Survivors of Boardwalk fire fall victim to second blaze

STATE PENSIONS

Governor predicts 401(k) style plan

With 2005 tragedy fresh in memory, couple displaced again

By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Five and a half years ago, Sandara K. Meyer left her home in her nightgown and slippers in the middle of the night. Her husband broke his shoulder in three places from a fall while leaving the apartment.

Early Wednesday morning, Meyer was forced to leave her new home for the same reason: a fire.

Meyer and her husband, Ron, are survivors of the 2005 Boardwalk Apartments fire, but their apartment and belongings were destroyed in the tragedy. Wednesday morning, the couple had to leave their duplex near West Second Terrace and Michigan Street after the other unit caught fire from a burning mattress outside. Meyer’s unit was damaged from the smoke — two days before her 69th birthday.

It’s Meyer’s second displacement from a fire in six years, and now she’s stuck living in a hotel room with her husband, two poodles and cat until her home is deemed safe for her return. Meyer has only 11 percent use of her lungs, and any remnant of the smoke can bother or injure her. But Wednesday morning around 3 a.m., she had to leave as fast as possible after the police knocked on the door.

“They just said, ‘Get out,’” she said.

Meyer is no stranger to tragedy. She clinically died twice and was revived while in the hospital a few years ago from some lung problems, she said. She can’t walk, so her husband must stay home to care for her. Her son recently died from a heart attack at 39. She still has nightmares from the Boardwalk fire, and can have panic attacks when she smells smoke or even sees fire on TV.

SANDARA K. MEYER, OF LAWRENCE, and her husband and pets are living in a hotel after their duplex caught fire Wednesday. Meyer, a survivor of the 2005 Boardwalk Apartments fire, has only 11 percent use of her lungs.

She says she hasn’t dealt with the fire from Wednesday yet, but she wasn’t doing well the night it happened. The firefighters who responded to her duplex included some who responded to Boardwalk years ago, and they recognized her.

“The fireman said, ‘I don’t remember you but I remember your two poodles,’” Meyer said.

Meyer can’t return to

her duplex until all the smoke and chemicals have cleared, and she’s not sure if her belongings are damaged.

Renter’s insurance will cover some of the costs, but hotel rooms in Lawrence are scarce because people are in town for the Kansas Relays. The couple will have to board the animals and head to Kansas City for a hotel room until the duplex is ready. And the

birthday plans she had with some of her nine children have to be changed.

But despite her misfortunes, Meyer is happy for what she has, especially the help of the firefighters and Red Cross, and keeps a good attitude.

“I’m a Christian and I’m saved and I know where I’m going,” she said.

T O P E K A — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback predicted Thursday that his state will move toward a 401(k)-style pension plan for new teachers and government workers and said it’s necessary in dealing with long-term funding problems facing their pension system.

The Republican governor favors such a move, and he said during an interview with Brownback The Associated Press that he expects legislators to either set up a study commission that will recommend the change or pass a bill this year that creates a 401(k)-style plan for new public employees.

Brownback said the state could eventually have a “hybrid” pension system for new teachers and government workers in which they choose between a 401(k)-style plan or a traditional one guaranteeing benefits up front based on an employee’s salary and years of service. Or, he said, the state could require new hires to join a 401(k)-style plan, as legislation approved by the state House would.

The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, or KPERS, projects a $7.7 billion shortfall between anticipated long-term revenues and the benefits promised to retirees and current public employees. The House and Senate have approved separate plans for addressing the problem, and their negotiators are scheduled to meet Monday to Please see PENSION, page 2A

County’s per capita income still lags behind state’s

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See a map showing the income in the top Kansas counties at LJWorld.com

Here’s guessing that an extra $7,000 a year would come in handy. That’s about how much more the average Kansan has

been making per year than the average Lawrence resident.

New federal numbers released this week show that Douglas County’s longtime trend of having per capita incomes well below the statewide average continued in 2009, the most recent year for which statistics are available.

And the numbers also suggested that the numbers can’t entirely be explained away by the fact that Lawrence is a university community with lots of students who earn little to no wages. When compared with the other 11 communities in the Big 12 Conference, Lawrence had the ninth lowest per capita

income, according to the new figures.

Lawrence leaders are well aware of the trend.

Supporters plan rally for WikiLeaks soldier

By John Milburn Associated Press Writer

T O P E K A — Activists said Thursday they are planning a rally in June in Leavenworth to support an Army private who’s accused of leaking classified documents in the WikiLeaks scandal.

Organizers posted online that they were planning a rally on June 4 in support of Pfc. Manning Bradley Manning, who was moved to Fort Leavenworth on Wednesday from a Marine brig in Quantico, Va. Manning is suspected of having obtained the classified documents while serving as an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq. He is awaiting a determination by the Army on whether he’s mentally competent to stand trial.

Jim Davidson, a Lawrence activist, said organizers invited regional and national figures to the event, including Ron Paul and Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

Davidson also hopes to draw representatives from anti-war and lesbian-gay community.

Davidson said Manning’s rights were being violated based on reports of his treatment in Virginia and lack of a speedy trial.

Messages left by The Associated Press with Manning’s attorney David Coombs for comment about the rally were not immediately returned Thursday.

Davidson said more than 100 people confirmed as of Thursday they would attend the rally, though he hoped for a larger turnout. Carpools were being assembled to bring activists from across the Midwest to the northeast Kansas city.

Manning is being held at the Joint Regional Correctional Facility at Fort Leavenworth. An Army official said Wednesday that Manning would be placed with other pre-trial inmates awaiting and receive a mental and physical evaluation. About 150 inmates are housed in the facility, adjacent to the U.S. Army Disciplinary Barracks, the military’s maximumsecurity prison.

BRIEFLY Toddler hurt in deadly crash goes home The 23-month-old Eudora girl who was injured in Saturday’s double-fatality vehicle accident on Kansas Highway 10 was able to go home from the hospital Thursday, the family said.

Chuck Lawrence, maternal grandfather of Courtlyn “Coco” Shutt, said his granddaughter was able to leave Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and that doctors expect her to make a full recovery.

Lawrence, of Overland Park, said Courtlyn suffered a broken vertebra in Saturday’s crash on the Church Street interchange near Eudora. She will be using a wheelchair for weeks, but she’s expected to be able to walk later, Lawrence said.

Cainan Shutt, Courtlyn’s 5year-old brother, and Ryan M. Pittman, 24, also of Eudora, both died in the head-on crash.

The Kansas Highway Patrol is still investigating the cause of the crash after Pittman’s Toyota Camry crossed the median into the westbound lanes and struck a minivan driven by Courtlyn’s stepgrandfather, Danny Basel.

Lawrence said the condition of Courtlyn’s grandmother, Ann Basel, was improving at Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. She suffered broken bones and a head injury, and Lawrence said he expected her to remain in the hospital for weeks. Danny and Ann Basel are Lawrence Public Works Department employees.

“

There’s no quick fix here. We’re probably not going to recruit that 1,000 employee company. It will be 20, 50, 100 jobs at a time.”

— Tom Kern, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce

Lawrence both had roughly the same per capita income of about $27,000 per year.

By 2009, Lawrence’s had grown to about $32,000. Manhattan’s had soared to $40,358.

Tom Kern, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said that shows how large the impact the troop buildup at neighboring Fort Riley has been for Manhattan. But Kern also said it is the type of growth Lawrence residents shouldn’t expect.

“There’s no quick f ix here,” Kern said. “We’re probably not going to recruit that 1,000 employee company. It will be 20, 50, 100 jobs at a time.”

But he believes the community is on the right track.

He pointed to increased employment at pharmaceutical start-up firms such as Deciphera, Crititech, and a b o ut 6 0 n ew h i g h - te c h jobs that are now housed in the bioscience and technology incubator that is on Kansas University’s West Campus.

“But this isn’t a three-year or five-year deal,” Kern said.

“We need to have elected officials and community leaders who have the persistence to go the long haul, and I believe we have that. We also have to have the population that has the patience.”

begin work on a final plan.

Public employee groups strongly oppose a move toward a 401(k)-style plan, in which a retiree’s benefits are based on investment earnings, fearing it means less financial security. But supporters of the move question whether the state can sustain its traditional plans, and Brownback noted that legislators have been wrestling with long-term KPERS funding issues for two decades.

“It’s not as if it hadn’t been worked on for a long time, and that’s why I think for new folks coming in, we’ve just got to get to a different system,” Brownback told AP. Brownback has avoided endorsing specific pension legislation, having asked lawmakers to draft a plan. In his comments Thursday, he seemed confident that Kansas will at least start a hybrid plan.

“On new people coming in, I think you’re looking at a new system of some type,” Brownback said.

Critics of 401(k)-style plans for public employees note that even if the state starts one, it will have to eliminate the long-term funding gap in existing plans. They argue that pushing workers into a 401(k)-style plan will rob older plans of employees’ contributions, making any funding shortfall worse.

“I still don’t understand why the governor doesn’t understand that,” said Jane Carter, executive director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees.

Public employee groups have pushed legislators to commit the state to making larger annual contributions to KPERS to close the long-term funding shortfall, arguing that shorting contributions for years caused much of the problem. Brownback agreed the state must “get the resources” to meet its obligations to public employees under their current, traditional plans.

Both the House and Senate plans increase the state’s annual contributions to KPERS, starting July 1, 2013.

The House plan commits an additional $10 million a year, while the figure is $23 million under the Senate bill.

The Senate proposal increases the percentage of salary that most existing and future employees would have to contribute to KPERS. It sets up a commission to study other changes, including a potential move toward a 401(k)-style plan for public employees.

Senate Majority Leader Jay Emler, a Lindsborg Republican, agreed that the commission will probably recommend a 401(k) plan or hybrid for new public employees. He said the goal in setting up the commission is to get strong guidance from outside the Legislature.

“We will have a lot better input,” Emler said.

The House bill starts a 401(k)-style plan and makes it mandatory for teachers and government workers hired on or after July 1, 2013. Other workers could join that plan — and would have their future benefits cut if they don’t.

Brownback said that if legislators opt to create a study commission, he expects it to recommend either the House proposal or a hybrid plan with a 401(k)-style option.

“I think you’re looking one of those two coming out of the commission — if that’s the final bill that passes — or we’ll see what happens on the House’s proposal on KPERS,” Brownback said.

Carter accused Brownback of trying to “strong-arm” a commission even before it begins a study.

“It seems like a pretty swift and iron hand to me,” she said.

“I’m alarmed by it, and I think the general public should be as well.”

KU takes steps to safeguard ticket sales

1 | LAS VEGAS

Sen. Ensign announces resignation Embattled Republican Sen. John Ensign of Nevada announced Thursday that he will resign amid an ongoing ethics investigation, a move that should spare him from the continued embarrassment of the closely watched probe.

Ensign insisted he’s done nothing wrong, but said he could no longer expose his family and constituents to the intense focus on his extramarital affair with a former staffer and the ethical allegations clouding that relationship.

“For my family and me, this continued personal cost is simply too great,” he said in a statement.

Ensign said he will send a letter making the resignation official to Vice President Joe Biden today. His exit will end the Senate Ethics Committee investigation.

But the senator could still be vulnerable to questions about his role in the aftermath of the affair. The husband of his former lover, who was also a former aide to Ensign, has been indicted for illegally lobbying the senator’s staff.

