Arrest affidavits remain sealed

The Douglas County District Attorney’s Office has dismissed the rape charges against two men, both 21 and one a Kansas University student, which stemmed from two women’s allegations that they were sexually assaulted at Kansas University’s Hashinger Douglas County District Attorney residence hall.

The women alleged Charles Branson they were raped between said there was 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Sept. insufficient 28, KU police spokesman evidence to go Capt. James Anguiano to trial. said in October.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said he filed to dismiss the case on Thursday, after further investigation into the case led his office to determine that there “was no longer sufficient evidence” for the cases to proceed to trial.

Kansas towns fight housing shortage amid uphill battle to boost population, vitality Much of the housing in rural Kansas is aged, small and outdated and would take Hutchinson — Wanted: People.

The theme is the same across much extensive work to modernize.

of the rural Midwest. While the Great Plains has more than doubled in population since 1950, outside the metro areas in rural counties, population is waning.

Young people leave. Groceries close. Schools and hospitals shutter, as well.

But there is resilience in rural Kan-

sas as creative efforts emerge to tackle depopulation and vitality. Yet, as many county officials across western Kansas look for ways to grow and survive, even if they would attract people, they are having a hard time finding a place to put them.

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget director told a legislative committee Friday that the proposed cuts in contributions to the state’s pension system are only temporary and will not be part of Brownback’s budget proposal for Sullivan the next two fiscal years.

“That was a short-term proposal that we announced last week that will not be carried forward,” Shawn Sullivan told the Joint Committee on Pensions, Investments and Benefits.

There was evidence at that time that suggested the crime of rape had occurred,” Branson said.

“The investigation continued after the arrest and included interviewing multiple individuals with knowledge of the parties’ activities that night and review of cellphone and medical records.”

Neither Branson, nor the men’s attorneys, Tom Erker and John Kerns, would elaborate on what the additional evidence showed. To date, no law enforcement or judicial officials have released details as to why the men were arrested in the first place.

On Friday, Douglas County District Court Judge Kay Huff was informed of the dismissal shortly before she was set to hear arguments on the Journal-World’s motions seeking the unsealing of affidavits leading to the men’s arrests.

At that hearing, Huff ruled that the affidavits should remain sealed because the case had been dismissed.

The Journal-World’s attorney, Max Kautsch, argued at the hearing Friday that the affidavits should still be released

KPERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

the committee to study further changes to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, or KPERS, such as issuing as much as $1.5 billion in pension obligation bonds to finance its unfunded liability, or even handing the system over to a private company.

Last week, Brownback announced a plan to cut the state’s contributions by $40.7 million over the next six months. The move was part of a $280 million package of “allotments” needed to balance the current fiscal year’s budget.

Most of the allotments Brownback announced need to be approved by the Legislature when it convenes in January for the start of the 2015 session.

The reduction in KPERS contributions ignited sharp criticism from public school teachers and state employees who said it violated a compromise made in 2012 when the Legislature passed sweeping changes to the pension plan. Part of that package involved

one of the largest employers for rural counties. Stafford County has three school districts, including Macksville. Just a few years ago, the Macksville superintendent told Dunn that he hired five new employees but none of them could live in the county because they couldn’t find a place to buy or rent. Meanwhile, she added, a new Stafford principal a few years ago struck out in finding a rental and ended up renting an apartment in the assisted living section of a local nursing home.

“You need more enrollment in schools, but housing is an impediment to creating those families,” she said.

Dunn, however, whose family farms in the county, is working to move Stafford County forward. She and community leaders

are trying to solve the county’s housing issues, one home at a time.

On this fall day she stood on the dirt lawn of a new duplex in Macksville — the first of a handful of projects Stafford County Economic Development has potentially planned.

For the modern family searching for an affordable, up-to-date rental property, it couldn’t be more perfect.

This duplex, with an open floor plan upstairs, includes 2,080 square-feet of finished living space per unit.

There are three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and a full, finished basement. It also has energy-efficient features, such as high efficiency windows and an on-demand water heater.

Right after completion this fall, there already was one taker and now Dunn is searching for one more family willing to pay $700 a month.

“Some of my parame-

in accordance with a Kansas law enacted July 1 allowing for judges to redact, release or seal arrest affidavits after a member of the public makes a request.

“The statute continues to be applicable. Now, any concerns about a fair trial are void.”

Kautsch s a i d .

“There is nothing in the statute that says that if a case is dism i s s e d , Huff affidavits should not be released.”

Huff had originally sealed on Oct. 23 the affidavits of the two men after their attorneys and Assistant Douglas County District Attorney Amy McGowan requested they be sealed.

The defense attorneys argued then that the information would be inflammatory and could hurt the outcome of a trial.

“It is not going to do anybody any good to have articles written,” Kerns said. “I don’t see the need for any affidavit to be released to anybody.”

Kautsch on Friday questioned the timing of the case’s dismissal, falling just before the affidavit was subject to possible release.

“If the state can avoid its disclosure of affi-

davits by dismissing charges,” Kautsch said, “that is absolutely counter to the law’s legislative intent.”

Branson said the timing of the dismissal and the affidavit hearing date are unrelated.

Branson said his office had intended to redact and release the affidavit after the investigation into the case was finished.

“Our office would have proposed redactions under the statute once the investigation was completed or a preliminary hearing held,” Branson said. “The defense objected to its production in its entirety at any time.”

Defense attorney Erker said in an interview Friday that “the system worked.”

“The District Attorney’s Office is charged with following up with allegations. My job is to really investigate and share some of our thoughts with the D.A.,” Erker said. “Their office is willing to sit down and work toward justice.”

Kautsch said during an interview Friday that the affidavit should be released to hold the district attorney’s office accountable for its actions in the case.

“Now the public has no opportunity to view why the D.A. filed those charges and know why they were dismissed,”

Kautsch said.

As of Friday, the KU student was still enrolled at the university for the fall semester, which ends Friday, KU spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said.

He is not enrolled for the spring semester, she said.

The law requires universities to conduct their own investigations into reported sexual assaults, but Barcomb-Peterson said KU cannot comment whether the university’s investigation into the incident has ended.

The second man, who was a student at Johnson County Community College at the time of the allegations, is “no longer a student” at the college, JCCC Vice President of Student Success and Engagement Dennis Day said.

Day said the college did not conduct an investigation because the incident was not alleged to have occurred at JCCC and neither alleged victim was a JCCC student.

The KU student spent eight days in jail before posting a $50,000 bond on Oct. 14. The JCCC student spent nine days in jail before posting a bond of the same amount.

employees increasing their own contribution rates in order to shore up the financially troubled pension fund.

“The volume of emails that I have received from constituents and other people who are part of the KPERS system is astronomical in opposition to what the governor has proposed to do here,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, who serves on the joint committee and works as a teacher in the Topeka school district.

KPERS manages the retirement fund for slightly more than 222,000 current and retired employees of state and local governments and the state’s 286 public school districts. It currently has $16.1 billion in assets, which is only 60 percent of what is actually needed to fund all the retirement obligations the system has already accrued.

That gap between assets and obligations is called an unfunded actuarial liability, and it’s currently estimated at about $9.8 billion.

