Federal appeals panel hears arguments in trafficway case

Opponents ask city to dump, alter trash plan

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

The size, shape, scope, cost and even the ethics of a draft report on recommendations for changes to the city’s trash and recycling system were called into question by LawThere are few rence residents Thursday things that are evening at City Hall.

Some even got choked up as personal as about the topic. trash.”

“There are few things that are as personal as trash,” — Mayor Aron Cromwell, said Mayor Aron Cromwell, who chairs the city’s chairman of the city’s Solid Waste Task Force that Solid Waste Task Force formed in April.

Despite passionate pleas to modify — or even scrap — the task force’s draft, Cromwell said he doesn’t expect huge changes before a proposal is voted on by the task force.

A key goal set forth by the task force is to increase automation for residential trash collection by providing roll-out trash carts for residential services and increasing automation of trucks as current fleet units are replaced. The task force also is looking at mandatory recycling collections.

Services such as yard-waste pickup and largeitem collection would continue.

Another meeting — the 19th in total for the task force — is set for 6 p.m. Jan 26. City officials said

TRAFFIC MOVES ALONG 31ST STREET BETWEEN THE BAKER WETLANDS on the south and Haskell Indian Nations University on the north between Haskell Avenue and Louisiana Street. A three-judge panel of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments Thursday regarding whether the South Lawrence Trafficway should be built through the Baker Wetlands.

Decision likely to decide fate of SLT

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

DENVER — The route for the controversial South Lawrence Trafficway never will go through this Mile High City. At least that much is sure about the project.

But what happened in Denver on Thursday likely will decide whether the SLT ever travels anywhere east of Iowa Street.

Adviser touts tax plan; criticism continues about impact on poor

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposal to increase taxes on poor Kansans will help them in the long run because the plan will produce jobs and improve the state economy, nationally known low-tax advocate Arthur Laffer said Thursday.

Laffer, who is being paid $75,000 by the Brownback administration for consulting work on the governor’s tax plan, was questioned during his presentation about Brownback’s proposal to end the state portion of the Earned Income Tax Credit, which Laffer helps low-income working Kansans.

Kari Ann Rinker, state coordinator for the National Organization for Women, said removing the EITC would hurt many single parents.

But Laffer said the funds saved from removing the EITC would be plowed back into programs to Brownback help low-income people.

Laffer said he understood the plight of single parents because he said he was one when his first wife left him with four children.

Rinker shot back, “You just got paid $75,000 for one consulting job. I don’t think you understand.”

Later, Laffer, considered the father of supplyside economics, was asked how Brownback’s plan could be described as fair when it would cut state income taxes for Kansans making more than $25,000 but increase the taxes for those making under $25,000.

“I don’t think that’s the right way to look at that

From her large living room window, Ruth Perry can watch traffic zooming north and south on U.S. Highway 59.

Next to those busy two lanes are two fresh and raw concrete strips that soon will be the new highway. Underneath one is the site of her home of more than half a century.

“Progress, I guess,” Perry said.

Progress or not, the view is a contrast to her earliest memory, which involves a horse and buggy ride.

“I was 2 1/2 years old,” she

said. “I was at my grandmother’s house. We walked down to get the mail. She talked to the postman; they always knew the latest gossip. She told me, ‘You have a baby brother. Let’s go see him.’ I went with her in the buggy.

“I remember I wasn’t too impressed. After he got some age on him, we had a lot of fun together.”

More than 97 years after that day in Dawson County, Neb., Perry, of rural Baldwin City, is celebrating her 100th birthday, which was Thursday.

It’s not a big deal, Perry maintains, saying hers has been a

LUBOMYRA (LUBA) OLHA PALIJ Mrs. Palij died peacefully on Friday, January 6, 2012, at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Lawrence, Kansas.

Memorial services for Mrs. Lubomyra (Luba) Olha Palij will be held on Sunday, January 22, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center in Lawrence, Kansas, with Monsignor Vince Krische officiating.

Graveside services for Lubomyra Palij were held on Monday, January 16, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. at the St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery in South Bound Brook, New Jersey, with Fr. Jeremiah Rybakov officiating.

Lubomyra was born March 14, 1922, in Chortkiv, Ukraine, the daughter of Dr. Ivan and Maria Yashan Welyhorskyj. She was the middle child of three siblings. She had an older brother, Myroslaw, and a younger brother, Ihor.

In 1940, she finished high school in Yavoriv, Ukraine.

In 1943, she graduated from the Pharmaceutical College in Lviv, Ukraine, with a degree in pharmacy. After the Second World War, in 1948, the Welyhorskyj family immigrated to Espanola, Ontario, Canada. A few months later, they moved to Toronto where they settled permanently. Lubomyra obtained her license to practice pharmacy, and worked in St. Joseph’s Hospital until 1963.

In 1963, she married Chicago publisher and businessman Mykola Denysiuk. She moved to Chicago and became co-owner and manager of the Mykola Denysiuk Publishing Company.

Mykola and Lubomyra published hundreds of books on Ukrainian culture; a monthly cultural magazine called “Ovid”; and the complete works of iconic Ukrainian writers like Taras Shevchenko and Ivan Franko. She was also active in the Chicago Branch of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA). Mykola Denysiuk died suddenly in 1976. Widowed after 14 years of marriage, Lubomyra returned to Toronto to be with her family.

In 1979, she married Dr. Michael Palij, a librarian and historian in the Slavic Department of the Library of the University of Kansas in Lawrence. She moved to Lawrence, Kansas, where for 30 years Michael and Lubomyra dedicated all their time and energy to enlighten American academics about the history and culture of Ukraine. They also became benefactors of several religious and cultural organizations in Ukraine, and donated over 4,000 books to Ukrainian libraries.

Michael Palij passed away in Lawrence, Kansas, in 2010.

Lubomyra lived in Lawrence until her death on January 6, 2012.

Lubomyra is survived by her stepson Peter Palij, his wife Linda Leibengood, and their children Maria and Mark Palij, of Ardsley, New York.

Lubomyra was predeceased by her two brothers: Ihor Nicholas Welyhorsky (1927- 1997) of Toronto and Myroslaw Ivan Welyhorskyj (1920-2007) of Espanola.

She will be sadly missed by: sister-in-law Velta Druvis Welyhorskyj of Espanola and the Shepitka family; cousin Alexandra Yashan Kowalsky of Toronto with the Onyschuk, Moskaliuk, Kowalsky, Morozov and Elijiw families; niece Christina Welyhorsky Senkiw of Toronto with her husband George and the Senkiw family; niece Maria Welyhorskyj of Port Dover, Ontario, with her husband Malcolm and her son Alastair Crombie; cousins William and Anne Melnychuk of Oshawa, Ontario; cousins Yaroslaw and Vera Kryshtalsky of New York City; and extended family in Canada, the United States and Ukraine.

sales tax, which is scheduled to fall to 5.7 percent next year.

Under figures provided by the Kansas Department of Revenue, the group of Kansans with adjusted gross incomes of $25,000 or less currently receive a total tax refund of $1.7 million. Under Brownback’s plan, they would have to pay $86.5 million in taxes, which has been calculated as a 5,102 percent increase. All other income groups would see a tax cut with the largest percentage cut being 18.5 percent for people making $250,000 or more per year.

plan,” Laffer said. He said the primary beneficiaries of Brownback’s plan will be low-income Kansans because it will lure more businesses to the state and create jobs.

“It’s not a class warfare issue. It’s how you get to prosperity for everyone,” he said.

Brownback’s plan would reduce state income tax rates and eliminate income taxes for thousands of businesses.

The plan would also eliminate numerous tax credits and deductions and keep in place the 6.3 percent state

horseback each day the eight miles to the school and back.

“Mr. McGuire would have the horses saddled and ready in the morning,” she said.

“Oh, I got such saddle sores on my knees. I rode horses before but not like that.”

She continued teaching, leaving the one-room schools for larger consolidated schools. Perry said her circumstances improved enough that she could buy a car.

“My first car was a 1936 Plymouth,” she said. “It was brand new. My brother and I went to town and bought it.

My father didn’t like cars. He said they’d be the ruination of the nation and they should outlaw them.

“When we brought the car home that night, I was afraid what he would say. The next morning, he looked out and asked, ‘Is that your car?

There’s an auction in town.

Let’s go.’”

1941, with the nation headed for the war, she says, caused more change than any other thing in her lifetime.

She married Charles Perry, who took her away from teaching and Wyoming “I didn’t want to live on dry, treeless land all my life, so I decided to try something different,” she said. “I didn’t see much there. I was teaching at the best rural school in the county. Everybody was moving around. I wanted to see what was next.

“Besides, I liked the guy.”

They first moved to Boston, where her husband, a steelworker worked in a shipyard. Unhappy in Boston, she was thrilled when in a year Charles got a job in Stockton, Calif., for the remainder of the war.

With peace, they moved to Nebraska where she had inherited some land and stayed until 1951. Then, they moved to Kansas and the house condemned for the new highway, just in time for the big flood.

“We couldn’t go to Lawrence or Ottawa. The bridges were out,” she said. “We listened to the radio. They’d tell about so-and-so’s farm going down the river.”

Her early years in Kansas, she focused on raising her three children.

Perry started teaching again in 1958. Her first job in Kansas was a rowdy bunch of sixth-, seventhand eighth-graders at Sigel School, a schoolhouse gone since the building of Clinton Dam.

“I was green. I didn’t know what books to use,” she said.

“The kids had ran the last teacher out. I told them if they expected to graduate, we’d have to work together.