The Justice Department and the Federal Election Commission investigated and then dropped cases against Ensign with little explanation. The ethics committee, however, named a special counsel in February to look into the matter.

TOPEKA — Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle on Thursday said safeguards have been established to avoid another ticket scandal.

“We do have more controls in place,” Gray-Little told a crowd of about 100 people at the Topeka Rotary Club meeting.

In response to a question from the audience, Gray-Little said KU has increased auditing and other checks on ticket sales.

“Anytime you have a program where you have a large amount of cash or tickets ... being han-

dled by a wide variety of people, it is very difficult to keep absolute tabs on that,” she said.

Last year, the KU athletics department Gray-Little was rocked by the indictment of five people who prosecutors said stole and sold more than $2 million in KU football and basketball tickets.

Four of the five have been sentenced, including a former Kansas Athletics director of tickets operations, Charlette

Blubaugh, who was sentenced last week to 57 months in prison.

In response to another question about how important the athletics department was in driving financial support of KU, Gray-Little said that was difficult to determine.

“The athletics program helps define the university community,” she said. “It increases students’ commitment to the university and their continuing commitment as alumni.”

She also noted that the athletics department was its own corporation separate from the university.

Sustainable practices can become a habit

Japan draws up post-tsunami budget Japan drew up an extra budget worth over $50 billion today to help finance post-tsunami reconstruction efforts.

The Cabinet of Prime Minister Naoto Kan approved the budget totaling $50 billion, the finance ministry said. Japan’s parliament is expected to pass the budget next week.

Of the budget, the government will allocate around 1.2 trillion yen to fix roads and ports damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

The twin disasters decimated much of northeastern Japan, leaving more than 27,000 people dead or missing.

The government has said the cost of the tsunami disasters could reach $309 billion, making it the world’s most expensive natural disaster on record.

The nation’s economic upheaval has been especially hard on young people trying to start their working lives with a high school education or less.

Only about a third are working full-time, compared with two-thirds of recent college grads, according to an Associated Press-Viacom poll.

Most say money was a major reason they bypassed college, and the vast majority aspire to more education someday.

Four in 10 of those surveyed whose education stopped at high school are unemployed. Less than a quarter have part-time jobs, the poll of 18- to 24year-olds found.

The Labor Department’s figures document how much harder it’s become for these young adults to find a job since the recession that began late in 2007.

The unemployment rate has been over 20 percent each March for the past three years for high school graduates ages 16-24 who have no college education. That’s up from 10 percent in March 2007 and 14.5 percent a year later.

CDC predicts smoking bans nationwide By 2020, every state may have bans on smoking in restaurants, bars and the workplace, federal health officials predicted Thursday, based on the current pace of adopting anti-smoking laws.

The number of states with comprehensive indoor smoking bans went from zero in 2000 to 25 in 2010.

“It is by no means a foregone conclusion that we’ll get there by 2020,” said Dr. Tim McAfee, director of the CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health.

But the success of the smoking ban movement has been astounding, and seems to be accelerating, he added. “I’m relatively bullish we’ll at least get close to that number.”

Nearly half of U.S. residents are covered by comprehensive state or local indoor smoking bans, the CDC estimated, in a new report.

Another 10 states have laws than ban smoking in workplaces, bars or restaurants, but not in all three venues.

Some other states have less restrictive laws, like requiring smoking areas with separate ventilation.

Only seven states have no indoor smoking restrictions, although some of their cities do: Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming.

DR. DANIEL DICKERSON, SECOND FROM LEFT, GIVES A TOUR on Thursday to members of the Eudora Chamber of Commerce of the new Eudora Medical Plaza, which houses family doctors, therapy services and a pharmacy. Dickerson will relocate from a clinic near downtown Eudora, where he has worked since 2002. The $2.5 million building has 11 exam rooms, a procedure room and dedicated X-ray equipment.

Smokehouse. She is a longtime patient of Eudora Family Care, which previously was housed in a small building in downtown Eudora. The practice had three exam rooms.

Small, dark and dated were the words she used to describe the old clinic, as she stood in the foyer of the new building, which has a lot of windows and a high ceiling.

This year, consider celebrating Earth Day for 21 days instead of one.

A bit excessive, perhaps? But here’s why: research shows 21 days is about how long it takes for folks to form habits and keep them. And when it comes to making earth-friendly changes, some of the most effective steps can be made by slightly altering daily routines.

While it’s not nearly as intimidating as nailing a wind turbine to the top of the roof, the idea of constantly carrying around a water bottle, reusable coffee mug and shopping bag can be a bit daunting.

For motivation, think about these numbers: ● 25 billion Styrofoam coffee cups are thrown away each year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. ● Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour, many of which are thrown away, according to the Environmental Defense Fund. ● 100 billion to 1 trillion plastic

On the issue of state funding of KU, Gray-Little said KU has had to do more with less state funding during the past couple of years because of budget cuts.

That has meant increases in tuition and an increase in efforts to lure research dollars and contributions, she said.

KU is expecting flat or slightly less than flat funding from the Legislature this year, she said.

“I expect that to be the best thing we can expect for many years to come,” she said.

ith Earth Day here, there’s no better time than today to check out SunflowerHorizons. com, a new online community from The World Company and the Lawrence Journal-World.

SunflowerHorizons is for you — it’s a place for northeast Kansans to exchange common sense ideas for saving money by using less.

We want to highlight the ways we can use domestic and renewable sources of energy as individuals — think solar panels on roofs or geothermal heat pumps — or as a society — like the wind farms sprouting in western Kansas. Plus, we want to identify ways we can leave Kansas better than we found it, with cleaner water and cleaner air for our kids.

Almost everyone wants to save money.

Virtually everyone wants their kids to enjoy the places we live. At SunflowerHorizons, we want to give you the tools to make that happen.

We’ll present interactive chats with people who know what they’re talking about, so you can get down to the facts, and get your own questions answered.

We’ll also present case studies, so you can learn what your neighbor or favorite local business has done to cut his home heating bill in half.

And we’re starting in a big way.

Log onto SunflowerHorizons. com today and click on the link to Sustainability Trailblazers. Through an innovative partnership with the City of Lawrence, Douglas County, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and Kansas University’s Center for Sustainability, we’ve compiled a list of 20 companies, agencies and organizations that are taking efforts to lead the sustainability conversation in their industry. They’re serving local food on their menus, changing their

light bulbs to CFLs, improving their recycling systems, creating staff “green� teams and more. Changing our institutional behavior to more sustainable practices takes both the motivation to change, and good models to follow. So, from those 20, we identified six Trailblazers who have stepped ahead of the crowd and are doing even more: The Merc, Berry Plastics, K-State Research and Extension Douglas County, KU’s Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, Community Living Opportunities and Plymouth Congregational Church. We’ve catalogued the myriad steps those groups have taken and are featuring them on SunflowerHorizons.com.

Now it’s your turn. SunflowerHorizons will only be successful if you get involved. Log on, sign up, post. It’s free. It’s interactive.

And it’s about you and your community. At SunflowerHorizons, we’re about helping you make Smart Choices so that we all have a Bright Future. But to do that, we need you.

Businesses discount STREET CFLs for challenge ON THE

Have you ever attended the Kansas Relays?

Asked at Dillons, 1015 West 23rd St.

Jessica Mortinger, transportation planner, Lawrence “No, there are usually just other things going on.”

John Schneiderwind, graduate student, Lawrence “No, not really. I know it’s a big deal. I’m more of a football guy.”

Two local businesses are hoping to add spark to an energy-saving competition between Lawrence and Manhattan.

Cottin’s Hardware, 1832 Mass., and ES Lighting, 724 Conn., are offering discounts on compact fluorescent light bulbs in hopes that customers will use them to replace the more energy-consuming incandescent ones.

As part of the Take Charge Challenge, Manhattan and Lawrence are seeing which city can save the most energy in a nine-month period. The winner takes home a $100,000 grant to spend on a renewable energy project.

In one of three categories in the competition, residents are asked to register the number of incandescent bulbs being switched out to CFLs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, CFLs last 10 times longer than incandescent lights and use one-fourth the energy.

The competition takes into account population. So while Lawrence has switched out 5,297 bulbs to Manhattan’s 4,961, it is lagging behind the Little Apple. To pull ahead, Lawrence would have to essentially switch out two bulbs for every one that Manhattan changes.

“It’s mainly a way to encourage people to replace their incandescent lights with CFLs,” said Linda Cottin, owner of Cottin’s Hardware on the store’s promotion.

The store is offering 10 percent off all CFL lights until the end of September, which is when the competition ends.

To get the deal, mention the Take Charge Challenge when checking out.

Grant Lechtenberg, owner of ES Lighting, understands CFLs are more expensive up front.

“But in the end it saves energy and (reduces) pollution to the environment,” he said.

Until the end of April, ES Lighting is offering a four-pack of 60-watt equivalent CFL bulbs for $4. The pack usually costs about $9. The deal is limited to two packs per customer.

Lechtenberg said the most effective use of CFLs is putting them in areas of the house that have the lights on longest, such as the kitchen, bathroom, hallwayLAWRENCE or front porch.

“You want the type of light that you turn on and leave on for three to five hours a day,” Lechtenberg said.

Both stores have sign-up sheets so residents don’t have to go online to register the switch-outs.

“This is wonderful,” Trefz said.

Eudora Family Care now has 11 exams rooms, a procedure room, a break room and X-ray equipment. It has two primary care doctors: Liz Stamper and Daniel Dickerson.

The practice has about 5,000 patient visits per year, but Dickerson expects that to grow with its new location.

“I am going to be busier,” he said with a laugh. “This visibility will definitely make a difference.”

Byrne’s Pharmacy also moved into the building. It had been located in downtown Eudora for 40 years.

Those numbers are a little overwhelming. But local wellness and personal development strategist Cheryl Miller said guilt shouldn’t be the driving force behind the changes.

“For some things around the environment, we feel like we have to do it,” Miller said.

“But it has to be something we want to do.”

First you need to decide to form the habit; next plot and plan how it is going to work; and then schedule it. Once the habit is under way, keep track of how successful you are at accomplishing it, Miller said.

“There is nothing sexy about a habit. You’ve got to make it sexy by putting a spin on it, by saying, ‘This is what I’m doing, this is why I’m doing it, look how many times I’m doing it,’” Miller said.

Sometimes adjustments are needed. The difference between remembering and forgetting to grab your shopping bags could be as simple as moving them from the back seat to the front seat of the car.

Abortion-rights foes seek tighter insurance regulation

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Abortion opponents who’ve pushed successfully in Kansas for tighter restrictions on late-term procedures and additional rules for doctors also are pressing legislators for a new insurance regulation to keep health plans from automatically covering the termination of most pregnancies.

They’re trying to revive a proposal to restrict health plans to covering only abortions necessary to save a woman’s life and to require insurance companies to offer separate, stand-alone policies for “elective” procedures. Supporters want to attach the proposal to other insurance legislation once the Legislature reconvenes Wednesday to wrap up business for the year.

The Republican gains in November have led to a flurry of such anti-abortion legislation in many states, including bills that would limit insurance coverage for the procedures. Critics of the insurance proposal contend that it’s designed to limit access to abortion services by cutting off a way for women and girls to pay for them.