Hensley said the governor’s allotment cut in its KPERS contributions was unprecedented, but Sullivan disagreed, arguing

that the Legislature has routinely underfunded the pension system for years in order to control state spending and balance the budget.

But Sullivan urged the committee to study further changes to KPERS in order to control future costs and reduce the state’s liability, including outsourcing the liability of the plan to a private company through a process called “annuitization,” which he said is a growing trend in the private sector.

“I know there have been a number of companies like GM, Verizon and others that have annuitized their system and outsourced the risk to an annuity system over the last couple of years, and many more private-sector plans are doing that,” Sullivan said. “However, I’m not sure of any public sector or state pension systems that have done that.”

Under that plan, a private company would assume the liability of paying out benefits in exchange for guaranteed monthly payments from the state.

Secretary of Administration Jim Clark said he was part of such a pro-

cess when he worked as an officer at Westar Inc., the Topeka-based electric company formed in 1992 through the merger of Kansas Gas and Electric and Kansas Power and Light.

“I’m not suggesting annuitization is the right thing for the state,” Clark said. “I really think the study should be as broad as we can make it in order to take in all of the items that affect our costs.”

Committee chairman Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, said he opposed privatizing the pension system but that he is willing to look at different proposals.

“The joint committee is open to allowing anyone with ideas on how to improve the system for the benefit of the state, and most importantly for the benefit of KPERS retirees, to bring those proposals to us,” he said.

But Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, the ranking minority member on the panel, said the Legislature looked at annuitization when a study commission developed the reform package adopted in 2012.

“I think what we came up with in 2012 was really the perfect compromise,

Stafford County’s situation isn’t unique, as counties across Kansas look for ways to address rural housing issues.

According to a recent Wichita State University rural housing study, 91 percent of economic development directors who responded said rural housing issues hindered the local labor market.

Also, 74 percent of respondents indicated the availability of housing was affecting the hiring decisions of local employers while 71 percent indicated the result was fewer workers being hired due to the local housing situation.

one that works,” she said.

“It works for retirees. It also works for the state and really diminishes the risk. So I don’t see any need to really even consider going towards privatization with this particular plan.”

That 2012 reform package established a new kind of retirement benefit for employees hired after Jan. 1, 2015, known as a “cash balance plan,” a kind of individual retirement account where employees are guaranteed a minimum rate of return on their investments, and their own benefits are determined by how much money is in their plan when they retire.

SATURDAY COLUMN

KU might tap unrestricted funds to save top faculty

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

It’s normal for a good university to lose faculty members — some good and some not so good — on an annual basis. This certainly is the case at Kansas University. This being the situation, how much effort is KU making to hold on to the good ones?

In some cases, departures serve a good purpose by providing an opportunity to fill a vacancy with a better qualified individual.

In these situations, senior administrators or deans do not make much of an effort to discourage the individual from leaving Mount Oread to accept an offer from another school.

On the other hand, there are cases where losing a talented, internationally known teacher or researcher is a serious blow to the university, as well as to the state. In such cases, university officials say all the right things in trying to dissuade the person from leaving but, in hindsight, have these efforts been as

intense and effective as possible?

These special researchers and teachers have helped develop and expand the excellence of their respective fields of study. They have attracted millions of dollars in grants and, if they should leave, they will be taking a number of post-doc researchers with them to their new universities. Such cases are a major loss for KU. Also, there’s the cost of replacing the lost all-star.

Among those who will be leaving Mount Oread at the end of this semester or this school year is Jeff Aube, a distinguished professor in medicinal chemistry. He is a giant in his field, recognized by the most prestigious national and international academies. He came to KU in 1986.

Over the years, Aube has received offers from many of the nation’s most outstanding research universities, but he rejected these attractive offers to remain at KU. He has been part of a highly skilled and brilliant team of research-

ers and has had excellent equipment to further his research efforts. He also has a deep sense of loyalty to the university.

However, highly attractive recruiting efforts have continued. Last year, University of Minnesota officials made a run, a very hard run, at Aube, but in the end, he decided to remain at KU. At that time, KU officials made keeping Aube a high priority and enlisted the aid of many individuals to find added fiscal support for Aube as well as assure him that KU was committed to sustaining the increased funding he thought was essential to elevate his efforts.

He knew of these efforts and, even though the additional funding did not materialize, he elected to remain here in Lawrence.

Now, a year later, Aube has decided to say “yes” to a highly attractive of-

fer from the University of North Carolina. Again, KU could not come up with additional funding for Aube and his research efforts.

It is a huge loss for the university in many, many ways. It cannot be overstated.

COMMENTARY What’s hard to understand is a news story earlier this week reporting that KU Endowment Association officials are focusing their attention and efforts on how to attract top students and faculty now that the original capital campaign goal of $1.2 billion has been reached. The fiscal campaign will continue and these additional funds, or a good share of those funds, will be earmarked for student scholarships and faculty fellowships.

What about funds

to keep KU’s most talented faculty members?

When officials were saying it was critical to find the relatively small amount of money needed to keep Aube at KU, why couldn’t KU Endowment come up with the money?

Granted, a high percentage of contributions made to KUEA in a capital campaign are designated for specific purposes. However, there are a sizable number of dollars in an unrestricted category that can be spent at the chancellor’s discretion.

Did those seeking money for Aube ask KUEA officials for help? Did they ask the chancellor’s office? They asked the governor, and they supposedly made their case to the Kansas Board of Regents, legislators and some private donors when trying to keep Aube from moving to Minneapolis.

Why not tap the association’s unrestricted fund?

If the need was so serious relative to Aube’s possible move to UNC — and it was — there should have been some way to keep Aube in his KU research facilities. Obviously, KUEA officials don’t want to be tapped for extra money every time there is some “emergency,” but, at the same time, there should be some way to address situations like the Aube matter.

The KU Endowment Association, an entirely separate, independent organization, enjoys a magnificent record of supporting and enhancing the university through the generosity of alumni and friends.

It is unfortunate a very small fraction of the millions, now billions, of dollars raised in the current capital campaign could not have been allocated to keep a superior faculty member on Mount Oread.

Food stamp dollar-matching program to expand

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

A pilot program that doubled the spending power of food stamp recipients at Lawrence farmers’ markets had a successful debut and will expand to more markets next year, organizers said this week.

At its Wednesday meeting, the Douglas County Commission heard a report from Eileen Horn, the sustainability coordinator for the county and the city of Lawrence, on Market Match’s pilot program, which ran from June to December.

The program essentially doubled the value of food stamp dollars spent at the Lawrence Farm-

stood waiting for me to answer. After about a minute, the mystery man walked around my apartment, surveying my windows.

I walked to my bathroom window, keeping track of him through the slits in my blinds. I pulled back the curtain and — for a moment — made eye contact with him. My stomach dropped, and I slid to the floor in fear.

Crouched against the wall, I reached for my cell phone and called my apartment manager to ask if a maintenance man needed something in my apartment.

“No,” the manager said. “You need to call the police.”

I felt torn. It’s cer-

ers’ Market and Cottin’s Hardware Farmers Market to make healthy and locally produced food more accessible to lowincome individuals.

