Lisa Lucero Tribune Reporter A local teacher was chosen by the National Endowment for the Humanities as a summer scholar. Julie Aikins, an English teach- er at Royster Middle School, attended one of 22 study work- shops from June 27 to July 2 at the University of Missouri-Kan- sas City. Aikins attended the workshop entitled “Crossroads of Conflict: Contested Visions of Freedom and the Missouri- Kansas Border Wars” at UMKC. The 42 teachers who partici- pated in the one-week program visited several historical sites, discussed the books they had to read before the workshop and do research. UMKC’s Diane Mutti- Burke and Mary Ann Wynkoop directed the program. “While we were there, we had to plan a unit or a lesson plan that we had to share with all of the teachers on the last day, and that was really interesting, too, because I got lots of good ideas from other teachers,” Aikins said. Individuals will find it easier learning about historical events by visiting historical sites and watching re-enactments because they can visualize what hap- pened at the time and get a good sense of each historical charac- ter’s personality, she said. The Missouri-Kansas border war dates roughly from 1854 to 1858. Pro-slavery and anti- slavery groups fought a guerilla war along the Kansas-Missouri border during that time over the expansion of slavery into Kan- sas Territory following passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Royster’s seventh grade stu- dents are assigned to read the novel “Jayhawker” by Patricia Beatty, which centers on the border wars. The novel piqued her interest. “When we studied this novel with the kids, you kind of have a basic knowledge of the bor- der wars, and so just years of teaching that time period you learn information,” Aikins said. “What was really interesting to me was hearing what the other teachers learned.” Not every teacher who applies for one of the study workshops can go. There is a selection committee that consists of a project director, one of the project scholars and a veteran teacher. They look at applicants’ professional backgrounds, their interest in the subject of the workshop and how the experi- ence would enhance their teach- ing. Aikins also said individuals must be a sixth grade to 12th grade teacher to be eligible and must submit an application, a one-page, double-spaced essay, a resume´ and a letter of recom- mendation. Each day consisted of lec- tures, planned activities and field trips. Workshop partici- pants explored the John Wornall House, Watkins Woolen Mill, Jesse James Farm, the Nelson- Atkins Museum, the Arabia Steamboat Museum and the Shawnee Indian Mission. “On one of the days we were in Lecompton with some his- torical re-enactors where one of our first Kansas constitutions were signed, so that was inter- esting,” she said.

See Supplies, Page 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — More than 2,000 cattle have died in Kansas from a recent mix of extreme heat, high humidity and little to no wind, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The deaths mainly occurred from Thursday through Sunday at feeding operations among heavier cattle that were ready to be slaughtered, said Ken Powell, a KDHE environmental scien- tist. A single feedlot in south-central Kansas lost 400 head of cattle. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Powell, who has worked at the agency for almost 17 years and makes sure the dead animals are disposed of safely. “Usually, we will have a few hun- dred head in the summer. Two-thousand is a lot higher than normal.” Todd Domer, a spokesman for the Kansas Livestock Association, said the losses from the animals who died and the slowed weight gain among the remaining cattle will be in the “in the millions.” He said it will be impossible to come up with an exact figure because no one collects the information. A Livestock Indemnity Program can compensate producers for livestock lost during extreme heat and other weather events. But Domer said many won’t qualify for the program, and even for those who do, it will cover only a portion of the loss. With more than 2 million head of cattle feeding in Kansas at any given time, the deaths didn’t constitute a huge percentage of the overall herd being fattened for slaughter. Still, the deaths strained the system. That’s because the dead animals can’t go into the food supply for human con- sumption. Instead, rendering companies often will buy dead animals, strip the hides and cook the carcasses to produce Livestock death toll due to heat reaches 2,000 in state See Livestock, Page 10 See More briefs, Page 3 www.cableone.net 620-431-2440 HEALTH FAIR 2010...

Governor to have 1-night cameo in stage comedy TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson will have a
cameo role in a Topeka stage production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” for one night in September.
Topeka Civic Theatre and Academy says Parkinson will par-ticipate in its annual fundraising gala Sept. 10. The performance raises money for the theater and its educational programs.
Artistic Director Shannon Reilly says Parkinson will play Gibbs, a drifter looking for a room at a boarding house. The classic comedy tells the story of two sisters who run the boarding house — and poison their male boarders.
The play opens the theater’s 75th season.Parkinson’s two predecessors in office, Kathleen Sebelius and
Bill Graves, appeared in past productions.
Chief says stun guns not to blame for death LEAVENWORTH (AP) — Leavenworth police are trying to
determine whether a stun gun is to blame for the death of a 46-year-old man.
Edward Stephenson died Sunday evening soon after officers used their Tasers on him three times after he became unruly in a police car.
Police Chief Pat Kitchens says Stephenson ran into the Cyclone Bar yelling that someone was trying to kill him. WDAF reports that officers found Stephenson sitting in the street, yelling and screaming.
Kitchens says Stephenson was placed in the back of a police car and became violent, head-butting the door and trying to kick out the window. He died at a local hospital less than five minutes after being shocked with the stun guns.
The chief says he has no reason to believe the stun guns caused the man’s death.
Wichita City Council says prayers will continue WICHITA (AP) — The Wichita City Council says it will con-
tinue opening meetings with a prayer after taking heat for the tradition Tuesday night.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State chapter president Vickie Stangl told council members they were promot-ing religion by allowing the prayer.
KSNW reports that Stangl requested the invocations include all religions and faiths if they continue. Council members say that’s already happening by having Interfaith Ministries coordinate who will give the prayers.
Council members say they appreciate Stangl’s opinion, but they don’t plan to change how they open their meetings.
Wildlife park reports birth of rare leopardGODDARD (AP) — A nonprofit wildlife park outside Wichita
has a rare new addition.Officials at Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard say their Amur
(ah-MOOR’) leopard gave birth to a female cub on June 29.The Amur leopard is considered one of the world’s most endan-
gered big cats, with only an estimated 30 to 35 remaining in the wild. The leopards are found mainly along the Russia-China bor-der.
KWCH-TV reports the Kansas park’s cub is doing well but had to be moved to the baby animal nursery for protection from the recent hot weather. Visitors can see the cub in the nursery.
Tanganyika Wildlife Park is taking part in an international effort to save the Amur leopard. Assistant director Matt Fouts says the park has also bred endangered snow leopards and clouded leop-ards, among other big