Supporters contend that the insurance regulation would protect employers who oppose abortion rights from having to contribute to employee health plans that cover abortions.

Ernie Straub, who runs a Shawnee construction company, said he raised the issue with the anti-abortion group Kansans for Life last year when he discovered his company health plan covered the procedures.

“I do not want to be participating in funding abortions with my dollars,” said Straub, whose company picks up the

“

These are issues that have significant, both, policy implications and implications for the everyday lives of women.”

— Peter Brownlie, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and MidMissouri full cost of health insurance for employees who’ve worked there for at least seven years.

“That’s worse than my tax dollars going to it.”

Abortion rights supporters contend the state should continue to allow the health insurance market to decide whether abortion services are covered.

“These are issues that have significant, both, policy implications and implications for the everyday lives of women,” said Peter Brownlie, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, which performs abortions at its Overland Park clinic.

Five states, including Missouri, have laws requiring private insurance companies to offer coverage for most abortions in separate policies, with Utah lawmakers approving one this year, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights. A dozen limit abortion coverage for public employees.

The legislation in Kansas would include both provisions and prohibit the sale of abortion coverage through any insurance exchange established under last year’s federal health care overhaul.

Critics of the legislation worry that abortion-only policies would be expensive

or companies wouldn’t offer them.

Off icials in Idaho and North Dakota, which have such laws, said only a few insurers offer abortion-only policies, and their states don’t track how many are purchased. But Bill Deal, the director of the Idaho Insurance Department, said such policies in his state cost only 2 cents or 3 cents a month.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City, which serves 30 counties in Missouri and Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas, doesn’t set a separate price for abortiononly policies, said spokeswoman Susan Johnson. It figures the cost for each group seeking the coverage, then adds it to the regular health plan it purchases, she said.

Johnson said “a handful” of clients seek abortion coverage.

In Kansas, the state Association of Health Plans is neutral on the issue. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas, the state’s largest health insurance company, also isn’t taking a position.

Spokeswoman Mary Beth Chambers said elective abortions are covered by all the Kansas Blues’ plans unless a group of 50 or more asks to have the coverage excluded.

Few do, Chambers said.

Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican who took office in January, has called on lawmakers to create a “culture of life,” and both chambers have anti-abortion majorities.

Brownback already has signed bills to tighten restrictions on late-term abortions and require doctors to obtain parental consent before performing abortions on minors.

Legislators are expected to send him a bill imposing health and safety regulations specifically for abortion clinics.

Amazon failure takes down sites across Web

By Peter Svensson Associated Press Writer

N EW Y ORK — Major websites including Foursquare and Reddit crashed or suffered slowdowns Thursday after technical problems rattled Amazon.com’s widely used Web servers, frustrating millions of people who couldn’t access their favorite sites.

Though better known for selling books, DVDs and other consumer goods, Amazon also rents out space on huge computer servers that run many websites and other online services.

The problems began at an Amazon data center near Dulles Airport outside Washington and persisted into the afternoon. The failures were widespread, but they varied in severity.

HootSuite, which lets users monitor Twitter and other social networks more easily, was down completely, as was questions-and-answers site Quora.

The location-sharing social network Foursquare experienced glitches, while the news-sharing site Reddit was in “emergency read-only mode.”

Many other companies that use Amazon Web Services, like Netflix Inc. and Zynga Inc., which runs Facebook games, appeared to be unscathed. Amazon has at least one other major data center that stayed up, in California.

It’s not uncommon for Internet services to become inaccessible due to technical

problems, sometimes for hours or even days. But Thursday’s outages were notable because Amazon’s servers are so commonly used, meaning many sites went down at once.

Amazon did not respond to requests for comment. It has not revealed how many companies use its Web services or how many were affected by the outage.

No one knew for sure how many people were inconvenienced, but the services affected are used by millions.

Amazon Web Services provide “cloud” or utility-style computing in which customers pay only for the computing power and storage they need, on remote computers.

Seattle-based Amazon has big plans for AWS. Although it now makes up just a few percent of the company’s revenue, CEO Jeff Bezos said last year that it could eventually be as large as Amazon’s retail business.

Competitors include Rackspace Hosting Inc. and Microsoft Corp.’s Azure platform.

Some people consider cloud computing more reliable than conventional hosting services in which a small company might rent a handful of computers in a data center.

If one of them malfunctions, the failure can take down a website. But “clouds” like AWS use vast banks of computers. If one fails, the tasks that it performs, such as running a website or a game, can immediately be taken over by others.

Medical marijuana bill hasn’t gone far in Kan. TOPEKA — A medical marijuana bill hasn’t gone far in the Kansas Legislature.

Rep. Gail Finney, a Wichita Democrat, introduced the measure, which would legalize marijuana use for registered patients served by designated care centers. An 11-member state commission would oversee the operation.

Advocates say pot reduces pain, moderates nausea and increases appetite among people suffering from cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis C and other maladies.

But The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the measure has been a tough sell among Kansas legislators.

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, the Hutchinson Republican who controls flow of legislation in the House, said he would not be using his influence to advance Finney’s bill. And the chair of the House’s health committee, Rep. Brenda Landwehr, a Wichita Republican, hasn’t scheduled a hearing on the bill this session.

Obama: No break this spring at the gas pump New task force will examine gas prices Americans cancel travel plans amid high fuel prices

By Michelle R. Smith

Associated Press Writer

By Julie Pace Associated Press Writer

R E N O , N E V . — President Barack Obama said Thursday that the Justice Department will try to “root out” cases of fraud or manipulation in oil markets, even as Attorney General Eric Holder suggested a variety of legal reasons may be behind gasoline’s surge to $4 a gallon.

“We are going to make sure that no one is taking advantage of the American people for their own short-term gain,” Obama said at a townhall style meeting at a Obama renewable energy plant in Reno, Nev. With the 2012 campaign in mind, the White House is anxious to show the public it’s taking action to address rising gas prices. The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.84 on Thursday, about 30 cents higher than a month ago and almost a dollar higher than a year ago.

Obama, decrying such levels as yet another hardship “at a time when things were already pretty tough,” said Holder was forming the Financial Fraud Enforcement Working Group.

The task force will focus some of its investigation on “the role of traders and speculators” in the oil-price surge, Obama said, and will include several Cabinet department officials, federal regulators and the National Association of Attorneys General.

In Washington, Holder said he would press ahead with the investigation, even though he did not cite any current evidence of intentional manipulation of oil and gas prices or fraud.

“Based upon our work and research to date, it is evident that there are regional differences in gasoline prices, as well as differences in the statutory and other legal tools at the government’s disposal,” Holder said in a memo accompanying a statement announcing the task force. “It is also clear that there are lawful reasons for increases in gas prices, given supply and demand.”

“Nonetheless, where consumers are harmed by unlawful conduct that has the effect of increasing gas prices, state and federal authorities will take swift action,” Holder said.

He promised to “be vigilant in monitoring the oil and gas markets for any wrongdoing so that consumers can be confident they are not paying higher prices as a result of illegal activity.”

There’s not much Obama can do to affect the price of gasoline in short term, something he acknowledged in his remarks. Gas prices have risen steadily as a result of tensions in the Middle East and northern Africa and rising demand from China and other emerging economies.

Given that no evidence has yet surfaced of actual fraud or price manipulation in oil markets, Obama’s remarks appeared, at least in part, as more of an attempt to assuage public anger over rising gas prices.

In an Associated Press-Gfk poll last month, 51 percent of adults said they thought recent increases in gas prices were due to “oil companies that want to boost profits” rather than changes in the global oil market.

Obama renewed his proposal to end roughly $4 billion annually in various government subsidies to oil and gas companies “at a time when they’re making record profits and you’re paying near record prices at the pump. It has to stop.”

With gas prices above $4 in some states, Americans are canceling spring break plans and rethinking summer vacation, and some tourist destinations are offering gas vouchers of as much as $50 to talk people out of giving up and staying home.

At Mount Rushmore, only about 37,000 people decided in March that seeing the four granite-etched presidential sculptures was worth the trip, down from about 43,000 a year before.

At the Grand Canyon, a marketing executive for one company that offers sweeping helicopter vistas says 10 percent fewer people than last year are driving up and booking tours. The company is counting on international tourists to make up the rest.

And along the Rhode Island coast, where 800,000 people a

year show up to gawk at the opulence of Gilded Age mansions, it’s even worse — business is off 30 percent just since the beginning of March.

Memorial Day is still five weeks away, and summer doesn’t officially start for two months. This year, anxiety over high gas prices — and whether the family vacation will bust the family budget — has come early.

“I can’t go anywhere because I can’t afford it,” said Greg Sensing, who works in admissions for the University of Maryland. “It’s kind of nice to take a road trip, to get in the car, you see the country, and now why bother doing it?”

The gas jitters have much broader implications than how many people show up to take pictures of Bryce Canyon, Mount Rainier or the Everglades. Gas prices are closely tied to the health of the overall economy.

A gallon of gas costs an average of $3.84 in the United States, almost a full dollar more than a year ago. The average is above $4 in six states: $4.52 in Hawaii, $4.21 in California, $4.18 in Alaska,

$

$4.11 in Connecticut, $4.08 in Illinois and $4.05 in New York.

It’s too early to tell how much of a toll gas prices will take on the summer travel season. The jitters have come so early that AAA hasn’t even put out its summer travel forecast yet.

But there are already signs that the eye-popping prices at the pump are changing Americans’ behavior. In Oklahoma, where gas is a relatively cheap $3.69 per gallon, AAA says it’s getting a lot more calls from people who are out of gas on the highway. National demand for gasoline, which should be rising this time of year, is falling instead.

Some tourist destinations are worried people won’t bother piling the family into the car at all.

Branson, Mo., the Ozark Mountains hotspot that draws people from hundreds of miles away to tour caverns, frolic in amusement parks and see live entertainment, is offering a discount card worth $50 in gas starting in June.

The Preservation Society of Newport County, R.I., which runs several of the

Rhode Island mansions, is offering $5 back to anyone who buys two $24.50 tickets to two mansions and shows their car registration.

Bill Pott, owner of Jellystone Park Camp Resort in Cave City, Ky., near Mammoth Cave National Park, says he’s had a strong spring season so far, but he’s offering an informal discount to help folks cover their travel costs: Stay three nights in a $70-a-night cabin, and he’ll discount your bill $40 to pay for a tank of gas.

“Most people are driving three or four hours to get here, and I can’t do a thing about national fuel prices or the economy, but I can help the kids have a good spring break,” he said.

All that still may not be enough, especially if — as analysts fear — the price of gas keeps climbing.

“In my mind, if gas goes to $5 a gallon here, all bets are off,” said Linda Schmitt, executive director of the Kansas Underground Salt Museum, which offers a 650-foot descent to see a vintage locomotive, train tracks and ore carts.

High court asked to review indecency policy WASHINGTON — The Obama administration asked the Supreme Court Thursday to reinstate a policy that allows federal regulators to fine broadcasters for showing nudity and airing curse words when young children may be watching television.

The administration is seeking the high court’s review of appeals court rulings that threw out the Federal Communications Commission’s rules against the isolated use of expletives as well as fines against broadcasters who showed a woman’s nude buttocks on a 2003 episode of ABC’s “NYPD Blue.”