For example, if an individual receiving food stamps — officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — made a $20 purchase at one of those farmers’ markets, only half of the cost came out of the SNAP account.

Market Match covered the other half.

The program matches food stamp dollars up to $25.

Horn said approximately 120 people took advantage of the program at least once, spending an average of $17.88 per shopping trip and affect-

tainly not a crime to ring a stranger’s doorbell or look at a window, but my instincts said something was wrong. I called dispatch and reported the incident, then turned on my scanner to listen as officers were sent to my address.

The man, who police soon located, turned out to be a known offender with a criminal history dotted with burglaries, a responding officer told me. Police let the man go, but not without a “do not return” warning.

He never committed a crime, the officer said, though he suspected the man was assessing whether my apartment was “safe” to burgle.

Empty homes equal easier burglaries, so burglars look for signs of vacancy, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said. As the holidays approach and residents and students leave town, more home

ing 100 vendors. Horn estimated all the shopping activity generated an economic impact of about $32,000.

Horn said 83 percent of vendors surveyed said they saw an increase of SNAP customers, while 100 percent said the Market Match program positively affected their business. She said 62 percent of participants indicated their consumption of

fruit and vegetables increased as a result of the program.

The pilot program was funded primarily by the city of Lawrence and Douglas County, at $10,600 apiece, with another $3,800 from LiveWell Lawrence, which first pitched the idea of Market Match.

In my case, the officer said I was a good target because I had three newspapers on my porch (I know, I know, the irony!) and an old flyer stuck to my door, inaccurately suggesting that my home was unoccupied.

In reality, I’d just been lazy.

I’m telling my story because my scare could have been prevented.

It also could have gone much worse. Here’s hoping readers will take a little extra caution this holiday season and take McKinley’s advice below.

“We would love to have people call so we can investigate things people find suspicious rather than have something happen,” McKinley said. l Don’t open the door to strangers. It’s easy to think the best of others, but be skeptical of strangers at your home. l Be careful when not answering a door, McKinley said, as that can be another suggestion that you are not home.

Try flipping on a light or a television set to signal that you’re there — you’re just not answering. l Consider adopting a dog. While Mirabelle is all of about 25 pounds and half-toothless, her barking told the man that I had at least not left town, McKinley said.

“Dogs are good, even if it’s not a dog that’s going to shred someone,”

Horn said the plan is for Market Match to expand to other farmers’ markets in Lawrence, Eudora and Baldwin City.

In 2015, the program will run from April through December, “the whole market season,” Horn said. She said the program hopes to work with the LawrenceDouglas County Housing Authority and Just Food, the Douglas County food bank, to increase awareness of the project.

“We look forward to coming back with even more impressive numbers next year,” Horn said.

McKinley said. “Someone would assume a person wouldn’t leave their dog at home on a long trip.”

adopt-a-pet Dana

How many times have you heard “nice guys finish last”? Dana isn’t a guy, but she is nice and for some reason she is still waiting for the right person to help her finish her stay with us.

She is a beautiful 3 year old Domestic Short Hair and has blue white and cream diluted calico markings. She won’t mind spending her day alone while you are at work or school. She’ll be happy to snuggle later.

Martha

Martha may be considered a senior at 7 years, but she is far from needing a place to retire.

She is a Shepherd mix and has a soft white and black coat. She still has lots of giddy up for a gal her age and would be a great dog for someone who loves outdoor activities such as camping and hiking.

She qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors program and for the half price special through January 4th.

turkey

Are you looking for a furry feline to hang out with? Turkey has been looking for you too. He loves to hang with his friends in Cat Topia and really enjoys it when we have visitors. He may not be the first one to greet you, but he knows how to chill better than anyone. He is the 2 year old Domestic Short Hair mix with black brown tiger markings that you’ll see lounging on the shelf.

ivy

Ivy loves to roll over and show off her tummy. She is a lovable 3 month old American Pit Bull Terrier mix and has a soft black brown brindle coat. She is a pretty puppy with ample amounts of love and kisses to share. She weighs about 23 lbs. and shouldn’t get too much bigger than medium sized.

Picture her in a holiday sweater, posing with the rest of the family. Too cute not to.

MiranDa

Miranda has been here since September and has been working very hard at being a good girl. She still has some work to do on her manners, but she is willing to learn.

Especially if you have yummy treats. She is a 5 year old Labrador Retriever mix with a brown and white coat and weighs in around 60 lbs. She knows her new family is out there somewhere and is waiting excitedly to meet you.

haM

With his dashing good looks and his big yellow eyes, Ham will sweep you off your feet in the wink of an eye. He has an independent streak, but can turn on the charm when given a chance. He is a 2 year old Domestic Long Hair with a sleek all black coat. Even though he is in our free roaming cat room, he would prefer to be the only cat in the house.

Jules

Jules is just an all around easy going guy. We think he looks rather dapper in his holiday bow. He is one cute little (46 lb.) Pit Bull. Only 11 months old and eager to please, he would love to make your acquaintance. He has a short red and white coat and shouldn’t get much bigger. He has a job here, helping with the behavior tests with the new dogs. Come meet this sweet boy today.

Maurice

No matter what we did, Maurice always had his tongue out in all the photos. Guess he prefers the natural look. He is a 6 year old Labrador Retriever mix with an all black coat and weighs in around 51 lbs. If you only have room for one dog, he would be happy to be the one.

He is an active guy, so a good walking buddy would be a good fit for him.

Gov. fills spots on county board Topeka (ap) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has named a banker and small-business owner to two, newly created seats on the Saline County Commission.

Brownback on Thursday announced the appointments of Luci Larson and David Smith to the north-central Kansas county’s county board.

Both are from Salina and take office Jan. 12.

Saline County voters in November approved expanding the commission from three to five members.

Under Kansas law, the current commissioners were required to draw new districts within a month, and the governor was required to fill the seats. The new commissioners will stand for election in 2016.

twiggy

Some girls really are pretty in pink. We think Twiggy is runway material in her pink bow.

She is a petite 2 year old Pointer mix with a white coat with a smattering of brown spots. She only weighs around 46 lbs.

She is a sweetheart and would be a good fit for almost any home. Help her find her special Home for the Holidays. Sorry, pink bow not included. You can always take her shopping.

sweet rolls

At first glance, you wouldn’t guess that Sweet Roll is 10 years old.

He is a vibrant and loving guy and is as handsome as they come. He is a Domestic Short Hair mix with an all blue coat and weighs in at about 13 lbs.

He has no qualms about asking for attention and would happily entertain you with the tales of his youth. So put on your best listening ears and get ready to snuggle in.

husker

Did you know that Husker is eligible for free training sessions with Pit Bull EDU? When you adopt a Pit Bull or a bully breed, you can sign up for those sessions to help you bond with your new friend.

Husker is a Pit Bull mix and has a gorgeous red coat. He is 3 years old and weighs around 60 lbs. He is better at being the only dog in the home, but would be a great dog for an outdoor enthusiast.

JeD & rowDy

Just because animals come in together doesn’t always mean they need to go home together.

Jed and Rowdy are an exception. They are siblings and very bonded.