CASSODAY (AP) — A monthly motorcycle rally has grown from 15 bikers to more than 5,000, causing growing pains for the tiny Butler County ranching community of Cas-soday.
Some of the town’s 120 resi-dents have complained about bikers causing too much noise and congestion when they con-verge on the first Sunday of the month. That led to a City Coun-cil meeting last week in which more than 100 people — both bikers and locals — aired their concerns.
The next motorcycle rally is set for Aug. 1, but the Casso-day City Council has scheduled another meeting for Aug. 9 to discuss some of the unresolved issues.
“We had all this hubbub,” said City Council member Joy Nelson. “... It just got way out of hand.
“We are trying to get every-thing back on an even keel. That’s our plan.”
Nestled in the heart of the Flint Hills, Cassoday has for decades been the self-proclaimed Prairie Chicken Capital of the World.
In the 1960s, on the open-ing weekend of prairie chicken season, the town’s population would traditionally soar with the influx of 3,000 hunters.
By the 1980s, the numbers of prairie chickens — and hunt-ers — had waned. Residents began to look for ways to bring commerce back on a consistent
basis.In 1991, Norma Arsenault,
the owner of the Cassoday Cafe, began opening the restaurant on the first Sunday of each month for bikers to have breakfast.
The first time she did it, 15 showed up. The second time, there were 24.
Pretty soon, word began spreading in the biker commu-nity that Cassoday was a hap-pening place. People came from surrounding states to attend.
In recent years, it has not been uncommon for 5,000 to 7,000 bikers to show up.
Debbie Ciucyk of Bel Aire said she goes on about four Cas-soday rides a year with her hus-band. She said the gathering is a good place to share stories with other motorcycle enthusiasts.
“We go because it’s a beauti-ful ride up there,” she said. “We see people that we may not see but up there.”
It’s like a mini-Sturgis, said Randy Wells, treasurer of the Cassoday Business Organiza-tion, who operates a vending tent on Sundays selling T-shirts, caps, pens and patches to the bikers.
As in Sturgis, S.D., bikers park and line their bikes down the middle of the town’s streets, while vendors line the sides streets, selling items such as breakfast burritos and funnel cakes and leather goods and patches.
Town grapples with booming biker rally
See Biker rally, Page 3
GREAT BEND (AP) — Known as a “Cartist”, or a car artist, Great Bend resident Rex Rosenberg takes great pleasure in a unique creative outlet — decorating funky vehicles.
Rosenberg’s interest in art cars began in 1997 when he began reading about online trips in an art car. This interest expanded,and in 1998, Rosen-berg purchased a VW bug.
“It sat for three years,” said Rosenberg. He then found a guy who built the frame, chang-ing the vehicle into a three-wheeled, one-passenger purple “Bug Wing.”
Although he was a motorcycle rider and a founding member of the Christian motorcycle club, it didn’t occur to Rosenberg to take the bug to an art car show. Spotting talent, a friend sug-gested he take the vehicle to an event after seeing the Bug Wing in a parade at Lucas.
The rest, as they say is his-tory, and Rosenberg delved deeply into becoming a cartist and enjoying the lighter side of life after years of working as a psychologist in Great Bend and at Larned State Hospital in Larned. When his sister’s Subaru was totaled in a hail-storm, and Rosenberg jumped at the chance to decorate a car of his own.
After thinking for a year, and while on a trip across Nebras-
ka, dentures popped into his head. Refusing to analyze why an individual would want to glue teeth and dentures to a car, he began looking for ways to collect them but had difficulty finding a source. While brows-ing on ebay one day, he found a 75 lb. box of partials for $285.
“It worked out perfectly for me,” he said. After bleaching the teeth and using rubber gloves, Rosenberg began attaching the items to the Subaru. He named it the “Chewbaru.”
With a vision, but no grand design for decorating the vehi-cle, Rosenberg still keeps a tube of glue called Goop Marine Glue in the vehicle in case an interesting item makes an appearance. “More is better,” he said. People give him dental implements and one kid with a loose tooth made a donation.
He refers to the car as “abject art,” which is art that is outside of the normal order of things and provokes a reaction.
And capture the attention of others, it does.
“People really love it or think it is disgusting,” said Rosen-berg.
“It’s a nice diversion and a lot of fun,” said Rosenberg. He has no definite ideas for another car, but his unique ideas have paid off in other ways. The car shows aren’t judged, but herg has won trophies and cash prizes.

