Officials say city erred in processing payment ‘We clearly screwed up,’ commissioner says of Rock Chalk action

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

An approximately $1 million payment for disputed Rock Chalk Park infrastructure bills is creating confusion and a new round of questions about whether the unique public-

private partnership behind the sports complex is lacking in transparency.

The payment — first approved by city commissioners on Tuesday night and then rescinded by the city manager on Wednesday morning — represented one of the final financial matters related to the Rock Chalk Park

City Manager David Corliss created the report but took the unusual step of providing it directly to city commissioners rather than posting it on the city’s agenda.

project. Commissioners on Wednesday expressed confusion about why information about the final payment wasn’t made more available to the public, which has questioned the finances of the project for months now.

Kansas law enforcement trainers emphasizing County briefed importance of ‘fair and impartial’ policing on alternatives for jail funding

By Caitlin Doornbos

Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Kansas is not changing the way it trains officers in light of recent furor over events in Ferguson, Mo., and New York City, but law enforcement trainers in the state have started a conversation about the importance of “fair and impartial policing” to avoid situations of racial discrimination in police work.

After grand juries in Missouri and New York chose not to indict law enforce-

ment officers who killed men in those cities in the course of their policing duties, citizens across the country have called for new scrutiny and discussion of policing practices and racial discrimination.

“Both the Ferguson and New York City situations have reminded us to reinforce with officers that they must always deliver policing and services in a fair and impartial manner,” Kansas Law Enforcement Training Cen-

In Kansas, lethal force can be employed to de-escalate dangerous situations, Pavey said.

At the training center, where all officers in the state are taught, students are instructed “only to use the legal force necessary to effect the arrest of a person,” Pavey said. The “legal force” could include the deployment of Tasers, batons or guns if warranted by the situation, Pavey said.

Man charged in killing of woman at store Kansas City, Kan. — Prosecutors have charged a Kansas man with first-degree murder who they say shot and killed a woman in a Lowe’s Home Improvement store parking lot.

Wyandotte County

prosecutors say 28-year-old George Lingenfelser killed 29-year-old Janet Billings on Sunday.

Kansas City, Kan., police say Billings and Lingenfelser knew each other. Their relationship is unclear.

The complaint against the police department was filed by a person who said he had been pulled over because of his race. The complaint was determined to be unfounded when it was found that the man was not wearing his seat belt, which is a valid reason for a stop.

not the airways.”

Pavey said the training center and the Kansas African American Affairs Commission within the governor’s office partnered last year to begin educating state law enforcement and communities about the “fair and impartial policing” concept, as outlined by expert Lorie Fridell.

Under this concept, Pavey said officers are taught to: l Make sure they have “articulable reasonable suspicion” for each traffic or pedestrian stop. l Take enforcement actions “as they come” without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation or other features. l Immediately identify themselves as law enforcement and explain to the suspect why they were

stopped. Pavey said that’s because “if an officer fails to do so, the motorist or pedestrian will fill in the blanks for themselves.” l Keep records of all contact with citizens. l Review all of their actions based on the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics.

Pavey said fair and impartial policing is essential to police work because the community must trust law enforcement in order for officers to effectively do their jobs.

“Doing (fair and impartial policing) consistently will go a long ways in helping to foster community trust and cooperation,” Pavey said.

In 2014 annual reports submitted to the state attorney general’s office by the Lawrence Police Department and the Douglas

County Sheriff’s Office said: l Both agencies have had all nonexempt officers complete annual training relevant to racial or biasedbased policing. l Both agencies have a policy prohibiting racial or other biased-based policing. l Both agencies have specific discipline plans for officers who engage in racial or other bias-based policing. l The police department has a community advisory board on racial or bias-based policing; the sheriff’s office does not. l The police department has a racial or other biased-based policing comprehensive plan; the sheriff’s office does not.

In addition, the reports showed that there was just one complaint of racial

or other bias-based policing in the area from July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014.

The complaint against the police department was filed by a person who said he had been pulled over because of his race.

The complaint was determined to be unfounded when it was found that the man was not wearing his seat belt, which is a valid reason for a stop.

Sheriff’s office spokesman Lt. Steve Lewis said that an administrative captain in the office attended a round table event held by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office in October on “representative policing,” or diversity among law enforcement, in response to the Ferguson incident.

by Bill Self’s Assists Foundation to pay for the remainder. The city would have been obligated under the development agreement to pay for more of the soft costs, except the $1.09 million amount brought the city to its previously negotiated maximum spending cap on the project.

City Commissioner Terry Riordan said he generally was satisfied with the findings of Corliss’ report but was unhappy with how the report was released to the public.

“I was comfortable with the answers, but I wasn’t comfortable with the process of it,” Riordan said.

throughout Kansas that allows local governments to raise funds for building projects by issuing bonds without voter approval.

Compared with city governments, counties have fewer options to raise capital for various projects. They can issue bonds after receiving voter approval; hold an election for a sales tax increase after receiving approval from the Legislature; or create a building commission.

The county is currently researching how to best expand its jail facility to better accommodate rising inmate populations and individuals with mental health needs.

Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug said in November he believes an expansion may run between $20 million and $30 million.

Weinaug has said he expects the jail expansion will have an impact on the mill levy. County officials believe the expansion will need to happen within the next three years.

A building commission would be composed of individuals appointed by county commissioners, who would then issue bonds on behalf of the county.

The issuance of the bonds by the building commission are subject to public protest, attorney Joe Norton said during a presentation to the commission Wednesday. If 5 percent of registered voters file a petition in protest, it would then force an election on whether to issue the bonds.

When asked how likely it is the County Commission would pursue a building commission, commissioners only said it is something they would continue to evaluate. But Weinaug said separately he “anticipate(s) we probably will” create a building commission.

Once a building commission is formed, it can also be used for other projects as well. The mechanism is also being considered to fund part of the coming $6.5 million renovation to the county’s fairgrounds. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2015, whereas no construction date for the jail has been identified.

Should the county create a building commission without interrupting construction plans for the fairgrounds, one would need to be established within four or five months, said Sarah Plinsky, assistant county administrator.

By Sara Shepherd Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

OVER 50 PEOPLE HELD AN ORGANIZED “DIE-IN” in front of U.S. Bank at 900 Massachusetts St. on Wednesday. The event lasted for four minutes, which is approximately the time it took for Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old African-American boy, to get help after being shot during a confrontation with police in Cleveland, Ohio, November 22. The Die-In was also held in conjunction with the #GlobalShutDown and an International Day of Action.

he heard Kuszmaul yelling expletives and “why was this guy in the middle of the road,” followed by moments of calmness.

“Oftentimes after a wreck, we find drivers are upset,” Bath said. “(The prosecution and police)

Kappa Sigma will remain on interim suspension after Kansas University and fraternity leaders agreed to extend the disciplinary measure while KU continues its investigation into allegations of sexual assault at the chapter house.