They are 7 year old Pointer mixes and both have black and white coats. Rowdy looks to her “big” brother for guidance and Jed has clearly taken on that role for her. We would love to see these two find a home soon. They would do best as farm dogs.

Lone-wolf terrorists pose varied threat Washington — The lone wolf is the new national nightmare, dramatized and amplified this week by the hostagetaking attack in Sydney, Australia. But there are two kinds of lone wolves — the crazy and the evil — and the distinction is important.

The real terrorists are rational. Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, had been functioning as an Army doctor for years. Psychotics cannot carry that off.

Monis, on the other hand, was a marginal, alienated Iranian immigrant with a cauldron of psychopathologies. Described by his own former lawyer as “unhinged,” Monis was increasingly paranoid.

He’d been charged as accessory to the murder of his ex-wife and convicted of sending threatening letters to the families of dead Australian soldiers.

His religiosity was both fanatical and confused. A Shiite recently converted to Sunni Islam, his Internet postings showed not just the zeal of the convert but a remarkable ignorance of Islam and Islamism. He even brought the wrong Islamic banner to the attack. He had to ask the authorities to provide him an Islamic State flag.

Which led to a frantic search to find an Islamic State connection or conspiracy. But for the disturbed like Monis, the terror group does not provide instructions, it provides a script. It of-

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Nonetheless, in the scheme of things, the crazies are limited in what they can carry out. They are too disorganized to do more than localized, smallscale damage.”

Hasan even had a business card listing his occupation as S of A (Soldier of Allah). He then went out and, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” shot dead 13 fellow soldiers. To this day, Hasan speaks coherently and proudly of the massacre. That’s terrorism.

Sydney’s Man Haron

fers the disoriented and deranged a context, a purpose, a chance even at heroism.

I suspect this is the case with most of the recent cluster of lone-wolf terrorist incidents, from the beheading of a fellow worker in Oklahoma to the Queens ax attack on New York City police.

We fear these attackers because the psychopathological raw material is everywhere, in the interstices of every society. Normally in and out of mental hospitals, in and out of homelessness, some are now redirected to find a twisted redemption in terror.

Nonetheless, in the scheme of things, the crazies are limited in what they can carry out. They are too disorganized to do more than localized, small-scale damage. The larger danger is the Maj. Hasan with his mental faculties intact and his purpose unwavering.

The still greater threat is organized terror, as we

were reminded just hours after Sydney by the Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar that killed at least 148, mostly children.

This is evil in its purest form. Consider that many of the children were killed not by explosive device or sprayed gunfire but by a single bullet to the head, the point-blank execution of an innocent, rivaling in sheer barbarism the mass murders of the Islamic State and its proud videotaped beheadings of hostages.

The purity of such evil is clarifying. It banishes thoughts of negotiation or compromise. Indeed, in response to the Peshawar atrocity, the Pakistani Prime Minister suspended his country’s prohibition of the death penalty.

In the face of similar savagery, Barack Obama committed the U.S. to a military campaign against the Islamic State. Which, if successful, would not just affect the region. Reversing the fortunes of the

terror masters abroad is the key to diminishing the lone-wolf threat at home.

These groups inspire and influence because of their prestige, which, as for most messianic movements, depends on their successes — measured in growing power, territorial conquest and persuasive propaganda.

You don’t find many local terrorists invoking al-Qaida nowadays. They fly the flag of the Islamic State. It is the strong horse, on the rise.

The first line of defense against lone wolves is, of course, protective measures: identification, tracking and pre-emption. But given the sheer number of the disturbed, unstable and potentially impressionable among us, and given the strictures that civil liberties have placed on prior restraint, that defensive posture can take us only so far.

The Islamic State has discovered that the projection of terror does not depend, al-Qaida-style, on sending expeditionary cells to kill infidels abroad. It can do so longdistance by inspiration, by wire, as it were. Which is why the ultimate line of defense against lone wolves is to turn the fortunes of the warrior tribes themselves, the script writers of jihad.

The great new specter is the homegrown terrorist. But he is less homegrown than we imagine.

He is fed from abroad.

Which is where, as ever since 9/11, the battle must be fought.

PUBLIC FORUM

Wrong repair To the editor: I recently read the proposed fix for the cracking that exists at the rec center and had to make my comments known. I have been a concrete contractor in Lawrence for over 45 years and have seen just about every fix for concrete that exists. What they are proposing will only highlight the problem and serve no purpose at all.

Filling the cracks with epoxy would serve some purpose if it were outside where it could stop rain water from getting through the concrete.

If the plans called out for saw cuts and they were not done, that is a basic violation of concrete 101 and following through on the specifications for the project. Concrete slabs should be cut within an hour after the finishing is done. There are soft cut saws that can do this and it will reduce cracking by 90 percent. The only fix for the problem is removal and replacement. If they didn’t follow the specs, make them pay, not the people of Lawrence.

Stan Tiemeyer, Lawrence

of contracting bacterial meningitis than the general public, but it’s still a rare disease, and the economists may decide it’s not “cost-effective” to recommend vaccinating all of you against meningitis B if only a few of you are going to die of it.

They have tables that put a dollar figure on each of your lives.

I will encourage a college recommendation when I talk to federal officials in February, because when I was at Kansas University in 2004, meningitis B almost killed me and cost me parts of all four limbs. At the time, there was no shot for meningitis B. Now, thankfully, there is.

Google names like Stephanie Ross, Andrea Jaime, Sara Stelzer and Aaron Loy and you’ll see what meningitis B does to college students. Loy is the lucky one: He only lost his legs.

Then contact your congressional reps and tell them you want a broad meningitis B vaccine recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control. Your life is more than a number on a table.

Andy Marso, Lawrence

Vital vaccine To the editor: To my fellow Jayhawks: How much is your life worth?

Medical economists who work for the federal government are asking themselves that as they decide whether to recommend a new meningitis B vaccine for college students.

Their recommendation will determine what sort of insurance coverage the shot gets.

College students are at greater risk

— President Barack Obama to a football game because there might be the possibility of a terrorist attack.”

In an interview on CNN after the president’s remarks, Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton took issue with Obama’s interpretation of what the company did and why.

“I don’t know exactly whether he understands the sequence of events that led up to the movie not being shown in the movie theaters,” Lynton said. “Therefore I would disagree with the notion that it was a mistake.”

He went on to say that since Sony doesn’t own theaters, “We cannot determine whether or not a movie will be played in movie theaters.”

Sony pulled the film

from its planned release after theater chains balked at showing it following threats from the hackers.

The North Korean government has denied direct involvement.

A group that calls itself the Guardians of Peace claimed responsibility for the cyberattack — discovered in late November — and subsequently issued the threats against Sony, its employees and theaters that distribute its movies. In response, the company canceled the opening of “The Interview,” a putative comedy about a U.S. plot to assassinate North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un. The administration’s explicit pinning of responsibility on the reclusive North Korean government further raises the stakes, turning one company’s woes into a foreign policy dilemma. Senior lawmakers from both parties urged Obama to re-designate North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism, pledged to impose tougher economic sanctions and invoked the language of war.