Gas firm seeksto condemn 9,117acres of land
WICHITA (AP) — A Nebras-ka company is moving to con-demn more than 9,100 acres of land in south-central Kansas as it scrambles to contain natural gas migrating from an under-ground storage facility
Omaha-based Northern Natu-ral Gas filed suit Monday in U.S. District Court in Wichita. The filing is the first step under the power of eminent domain to take property from unwilling sellers in Pratt, Kingman and Reno counties.
The land acquisition would expand the Cunningham Stor-age Field.
Company spokesman Mike Loeffler says the goal is to stop drilling by third-party natural gas producers. Loeffler says those companies were siphon-ing off their stored gas sup-plies by changing the geological pressure.

There’s a difference in Cas-soday’s rally, Wells said.
“There’s no nudity, no alco-hol and no trouble,” he said. “Ninety-nine percent of the bik-ers who come to Cassoday are fantastic, regular, ol’ everyday people who work and play. This is a family-oriented event.”
But that many people con-centrated in one spot can cause problems.
At the City Council meeting, resident Brett Nelson presented a petition against the rally, tell-ing council members he had signatures from 45 percent of the registered voters in town, who were concerned the bikes were a nuisance and invasion of privacy.
A person answering the phone at the Nelson residence Mon-day said he was not interested in talking about the subject.
City Council member Joy Nelson said she thinks com-plaints arose over concerns bikers had blocked private driveways, caused too much noise and had been caught, on occasion, urinating in people’s yards.
So, Joy Nelson said, city offi-cials are working to put in more restrooms.
In addition, Wells said, signs will be posted asking bikers not to park in some areas of town and not to rev their engines inside the city limits.
“I hope it is settling down,” Nelson said. “We don’t need this kind of publicity.”
Joy Nelson said city lead-ers are also considering having bikers purchase buttons — such as those patrons are required to wear to attend the Wichita River Festival — to help finance additional projects the city may have. The buttons would be good for a year’s events.
Ciucyk, the rider from Bel Aire, said she thinks people would be willing to buy the but-tons if they were for the whole year. Ciucyk said she and her husband try to buy something from the vendors each time they visit Cassoday.
“We try to support the people that are there because they’ve taken their time to be there for us,” she said.
City Council member Nelson said the town benefits from the rally. Local school groups, like the baseball team and cheer-leaders, have used the venue to earn money for new uniforms.
Bikers have volunteered and erected flag poles to honor local veterans. One bikers’ group even volunteers each month to pick up trash after the rally.
And proceeds from vendors have gone to purchase more picnic tables and portable toi-lets.
That’s not to say there haven’t
been problems.Butler County Sheriff Craig
Murphy said Cassoday city leaders came to his office about two years ago asking for help in providing security at the event. Since then, Murphy said, he sends five to 10 officers for the rides.
The sheriff’s department hasn’t had trouble with motor-cyclists in town, he said. But on the highway, speeding has been a problem.
“Because of the sheer volume of the motorcycles that go up there on the first Sunday of each month, it makes working the traffic rather difficult,” Murphy said. “It’s almost impossible to enforce.”
Murphy said the department has worked accidents and a few deaths from the monthly event over the years.
Jack Argo of Hutchinson said he started going to the rallies in 1998, but stopped about a year ago.
“It was just so congested. I just thought it was a little dangerous,” Argo said. “People were flying down the road ... like there’s no tomorrow.
“I think it (the rally) is all right, but I think it’s got a bit out of hand for them.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Environmental Pro-tection Agency said the draft environmental impact study for TransCanada Corp.’s proposed oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico is inadequate and should be revised.
Keystone XL would move oil from Alberta, Canada, down through Montana, South Dako-ta, Nebraska in the upper Great Plains. It would then merge with a pipeline under construc-tion in Kansas before breaking off again to pass through Okla-homa, to Texas and to the Gulf of Mexico.
Environmental groups have raised concerns that the pipe-line could pollute air and water supplies and harm migratory birds and other wildlife. They have also speculated about what they consider inadequate pipe-line safety and emergency spill response.
In a letter to the State Depart-ment, EPA’s assistant admin-istrator for enforcement and compliance assurance, Cynthia Giles, said the draft environ-mental impact statement failed to adequately address those concerns.
The impact from “air emis-sions from refineries and the potential contamination of drinking water supplies from an oil spill have not been fully evaluated,” Giles said in the let-ter dated July 16.
She also said the study also does not evaluate “evalu-ate the environmental justice issues associated with potential impacts to communities in Port Arthur, Texas, where numerous industrial facilities, including chemical plants and a hazardous waste incinerator, are contrib-uting to the residents’ overall exposure to contaminants.”
The agency said the State Department should revise the study and open it up for more public comment.
TransCanada spokesman Terry Cunha said the compa-ny disagrees and that the State Department “did a thorough and complete job in preparing the Draft EIS.”
He said TransCanada looked “forward to the environmen-tal review process continuing through DOS’s review of com-ments and preparation of the Final EIS.”
The EPA sent its report to the State Department, which has to approve the pipeline because it crosses an international border.
The department was review-ing comments from eight agen-cies on the draft environmen-tal report. The public comment period on the current draft doc-ument ended July 2.
“The State Department seri-ously considers all public com-ments received as part of the public comment process. How-ever, we will not have a detailed response until we complete the review process,” State Depart-ment spokeswoman Jill W.
Dietrich said in an e-mail.Keystone XL would move
oil from Alberta, Canada, down through Montana, South Dako-ta, Nebraska in the upper Great Plains, and then from Okla-homa to Texas and into the Gulf of Mexico. Under its planned route, the pipeline would cross several rivers and aquifers, including the Ogallala aquifer which supplies water to several Midwestern states.
TransCanada has said the pipeline would provide a reli-able source of oil to the U.S. from a stable trading partner and would not adversely affect the environment.
Cunha has said construction of Keystone XL should provide more than $20 billion in new spending to the U.S. economy and more than $585 million in state and local taxes in states along the pipeline route.
Susan Casey-Lefkowitz, direc-tor of international programs for the National Resources Defense Council, said the environmen-tal advocacy group was “happy to see how seriously EPA was taking the environmental and public health concerns around the pipeline,” and said other pipelines have not undergone such scrutiny.
Keystone has already won approval for pipelines that move oil from Canada through the Dakotas, Nebraska and Mis-souri to Illinois, as well as the section being built in Kansas.
“But of course ... the first Keystone was under the Bush administration, and the goal of the Bush administration was to push it through as quickly as possible,” she said.
She said NRDC has asked the State Department to release cor-respondence from other federal agencies that have responded to the Keystone XL proposal but had not seen any of those.