Last year, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York threw out the FCC policy, saying it was unconstitutionally vague and left broadcasters uncertain of what programming the agency will find offensive.

The challenge to the FCC rules arose over celebrities’ use of the F-word and S-word on live awards show programs.

In January, the same court said its ruling on the FCC policy compelled it to nullify a penalty of more than $1.2 million against ABC and 45 affiliates over less than seven seconds of airtime from “NYPD Blue.”

Obama OKs use of armed drones in Libya

By Lolita C. Baldor and Robert Burns Associated Press Writers

W A S H I N G T O N — President Barack Obama has approved the use of armed drones in Libya, authorizing U.S. airstrikes on ground forces for the first time since America turned over control of the operation to NATO on April 4.

It also is the first time that drones will be used for airstrikes since the conflict began on March 19, although they have routinely been flying surveillance missions, Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters at a Pentagon briefing Thursday.

He said the U.S. will provide up to two 24-hour combat air patrols each day by the unmanned Predators.

Marine Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the drones can help counteract the pro-Gadhafi forces’ tactic of traveling in civilian vehicles that make it difficult to distinguish them from rebel forces.

“What they will bring that is unique to the conflict is their ability to get down lower, therefore to be able to get better visibility on targets that have started to dig themselves into defensive positions,” Cartwright said.

“They are uniquely suited for urban areas.”

He added, “It’s very difficult to pick friend from foe.

So a vehicle like the Predator that can get down lower and can get IDs better helps us.“ Gates rejected the notion that the approval of drone

strikes means that the U.S. will slowly get pulled back into a more active combat role, despite Obama’s promise to merely provide support.

U.S. forces played a lead role in the early days of the conflict, launching an onslaught of cruise missiles and bombs on Gadhafi’s surface-to-air missiles sites and advancing regime troops.

But with American forces stretched by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the humanitarian operations in Japan, the Pentagon turned the mission over to NATO, saying it would only do limited airstrikes to take out air defenses. The U.S., said Obama, would no longer do airstrikes to protect the civilian population.

Gates said that bringing in

the Predators will give NATO a critical capability that the U.S. can uniquely contribute.

“I think this is a very limited additional role on our part, but it does provide some additional capabilities to NATO,” said Gates. “And if we can make a modest contribution with these armed Predators, we’ll do it. ... I don’t think any of us sees that as mission creep.”

He said Obama has been clear that there will be no U.S. boots on the ground and that the main strike role would belong to the allies.

The first Predator mission since Obama’s go-ahead was flown Thursday but the aircraft — armed with Hellfire missiles — turned back due to poor weather conditions without f iring any of its munitions, Cartwright said.

Gates foresees turning point in Afghanistan war WASHINGTON — If hard-won security gains made against the Taliban over the past year can be sustained during the peak fighting season in Afghanistan this summer, the U.S. and its allies may find they have “turned a corner” by the end of this year, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.

It was one of the more optimistic comments about the

Associated Press Writer

ABOARD THE IONIAN SPIRIT — The scene was testimony to the wrenching changes war brings. It turned Dr. Ali Salhi, a Libyan dentist, into a battlefield medic. In a ship’s corridor transformed into an intensive care unit, the patient he hovered over was his little brother, a lawyer who became a fighter to defend their home city Misrata from Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.

Near a stack of life vests, Khaled Salhi lay unconscious on a mattress, a hunk of shrapnel lodged in his brain.

Ali silently watched the tubes running into his brother’s mouth and nose and listened to the beep of the heart monitor. Khaled hasn’t woken up since he was hit.

But the 33-year-old Ali doesn’t regret that his brother, six years younger than him, fought.

“If we all prevented our brothers from fighting, there would be no resistance to Gadhafi,” he said Thursday.

“My brother might die and others as well, but we have to defend our city.”

On Thursday, the Ionian Spirit, a Greek passenger ferry, carried away more than 1,000 people fleeing Misrata.

Also aboard the vessel, which docked in Benghazi late Thursday, were the bodies of an Oscar-nominated documentary maker from Britain and an American photographer who were killed covering clashes Wednesday.

Areas below deck were turned into impromptu clinics for the wounded. The ship’s bar-disco was settled

by Libyan families. Every hallway and seat was filled by others, including African and Asian workers, sleeping, eating, taking the opportunity of their first electricity in days to charge their cellphones.

The two-month-old antiGadhaf i rebellion has upturned lives across Libya, but perhaps nowhere else more completely than in Mis-

rata, Libya’s third largest city and the most significant rebel stronghold in the regimecontrolled western half of the country. For nearly two months, Gadhafi forces have surrounded the city from three sides, pounding it with shelling and rocket fire, with ground troops and rebel fighters battling building by building along the main boulevard in the center of town.

Thousands have fled the city of 300,000 in ships from Misrata’s Mediterranean port, on the more than daylong journey across the Bay of Sirte to the de facto rebel capital Benghazi. The Ionian Spirit’s journey was organized by the International Organization for Migration.

The ship’s passengers include dozens of injured and shell-shocked Libyans, hundreds of migrant workers from Africa, as well as smaller groups from Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines.

Their presence on a tourist vessel created bizarre contrasts. Many of the Africans were impoverished laborers who sneaked across the desert and entered Libya illegally to look for work. On the ferry, they took over nearly every seat, table and much of the floor in the ship’s main cabin and outside deck.

Nearby sat 24 Filipinos, among them 16 who came to teach at the university in Misrata for salaries five times higher than what they could earn at home. The others worked as nurses or factory engineers.

Upstairs, the Panorama Bar holds more than 100 Libyans, mostly families with children, who tried to flee the city by tugboat before the ferry arrived. Now they sit and sleep at cocktail tables while their children race around and spin on the padded swivel chairs. Shutters on the bar have been tightly closed, and the conservative Muslim families have drawn the curtains across a small dance floor to provide privacy for nursing women.

war’s outlook by Gates, who has overseen an escalation of U.S. fighting this year and is widely expected to retire in coming months.

The U.S. plans to begin pulling out some of its nearly 100,000 troops in Afghanistan in July. The stated U.S. and NATO goal is to have Afghan forces take the combat lead by the end of 2014.

Dry ice lake suggests Mars had ‘Dust Bowl’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Think Mars today is a hostile place?

It was worse 600,000 years ago, according to new research that suggests the planet had a dustier, stormier atmosphere.

“It was an unpleasant place to hang out,” said lead researcher Roger Phillips of the Southwest Research Institute. He said Mars’ climate was probably a lot like the American Dust Bowl of the 1930s — but a lot worse.

The evidence comes from the discovery of a huge underground reservoir of dry ice, or frozen carbon dioxide, at its south pole — much more than scientists realized. They suspect some of that store of carbon dioxide was once in Mars’ atmosphere, making it denser.

In the recent geologic past, when Mars’ axis tilted, sunlight reached the southern polar cap, melting some of the frozen carbon dioxide. This release would have made the atmosphere thicker and caused more dust to loft into

the air, creating severe storms.

Other times, carbon dioxide cycled back into the ground as part of a seasonal cycle.

There is an upside to that stormier climate: The thicker atmosphere back then meant there were more regions on the planet where liquid water probably existed. Water is considered an essential ingredient for life.

Still, “it was not the balmy, tropical Mars” that existed even billions of years earlier, Phillips said.

Mars today is frigid, arid and constantly bombarded by lethal radiation. Its atmosphere, made up mostly of carbon dioxide, is many times thinner than the top of Mount Everest on Earth. In fact, the Martian atmosphere is less than 1 percent of Earth’s.

The red planet wasn’t always this unforgiving. A maze of gullies, canyons and river channels on the surface points to a warmer and wetter past very early in the planet’s history.

Property problem “Demolition by neglect” is a continuing problem that deserves the city’s attention.

C

ongratulations to new Mayor Aron Cromwell and other Lawrence city commissioners who are attempting to hold the owners of an East Lawrence property accountable for allowing the house on that property to fall into dangerous disrepair.

The owners now are seeking a demolition permit for the house at 711 Conn. so they can move forward with plans to replace it with a revenue-producing apartment project. As Cromwell noted during Tuesday’s City Commission meeting, the very people who allowed the house to deteriorate now are seeking to profit off that action. “Rather than hanging their heads and apologizing,” Cromwell said, “they stand before us with a plan to capitalize on their neglect.”

“Demolition by neglect” is not a new concept in Lawrence. It has long been practiced by landlords, especially in central city neighborhoods who want to replace older houses with new structures that will increase their rental income. The Oread Neighborhood, north and east of the Kansas University campus has fought for years to keep landlords from simply foregoing any maintenance of older homes until they deteriorate to the point that the city declares them uninhabitable.

Then they can be dozed and replaced with more lucrative rental property that often isn’t a good fit for the neighborhood.

In the case of 711 Conn., city commissioners have decided to try to take a stand. On Tuesday, they denied the demolition permit and directed city staff to research city codes to determine what could be done to force the property owner to improve, rather than tear down, the property.

First, they’ll have to unravel the mystery of who is responsible for maintaining the property. The owner of 711 Conn. says he only bought the property to allow the neighboring Praise Temple Church to purchase it from him “on contract.” Attorney Michael Tubbs told commissioners he was speaking on behalf of those who want to redevelop the property, but he wouldn’t identify his clients or say who was responsible for managing the property.

It’s notable that Praise Temple is led by Rev. Paul Winn, who has been cited before for housing code violations on East Lawrence rental property. Both Winn, a former specialist in the city’s Human Relations Department, and Tubbs, a former analyst for the city, are well aware of how the system works — and how they might work the system — to clear the house at 711 Conn. to make room for a more lucrative structure.

Maintaining the existing housing stock is important to the stability and aestethics of central-city neighborhoods. Preventing “demolition by neglect” is an ongoing and difficult battle for Lawrence. It’s good to see current commissioners finding out what steps can be taken to prevent property owners from profiting from their own neglect.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for April 22, 1911: “Last week a Lawrence woman, whose husband was formerly a minister, YEARS concluded to go to Kansas City for an AGO Easter hat and to spend a week visiting IN 1911 relatives in the city. She was not expected home until the latter part of this week. However, tiring of the giddy life of the city, she concluded to return earlier, and horror of horrors, when she peered through the front door there was a dainty and distinctly feminine slipper reposing on the dining room table. The front door was locked and when she finally gained entrance through a side door, there was hubby and another woman drinking something from a bottle in the kitchen. Just what kind of scene was enacted, the reporter wasn’t told.”

U.S. should step up diplomatic efforts WASHINGTON — Samuel Johnson famously observed that the prospect of hanging concentrates the mind. The same could be said about America’s current budget crisis: It should force some hard decisions about foreign policy priorities — so that we spend more to support the democratic revolution in Egypt and less to seek a military solution in Afghanistan.

Today, the United States is allocating about $110 billion annually for the Afghan War, about $3.2 billion for military and economic aid to Pakistan, and about $150 million in special assistance to help Egypt’s democratic revolution. In terms of U.S. national interests, those spending levels don’t make sense. The pyramid is upside down.

President Obama should seize this budget-crisis moment to change national-security spending for the next fiscal year. The rationale for the shower of cash in Afghanistan is to prevent future attacks by al-Qaida. But, frankly, a successful, democratic Egypt will be a more potent counter to the spread of Islamic terrorism than a stable Afghanistan. And a prosperous, democratic Pakistan would be the best safeguard of all.