They’d tell me what book to use.”

She also finished the college degree she’d started at the University of Wyoming, graduating from Baker in 1961.

“I was scared when I first started in Baker what the kids would think of this 50-yearold woman,” she said. “But the Baker kids were always very friendly.”

After Sigel, Perry moved on to Wakarusa Valley before taking a position at Riverside School in North Lawrence, where she taught from 1966 until her retirement in 1977.

Through the years, the classroom was where she wanted to be.

“I didn’t have any interest in being the big boss,” she said. “I always liked kids.

I got along very well with them. I was friends with a lot of them.”

Because of that, she said, she most enjoyed teaching at one-room schools and the bonds they encouraged. That experience has made her a supporter of smaller class sizes in elementary schools.

“It isn’t the school; it’s the teacher,” Perry said. “I like it when they can limit the students in the lower grades to 20 pupils. I hope they keep it up. The lower grades need that personal approach.”

She’s had and is still having a happy life, she said, as she considered her 100th birthday that will bring her youngest daughter, Mary Lou Ellis, from Wyoming to join in her birthday celebration with her two local children, four grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. But she added she was happy because she works at it.

“You have to make it happy,” she said. “You can’t sit around and feel sorry for yourself.”

It was with that mind-set and optimism that Perry moved on from the forced move from her longtime home.

“When they took my house, I decided to build this one,” she said. “They said it was the silliest thing they had ever heard, a 96-yearold woman building a house.

I said I was going to build it anyway.”

the location would be announced today.

“We’ll wrap it up next week,” Cromwell said. If the task force votes in favor of a proposal, it will be passed along to the City Commission as a recommendation.

Among the provisions decried by some of the two dozen people who addressed the task force Thursday was mandatory usage of standardized carts for both trash and recycling for single-family homes, with no opt-out clause. The additional cost for the mandatory recycling service isn’t yet clear, but Cromwell has previously said the total cost should be around $19 a month, up about $4 from the current city rate that now just includes trash pickup.

Numerous residents questioned a one-size-fits-all policy that doesn’t account for residents currently satisfied with other recycling options in the

city, such as private pickup and drop-off locations.

The trash carts, which could possibly reduce injuries and staffing needs through the use of a hydraulic lift, were on display in 45-, 65-, and 90-gallon sizes at City Hall.

“Huge, huger and humongous,” said Lawrence resident Bill Mitchell in his comments to the task force.

Mitchell, and several others commenting Thursday, called for smaller carts, and potentially lower rates, for those who create less trash.

Cromwell said it’s been a challenge balancing the variety of needs expressed by the community, but the “goal is to create a system that works for Lawrence.”

Among the other recommendations in the report:

The possibility that the city could switch to fully-automated trucks, which would reduce the number of crew members needed on a trash truck.

The city solicited proposals from private companies to run a new citywide curbside recycling program.

The report recommends that a new curbside recycling program be created but recognizes it must be fiscally feasible. The report recommends any curbside service be offered on a weekly basis.

Sets a goal of a 50 percent recycling rate for the community by 2020. The city’s current recycling rate isn’t known. The last rate compiled by the city showed it was 34 percent, although that calculation is several years old and the city auditor has questioned the method used for figuring recycling totals.

Residents of apartment complexes largely will have to wait to see what changes may be in store for their trash service. The report does not provide many recommendations for multifamily or commercial trash service, but said changes to the system are possible in the future.

The full draft report can be viewed on the city’s website, www.lawrenceks.org.

Tenn., said the states making the most economic improvement are those without a state income tax, such as Texas, Florida and Nevada. Progressive income taxes have damaged many states, he argued.

But Sen. Tom Holland, the leading Democrat on the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee, argued that Laffer’s premise was unfounded.

Texas, Florida and Nevada have other sources of revenue, such as oil and tourism, that Kansas doesn’t have, he said.

But Laffer said states such as Ohio and Michigan have suffered with state income taxes.

“I dare you to go to Detroit,” he said.

Willis Heck, a retired school superintendent from Newton, who is serving on a tax study group formed

by Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, and attended Laffer’s briefing, said he was concerned about how Brownback’s plan will affect funding of “core functions of state government.”

He asked Laffer if Laffer had looked into that part of the plan, and Laffer said he hadn’t.

Laffer also responded to reports of a lawsuit filed in Texas that alleges he lent his name to a group that bilked investors out of $3.1 million in a Ponzi scheme.

Laffer said he was never served court papers in the

lawsuit and that he has been sued many times. The Associated Press reported that the plaintiffs who filed the lawsuit have dropped it.

commonplace, ordinary life.

But it’s certainly unusual to find a centenarian living alone, although her son Charles’ house overlooks her 3-year-old home, and her oldest daughter, Sally Dunn, visits daily from Baldwin City.

Nor will you find many people who grew up on a ranch in the West not long after the closing of the frontier.

“You could see Devil’s Tower out of the kitchen window,” Perry said. “It was 20 miles away, but it would take you 40 miles to get there.”

Isolation and difficult travel was a constant of her youth. The nearest post office, which delivered mail to the ranch twice a week and was home to the closest telephone, was a six-mile trip, a long time on a horse.

“When you would go somewhere, you rode a horse,” she said. “They were for work, too. To go get the cattle — everything.

“My mother got our first car, a 1918 Oakland. They took us for a ride when they brought it home. I sat in the back seat with my brother. I was scared to death almost.”

There was always something to keep her busy on the ranch, sewing, cooking or other chores. One other passion helped shorten the long Wyoming winter nights.

“I read a lot,” Perry said. “I always loved to read.”

When she was 16, her mother went to care for one of Perry’s grandparents, caught pneumonia and died.

“She overworked herself,” Perry said. “I was left to raise my younger sister. I just took over. Those were the toughest times, decidedly.”

She managed her new duties with her high school studies, graduating from Gillette High School and going back to the classroom the next year as a teacher at a one-room school.

“I had 10 students in a 9-by-11-foot school,” she said.

“If they were at their desks and someone came, they couldn’t get in the door. We had to shove the desks out of the way.”

She stayed that first year with the family of one of her students, who was just three years younger than she and with whom she still exchanges letters. The two rode

BRIEFLY Kaw River considered as National Water Trail TOPEKA — The federal government has begun the process for designating the Kansas River between Junction City and its junction with the Missouri River near Kansas City as a National Historic Water Trail.

Linda Craghead, assistant secretary of the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, said Wednesday that the designation would be an economic boost for communities along the river.

Craghead discussed the possibility at a meeting of the Topeka and Shawnee County Riverfront Authority. She said the U.S. Department of Interior was working with the state to secure the designation.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that state and federal officials said they will protect the rights of landowners along the river.

The country’s first historic water trail designation was issued in December 2006.

Lawsuit alleges sexual assault of 87-year-old Brandon Woods at Alvamar denies family’s claims

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

The family of a former 87-year-old resident of Brandon Woods at Alvamar claims in a lawsuit filed last week that she was sexually assaulted in October 2010 in her room and that the Lawrence retirement center’s staff members acted

to conceal it from authorities, her family and medical personnel.

“The real concern here is that when things like this happen, the only way we prevent them from happening in the future is to react appropriately when they happen,” said Lawrence attorney Bill Skepnek, who is representing

the family of Jean S. Allen.

Jeffrey Merritt, executive director for Brandon COURTS Woods at Alvamar, 1501 Inverness Drive, denied the suit’s claims in a statement Thursday and said the company would challenge the allegations in court.

“Because Brandon Woods at Alvamar is steadfastly

committed to providing quality retirement living and elder care to the seniors of Lawrence and Douglas County, we are confident that the judicial process will show that all of our residents, including the resident mentioned in the lawsuit, were at all times given state-of-theart care that protected their health and safety,” he said.

$2M bond set for man charged with murder WICHITA — Bond was set at $2 million Thursday for a man charged with murder in the 2003 death of a Kansas woman whose drowning was initially ruled an accident, along with several other charges including rape and child sexual exploitation.

Daniel U. Perez, 52, appeared in court via video hookup from the Sedgwick County jail on 39 criminal counts, including premeditated murder in the death of Patricia Hughes. Investigators said Hughes and Perez were among a group of people living in commune-like settings, and that the group is connected to several deaths.

Investigators had initially believed the 26-year-old mother accidently drowned while trying to rescue her 2-year-old daughter from a residential pool at a home in Valley Center. Authorities reclassified her death as a homicide in September amid evidence indicating the group was living off life insurance policies.

Two criminal complaints unsealed Thursday show that Perez is facing numerous charges, including one count of sexual exploitation of an 8-year-old child and 11 counts each of rape and sodomy. He also is charged with making a criminal threat as well as several counts each of aggravated assault involving a rifle and making false statements to obtain credit from a Wichita car dealership.

Court, Skepnek alleges that Allen, who was in hospice care because she was nearly completely immobile, was sexually assaulted on Oct. 20, 2010, by a Brandon Woods nursing aide. The suit does not name the alleged assailant. Earlier, Allen had been in a unit for Alzheimer’s or dementia patients.

Lawrence math teacher wins Horizon Award

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

When students ask Lawrence High School math teacher Jason Karlin why they need to know those complicated algebra II equations, Karlin has 15 years of corporate experience to back up his answer.

“Physics formulas, equations, graphs, that sort of

thing. I can say how that is applied in the real world,” Karlin said.

This week, Karlin was one of 31 Karlin teachers across the state who received the 2012 Kansas Cable Telecommu-

nications Horizon Award, which is given to exemplary first-year teachers. The award is sponsored by the Kansas State Department of Education, and the teachers will be recognized at a luncheon next month.