Cuba switch forces Lawsuit filed against Woman arrested in exile groups to adapt legal Colorado pot deaths of 8 children Miami — Hours before President Barack Obama announced an end to a halfcentury of U.S. efforts to isolate Cuba’s communist government, the Cuban American National Foundation opened the doors to its inviting new headquarters in the heart of Miami’s Cuban exile community.

The lobbying group was founded in 1981 by veterans of covert U.S.-supported missions to overthrow Fidel and Raul Castro, and for many years it worked to undermine the communist government from offices in an unmarked Miami building outside Little Havana.

The new building reflects how a niche industry of passionate anti-Castro groups, sustained in part by millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars over the decades, will have to adapt to new ways of dealing with Cuba.

Dozens of anti-Castro media companies, lobbying organizations and aid groups dedicated to encouraging political change on the island are based in Miami or have strong ties to its exile community.

Denver — Despite growing public support for legalizing marijuana, a lawsuit filed by Nebraska and Oklahoma shows that at least two segments of American society are prepared to fight the idea before the nation’s highest court — social conservatives and law enforcement.

The lawsuit seeks to overturn Colorado’s experiment in legalized recreational pot, alleging that the two conservative states are being overrun with Colorado marijuana that is making it harder for them to enforce their own drug laws.

Nebraska Attorney General Jim Bruning framed it as a public-safety issue, though the complaint provides little data to support its claim that Colorado pot is pouring into neighboring states.

The case emerges at a time when polls show growing public support for legal weed. Even Congress this week started to ease restrictions on the drug, barring the federal government from interfering with the 23 states that allow it for medical uses.

Sydney — An Australian woman was charged with murder in the killings of eight children, seven of whom are believed to be her own, police said this morning. The children were found dead inside the woman’s home.

The 37-year-old woman, who is recovering in a hospital from stab wounds, was under guard and speaking with police, Queensland Police Detective Inspector Bruno Asnicar said. She has not yet been charged.

Police haven’t said how the children died. But Asnicar said they’re examining several knives in the home that may have been the weapon used to kill them.

The children ranged in age from 18 months to 14 years, Asnicar said. The woman is thought to be the mother of seven of the children. The eighth is believed to be her niece.

Police were called to the home in the Cairns suburb of Manoora on Friday morning after receiving a report of a woman with serious injuries. When they got to the house, they found the bodies of the children.

Washington (ap) — President Barack Obama criticized Sony Pictures Entertainment on Friday for retreating on a film that seemingly instigated a devastating cyberattack now blamed on the North Korean government.

Amid escalating concerns over porous U.S. electronic security, the FBI said it had amassed evidence linking North Korea to the massive hack. Obama denounced the cross-border assault even as he said Sony “made a mistake” in canceling the planned Dec. 25 release of the film “The Interview.”

“I’m sympathetic that Sony as a private company was worried about liabilities and this and that and the other,” the president said, but “I wish they had spoken to me first. I would’ve told them, ‘Do not get into a pattern in which you’re intimidated by these kinds of criminal attacks.’”

Obama, speaking at a year-end news conference, added that “we can’t start changing our patterns of behavior any more than we stop going

CITY SHOWDOWN BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Firebirds’ strategy bothered Lawrence Kudos to Free State High coach Chuck Law for employing a turn-back-theclock, clock-eating strategy, and especially to his players for having the discipline to execute their coach’s game plan remarkably well.

Shockingly, visiting Lawrence High had to come from behind to defeat underdog Free State, 39-33, Friday night in a packed, renovated gymnasium where with each tick of the only clock high school basketball uses, the game clock, the pressure mounted on the state’s No. 1 team.

No shot clock meant the Firebirds could take their time, protect the ball conservatively and frustrate the state’s top-ranked team into not doing what it loves to do, which is to play basketball at a fast pace.

The students won’t hear this in their U.S. history class, but a quick basketball-history lesson seems timely. Tennessee defeated Temple, 11-6, in a college basketball game in 1973. Not a football game, a basketball game. No shot clock. It wasn’t until the 1985-86 season that college basketball started to use one, initially a 45-second clock.

I like that high schools don’t use one, although I’m certainly glad college basketball started using it.

The lack of a defined time to get a shot off in high school gives the little guys a slingshot of a chance to slay giants. And that’s what Friday night’s game was on paper, a colossal mismatch.

“Close to executing the game plan to a T,” Law said of his players.

And the game plan was?

“No. 1 was not allowing them any transition baskets, and I don’t believe they got any,” Law said. “Two was to try as much as we could to make other guys than the two studs — they’ve got a lot of good players, but they have two obvious studs — beat us.”

As long as the rules are the rules, why not play to them?

“Obviously, depends on the night, and it depends on the team,” Law said of whether he likes the rule.

“I told our guys all week: ‘There is a shot clock. It’s eight minutes long. Use that to your advantage.’ The three-point line and no shot clock are the great equalizers of high school basketball. We used one of them very advantageously. We didn’t do the other.”

LHS coach Mike Lewis expressed no ambiguity as to his shot-clock stance: “The problem that we face in high school is that there’s no shot clock. It can be very repetitive and methodical like that, and play to their advantage.”

Slowing it down can only work if someone can eventually score and steal possessions, and the Firebirds’ most experienced player did plenty of both. Weston Hack, a 6-foot-3 senior, played a terrific game and finished with 18 points, nine rebounds and one turnover. He cut to the hoop purposefully, played strong defense on the

LAWRENCE HIGH’S JUSTIN ROBERTS (5) GOES BASELINE around the Free State defense during the City Showdown on Friday night at FSHS. The Lions won, 39-33.

LHS boys claim 39-33 victory

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s boys basketball team entered Friday with a plan to stop Lawrence High’s explosive offense. It included packing the paint on defense and slowing the tempo down on offense.

For three quarters, it worked to perfection in the City Showdown. The Firebirds led by two, and the

Lions were frustrated with their inability to drive the lane, or when they drove past their defender, a Free State defender was there to take a charge.

But in the fourth quarter, the Lions couldn’t be held down any longer, as they made enough shots and free throws for a 39-33 victory at FSHS. LHS senior Anthony Bonner used a pump fake, one-

dribble jumper to give the Lions a 25-23 lead early in the fourth quarter. Free State senior Weston Hack countered with a coast-to-coast layup of his own more than a minute later, but Lawrence junior Justin Roberts and Bonner drilled jump shots to give the Lions a lead they would never give up.

“That’s the toughest game we’ve played all season,” Bonner said of the City

Showdown-turned-chess match.

The Lions (5-0) tried to push the pace in transition, but the Firebirds were quick to get back on defense, then dared LHS shooters to fire away from the perimeter.

The Lions shot 1-for-10 from behind the three-point line.

“They took away our driving lanes,” LHS coach Mike Please see LHS BOYS, page 4B

Piper powers Free State girls, 59-47

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Free State sophomore Madison Piper was not about to let an illness or any player from Lawrence High stop her from leading the Firebirds to a victory in the girls basketball City Showdown on Friday at FSHS. Piper scored 19 of her 21 points in the first half and knocked down five threepointers to help FSHS to a 59-47 win over LHS and keep the Firebirds perfect at 5-0.

“I was running off of adrenaline, I’m not going to lie. There were times where I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. I’m weak,’” Piper said. “It was a fun game, so I was just going off of adrenaline.”