Kappa Sigma had a hearing with university officials on Nov. 24, during which, the fraternity had hoped to argue it did not pose a threat and should be removed from interim suspension while the investigation continued. KU procedures call for administrators to make a decision within 10 business days, but the university said Wednesday that timeline has been extended, and Kappa Sigma will stay on interim suspension for now, indefinitely.

“All of the parties involved have agreed to extend the deadline for a decision to be made,” university spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said.

David Steen, president of the KU chapter’s Housing Corporation, attended the hearing along with student representatives of the chapter. He said it was his understanding that

Judge hears arguments in case where student lost legs in wreck

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Douglas County District Judge Kay Huff is considering arguments presented Wednesday during the bench trial of Julian M. Kuszmaul, of Lawrence, charged in connection with an August 2012 accident that cost a Kansas University student his legs.

Kuszmaul, 24, is charged with refusing to submit to drug or alcohol testing, a second-offense DUI, possession of marijuana and following too closely, all misdemeanors.

A Ford Explorer Kuszmaul was driving during the early-morning hours of Aug. 26, 2012, struck and pinned 18-year-old Colby Liston, now 20, between Kuszmaul’s vehicle and another. The vehicle Liston was standing behind was illegally parked in a driving lane of the 1600 block of

Tennessee Street, according to court testimony.

After the accident, Liston’s legs had to be amputated above the knee.

Blood test results, which Huff ruled to suppress in 2013 because the blood draw was taken without Kuszmaul’s consent, showed Kuszmaul had a blood-alcohol content of 0.25 — three times the legal limit of 0.08 — when he struck Liston.

On Wednesday, Lawrence police officer Brett Horner testified that when he responded to the accident he saw Kuszmaul pacing on the sidewalk near the wreck. Kuszmaul “smelled strongly” of alcohol and marijuana, and his eyes were bloodshot and watery, a side effect of smoking marijuana, Horner said.

Horner said he also suspected Kuszmaul had been under the influence because he was showing signs of “mood swings.” He said

Schmidt’s challenge of the EPA rule, say the new model also takes into account blends of higher concentration such as E-20 and E-85 and assumes that the higher concentrations produce more harmful emissions.

Over 100 students packed into Alderson Auditorium on the Kansas University campus Wednesday night to voice frustrations about how they think KU’s Student Senate handles multicultural programs and how issues important to students of color aren’t highly represented.

According to its Facebook page, the Senate held the special forum to respond to recent events regarding race and social justice so it could better serve the needs of multicultural students.

Black and other minority students spoke about their experiences and frustrations on campus and voiced a sense of being marginalized by their peers, the university and the Senate itself. “This campus lacks cultural competency,� said Jameelah Jones, a graduate teaching assistant in African and African-American Studies at KU. “(It’s) like I am some ‘other.’�

polarity, such that positive has become negative,� those groups wrote in a joint letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy in October, shortly after the new emissions model was published in the Federal Register.

Schmidt also argues that EPA adopted the new model improperly. “EPA’s requirement that states use this faulty model was unlawfully adopted without notice and opportunity for comment,� Schmidt said in a

news release announcing the challenge. “This is an example of the EPA imposing its will on the states rather than working cooperatively toward the shared goal of cleaner air. We are asking that this model be rejected and replaced with a model that more accurately reflects the true emission effects of ethanol.�

The concern is that using the new model could show states and metropolitan areas out of compliance with clean air rules and thus force them to adopt strategies to reduce the use of ethanol.

cause of the complicated nature of the Kappa Sigma case, more time is needed.

Kappa Sigma has been on interim suspension since Sept. 30 for what Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little called “serious and disturbing� allegations of sexual assault during a party at the fraternity the previous weekend, KU’s homecoming. Kappa Sigma has described the party as an unsanctioned gathering organized by pledges.

The Lawrence Police Department is conducting a criminal investigation into the allegations, separate from KU’s.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, department spokesman, said Wednesday that no arrests had been made and that the police investigation also was ongoing.

While on interim suspension, the fraternity members are allowed to live and take meals in the house, but fraternity operations — such as meetings, parties and

Man sentenced for filing false tax return A Lawrence man, 31, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison Wednesday for filing a false tax return, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said in a news release.

Bradley Stoneking was sentenced after pleading guilty to making false statements in his 2010 income tax return.

Stoneking admitted to falsely claiming federal tax withholdings on gambling winnings in the amount of approximately $330,000. The federal tax withholding on his gambling winnings was actually $300, Grissom said.

Dates set for city tree recycling Once the holiday season passes and its time for revelers to pack up their decorations, Lawrence residents will have two opportunities to recycle their Christmas trees.

Residents are asked to place their live trees on the curb by 6 a.m. on either Dec. 29 or Jan. 5 for collection. The trees will be used for wildlife habitat, according to a city news release.

Residents are asked to remove all artificial items from the tree, such as tinsel, lights, tree stands and other ornaments.

GROWING TRADITION Cast, beards bigger than ever with latest version of ‘A Kansas Nutcracker’

T

his weekend, Ric Averill will complete his months-long transformation into Gen. Hugh Cameron, an eccentric figure who settled in Lawrence during the tumultuous years just before the Civil War. The Lawrence Arts Center will open “A Kansas Nutcracker” on Friday evening, with Averill, its longtime artistic director, playing the role of Cameron.

The self-appointed “Kansas Hermit” was known for his long, flowing beard.

“I wish I could grow one as long as Hugh Cameron’s, but it would take so long, my wife would leave me before I was done,” jokes Averill, who stopped shaving back in September. “She already thinks I look like the ‘Unabomber.’”

Since co-creating “A Kansas Nutcracker” with Deborah Bettinger in 2002, Averill and the Lawrence Arts Center have staged the riff on Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet nine times, with variations periodically.

The original version, which he guesses has been staged on seven occasions, was “less historically specific” than its new incarnation, Averill says.

“The first five years, we did a version that was set in 1857,” he says. “We had John Brown and a few Missouri ruffians that showed up at the party, and Clara’s dreams were dreams of Kansas, but it was an overall ‘Territorial Days’ theme.”

This season’s production, dubbed the “1856 Bleeding Kansas Edition,” is set in December of that year, which saw the Sacking of Lawrence

as well as the Pottawatomie and Osawatomie massacres.

“The idea was to go back to those early days,” Averill says of the production, which also features portrayals of famous Lawrencians such as John Brown, Charles Robinson, and of course, Averill’s Cameron.

An avid history buff, Averill wanted to stage a retelling of the Battle of Fort Titus.

Audiences will see some of that action on stage, he promises.

