Woodlawn celebrates prestigious award with prominent alumna

Tania Jackson retains plenty of memories from her elementary years: jumping to touch the tops of door jambs, schooling boys in gym and looking up to — and at — her dedicated teachers at Woodlawn School.

Now that she’s a 6-foot 2-inch forward for the Kansas Jayhawks, those days may be gone. But at least some of her biggest lessons still endure.

“I want to go to the library,” Jackson said at the school Friday morning, as a supporter lauded her athletic exploits. “I’m better in there.”

Jackson’s allegiance to academics isn’t going anywhere, something to which Woodlawn’s students, their teachers and administrators can now relate.

Jackson joined Coach Bonnie Henrickson and Rick Doll, superintendent of the Lawrence school district, in congratulating Woodlawn for being named a National Blue Ribbon School for 2010.

The designation, from the U.S. Department of Education, went to only 304 schools nationwide. Recipients are described as having students who achieve at very high levels or have made significant progress and helped close gaps in achieve-

ment, especially among disadvantaged and minority students.

“This is a really, really big deal,” Doll told the students during an allschool assembly.

His message for educators, who have used testing data to focus instructional efforts: “I’m in awe of what you’ve been able to accomplish.”

Henrickson lauded the kids for their hard work, sacrifice, discipline and pride in achieving blue-ribbon status.

“At the athletic department, we are so proud of you, of what you’ve done,

District Judge Peggy Kittel said each count carries a penalty of 25 years to life in prison.

Energy focus this year to be on awareness, efficiency Smart meters, friendly competition coming this way

what you’ve accomplished,” Henrickson said, on stage. “I’m here to congratulate you, tell you how proud we are, and how proud we are to have one of your alumni in our program … and (share) how much pride she takes in being successful in school.”

Amid a steady stream of cheers, Henrickson introduced the assembly’s “rock star”: the redshirt freshman who started her education, just like the 240 children listening intently from the floor, as a Woodlawn Riverhawk.

Relatively speaking, the door jambs may be lower now, the hoops may be closer, and everyone in the building may be shorter. But Jackson’s focus hasn’t changed a bit.

“Focus on school,” Jackson told them. “Just keep up the hard work.

I’m very proud of you. And Rock Chalk Jayhawk!”

And with that, Jackson greeted students, posed for pictures and shared stories with teachers still around from the old days. More words of encouragement. Lots of smiles.

“I want to go to the library,” she said, and a few moments later Jackson and her coach would be heading down the hallway.

The federal stimulus dollars that have been earmarked for energy efficiency may finally make their way into your home this year. But don’t look for cold, hard cash.

2011 will be the year that Lawrence residents can take advantage of smart meters, help the community win a $100,000 energy grant and tap into the state’s energy-efficiency loan program.

Thanks to a $19 million grant from

the federal government, Westar Energy will be installing smart meters in all Lawrence homes and businesses this year.

Residents will be able to go online and see their energy usage broken down by hourly increments, information that is provided one day later.

Customers can also set up text-message alerts to warn them when a bill reaches a certain level each month or when there is a power outage.

Starting in January, Westar will install the first 1,500 meters in the Deerfield neighborhood. The rest of

the meters will start going up in May. In all, 45,000 will be deployed throughout the city.

“There is just a lot of interest in Part 13 in a series: what the technolENERGY ogy is, how it works, how it can help improve service,” Hal Jensen, the director of the Lawrence SmartStar program, said at a recent open house in Lawrence.

While customers can choose not to do anything at all with the infor-

mation these smart meters provide, Westar will begin offering pilot rate plans for those who voluntarily want to participate. The idea is that energy will cost more during the times of day when demand is at its highest and cost less during times of low use.

Along with being the guinea pig for smart meters, Lawrence will get to participate in another citywide energy experiment in 2011: the Take Charge Challenge.

Over nine months, Lawrence will compete against Manhattan to see which city can conserve the most Please see ENERGY, page 6A

Man pleads guilty to sex abuse CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

There was no plea agreement in the case with prosecutor Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, Clarke said.

Kittel last month sentenced Brown’s wife, Natasha M. Brown, 34, to serve 28 months in prison after a jury in October convicted her of two counts of aggravated child endangerment and one count of lewd and lascivious behavior. The girls are now 9 and 11 years old.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said prosecutors were happy with the pleas and the fact the girls would not have to testify again.

“We would not have been able to reach this outcome without the solid investigative work of law enforcement and the bravery of the victims to confront their abuser,” Branson said.

The girls’ family from Topeka met the Browns through Heritage Baptist Church, which is northwest of Lawrence. Prosecutors have said that in May the girls talked to their parents, accusing Donald Brown of having sex with them. Lawrence police later arrested the Browns.

The girls and their siblings would stay with the Browns in Lawrence on weekends or during the week in between school and church events.

During Natasha Brown’s trial, both girls testified to several instances when Donald Brown had sex with them and molesting them from June 2008 to May 2010. Prosecutors also said Natasha Brown told police she thought her husband was sexually “grooming” the girls.

Kittel gave Natasha Brown a harsher sentence — normally the convictions warranted probation due to her lack of criminal history — because she said Brown did nothing to try to stop the abuse even though the girls’ parents entrusted them to the Browns.

Kittel is scheduled to sentence Donald Brown March 4.

A rural Tonganoxie man was shot Thursday in Kansas City, Kan., while he was cleaning a rental property.

Bradley Willis, 24, of rural Tonganoxie, said Friday that his brother, Jake Willis, 18, Tonganoxie, and his brother’s friend, Zach Langston, also 18, were helping him clean his rental property about 5 p.m.

Thursday when a former tenant arrived at the residence.

An argument ensued, and the man threatened to get a gun and return to the residence in the 4500 block of Rowland. At that point, Bradley Willis called 911 and the man left, he said.

About 10 minutes later, the

Bradley Willis was in the yard when the shots were fired.

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

House takes step to repeal health law House Republicans cleared a hurdle Friday in their first attempt to scrap President Barack Obama’s landmark health care overhaul, yet it was little more than a symbolic swipe at the law.

The real action is in states, where Republicans are using federal courts and governors’ offices to lead the assault against Obama’s signature domestic achievement, a law aimed at covering nearly all Americans.

In a post-election bow to tea partiers by the new GOP House majority, Republican lawmakers are undertaking an effort to repeal the health care law in full knowledge that the Democratic Senate will stop them from doing so.

Republicans prevailed Friday in a 236-181 procedural vote, largely along party lines, that sets the stage for the House to vote next week on the repeal.

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Jobs report shows a growing economy Beneath the numbers in Friday’s government report on employment in December, the dominant trend is clear — the economy is continuing to recover slowly, and to add jobs slowly, and analysts agree that 2011 looks more promising than 2010.

However, the numbers in December’s report itself were somewhat confusing. The unemployment rate dropped sharply to 9.4 percent, down from 9.8 percent. But employers added only 103,000 jobs during the month — far fewer than expected.

