemorative silk handkerchief of the coronation of King George VI. It was giv-en to my mom by her brother many years ago. It’s off-white with British flags and red polka dots along the sides and a pic-ture of the king in one corner. The words of H.M. King George VI, May 1937” surround his portrait. The edge of the hand-kerchief is blue. It’s 11 inches square. The movie “The King’s Speech” and the age of my handkerchief have made me cu-rious. Does my hanky have any value beyond sentimental?

Commemorative souvenir items from the coronations, wed-dings and birthdays of royalty have been made since the 1800s. Great quantities of items have been made in pottery, glass, tin, sil-ver and other materials, most with pictures of the monarchs and the date of the commemorated event. The movie may have stimulated interest in items related to King George VI, but the value of your handkerchief has probably not in-creased. It is worth about $30.

Area wines flavored by the vine

This summer is the per-fect time to check out the growing selection

of local wineries — with great vineyard views, cozy tasting rooms and opportunities to listen to music while respon-sibly enjoying a little liquid refreshment.

If you are a wine drinker, you might notice that Kansas wines have different names (besides brands) than the ones often seen from California, Australia and other mass-pro-duction regions. The reason? Wines are typically named for the grape from which they are made. And because the weather is a little different in Kansas than it is in California, Kansas grape growers rely on different grapes.

“There are three different classifications of grapevines, excluding table grapes,” ex-plains Pep Selvan-Solberg, owner of Bluejacket Crossing

Vineyard and Winery near Eudora. He says the Vinifera type is the most prevalent and is the source for most of the wines you might see in a li-quor store. Vinifera requires a longer growing season than the Midwest offers and also prefers cool summer nights over hot humid ones. Trying to push these grapes through a less-than-ideal growing situ-ation produces fruit that lacks

the characteristics for which its species are known.

“The other two classes are native American grapes and what we call French hybrids,” Selvan-Solberg says. “These vines tolerate greater vari-ables in weather conditions and are the result of about 150 years of rootstock exchange. The grapes have excellent and unique fruit characteristics compared to Vinifera.”

Selvan-Solberg’s face lights up as he describes the Vi-gnoles’ citrusy peach- and apricot-influenced flavor and the full-bodied dryness of the Chambourcin.

“I also need to tell you that I was once a serious California wine-drinking snob,” Selvan-Solberg says laughing. A Kan-sas native and Kansas Univer-sity graduate, Selvan-Solberg left the state to eventually build a business in Califor-nia and lived there for many

years. He made occasional visits back to the Lawrence area. On one trip back, he was finally talked into visit-ing Davenport Orchards and Winery, also near Eudora.

“I tried the Norton and looked at the wine on its own merits, and it was really excel-lent.”

A few years later, Selvan-Solberg moved back to the Lawrence area and planted the first of Bluejacket’s grape-vines in 2001. He spent days at Davenport Orchards, learning the ropes to grape-growing and winemaking from Daven-port’s owner Greg Shipe.

After a few years, Selvan-Solberg entered into an in-ternship at Holy-field Vine-yard and Winery near Basehor to work with father-daughter team Les and Michelle Meyer.

In 2008, Selvan-Solberg fi-nally had enough fruit to open the winery where he now of-

fers 20 different wines. He has expanded to nine acres of grapes.

Selvan-Solberg notes that just as there are different fla-vors of merlot, each Seyval and Cynthiana taste a little dif-ferent depending on the wine-maker. Also, some grapes are good for more than one wine — he makes six wines from the Chambourcin grape, vary-ing from a semi-sweet blush to the full-bodied dry red.

If the wine is not enough, you can also feel good about supporting the local economy — local jobs and local people — when you visit local winer-ies.

Last year, Steven Spielberg produced two science fiction fantasies for television, “Ter-ra Nova” and “Falling Skies.” ‘‘Nova,” the more anticipated and expensive of the two, fell by the wayside while the enormously popular “Falling Skies” (8 p.m., TNT) is now entering its second season.

For the uninitiated, “Skies” follows a ragtag army of human survivors mounting a tenacious insurgency against a cruel, tech-nologically superior alien force. There are special-effects depic-tions of spaceships and critters, but the real joy of “Skies” is its inventive, old-school way of us-ing locations to evoke a sense of doom. Toss a few burned-out cars around an abandoned strip mall and you’re half-way to creat-ing an end-of-the-world atmosphere.

N o a h Wyle stars as Tom Mason, a former college history professor turned rebel-patriot. His knowledge of mili-tary and diplomatic history as well as the show’s Boston-area setting connects these freedom fighters to the men of Lexington and Concord.

Like the classic 1950s sci-fi movies that clearly inspired Spielberg, “Falling Skies” can be appreciated on several levels. On the surface, it’s a shoot-em-up thrill ride. But dig deeper and you reach undercurrents of popular dread.

Speaking of thriving on ba-sic cable, “Longmire” (9 p.m., A&E) debuted two weeks ago as the most watched launch of a scripted series on cable this year. And its audience grew in its sec-ond week. This police procedural set in Big Sky Country will nev-er win awards for originality or complexity. And that may be cen-tral to its appeal. At a time when some networks have doubled down on fantasy series (“Game of Thrones,” ‘‘True Blood”) with baffling sets of rules and charac-ter relationships that require a flow chart to follow, “Longmire” celebrates the simple appeal of the taciturn Western hero.