For Karlin, the award is validation that he made the right career switch. Karlin has spent the bulk of his professional life as an engi-

neer working in information technology and software development. That background has given him a boost in the classroom.

“He is very organized, very detailed and has a great presentation style,” Lawrence High School Principal Matt Brungardt said. “He has a really good way of relating content for the students and Please see TEACHER, page 4A

The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce announced Thursday that Beth Johnson, vice president of economic development since 2006, will be taking a similar position with the Overland Park Chamber of Commerce.

Hank Booth, the Lawrence chamber’s interim president, called the move a great opportunity for Johnson.

“We hate to lose Beth Johnson, but it says a great deal about the respect people have for the work she does,” Booth said.

Johnson’s track record was touted in a news release issued by the Overland Park Chamber on Thursday.

“Beth has an impressive knowledge and record of success in the economic development industry, and we are pleased to have someone of her caliber joining our economic development team,” said Tracey Osborne, president of the Overland Park Chamber.

Johnson, whose new role will be as senior vice president of economic development, is the second highlevel Lawrence chamber employee to step down in recent months.

In September, Tom Kern stepped down from his position as president of the chamber to take a similar position in Steamboat Springs, Colo.

Booth has been interim president since, and he said chamber officials will meet next week with a consulting firm regarding filling the president’s position. Booth said it’s possible the firm will also conduct the search for Johnson’s replacement.

BRIEFLY KU player pleads not guilty to M.I.P.

gist who contracts with the Kansas Department of Corrections, testified Wednesday that Thomas had received about 130 disciplinary reports, including one that said he had planned to sexually assault several female staff members in 1999. Branson said Thursday during his closing argument that doctors had also testified Thomas’ mental health conditions, including paranoid schizophrenia, could progressively get worse.

Defense attorney Elbridge Griffy had argued prosecutors did not prove that Thomas was unable to control his behavior.

Under the state’s Sexually Violent Predator law, Thomas will remain in state custody for treatment in Larned. He can also appeal the decision.

Kansas University basketball player Ben McLemore pleaded not guilty Thursday afternoon to a misdemeanor charge of minor in possession of alcohol.

His defense attorney, Al Lopes, who appeared in court for McLemore, said he will request more information from prosecutors in the case.

McLemore, 18, received a ticket Nov. 4 from a state Alcoholic Beverage Control officer.

The officer alleged McLemore was found with a Red Bull and vodka at Abe and Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. The freshman from St. Louis had missed his initial court date in December.

The NCAA in October declared McLemore as a partial academic qualifier, ineligible to play in games in the 2011-2012 season.

at the time; and social worker Pat Howell are named as defendants, along with Massachusetts-based Five Star Quality Care Inc., which purchased Brandon Woods in 2009.

The lawsuit also alleges:

MulQueen received a phone message on Oct. 21, 2010, from a family member of Allen’s roommate that led MulQueen to suspect Allen “had been sexually abused.”

A social worker later interviewed the roommate, and the plaintiffs believe the interview revealed Allen was sexually abused one day earlier.

MulQueen went home that evening “without taking any steps to suspend the nursing aide, or to protect Jean Allen or other Brandon Woods residents from further sexual abuse that evening” and did not suspend the male nursing aide until the next day, Oct. 22, 2010.

Also the next day MulQueen ordered Allen be sent to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for an examination, but she told staff members to say it was for a Medicare examination and not for a suspected sexual assault. The plaintiffs claim staff members misled Allen’s personal physician and that they also waited to take her to LMH until after her husband, Roger Allen, visited her that morning. He was also not told about the sexual assault allegation.

At the hospital, Brandon Woods staff resisted a request

by LMH staff to report the incident to police, saying Brandon Woods was “handling the matter internally.” After LMH staff insisted, Lawrence police were notified and began investigating the report.

Roger Allen received an

anonymous phone call that afternoon that his wife was being taken to LMH, and he and his son later returned to Brandon Woods and talked with Howell, who told them she was being taken there for a Medicare examination. Later, a Lawrence police officer at LMH told Roger Allen about the sexual assault allegation.

Skepnek says Brandon Woods employees also told LMH nurses that Allen had not been bathed since the day of the alleged assault but that Brandon Woods records show she was bathed after the alleged assault.

“The LMH sexual abuse examination did not discover genetic material that could help determine the method of the sexual abuse, or the identity of the person who had committed the crime,” Skepnek wrote and added that LMH physicians and nurses found lacerations and abrasions that they reported had left “no doubt” Allen had been sexually abused.

On Oct. 22, according to records, MulQueen was in phone contact with Brandon Woods leaders, including Merritt and Bingham.

The plaintiffs also said in the suit that they were not notified Allen was hospitalized weeks earlier on Oct. 3 for falling out of her bed and that they believe that was a result of a sexual assault as well.

After she was hospitalized in late October, the family transferred Allen, who was known in the Lawrence arts community and taught art classes at Kansas University and Haskell Indian Nations University when it was a junior college, to a new facility.

She died Nov. 26, 2010.

The lawsuit does not identify the nursing aide who was suspended on Oct. 22, although Skepnek said Allen’s roommate did identify someone.

Jefferson Co. man dies in U.S. 59 accident For the second time this week, a Jefferson County resident has died in a one-vehicle crash on the same stretch of U.S. Highway 59 three miles south of Oskaloosa.

According to a Kansas Highway Patrol report, Donald G. Vandyke, 54, of Perry, at 7:14 p.m. Wednesday was driving north on the highway when his 2003 Jeep Wrangler left the road, went across into the west ditch and rolled over.

Vandyke, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected, according to the accident report. No one else was in the vehicle.

The crash occurred 0.3 mile from where Marty L. Warriner, 42, of Oskaloosa, died after his southbound 1999 Dodge pickup truck went off the highway about 12:15 a.m. Monday and rolled once. Warriner was not wearing a seat belt, according to the highway patrol.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said this week that no one had been charged in connection with the sexual assault investigation that began at LMH. “It’s not an active criminal investigation,” Branson said.

The plaintiffs’ petition includes a count alleging that the staff’s actions violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act because Allen’s family had spent $150,000 on her care at Brandon Woods, and the attorneys said if they discover additional victims, they intend to broaden it into a class-action lawsuit.

“It’s in there because it’s something we may pursue depending on how the thing develops,” Skepnek said.

Scott Bloch, a former Lawrence attorney who once was a lightning rod for criticism when he headed the federal Office of Special Counsel under the Bush administration, is Skepnek’s co-counsel in the case. Bloch’s Washington, D.C., law firm specializes in class-action lawsuits.

The plaintiffs are seeking relief on eight counts, mostly for $150,000 per count.

MulQueen is no longer employed at Brandon Woods at Alvamar while Bingham and Howell are, according to Merritt, who said MulQueen’s departure was not related to the allegations in the suit.

“We do not believe it is appropriate to respond to individual allegations contained in the lawsuit,” Merritt said in his statement Thursday. “We will defend this lawsuit with strenuous challenges to the allegations as framed by the plaintiffs’ attorney. Our challenges will be presented in court.”

Douglas County Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild has not yet scheduled any hearings in the case.

Karlin, who lives in the Shawnee Mission area but grew up in Lawrence, said he had been considering a change for six or seven years. He went back to school full time to earn a master’s degree, student

taught and landed his first education job teaching algebra II and geometry to sophomores at Lawrence High School.

“It is definitely a grind at times, but it is much more rewarding at a personal level than anything I’ve experienced in the corporate world,” he said.

Part of Karlin’s goal is to convince students that the math classes they take in high school will some day influ-

ence their careers.

“I want to help them start thinking about things now so they can make better career decisions that will impact them after high school,” he said.

Lawrence has had nine Kansas Horizon Award awards since the program began 10 years ago.

Why is the stoplight at the junction of U.S. Highways 24-40 and 24-59 not on a sensor? It’s not even close to other lights with which it would need to be coordinated. I’ve sat there for what seems like endless minutes early on Saturday and Sunday mornings when I was the only car within sight for the entire time.

such routes. They found that the route would not take as much traffic off local streets and would not prevent as many accidents compared with a route through the wetlands. Opponents dispute both claims.

Thursday’s arguments could be the last legal step for the project, which has been debated for more than 20 years. Once the 10th Circuit rules on the matter, the U.S. Supreme Court is the only other court that could hear an appeal on the case.

The Supreme Court agrees to hear only a fraction of the cases that apply for review.

If state and federal officials prevail in the lawsuit, construction could begin by late 2013. If the court rules against the wetlands route, state officials have said the project would likely face an indefinite delay.

The trafficway project is designed to connect Interstate 70 to the west of Lawrence with Kansas Highway 10 east of Lawrence. The first two lanes of the western half of the road are built, but

more than 30 minutes.

Roadway opponents argued a noise study on the project was incomplete because it did not measure the predicted noise levels of the new SLT against the existing noise levels created by 31st Street. Such a comparison is part of the guidelines for a federal noise study. In fact, roadway opponents even pointed to a specific sentence in the noise study that admitted the two noise levels weren’t compared.

The road builders acknowledged the sentence, but said it was inaccurate because data in the report showed the two levels were compared. They also countered that the state has committed to building the project with noise barriers that will not allow noise levels in the wetlands to be higher than they are today.

Roadway opponents urged the court to find that federal highway officials had not properly researched the feasibility of a route that would build the bypass south of the Wakarusa River. But federal officials said they did study

O’Neal apologizes for Obama emails House speaker says he’s not stepping down as petition delivered

THE REVS. Tobias Schlingensiepen, left, and Jim McCollough deliver petition signatures Thursday in the Capitol seeking the ouster of House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, over recent emails he has forwarded.