Not long after Sheriff Samuel Jones’ destroyed The Herald of Freedom presses in the Sacking of Lawrence, abolitionists fished the presses out of the Kansas River and melted them down into cannonballs.

As Free State forces fired each cannonball, they called out, “Here comes another issue of the Herald of Freedom,” Averill says.

The new “Kansas Nutcracker” will realign a few dances with their intended pieces of music from Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker,” such as the grand pas de deux at the end of Act II. Cynthia Crews, artistic

director of the Lawrence Ballet Theatre, and Hanan Misko, the Arts Center’s dance program director, also choreographed two new dances for the production. One features crops and farmers, and will be performed only by boys because of the center’s increased enrollment in its

boys’ dance classes. The other will be a pointe ballet dance that showcases the Arts Center’s experienced ballet students A live 12-piece orchestra will again be performing the musical arrangements by Musical Director Jeff Dearinger.

With about 150 danc-

ers and actors, this year’s “Kansas Nutcracker” boasts its biggest cast yet. Among the varied mix of seasoned professionals and community performers are several members of the same families, including Averill’s.

For the second year in a row, three generations of the Averill family will be represented on the “Kansas Nutcracker” stage. Ric’s daughter, Trish Nenuteboom, and 6-year-old granddaughter, Bella Nenuteboom, will play the roles of Clara’s mother and younger sister, respectively.

“I’m also on stage with my students and their children, so it’s not just my own daughter’s generation,” Averill says. “I’m acting with the children of the students I had 20 or 30 years ago. It’s pretty fun.”

Corps: U.S. behind on levees, dams Kansas City, Mo. — The nation is falling behind on maintaining its aging levees, dams, ports and harbors and needs to get creative as it seeks ways to pay for the critical projects, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ commander general said Wednesday.

Lt. Gen. Thomas Bostick told reporters that finishing all the projects that have been authorized would cost about $23.5 billion but that corps’ annual budget for the work usually hovers around $1.5 billion. He said that figure doesn’t include addressing a maintenance backlog as projects — many of them decades old — exceed their design life.

“It is going to take you decades to finish the work and then you are going to have new projects here and there,” Bostick said, speaking during the Society of American Military Engineers conference. “The reality is Congress cannot do this alone. The federal government cannot do this. And the message to local towns and communities and business is we cannot rely on the federal government to solve this fiscal challenge.”

Banning torture is a moral choice

EDITORIALS

Final insult Have Lawrence city officials not been listening to concerns raised by local taxpayers over Rock Chalk Park?

S

howing an amazing lack of concern for the many Lawrence residents who are unhappy over the city’s financial dealings on Rock Chalk Park, city commissioners on Tuesday approved payment of the final bill associated with infrastructure costs at the facility.

The payment was not included on the agenda that is provided to the public and news media and might have gone unnoticed, at least for now, if a JournalWorld reporter hadn’t seen a Kansas University Endowment Association staff member at the meeting and started asking some questions. The disputed bill for various fees associated with the project was approved along with other claims — which usually aren’t detailed until after approval.

Bright and early Wednesday morning, City Manager David Corliss said that even though the payment of fees was approved, that payment would not be made until after commissioners have a chance to discuss the issue at their Dec. 16 meeting.

That also will give the public an opportunity to see a report that commissioners were sent before Tuesday’s meeting but was not posted as part of the agenda.

The initial payment for about $1.09 million in legal fees, interest costs and other “soft costs” of the project was pulled from the larger infrastructure payment made Nov. 18. After examining those costs, city officials determined that some of those costs weren’t the city’s responsibility and reduced the payment by about $157,000.

That information was conveyed to city commissioners but not specifically to the public.

Commenting on the situation, Corliss said it wasn’t clear the report needed to be part of the commission’s agenda packet. “Our response is that the people who are paying the bill had the information,” he said.

If Corliss doesn’t wish he could take that statement back, he should. The “people who are paying this bill” are the taxpayers of Lawrence; commissioners are only their agents in this matter.

Giving local residents additional time to examine the city’s report probably won’t result in any changes in this payment, and, in the big scheme of this project, $157,000 is a drop in the bucket anyway. But the idea that the city manager and city commissioners would approve this bill before giving the public an adequate opportunity to see the report on which that payment was based seems like a final insult to taxpayers concerning the controversial financing arrangements for this project.

Washington — A CIA medical officer who was assigned to monitor the interrogation of an al-Qaida operative named Abu Zubaida sent a message to his superiors on Aug. 4, 2002, the day the CIA first used the technique known as “waterboarding.” He hauntingly titled his cable: “So it begins.”

“Longest time with the cloth over his face so far has been 17 seconds. This is sure to increase shortly. NO useful information so far. ... I’m head(ing) back for another water board session.”

And so dawned a nightmare era in which a CIA with little expertise in interrogation

David Ignatius

“

The Senate report describes a CIA that rushed recklessly into the interrogation abuses.

But what struck me was how unprepared the agency was for handling captured alQaida suspects.”

worked desperately to gather information that might protect a nation severely traumatized by the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

Zubaida “cried,” “begged,” “pleaded” and “whimpered,” but the waterboarding continued and the interrogation progressed. An Aug. 8, 2002, cable noted: “Several on the team profoundly affected ... some to the point of tears and choking up.”

What started that day at a secret prison in Asia came full circle Tuesday with a public accounting by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Reading the report, you feel a measure of the remorse expe-

rienced by those onlookers 12 years ago. While the report’s tone struck me as overly prosecutorial, I have no question that the committee was right to disclose it.

This is a political document, not a dispassionate history, but that’s part of its value: There simply is no way for a democracy to get past a trauma like the interrogation issue without an honest public accounting. It’s a strange healing process, ripping off the scab, exposing our wounds; perhaps it’s like the self-flagellation of the early saints.

The best illustration that confronting past evil leads to a kind of national redemption is Germany. Don’t misunderstand: The CIA’s interrogation practices aren’t remotely comparable to the crimes of Nazi Germany.

But the Germans insisted on facing their unconscionable history, admitting their guilt over and over, preserving the humiliation of their defeat in 1945 even on the walls of their parliament.

The Senate report describes a CIA that rushed recklessly into the interrogation abuses. But what struck me was how unprepared the agency was for handling captured al-Qaida suspects.

Most CIA officers were gentleman spies who would echo the demurrals of John Limond Hart when asked in 1978 about the harsh interrogation of KGB defector Yuri Nosenko: “It has never fallen to my lot to be involved with any experience as unpleasant. ... To me it is an abomination.”

The agency, fearing a “second wave” of al-Qaida attacks, turned in 2002 to two psychologists who claimed to be experts in interrogation. Based on their experience training American pilots to resist harsh interrogation, these consultants devised a list of 12 techniques to break the will of alQaida detainees. In addition to waterboarding, they suggested “use of insects” and “mock burial,” which apparently were rejected. Their company was paid a grotesque $80 million for its services.