Moreover, analysts think that as the recovery gains traction, the unemployment rate is likely to rise anew, as jobless workers who had given up looking plunge anew into the job market and thus get counted as looking for work.

So while the long-term trend is clear — a slowly improving economy and job market — the month-tomonth data is a little erratic.

Forecasters had expected that December might be when the economy turned the corner to strong hiring, with most projections showing 175,000 new jobs or more, so the 103,000 net job total was both surprising and disappointing, if still positive.

2 | ATLANTA

Too much fluoride causing splotchy teeth In a remarkable turnabout, federal health officials say many Americans are now getting too much fluoride because of its presence not just in drinking water but in toothpaste, mouthwash and other products, and it’s causing splotches on children’s teeth and perhaps more serious problems.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced plans Friday to lower the recommended level of fluoride in drinking water for the first time in nearly 50 years, based on a fresh review of the science.

The announcement is likely to renew the battle over fluoridation, even though the addition of fluoride to drinking water is considered one of the greatest public health successes of the 20th century. The U.S. prevalence of decay in at least one tooth among teens has declined from about 90 percent to 60 percent.

The government first began urging municipal water systems to add fluoride in the early 1950s.

Since then, it has been put in toothpaste and mouthwash. It is also in a lot of bottled water and in soda.

Judge ends her tenure on high note

It was a happy ending.

Like so many Douglas County children whose cases District Judge Jean Shepherd has handled during her long career on the bench, two girls had their time in Shepherd’s courtroom come full circle Friday.

Shepherd in her final hearing as a judge before retirement finalized the adoptions of Jasmine June Hawk, 11, and Monica Kate O’Connell, 5.

“I’ve known about you for so long,” Shepherd said to Monica during the hearing. “And this is a wonderful, happy day.”

The judge had presided over the Lawrence girls’ cases in the past when the state filed childin-need-of-care cases, and on Friday she was there to award custody to new parents for each of the girls.

A Kansas Highway Patrol spokesman Friday warned drivers about taking extra precaution to make sure trailers are secured to their vehicles after a Raytown, Mo., man was injured in a crash Thursday afternoon on Kansas Highway 10 near De Soto.

trailer on K-10 east of Lawrence since October.

The highway patrol Friday identified the Missouri man and a Eudora woman as the two people taken to hospitals after Thursday’s crash that happened about 3:45 p.m. near Lexington Avenue.

According to the report, Barry L. Clemons, 44, of Raytown, was injured when his westbound 2005 Chevrolet truck was struck by a trailer that came loose from an eastbound vehicle.

After the collision with the trailer, a westbound 2008 Toyota Avalon then struck Clemons’ truck.

Clemons was taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center with disabling injuries, and he was listed in critical but stable condition Friday, said Shannon Peyton, a hospital spokeswoman. The report states Clemons was not wearing a seat belt.

The Toyota’s driver, Joanne K. Kite, 49, Eudora, who wore a seat belt, was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where she was treated and later released, an LMH spokeswoman said.

The trailer crossed the median after it came unhitched from an eastbound 2000 Chevrolet Silverado truck driven by Jerold D. Evans, 56, of Lawrence. No one was injured in Evans’ vehicle.

Dickinson said Friday troopers were still finishing the accident report but that he expected Evans to receive a citation for failing to secure a load.

The trooper said the highway patrol advises drivers to make sure they have the correct size of hitch ball to secure the trailer.

He also said drivers should verify their vehicle can handle the weight of the trailer and that the chains would be adequate to hold the trailer.

Fort Leavenworth soldiers prepare for deployment

By Elvyn Jones

FAMILIES OF FORT LEAVENWORTH SOLDIERS gather Friday at a deployment ceremony. The soldiers are being sent on a mission to Iraq for a year.

ejones@theworldco.info

FORT LEAVENWORTH — Having just been warned by her commander that a difficult yearlong mission awaited in Iraq, 1st Lt. Camille Acred said the biggest challenge was within arms’ reach.

“It’s being away from family,” she said with a 10-monthold daughter in her arms and her husband and two other children nearby. “We’re ready to go. We do this job every day here.”

Acred will deploy from Fort Leavenworth as one of about 150 soldiers with the Headquarters Company, 40th Military Police Battalion.

There, they will manage military internment centers and train Iraqis to take over once they leave.

At a deployment ceremony Friday at Fort Leavenworth, the battalion’s commander, Lt. Col. Erica Nelson, said the 40th’s soldiers would guard some of the most dangerous prisoners in the world while dealing with language barriers and training replacements.

“The best of the best is being sent to provide care and custody for the worst of the worst,” she said. “So strategic is this in nature that the smallest mistake can get international attention. Mark

my words, this is no easy challenge.”

But Nelson and the 15th Military Police Brigade commandant, Col. Eric Belcher, expressed confidence the 40th would succeed because of its experience at the disciplinary barracks, its preparations of about a year, the support it received from families and knowledge those families were receiving support from the Leavenworth and fort communities.

In addressing the departing soldier’s children, Belcher said that as an Army brat he knew what they were going through and how important their letters to par-

ents in Iraq would be.

Acred said the words helped as she prepared for a yearlong separation from her husband, Adam, and three children, Ariel, 10 months, Angelina, 7, and A.J., 12.

“It was nice they talked to the kids like that,” Acred said.

“I think it’s good to let them know it’s not all about the soldiers.”

Her son A.J. said he was ready to step up.

“I’ll look after things and cook when Dad’s not around,” he said.

BRIEFLY Insurance department recovers $10 million Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger’s office recovered more than $10 million in insurance claims for policyholders in 2010.

The recovery amount was lower than in previous years, she said, but that’s likely because there were 3,820 formal complaints — 600 fewer Praeger than in 2009.

The number of inquiries — 1,517 — remained steady.

Recoveries are funds returned to policyholders through settlement of claims disputes with insurance companies, based on inquiries and formal complaints filed with the department. These funds are above and beyond what companies had originally offered consumers to settle the claims.

Since Praeger, of Lawrence, took office in 2003, the Kansas Insurance Department has recovered nearly $97 million for Kansans.

Consumers with insurance questions or concerns can call the Consumer Assistance Hotline at 800-432-2484. Complaints or inquiries can be made in writing to the Kansas Insur-

ance Department, 420 S.W. Ninth St., Topeka, KS 66612 or online at ksinsurance.org.

charge stems from a 2008 aggravated battery related to a domestic violence incident.

Man faces 2nd-degree murder charge

Defendant in robbery case doesn’t enter plea

A Douglas County judge on Friday ordered a 26-year-old Lawrence man to stand trial on an attempted second-degree murder charge in connection with a Dec. 5 shooting at a south Lawrence apartment complex.