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Two ministers on Thursday delivered more than 30,000 petition signatures calling for the resignation of House Speaker Mike O’Neal for an email he forwarded that referred to President Barack Obama and a Bible verse that says, “Let his days be few and brief.”

In a prepared statement, O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, issued an apology. O’Neal’s office said he is not stepping down.

After leaving the box of petition signatures in the speaker’s office, the Rev. Tobias Schlingensiepen, senior minister of the First Congregational Church in Topeka, said O’Neal’s apology went further than previous statements by the speaker.

But Schlingensiepen said O’Neal still should leave office.

KU School of Pharmacy Distinguished Professor Val Stella speaks Thursday to Senate Commerce Committee.

KU pharmacy prof. touts school’s work TOPEKA — Legislators on Thursday applauded the Kansas University School of Pharmacy after hearing a presentation by Val Stella on cancer drugs and other medicines being developed there.

“We talk about economic development, but the bottom line is we are saving lives,” Stella, a distinguished professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, told the Senate Commerce Committee.

Stella reviewed several major drugs developed at KU during the past several decades.

“What an exciting story,” said Committee Chairwoman Susan Wagle, R-Wichita.

With recent expansion, the pharmacy school has increased its enrollment from 105 students per year to 170 students per year.

Pharmacy School Chairman Ken Audus said that in two of the last three years, the school has brought in more than $20 million in federal research, he said. The school ranks in the top five in the nation in National Institutes of Health funding.

Department of Aging suffers possible breach The Kansas Department on Aging announced Thursday that it is attempting to notify customers of a potential breach of their personal and protected health information.

On Jan. 12, a laptop computer, flash drive and paper files were stolen from a secured vehicle used by an employee in Wichita.

The files, which contained personal and protected health information, primarily involved customers in Sedgwick, Harvey and Butler counties.

Sara Arif, the department’s director of public affairs, said Douglas County residents may be affected by the breach, but the chances are slim.

The stolen items have not been recovered, and there is no indication the information has been accessed and misused.

The stolen data and documents may include: full customer names, complete addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, gender, in-home services program participation information, Medicaid identification numbers, case management location and case manager names and telephone numbers. No banking, credit card or driver’s license information was involved.

Customers are encouraged to check for updated information the KDOA website at www.agingkansas.org or they may call the department tollfree at 855-477-0395.

His recent emails that have attracted national attention “tears at the civility of this country,” Schlingensiepen said.

Rep. Melody McCray-Miller, D-Wichita, said she wants the House to issue some kind of sanction against the speaker. She said the speaker’s actions need to be taken seriously and “need to stop.”

The petition against O’Neal was put together by the online network Faithful America and criticizes the speaker for forwarding an email that cites Psalm 109:8

that says, “Let his days be few and brief; and let others step forward to replace him.”

The email states: “At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray.

Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!”.

The petition reads: “As people of faith, we believe that Scripture should never be used to justify praying for the death of anyone. Speaker O’Neal’s hateful abuse of Scripture is unacceptable and a disgrace

to his office, and he should immediately resign.”

Schlingensiepen and the Rev. Jim McCollough, executive director of the Topeka Center for Peace and Justice, noted the next verse in the psalm talks about making children orphans and a wife a widow.

But O’Neal has said he was referring to Obama’s days in office, not his death.

“I respect the President and the office,” O’Neal said in his statement. “The forward contained a single verse and was only intended as election commentary regarding the President’s days in office.

I have apologized and I am sincerely sorry.”

In recent weeks, O’Neal has also apologized for forwarding an email that referred to first lady Michelle Obama as “Mrs. YoMama” and compared a picture of her to the Grinch. O’Neal said he forwarded that email too without being aware of the “Mrs. YoMama” reference.

Fiery debate tops bizarre GOP campaign day in S.C.

By David Espo Associated Press

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — The race for the Republican presidential nomination took a turn toward the South Carolina surreal Thursday as Rick Perry dropped out, Newt Gingrich faced stunning allegations from an ex-wife and Mitt Romney struggled to maintain a shaky front-runner’s standing.

An aggressive evening debate capped the bewildering day.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum played aggressor for much of the night, trying to inject himself into what seemed increasingly like a two-way race with

BRIEFLY Report: Sex poses low risk to heart patients CHICAGO — Good news: Sex is safe for most heart patients.

If you’re healthy enough to walk up two flights of stairs without chest pain or gasping for breath, you can have a love life.

That advice from a leading doctors’ group on Thursday addresses one of the most pressing, least discussed issues facing survivors of heart attacks and other heart patients.

In its first science-based recommendations on the subject, the American Heart Association says having sex only slightly raises the chance for a heart attack. And that’s true for people with and without heart disease.

Surprisingly, despite the higher risk for a heart patient to have a second attack, there’s no evidence that they have more sex-related heart attacks than people without cardiac disease.

The report says sex is something doctors should bring up with all heart patients. Yet few do because they’re uncomfortable talking about it or they lack information, Levine said.

The new guidance is designed to fill that gap.

Heart patients should get a doctor’s OK before engaging in sexual activity. Many may be advised first to do cardiac rehab — exercise while being monitored for heart symptoms, to improve heart strength and increase physical fitness. But the heart association says most eventually will be cleared to resume sexual activity.

World not quite as hot in 2011 WASHINGTON — The world last year wasn’t quite as warm as it has been for most of the past decade, government scientists said Thursday, but it continues a general trend of rising temperatures.

The average global temperature was 57.9 degrees Fahrenheit, making 2011 the 11th hottest on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. That’s 0.9 degrees warmer than the 20th century average, officials said.

In fact, it was hotter than every year last century except 1998.

One reason 2011 was milder than recent years was the La Niña cooling of the central Pacific Ocean. La Niñas occur every few years and generally cause global temperatures to drop, but this was the warmest La Niña year on record.

This marks the 35th straight year that global temperatures were warmer than normal.

NOAA’s records for world average temperatures date back to 1880.

Brownback says Perry fought hard race Now that his candidate — Rick Perry — is out of the presidential race, Gov. Sam Brownback is not throwing his support behind anyone else in the contest at this point, Brownback’s office said Thursday.

“Rick is a great guy and ran a hard race,” Brownback said.

“I’m glad he engaged the discussion on how to turn our country around, and I know he’ll continue little more than a day remaining until the South Carolina polls open on Saturday. He accused Gingrich and Romney of “playing footsies with the left” when it came to health

being a successful governor in Texas — leading the country in job creation,” he said.

Brownback, a friend of Perry’s, made headlines last summer as the only governor to appear in person with Perry at a stadium prayer event in Houston that was put on by several groups that are highly critical of homosexuality and abortion rights.

In September, Brownback care. Both men rejected the allegations.

The debate began a few hours after first word that Romney had been stripped of his Iowa caucus victory, only

endorsed Perry.

In 2007, Brownback, then a U.S. senator, ran for the Republican Party nomination for president, but his campaign failed to gain any traction.

Shortly afterward, he endorsed the eventual GOP nominee, Sen. John McCain.

During that campaign, Brownback was critical of Mitt Romney, the current GOP frontrunner. to be stung a few hours later

by Perry’s withdrawal and endorsement of Gingrich.

Gingrich, in turn, was accused by an ex-wife of seeking an open marriage so he

could keep his mistress.

“Newt’s not perfect, but who among us is,” said Perry, abruptly quitting the race just before the first-in-theSouth primary.

His decision to end a oncepromising candidacy left Romney, Gingrich, Santorum and Texas Rep. Ron Paul the remaining contenders in the race to pick a Republican to challenge Democratic President Barack Obama this fall.

Nine hours after Perry exited one stage, the four remaining contenders walked onto another for a final preprimary debate.

Gingrich angrily denounced the news media for putting his ex-wife front

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable The economy is off to a fast start in 2012.

The outlook for hiring has brightened as applications for unemployment benefits near a four-year low.

Adding to the optimism, inflation remains low, business travel is up and the home market is showing slight gains after three dismal years.

That’s the picture sketched by a flurry of data Thursday.

It followed other reports that show the economy began the year with vitality: Companies are hiring more, consumer confidence is up, more people are buying cars and factories are making more goods.

Ex-photo king Kodak files for Chapter 11

By Ben Dobbin Associated Press

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Kodak’s moment has come and gone.

The glory days, when Eastman Kodak Co. ruled the world of film photography, lasted for over a century. Then came a stunning reversal of fortune: cutthroat competition from Japanese firms in the 1980s and a seismic shift to the digital technology it pioneered but couldn’t capitalize on. Now comes a wistful worry that this American business icon is edging toward extinction.

Kodak filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Thursday, raising the specter that the 132-year-old trailblazer could become the most storied casualty of a digital age.

Already a shadow of its former self, cash-poor Kodak will reorganize in bankruptcy court, as it seeks to boost its cash position and stay in business. The Rochester, N.Y.-based company hopes to peddle a trove of photo patents and morph into a new-look powerhouse built around printers and ink. Even if it succeeds, it seems unlikely to ever resemble what its red-on-yellow K logo long stood for — a brand synonymous in every corner of the planet with capturing, collecting and sharing images.

“Kodak played a role in pretty much everyone’s life in the 20th century because it was the company we entrusted our most treasured pos-

session to — our memories,” said Robert Burley, a photography professor at Ryerson University in Toronto.