This is not an argument for pulling the plug in Afghanistan, especially at the start of this year’s “fighting season.” The U.S. should stick to its broad timetable for transferring responsibility to the Afghans in 2014. But we should spend less,

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

President Obama “should seize this

budget-crisis moment to change national-security spending for the next fiscal year.”

going forward, as we move along the exit ramp. This will mean a smaller military footprint, more use of paramilitary forces and more emphasis on diplomacy.

The time is right for this pivot.

Recent weeks have seen new outreach to the Taliban. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Feb. 18 announced a “diplomatic surge” and subtly shifted what had been preconditions for Afghan peace talks so that they were instead “necessary outcomes.” And she hired Marc Grossman, a veteran diplomat who strongly favors negotiation with the Taliban, as her new Afghanistan representative. The quiet, low-key Grossman may have better luck facilitating this process than did his high-voltage predecessor, the late Richard Holbrooke.

There’s new momentum from Afghanistan and Pakistan as well.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani visited Kabul last weekend to meet with President Hamid Karzai. They upgraded plans for a “joint peace commission” that, crucially, will include Gen. Ashfaq Kiyani and Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the chiefs of Pakistani army and intelligence, respectively, who accompanied Gillani to Kabul. The message is that Pakistan wants to help broker a peace deal, now.

Another push for the Af-Pak peace train is coming from Britain, which also wants a prompt start for negotiations.

The British are working several possible contacts with the Taliban and are circulating a plan that they are calling, in classic Anglo-speak, a “non-paper.”

The awkward question, of course, is whether the Taliban are ready to play. Some intermediaries have been saying yes, but Grossman wants more clarity about who’s on the other side.

The U.S. wants a Taliban representative who can make decisions, who is connected with Mohammad Omar, the Taliban leader, and who will work toward a settlement that would include America’s three “outcomes” of renouncing al-Qaida, halting violence and respecting the Afghan constitution. Grossman hasn’t yet found such a negotiating partner, but he’s looking — with British, Afghan and Pakistani help.

Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S.

military commander in Kabul, favors negotiations in principle, but wants more time to squeeze the Taliban for leverage. Petraeus has supported the recent negotiating feelers. In the meantime, he’s hoping to disarm enough low-level Taliban that Omar will have trouble fielding a robust insurgency.

Petraeus surely won’t win a military victory before he is expected to hand off command this fall, but it’s intriguing to ponder how he might oversee the coming phase, which may lean more on paramilitary forces, if he should become the next CIA director.

The CIA will also remain the key point of contact with Pakistan, which is the decisive battlefield for combating al-Qaida.

Which brings me back to support for Egypt’s democratic revolution. Simply put, there is no greater priority for U.S. counterterrorism policy than helping the Tahrir Square revolutionaries build a strong new country that can lead the rest of the Arab and Islamic world toward a better, saner future. The Egyptians are going to need help, big-time, to repair their damaged economy and their demoralized police.

America needs to put its money where its interests are.

That’s the unifying link between the Arab Spring and Af-Pak: The promise of the former must lead us to change our spending mix for the latter, and the time is now.

PUBLIC FORUM

Teachers’ hours

Trump is out to trick voters In bridge, a trump card is held in reserve for winning a trick. In politics, Donald Trump is anything but reserved and appears to think he might trick enough voters to win the next presidential election.

There’s plenty to draw on when critiquing a possible Trump candidacy. His multiple marriages (three) and affairs provide fodder for the media and contrast poorly with President Obama’s “family values” image as husband of one wife and father of young daughters, whom he clearly loves.

In recent weeks, Trump has been trying to gain a toehold in the evangelical community, which is especially influential in Iowa, where caucuses begin the process of nominating a presidential candidate.

In an interview with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network, Trump described Christianity as “a wonderful religion.” In answer to a question about his faith, Trump said, “I believe in God. I am Christian. I think the Bible is certainly, it is ‘the’ book. It is the thing.”

To evangelical ears, that lacks substance. While a candidate’s faith should matter only if it affects policy, if someone wishes to use his or her faith to win votes, then voters ought to be able to judge the depth of that faith as a means of determining their credibility.

What should we make of Trump telling Brody that people send him Bibles all the time and that he stores them “in a very nice place”?

“There is no way I would ever throw anything, to do anything negative to a Bible. I would have a fear of doing something other than very positive so actually I store them and keep them and sometimes give them away to other people.”

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

Donald Trump is no “conservative.

In fact, it’s hard to say which party he’s affiliated with.”

Does he read the Bible and believe what it says? How about the parts concerning marriage, divorce and fornication? Would that be something Trump should take to heart? Brody didn’t ask and Trump didn’t volunteer. He did say he goes to church “as much as I can. Always on Christmas.

Always on Easter. Always when there’s a major occasion.” Christians know a lot of people who attend church only on Christmas and Easter and special occasions.

They are usually not serious about their faith. Not to judge, but if Trump intends to use faith to win votes from people of faith, then those people have a right to determine whether he is sincere or simply trying to manipulate them.

Trump also appears shifty when it comes to judging our “worst” president. In 2007, Trump said President George W. Bush was “the worst president ever.” In 2008, he said Bush should be impeached and that he was “impressed” by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But this year he says President Obama is

“the worst president ever.” He is also on record as saying Jimmy Carter was the worst president.

Trump has donated to many liberal Democrats, arguing that since he lives in liberal New York City he had no other choice. Really?

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin isn’t buying it. On a recent broadcast of “The Mark Levin Show,” he asked, “Where was (Trump) during the tea party’s rise and throughout the battles it was having? Why was he donating to Senator (Chuck) Schumer, Congressman Anthony Weiner and Hillary Clinton’s campaigns when the tea party was beginning to rise?” Levin also notes that Trump wants universal health care and asked, “How is that conservative?” Trump also has flipped from pro-choice on abortion to pro-life because, he told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, two married friends who wanted to abort their child, decided not to and now are happy they didn’t. Pro-lifers won’t be impressed because Trump didn’t mention the baby’s right to life.

Donald Trump is no conservative. In fact, it’s hard to say which party he’s affiliated with. In 1987, he was Republican. In 1999, he switched to the Independence Party. In 2009, when he first considered the presidency, the New York Daily News reported, “The Donald switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican.”

One thing’s for sure, if he runs for president, he could harm the eventual Republican nominee.

Maybe that’s why so many in the liberal media are promoting him while President Obama’s approval ratings continue to fall.

To the editor: I would like to respond to Barbara Paris’ April 16 letter.

Have you ever lived with a teacher? I do.

I have never witnessed someone more dedicated to her profession. She is up early every morning for her commute to be at school to greet the students. She gives up her planning period on a regular basis to attend meetings. She does lunchroom duty, which leaves her only a few minutes for her own meal. She stays after school to help students who need that extra something.

She gets home, cooks dinner, tries to get in a workout, and then she begins preparing for the next school day. She spends three to four hours a night creating new and exciting lessons so the students will be energized about learning. She grades tests, reads papers, answers emails from parents. She updates her website so parents can stay informed of what is going on in the classroom.

During the summer months, she takes on another job to help supplement her income. She may take a week off right after the school year ends but jumps right back into organizing her thoughts and ideas for the next school year.

She is always a teacher.

Oh, and by the way, she does all this while working on her master’s degree, which is now becoming more and more expected of new teachers.

So don’t ever say that teachers only work eight months out of a year. Add up all the hours they put in and they work more hours than most any other profession.

Patti Green, Lawrence

The Civil Wars There’s a lot of buzz around Nashville duo The Civil Wars, and for good reason — they’re great.

John Paul White and Joy Williams compliment each other perfectly both vocally and instrumentally as they alternate between lead and back-up on their EP and first full-length “Barton Hallow.” Williams voice is a like a wounded bird — gentle yet cutting, while White is able to convey a lot of tortured emotion without sounding like a hack.

As for the music itself, based off of their previous EP, “Poison & Wine” they make slow-building, semianthemic declarations of love and loss, while occasionally moving into more folksy trappings. This is a band on the verge.

KANSAS RELAYS

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Another Penny turns up Although much is made of the Kansas University athletic department turning into quite the money machine in recent years, a closer look reveals the truth: A generation doesn’t go by where the department is Penny-less.

Junius Penny went from Lawrence High to KU, where he played football. His younger brother Charlie came to KU to play football and basketball.

Charlie’s football career was cut short by an injury that, according to his nephew, left him convulsing and left spectators wondering whether they were witnessing a death. Charlie survived to earn three varsity letters playing basketball for Phog Allen.

Junius’ son and Charlie’s nephew, Bill Penny, came to KU from Emporia High, where he won the state title in the discus and placed second in the shot put. At KU, Bill quickly learned he couldn’t compete with a couple of classmates and switched to the hammer throw, an event in which he placed third in the NCAA Championships.

Bill’s son Nate played linebacker for Glen Mason. A good Penny, it seems, always turns up at KU. (Somehow, Nate’s brother, Jon, ended up at Nebraska, playing linebacker for Tom Osborne and Frank Solich.)

But a University of Oregon graduate who is a student at KU Medical Center using his remaining year of eligibility to throw the hammer for the Jayhawks in the Kansas Relays?

True enough. Scott Penny, former standout LHS football player, two-time state champ in the shot put and a state titlist and runner-up in the discus, competed Thursday at the corner of 11th and Mississippi.

A gathering of about 20 people, including former KU basketball player and second-year med student Christian Moody, showed up for to root for Penny, the second of the third-generation Jayhawks.

Scott, brother to Nate and Jon, had his father’s old pink uniform in his duffel bag.

“I would have worn it, but I don’t think adidas would have liked that,” Penny said of KU’s and the meet’s apparel sponsor.

“I decided not to step on any toes.”

Penny finished fourth with a hammer throw of 187 feet, seven inches, and still ranks second in the family to his father. Scott’s best throw, which came at Oregon, was roughly 198 feet, about five feet shy of Bill’s best.

“He’s not through yet,” Bill said. “I really am rooting for him to do it. I’d like to see him go 205, 210.”

If the son passes the father, it will rank as quite a feat, considering the demands on his time as a medical student who commutes 45 minutes each way “two or three times a week” to throw with teammates and does the rest of his training at the rec center at KU Med Center.

Before Thursday’s competition, Penny’s old high school football coach, Dirk Wedd, greeted him: “What in the world are you thinking? You’re a med student, and you’re throwing a hammer?”

Retorted Penny: “Coach, everyone has hobbies.”

Playing guitar is another of Scott’s hobbies. The Renaissance Man of Bill and Marlene’s family also has tried his hand at acting in a Shakespeare play while a student at Oregon.

Those hobbies had nothing to do with this cold, gray day that was all about a father and son’s love for each other and for the sport of track and field.

LONG JUMPER NICK GORDON FLIES THROUGH THE AIR during the Kansas Relays elite long jump event. Gordon won the event held Thursday downtown on Eighth Street between Mass. and Vermont.

NU’s Gordon leaps to long jump title

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Fans stood two rows deep to the left and right of University of Nebraska senior Nicholas Gordon.