A trial is scheduled for April 18 for Dustin D. Walker on charges of attempted seconddegree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

District Judge Paula Martin made the decision Friday after a hearing when shooting victim Darrick Dew, 23, Lawrence, testified that someone shot him as he entered a party to find his sister early on Dec. 5 at South Pointe Apartments, 2310 W. 26th St. Dew, who was in a wheelchair, said he did not see who shot him. He said he spent two weeks in a Topeka hospital and still receives treatment for his wounds.

David Melton, a chief assistant district attorney, said a witness earlier at the preliminary hearing testified and said the shooter matched Walker’s description. Lawrence police arrested Walker four days later.

The felon-in-possession

A 20-year-old Lawrence man who is accused of taking part in a September robbery decided not to enter a plea in the case on Friday.

Jason Billam, the defense attorney for Christopher D. Self, on Friday told District Judge Peggy Kittel that Self had changed his mind after the defense last month had asked for a plea hearing.

Self is accused of driving two men to a south Lawrence apartment to commit a robbery.

Self’s two adult co-defendants in the case, Douglas Bittinger, 19, and Joshua Self, 18, face a Feb. 8 preliminary hearing on two counts of aggravated robbery, two counts each of aggravated battery and one count of conspiracy to commit robbery.

Prosecutors accuse the three men of participating in a scheme to use a gun to rob two 20-year-old Lawrence men on Sept. 6 at an apartment at The Exchange, 3100 Ousdahl Road. One victim was knocked unconscious from a head wound.

Two Lawrence boys, ages 16 and 17, also face the same counts in juvenile court.

Take Charge Challenge pits Lawrence vs. Manhattan

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

The Kansas University men’s basketball team won’t be the only ones ready with a game plan on Jan. 29 when the Jayhawks take on Kansas State University in a Kansas Day showdown.

A group of Lawrence officials met to map out their own offense Friday as part of the Take Charge Challenge. It’s a strategy that includes home energy audits, energy-saving light bulbs and community outreach.

Part of a statewide energy savings program, the Take Charge Challenge pits Lawrence against Manhattan to see which group of resi-

dents can save the most energy. The contest is for more than bragging rights. The city that garners the most participation after nine months will receive $100,000 to put toward a community renewable-energy or energy-efficiency project.

It should be no surprise that the Take Charge Challenge kickoff event coincides with the in-state rivalry.

The Jan. 29 kickoff will include a watch party for the KU and K-State men’s basketball game. The event will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Liberty Hall, 644 Mass.

“This is a family-friendly event that is a great way to build community spirit,” said Eileen Horn, who is the sus-

tainability coordinator for Douglas County and the city of Lawrence.

On Friday, a leadership team of about 20 people met at City Hall to discuss how to encourage people to conserve energy and win the contest.

Lawrence Vice Mayor Aron Cromwell said there was some “low-lying fruit” in energy efficiency upgrades that residents can do, such as improving lighting, windows and insulation in homes and businesses.

“Most of us have an understanding of what it is we basically need to do, but to actually achieve it is the concept of this contest. And it presents it in a fun way,” Cromwell said.

Some expressed the need and challenge of reaching college students who live in some of the most inefficient homes in town and the landlords who own the properties.

“That I think is the one thing that could bring about real savings, but it is going to take some extra thought,” said Jeff Weinberg, who is an assistant to the KU chancellor.

The Take Charge Challenge is sponsored through a $25,000 community block grant from the Kansas Energy Office and is coordinated by the Climate and Energy Project.

Brownback and other statewide elected officials are scheduled to be sworn in Monday on the south steps of the Statehouse. But the National Weather Service is forecasting a 90 percent chance of snow.

Brownback’s team initially chose a historic home near the

Statehouse as the alternate bad-weather site.

But the team decided Friday evening to use the Kansas House chamber as the backup site if necessary. Spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag says the chamber can hold more people, and sound from the ceremony can be streamed over the Internet.

Jones-Sontag says a final call on moving the inaugural indoors will be made by 4 p.m.

Sunday.

energy. The winner receives a $100,000 grant that will go toward a public energy-efficiency project.

The project will launch Jan. 29, the same day that the Kansas State University men’s basketball team plays Kansas University.

Sponsored by the Climate and Energy Project and the Kansas Energy Office, the contest will measure how the two cities stack up in three categories: ● Which city has the highest percentage of residents sign up for a home energy audit and then how many homeowners make changes based on the audit. ● Which community has the highest percentage of res-

idents participate in one of Westar’s energy-efficiency programs and change lights to compact fluorescent bulbs. ● Which city has the highest percentage of residents attend special energy-efficiency events.

“The exciting thing about the Take Charge Challenge, we aren’t creating any new programs,” said Eileen Horn, who is the sustainability coordinator for the city of Lawrence and Douglas County.

In 2011, Kansas residents will still be able to take advantage of the Efficiency Kansas program. More than a year ago, the state was awarded $38 million from the federal government to implement a revolving loan program, which offered a discounted

Architecture firm looks to move downtown City Commission to discuss proposal

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A $2 million project to relocate the offices of Treanor Architects to downtown Lawrence will be up for discussion by city commissioners Tuesday, in addition to a proposal to renovate the former Poehler warehouse building in east Lawrence.

On a night full of development proposals at City Hall, commissioners will hear a plan from Lawrence-based Treanor Architects to renovate and expand a longvacant building at 1040 Vt. “We think it will be a great use,” said Bill Fleming, an attorney for Treanor. “We want to take an older building

that needs some help and make it look nice.”

The project is asking for some incentives. The largest is use of the Neighborhood Revitalization Act. The act allows the city to rebate all or a portion of all new property taxes paid on a project for a 10-year period. Treanor’s group is seeking property tax rebates that start at 95 percent in the early part of the 10year period and fall to 20 percent by the end of the period.

Fleming estimates the average annual rebate would be about $49,000 a year.

The project is expected to bring about 70 jobs to downtown Lawrence. Currently, Treanor houses its 70 Lawrence employees in two offices outside of downtown.

Treanor also is asking that the city make it easier for the company’s employees to park in the adjacent two-hour city

parking lot. Treanor is asking that the company’s employees be allowed to purchase an annual long-term parking permit from the city. But Treanor wants the permit to allow people to park in the two-hour lot for up to 10 hours at time. But Fleming said the company is not asking for any of the spaces in the public lot to be reserved for employees. The annual parking passes currently cost $195 per year. Treanor is seeking an agreement with the city that would hold that annual price steady for 10 years.

City commissioners aren’t being asked to approve the project Tuesday. Instead, City Manager David Corliss said commissioners will have a chance to ask questions about the development.

Corliss said a likely next step would be to hold discussions with other businesses that

use the parking lot.

In a separate project, developers are seeking turn the Poehler building at 619 E. Eighth St. into 40 apartments.

A group led by the Kansas City area investment firm Krsnich Investment Group plans to spend $7 million to renovate the four-story, brick building. City commissioners on Tuesday are being asked to lend support to a historic tax credit application. Corliss said other incentives may be sought for the project in the future. The area is already part of a Neighborhood Revitalization district that was approved when Lawrence developer Bo Harris had planned improvements for the area. That project did not move forward.