Its yellow boxes of film, point-and-shoot Brownie and Instamatic cameras, and those hand-sized prints that made it possible for countless millions to freeze-frame their world “were the products used to remember — and really define — what that entire century looked like,” Burley said.

“One of the interesting parts of this bankruptcy story is everyone’s saddened by it,” he continued. “There’s a kind of emotional connection to Kodak for many people. You could find that name inside every American household and, in the last five years, it’s disappeared.”

Kodak has notched just one profitable year since 2004. At the end of a four-year digital makeover during which it dynamited aged factories, chopped and changed businesses and eliminated tens of thousands of jobs, it closed 2007 on a high note with net income of $676 million.

It soon ran smack into the recession — and its momentum reversed.

Years of investor worries over whether Kodak might seek protection from its creditors intensified in September when it hired major restructuring law firm Jones Day as an adviser. Its stock, which topped $94 in 1997, slid below $1 a share for the first time and,

by Jan. 6, hit an all-time closing low of 37 cents.

and center in the final days of the race. “Let me be clear, the story is false,” he said.

Santorum, Romney and Paul steered well clear of the controversy. “Let’s get onto the real issues, that’s all I’ve got to say,” said Romney, although he pointed out that he and his wife, Ann, have been married for 42 years.

The audience gave Gingrich a standing ovation when he assailed the media, a reaction he can only hope is reflected in voter sentiment on Saturday.

All four remaining GOP candidates lustily attacked Obama, while Santorum in particular sought to raise his own profile.

Poe fans call an end to ‘Toaster’ tradition BALTIMORE — Edgar Allan Poe fans waited long past a midnight dreary, but it appears annual visits to the writer’s grave in Baltimore by a mysterious figure called the “Poe Toaster” shall occur nevermore.

Poe House and Museum Curator Jeff Jerome said early Thursday that die-hard fans waited hours past when the tribute bearer normally arrives.

But the “Poe Toaster” was a noshow for a third year in a row, leaving another unanswered question in a mystery worthy of the writer’s legacy. Poe fans had said they would hold one last vigil this year before calling an end to the tradition.

“It’s over with,” Jerome said wearily. “It will probably hit me later, but I’m too tired now to feel anything else.”

Vital vaccines Kansas legislators should head off efforts to expand exemptions for childhood vaccinations.

P

arents’ rights over their children are important, but broadening the exemptions for childhood vaccinations isn’t in the best interests of the state.

Kansas legislators heard testimony Wednesday concerning a bill that would allow parents or guardians to refuse immunizations for their children on the basis of conscience or personal belief. Current state law requires children to be immunized against diseases such as chicken pox, measles, mumps and rubella before they can enroll in school unless their parent or guardian seeks an exemption for religious reasons. It could be argued that personal belief is as valid as religious belief on this matter, but any legislation that encourages more people to bypass childhood immunizations is detrimental to public health.

The state’s epidemiologist testified that states that have broadened their vaccination exemption laws have seen an increase in preventable diseases. Parents who are seeking the additional exemption say the choice of whether to have their children vaccinated should be theirs alone. That would be a valid argument if their vaccination decision affected only their children, but that isn’t the case.

For instance, an outbreak of a communicable disease can endanger children too young to be vaccinated.

It’s interesting how parental attitudes toward vaccinations have changed. A generation or two ago, there were no vaccines for childhood diseases like chicken pox, measles of mumps. Children obtained their immunity by getting those diseases. Most children weathered such illnesses with no lasting effects. Unfortunately, some did not. Vaccines are not without risk, but neither are these diseases.

Rep. Brenda Landwehr, R-Wichita, who chairs the House Health and Human Services Committee, said at Wednesday’s hearing that she did not support the bill because “I still remember polio.” Many older Kansans also remember that disease, which cast a wave of fear across the nation in the 1930s, ‘40s and especially the early 1950s. There certainly was no hesitation to receive the polio vaccine when it became widely available in 1955. Because of effective vaccines, polio was eliminated in the United States by 1979.

It’s ironic that the comfort level of the minority of parents who don’t want their children vaccinated against childhood diseases is a direct result of the fact that the vast majority of children are vaccinated, thereby eliminating the risk of a potentially dangerous epidemic.

Maybe it isn’t totally fair to grant vaccination exemptions on the basis of religious, but not personal, beliefs, but any move that expands exemptions in the state is a bad idea.

U.S. pressure already affecting Iran WASHINGTON — The squeeze is already beginning on Iran’s oil exports — and guess which nation quietly reduced its purchases from Tehran this month.

Why, that would be China, Iran’s supposed protector.

The Chinese cut their imports from Iran roughly in half for January, trimming 285,000 barrels per day from their average last year of about 550,000 barrels per day, according to Nat Kern, the publisher of Foreign Reports, a respected industry newsletter.

Iran’s reduced sales to China, its biggest oil customer, resulted from a dispute over payment terms, Kern explains. But it’s an early sign of what may be significant reductions in Iranian exports to Europe and Asia, as buyers there hedge against the likelihood of tighter sanctions.

Here’s how Kern and other oil industry analysts add up the potential dents in Iran’s exports, which were 2.2 million barrels a day last year. First, U.S. allies are considering sanctions: Europe has agreed on an embargo that by year-end could cut about 450,000 daily barrels; Japan is talking about cutting 100,000 barrels; South Korean officials have discussed a reduction of 40,000 barrels. Even nonaligned countries are getting nervous about Iran’s reliability: Indian refineries, for example, bought extra oil from Saudi Arabia in January “just in case.”

The oil-market action shows how pressure by the U.S. and its allies is affecting the Iranian

“

Analysts reckon that even if sanctions are only partly successful, Iran is likely to lose about 20 percent of its oil export volume and 25 percent of its revenues. For an economy that is already weak, that loss of revenue will be painful.”

economy. Analysts reckon that even if sanctions are only partly successful, Iran is likely to lose about 20 percent of its oil export volume and 25 percent of its revenues. For an economy that is already weak, that loss of revenue will be painful.

What’s driving this new squeeze is legislation signed Dec. 31 by President Obama, which authorizes him to ban dealings with the Iranian central bank. These new sanctions would prevent Iran from selling or shipping oil through normal channels. The Iranians and their buyers might find alternate financial arrangements — “special purpose ve-

hicles” to handle the transactions — yet buyers would probably demand discounts, reducing Iran’s revenues. Iran could also smuggle oil through Iraq, but again, only at a discount.

The payments haggle between Iran and China illustrates Tehran’s new vulnerability. According to Kern, the Chinese cut the 285,000 barrels when Iran refused a request for better credit terms.

The difference amounted to just 50 cents a barrel, but the Iranians apparently feared that if they gave China a discount, other purchasers would want one, too.

As China puts the screws to Iran, it’s warming its relations with Saudi Arabia — which can cushion the market by tapping its 2 million barrels a day of spare capacity. A symbol of closer SinoSaudi contact was the visit to Riyadh last weekend by Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, who inked a $10 billion joint refinery project.

“We are supplying our crude, but receiving the money with some difficulty — for sure,” said Mohsen Qamsari, director of international affairs for the Iranian national oil company, in an interview this month with Reuters cited by Kern.

Kern says Iran probably won’t be able to restore the lost exports to China until March or April. “At that time, the Obama administration could point to a substantial reduction in China’s imports of Iranian crude as a basis for excepting Chinese banks from the punitive measures,” explains Kern’s current newsletter.

Administration officials say they hope to avoid sanctioning China, which among other things is America’s biggest creditor.

Can the U.S.-led effort cripple Iran’s oil exports without triggering a panicky price rise in the market? The problem is eased in part by Saudi Arabia’s extra margin of capacity. Saudi officials have said they aren’t seeking to replace Iranian oil, but simply to supply what the market needs — still, the effect is the same. Meanwhile, increased production from Libya and Iraq will likely add another 500,000 barrels a day. All told, experts reckon there’s a buffer of about 3 million barrels a day — making for a thin cushion of spare capacity if all 2.2 million barrels of Iran’s exports were somehow curtailed.

And what will Tehran do, if Europeans and Asians reduce purchases of Iranian oil? Probably load it in tankers — carrying 40 million barrels or more — and park them outside the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranians might imagine they’d be sitting pretty if they tried to close the strait — but experts note their floating reserve would also be hard to protect, and vulnerable to seizure.

And all that extra oil afloat might have a downward effect on prices, notes Kern. Almost any way you look at it, Iran is likely to have an oil problem in 2012.

City Manager Buford Watson announced today that Lawrence YEARS had been awarded AGO $104,960 in fedIN 1972 eral funding for the Holcom Sports Complex. Lawrence Parks and Recreation Director Wayne Bly said that he was “very happy” about the funding but noted that formal approval still needed to come from federal officials. The grants were to be matched 5050 with city funds. The sports complex was expected to cost roughly $200,000 and was to include four lighted baseball diamonds, bleachers, parking, and a building on a 40-acre tract between 25th and 26th streets about two blocks west of Iowa.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 20, 1912: YEARS “At a meeting of AGO the University IN 1912 Council held last night it was decided that all dancing at the annual University Prom must close at two o’clock and that all lights at the affair must be extinguished at two thirty. This means that the dancing will be over fully one half hour earlier than ever. This decision of the University Council is a wise one and is right in line with the movement that has been coming at the University to do away with the very late hours kept at Junior Proms in the past when they have been held until three or four o’clock in the morning.”

“It is a matter of much satisfaction that Lawrence has a new opera house. There has been a demand for this for a long time.

But there was no way to get it without entailing a big loss.