The Senate report overreaches in its claim that torture was “not an effective means of acquiring intelligence.” Would that we could be so sure. It’s wiser to be agnostic about effectiveness, but clear about ethics. We can’t know whether information gained from harsh interrogation helped provide essential leads that allowed the targeting of Osama bin Laden.

That’s why banning torture

Police cases hold U.S. focus “There’s something happening here.”

— Buffalo Springfield “Can you feel it?”

— The Jacksons They have not stopped.

That’s one of the most heartening things about the demonstrations against police brutality that began with the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., in August and renewed with a grand jury’s decision last week not to indict a New York police officer who choked Eric Garner to death.

In a nation with the attention span of a toddler in the toy department, the focus on this issue has not wavered, as evidenced by several demonstrations last weekend in Miami.

And most people, remember, are marching in places far less hospitable to outdoor protest than South Florida.

It’s December, after all, and while it’s a balmy 74 degrees in Miami as these words are written, it is 45 in Ferguson, where they protested in the rain Friday night and 28 in New York, which has seen continuous demonstrations the last few days. The fact that these actions continue nationwide as the weather turns and have even spread across the ocean (there was a protest last month at the U.S. Embassy in London) is a sign this issue has staying power.

But what’s even more noteworthy is that this is not a “black” protest. To the contrary, images from these demonstrations show us that a rainbow coalition is offended by the message the injustice system sends in refusing to punish these killings, i.e., that it is somehow “OK” to kill unarmed African-American men and boys.

This very weekend,

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Take it as a reminder that people who are not black nevertheless have the ability to locate — and defend — the humanity of people who are.”

churches of many different denominations are holding “Black Lives Matter” services, calling on congregants to dress in black and pray in solidarity with those who seem to always end up on the short end of “justice.”

Take it as a reminder that people who are not black nevertheless have the ability to locate — and defend — the humanity of people who are.

It is a reminder particularly apropos to a season where we often preach, but too seldom practice, peace on Earth and good will toward men and women. It is also a welcome rebuke of an era wherein certain media outlets and political figures discourage us from seeing ourselves in the faces of others.

Instead, they invite us to scorn those who love, worship, look, or behave differently, or who have less material wealth than ourselves.

They tell us to victimize the vulnerable, as if those people did not want the things

we all want, as if their fundamental humanity were somehow less than our own.

This rainbow coalition of protest seems a long overdue shout of resistance from the rest of us. To watch people take to the streets day after day — some in foolish and self-destructive violence, yes, but many more in dignified and creative civil disobedience — is to entertain a question as tantalizing as it is unanswerable. Is this the birth of a movement?

One is mindful of the folly of attempting to read the future. Remember how quickly the Occupy movement went from boom to bust?

Yet one is also mindful of something Occupy demonstrated and these protests reiterate: There is a great pent-up energy among us, a yearning and demand from people fed up with the calumnies, evasions, expediences and pious hypocrisies that have too long been paraded as moral rectitude. But real moral rectitude would not turn a blind eye to Michael Brown or Eric Garner. Nor to the hungry, the demonized, the poor or the stranger at the gate yearning to breathe free.

This month makes 59 years since another group of Americans similarly fed up with false moral rectitude gathered at a church in Montgomery, Ala. There, a 26-year-old preacher named King detonated all that pent-up energy, distilled their stored-up pain, frustration and resentment into eight simple words: “There comes a time,” he said, “when people get tired.”

Is it too much to hope that time has come again?

is a moral choice: Because in doing so, we may indeed lose useful information. That’s the risk we take in doing the right thing.

What’s least convincing about the report is its picture of an agency that maliciously deceived the rest of the government. This revives the notion of the CIA as a “rogue elephant” that was propounded by the Frank Church Committee in the 1970s but has been rebutted by many historians. The real story of intelligence abuses in the 1950s and ‘60s is that they were ordered by presidents or their henchmen, who didn’t want to know the dirty details.

This ambiguity comes through in an Aug. 2, 2002, memo after Condoleezza Rice, then national security adviser, was told the Justice Department had approved waterboarding and the other techniques we now describe as torture: “’Dr. Rice had been informed that there would be no briefing of the president on this matter,’ but that the (CIA director) had policy approval to employ the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques.”

And so it began.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 11, 1914: years “This afternoon ago while Mrs. Lydia IN 1914 Leslie was upstairs at her home, 1216 Tennessee St., some one entered the back door of the house and went through the house for money. Looking in a drawer which was unlocked a purse was found which contained about $30. The burglar took the money, left the purse, locked the drawer and took the key with him, and no one knew of his being there until Mrs. Leslie went to get her money. ... The police were immediately called and they went over the situation but no clue of the robber was found. The neighbors were closely questioned but they had seen no one enter or leave the house by the back door. The burglar left the back door open in departing.”

“Prof. L. L. Dyche, state fish and game warden, will ask the legislature to require all fishermen to pay a license of $1.00 a year for the privilege of fishing in the streams of the State of Kansas. Only children of less than 15 years will be exempt from the tax, and the money will be used to support the state fish hatchery.”

“The hearing of divorce cases occupied the time of the District court yesterday and today. In the suit for divorce brought by Alda M. Williams against Roland R. Williams costs were assessed against the plaintiff and the old couple advised by Judge Smart to go home and forget their trivial difficulties.”

“We’re going to be rolling out and pushing additional things that we can do to address the KPERS long-term situation,” Brownback said. “There’s a couple of different options that people are researching now.”

The state pension system’s projected benefits for retirees are 60 percent funded over the next two decades, but that figure was expected to rise over time until fully covered by 2033. The law enacted two years ago also boosted employees’ contributions.

“He (Brownback) wants to start this underfunding all over again,” said Ernie Claudel, a retired Olathe teacher and school administrator who is also vice chairman of a retirees’ coalition. “He is pressuring the Legislature to go back on its word.”

Brownback remains bullish about the state’s prospects, saying it is “on the rise,” with healthy private-sector job growth and low unemployment.

The budget-balancing plan outlined Tuesday does not tackle the additional projected $436 million shortfall for the next fiscal year, beginning in July.

That figure assumes poor school districts keep receiving additional aid mandated by the Kansas Supreme Court in a still-pending 2010 education funding lawsuit and the state continues to cover higherthan-anticipated costs tied to school construction projects and equipment. Together, those items amount to $253 million in the current budget, according to Brownback’s administration.

“That’s hard to continue,” the governor said.

Budget Director Shawn Sullivan said during an interview Tuesday that the administration would work with legislators on “structural reforms” in how aid to schools is distributed, without being more specific.

Pressed Wednesday for details, Brownback said, “We’re looking at everything.”