They clapped rhythmically as the Jamaican track and field sensation took off down the makeshift longjump runway Thursday night in downtown Lawrence.

Spurred by 500 fans on Eighth Street between Vermont and Massachusetts, Gordon sailed 251 2 ⁄2 on his sixth and final attempt, winning an Kansas Relays invitational long jump tiebreaker over former Kansas University standout Eric Babb, who coincidentally 1 went 25-2 ⁄2 on his first try.

“I mean, it’s definitely a different experience. It was really fun,”

Gordon said of taking the meet to the fans in the street.

“A lot of these people probably have never seen a long jump before. It’s fun to bring the sport to some people who have never experienced it.”

The four-time All-American, who plans to compete in the collegiate triple jump today and long jump Saturday at Memorial Stadium, said he wasn’t affected by a runway a bit shorter than he’s used to.

“I had to shorten my approach a bit, not much. It was probably 15 feet or so. I had a great time,” said Gordon, deemed the winner because he had the second-longest jump (25 feet).

Babb, a 2007 KU graduate from Garden City who teaches math on

campus, had a cheering section standing right off Mass Street.

One of his fans’ signs read, “Jump Big Babb.”

He obliged.

“It was a big motivator having all these friends here,” said Babb, who arrived at KU as a walk-on and, four years later, placed fourth in the long jump at the NCAAs. “The shot put yesterday (also held downtown) was amazing.

This went great as well. It’ll only get better in years to come.”

The format with the shorter runway had jumps measured from their takeoff point with no fouls.

“Three of us couldn’t go off our full approaches. That’s why I was taking off six feet over the board every time because I couldn’t get a full approach in every time,” Babb

said. “The first one was good. I got scared almost landing out of the pit. It was fun.”

Two-time Olympian Walter Davis and Alain Bailey, who was ranked fourth in the world last year, did not attend the Relays for undisclosed reasons. Former KU jumper Eric Fattig, a six-time NCAA champion, placed fifth 1 with a jump of 23-11 ⁄2. ●

This, that: First-day leader Rebecca Neville of KU placed third in the heptathlon with 4,880 points.

Nebraska’s Rachel Butler won the event with 4,948. ... KU’s Josh Baden placed second in the 5,000 in a personal-best 14:40.73. ... KU’s Nick Canton was third in the decathlon with 5,771 points. Nebraska’s Teran Walford won with 6,586.

Kansas baseball two-hit by Longhorns

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

No runs, two hits, three errors and a major-league arm carving them up from the mound.

There really was no better way to sum up Kansas University’s 9-0 loss to Big 12-leading Texas on Thursday than the way KU skipper Ritch Price did in the postgame meeting with the media.

“Well, boys,” Price said, “that wasn’t much fun.”

No, it wasn’t. Credit for that goes to Texas righty Taylor Jungmann, who pitched eight innings and gave up just one hit en route to his ninth victory of the season.

“We were completely dominated at the plate, there’s no doubt about that,” Price said. “It was the first time all season that we haven’t been able to take the fastball away from the opposing pitcher. He pitched eight innings, and we only hit two balls hard.”

The Jayhawks barely touched

the rest of the pitches. Jungmann struck out nine, walked four and lowered his earned-run-average from 1.11 to a league-best 0.91. At 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, Jungmann is an imposing sight for hitters, especially considering that standing on top of the mound makes him appear taller than 7 feet. However, Thursday, Jungmann’s mammoth size wasn’t the only thing that contributed to his dominance.

“I think he did a really good job

“

of locating his fastball down, and We were he did a really good job of mixing in his breaking balls,” Price completely said. “When he did throw a fast- dominated ball, it looked like it was about at the plate, 94-95 (mph).”

CITY SOFTBALL SHOWDOWN

Lions rally past Firebirds, 4-2

LAWRENCE HIGH’S KASEY WAITE sends the ball over the left-field fence for a solo homer.

Lawrence beat Free State, 4-2, Thursday at LHS.

For about an inning, the emotions of Senior Night wore on Lawrence High’s softball team.

For the next six innings, though, the Lions calmed down and secured a 4-2 victory Thursday against Free State at the LHS softball stadium.

“I expected my seniors to shine, and they did,” LHS coach Reenie Stogsdill said.

The Lions (8-6) certainly started off shakily after the emotional Senior Night ceremony. In the top of the first, the Firebirds (4-6) tallied two runs on a single, a two-base error and a double by freshman Whitney Rothwell.

Senior first baseman Kasey Waite, who “kind of” cried after the ceremony, committed the error, underhand-tossing a ball past second baseman Mallory Reynolds covering first base.

The mistake helped her realize

that she needed to show leadership.

“I needed to get focused because I knew I wasn’t ready for that first play,” Waite said.

Waite earned her redemption in the second inning, when she took a pitch from Free State junior Mary Ann Smith over the left-field wall and into the trees surrounding the stadium. She said she wasn’t sure if the ball was out when she hit it.

Burks leaving Colorado for NBA BOULDER, COLO. (AP) — Shooting guard Alec Burks is leaving Colorado early for the NBA Draft after a record-setting sophomore season with the Buffaloes.

Burks was joined by Colorado coach Tad Boyle and his teammates at a news conference to announce his decision Thursday.

Burks said he wrestled for weeks

with the notion of skipping his final two years of eligibility and consulted with his family, coaches and others, including former Colorado star and current New York Knicks guard Chauncey Billups.

“It was tough,” said Burks, who plans to hire an agent in the coming days. “I was really deciding on coming back. I wasn’t ready to give up

the college experience. But I had to make the best decision for myself, and that’s what I feel like I did.

“The NBA is a dream of mine,” Burks said. “I feel like I’ve got to take advantage of it.”

Boyle said that Burks is ready to make the jump, and he fully supported his decision.

“Obviously, he’s proved he can

produce in one of the best leagues in the country and at the highest levels of college basketball,” Boyle said.

“You’re talking about a situation where Alec can put himself on a course to take care of himself and his family for years to come. It’s hard to begrudge anybody that opportunity, especially someone who has worked as hard as he’s worked.”

COMMENTARY

Na’s 1-hole score of 16 gives all golfers hope

By Randy Youngman The Orange County Register

Admit it, duffers, Kevin Na is your new hero.

It’s OK to say you enjoyed watching replays and video clips of Na hacking his way out of a thicket of trees, brush and vines en route to a 16 on the ninth hole during the opening round of last week’s Valero Texas Open.

If you’re scoring at home, it goes into the record books as a duodecuple-bogey — a formal way of saying he was 12 over on the hole, a challenging, 474-yard par-4 on the AT&T Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio.

The 16 is the worst score recorded on a par-4 since the PGA Tour began keeping records of hole-by-hole scores in 1983.

The worst score on any hole since then was John Daly’s 18 on the par-5 sixth hole at Bay Hill in 1998, when the real-life Roy “Tin Cup” McAvoy kept taking penalty drops until he cleared a water hazard on the seventh attempt.

There are other published reports of even bigger blow-up scores, including a reported 19 by Ray Ainsley on the par-4 16th hole at Cherry Hills during the 1938 U.S. Open and a 23 by Tommy Armour during the 1927 Shawnee Open. But a PGA Tour official said Wednesday that anything before 1983 is considered speculation.

“Someone may be aware of another (huge) number, but there is no way to verify it in our system,” tour official Dave Senko said by e-mail.

Many avid golfers of all skill levels likely took perverse pleasure in watching Na’s meltdown on No. 9, because we’ve all had disastrous holes we’d like to forget.

The difference, of course, is that Na, a former Diamond Bar (Calif.) High School star and current Rancho Cucamonga resident, still had a chance to shoot in the 70s. Think about that. He was a collective 4-under par on the other 17 holes.

Even with a 16 on his card, he shot an 80, matching Rory McIlroy’s final-round score at the Masters. And when Na rolled in his last putt, he thought he had shot a 79 because he initially had written down a 15 as his score on No. 9.

It was not until he reviewed videotape of his adventure in the forest that he changed his score and signed for a 16. No, there’s no other sport that would leave it to you to relive your suffering on videotape immediately after the competition to make certain you were properly punished for your poor play.

What made Na’s monumental meltdown even more riveting is that The Golf Channel had “miked” him during the round, so we could hear the exchanges with his caddie as things got progressively worse.

At one point, you could hear him asking his caddie, “How are we going to count all of the strokes? . . . Can’t keep track.”

What is the worst score you’ve ever had on a hole? (Mine was a 10 in a membermember tournament, so I wasn’t allowed to “pick up” and put the ever-popular “X” on the scorecard.

McRae played for the Royals from 1990 to 1994.

Royals bring up Coleman KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Kansas City Royals selected the contract of right-hander Louis Coleman on Thursday and optioned right-hander Kanekoa Texeira to Triple-A Omaha.

Coleman, 25, was Kansas City’s fifth selection in the 2009 draft. He made six appearances in Omaha, allowing three earned runs in seven innings with two saves.

Brewers’ Braun signs extension MILWAUKEE — The more Ryan Braun traveled to various cities during his time in the majors, the more he recognized just how much he loved Milwaukee.

On Thursday, he tried to hit a few.

The former “Two and a Half Men” star stopped by Georgia Tech’s baseball practice before his show in Atlanta. He took some ground balls, shagged flies and joined the team for batting practice, school spokesman Dean Buchan said.

Sheen hit about a half-dozen balls to the warning track at Russ Chandler Stadium, but never cleared the fence. Afterward, he posed for a picture with the team, then received treatment from Yellow Jackets trainer Walt Smith.

Stern doesn’t want NBA to end up like NFL NEW YORK — With time running out and business beginning to suffer, the NBA is eager to intensify talks with its union.

And Commissioner David Stern says the NFL’s problems show why.

Stern believes football’s labor situation, which he called a “mess,” was worsened by a lack of urgency to get a deal done well before its collective bargaining agreement expired, something he wants to avoid as his league tries to negotiate a new deal with its players.

“It seemed that at the end of the bargaining between the NFL and the players, one got the sense that in the last day or two they had closed the gap,” Stern said Thursday. “I don’t know if that’s accurate or not, but that’s what I read. And you wonder as an outsider whether it would have been a good thing to close that gap a few days earlier, a couple of weeks earlier so that you had the opportunity and the plan to do that.”

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Two recruits expected ————

Forwards Traylor, Murray to visit

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Frontcourt players Jamari Traylor and Aaric Murray will be on Kansas University’s campus this weekend as part of official basketball recruiting visits.

Traylor is a 6-foot-7, 230pound senior from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla.; Murray is a 6-10, 250-pound La Salle University sophomore who has announced plans to transfer from the Philadelphia school.

Traylor visited Oklahoma State last weekend. He has a list of KU, OSU, Indiana, St. John’s, Texas Tech, Tennessee, Memphis and Mississippi State.

Murray, according to CBSsports.com, has KU and West Virginia as his finalists. He’s also listed Oklahoma State, St. John’s, UConn, Rutgers, Marquette, Florida and DePaul in the past.

IMG director of basketball Andy Borman told the Bloomington Herald-Times that Traylor “is about as athletic as it gets. The immediate impact he will bring to a program is he will never be in a game that is above him. A lot of guys can come in and shoot the ball, but it takes a year to get their frame ready. Because of his size, his frame, his athleticism, his quickness, his leaping ability, his strength, all of his physical tools are prepared right now to compete at the highest level.