Lawrence High coach Jeff Dickson knew Piper would be a matchup problem going

into the game, but he took the fall for not having the Lions ready for the City Showdown.

“I didn’t do a very good job of getting the girls prepared to play in this kind of environment,” Dickson said. “It’s really hard to kind of simulate it. With a young team, once they got rolling and Madison got going, I think it kind of knocked them back a little bit.”

Piper’s barrage of threepointers fueled the Firebirds to outscore the Lions, 22-13, in the second quarter, but Skylar Drum locked down the FSHS sophomore guard in the second half and held her to just two shots after the break.

“We had Skylar on her at first, and she was doing a good job, but the kid needs to take a break and get a drink,

and once we took her out of the game, Madison went off,” Dickson said. “Skylar told me at halftime that she wouldn’t ever score anymore, and we just played the rest of the game, and she did a heck of a job. I think (Drum) held her to two points in the second half, which is pretty incredible.”

But while Piper was contained in the second half, she was still able to get her teammates involved and was a force on the glass. Seniors Sarah Coversup and Adriana Jadlow scored in double figures with 15 and 12 points, respectively. Jadlow made four of seven shots from the field and four of 10 from the charJohn Young/Journal-World Photo ity stripe. Coversup hit only three of her 11 shots, but was FREE STATE’S MADISON PIPER, left, able to effectively get to the floats past Lawrence High’s Skylar Drum as she heads toward the basket Please see FSHS GIRLS, page 4B Friday night at FSHS.

Manning could provide KU valuable minutes

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Conner Teahan, Christian Moody, Justin Wesley and Stephen Vinson have been four walk-ons to play meaningful minutes at Kansas University in the Bill Self era.

It’s not guaranteed, but definitely possible Evan Manning will be the next non-scholarship player in line to help the team during Please see KEEGAN, page 4B the meat of the game.

“ E v a n has had a good week of practice.

I mean, our team looks better with Evan in the game,” KU coach Self Manning said of the junior point guard out of Free State High and New Hampton Prep School who has been running with the second team all week in

preparation for today’s 2 p.m. game against Lafayette (7-2) in Allen Fieldhouse.

No. 10-ranked KU (8-1) is thin at point guard, with Devonté Graham out a month because of a severely sprained toe and Conner Frankamp’s decision to transfer.

“More of an emergency spot-minute guy,” Self said of the role he envisions for the 6-foot-3 Manning. “I’m not being negative at all, but if Evan can give Frank

(Mason III) a couple minutes a half, and he may not have to if Wayne (Selden, Jr., combo guard) is not in foul trouble.

“We’ll probably see fewer minutes with Wayne and Frank in there together, maybe two to five a half, which will allow maybe Wayne to be fresh when Frank is not in.

“I see Evan as being a guy we can go to depending on

Royals ink Rios to $11M, one-year deal Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals announced the signing of veteran outfielder Alex Rios to an $11 million, one-year deal Friday that includes a mutual option for the 2016 season.

Rios, who will take over right field for departed free agent Nori Aoki, will make $9.5 million this season. The deal includes $12.5 million the following year with a $1.5 million buyout.

The 33-year-old Rios should provide more pop to a lineup that lacked home-run hitters last season. He’s part of an offseason spending spree by the AL champs that includes the signing of Kendrys Morales to a $17 million, two-year deal.

The Royals have been so busy this offseason they gave both players No. 15 jerseys when they were introduced.

Kane expected to join KU football staff

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Sources close to the Kansas University football program told the Journal-World that former KU linebacker Kevin Kane is expected to rejoin the program as a part of new head coach David Beaty’s coaching staff.

Kane, who has spent the past four years coaching at Northern Illinois — linebackers and special teams in 2013 and 2014 and tight ends and full-

backs prior to that — likely will coach linebackers in his return to his alma mater.

Kane K a n e went to NIU after three seasons on the staff at Wisconsin, where he was a graduate assistant in 2008-09 before serving as the qualitycontrol assistant for the UW defense in 2010. Kane

earned a master’s degree in education from Wisconsin in 2010.

Prior to going to Wisconsin, the Kansas City, Missouri, native served as a graduate-assistant coach at Kansas for two seasons and in 2007 was a part of the coaching staff that led the Jayhawks to the 2008 Orange Bowl championship.

Kane earned a degree in communication studies from KU in 2006.

Probable Starters

the situation probably determining if we do or not,” Self added. “It could be we could go with a Svi (Mykhailiuk) or go with somebody else if we are not playing with a point guard.

If we can run our true ballscreen mode, I think it’d be a lot easier to play without a true point guard.”

Mykhailiuk, a 6-8 freshman wing, played some point for Ukraine’s junior national team.

“Yes, I can (play point),” said the sharpshooter, who revealed Friday he has spent hours in the gym on his own first semester firing between 500 to 1,000 shots an evening.

“Sometimes my coach (in Ukraine) needed a point guard, so I was playing point guard.”

Svi likes what he’s seen out of Manning.

“He can do easy plays. He’s not going to do something special that nobody can do. It’s easy to play with him,” Mykhailiuk said.

Sophomore forward Landen Lucas said Manning has stood out at practice this week.

“Evan has stepped up on that second-group team and done a great job moving the ball and running the team,” Lucas said. “It’s been nice to have him fill in. He’s a coach’s son. He understands what’s going on and knows all the plays. When he comes in and plays with us, he does a good job making sure we’re still getting better.

I think he’s ready to come into a game if he’s called on.”

Lucas, who has started the past seven games, will come off the bench today, as freshman Cliff Alexander will make his first start, Self said.

It could be good timing, since Alexander and Lucas have spent the week watching film of past KU bigs like Markieff Morris and Cole Aldrich. Other starters today will be Brannen Greene, Mason, Selden and Perry Ellis.

“Markieff was really smart at how to utilize his body and basically score before he catches. We have to do a better job with that. Coach (Norm) Roberts has shown them tape. We’ve had a good week of practice.”

Kelly Oubre Jr., have had a great week of practice.

Self said 6-10 Arkansas transfer Mickelson has been shooting well.

Of freshman wing Oubre, Self said: “The light is starting to come on for him. When it comes on it’s going to stay on.

He’s going to do great.

The last two games have given him some confidence.” ... Of KU’s style of play with Graham out, Self said: “It won’t change what we do. It’ll certainly maybe keep us from doing some things as well as what we could potentially be doing.

Then again, you could say if we’ve got Svi and Brannen in at the same time, we have a lot of shooting, too. We have enough options. I think we can tinker around and find something that’s working that night, at least most nights. It is probably a bit different than what I had envisioned (before season), but that doesn’t mean it’s worse, it’s just different.

We’ll probably be more a l shoot-off-the-catch team This that: Self said than a penetrate-andHunter Mickelson and pitch-type team.”

Know the foe: Lafayette, a school of 2,400 students located in Easton, Pennsylvania, enters on a four-game win streak.

The Leopards, who are led by 20th-year coach Fred O’Hanlon (276-297), were picked preseason No. 4 in the 10-team Patriot League behind American, Army and Holy Cross. The Leopards average 79 points a game off 50.6 percent shooting, including 42.4 percent from three-point range. Lafayette averages 8.1 threepointers, 16.6 assists and 7.2 steals per game.