Plan calls for building on city parking lot CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

the major points of the proposal: ● A five-story building would occupy the entire 1.4acre city-owned parking lot that stretches from Ninth Street to just south of Eighth Street. ● The city would be guaranteed at least 159 public parking spaces — the same amount that exists in the current lot — as part of the project. All the spaces would be covered parking. In addition, the project would have about 200 other parking spaces that would be reserved for apartments, offices and other users. In total, there would be three levels of parking — one below ground and two above ground. ● The project would include either 48 apartment units and 44,400 square feet of office space or 86 apartments and 12,000 square feet of office space, depending on office demand. The building near the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts also would have 15,000 square feet that developers ideally want to fill with a grocery store.

Supreme Court: Douglas County judge’s ruling in DUI case was wrong

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday ruled that a Douglas County judge was wrong to acquit a man charged with driving under the influence after a dispute arose about the accuracy of a breath test.

The case stems from the Aug. 19, 2007, arrest of Paul Finch. A sheriff ’s deputy stopped Finch for weaving in and out of his lane, according to court records.

He was taken to county jail where he submitted to a breath test. The Intoxilyzer 5000 measured a blood-alcohol content of .080 grams, which is above the legal limit to drive a car.

Finch’s attorney argued the reading was insufficient to find him guilty of DUI beyond a reasonable doubt. Testimony during the trial indicated the Intoxilyzer machine showed variances between simulated tests. A law enforcement officer testified the variances were within a normal range and that the simulations couldn’t exactly replicate when a person was tested.

But District Court Judge Robert Fairchild agreed with the defense, granting a motion to acquit. Finch pleaded guilty to a remaining charge of failure to maintain a lane. The Douglas County District Attorney’s office asked the Kansas Supreme Court to consider the issue.

The Supreme Court said Fairchild made a mistake.

“The fact that the defense challenged the reliability and accuracy of the state’s evidence, introducing the concept of margin of error and prompting the officer’s stubborn insistence that no Intoxilyzer error was possible, made the case one for the jury’s evaluation and deci-

sion,” wrote Justice Carol Beier. “By granting the motion for judgment of acquittal, the judge erred. The evidence was neither so weak nor so strong that acquittal or conviction was assured as a mater of law. The jury should have been permitted to discharge its duty,” Beier wrote.

Douglas County Assistant District Attorney Nicole Romine said the Supreme Court decision simply clarifies how judges should treat

cases where there is an argument over the accuracy of an Intoxilyzer result. Finch cannot be re-prosecuted on the DUI charge, she said.

But Romine said, “We are very happy with the result.”

She said the state Supreme Court ruling makes clear that juries should be allowed to weigh the arguments over an Intoxilyzer result.

ient right now the way it is.”

Brad Parsons — an owner of Marks Jewelers, 817 Mass.

— said he wants to learn more about the parking arrangements, but likes the idea of more people living and working in downtown.

“It sure seems like an idea well worth exploring with an open mind,” Parsons said. “I don’t see how more people living in downtown can do anything to hurt retail at all.”

The proposal comes just weeks after a group led by Lawrence businessman Doug Compton started construction on a seven-story apartment, office and retail building at Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

City commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

U.S. economy is improving but still fragile

Lawrence City Commission

WASHINGTON — “We have magneto trouble. How, then, can we start up again?” mused John Maynard Keynes in December 1930, likening the stagMike Amyx, mayor nant economy of the Great Depres2312 Free State Lane 66047 sion to a broken generator in an auto843-3089 (H) 842-9425 (W) mobile. Fear not, he wrote, the car mikeamyx515@hotmail.com eventually would get rolling again, and “we need not assume ... that Aron Cromwell, vice mayor motoring is over.”

Cromwell Environmental, As 2011 begins, many investors are 825 Vt., 66044, 749-6020 acting as if Keynes’ “magneto trouble” aroncromwell@gmail.com has been fixed. Stock markets are up Robert Chestnut as investors feel the return of “animal 5209 Fox Chase Drive 66049 spirits,” to use another of Keynes’ 764-3220 (H) graphic metaphors. robchestnut@sunflower.com The comments from financial analysts are upbeat, eerily so if you Michael Dever remember the recent past. “We see 1124 Oak Tree Drive 66049 equity markets trading strongly 550-4909 through 2011,” said Britain’s RBS. “We mdever@sunflower.com are in a bull market for sure,” enthused Lance Johnson John Lekas, a senior portfolio manag1730 Bobwhite Dr. 66047 er for Leader Capital.

838-3338 But is the economic engine really ljohnson@peridiangroup.com fixed? As Keynes would have noted, that’s partly a matter of perception. If investors believe that good times are Douglas County back and start investing on that expecCommission tation, then a virtuous cycle will take over: Growth will accelerate, manufacJim Flory, 540 N. 711 Road, turers will add more workers and build new plants; unemployment will fall; Lawrence 66047; 842-0054 consumers will spend more, and evenjimflory@sunflower.com tually we’re back to full prosperity.

Mike Gaughan, 304 Stetson Here’s how Keynes put it in his Circle, 66049; 856-1662; essay, which was titled “The Great mgaughan@douglas-county.com Slump of 1930.” The economic Nancy Thellman, 1547 N. 2000 decline, he said, was “probably a little Road 66046; 832-0031 nthellman@douglas-county.com

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

could go wrong with “thisWhat happy picture? Given that it’s composed of expectations about the future, almost everything …”

overdone for psychological reasons.”

The key to a “real recovery,” he explained, was the return of shared business confidence — “partly by lenders becoming ready to lend on easier terms and over a wider geographical field, partly by borrowers recovering their good spirits and so becoming readier to borrow.”

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is a good student of Keynesian psychology, which helps to clarify his controversial experiment with the monetary strategy known as “quantitative easing.” His goal was to change investors’ expectations, and thus alter the underlying reality.

By purchasing $600 billion in Treasury securities last fall (and thereby

flooding the economy with freshly printed cash), Bernanke hoped to make money so cheap, and fixedincome yields so low, that investors would find it irresistible to buy stocks.

As the equity markets rose, he hoped, we would see the virtuous cycle of investment and job creation.

So far, Bernanke deserves good marks for playing the confidence game. “Despite all the consternation over quantitative easing, it was a pretty shrewd move, assuming his later exit strategy works,” says David Smick, a Fed watcher who wrote the prescient book “The World Is Curved.”

From the Fed’s perspective, here’s what has happened since Bernanke announced the bond-purchase program last August: The S&P 500 index of major stocks is up about 20 percent; the Russell 2000 index is up more than 30 percent; stock-market volatility, as measured by the VIX index, is down roughly 30 percent.

Beyond these financial measures, there are signs of improvement in the real economy. The Institute for Supply Management reported Monday that its index of factory activity rose in December for the 17th straight month.

Sales of automobiles and other consumer durables have been increasing.

And the banking system finally seems to have steadied.