“He has to work on his offensive game, but as far as protecting the rim, rebounding and finishing, he’s ready to go.”

Traylor, who is not ranked in Rivals.com’s top 150, attended Chicago’s Julian High before heading to IMG this season.

“He’s all muscle, no body fat,” Borman said. “He plays a foot and a half above the rim.

He’s 6-7, but he plays more like he’s 6-10, just because he’s a quick leaper, it doesn’t take him long to get off the ground. … I think he’s more suited to play the five defensively than he is offensively. … Do I think that’s ideal for him? No, I think he’s a 4. But I played with Carlos Boozer at Duke. He played the 5 and he was no bigger than 6-7.”

Traylor said he has improved a lot since heading to IMG. “When I got down there, people really just called me a dunker. Now I think I’ve gotten much better on the offensive end,” Traylor told insidethehall.com. “I think I can dribble much better, I can shoot way better. Really I’ve just got my all-around game way better.”

Murray who played his high school ball at Philly’s Glen Mills High, averaged 15.2 points and 7.7 rebounds for La Salle last season.

He will have two years of collegiate eligibility remaining but must sit out next season according to NCAA transfer rules.

Murray ranked third in the Atlantic 10 in blocks (73, second in school history), was seventh in rebounding and 11th in scoring in 2010-11. He’s second all-time in career blocks at La Salle (143) after just two seasons. He just missed a triple-double, scoring 20 points, with 11 rebounds and a school-record nine blocks against Morgan State. He had seven doubledoubles on the season.

NBA scouts attended several of La Salle’s games to assess Murray’s game.

“I wish Aaric the very best for his future,” La Salle coach John Giannini said recently after granting Murray his request for a release. “I know Aaric always tried to do his best for La Salle, and we did all that we could to help him as a person and as a basketball player. We will continue to support Aaric in this process of finding another university.”

Murray had both good and bad moments last season, entering the coach’s doghouse on at least one occasion. In early January, Giannini benched Murray in what turned out to be an 87-68 loss to Richmond. “(He was benched) because of several things in the last game that I wasn’t very pleased with, and even before that,” Giannini told philadelphiasportsdaily.com. “I know Aaric, and I know he’s going to play very well from here on out.”

Free State baseball wins, 6-1

Softball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“Then I heard everybody yell,” Waite said. “And I was excited.”

The Lions added three runs in the third inning. Senior Kristen Bell’s double drove in freshman Marly Carmona, and Waite’s triple brought Bell home from second. Senior Lauren Massey singled through the left side to score Waite.

Massey’s most important contribution came on the mound, however. She finished with 11 strikeouts and had four 1-2-3 innings.

She said she was able to shake the Senior Night jitters with Bell’s help.

“You just have to realize that it’s just another game, and you just have to play your game,” Massey said.

Free State coach Lee Ice said his players competed better than they had all season long.

“We just have to finish better,” Ice said. “We had opportunities, and we just can’t get the key hit. They got the key hits tonight.”

Free State also committed four errors, giving the Lions more chances to come through with a big hit.

It was the last home game for Massey, Bell, Waite, Emily Peterson and Rachel Kelly.

Peterson left her mark on the game with a tremendous overhead catch in left field.

Kelly, who is unable to play this season, cheered on her team from the dugout.

“They are such a great example to the younger kids,” Stogsdill said. “That’s the biggest thing they’ve contributed to Lawrence High — just setting an example for our younger kids.”

KU officials laud TV deal

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Television revenue was one of the hot topics at Thursday’s fourth and final meeting of the fiscal year of the Kansas Athletics, Inc. Board of Directors.

No, the quarterly meetings are not being broadcast on national TV for a handsome fee. But, starting in 2012-13, all Big 12 Conference football games will be.

Speaking at his second meeting as Kansas University’s athletic director, Sheahon Zenger once again praised the work of Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe, who last week announced the completion of a 13-year football contract with FOX. The deal was estimated to be worth $90 million annually and, more importantly, answered a lot of questions about the future of the conference.

“I think it safely puts the Big 12 back in the pole position with the Big Ten and the SEC in terms of television revenue

dollars,” Zenger told the board. “The neat thing to watch was how the chancellors and presidents (at the 10 remaining Big 12 schools) were intimately involved.

And I think that speaks to the strength of the conference.”

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little also weighed in with her thoughts on the lucrative deal. Gray-Little admitted not to being the most knowledgeable sports mind in the room but also demonstrated with clarity that she understood exactly what the TV deal meant for KU. “The way to describe it is huge,” Gray-Little said. “It’s huge. And there is a sense of solidarity now among the 10 schools that was not there at the end of the summer.”

In addition to pegging the timing of the deal with FOX as “perfect,” Zenger updated the board members on some of what he’d been up to since the conclusion of the 2010-11 basketball season and the start of the spring sports schedule.

“During that time, you get more interaction with donors,” Zenger said. “And I’ve benefited from that.”

In other action at Thursday’s meeting: ■ The board debated changing the name of the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee to the Athletics Advisory Committee, or something of the like, better to reflect its actual purpose. “I think it’s very practical,” Zenger said of the new name. “And I think it states what it actually is. The only caveat would be if the people actually on it would feel it’s a demotion.”

■ Board chairman Jerry Bailey led a discussion of proposed revisions to the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of the board. Those voted upon were passed unanimously, and others were tabled for future discussion.

■ Finally, the board entered into a 20-minute executive session to discuss a property purchase.

Firebirds tumble LHS soccer in soccer to Vikings ripped

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Free State High soccer keeper Elena Auer likely had the most obstructed view on the field, but even she thought Margaux Gill’s shot was headed straight for the back of the net.

With only a few minutes remaining in the game and the Firebirds trailing by a goal, Gill blasted a shot that beat Shawnee Mission West keeper Jenny Allin on her short side.

But the shot didn’t find the net; it clanked off the inside of the left post and caromed harmlessly away.

It was the last good look the Firebirds would get, leaving them just short in a 2-1 defeat to SMW on a cold, rainy Thursday night at FSHS. “I was jumping, ready to cheer for her,” Auer said. “But then it didn’t happen.”

“We thought the game was going to overtime,” FSHS coach Kelly Barah said. “It’s a post here, and a missed shot there, and maybe it’s a different story right now.”

There weren’t many heads hung on the Firebird side following the close setback to the

Vikings (8-1-1), perennially one of the top teams in Class 6A. “We knew we had to play our A-game, and today we did that,” Barah said. “Maybe it was an A-minus, who knows, but we definitely showed ourselves that we can hang with the best out there.”

FSHS (5-3) fought SMW to a standstill in a slow-paced first half, which was marked by solid defense on the back end and an excellent diving save by Auer, one of her eight stops on the night.

Junior Kylee Loneker put the Firebirds ahead with a nifty shot.

Five minutes into the second half and from about 40 yards out, Loneker bombed a free kick high into the air and arced it just above Allin’s fingertips and into the net.

“Nothing had been going in,” Loneker said. “The worst thing that could have happened is it could have gone out of bounds. I figured I might as well take it.”

SMW eventually netted the go-ahead goal — a strike by Sydney Miramontez with five minutes left — and held on after surviving Gill’s near equalizer.

After a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Shawnee Mission Northwest, Lawrence High’s girls soccer team sat in a circle near the shut-down scoreboard.

The Lions were stretching and cooling down, but they were also discussing how they can warm up for games more effectively.

“I gotta get these girls ready to play,” LHS coach Joe Nemzer said. “I didn’t do my job today, and it cost us. You gotta warm up the way you play.”

Despite the loss, Nemzer said he felt it could be a turnaround-the-season-type game for the Lions (2-7).

“I think we all knew that team was not five goals better than us.,” Nemzer said. “But you let things happen, you take time off, you aren’t there 100 percent mentally, and it’s going to bite you.”

KANSAS CITY, MO. — As baseball games go, this was a dandy.

There was outstanding pitching, great defense and clutch hitting — especially Melky Cabrera’s walkoff single in the ninth that lifted Kansas City past Cleveland, 32.

Cabrera rifled a basesloaded, two-run base hit into left field with one out off closer Chris Perez, who had been 6-for-6 in save opportunities and unscored-upon for the season.

The fourth walkoff victory of the year gave the secondplace Royals a 2-2 split of the four-game series with the ALCentral leading Indians.

“That was as great a game as was played in baseball today,” said Royals manager Ned Yost. “Both teams played great baseball.”

Perez (0-1) started the ninth and got in immediate trouble when Kila Ka’aihue doubled leading off.

Pinch runner Mike Aviles went to third when Mitch Maier hit a pinch single. Alcides Escobar grounded to third baseman Jack Hannahan, who threw out Aviles at home for the first out.

Chris Getz walked, loading the bases and Cabrera delivered.

It was the fourth walkoff and the fifth time the Royals have won in their final at-bat.

“This team does not give up. It just does not give up,” said Royals starter Sean O’Sullivan, who went six innings as a light-to-moderate mist dampened everything and everybody in the park.

“The mound got kind of slippery after a while, but it was OK.” Rookie Aaron Crow (2-0) pitched one inning. Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin pitched seven strong innings while going for his fourth victory in four decisions. Grady Sizemore had three hits and an RBI for the Indians, who will host the Royals for three games next week.

“It was a well played series by both clubs,” Cleveland manager Manny Acta said.

“You’ve got to give credit to those guys. They came against our bullpen yesterday and today again. They played very good defense. It was very wet out there. It never stopped.”

Tomlin gave up one run on five hits, with a walk and four strikeouts. He lowered his ERA from 2.75 to 2.33.

“Tomlin was dynamic.

O’Sullivan was very, very good,” said Yost. “Tomlin was dynamic with his stuff.

Changing speeds, had a great

curveball, was painting the corners, kept the ball down.

He was as good as you’re going to see. I was very impressed with his outing.”

Tony Sipp came out of the bullpen after Tomlin walked Getz leading off the eighth. He stole second and third, raising the Royals’ league-leading total to 26 stolen bases. When Sipp walked Alex Gordon with two out and Vinnie Pestano relieved, Jeff Francoeur grounded an RBI single up the middle that shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera stopped from going through, possibly preventing the tying run from scoring.

Cabrera also saved a run for the Royals when he threw out Carlos Santana at the plate in the Cleveland eighth.

The Indians scored both runs off O’Sullivan in the fifth.

Matt LaPorta singled leading off and Hannahan walked and both were sacrificed up a base before Sizemore lifted a bloop RBI single that dropped at Cabrera’s shoes in shallow center.

After O’Sullivan walked Cabrera, loading the bases, Shin-Soo Choo hit a sinking liner to left field. Alex Gordon scooped the ball off the grass and jumped to his feet and threw out Sizemore trying for third as Hannahan scored the second run.

Perez said it was not just the law of averages that caught up with him.

“Bad pitches,” he said.

“There’s no such thing as law of averages. I fell behind Ka’aihue and he put a pretty good swing on it. I just left it out over the plate. Maier hit a first-pitch fastball. I couldn’t bounce a slider to Cabrera with the bases loaded.”

O’Sullivan went six-plus innings and was charged with two runs on f ive hits. He walked three and struck out six, tying his career high.