The CIA is now in the uncomfortable position of defending itself publicly, given its basic mission to protect the country secretly. Its 136-page rebuttal suggests Senate Democrats searched through millions of documents to pull out only the evidence backing up pre-determined conclusions.

Challenging one of the report’s most explosive arguments — that harsh interrogation techniques didn’t lead to Osama bin Laden — the CIA pointed to questioning of Ammar al-Baluchi, who revealed how an al-Qaida operative relayed messages to and from bin Laden after he departed Afghanistan.

Before then, the CIA said, it only knew that courier Abu Ahmad al-Kuwaiti interacted with bin Laden in 2001 when the al-Qaida leader was accessible to many of his followers.

$279 million shortfall in the state’s current budget. The gap followed aggressive personal income tax cuts in 2012 and 2013 enacted at Brownback’s urging. They were designed to boost the economy.

Brownback’s budgetbalancing plan avoids cutting spending on state universities and aid to public schools, but Brownback said the additional K-12 funding in the current budget can’t be sustained in coming years.

The plan drew quick, bipartisan criticism because Brownback diverted $41 million for the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System to general government programs.

Those funds were promised under a 2012 law for stabilizing the pension system’s longterm financial health, and GOP State Treasurer Ron Estes said Wednesday other alternatives should be considered.

Brownback defended the reduction in the pension contributions by noting it helped him avoid cuts immediate cuts in education spending. He said the state has made “a

Washington — Top spies past and present campaigned Wednesday to discredit the Senate’s investigation into the CIA’s harrowing torture practices after 9/11, battling to define the historical record and deter potential legal action around the world.

The Senate intelligence committee’s report doesn’t urge prosecution for wrongdoing, and the Justice Department has no interest in reopening a criminal probe. But the threat to former interrogators and their superiors was underlined as a U.N. special investigator demanded those responsible for “systematic crimes” be brought to justice, and human rights groups pushed for the arrest of key CIA and Bush administration figures if they travel overseas.

officials pushed back, determined to paint the Senate report as a political stunt by Senate Democrats tarnishing a program that saved American lives. It is a “onesided study marred by errors of fact and interpretation — essentially a poorly done and partisan attack on the agency that has done the most to protect America,” former CIA directors George Tenet, Porter Goss and Michael Hayden wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece.

The intelligence committee’s 500-page release concluded that the CIA inflicted suffering on alQaida prisoners beyond its legal authority and that none of the agency’s “enhanced interrogations” provided critical, life-saving intelligence. It cited the CIA’s own records, documenting in detail how waterboarding and lesserknown techniques such as “rectal feeding” were actu-

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD BRANNEN GREENE (14) CELEBRATES A THREE-POINTER during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 75-70 victory over Georgetown on Wednesday in Washington. Greene was 5-for-5 from long range. At left is G’town forward Paul White.

Washington — Georgetown’s basketball fans, who had already seen Brannen Greene swish four threes in four tries, let out a collective groan as Greene, Kansas University’s 6-foot-7 sophomore guard, prepared to let another fly during crunch time of the Jayhawks’ 75-70 victory over the Hoyas on Wednesday night in Verizon Center.

“They knew the same thing we did, that he was gonna make it,” KU forward Landen Lucas said with a smile.

The concern of the 11,000 or so Hoyas fans in the crowd of 14,164 — KU again had a large contingent of fans — was well founded, as Greene indeed hit a fifth three with 2:34 left, upping a 65-63 lead to five points.

“I loved that three, honestly,” said Greene, who confessed he did hear the crowd sigh before he attempted that final trey. “It was a big three for me, and I enjoyed it. We had designed a new play we put in called ‘ear.’ It broke down. Wayne (Selden, seven points, three assists) drove to the middle.

Landen set a big-time screen that wasn’t part of the play.

I found myself wide-open, took it and knocked it down.”

Greene also hit two free throws, raising a 71-67 lead to six points at :15.3. For the night, he tallied a careerhigh 19 points off 5-of-6 shooting (his old career Please see KANSAS, page 4B

G’town could be watershed for Oubre Washington — In team sports, confidence for a struggling player almost always starts building when that player has reason to believe he made a major contribution to a victory.

For ballyhooed freshman recruit Kelly Oubre, that seed took root Wednesday

night in the Verizon Center, where Georgetown’s tough defense made the visitor play ugly, but not ugly enough to lose.

KU toughed out a 75-70 victory, and Oubre made himself part of the action, and his positive plays outweighed his negative ones.

Oubre set career highs in minutes (16), points (seven), rebounds (five), steals (two) and free throws (5 of 6).

As soon as he checked in, Oubre hesitated defensively and didn’t lend needed help, but he quickly lost that tentative approach and consistently played aggres-

sively. He drove hard to the hoop and drew fouls.

“I love my team,” Oubre said. “We showed some signs down the stretch that we’re going to be great.

Definitely my minutes were important.

KU puts three on coaches’ All-Big 12 team

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Two days after earning a second-team All-Big 12 honor from the Associated Press, Kansas University cornerback JaCorey Shepherd received a promotion of sorts from the league’s coaches.

Shepherd, a senior who finished third in the nation with 19 pass break-ups during the 2014 season, earned first-team All-Big 12 honors in a vote of the conference’s coaches revealed Wednesday by the Big 12.

The former wide receiver who switched to cornerback near the end of the

2012 season plucked three interceptions and allowed just two passing touchdowns all season. His six passes defended in KU’s 34-14 victory over Iowa State marked the most in the country this season by a player in one game.

Shepherd joined Ben Heeney, a senior linebacker who finished second in the Big 12 with 127 tackles and led the nation in solo tackles per game (7.3), on the first team. His 21 tackles in KU’s loss at Texas Tech were the most in a game by a Big 12 player this season, and his 17 solo stops in that game were the second-most in conference history.

Trevor Pardula, a senior punter who led the Big 12 with a 44.3-yard average on 83 punts, also earned firstteam honors. Heeney and Pardula earned first-team All-Big 12 honors from the AP earlier this week.

Wednesday’s announcement marked the first time any KU player had been voted by the coaches to the All-Big 12 first team since wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe in 2009.

It also was the largest number of KU players picked to the first team since 2007, when KU’s Orange Bowl championship squad landed four players on the list.

Also honored were senior tight end Jimmay Mundine, a second-team All-Big 12 selection, and senior defensive end Michael Reynolds and senior safety Cassius Sendish, who earned honorable mentions.

The first-team honor was a first in the careers of all three Jayhawks. Heeney had been named second-team All-Big 12 during each of the past two seasons.

Shepherd wins Selmon Shepherd on Wednesday also won the Lee Roy Selmon Community Spirit Award, given annually to “athletes who go above the call of a student, amateur

or professional athlete by demonstrating a deep care for others and their commuShepherd nity.”