Here’s one striking example of how the system is healing itself. According to the Bank for International Settlements, the volume of outstanding

credit default swaps — the risky instruments that helped exacerbate the crisis — has declined by nearly half from its peak of $60 trillion in 2007.

What could go wrong with this happy picture? Given that it’s composed of expectations about the future, almost everything: The economy is still fragile and vulnerable to another shock. That’s why Bernanke has not ruled out purchasing even more Treasury bonds (that is, run the printing press a little longer), and why he thinks Congress should enact progrowth fiscal measures to complement the Fed’s monetary policy.

The best sign that the economic engine is really repaired would be a joint plan by the White House and congressional Republicans to trim the federal budget deficit over the next 10 years. The elements of such a long-term recovery program are clear: reform and simplification of the tax code; cuts in entitlements programs; reduction in military spending to reflect a changing strategic environment. There is bipartisan support, in principle, for such moves, but in practice?

Keynes put it well at the end of his 1930 essay. He explained that political leaders, “like-minded and acting together, could start the machine again within a reasonable time; if, that is to say, they were energized by a confident conviction as to what was wrong.”

On a 4-1 vote, the Lawrence City Commission denied a request to proclaim YEARS the week of Jan. 18 AGO “Abortion AwareIN 1986 ness Week.” Sandra Praeger recommended removing the proclamation from the agenda, saying, “I think this is an inappropriate forum for us to discuss controversial issues, especially when it’s something that the city commission has no authority over.” She added that the proclamation would be an “implied endorsement” by the city. Ernest Angino, the sole dissenting vote, disagreed, saying that the commission passed many proclamations that had “nothing to do with the city commission.... I look at most of these proclamation as information.” He said he would not oppose a similar proclamation written by an opposing group and that the commission should not be “picking and choosing” which ones to sign.

From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 8, 1911: YEARS “Last night the AGO authorities raided IN 1911 805 Pennsylvania and Babe Seymour and Gertie Grey were arrested as the keepers of the resort. This morning Deputy Johnson noticed a peculiar odor in passing the cell of the Grey woman. He peeped in and found her lying in a sort of stupor.

Inside the cell the odor was more pungent and rather pleasing. Johnson entered and after a little search discovered an opium pipe which the woman had managed to smuggle into the jail last night and which had escaped the observation of the woman keeper who searched her.”

Silly statement

the Plains from his front porch in Eudora! — should give him comfort that the liberal intellectual elite menace has been fairly well contained.

As for Brown’s displeasure in seeing “Free Republic of Lawrence” signs in local store windows, I can immediately think of one solution that would please a good many Lawrencians while also freeing Mr. Brown to spend more time with his constituents in District 38.

Eric Henry, Lawrence

Laughing liberal To the editor: This has been a cold winter and, like most people, I’ve been a little short of cash. Not great times.

Imagine the uplift I got from reading Rep. Anthony Brown’s remarks that Lawrence and KU were “too liberal” and “not very well-respected.” I laughed until I had tears in my eyes.

Mr. Brown, Timothy McVeigh was not a liberal. He was a badly educated, anti-government ultraconservative who could have become an executive at Koch Industries if he’d just kept those nasty killer impulses under control.

Scott Roeder was not a liberal. He was a badly educated ultraconservative religious bigot who attempted to use the Christian faith to forge a social “purity” of the type espoused by many of the tea party folks.

Eric Rudolph was not a liberal. He

was a badly educated ultraconservative “Christian Identity” nut who despised gays and who also wrapped his dynamite with sacks of nails to form killer shrapnel in case anybody survived the initial blasts.

What all three have in common is that, with their personal “philosophies,” they would have been welcomed with open arms into the current ultraconservative Kansas Republican Party prior to their public little missteps.

Thank you for brightening my day.

for $70, which is not $840 an hour.

Does she honestly think that people should be on call for free? That those other tasks should be done for free?

Or maybe it never occurred to her, even while writing, that many things were being done on her behalf both before and after the doctor’s call and that the $70 covered them all.

She was told during the phone call she might be charged. Would a form letter honestly have kept her from calling? Would she even have remembered receiving it?

Hopefully, the next time she talks to her doctor, they can figure out a way she can have medicine for her chronic condition on hand for the next big holiday weekend.

To the editor: Kendall Simmons, I’m genuinely sorry Ms. Dawes-TamLawrence borino has chronic bronchitis. But her math is lousy. (Public Forum, Jan. 3) She was billed $70 for what she feels was a 3-5-minute phone call and said To the editor: Now that President Obama has a that equates to $840 an hour.

However, she apparently was new chief of staff, I find it interesting unaware that she also was telling us: that some voices from his base have 1) the doctor was on call (never mind complained over this new hire being on Christmas Eve); 2) he had to from the world of business and not attempt to find her medical records from the world of academics.

Could it be that President Obama based on the unclear message he’d received; 3) he had to call her back and now realizes he needs someone with talk with her; 4) he had to call a phar- hands-on experience instead of somemacy and arrange for a prescription; one developing theories in the classand 5) he had to record this informa- room? I hope some folks at Kansas University have taken notice of this. tion for her medical records.

LAWRENCE ALMANAC Through 8 p.m. Friday.

Bob Dole back at Walter Reed hospital TOPEKA — A spokeswoman for the Dole Institute of Politics in Lawrence says former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole has been readmitted to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Dole Institute spokeswoman Heather Anderson tells The Associated Press that Dole was admitted to the hospital Thursday. She said she had no additional details, and several messages left with Walter Reed staff weren’t immediately returned Friday.

The 87-year-old Russell native spent 10 months at Walter Reed last year after suffering pneumonia three times following knee surgery in February. He left the facility in midNovember.

Dole was first elected to the U.S. House in 1960 and to the Senate in 1968. He was President Gerald Ford’s running mate in 1976 and was the Republican nominee for president in 1996, losing to Bill Clinton.

FREE STATE JUNIOR SHAWN KNIGHTON (10) GOES UP FOR A LAYUP against Olathe East defenders.

The Firebirds lost, 66-61, on Friday at FSHS.

Thomas Robinson felt the support of his Kansas University basketball family earlier this week in his hometown of Washington, D.C. “My teammates and coaches have been the best,” said KU’s 6foot-9, 237-pound sophomore forward, who headed home for the funeral of his grandmother, Shirley, before returning for practice Thursday afternoon.

“I wouldn’t say it has been easy, but I don’t think this situation would have been as smooth as it has been without them helping me, talking to me every day when I was home, I wouldn’t calling me, checking on say it has me.

Of his grandmother, Robinson said: “She was a great woman.

She was strong. She never gave up, so I guess that’s what I got from her.”

KU coach Bill Self agreed it was best for Robinson to stay in D.C. a day after the funeral.

“As a man of his house, he said it was more important for him to be with his family. I totally agreed.

I thought he should stay,” Self said. “It’s a little different role. Of course, he obviously is close to his grandmother. She helped raise him, with his mother, Lisa. He needed to be back there.