A dog, biting my fin-ger, was swinging three feet from the floor.
My daughter’s Pomeranian dog looks like a big fur-ball. He is a friendly, tail-wag-ging lap dog. Petey and I have always had fun together. Until last week.
I was putting on his leash when sudden-ly he yelped. I had pinched the poor dog. So he bit my finger. As I raised my finger, Petey hung on until he was dangling three feet in the air. He was not about to let my go of my finger.
After what must have been 60 minutes, he let go.
Petey and I are on good terms once again. Our compromise: I don’t touch his collar and he doesn’t bite me.
Petey reminded me of a lesson about people. A lesson I keep forgetting. Hurt-ing people hurt people.
When infuriating people single you out, remember: nine times out of ten, it is not about you. Their behavior has more to do with the past than what is happening in the moment. Avoid taking the irritants personally.
What can you do when confronted by an angry hurt person?
Change yourself. You can’t change anyone else’s behavior, attitudes, or perception. But you can change the way you relate to people. When I remember that hurt
people hurt people, it allows me to be more patient, and sends me on a mission to discover the real problem.
You may need to change your behavior. When you change, it will inevitably alter your relationship. Don’t continue to do what doesn’t work.
Hurting people not only hurt others, but they are also easily hurt. They are often unwilling to change, less willing to talk about real issues, and less willing to do something about the problem.
Don’t be surprised when someone who hurts you is easily offended.
Retaliating simply escalates the prob-lem.
Set boundaries. Be clear on what you will tolerate. Intentionally plan your lim-its. For example, you may choose for fel-low workers not to swear at you. Perhaps you will choose not to discuss a disagree

Keep On LearningThere is something inherently pleasant in learning new things. Even if we aren’t likely to ever use that piece of trivia, it’s still interesting. Indeed, our brains seem to be designed to learn new things. With a hundred billion brain cells, and about fifteen thousand connections (or synapses) per brain cell, we have, on average, about 1.5 quadrillion connections in our brain. In infants, there is a rapid increase in synapses until roughly the age of four, when children actually have more connections than adults. This is no doubt why children are such fast learners. The bad news is that the unused connections in our brains get pruned away after age 20, reaching the adult numbers around the age of 16. The good news is that even well into our eighties and nineties we can continue to learn and make new connections. We’re not going to learn a second language as fast as a 3-year old, but we can still learn. Michelangelo is said to have remarked when he was 87 that he was still learning. There’s no reason to ever stop learning, and a hundred billion reasons to keep learning, to keep those neurons firing.
By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