Reds 7, Diamondbacks 4 CINCINNATI — Mike Leake got razzed by a few fans during his first appearance since a shoplifting arrest, but ignored the nasty signs and gave Cincinnati a much-needed boost.

Leake (3-0) led the Reds to only their second win in eight games. The defending NL Central champs had fallen to .500 for the first time since May 8, and desperately needed a good showing by Leake, who allowed three runs and fanned six in his longest outing of the season.

Phillies 3, Padres 0 S AN D I E G O — Roy Oswalt and three relievers pitched a combined four-hitter, and Philadelphia won against San Diego.

Ben Francisco and Brian Schneider homered for the Phillies, who’ve won eight straight and 12 of 13 at Petco Park dating to the 2008 season.

Oswalt (3-0) allowed only one hit in six innings, Chris Denorfia’s opposite-field single to right with two outs in the fifth. Oswalt allowed only two other base-runners, on walks, while striking out seven. The only Padres baserunner to reach second against Oswalt was Jason Bartlett, who drew a leadoff walk in the first and then stole second.

Wolves’ Love honored MINNEAPOLIS (AP ) — Kevin Love has the NBA’s Most Improved Player award. Now the challenge is to help his Minnesota Timberwolves become next season’s most improved team.

There’s nowhere to go but up for the Wolves, whose 17-65 record was the worst in the league. That didn’t keep Love from making the All-Star team and adding to his trophy collection with the MIP award on Thursday.

“Kevin deserves an enormous amount of credit, not only for what he accomplished on the court but for the kind of dedication and the fortitude he exhibited a year ago today all the way through last summer,” said David Kahn, the team’s basketball boss.

Love was a runaway winner, getting 66 of a possible 116 first-place votes and 400 points from a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters who cover the NBA. LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers was second with 157 points.

Love averaged 20.2 points and led the league with 15.2 rebounds per game this season, posting a double-double in 53 consecutive games for the longest such streak since Elvin Hayes in 1973-74. Mostly a sixth man the season before, Love established career highs in almost every statistical category.

Kahn said he “fully” anticipates Love being with the Wolves “for a number of years to come.”

“I do think he wants to be here,” Kahn said. “I think we both feel the same way: We want to start winning, and we’re very impatient about that.”

Bulls 88, Pacers 84 INDIANAPOLIS — Derrick Rose scored 23 points, including the go-ahead layup with 17.8 seconds left, to help Chicago take a 3-0 lead in the firstround series.

Rose’s late basket was his only field goal in the second half. He made just four of 18 shots as he was blanketed, and at times pummeled, by Indiana’s Paul George and Dahntay Jones. He made up for it by making 13 of 15 free throws.

Rose averaged 37.5 points in the first two games of the series.

Luol Deng had 21 points, and Kyle Korver added 12 for the Bulls.

Indiana’s Danny Granger had a chance to win it at the end, but he missed a threepointer in the closing seconds. He led the Pacers with 21 points.

Rose’s layup with 17.8 seconds remaining gave the Bulls

an 86-84 lead. The Pacers went for the win, but Granger’s three-pointer was off, and Chicago’s Ronnie Brewer rebounded. He was fouled, then made two free throws with 1.1 seconds left.

Chris Bosh scored 19 points for the Heat, who rallied from an early 10-point deficit to move within one win of a sweep of the Eastern Conference series. Game 4 is Sunday in Philadelphia.

Elton Brand had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the 76ers.

Wade delivered with a string of big baskets — he was 10-of-19 from the field overall — in the third and fourth quarters that spurred the Heat. He drew a foul on a spin move against Jrue Holiday and hit two free throws with 51.6 seconds left that about clinched the game.

Wade was 12-for-12 from the free throw line.

Freshmen head to Relays ————

Southwest ninth-graders to debut today

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Had the rules of a year ago stayed in place, jumper/hurdler Alexa Harmon-Thomas and middle-distance runners Stan Skwarlo and Bailey Sullivan would be competing for Southwest Junior High in a rescheduled meet at Topeka Seaman Middle School.

Now that freshmen are eligible at Lawrence’s two high schools, the talented trio of Free State track-and-field athletes will compete today in the Kansas Relays, weather permitting.

“When they go to the state meet down the road, they already will have experienced what it’s like to compete in a high-pressure, quality meet,” Firebirds coach Steve Heffernan said.

Harmon-Thomas has a chance to develop into Lawrence’s next great athlete.

In her first high school meet, a triangular at Lawrence High

on March 30, HarmonThomas set school records in the 100-meter hurdles, 300meter hurdles and long jump.

Five days later, she scored two goals in a victory for the Firebirds soccer team. HarmonThomas is scheduled to compete in both hurdles races, the long jump and the high jump.

Running in high-pressure meets is nothing new for Free State middle/long-distance runner Kain Anderson, a junior. If Anderson puts forth his best effort in a preliminary heat, he has a realistic shot of qualifying for the adidas Jim Ryun Dream Mile against a pair of runners with personalbests faster than 4:15.

“Kain will be the last one in or first one out, so hopefully with a little luck he’ll make it to the (Saturday) final,” Heffernan said.

Lawrence High track coach Jack Hood expressed his eagerness to see how hardworking veteran competitors will fare in the meet. He cited

girls Emily Davidson and Alexis Scheibler and boys Trent Edwards, Austin Flory, Chris Gaston and Nicholas Shump as athletes who “have worked their tails off for three or four years.”

Lions shot putter Blake Hocking, a threat to break Olympic gold-medalist Bill Nieder’s school record, is seeded first in the event, and Flory and Steven Hill are highly seeded in the triple jump.

Senior LHS sprinter/hurdler TaMiya Green qualified for four events. Hood said that it was during a 300-meter hurdles race when Green set her personal record by a half second and lost to HarmonThomas that he fully appreciated how special an athlete has joined the high school ranks in Lawrence.

“I was watching that thinking, ‘TaMiya’s running hard.

What’s wrong?’ ’’ Hood said.

He looked at his stop watch and realized everything was right.

Jayhawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

broke through when a sacrifice fly from UT outfielder Mark Payton drove in Jacob Felts for the game’s first run.

A perfect throw from KU right fielder Casey Lytle put catcher James Stanfield in position to tag Felts out, but Felts and Stanfield collided at the plate, and the ball popped out of Stanfield’s glove. Price went out to argue the collision, which is an automatic out in college baseball, but Taylor said the umpire told Price that Felts beat the ball home.

KU escaped the fifth with a one-run deficit but gave up six runs in the sixth when Taylor ran out of gas and a couple of errors added to the Jayhawks’ demise.

“I was really excited when I found out I was starting,” Taylor said. “I was really anxious. I just wanted the game to get here. I was obviously happy with the f irst four innings.”

The Jayhawks (19-19 overall and 8-8 in Big 12 play) and sixth-ranked Longhorns (299, 12-4) will continue the series at 6 tonight.

Building trust after cheating requires transparency Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

heart broken before by someone who was painfully honest about not liking him back. He is often depressed because he doesn’t have a girlfriend.

I have tried to be a good friend to him, but that’s not enough, and now I think it might be making things worse.

Patrick texts me and tries to contact me every chance he gets. I don’t want to hurt him, but I know it’s inevitable. How do I go about this in the kindest way possible? — Feel Guilty

Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Louis C.K. and Ricky Gervais sit down to discuss ideas about comedy. If that doesn’t sound all that funny to you, you’re only half right.

The phrase “inside baseball” came frequently to mind while watching “Talking Funny” (8 p.m., HBO).

Watching comedians discuss comedy is a little like watching men talk about their feelings. It sounds like a good idea, but is it all that entertaining?

The subjects discussed range from the technical to the personal. Who was the first funny kid you ever met? When is a good time to delete material from your act? Do audiences want to see you deliver a wellknown routine? Or act as sounding boards for new jokes?

Not surprisingly, Gervais and Louis C.K. tend to be the most cerebral and even neurotic about their relationships to jokes.

Merely making an audience laugh is too easy, they all agree.

Gervais eagerly appears for encores after a nanosecond wait. Rock doesn’t do encores at all. This all gets a little selfinvolved, and at times the boys affect a haughty attitude that undercuts their every-guy appeal.

Gervais worries aloud that anyone can be funny and that they’ll all be replaced. Louis C.K. dismisses that notion. He compares professional comedians to members of the National Football League, and he assures us that they do not lose sleep when casual fans play touch football in their backyards.

To keep the sports metaphors rolling, “Talking Funny” is a little like listening to a NASCAR racer discussing how many times he changes his oil. That’s got to be fascinating to somebody. ● Next to amnesias, bachelor parties, high-school reunions, bachelor auctions and holiday episodes, the notion of a “girls’ night out” has become one of scripted television’s more hackneyed cliches.

And reality television’s, too. Every night on the “Real Housewives” franchise is a “girls’ night out.” Those Bravo harridans are simply too dim, grim and self-loathing to stay in. What would they do all by themselves? Read a book? Think?

Happily, tonight’s “Girls’ Night Out: Superstar Women of Country” (8 p.m., CBS) doesn’t pretend to be some contrived evening away from the husbands over watered-down drinks at a Ruby Tuesday.

It’s a tribute show, cramming in the career highlights of the Judds, Loretta Lynn, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Jennifer Nettles, Reba and Carrie Underwood. ● Flying supplies to far-flung frozen reaches of Canada’s Northwest is hard enough. But the “stars” of the 13-episode series “Ice Pilots” (9 p.m., National Geographic) do it in 70-year-old World War IIera airplanes. Gee, that sounds reasonable.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Casey meets an old flame while on assignment in China on “CHAOS” (7 p.m., CBS). ● East Dillon’s unexpectedly strong opening performance raises eyebrows on “Friday Night Lights” (7 p.m., NBC). ● Time for chaos on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox). ● A tough guy and a naturalist help folks in a pinch endure in the wild on “Dual Survivor” (8 p.m., Discovery). ● Barbara Walters interviews Elton John and David Furnish on “20/20” (9 p.m., ABC).

Dear Annie: I’ve known “Patrick” since my last year of high school. He is the funniest guy you’ll ever meet, but he has always been a friend to me and nothing more.

For Friday, April 22: This year, you let go of many long-cherished but irrelevant ideas. You will opt for only those that have a logical basis, removing many filters and rigidity. If you are single, meeting people comes easily. If you are attached, contain your ego, and a sense of direction and health will emanate from your relationship, making all parties happy. Capricorn helps you see past the obvious.

Dear Annie: Several weeks ago, something happened that keeps bugging me. My husband and I were riding in his car when I noticed a book he had been reading on the front floorboard. I picked it up and asked how he liked it. He said it was interesting and he was almost finished. I thought I might want to read it, too, so I flipped to the spot where he had marked his progress with a large card in an envelope. To my surprise, the envelope had his name written on it in a feminine hand with a fancy flourish. I asked what it was, and he said it was just his bookmark.

I am ashamed to say that an hour later I went back to the car to check it out, but the card and envelope had been removed and a blank piece of paper was in their place.

My husband and I have had marital problems based on his indiscretion with other women. I thought we had moved beyond that awful time, but now I am afraid he is again showing signs of fooling around. I hesitate to ask him about the card again. How can I regain confidence in our relationship and rid myself of the worry that is bugging me?

I hate feeling like a mistrusting green-eyed monster. — Barb