“I’m sure it was hard for him to come back, but he also has family here, too,” Self added. “He gets comfort from those guys, also.

LAWRENCE HIGH’S BRITTANY RAE (2) GRABS A REBOUND in the middle of Olathe North defenders. The Lions won, 48-30, on Friday at LHS.

LHS girls outrebound Eagles for win

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

Before Friday’s game against Olathe North, Lawrence High girls basketball coach Nick Wood told his team it needed to be the aggressor.

The team that wouldn’t back down.

The team that wanted it more.

Wood certainly saw what he wanted in the Lions’ 48-30 trouncing of the Eagles on Friday night at LHS. “We came out, we brought the energy, we kept them off the

boards,” Wood said. “So I’m proud as heck of them.”

After scouting the Eagles, the LHS coaching staff realized the Lions needed to control the glass to win. The Lions won the rebounding battle 30-15, with a lot of the Eagles’ rebounds coming late against Lawrence High’s reserves.

The score wasn’t really indicative of how Lawrence played, especially in a stretch after halftime when the Lions went on a 21-5 run and didn’t look back.

The final outcome was mostly a product of the Lions’ 2-2-1 zone

press. The Eagles had 30 turnovers, including 19 in a frenetic first half.

“At halftime, we realized that we had a really good first half, but we needed to continue to bring the energy and put a whole game together,” Wood said.

The third quarter wasn’t pretty offensively. The Eagles scored the first field goal of the quarter but couldn’t score again. The Lions (33) only put up seven points in the quarter, but they continued to apply pressure.

For Free State High boys basketball coach Chuck Law, leaving everything on the court only brings so much comfort.

After all, it’s the victory that matters, and the Firebirds — who fell to Olathe East, 66-61, on Friday night at FSHS — have fallen in too many close games over the past few years.

“We didn’t execute on about four or five possessions in the game on the defensive end, and that’s what beat us,” Law said.

“But I thought we played a fantastic game against a tremendous team.”

Alec Heline scored 22 points, Georgi Funtarov scored 16 points and gathered seven rebounds off the bench, and Eric Watson chipped in 11 points and five rebounds for FSHS, which led 2725 at the half on the strength of a sound defensive effort.

The Firebirds (4-3) showed no fear against the tall, lanky Hawks lineup that featured two 6-foot-7 players.

FSHS played a physical game on both ends, out-muscling Olathe East for rebounds and driving to the rim without hesitation.

“We’re not going to back down from anybody,” Law said.

Though all of the Firebirds displayed toughness against the Hawks — whose starting lineup’s average height was 6-foot4 — it was Watson who put the exclamation point on that claim.

Toward the end of the first half, Watson gathered a miss and surged out on a fast break, before skying over 6-7 Blaine Miller for a crowd-rocking, two-handed dunk.

“That felt great,” Watson said.

“I didn’t even see him coming, actually.”

As has become customary this season, the smothering Firebird defense bothered O-East into 19 turnovers and carried a 41-40 edge into the fourth quarter, which quickly unraveled.

KU women look to get back on track for Big 12 play

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

TEXAS TECH AT KANSAS When: 7 tonight Where: Allen Fieldhouse Records: KU 13-1; Texas Tech 13-1

With the exception of one road loss last month, the Kansas University women’s basketball team made it through the nonconference portion of its schedule with flying colors.

But now the fun starts. And unless the Jayhawks (13-1) can figure out a way to get back to doing the things that helped them win 13 of their first 14 games, the Big 12 schedule isn’t going to be much fun at all.

“Before (winter) break, we felt like we really embraced our identity,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “We understood who we were as a team, offensively. Since we’ve been back, we’ve been more undisciplined.

We have not executed as well, and I’m not sure exactly why.”

What Henrickson does know is that her squad needs to figure it out in a hurry, and she has a feeling that the start of Big 12 play — 7 tonight as KU hosts Texas Tech at Allen Fieldhouse — could get the Jayhawks going.

“I hope our blood pressure and our pulse improves,” Henrickson said. “That’s a bit of a question right now.”

Henrickson’s teams traditionally get off to good starts. In the last five years, Kansas has averaged 10 victories during nonconference play.

Winning games in the ultratough Big 12 has proven to be more difficult.

Under Henrickson, KU has not won more than six Big 12 contests in a single season.

That’s why getting off to a

good start in the conference is so important tonight.

“We’ve gotta get back to who we were,” Henrickson said. “I don’t know why we lost that. But they’ll figure it out. We lost the rhythm and timing, and we gotta get that back offensively.”

Asked how she expected her team to do that, Henrickson pointed to being fundamentally sound in all areas.

“It’s the little things,” Henrickson said. “It’s about boxing out, rebounding. It’s about being who we need to be offensively. The

best player makes the fewest bad plays. The best teams make the fewest number of bad plays. And we’ve just made a lot of bad plays for a team that’s really good.”

Last time out, the Jayhawks drubbed UMKC but did not play a great game on either end of the floor. The emphasis in practice this week has been on focusing for 40 minutes and executing in all aspects.

Texas Tech enters tonight’s game at 13-1, with its only loss coming at Penn State in early December.

LSU rolls over A&M in Cotton ARLINGTON , T EXAS (AP ) — With rumors swirling about LSU coach Les Miles’ future, Jordan Jefferson threw three touchdown passes to Terrence Toliver and ran for a score to help the 11th-ranked Tigers rally for a 41-24 victory over No. 18 Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl on Friday night.

Miles is likely a leading candidate for the coaching vacancy at Michigan, where he played and was an assistant coach.

In the days leading up to the Cotton Bowl, Miles said his focus was on his Tigers and that he enjoyed where he was.

But LSU (11-2) has now completed its fourth season with at least 11 wins in Miles’ six years. The Tigers had only two 11-win seasons in their history before that.

During the postgame celebration, Miles sang the LSU fight song loud and proud with his players. When asked after that if he’d back next season, there was a pause before Miles responded, “It’s a wonderful place. I love it here.”

Texas A&M (9-4) led 10-0 in the first quarter, including a field goal after Jefferson threw an interception, but had its sixgame winning streak snapped.

It was the 50th game between the borderstate schools, but the first since the 1995 opener. Texas A&M had won the last five games in a series that likely will not be renewed in the regular season any time soon.

Jefferson was 10-of-19 for 158 yards with scoring passes of 42, 2 and 41 yards to Toliver, who had only two TD catches in the regular season.

LSU went ahead for good when Stevan Ridley had a a 17-yard TD run for a 21-17 lead with 4:43 left in the first half.

Ryan Tannehill, who had been 5-0 since taking over as the Aggies starting quarterback, then threw two interceptions in a span of three throws — after 127 consecutive attempts without a pick.

Harbaugh leaving Stanford for 49ers SAN FRANCISCO — All week, Jim Harbaugh had a good feeling about making the jump to the NFL and joining the San Francisco 49ers — just the way mentor and late Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh did more than 30 years ago.