Bautista leads Blue Jays’ 13-1 romp over RoyalsKANSAS CITY, Mo (AP)
— Jose Bautista has come a long way since 2004 when he played for four clubs, including the Kansas City Royals for 13 games, as a 23-year-old rookie.
Bautista hit his major league-leading 26th home run and drove in five runs to back Jesse Litsch, who picked up his first vic-tory since 2008, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Royals 13-1 on Tuesday night.
“It (2004) was definitely a weird year for me because I wasn’t getting a lot of playing time and the previous year I was in A-Ball,” Bautista said. “I was in no-man’s land mentally. It’s been awhile and obviously I’m a better ball player now than I was then. I’m just glad I’m hav-ing a good year.”
Bautista, who played for the Royals in 2004, homered in the first inning with Fred Lewis aboard. Bautista has homered in six of his last 13 games. His single in the second scored John Buck, who had three doubles.
“The tools were always there,” said Buck, who was a teammate of Bautista’s with the Royals. “I think every team he’s been with has always said that. It was just that who was going to be the team that lets him develop and become who he is now. Luckily, for the Blue Jays, the Blue Jays are the one.”
Bautista finished last season strong with 10 home runs after Sept. 1.
“He keeps going,” Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. “I hope he gets 40. I’m very happy for him. He’s hit 36 home runs in little over a half of year. He has that kind of power.”
Bautista’s double in a five-run eighth gave him five RBIs to match his career high. It was the fourth time he’s done that, three this season.
Litsch (1-4) was 0-5 with a 7.08 ERA in eight starts since beating Baltimore on Sept. 18,
2008. He made only two starts last season before season-end-ing elbow surgery.
“It’s been a long time,” Litsch said. “It’s definitely a good thing to get that one off the shoulders and something to build on.”
Most of the game was played in the rain, but it wasn’t heavy enough to stop the game.
“We put up six runs early and I was just trying to get through five innings,” Litsch said. “They said the rain was coming. You want to get through five for sure so it’s an official game. I didn’t have time to think. I pretty much threw what he (Buck) put down and just worked with it.”
Litsch allowed one run and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings with
no walks or strikeouts. He improved to 3-1 in four career starts against the Royals.
The Blue Jays have won four of their past five games, while the Royals have lost seven of eight.
Adam Lind singled and scored in the third inning and hit a two-run homer in the eighth to extend his hitting streak to 13 games, matching his career high. Encarnacion had three doubles and three RBIs as the Blue Jays collected a season-high eight doubles. That ties a Royals record for most doubles allowed in a game.
Royals starter Anthony Lerew left with bruised ribs and a right biceps contusion after
being struck by a line drive by Encarnacion in the second. Lerew threw out Encarnacion, but walked off the field without attempting a warm up pitch.
“Nothing is broken. It looks a lot worse than it is, especially the bicep,” Lerew said. “The ribs hurt more than the bicep even though the bicep looks worse.
“I’ve never come out of a game from being hurt before. I knew it was going to hurt. It still hurts. I thought the ball may still be lodged in my ribs.”
Lerew (1-4) has allowed 18 runs and 18 hits, including six home runs, and five walks in nine innings in losing his past three starts. Lerew retired just
four of the nine batters he faced Tuesday, allowing four runs and three hits with two walks.
“He’s had his struggles,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He’s got to find ways to get through it.”
The Royals avoided a shutout when Alberto Callaspo’s two-out single in the sixth scored David DeJesus.
Notes: 1B Billy Butler grounded into major league-leading 22nd double play in the fourth. The Royals’ record is 26 by C John Wathan in 1982. ... Royals manager Ned Yost said C Brayan Pena would start Wednesday. Jason Kendall has been the starting catcher in all but five of the 93 games.

US judge in Conn.: Cheerleading not a sport
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A federal judge in Con-necticut has ruled competi-tive cheerleading is not an official sport that schools can use to meet gender-equity requirements.
U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill says competitive cheerleading is too under-developed.
Wednesday’s ruling comes in a lawsuit filed by members of the volleyball team at Quinnipiac Univer-sity in Hamden, Conn. The players sued after the school announced last year that it would eliminate the team for budgetary reasons.
The school replaced it with a competitive cheer squad to stay in compliance with the 1972 federal law that mandates equal oppor-tunities for men and women in athletics.
Quinnipiac has 60 days to come up with a plan to keep the volleyball team and comply with gender rules.
Nebraska, Oklahoma picked first in Big 12 poll
DALLAS (AP) — Nebras-ka has been picked to leave the Big 12 in style.
The Cornhuskers, who are bolting for the Big Ten in 2011, are the unanimous choice to repeat as Big 12 North football champions in the league’s preseason media poll.
Oklahoma was picked to win the South division in the poll released by the league on Wednesday.
Nebraska, which lost a heartbreaker to Texas in last year’s Big 12 title game, received all 26 first-place votes from media members who cover the league. The Sooners got 16 first-place votes in the South, while the Longhorns received the other 10 votes.
Missouri was picked sec-ond in the North, followed by Kansas State, Kansas, Colorado and Iowa State. Texas A&M was picked to finish third in the South. Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Baylor round out the South field.
Media picks Nebraska to win Big 12 North
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Media members cover-ing the Big 12 have unani-mously picked Nebraska to repeat as the North Division football champion.
The Cornhuskers received all 26 first-place votes and totaled 156 points. Missouri placed second, followed by Kansas State, Kansas, Col-orado and Iowa State.
Oklahoma has been selected first in the South. The Sooners received 16 first-place votes to finish with 146 points.
Tiger’s endorsements down $22 million
NEW YORK (AP) — Tiger Woods’ estimated endorse-ments for 2010 are worth $22 million less than last year, according to Sports Illustrated’s annual analy-sis of the highest-earning American athletes.
Woods is still No. 1 on the list, as he has been for the rankings’ seven years. But his estimated total earn-ings of more than $90 mil-lion are down 30 percent from nearly $128 million two years ago.
Phil Mickelson is again No. 2 with total earnings of more than $61 million.
Floyd Mayweather Jr., LeBron James, Alex Rodri-guez, Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning and Dwy-ane Wade round out the top 10.

MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Carl Edwards is unapologetic. He sees no reason why he shouldn’t compete for the NASCAR Sprint Cup and the sport’s sec-ond-tier title at the same time.
NASCAR has considered changes to the Nationwide Series that could affect the par-ticipation of Cup drivers, who routinely dip down to take vic-tories against smaller teams and less-experienced drivers.
Penske driver Justin Allgaier is the only Nationwide regu-lar to win a race in the series this season, at Bristol in March. Every other event has been won by a Cup regular.
Edwards is 10th in the Sprint Cup standings and second in the Nationwide points behind Brad Keselowski, the driver he tangled with in the final lap of last week’s Dodge Dealers 250 before winning.
Edwards said he began run-ning Nationwide races when he was driving in the truck series, and now considers himself a Nationwide driver going for
sponsorship deals in the Cup series.
“I hope NASCAR recognizes that all of us are racers, and no matter where you come from this is its own series,” Edwards said.
Edwards agrees with a sug-gestion that Cup drivers’ prac-tice time be limited on tracks used by both series. He said around a half-hour would be fair.
“Hopefully I can still race for a championship,” he said, “because that’s what I want to do next year.”
Edwards has plenty of com-
pany.Sprint Cup leader Kevin Har-
vick ran in both ends of a dou-bleheader last weekend after the truck race was postponed by a power failure. He easily won the 250-mile truck race, leading for all but 17 of the 160 laps, and was in contention in the Nationwide race before scrap-ing the wall late.
“He had a little bit more time, money and experience in this series. All of the above,” said Keselowski, who came up in the Nationwide ranks and is in his first year of a full-time Sprint Cup ride.
Edwards: No apologies for cherry picking

Chiefs giving big boost to Div. II schoolDOUG TUCKERAP Sports Writer
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — While perhaps exaggerat-ing a bit, Dr. Brenda Bless-ing reflected the feelings of all her excited colleagues when the Kansas City Chiefs unveiled their gleaming new train-ing camp facilities at Mis-souri Western University on Wednesday.
“It’s as good as Ohio State’s,” said Blessing, chairman of the school’s health, physical education and recre-ation department.
Several hundred city officials and university employees were on hand for the official dedica-tion of the $14 million project, something the Chiefs hope will help them reconnect with fans and the school believes will pro-vide an overpowering recruiting advantage in Division II.
The Chiefs trained the past 20 years at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, mainly to escape the sweltering heat and humidity of the Midwest. But state granted a $25 million tax credit in June 2009 to help entice them back to Missouri, and the Chiefs will open their St. Joseph camp on July 30.
Moving back to Missouri was also the implicit promise the Chiefs made if voters in Jack-son County, Mo., approved a sales tax increase to fund more than $500 million in improve-ments to Arrowhead Stadium and the Royals’ Kauffman Sta-dium. The tax was approved,
and the new Arrow-head will have its official opening on Monday night, Sept. 13, against AFC West rival San
Diego.The Chiefs hope that returning
to Missouri will enable them to bolster interest and attendance that waned in recent years. St. Joseph is only about 75 minutes from Arrowhead Stadium.
“I would hope we would see crowds during the week in the 5,000-plus neighborhood, and hopefully for our two night practices and our family fun day we should have crowds substantially larger than that,” Chiefs president Denny Thum said. The new facilities were built in less than a year. In case of storms, or if heat and humid-ity prove overpowering, the Chiefs have a 120-yard climate-controlled field to work in. That
will be one big improvement to River Falls. But if the Chiefs are merely excited about being in St. Joseph, Missouri Western is downright ecstatic.
The Griffons have frequently taken a back seat to Northwest Missouri and Pittsburg State in the 10-team Mid-America Inter-collegiate Athletics Association. NFL-quality fields and training facilities should be enough to turn any recruit’s head.
“It’s going to be hard to say no to all this,” assistant ath-letic director Brett Esely said. “I pinch myself every day. As somebody that’s a lifelong resi-dent of St. Joseph, been around 12 years on a working capacity, it’s hard to believe I’m stand-ing here on our campus right now. It’s a showplace. It’s awe-some.”
Football coach Jerry Partridge his school’s facilities had been no better than eighth-best in the Division II league. He also said MIAA rivals were telling recruits the Chiefs would never construct training facilities at Missouri Western.
“They would say, ‘No, no, it’s not going to happen.’ And I would have done the same thing,” he said.
Woods drops into tie with Kobe as favorite star NEW YORK (AP) — Tiger Woods has
dropped into a tie with Kobe Bryant as the favorite American sports star.
Woods had held the position alone since 2006, but the Los Angeles Lakers guard moved up from fourth last year to grab a share of the top spot, Harris Interactive said Tuesday.
LeBron James dropped from third to sixth in the company’s survey of 2,227 adults conducted online from June 14-21, before he left Cleve-land to sign with Miami.
Retired NBA star Michael Jordan fell from second to seventh.
Yankees captain Derek Jeter moved up one spot to third and quarterback Brett Favre went from ninth to fourth.
Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning was fifth, up from seventh.
New England quarterback Tom Brady, who failed to make the top 10 last year, returned at No. 8, followed by New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees and NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Jr.
NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon and St. Louis Cardi-nals first baseman Albert Pujols dropped out of the top 10.
Among female athletes, sisters Serena and Venus Williams were 1-2, followed by race car driver Danica Patrick, retired soccer star Mia Hamm and tennis stars Maria Sharapova and Anna Kournikova.
Volleyball player Misty May-Treanor was tied for seventh with gymnast Shawn Johnson, basketball player Lisa Leslie was ninth, and retired tennis players Billie Jean King and Mar-tina Navratilova were tied for 10th.
Dropping out of the top 10 were basketball’s Candace Parker, golfer Annika Sorenstam, for-mer tennis star Chris Evert and skater Michelle Kwan.
Lerew expected to miss next start KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Anthony
Lerew is not expected to make his next start for the Kansas City Royals after getting injured in Tuesday’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.
Lerew bruised his right ribs and right biceps after being struck by an Edwin Encarnacion line drive in the second inning of the 13-1 defeat.
“To be quite honest with you, I don’t see it happening,” Royals manager Ned Yost said Wednesday of Lerew making his scheduled start at Yankee Stadium on Sunday.
“He’s pretty sore. We’ll just have to wait and see.”
Yost said outfielder Rick Ankiel would likely be recalled from his minor league injury rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha and join the club Thursday for the first game of the series at New York.
“My thinking right now is Ankiel is due to come back here very soon,” Yost said. “If we have to DL (Lerew), then we’ll put Ankiel in his spot and then on Sunday we’ll have to make a decision and make a roster move to bring up another pitcher.”
Ankiel hit .210 in 19 games before going on the disabled list May 3 with a pulled right quadriceps.
Lerew is 1-4 with an 8.54 ERA and allowed nine home runs in 26 1-3 innings in six starts after a June 16 promotion from Omaha.