Best known off the field for his work in the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program, Shepherd also was involved in a dozen or so other community outreach efforts during his time at KU and also was a twotime Academic All-Big 12 Heeney second-team honoree and a four-time Athletic Director’s Honor Roll member.

Shepherd, one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award, traveled to Tampa, Florida, to attend the banquet at which the Selmon award was handed out.

Oregon State football hires Wisconsin coach Andersen Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen has stepped down to become the head coach at Oregon State.

Andersen, the Badgers’ coach for the past two seasons, informed the team of his decision Wednesday afternoon, the school said.

Wisconsin (10-3) is scheduled to play in the Outback Bowl against Auburn (8-4) on Jan. 1.

Athletic director Barry Alvarez said he hoped to have a replacement in place by then.

Andersen replaces Andersen Mike Riley, who left the Pac-12’s Beavers to accept the head-coaching job at Nebraska after the dismissal of Bo Pelini. Oregon State finished this season 5-7 and had two conference wins, but one came at home against then-No. 7 Arizona State.

Andersen thanked Wisconsin in a prepared statement.

“We worked very hard together and accomplished some great things. I had the opportunity to meet and coach some great young men, and I look forward to watching them as they continue their careers and move through life,” he said.

The Badgers had an inconsistent sea-

But the season ended with a thud when the team was blown out by Ohio State, 59-0, in the Big Ten championship game.

Alvarez said he was taken aback by Andersen’s announcement.

“I thought Gary and his staff did a very good job. Nobody likes the way they played in the last game, but that happens occasionally,” Alvarez said. “I really don’t care about style of play on offense and defense, as long as it’s sound ... We were sound with what we did.”

Overall, Andersen was 19-7 as Wisconsin’s coach. He came to the Badgers from Utah State, where he spent four seasons.

Record-breaking Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon, a Heisman Trophy finalist, went to Twitter with his reaction, simply posting “WOW!!!”

Gordon leads the nation with 2,336 yards rushing and 179.7 yards per game.

He set the single-game FBS rushing record with 408 yards against Nebraska, a record that only stood for a week.

For Wisconsin, this is the second time in three years it has had its coach leave to take a job that seems like no more than a lateral move.

Conduct policy approved Irving, Texas — NFL owners unanimously approved changes to the league personal conduct policy Wednesday, but Commissioner Roger Goodell will retain authority to rule on appeals.

A special counsel for investigations and conduct will oversee initial discipline, Goodell said.

“This will be a highly qualified individual with a criminal justice background hired as soon as possible for the newly created position,” Goodell said. “The person will oversee our investigations and decide the discipline for violations of the policy.”

The commissioner also may appoint a panel of independent experts to participate in appeals.

After the Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson cases, a more extensive list of prohibited conduct will be included in the policy, as well as specific criteria for paid leave for anyone charged with a violent crime.

SCOREBOARD

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL AT A GLANCE Who: Kansas at Purdue When: 6 p.m. today Where: Mackey Arena, West Lafayette, Indiana Series: Purdue leads, 3-1 n Time to take the next step: The Jayhawks just played their best game of the season on Sunday, dominating Cal (ranked No. 10 at the time) at Allen Fieldhouse in a 23-point win.

KU out rebounded the favored Bears by 15 and held them to 24-percent shooting and just 39 points.

What did all of that mean to Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson?

“It allows me to expect

more from them,” she said.

“Now they’re telling on themselves, because they’ve really got a chance to be pretty good.”

The coach will expect a win in the team’s first road game. The Boilermakers have lost three straight — to George Washington in the Bahamas, Florida State at home (overtime) and at Dayton. n Streaking: KU’s threepoint shooting played an integral part in its last two victories. Combined, against Incarnate Word and Cal, the Jayhawks made 15 of 23 from deep, thanks to Natalie Knight and Asia Boyd each shooting 6-for-8.

n Slumping: KU has gotten sloppy with the ball in its past three games, averaging 20.7 turnovers. Backup freshman guard Terriell Bradley has 16 of the giveaways in that stretch.

Hoyas’ shirts show ‘condolences’

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Washington — The Georgetown basketball players, to a man, wore “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirts during warmups and the national anthem before Wednesday night’s 75-70 loss to Kansas University.

Hoyas senior center Joshua Smith explained that they did so to support the family of Eric Garner, who died in New York City after a policeman put him in a chokehold while arresting him for selling loose cigarettes.

Garner’s last words were, “I can’t breathe.”

Georgetown’s T-shirts were worn one week after a New York grand jury decided not to indict the police officer, which led to a number of NBA players wearing similar T-shirts.

“We didn’t wear the shirts to say that the cops were wrong or that the system was wrong, we just wore the shirts to show our condolences to the family,” Josh

GEORGETOWN PLAYERS TAKE THE COURT WEARING “I CAN’T BREATHE” T-SHIRTS in support of the family of Eric Garner before tipoff against Kansas. Garner died after being choked by a New York city police officer, who was not indicted in a recent grand-jury decision.

Smith said after totaling 20 points, five rebounds, two blocks and two steals. “Because no matter who you look at it, we don’t know who was right or wrong, but they still lost somebody, and they won’t get that person back, so that was the main reason we wanted

to wear the shirts, just to say we’re aware of what’s going on.

“We’re not choosing sides. We’re not saying who was right or who was wrong. We’re just looking out for the family because they’re the most important people right now in this whole thing because

with all the protests going on, they lost somebody.”

Teammate D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera added: “There were a variety of reasons we wanted to wear the shirts. There were quite a few families that lost their loved one ... with the Mike Brown case and Trayvon Martin, also. We

really wanted to represent all those families and send our condolences that way.”

Georgetown coach John Thompson III said the entire team watched the verdict in the Ferguson, Missouri, case in which Brown died after being shot by a police officer in an Aug. 9 incident and the grand jury decided not to charge the officer. Since then, Thompson said, he has had several conversations with his team.

“I thought they wanted to do it the other day, and I thought it was important … before you jump out there, we had several conversations about what’s going on, and what does it mean, and why do you want to go out there?”

Thompson said.

Thompson stressed that the players did not wear the T-shirts to start a trend.

“The emotions and the feelings in the locker room are all over the place, meaning it’s not necessarily everyone feels the same way,” Thompson said.

“The emotions are from fear to frustration to confu-

sion to anger, and the reasons why every individual wanted to wear it is all over the place, too, which is probably pretty consistent with the emotions and the feelings across the country right now. I think the group wanted to possibly put ourselves in a position to be a part of a process to help where there is positive change as opposed to just negative reactions.”

When a reporter started a question by saying that his father, John Thompson, never hesitated to make a statement, the Hall of Fame coach, who was standing in the back of the room, joined the conversation.

“What did he say?”

Thompson the father said.