“Their record is good.

They shoot a great percentage beyond the arc.

They have four starters

when we left there, it was a staple.”

In other potential staff news, FootballScoop.com, through a source, is reporting that former Tulsa defensive tackles coach Calvin Thibodeaux is joining the Kansas staff as well, but that has yet to be confirmed by anyone in or close to the program. It’s definitely a name worth keeping an eye on, though, and the timing would make sense, given that Beaty said Thursday that he was closing in on finalizing his staff.

who can stretch it and play around a good post guy. They’ve got a nice team,” Self said.

Senior forward Dan Trist averages a teamleading 17.0 points and 6.0 boards. Senior guard Seth Hinrichs averages 12.6 ppg and 4.7 rpg. Senior guard Joey Ptasinski (12.0 ppg) has made a team-best 29 three-pointers and has 16 steals.

Lafayette has lost at West Virginia (83-66) and at Yale (82-60) while defeating Robert Morris, Princeton, Penn, Farleigh Dickinson, Wagner, Sacred Heart and Susquehanna. This is the first meeting between the two schools.

The Jayhawks are 8-2 all-time against current membership of the Patriot League and have played eight of the 10 members.

The two schools the Jayhawks have not faced are Army and Navy. The last KU contest versus a Patriot League member was on Dec. 29, 2012, an 89-57 KU win versus American in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kane, who played his high school football at Rockhurst High, figures to bring a ton of Jayhawk pride to the staff and, like Beaty and assistants Clint Bowen and Reggie Mitchell, has been around the program long enough to know what it takes to succeed at KU. More than that, Kane,

“Once you get it in to Sarah, good things happen,” Piper said. “We always need to look for Sarah.”

The Lions hung tough with the Firebirds after the break, but still trailed by double digits for most of the second half. LHS senior Marissa Pope netted a game-high 22 points and was the lone Lion in double figures.

“I started out really slow because I picked up two fouls,” Pope said, “but I just kept attacking the basket and shooting wide-open shots, so I felt pretty good today.”

Dickson was pleased with how the 1-4 Lions competed with Free State for three quarters, but said that his team will need to work on playing for a full 32 minutes when the Lions return from winter break.

“We’ve got to improve on defense,” Dickson said. “In the Sunflower League, you’re going to run into somebody like Madison Piper every single night. If you can’t do a better job with your helpside defense and keeping people from getting dead layups, it’s going to be a long season.”

ball and in the passing lanes, and handled the ball like a point guard.

Not only that, he had a blast at least until the Lions pulled it out in the final minutes.

“We knew we could play with them,” Hack said. “We don’t really buy into the rankings or anything like that. We believed in ourselves.

We just didn’t do enough down the stretch.”

Hack didn’t need any convincing from the coaching staff as to the right approach.

“If we get into a track meet with them, we’re not going to beat them,” Hack said. “It wouldn’t even have been a game.

They have better athletes than us, better skill guys.

I think we understood that was our chance to stay in the game, possibly get a win, so we just bought into what coach asked us to do.”

And put the heat on the more talented, experienced squad.

“All the pressure was on them tonight,” Law said. “I think a lot of people in the community expected them to come over here and put it to us. It seems like a logical conclusion to come to.

But our kids believed.

We talked about how the only people who believed we could be in this game were the 12 guys and the coaches in this locker room. And that’s all you need. You bunker in, you build around yourselves and that’s what we did tonight.”

The result was an entertaining game that kept the audience tuned in every possession, instead of a blowout that would have left many spectators resorting to gabbing the night away.

FREE STATE SOPHOMORE JAY DINEEN WRAPS A PASS around Lawrence High defenders Anthony Bonner, left, and Fred Brou (21) during the City Showdown. The Lions won, 39-33, Friday at FSHS.

LHS boys CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Lewis said. “They were in position to take charges. They wanted the ball out on the perimeter. We didn’t shoot the ball particularly well from the perimeter. You put all of those pieces together and here’s a tight basketball game.”

LHS certainly didn’t make anything easier on itself, missing the front end of three one-and-one free throws late in the fourth quarter, but the Firebirds couldn’t drop their open looks from behind the three-point arc.

Afterward, Bonner and seniors John Barbee and Ben Rajewski hit eight straight free throws to finish the game.

Bonner finished with a team-high 13 points, while junior forwards Price Morgan and Fred Brou combined for 12 points and 14 rebounds.

“I never would have thought we could have kept (the score) in the 30s,” FSHS coach Chuck Law said. “I was hoping we could keep it in the upper 40s, low 50s. But we got the kind of game we wanted. We just didn’t make enough plays to win it.”

The Firebirds (2-1)

were patient with their possessions, waiting for open layups on back cuts or trying to find an open shot from deep. Hack took advantage by slashing in for layups or drilling jumpers with a gamehigh 18 points, while junior Hunter Gudde added 12 points.

“Not many people gave us a chance coming into this game, but we believed in ourselves and we battled, and we gave ourselves a chance down the stretch,” Hack said. “We just didn’t close it out.”

Free State followed a strong showing defensively against Mill Valley last week, and nearly shocked the city with an upset of the top-ranked team in Class 6A. The Firebirds are off for winter break, but the Lions will face Barstow (Mo.) in the Hyvee Shootout at Avila University at 6 tonight.

inter in a cold climate, with its unique challenges, can be symbolic of surviving tough times. Often the challenges of life teach us how strong we really are; any difficulty we overcome can increase our confidence.

Yet, in order to be strong in every situation, we must have an equally strong faith in God. Do you want to feel invincible? Worship God this week and learn of His love for you; the more you come to know Him, the more confident you will be.

With God beside you it will feel like summer all year.

Bob Kocour

Douglas County.

Realtor®, e-PRO

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home? For Sellers: Contact me or another Realtor® early in the process.

We can provide guidance on how to prepare the property for the market. We know how to maximize the potential. For Buyers: contact me or another Realtor® to minimize the frustration level. Most buyers buy a property a few times in their life. We go through it constantly.

What designations do you

Cell: 785.766.1234 Office: 785.841.4500 BobKocour@StephensRE.com

have and what does that mean for the people you

Where did you grow up? I was born and raised in Wichita with four other siblings. Went to Parochial grade school and attended Kapaun High School.

What area do you live in now? I live about a block from Quail Run Elementary on the west side of town. What do you like most about it? We have lived in the same house on a quiet street since 1995 and have wonderful neighbors.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working? I’ve spent the better part of three years helping my wife take care of her mother. I help out at Corpus Christi as time permits. I enjoy working in the yard, sitting on the neighbor’s deck, and occasionally getting out with friends for a game of golf.

How long have you worked in Real Estate? I started with Stephens Real Estate in 2003.

What did you do before that? After graduating from Wichita State University, I moved to Las Vegas and worked there for a few years before returning to Wichita and began my career with the Bell System. I retired from AT&T in 2002.

and my attention to detail, along with my background in negotiating corporate sales at AT&T are very strong points.

work with? I have an e-PRO designation and am a Realtor® with the National Association of Realtors®. I’ve tried to explain and my clients understand that a Realtor® works under a code of ethics and that I have a fiduciary responsibility to look out for their best interest.