Dear Amy: My wife and I had a baby a week ago. This is the best time of my life, but my mother-in-law is interfering so much I don’t know what to do.
When my wife was pregnant, her mother insisted on attending doctor’s visits and parenting classes with us.
When our son was born, the hospital allowed both of us to be in the room while my wife was having a C-section.
Once we brought the baby home, my mother-in-law took a week off from work and talked my wife into making me sleep on the couch while she slept in the bed with my wife and son.
I frequently left the room to give my wife and her mom privacy, and then when I would return they would both be upset and blame me for things I didn’t do.
She instigates fights and arguments between us, and my wife always takes her side.
I am thrilled to be a new dad, and I am doing my best to be there for my wife and baby. I can’t seem to be a father while my mother-in-law is present in this way. I am worried.
What can I do? -- Worried Dad
Dear Dad: You should have started establishing firm boundaries during your wife’s pregnancy. As it is, you have found yourself in the middle of an episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond.”
Stop being intimidated by your mother-in-law’s presence and respectfully assert your responsibilities as a parent.
Your mother-in-law should
not replace you at home. Your wife is married to you and now you two have a family. To establish a good and solid start for your son, your family should be the primary relationship for all of you.
Bringing a baby home is very stressful. Your wife might be depressed or overwhelmed. Calmly talk about what she wants and needs from her mother during your child’s infancy. Decide together.
It sounds as if your wife consistently welcomes her mother’s interference. This puts your mother-in-law in the middle of your marriage. If you two can’t work things out together, you should seek the help of a counselor.
Dear Amy: My closest friend from college is spending her summer studying abroad, and we keep in touch through e-mail and video chat.
I love being able to talk to her and hear about her experiences. However, she gets homesick frequently and complains to me about how much she misses school and our friends.
While I try to make her feel better, her homesickness frustrates me.
I spend my summers working and living at home because I need to earn money and I can’t afford to study abroad, even though I would love to. She knows all this and yet she still complains.
I want her to feel like she can talk to me, but I have a hard time sympathizing with her. Should I tell her? -- Frustrated Friend
Dear Frustrated: You could help your friend (and also ease your frustration) by asking her to give you a verbal “postcard,” describing what she’s seeing that’s new, different or unusual. What are the “natives” like? Has she visited historical sites or museums?
Someday she will realize that her homesickness has hampered her ability to take advantage of her foreign experience. Unfortunately, by the time she does, it will be too late to do anything about it.
Ironically, her ability to get in touch so frequently could make her homesickness worse. You might want to take (and make) these calls less frequently, but please be patient with her.
Dear Amy: This is for “Ugly But Still Human.”
I speak from experience: Intelligent people can, and do, mature beyond “hotness” being the primary factor in deciding whom to date.
I pursued super good-looking men in my younger years, only to realize that, darn, looks ain’t worth nothin’ if there’s no laughter, no good conversation, to go with ‘em. And in fact, more often than not, a guy’s “hotness” and his “goodness” were inversely proportionate. -- Been There
Dear Been There: Many of us have “been there” and have the T-shirt (and good-looking exes) to prove it.