When a great calamity visited this town it made possible this splendid new building. Mr. Bowersock has built a theatre that is a monument to himself, a credit to the city and the best building of the kind in the state.”

Altered anthem bothers Self

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Releford excels at ‘little things’ Here’s what’s really cool about Kansas University junior wing Travis Releford: You never hear him say he’s a combination of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

Releford arrived on campus as most elite athletes do, eager to play right away. He sat the bench as a freshman and took it like a man. Before his sophomore season started, Releford listened to coach Bill Self tell him that he thinks it would be better for his development to red-shirt because he would be a more developed basketball player and produce more in his fifth year than in his second.

A talented athlete who plays with the aggression of a junkyard dog, Releford is the last guy in the NCAA who would allow an attorney to send out press releases explaining he has been wronged.

For a guy who has produced so well for a basketball program that once had a beat writer grill the coach for a good 10 minutes about the strengths, weaknesses, anticipated tangible and intangible contributions of a walk-on who had averaged 2.4 points per game in junior college basketball, Releford doesn’t have such a thick scrapbook.

Releford doesn’t have to say he’s committed to Kansas. He shows it every day, so nobody ever asks the question. He’s committed to the team. He shows that in every practice, every game, every mandatory team meeting, so nobody ever asks the question.

He enjoys talking about the accomplishments of teammates Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor and did so again before Thursday’s practice.

Releford does a little bit of everything but is the lone starter who doesn’t lead the team in any major official statistical category.

Robinson leads in scoring and rebounding, Taylor in minutes, three-point shooting percentage and assists, Jeff Withey in fieldgoal percentage and blocked shots, Elijah Johnson in steals.

Releford does lead the team in an unofficial statistic tracked by assistant athletic director/ media relations Chris Theisen, a category he calls “floorburns.”

It’s a subjective statistic that includes hustle plays such as deflections, flying out of bounds to make saves, hitting the floor for loose balls, etc. Releford leads the team with 49, and Robinson is second with 35. Releford and Robinson also share the team lead in charges drawn (four).

“I had no idea,” Releford said.

“I didn’t know we were keeping stats in anything like that. I try to do all the little things, do the hustle plays, stop the opponent’s best scorer and rebound, just the little things that help a team to be great.”

The best player he’s ever seen at doing the little things?

“I can’t name one off the top of my head right now,” Releford said.

Of course he can’t. Players don’t aspire to be the best in the game at little things. They want to be great, and they want to win. So they emulate stars. It won’t be his turn to fill that role until next year, so he has figured out how to become as valuable to teammates as possible.

“I would say Travis probably plays with as much energy as anybody,” Self said.

That approach will lead to a paint-peeling Senior Night ovation in 2013 as the end of five years of dedicated service nears. People sure will be sorry to see him go.

LAWRENCE HIGH PLAYERS EXPECTANTLY LOOK TO AN OFFICIAL for his signal on Shane Willoughby’s shot at the buzzer. The goal was ruled a three-pointer, giving LHS a 57-56 victory over Wichita Northwest in the Lions’ opener in the Topeka Invitational Tournament on Thursday at Highland Park.

Was-it-or-wasn’t-it 3 lifts LHS

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Ask a member of Lawrence High’s boys basketball team about Shane Willoughby’s buzzer-beating shot to end the game Thursday in the first round of the Topeka Invitational, and he’ll likely smile, shrug his shoulders and respond Q Follow something along area high the lines of: Hey, schools on the refs called it a Twitter: three. @LJWpreps There is no denying that. The officials ruled Willoughby’s last-second jumper a three-pointer, which made it a game-winner in the Lions’ 57-56 victory over Wichita Northwest.

With just 2.5 seconds left, LHS senior KJ Pritchard passed the ball to Willoughby, near the left sideline and behind the three-point arc. The 5-foot-9 junior guard dribbled toward the line and pulled up to nail his first field goal of the game as time expired.

After the controversial ending, Lawrence coach Mike Lewis said he was glad the call ended up in favor of the Lions.

“I just saw the official put both hands up, the guy who was right behind Shane, and that’s good enough for me,” Lewis said.

The decisive play wasn’t drawn up for Willoughby, but once he got the ball, the junior said his only concern was firing his shot with confidence.

“I was just trying to get it off. I wasn’t necessarily trying to get a three or a two,” the smiling junior said. “It happened to be a three, and we won the game.”

Considering he was the one who took the shot, Willoughby had to weigh in on the controversy, especially after his teammates gave him a hard time about the shot being a two-pointer.

“Honestly, I thought we were going to overtime,” he said.

Despite all the hysteria surrounding the final play, Lewis was proud of how his team played in the seconds leading up to that point — and the entire game, for that matter. The Lions were down, 5451, in the final minute before senior Please see LHS, page 3B

FSHS wins on old-school trey play J-W Staff Reports

MCPHERSON — Gabe Patterson’s three-point play gave Free State the lead, and the Firebirds held on for a 52-50 high school boys basketball victory over Buhler on Thursday in the McPherson Invitational.

The Firebirds ended a sevengame losing streak and earned a spot in the semifinals at 6:30 tonight against Blue Valley West.

Free State built a 12-point lead midway throught the third quarter, but Buhler fought back to take a one-point edge with less than two minutes remaining. Patterson’s traditional three-point play gave the Firebirds a 52-50 lead with a little more than one minute left. Buhler held the ball the rest of the way but misfired on a 28-foot shot just before the final buzzer.

“We lost seven games in a row,

so we’ll take a win however we can get it,” Free State coach Chuck Law said. “Hopefully this win will springboard us into something productive tomorrow night.”

Cole Moreano and Brett Frantz scored 15 points apiece for Free State (3-7). Frantz also totaled five rebounds and four assists. Patterson contributed 11 points and six rebounds.

For some inexplicable reason, the words “Home of the Chiefs” instead of “Home of the Brave” emanate from Kansas University’s student section at the conclusion of the “Star-Spangled Banner” before KU basketball games in Allen Fieldhouse.

Ninth-year KU coach Bill Self hopes that peculiar rendition of the national anthem will end as soon as the next home game — Monday versus Texas A&M. “I kept asking my wife, ‘What are they saying?’’’ said Self, informed by wife, Cindy, that some of the students mimic fans at Arrowhead Stadium — the true Home of the Chiefs — while singing Self the anthem.

“I said, ‘I didn’t know they were saying that. I couldn’t tell.’ I don’t think that’s good. I don’t think it’s anything we should be proud about as students to carry that on, because I don’t see the place for it when you are honoring your country,” Self added.

Nobody knows exactly when it started, but some of the KU students in the end zones have been chanting “Home of the Chiefs” several seasons now.

Some of them perform the “tomahawk chop” when singing those words.

Of course, many students do not take part in the altering of the song.

“That’s one tradition that in my opinion certainly we could do without,” Self said. “I think it’d be more respectful toward the anthem and what that stands for to go ahead and use the actual words to it than putting in their own. I think they should stick to Francis Scott Key’s words. I think that would be more appropriate.”

O

Anniversary coming: KU’s game against Texas on Saturday (3 p.m., Erwin Center, Austin, Texas) will be played on the one-year anniversary of the death of Thomas Robinson’s mother, Lisa.

“This weekend I’m sure will be emotional for him,” Self said.

“You look at the similarities — one-year anniversary, playing Texas, there’s a lot of things.”

The Jayhawks learned of Lisa’s death in the late-evening hours last Jan. 21, the night before KU’s 74-63 loss to the Longhorns — a loss that snapped KU’s schoolrecord 69-game homecourt win streak. The players and several of the players’ mothers consoled Robinson all night/morning long up until game time.

Robinson won’t be asked to re-live the memories publicly this week.

Weis finishes staff, hires Cross from Wisconsin

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis on Thursday named DeMontie Cross as KU’s linebackers coach, the final piece to Weis’ coaching-staff puzzle.

Cross, who recently finished his first season as special-teams coordinator and safeties coach

at the University of Wisconsin, arrives at Kansas with college and NFL experience.

Prior to his one season at Wisconsin, Cross spent the previous five seasons in various positions with the Buffalo Bills. He joined the Bills as a defensive/ special-teams assistant in 2006 and was promoted to assistant linebackers coach/special teams for three seasons. In 2010 Cross

was promoted again, coaching the Bills’ inside linebackers.

Cross made the jump to the NFL after spending the 2001-05 seasons as Iowa State’s outsidelinebackers coach and specialteams coordinator.

While at Iowa State, Cross’ unit made major contributions to the Cyclones’ record-setting defenses during his stint. He helped develop Jeremy Loyd

into an All-Big 12 performer; Loyd went on to play for the St. Louis Rams.

Cross, a St. Louis native, began his coaching career as the outside-linebackers coach at his alma mater, Missouri (1998-99).

A 1997 Missouri graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business management, Cross made Cross Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

PSU trustees explain Paterno decision STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn State trustees say they decided to oust Joe Paterno in part because the football coach didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet a moral obligation to do more to alert authorities about a child sex abuse allegation against a retired assistant coach.

Trustees interviewed Thursday by the Associated Press also cited statements from Paterno in the days and hours leading to his dismissal Nov. 9 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after nearly a half-century of leading the Nittany Lions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that they felt challenged the Board of Trusteesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; authority. Board members saw that as inappropriate, particularly at a time of intense scrutiny over the case of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

Sandusky was charged with dozens of child sex abuse counts four days before Paterno was pushed out. The head coach had testified before a state grand jury about a 2002 allegation against Sandusky that was passed on to him by a graduate assistant.

A day after the graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, came to see him, Paterno relayed the accusations to his superiors, one of whom oversaw campus police.