The reporter repeated what he had asked, and Thompson the father weighed in with his deep, strong voice.

“This is a (expletive) school, man,” the former Georgetown coach said.

“That’s your responsibility to deal with things like that. This is not a ... damn pro team.”

“I mean, I just play my role. It came to me. I took the shots, and I made the shots. There have been games I took five, six threes and didn’t make them. It was my night. Sometimes you see a big basket, and that’s what I saw tonight,” Greene added.

KU had a 13-point lead the first half but ultimately led by only two at the break.

The Jayhawks suffered 17 turnovers while hitting just 37.7 percent from the field. But several players stepped up on the most crucial possessions, including Frank Mason III (14 points), who cashed a three to bust a 58-58 tie at 7:45; Alexander, who busted a 61-61 tie with five minutes left; and Perry Ellis (13 points, 10 boards), who followed that with an inside shot to make it 65-61.

The Jayhawks survived a 20-point performance from huge 6-10, 350-pound center Josh Smith.

“Our guys said, ‘Gosh, we knew he was big; we had no idea.’ It’s hard to simulate how big he is until you guard him,” Self said. “Landen and Cliff are pretty strong guys. If it was a lunar eclipse, you’d never see ’em if Josh was standing between them. We actually did a decent job considering how strong he is.”

KU (7-1) will meet Utah at 2:15 p.m. Saturday in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF REACHES FOR A FIST BUMP from Brannen Greene after KU’s victory. At left is Kansas forward Perry Ellis.

NOTEBOOK

Self: Hoyas show solidarity

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Washington — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self did not notice that Georgetown’s players wore “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirts during pre-game warmups Wednesday in Verizon Center.

The shirts quote the final words of Eric Garner, a New Yorker who died in July after a police officer placed him in a chokehold during an arrest. On Dec. 3, a grand jury declined to indict the officer, sparking protests.

“I didn’t know until after the game,” said Self, who doesn’t arrive to the bench until just a few minutes before tip, thus didn’t see the Hoyas’ warmup drills with the Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos shirts. “It’s a pretty strong KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD KELLY OUBRE JR.

Svi has rough night: KU freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk started but played just five minutes and didn’t score.

“He wasn’t aggressive, didn’t play very well. I put him back in, and he threw the ball right to them. It’s nothing negative. I guess that’s what happens when you are playing a 17-yearold kid that should be a high school junior,” Self said. “To me, he’s as good an NBA prospect as we have. If you are going to grade him out at age 21, he’s going to grade out pretty high. I didn’t think tonight was going to be his night, so that’s why we didn’t play him.” l

Graham OK: KU freshman Devonté Graham sprained an ankle with 10 minutes left and didn’t return. “He turned his ankle. They re-taped it (in locker room). He’ll be sore, but he’ll be fine,” Self said, noting it wasn’t serious.

Frank Mason III, who sprained an ankle in KU’s victory over Florida on Dec. 5, scored 14 points.

Mason, of Petersburg, Virginia, and Graham, of Raleigh, North Carolina, had a batch of supporters in the stands.

“Frank and Devonté needed a lot of tickets,” Self said on the pregame radio show. “Frank had two buses (of people) that bought tickets in addition to all the people coming up. He’ll have 60, 70, 80 people here who are proud to see him play.” l

Cliff guards Smith: KU’s Cliff Alexander, 6-8, 240, guarded the 350-pound Smith at times.

“He was a big guy. I haven’t played anybody as big as him. He knew how to use his body. He’s a great player,” Alexander said. l

This, that: KU snapped Georgetown’s 33-game win streak in nonconference games in the Verizon Center. ... KU opened 3-of-12 shooting, then made six of eight to lead, 22-11. KU went without a field goal for six minutes, allowing a 15-1 Georgetown run. ... KU recorded its third-lowest shooting performance of the year (37.7 percent), but had its highest three-point percentage (58.8 percent) since going 11-for-18 (61.1 percent) against West Virginia (3/2/13). The 10 three-pointers made are the most since knocking down 10 of 22 at Iowa State (1/29/14).

Dear Annie: I have been with my husband for 10 years, and we have two children. Two years ago, I found out that he was bothering a 19-year-old woman. He was 30 at the time. We separated over this, but six months ago, we got back together.

Now when I ask about this young woman, his story keeps changing.

He says they were just friends, and then he says he tried getting together with her after we separated. He admits he still cares about her.

Here’s the current problem: This woman has a young child and uses the same daycare center that I do. I see her whenever I drop off my children. I jump through hoops to make sure my husband isn’t the one dropping off the kids, because I don’t want him to run into her.

Annie’s Mailbox

This situation is driving me crazy, but my family members tell me I should stay with my husband because we have kids and because he quit drinking. So do I stay and look the other way, or should I leave?

— Only Questions Dear Questions: You have another option. For your marriage to succeed, you need to know that your husband will not pursue this young woman, and he hasn’t responded in a way that

‘Dinosaur’ a grandiose true story Some documentaries cry out for dramatic adaptation. Featuring a story fit for Frank Capra or Steven Spielberg, the 2014 documentary “Dinosaur 13” (8 p.m., CNN) offers a tale of oldfashioned American pluck and a David-and-Goliath struggle in which the little guy doesn’t exactly triumph.

Filmmaker Todd Douglas Miller records a momentous discovery by amateur paleontologist Susan Hendrickson. While waiting for her team leader, Peter Larson, to fix a flat on their rusty truck, she stumbled upon an outcropping of strange material that turned out to be the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found. Working in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, Larson’s team excavated the dinosaur it named “Sue” (after Hendrickson), and transported it to Larson’s private museum in South Dakota.

It was the achievement of a lifetime — and the beginning of a nightmare. Before Larson’s team had a chance to unpack Sue, it was set upon by dozens of federal agents, National Guard and even military units. The government contended that Sue was property stolen from Native American and government land.

“Dinosaur 13” follows the torturous case and the eruption of public support for Larson in the small South Dakota town that would have benefited from dinosaur tourism. It also explores the government’s contention that Larson’s actions were quite similar to the looting of ancient artifacts from tribal lands and that he should be singled out as an example.

“Dinosaur 13” contains all of the elements of a grand saga, mixing elements of dumb luck, perseverance, vision and the hard fate of a man who sets off forces beyond his control and inherits a world of woe at the very moment of his greatest triumph.

Tonight’s other highlights

The 200th episode of “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox) is shot in the style of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Gee, that’s never been done before.

The ocean inspires on “The Taste” (7 p.m., ABC).

Danny’s killer is revealed on the series finale of “Gracepoint” (8 p.m., Fox). Another fall disappointment for Fox comes to an end.

merits your trust. Because you have children, please make an effort to work on this before giving up. Ask your husband to go with you for counseling. If he refuses, go without him. Your doctor or clergyperson can refer you.