Sunday’s other highlights 2012 U.S. Open Golf Cham-

pionship (3 p.m., NBC). Repeat stories and updates

scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): insider trading in Congress, one university’s suc-cess in math and science, a pro-file of Taylor Swift.

The Miami Heat host the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2012 NBA Finals (7 p.m., ABC).

The case seems closed on the season finale of “The Killing” (8 p.m., AMC).

“Forensic Firsts” (8 p.m., Smithsonian) surveys 50 years in the evolving technology — from ballistics to DNA science — that aids police detectives as they find the bad guys.

Dear Annie: Last year, you printed a column on Father’s Day about what makes a dad. There is a huge difference between what makes a “father” and what makes a “dad.”

A father is someone who believes that by do-nating his sperm for your creation, he has done his duty in life. A dad is someone who gets up every day and does what-ever he can to put a roof over your head, clothes on your back and food on your table. He might have to dig ditches, flip ham-burgers, deliver pizzas, work in a factory — or all of the above. He might not own a suit and tie. He teaches the value of hard work not because he’s looking for help mowing the lawn, but because he knows idleness leads to trouble. He realizes his job is to make his chil-dren productive citizens, and to do that, he can’t al-ways be his child’s friend.

When I graduated from

high school, I realized I had a dad I respected and with whom I could talk about anything. He taught me to remember right from wrong, no mat-ter where I was or what I was doing. He set the bar and let me go out into the world to make my own way. To me, there is no greater man than a dad. — S.

Dear S.: Thank you for providing a wonder-ful Father’s Day testimo-nial. Our best wishes to all the dads who are such excellent role models for their children. Here’s an

essay that appeared in this space several years ago, and we are happy to print it again:

A great man died to-day. He wasn’t a world leader or a famous doc-tor or a war hero or a sports figure. He was no business tycoon, and you would never see his name in the financial pages. But he was one of the greatest men who ever lived. He was my father.

I guess you might say he was a person who was never interested in getting credit or receiv-ing honors. He did corny things like pay his bills on time, go to church on Sunday and serve as an officer in the PTA. He helped his kids with their homework and drove his wife to do the grocery shopping on Thursday nights. He got a great kick out of haul-ing his teenagers and their friends around to and from football games.

Dad enjoyed simple

pastimes like picnics in the park and pitch-ing horseshoes. Opera wasn’t exactly his thing. He liked country music, mowing the grass and running with the dog. He didn’t own a tuxedo, and I’m sure he never tasted smoked salmon or caviar.

Tonight is my first night without him. I don’t know what to do, so I am writing to you. I am sorry now for the times I didn’t show him the proper respect. But I am grateful for a lot of other things. I am thank-ful that God let me have my father for 15 years. And I am happy that I was able to let him know how much I loved him.

That wonderful man died with a smile on his face and fulfillment in his heart. He knew that he was a great success as a husband and a fa-ther, a brother, a son and a friend. I wonder how many millionaires can say that. — His Daughter

A tribute to dads on Father’s Day

‘Falling Skies’back in lineup

For Sunday, June 17:This year you naturally seem to

attract more optimistic people. You also demonstrate an ability to handle whatever you must. If you are single, you could meet someone who might not be all that he or she presents him- or herself to be. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from spending more special time together.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19) Your newfound optimism

and cheer have an impact on many people you come into contact with. Make long-distance calls in the morning. Tonight: Go for the ele-ment of surprise.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Do some intense research

before you donate any funds or make an important purchase. Rest assured that you probably can find a better buy. Tonight: Your treat.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your energy is irresistible

to many people. There is an aura of confusion, as people might not be completing their thoughts. Tonight: The ball is in your court.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Your focus might be dedi-

cated to finishing a project. You enjoy working like this because your mind relaxes and worries less about the apple of your eye seeing your vulner-abilities. Tonight: Make it early.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Emphasize what is good

in a friendship instead of what is neg-ative. By being open, you’ll also see a situation in a different light. Tonight: Express your caring in a meaningful way for the other party.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Do not hesitate to take the lead in an emotional situation. You tend to appear cool, calm and collected, while others seem to dis-semble in front of you. Tonight: In the limelight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep reaching out for

a friend at a distance — he or she does not intend to be evasive. Give this person the benefit of the doubt. Tonight: Let your spirit soar.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep your day as clear

as possible, with the exception of spending quality time with your sweetie. When you express your feelings, this person’s response could be a little off. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to try a

new approach or do something far differently than before. The only person holding you back is yourself. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be well aware

of what is happening around you. You also must develop a better health and/or exercise routine. To-night: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) No one needs to tell

you what to do. You are in the mood to visit with a special friend or two, and you’re full of energy. Tonight: Pretend it is Friday night.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Make today about family

and those in your immediate circle. A neighbor might attempt to nudge his or her way into your schedule. To-night: A spontaneous get-together at your pad.
