One week after being pelted with concerns from Lawrence residents, the city’s Solid Waste Task Force on Thursday said it heard them loud and clear.

Then the group spent most of its meeting Thursday evening developing a document explaining why the city should move ahead with major changes to its trash and recycling systems anyway.

Here’s a look at how the task force responded to what it said were several of the major concerns brought up at last week’s forum:

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” While task force members stopped short of saying the city’s current trash system is broken, they said it could be improved quite a bit. Some task force members mentioned financial problems with the service. For example, as late as 2008 the city’s auditor found the service was operating at an annual loss of about $500,000. The department’s finances have improved since then, but there have been questions about whether the current system has relied too heavily on deferring equipment purchases and reduced staffing.

FOURTH-GRADERS FROM PINCKNEY SCHOOL pet a dairy cow Thursday at the Slice of Ag event at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

‘Slice of Ag’ event helps students understand where food originates

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

From petting a calf to climbing into the cab of an $82,000 John Deere tractor, fourth-graders got a taste of farm life Thursday morning at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

As part of “Slice of Ag,” more than 800 students from 32 classrooms will learn over two days about various aspects of agriculture, including tractors, dairy and beef cows, growing grain in Kansas, fruits, vegetables and the importance of washing hands.

All those lessons are intended, among other things, to give students a greater appreciation for the origin of the ingredients on the

pizza they enjoy at the end of the program.

“Most of the kids today don’t have grandparents or relatives on the farm, so they don’t get the chance to visit farms. But we bring the farm to them. So they get to see a cow, see a pig, talk about an acre of corn or soybean or wheat,” Douglas County Extension Director Bill Wood said.

Among the animals that students were petting was Bolt, a bottle-fed calf that belongs to Justin Leonard’s family. Leonard and two other Future Farmers of America and 4-H students, Nicki Snodgrass and Cheyenne Patton, had students guess how much the calf weighs (880 pounds) and how much it eats every day (16 pounds).

“Cows do a lot more than just make milk,” Broken Arrow student Camer-

on Bohmann said was one of the facts he learned on Thursday. He was among those who got to pet a cow, whose hair he said was more like a dog’s than a cat’s.

Classmate Mia Robinson’s favorite part of the trip was also the cows. She was impressed with what they could do.

“You can use the milk to make butter or other things like cheese,” she said.

The event also benefits high school students, who presented much of the agricultural material.

“They really like teaching and working with elementary school students and being advocates for ag,” Free State FFA adviser Laura Priest said of her students.

And the elementary students learn something.

“Teachers tell us our

kids listen to the students more than they do the adults,” Wood said.

Another group of Free State FFA students were quizzing fourth-graders about fruits and vegetables. Broccoli is part of the cabbage family, Brazil grows the most oranges, and tomatoes are both a fruit and vegetable, they told students from Prairie Park School.

Wood hopes those facts and others like them will allow students to leave with a better sense of where food comes from.

“So they know that someone is actually helping raise it, produce it, rather than just coming out of a box in a grocery store,” Wood said.

12TH AND HASKELL

City again orders recycling center to clean up property Owner says he’s working with neighbors on noise, odor and other complaints

center that neighbors contend is operating as an illegal salvage yard could continue into March or April, City Hall leaders said this week.

Officials with the city’s planning office have delivered a new letter of violation that orders the 12th and Haskell Recycling Center to eliminate by Monday much of its outdoor storage of old cars, scrap metal and other materials.

Lawrence attorney Brad

— Andrea Repinsky, who lives near the 12th and Haskell Recycling Center Finkeldei said his client intends to appeal the violation notice to the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals, which likely won’t be prepared to hear the issue until March or April. City code requires that enforcement action be suspended pending the outcome of the appeal.

The owner of the 12th and

Haskell Recycling Center, though, said he’ll continue to try to work with neighbors to resolve their concerns related to noise, odor and the general appearance of the property.

“We need to get the neighbors over here so they can really see our property,” said Bo Killough, who has oper-

ated the center since 2003. “I think there is some misconception about what we’re doing.”