Board members didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that was enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an obligation, a moral responsibility, for all adults to watch out for children, either your own or someone else,â&#x20AC;? trustee Mark Dambly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was in our opinion that Joe Paterno did

not meet his moral obligation and for that reason â&#x20AC;&#x201D; me, personally for that reason, I felt he could no longer lead the university and it was unanimous.â&#x20AC;?

But Dambly and three other trustees interviewed Thursday on the Penn State campus said they still intended to honor Paternoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments and contributions to the school. He won a Division I record 409 games over 46 seasons and the Paterno family has donated millions of dollars to the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously Joe Paterno is a worldwide icon and has done a tremendous amount for the university,â&#x20AC;? trustee Joel Myers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have sorrow and all kinds of emotions, empathy, sympathy for

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Well, actually, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true.

Specific words uttered in a specific context can inflict as much pain to the psyche as a blow to the stomach or nose.

Although some words have higher profiles than others, anything uttered with the intent to demean or insult because of race, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation or any number of cultural differences can inflict severe emotional pain.

The N-word has been deemed so bad that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve resorted to calling it the Nword. But if done with the same intent to insult, is calling a white person a â&#x20AC;&#x153;redneckâ&#x20AC;? really any different?

While I believe that certain words, especially those that are used to promote prejudice, can hurt, does that make the use of them criminal?

In a couple of weeks, a fascinating study in the fight against racism will begin when Chelsea and England national-team captain John Terry is scheduled to appear at West London Magistratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court on charges that he committed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;racially aggravated public order offense.â&#x20AC;?

Terry has been accused of directing â&#x20AC;&#x153;racially abusiveâ&#x20AC;? words toward Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand, who is black, near the end of a Premier League match on Oct. 23.

Videotape shows Terry twice yelling obscenities and the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;blackâ&#x20AC;? at Ferdinand. That was enough for prosecutors to charge Terry with a crime that carries a possible fine of $4,000. Terry did not deny saying the words during a verbal clash with Ferdinand, but he said the words have been taken out of context. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never aimed a racist remark at anyone and count people from all races and creeds among my closest friends,â&#x20AC;?

Terry said.

Living in a nation with the First Amendment that allows people to hurl all kinds of insults without fear of penalty from the government, I find myself wondering if Great Britain knows something that we do not.

Just the other day, a man in Scotland was charged with â&#x20AC;&#x153;racially aggravated harassment,â&#x20AC;? for sending racial insults via Twitter to Glasgow Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu, who is African American.

I knew that racism in English football was considered a damaging blight that had to be eliminated, especially as more foreign players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly those from African nations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; became desired acquisitions. But it never occurred to me that â&#x20AC;&#x153;racial insultsâ&#x20AC;? could actually be prosecuted as a crime.

Can you imagine how busy our U.S. court system would be if we had a law that made using racially abusive language a misdemeanor subject to fines? It sure would go a long way in helping solve our budget-deficit problem.

Still, as much as I abhor racism, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wrap myself around the idea that someone should be charged criminally for speaking or tweeting a racial slur.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at the end of many racial insults in my lifetime, but no matter how angry I got, I never thought I should be able to call the police and have someone arrested.

Yes, words can wound deeply, but making their use a crime is too slippery of a slope and invites too much potential for abuse and misuse.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying Terry or anybody else should not be held accountable for their words, I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the criminaljustice system is the answer.

RAFAEL NADAL RETURNS A SHOT TO Lukas Lacko during the third round of the Australian Open. Nadal won the match, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2, today in Melbourne, Australia.

Nadalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee fine during Australian victory MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rafael Nadal moved into the fourth round of the Australian Open without dropping a set or showing any signs that a freak knee injury is bothering him.

Second-ranked Nadal had a 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 victory today over Slovakiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lukas Lacko, the last qualifier in the draw, and will next play either John Isner or Feliciano Lopez.

Nadal, who won the 2009 Australian title but has gone out in the quarterfinals due to injuries in the last two years, felt a crack and then sharp pain in his right knee while sitting in a chair at his hotel on the weekend and was concerned that he might not be able to play in his opening match. Medical tests didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show any serious damage, and he has had the knee heavily taped in his three matches since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The knee is fine. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important thing,â&#x20AC;? the 10-time major winner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The match was a really complete match, a really solid one.

On the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki continued her quest for a first major title with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Monica Niculescu of Romania.

guard Logan Henrichs took a pass from Pritchard and drilled a three-pointer with 14 seconds to go.

Wichita NW (7-2) regained the lead on a two-handed jam by 6-foot-8 senior Spenser Gales with four seconds left.

After LHS (6-4) got the ball in and up to mid-court, Lewis called a timeout, setting up the dramatic finish.

“Our so-to-speak bigger guns were covered, and Shane was open, and he took advantage of the moment,” the coach said after Willoughby finished with four points.

A trio of seniors — Pritchard and Henrichs, along with Shane’s older brother, Troy — helped carry the Lions for most of the game.

Lawrence missed its first six shots of the fourth quarter and was down seven points before Pritchard cut to the hoop for a basket more than three minutes into the final period. The cagy senior, who finished with 21 points, then hit a little jump-hook in the post that cut Northwest’s lead to 49-44 with just more than four minutes to go.

Troy drove to the basket for buckets twice in the next two minutes, getting a foul and three-point play on the first one. Between those key scores, Henrichs secured

to various members of the KU athletic department a couple of hours before the team meeting and is currently being reviewed by KU’s Student-Athlete Appeals Board.

“The SAAB inquiry will focus on whether the decision was fair and just given the circumstances,” wrote Berglund’s attorney, Vince Linden. “Any objective observer, shown all the facts, will know that the decision was not only unfair, but was arbitrary and capricious, and should be overturned. It will be very interesting to hear KU’s explanation, particularly in light of the fact that it so gleefully courted players who were granted releases from their own respective programs, and wished the best of luck by their former coaches.”

A KU spokesperson said university officials had no comment because the matter is pending an appeal. A decision is expected in the next week or so.

The press release also revealed a couple of things about KU’s quarterback plans, past and present: For starters, Berglund claims that he was told by the previous coaching staff that he would compete for the starting job immediately. What’s more, the release indicates that Powlus, the current KU quarterbacks coach, told Ber-

glund that Notre Dame transfer Dayne Crist would start in 2012.

felt sorry for anybody. They wanted to be coached.

“I asked them (players) ...

‘Do you want to talk about anything other than Thomas’ situation and how we all feel about it, because we can do that or do we want to talk about that and (also) try to get better?’ They said, ‘Coach, we’ve got to do both.

The world doesn’t stop. You have to keep moving.’

“I think they handled that extremely well. That’s a tribute to our players and our fans. They made Thomas feel like he had family here.

I don’t think there’s many places in America ... they would try, but I’m not sure many actually could get it done like KU people did.”

Self has said one of the reasons Robinson is doing so well is that his sister, Jayla, is thriving in Washington, D.C. She lives with her father, James Paris.

KU senior Tyshawn Taylor said he’s seen no change in Robinson with the anniversary approaching.

“He’s a soldier. He’s handled it well and I think will continue to hold up,” Taylor said. “He handled it better than a lot of people I know, definitely better than I would.

“We are there for him,”

Taylor added. “If he does break down, we will be there.

He hasn’t mentioned it. He hasn’t seemed any different.

We’re fine.”

Crawley visit ongoing?

Washington, D.C., cornerback Kenneth Crawley, a four-star prospect out of H.D. Woodson High who recently backed out of his commitment to Tennessee, announced Thursday on Twitter that he was on a flight bound for Kansas.

Crawley, 6-foot-1, 170 pounds, is teammates with former KU commitment De’Jon Wilson, who had pledged to join the Jayhawks but backed out after the firing of Turner Gill and now is orally committed to Colorado.

According to Rivals.com, Crawley is the No. 2-ranked cornerback in Maryland and the 21st-ranked player at his position overall.

With just two weekends remaining before signing day (Feb. 1), KU, which has oral commitments from a dozen players in the Class of 2012 — plus three already on campus — figures to turn things up a notch in an attempt to fill out Weis’ first recruiting class.

Some recruiting analysts have said that KU could have as many as 10 visitors in town this weekend. Included among them are: Crawley, Florida linebacker Schyler Miles and East Los Angeles CC cornerback Nasir Moore.

As was the case in the final seconds, Lawrence’s hot shooting from long range was the difference in the win.

The Lions finished 9-for-23 from downtown but really started clicking in the second half, when they went 7-for-14.

The Lions did all of that without their starting center.

Lewis said sophomore Bryce Montes de Oca tweaked an ankle earlier in the week and visited the doctor Thursday.

LHS learned on the drive to Highland Park that the big man would be unavailable.

Lewis said Montes de Oca is out for the remainder of the tournament, but the Lions are looking forward to tonight’s 8:30 game against Topeka High.

and then (Saturday). I don’t think that’s fair to him to have to go through that,” Self said. “I am so amazed at how well he’s done. He has a lot of support around him. He’d probably be the first to say that. Still, he’s playing with a smile on his face. He seems like a happy kid, but he’s carrying a much bigger burden than anybody else is carrying at his age for the most part.”

KU’s entire team attended Lisa’s funeral service on Jan. 27, 2011, in Washington, D.C. “I was so proud of our administration (and) the NCAA for allowing us to do some things. She may have not had a funeral (had KU not been able to pay). Things you take for granted, buying a casket, things like that,” Self said.