Declaring it a “perfect competitive opportunity,” Harbaugh accepted the job as coach of the 49ers on Friday and said his goal is to win a Lombardi Trophy for “one of the legendary fran- Harbaugh chises in all of football.”

The successful Stanford coach receives a five-year deal and gets to remain right at home in the Bay Area, moving to the NFL after four years with the Cardinal. A longtime NFL quarterback, he replaces fired coach Mike Singletary. ESPN reported Harbaugh’s deal is for $25 million.

Texas State hires Franchione SAN MARCOS, TEXAS — Dennis Franchione has been hired at Texas State, returning to college football after three years.

Texas State introduced the 59-year-old Franchione on Friday. He coached the Bobcats in the early 1990s when the school was called Southwest Texas State.

Franchione’s last job was at Texas A&M. He resigned in 2007 after a disappointing 7-5 season that included embarrassing revelations of him selling inside information about the program in a secret newsletter.

LHS, Free State bowlers hit lanes today

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Reporter

At its simplest, bowling is a sport with something to offer for everybody.

Feeling like a laid-back, good time with some friends?

There’s that. And if you’re the competitive type, there’s plenty of that, too.

So whether it’s a group of 60-something men in matching shirts or a bunch of high schoolers — like it will be starting at 8 a.m. today at Royal Crest Lanes, when the Lawrence High and Free State bowling teams open their seasons at the Free State Bowling Invitational — there’s sure to be a little bit of everything.

“A 5-year-old can go to the lanes and have a great time with the bumpers, and some of the ladies I’ve bowled with

Perry girls hold on J-W Staff Reports

P E R R Y — Madison Hess scored a team-high 12 points, helping Perry-Lecompton to a 34-32 high school girls basketball victory over Hiawatha on Friday night.

in the past are in senior leagues and are 80 years old and still having a great time,” LHS bowling coach Paula Bastemeyer said.

Aside from the regional and state tournaments, today’s allday affair likely will be the biggest competition of the season for both city squads, as there will be 10 other schools in attendance.

With a multitude of events and skill levels among the bowlers, and especially because Monday was the first day bowling teams were able to start having organized practices under KSHSAA rules, the expectations for the day are varied.

“I’ve got kids all up and down the gamut,” Bastemeyer said. “Some kids with scores in the 80s and some with scores around 200.

Seniors TaMiya Green, Rachel Kelly and Emily Peterson deflected several passes apiece. Green grabbed nine rebounds, and Kelly and Peterson each scored 11 points to lead the way.

Wood was even able to clear his bench late in the game, something he hasn’t been able to do in the Lions’ first two close victories. The younger players turned the ball over a lot — “That was a 1 long 2 ⁄2 minutes,” Wood said — but he was still happy to get them into a varsity game.

“They deserve it,” Wood said.

The Lions play next at 7 p.m. Monday at Shawnee Mission North.

FSHS varsity boys Justin Walthall, sr., Nick Conrad, sr., Nate Fiester, jr., Tre Sexton, fr., Kyle Hall, jr., Jordan Jump, soph.

FSHS coach Anita Carlson was more definitive.

“We’re pretty competitive,” Carlson said, adding a number of rival schools will be present. “That’s something that I try to instill in tryouts

and in the meetings. It is somewhat of a social event because they have time to talk to each other in the pit, but it’s still competitive.”

While Carlson’s roster is filled with more experienced bowlers and her expectations are high, Bastemeyer’s is a more youth-oriented bunch.

Being less experienced isn’t necessarily a detriment, though, because that can mean the bowlers have fewer established bad habits that need fixing.

“There’s a lot of real tangible results that can be achieved in a real short period of time,” Bastemeyer said.

When it comes down to it, bowling isn’t as simple as heaving the ball as hard as possible.

Bastemeyer said that it’s not always the most powerful bowlers who are the best;

developing spin and momentum and good footwork are just a few of many crucial skills.

“It’s a much more scientific sport than people give it credit for,” she said.

Helpful as that may be, it won’t do newcomers any favors when stepping up to bowl in front of the massive crowd for the first time.

“It does get kind of crazy, a little bit, especially with scoring and seeding and fans,” Carlson said. “It can definitely be overwhelming for the brand-new bowlers.”

First-time jitters aside, both coaches were eager to get the season started — regardless of whether the competitors are in it to crush the opposition or just to have fun.

“That’s the beauty about high school is mostly everybody gets to play,” Carlson said.

Senior guard Tyrel Reed said Robinson has the support of the entire team.

“He’s such a tough kid, such a good kid,” Reed said. “We’re really sad for his loss. As a group, we’ll stay around him and be there for him. I think he’ll be fine. I’m glad he’s out there with us.”

Robinson, by the way, was able to keep track of the KUUMKC game.

“I don’t have ESPN3 at home, so I was watching playby-play on my computer,” Robinson said. “It was a real good first half. From what I read, our press looked good.

In the second half, we laid back a little. We need to be consistent with everything.” ●

Little to travel: Suspended senior Mario Little will travel with the Jayhawks to Michigan for Sunday’s 3:30 p.m. game against the Wolverines, Self said Friday. KU’s coach said he’s getting closer to deciding Little’s fate for the rest of the season. Little has a court date this spring for his recent arrest on misdemeanor battery charges.

“There is a chance (Little will play again this season). I don’t know positively yet,” Self said. “I want what is best for us more than anything, but I want what's best for him, the way with 13 points, six too, and hopefully that is in assists and four rebounds, conjunction with what’s best Chelsea Casady added 10 for us. I’ve got information, points and five rebounds, and Lynn Robinson chipped in nine points, but the off-shooting night caught up to the Firebirds despite a solid allaround game.

“I think we did everything J-W Staff Reports we needed to do on both ends of the floor other than hit E U D O R A — Elijah Penny those threes,” Duncan said, scored 26 points, and Thomas citing rebounding, passing, Bachert added 10 as Veritas and a season-low 10 Christian cruised to a 54-35 turnovers. “I know that’s a big high school boys basketball ‘what,’ but in our case, that’s victory Friday. what we’re expecting to do.”

Casady said. “We just use our muscles and get into them, try to front them more and just CUSTOMER play our game.”

Free State’s pressure defense led it into halftime down only 22-18 despite a 2Today for-16 three-point-shooting th clip.

The Firebirds hit their first three three-pointers to open the half to pull within two points, but the Hawks, led by several baskets from Shields, closed the quarter with a 15-7 www.papajohns.com run to pull away.

FSHS swept by Olathe East CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

O-East senior Tyler Kalinoski (28 points) was tough to handle all game but primarily caught fire in the fourth, scoring the Hawks’ first eight points and leading them to a 56-51 advantage.

“He’s the best player in the league, maybe short of A.J. Spencer (of Shawnee Mission Northwest, whom the Firebirds will face Tuesday),” Law said.