New dad’s sitcom circumstance not so funny
Dear Heloise: What is the difference between fabric softeners and water softeners? — A Reader, via e-mail
Good question, one we took to our friends at the American Cleaning Institute, and this is what they had to say:
Fabric softeners do just what their name implies — they soften washable fabrics. They can make items softer and smoother, and decrease static cling and wrinkling. Always follow the bottle’s label as to how much to use per load.
Water softeners soften water. They can help detergents work better. Again, follow package directions.
Hope this answers your question. If you have any other questions, send them along for Heloise Central to research. — Heloise
Dear Heloise: Clothing with beads and embroidery can be hard to press. So, turn a garment inside out and fold a terry-cloth towel under it. That way, the beads and threads can sink into the towel and make for a smooth finish without puckering on the front.
I really enjoy your newspaper column and books, and once I was fortunate enough to meet you when you were in Canton, Ohio. You questioned my name when you signed my book. Yes, it’s on my birth certificate, and there’s a cute story behind my name. — Venetia, North Canton, Ohio
Dear Heloise: Instead of spending a lot of money on plastic containers for gift-wrapping paper, a 5-gallon paint bucket that has been thoroughly cleaned will hold several rolls. Also, you can buy tool aprons for these buckets at many hardware stores. These aprons wrap around the bucket and are held in place with snaps. The various pouches on the apron can hold scissors, tape, ribbon, gift tags and various other supplies needed. Plus, the bucket has a handle for toting around. — Carolyn in Texas
Dear Heloise: After reading about numbering packing boxes, I wanted to let you know that it works really well. I even noted which books I had in my boxes so I could fill my bookshelves with my books in alphabetical order by author. Makes it so easy to keep up with my books and find specific ones. — Kate in Texas
Dear Heloise: After buying shortcake for many years for dessert, I wonder why bakeries don’t make a similar cradle for hot dogs. If they would hollow out the top and the bottom of the hot-dog bun, it would then receive the hot dog and we could pile on the mustard, onions, relish, etc., and it would not fall apart. — Nancy in Fort Worth, Texas
Dear Heloise: When visiting relatives in a nursing home, take family photo albums, with pictures of family reunions, vacations, weddings and graduations. They help create some bright moments. — A Reader in San Angelo, Texas

LOS ANGELES (AP) — George Clooney will be recog-nized for his humanitarian efforts at the Emmy Awards.
The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences will pres-ent the 49-year-old actor with its Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the ceremony next month.
Clooney is being honored for the “Hope for Haiti” TV special, which is nominated for an Emmy award, and his efforts to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Katrina and raise awareness about genocide in Darfur.
John Shaffner, chairman and chief executive of the TV academy, said Clooney was “an obvious choice” for the award because he used the power of television to move people to act.
The Bob Hope Humanitarian Award was established in 2002. Clooney is the fourth recipient of the honor and will receive the award at the Emmy ceremony on Aug. 29.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pennsylvania’s labor depart-ment is defending its decision to issue work permits to Kate Gosselin’s sextuplets for the reality show “Kate Plus 8.”
A statement from the Department of Labor & Industry says the children are not being “unlawfully exploited” by the filming at their home in Wernersville.
State Rep. Thomas Murt questioned the permits last week, saying Pennsylvania law allows children under 7 to work in movies, but not TV. Gosselin’s sextuplets are 6.
Labor officials said Tuesday that the permits protect the children from working too many hours and ensure they receive earnings from the TLC show.
Murt maintains the permits are illegal. He says the labor department must seek a ruling from the attorney general.

Title III grant to increase endowmentNeosho County Community College Foundation received a Title
III grant from the Federal government to increase the endowment fund of the Foundation. The Foundation supports the mission of the college and provides scholarships for NCCC students.
The Title III grant allows the NCCC Foundation to double the funds it raises and place them in an endowment for future use. For each dollar, up to $32,000 this year, the government will match with a dollar; for this year the total amount that would be added to the endowment is $64,000.
This is an easy way for gifts given to the Foundation to be doubled in value. A gift of $100 towards the Title III funds will be doubled to $200. All funds will be placed in an investment account that will earn interest. The interest from the account cannot be accessed for five years, after the five-year waiting period the inter-est may be used in the Allied Health field to fund scholarships, or provided necessary equipment for the students. After 20 years the principle may also be accessed. Please consider giving to the Title III project. Allied Health professionals are in short supply and the need for professionals in this area will continue to be in demand.
For further information or to make a donation, contact Claudia Christiansen at Neosho County Community College Foundation, 431-2820 ext. 243.

ment when the other person begins yelling. Or for the talk-ative interrupter, you may set aside a certain amount of time you will spend in conversation.
Others will not know your new boundaries and you need to explain them at the appro-priate time. Look for good in every encounter. Negatives have a positive side. Be cre-ative and discover what can be learned from the encounter.
Remain calm. In the face of negative energy it becomes easy to respond harshly.
Being pleasant is stronger than being unpleasant. Affirma-tion wins over condemnation. Constructive comments win over destructive words.

but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21
Copy your nemesis’ good points. Everyone has some pos-itive qualities. Instead of focus-ing on the disagreeable, find qualities you could incorporate into your life. Is your foe persistent? Learn persistence. Are they disciplined? Copy discipline in your life. Are they easy going? Learn to be more spontaneous. Focusing on the good points will help shift your perceptions.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18

products like blood meal, which is used as a fertilizer.
Because so many animals died in such a short span, the renderers couldn’t handle all the carcasses. Powell said 800 to 900 of the dead cattle had to be buried, and another 120 to 130 will be composted. During the height of the muggy, hot weather, feedlot operators were kept busy, giving them more water and making beds on the ground out of hay.
“Typically, we don’t see that
many days when those three conditions come into play,” Domer said of heat, humidity and lack of wind.