“That was a prime example of a group of guys actually becoming a family. It was cool to watch. I think it’s hard to become a family unless you go through a crisis-type situation. That was a crisistype situation. To see how everybody responded to that ... at the same time, nobody

Tough place to play: Louisville coach Rick Pitino says Allen Fieldhouse is the most “overpowering” arena in the country.

“Now, I have not taken a team to Duke. There really is not any place I’ve entered where it’s, ‘God, that’s just incredible, what an advantage that is,’’’ Pitino said in an article Thursday on Zagsblog.com. “I don’t think the Joyce is any more difficult than any other place, to be honest with you,” Pitino added, asked about Notre Dame’s Joyce Center. “The only place I’ve found (is Allen) and that could’ve been I was playing with four walkons and lost by 50 points, so maybe that was the reason I felt that way.”

KU pounded Pitino’s Kentucky Wildcats, 150-95, on Dec. 9, 1989, in Allen.

Heat 98, Lakers 87 MIAMI — LeBron James shook off flu-like symptoms to score 31 points, Chris Bosh scored 15, and Miami won its second straight, topping the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.

Shane Battier scored 11, and Mario Chalmers finished with 10 for Miami. James was sent home from the team’s shootaround practice earlier in the day to rest and finished with eight rebounds and eight assists to go with 12-for27 shooting.

Pau Gasol scored a seasonhigh 26 for the Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 24, and Andrew Bynum finished with 15 points and 12 rebounds.

Miami moved to 5-0 this season without Dwyane Wade, who missed his second straight game due to a sprained right ankle. He missed three games earlier this season because of left foot soreness.

Bryant put together a great late run to attempt a comeback, banking in a threepointer and following that seconds later with a steal and transition dunk that got the Lakers within 94-84 with two minutes left. But Derek Fisher’s three-point try on the next Los Angeles possession hit the front of the rim, Udonis Haslem controlled the rebound and James made a 15-foot runner to seal the outcome.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Duke’s home streak hits 45 The Associated Press

No. 4 Duke 91, Wake Forest 73 DURHAM, N.C. — Andre Dawkins scored all 21 of his points in the first half, and Duke beat Wake Forest on Thursday night for its 45th straight victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Dawkins hit seven threepointers to help the Blue Devils (16-2, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) build a huge lead that was never seriously threatened.

Ryan Kelly finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds for Duke, which shot 54 percent in claiming its fourth straight win in the series.

The Blue Devils moved within one victory of the school record for consecutive home victories and will match the mark of 46 if they beat Florida State on Saturday.

C.J. Harris had 20 points for Wake Forest (10-8, 1-3), which was coming off a 36-point home loss to North Carolina State and lost its third straight and fourth in five games.

The Cavaliers (15-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) were never seriously challenged by the Yellow Jackets, who put up their lowest-scoring game since a 53-38 loss to Wake Forest on Feb. 6, 1982, during Bobby Cremins’ first season as coach.

Virginia was coming off a 61-58 defeat at Cameron Indoor Stadium that snapped a 12-game winning streak.

Frazier finished with 12 points and nine assists for the Nittany Lions (10-10, 2-5 Big Ten), who ended a threegame losing streak.

She should have apologized immediately for putting your children at risk anniesmailbox@comcast.net and doing something without ed a social event together your permission. You should while their daughter stayed have forgiven her, with the with our kids and one of understanding that it would their friends, who was sleeping over. At some point, the sitter walked the kids to her parents’ house, took their car (she had just gotten her driver’s license) and drove them to a local ice cream store where her friends were working. She told the kids not to tell their parents.

Three days later, our 9-year-old accidentally spilled the beans. I called the sitter and fired her, and then I told her mother what had happened. Her only response was, “Well, it wasn’t illegal.”

We haven’t spoken since.

Two weeks ago, I texted the sitter and told her to call me so we could fix this mess already. I hoped she would apologize to my wife, even though she has not admitted she did anything wrong. In-

HBO’s ‘Roach’ rewards patient viewers

The new, unscripted, slice-of-life series “On Freddie Roach” (8:30 p.m., HBO) may appeal to fans of boxing and documentary films. They are not necessarily overlapping groups. Folks who like the fast, furious and brutal pace of boxing may find “Freddie” a tad languid. And “Freddie” may interest fans of a certain type of documentary — the long, slowto-build kind without narration or other techniques that answer viewers’ most basic questions, like, “Who is Freddie Roach?”

For those who stick around for the first half hour or so, we’re given teaspoons of information about the central character. He’s a boxing trainer and a former fighter raised by a loving mother and a ragefilled, pugilistic dad who thought nothing of blackening his wife’s eyes in front of his seven kids. Freddie’s hands shake and he walks haltingly because he suffers from Parkinson’s disease, an ailment thought to be linked to his life of fighting.

For all of the blows he has taken, Roach comes across as a thoughtful, even mellow man, someone who has found contentment as a teacher and mentor rather than as a punisher. He looks a lot more like Philip Seymour Hoffman than Sylvester Stallone.

Roach’s Wild Card Boxing Club may be located in Hollywood, but it’s hardly glamorous. Its denizens are a mix of young strivers and washed-up palookas with misshapen faces. It’s a family.

It’s a freak show. There is violence in the air. There is blood. But there is also love.

Created by Peter Berg, “Freddie” is clearly inspired by the work of filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, whose film “Boxing Gym” recently appeared on PBS. Wiseman has created exhaustive and illuminating documentaries about subjects ranging from mental institutions to the Idaho Legislature, from American high schools to the Paris ballet. At their most rewarding his films are completely immersive events, allowing viewers an incomparable appreciation of their subject. When they are not long (his “Belfast, Maine” runs four hours), they seem long.

At their most taxing, these films are not only like watching paint dry, they ask you to watch the painters apply the paint in the first place. After watching them carefully open the paint cans.

Tonight’s other highlights

A crisis puts everything in jeopardy on “A Gifted Man” (7 p.m., CBS).

“Shark Tank” (7 p.m., ABC) returns with new would-be entrepreneurs.

Danger ricochets on a bullet train on “Chuck” (8 p.m., NBC).

Hidden cameras capture strangers in ethical quandaries on a new season of “Primetime: What Would You Do?” (8 p.m., ABC).

Childhood abuse evokes inner demons on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

The parallel division faces new challenges on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox).

A broken rig sparks a waiting game on “Gold Rush” (8 p.m., Discovery).

A suspect in a robbery has a police connection on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

A punk couple frustrates a wedding planner on “Portlandia” (9 p.m., IFC).

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our early 50s. We have been married for one year and have not been intimate for six months. Until he transferred to a second-shift job, our bedroom was exciting. Now I’m not allowed to touch him. Anything more than a hug and he pushes me away. I miss how we once were. He says he hasn’t been feeling well but refuses to see a doctor or a counselor.

If he’s not willing to discuss this further, it’s hard to know what to do or think. I love him dearly, and he tells me he loves me, too, but with all these mixed signals, I’m not so sure. Any ideas? — Boston Beauty Dear Boston: It’s possible the job switch is exhausting him, or there could be something at work that is making him unwell. Or he could have met someone else on his new shift. There are other possibilities, but if he refuses to see a doctor or a counselor, it means he prefers to leave things as they are, and this is unacceptable. Please see a counselor on your own and figure out your next step.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS: SECTION 1. Creation of District; Authorization of Project. Based upon the Petition and the information provided at the Public Hearing, the Board, after due consideration of the factors set forth by the Act, determines it advisable and hereby creates the District, which shall be designated the Yankee Tank Community Improvement District. The Board makes the following additional findings and determinations: (a) Legal description of real property included within the District are set forth in Exhibit A and a map of the District is set forth in Exhibit B. (b)

The Project is authorized and the general nature of the Project is as follows:

Rehabilitation of Yankee Tank Dam (Wakarusa Watershed Joint District No. 35, site 24) to bring the dam structure into compliance with state and federal dam safety regulations. Yankee Tank dam will extend flood control benefits to the downstream properties for another 100 years. Additional incidental benefits include wildlife habitat enhancement, aquatic plants and fisheries improvements, local recreational restoration, and community esthetic value re-creation through a restored permanent pool, and improved water quality. (c)

The estimated cost of the Project of $1,988,600 is approved.

(d) The apportionment of the cost of the Project between the District, the County-at-large, and others is: Not to exceed $180,000 to be paid by the District and the remaining amounts to be paid from a consortium of other public and private entities such as, but not limited to, the City of Lawrence, Kansas, Douglas County, Kansas, Wakarusa Watershed Joint District No. 35, the Kansas Department of Transportation, Kansas Conservation Commission, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture. (e) The method of financing the District’s share of the Project is through issuance of Douglas County, Kansas full faith and credit bonds, to be paid by special assessments imposed against the property within the District pursuant to K.S.A. 126a30, but only if the Project is constructed. No community improvement district sales tax shall be imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-6a31. (f) The method of assessment of the District’s portion of the costs of the Project is by shares, with the total number of shares being 38 and each separate parcel of land being allocated the number of shares assigned to it as set forth in Exhibit A. In the event that any initial parcel of land is later subdivided, the unpaid assessment on that parcel shall be prorated to the new subparcels on the basis of land area. In the event that any unplatted parcel is platted, the assessment otherwise attributable to any land coming within streets or other public property shall be spread among the new platted lots on the basis of land area.

SECTION 2.

Financing; Reimbursement. The Act provides for the costs of the Project to be paid by the issuance of general obligation bonds of the County (the “Bonds”). Such Bonds may be used to reimburse Project expenditures made on or after the date which is 60 days before the date of this Resolution, pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.150-2.