Dear Annie: I am a veteran. I served proudly and now have a decent job in the civilian workforce. I appreciate everything that our country does to honor our nation’s veterans and their families, from the parades and ceremonies to the business discounts and free meals.

But I often wonder why veterans are not provided with a “holiday” from work on Veterans Day to attend these ceremonies, have lunch or just spend time with their families. To attend these functions, veterans must apply for

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Dec. 11: This year you open up to having more compassion for others. You are likely to develop a stronger relationship with your friends and family as a result. You might be stunned when you see the difference that accepting love can make. If you are single, you are likely to go through several different relationships before you find someone you can respect who knows how to love well. If you are attached, the two of you will spend more and more time together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Holding back and thinking before you act might not be as successful as you had hoped. Tonight: Add spice to a relationship.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) A partner or loved one might make a suggestion that could affect your financial situation. Tonight: Happiest at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Be willing to break a standoff and make an important phone call. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to take a hard look at your finances and decide what would be best to do.

Tonight: Relax with friends.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone could be a

vacation time. Many therefore choose not to attend.

If Veterans Day honors this nation’s veterans, why can’t we change the law by giving veterans the day off without penalty? — Answered the Call Dear Answered: It does seem logical that those being honored would get the day off.

Veterans Day is a federal holiday, meaning most government offices are closed. Many non-governmental businesses also close on Veterans Day, but it is not mandatory. We suggest you talk to your boss about this for next year and see whether some accommodation can be worked out.

little too contentious for your taste. Tonight: Ever playful.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of your limits, and recognize that you just might not be up to snuff. Tonight: Not to be found.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Zero in on what you want, and don’t allow someone to push you too far. Tonight: Found among the crowds.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be wondering what the best way to handle someone would be. Tonight: A must appearance.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You know where to head to get more information. Do not jump to conclusions. Tonight: Paint the town red.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You relate well to others, especially if they are authentic and clear. Tonight: Find a favorite person.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others are likely to have a lot to say. Keep an open mind. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s plans.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be taken aback by all the possibilities that surround you. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

eileen’s Colossal Cookies 4931 W. 6th St., Suite 124, Lawrence 785-856-BAKE Eileen’s Colossal Cookies woke up at dawn on Nov. 17 to accomplish making some of the best cookies in Lawrence.

They artfully prepared the delicious cookies for the contestants to sample and judge. It took the better part of the day toiling with rolling pins, mixing bowls and ovens to bake the 20 finalist cookies from recipes submitted by newspaper readers for judgment by the sweet-toothed panel of judges.

Becky Johansen, the owner of Eileen’s Colossal Cookies, Mona Casey, Iris Bland, Wanda Hunt and Natasha Kopriva made up the team of bakers. This was the second year that the bakery has sponsored the cookie contest. Becky’s favorite cookie that her team baked for the competition was the gooey, Kitchen Sink Cookies.

“Everyone loves cookies,” said Becky, when asked about what

motivates her. “It’s a way of making everyone’s day.”

Becky says the most popular cookies at the bakery are the snickerdoodles and, for kids in particular, the frosted sugar cookies. The bakery also caters ‘Colossal’ cookies for offices, birthday parties, and other events. Eileen’s also sells cookie dough for people who’d rather bake their own – and also to nonprofits and other organizations raising money for bake sales. Becky says, substantial sums for good causes have been raised from their dough.

Becky has owned and operated Eileen’s Cookies for more than two years! Becky’s team at the shop as shown left are Colter Scott, Calihan Scott, Natasha Kopriva, Becky Johansen and Rayanne Dowell, who work together to make the best cookie for your home, family, friends or for a work event!

C

Jane hon These are a little time consuming to make; however, they are very tasty and pretty to serve. I have used this recipe for many years, as it was given to me by a longtime family friend.

ingredients: 1 Cup sour Cream 1 Envelope Dry Yeast (reg) 1 Cup Butter 1 Cup Shortening (Crisco) 3 egg Yolks - large 1 Whole large egg 5 Cups All-purpose Flour sugar Strawberry Jam (or your choice)

Directions: Mix sour cream and yeast in small bowl. Melt butter and shortening in saucepan (or microwave); cool to lukewarm. Put flour in large mixing bowl, add sour cream mixture, butter mixture, egg yolks and egg. Mix thoroughly. Cover bowl and chill overnight.

To form Roskis, scoop out a baseball size piece of dough. Form into a ball. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup sugar onto rolling surface, then roll into a circle. (Sugar will become embedded in dough.) Cut circle into about eight wedge-shaped pieces. At the wide end of each wedge, place 3/4 teaspoon of jam. Starting at the wide edge, roll dough to point of wedge, (i.e. crescent roll). Place Roskis about 1 inch apart on baking sheet lined with foil. Repeat with more sugar and dough until all dough is used.

Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes or until lightly brown. Remove and cool on rack.

sam hunsaker My older sister made these and gave me the recipe when I was looking for something fun to make with my children. Now grown with kids of their own, these cookies are still shared every year as a tradition.

ingredients: ½ Cup Butter 3 Cups Oatmeal (Regular Oatmeal NOT Quick) 2 Cups sugar 1 tsp. Vanilla 1 Cup applesauce ½ Cup Finely Chopped nuts

Directions: Melt butter in saucepan. Add sugar, applesauce and salt to melted butter. Bring to boil and boil for 1 minute. Add oatmeal, nuts and vanilla. Drop by teaspoon full, roll into a ball and place on waxed paper. Let dry and cool or refrigerate to cool quickly. When room temperature, roll in powdered sugar and store in an airtight container.

energy bites martha marples My daughter started making these as a healthier alternative to no-bake cookies. They soon became a family favorite!

ingredients: 1 Cup old-Fashioned oats 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter (eye ball it and use more, probably 3/4 cup) 1/2 Cup ground Flaxseed 1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips or Cacao Nibs (I use mini chocolate chips) 1/3 Cup Honey (agave nectar is a healthier option) 2 tbsp. Chia seeds 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract (don’t use too much, b/c the alcohol doesn’t burn off, as these cookies are not baked)

Directions: Throw all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Once you have achieved the correct consistency-not too dry, not too sticky-use a spoon or cookie scoop to make a quarter-sized ball, and roll the dough into a sphere.

Place on lined baking sheets and place in the fridge or freezer. Once they harden up, put them in an airtight container and leave them in the freezer. Also feel free to keep in the fridge or at room temp. Spice this recipe up by adding coconut, chopped fruit or nuts (apricots, dates, raisins, anything). Just keep in mind you might have to add more honey or peanut butter to get the balls to form.

arbor Court retirement Community 1510 St. Andrews Drive, Lawrence 785-841-6845 This year the Cookie Contest was judged at the Arbor Court Retirement Community at Alvamar.