What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? Having relocated with AT&T, I know firsthand how overwhelming and exciting a move can be. I try to educate the client on the processes, options, and information flow to relieve their stress level.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

I really can’t think of anything in particular.

Compared to my wife’s family, nothing seems too unusual.

What is the most unique property you’ve listed or sold? I can think of a few unique properties: The KU Provost’s house near campus was really cool. I would have to include the Hobbs Taylor Lofts. That was exciting to watch as

What do you see in the future for real estate sales/prices? The area we live in has historically been a strong real estate market. Lawrence is a great place to live. So many things to love about the town: KU fine arts and athletic activities, Downtown Lawrence, Rock Chalk Park, the Library, concerts in the park. The list goes on. I see nothing on the horizon to make it change.

Lawrence is a great place to raise a family and doing so in your own house with great neighbors can’t be beat.

Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent? I treat them like family. (My family, not my wife’s family ) I really try to look out for their best interest.

each client designed and built out their unique space.

What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition? I had the privilege of being the President of the Lawrence Board of Realtors® in 2011. I got to know most of the members. I learned a little from each one. I believe our management and staff at Stephens

“A Lasting Gift” GUITAR LESSONS nsj@nicholasstjames.com MORE: nicholasstjames.com/lessons This is an ad to let the public know that a family tradition has been broken when someone stole from Mr. Bill Rogers front yard, at 16th and Delaware, his handmade Santa and reindeer Christmas yard decorations. He made these in the 1980’s from a pattern he found from a magazine, and his son, who just turned 27 years old, has memories of these yard decorations from when he was a little boy. If you have any information regarding Mr. Roger’s yard decorations - a hand painted Santa with packages, sleigh, and four reindeer, please leave a message at 785-393-4580.

Dear Annie: My brother-in-law married “Rose,” a divorcee, a year ago, although they had been living together for several. This was a second marriage for both of them, and they each have adult children. Rose died three months ago from a quickly spreading cancer.

Rose’s three adult sons insisted that the name on the death notice, death certificate and grave marker be her first husband’s, with no acknowledgment of her current legal last name. My brother-inlaw protested but was bullied into doing what the boys wanted.

The sons then had their father’s ashes placed into Rose’s coffin and buried them together in a Catholic graveyard — and their father was Jewish.

Our family is dis-

traught over these events. Can you imagine being buried with your divorced husband’s ashes? These were not her wishes. Is there any recourse? — Hurting for My Brother-in-Law Dear Hurting: Were Rose’s wishes in writing? Did she leave instructions with an attorney? Rose’s children want their parents to be together.

Your family can consult a lawyer, but it is unlikely you will get

Is an ‘icetastrophe’ in our forecast?

Hardly “Sharknado,” the silly shocker “Christmas Icetastrophe” (8 p.m. Saturday, Syfy) has all of the elements that made this network’s popcorn movie franchise so addictive: a silly title, so-so acting, special effects and dubious science. Very dubious science.

While it lacks the blink-andyou-missed-them stunt casting of “Sharknado,” the ensemble does include some semi-familiar faces, including Victor Webster (“Continuum”), Jennifer Spence (“Stargate Universe”) and Richard Harmon (“Bates Motel”).

The story involves a strange asteroid that hits a resort community on Christmas Day. The space relic contains a hot side and a cold side. When the sides separate, the frigid half causes a cascade of crystallization, rapidly freezing everything it encounters — except, of course, major characters. They’re saved by little things like Zippo lighters, a boiler room and our emotional investment in their survival. Perhaps their contracts.

Lesser players are dispatched with the casual savagery we’ve come to expect from these efforts. They’re impaled by asteroid debris, or flash frozen and then shattered into a thousand human ice cubes. Not suitable for Christmas cocktail parties.

As in most films since “Jaws” bloodied the box office, minor subplots involve a secret teenage romance and the class struggle between a log cabinowning hunk and his silver spoon boss whose plans to gentrify the town have divided the community. But when cosmic debris plunges the town into an instant Ice Age, such quibbles can’t gather much steam.

Dreading all of that holiday together time with the nearest and dearest? “Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry?” (7 p.m. Saturday, ID) returns for a new season of stories about spouses hiding behind double lives and criminal identities. First up: a woman from Jupiter, Fla., who discovers some ugly truths about her husband, six years into her seemingly placid marriage.

Tonight’s other highlights

House-swapping improves Cupid’s chances for two women (Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet) in the 2006 romantic comedy “The Holiday” (7 p.m., Lifetime).

BIRTHDAYS Psychic Uri Geller is 68. Rock musician Alan Parsons is 66.

Rock singer Chris Robinson is 48. Actor Jonah Hill is 31. Singer JoJo is 24.

the ex-husband’s ashes disinterred unless your brother-in-law is prepared for a legal fight.

We suggest your brother-in-law put a second death notice in the paper with Rose’s legal married name. Beyond that, be supportive of whatever your brotherin-law chooses to do.

Dear Annie: Several months ago, I placed my husband in an assisted-living facility because he has Alzheimer’s disease. My grown children and his doctor helped me make this difficult decision.

I’ve dealt with guilt and several times thought I should bring him home.

But then I remember how worn out and frustrated I was when I was doing everything. He’s well cared for and content.

A friend of mine visits a family member at the same facility. To-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Dec. 20: This year you often say one thing but do another, which confuses the people around you.

You might not even be aware of this behavior, but others will be quick to mention it to you. If you are single, this issue could have caused you difficulties with relating in the past. If you are attached, your sweetie is used to your behavior.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Your mind might be on those at a distance whom you care about. Tonight: Check out a fun holiday happening.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You and a friend might decide to combine forces to finish up some holiday shopping.

Tonight: Get into the moment.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Friends will play a considerable role in what is about to happen. Tonight: Go with the flow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You are the sign of family and home. You feel good when you show your generous side. Tonight: Give a loved one the attention he or she deserves.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Take some time for yourself and a loved one if the opportunity appears. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes.

day, she called to tell me that my husband said he misses me and that he’s lonely.

And then she added, “Wouldn’t you be?” I know none of this actually happened, because my husband has been unable to carry on any type of conversation for a very long time.

Why would someone want to make me feel even worse? — Feeling Bad Enough Already Dear Feeling: Nice friend you have. Some people enjoy poking their noses where they don’t belong and eliciting a shocked reaction.

It makes them feel important. She may even be projecting her own feelings of guilt onto you. Ignore her. She isn’t worth your time.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tension builds, especially if you are out getting holiday errands done. Tonight: Cupid might push you and a friend under the mistletoe.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Express your feelings in such a way that someone else can easily respond to them.

Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You suddenly could become a little too concerned with your finances and wonder which way to go. Tonight: Paint the town red.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might need to revise your budget if you are doing too much shopping. Tonight: Go with spontaneity.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will want to pull back and slow down some. Take an hour or two off. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Bring friends together for a spontaneous gathering. You even might start sharing some presents. Tonight: There is no stopping you now.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You will want to slow down, but you could have a hard time saying “no” to invitations.

Tonight: In the limelight!