“That was the whole focus of the second half, to not let him touch the ball, and we had a couple of breakdowns and let him get some open shots.”

Facing a late deficit and nothing to do except foul and hope for an opportunity, FSHS could only watch as OEast clinched the game from the free-throw line, going 10of-12 in the final minute.

“It’s just devastating to know that we played hard for the entire game and just slipped up for a couple of plays here and there and those cost us the game,” Watson said. “It’s a terrible feeling.”

Though Law loved the way his team competed and battled what he considers to be a top team in the Sunflower League and in the state, he emphasized that the Firebirds need to get over the setbacks they’ve suffered in recent years.

“We’ve got to beat somebody that we don’t believe we’re supposed to beat,” Law said. “I think once we do that, we can really do some things.

“We didn’t believe we were supposed to beat Olathe East, and as a result we didn’t.”

What’s the one thing we should do in the New Year to get more in touch with our religious selves?

————

By filling ourselves with the soul fuel of our Savior The Rev. Jeff Barclay, pastor, Christ Community Church, 1100 Kasold Drive: My suggestion is that we make an inspection of our spiritual fuel tanks and answer an objective question.

“With what have I filled my religious self?” Has it filled the void? Is it substantive?

Can it get me home?

Human beings have thoughts, needs and desires that cannot be cast off as random or accidental. Intuitively, human beings sense there is something more “out there,” something beyond the turn of a calendar. If we find in our religious selves an emptiness that nothing in this world can fill, the logical explanation is that there is something beyond the natural — knowable, but as yet, unknown.

I have a tongue-in-cheek caution. One cannot be too careful. There are ambushes everywhere. God, not the imagined one of nature or mental musings, but the God who created both, will set a trap for us.

He might have someone leave a Bible open.

God is lovingly presumptuous enough to Barclay tell us we will never get back home on our own. He is warmly audacious enough to say that until Jesus has touched our lives, we will never be in touch with our religious selves.

Human beings have intriguing strong opinions

about how people should act.

The commonality of these notions pop up in our search for moral goodness and spiritual satisfaction. And these deliberations continually direct us back to something beyond the fumes of our lonely, unfulfilled, religious selves.

I realize this is beginning to sound preachy and I am wearing out my metaphors, but matching our soul with its correct fuel requires reading the Bible — our owner’s manual. Like stopping for gas it is not an inconvenience. It is a religious necessity. Our religious selves will be empty and we won't make it home, until we fill ourselves with the soul fuel of our Savior.

Take time to pray and read the Bible daily Doug Heacock, contemporary worship leader and director of media and communications, Lawrence Free Methodist Church, 3001 Lawrence Ave.: To be frank, I have no interest in getting in touch with my “religious self.”

The part of me that is bent toward religion leads me to believe that there is some way that I can appease God with some sort of religious behavior, or somehow make up for my sin by engaging in Heacock

various kinds of religious activities. My “religious self” wants to believe that if I’m “good” enough, or at least if I live my life better, or more nobly, or more religiously than someone else, I’ve got a shot at heaven.

Unfortunately, that’s not true.

Jesus had frequent conflicts with the “religious” people of his day — those who trusted in their own ability to keep the rules — and he seemed to prefer hanging with people who were willing to acknowledge their helplessness and trust him to save them and forgive them. Honestly, that’s where I am.

My guess is that the sort of

person who might ask this question is actually asking something more like this: “How can I be a more spiritual person this year?” or perhaps, “How can I be closer to God this year?” We get closer to God the same way we get closer to anyone else — by spending time with him.

A good way to start is to take a bit of time every day to pray and read the Bible. If you spend 15-30 minutes a day talking to God and listening to him (by reading the Scriptures), in time you will find that you are drawing nearer and nearer to him.

Ohio: The girl may have an infection or allergic reaction (from soap, bubble baths, laundry detergents, certain foods, etc.) that is causing itching or discomfort. Infections and /or exposure to allergens can come and go, even over several years. A child may say nothing to her parents because she may not realize her symptoms are not anniesmailbox@creators.com normal, and she may have become accustomed to them. made it feel better but caused Florida: In special educainflammation, and it was a tion, some of our students do long time until I was treated not fully understand how to properly and the behavior went away. Yeast infections can be triggered by undetected food sensitivities and often go undiagnosed in both boys and girls. The resultant itching (and other people’s reactions) can cause lasting emotional anxiety.

Fox changes plans with TV movie In a very rare move that may or may not have something to do with the NFL on NBC, Fox will broadcast an original TV movie. It was among the first networks to abandon the once-popular genre. And it’s interesting to note that the original madefor-television romance “Change of Plans” (7 p.m., Fox) has a strong “American Idol” connection.

It marks the acting debut of seasoneight finalist Brooke White. Fans of the series may remember her as the striking blonde singer/songwriter who surprised Simon Cowell when she declared that she had never seen an R-rated movie. For the record, “Change of Plans” is strictly PG. White plays Sally, a musician with a fighterpilot husband (Joe Flanigan, “Stargate: Atlantis”) whose life is upended when her best friend dies and leaves Sally as the legal guardian of her four children. What would television do without the plot line of instant parenthood?

Look for Phylicia Rashad of “The Cosby Show” as a social worker as well as cameos from “Idol” judge Randy Jackson and NASCAR driver Jeff Burton.

Today’s highlights ● The Colts host the Jets in an AFC Wild Card Round Playoff Game (7 p.m., NBC). ● “It’s Me or the Dog” (7 p.m., Animal Planet) enters its third season. ● Jane Seymour returns as the advicedispensing Prudence in the made-for-TV sequel “Perfectly Prudence” (8 p.m., Hallmark). The movie co-stars Seymour’s real life husband James Keach as well as her daughter Katie Flynn. ● Connor meets an old friend on “Primeval” (8 p.m., BBC America). ● Scheduled on “48 Hours Mystery” (9 p.m., CBS): Was a tycoon’s murder by his wife merely self-defense? ● Dawn French and Cher appear on “Theb Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America). ● Jim Carrey hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guest The Black Keys.

be appropriate in public. We explain, privately, what we want and then, in the classroom, remind her to “sit up” when she reverts to her “comfortable” position. It is not humiliating to be reminded to sit up. With boys who use their hands under the desk, we ask them to put their hands up on the table. This is done matter-of-factly, without any classroom disruption.

Dear Annie: This is for “Concerned Teacher,” whose 9-year-old pupil rubs herself against her seat all day long. I am a school psychologist. If sexual abuse has been ruled out, she should simply treat it like any other publicly unacceptable behavior, the same way you would treat a child picking his nose in class.

However, kids often engage in self-pleasure when anxious.

So the first step should be to track the behavior and see if it happens when certain subjects are taught. The teacher and parents should talk to the child about a signal to let her know when she is doing it because she may not be aware of it at the time. Another point is to make sure she doesn’t have a learning or cognitive disability.

Students with mild cognitive disabilities sometimes do not understand the social inappropriateness of this behavior. — A School Psych