Killough, for example, said neighbors complained of noise and odor problems between Christmas and New Year’s, but he said his business was not operational during that time. Instead, he thinks some of the noise and odor issues bothering neighbors are coming from the city’s Sanitation Division, which parks all of its trash trucks just north of his business.

ed by the school district that is accessible to the parents of the students enrolled in the district,” he said.

But placing teacher evaluations on a website will only hinder efforts by teachers to improve and the work of administrators who are trying to make personnel decisions, said Mark Desetti, a lobbyist with the Kansas National Education Association.

He added that teachers already feel under attack because of pay issues, cuts in school funding, proposed changes to their pensions and increased health insurance costs.

“This is strictly punitive and harmful,” Desetti said of Brownback’s plan.

The evaluation proposal is included in Brownback’s legislation to overhaul the school finance system.

Brownback wants to remove state limits on local funding of schools and eliminate the current system of using “weights” that divvies up extra funding for special needs of students.

Schodorf said she would probably divide Brownback’s bill into four measures. She said the best way to get things passed is to keep legislation as simple as possible.

Brownback’s education bill, she said, “Probably sets the record for moving parts.”

“I think somebody needs to see how much noise the city is producing,” Killough said.

“Before everybody blames everything on me, people need to take a closer look.”

Killough said he plans to host a meeting with neighbors in the next three to four weeks.

Neighbors, though, said they have documentation — video and audio recordings — that demonstrate how disruptive the business is to the neighborhood.

“It is pretty awful,” said Andrea Repinsky, who lives near the site. “It really takes away my ability to enjoy a peaceful home. It is just a constant stream of noise coming from the salvage yard.”

Repinsky said several neighbors don’t believe the city’s latest violation notice goes far enough in solving the problems. The notice states the business only will be allowed to have “limited palletized or containerized exterior storage.” But the notice doesn’t We need spell out how much to get the outside neighbors storage over here so would be they can re- allowed.

But McCullough said the amount will have to be significantly less than a previously submitted site plan that showed the back half of the property being cleared of exterior storage but allowing metal, vehicle and other scrap storage on the front half of the property.

Ultimately, McCullough said, the business will need to operate more in line with a description that was given to the department in 2003, when Killough was confirming that his new business would be legal. That description characterized the business as “purchasing returned or rejected housewares and outdoor appliances and furniture from distributors, and salvaging such items to reassemble and sell.”

That is different than what the city is seeing now, McCullough said.

“The current operations have a salvage-yard element to it,” he said.

The business is operating on property that currently is zoned for residential uses.

But the business is allowed to operate, Killough contends, because the property has a long history as legal “nonconforming use” from its days as a yard for an auto towing company. But neighbors contend that the property sat vacant long enough that it has lost its ability to operate with such industrial uses.

The Board of Zoning Appeals will consider many of those arguments when it hears the case. After the Board of Zoning Appeals, the case can be appealed to Douglas County District Court.

store a trash cart in your garage as well. In other words, they take up about the same amount of space. If you store your trash can outside currently, you’ll probably store your cart outside too. Several task force members said that would be an improvement.

“There are a lot of garbage cans sitting outside today,” said Joe Harkins, a member of the task force. “These carts probably will be better looking than many of the pieces of junk that are out there now.”

The task force has said the carts are essential to improving the efficiency and safety of the system. The carts will allow the city to use more trucks with hydraulic lifts, eliminating the need for workers to physically lift trash bags or cans.

Cost: Task force members said they understand

residents are nervous about how much more the service may cost. The task force is confident the new mandated carts won’t result in an increased monthly trash rate. That’s because the city is expecting workers’ compensation claims to fall significantly. But adding a new citywide, curbside recycling program will come with a cost.

The task force doesn’t know how much yet. Instead, it is recommending the City Commission receive bids on the service and also calculate how much it would cost city crews to run the system.

Cromwell said he’s confident if the costs are “too high,” commissioners won’t approve the new system.

The task force also said it had heard concerns about forcing people to pay for

BRIEFLY Jenkins wants Manhattan in 2nd District TOPEKA — Republican Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins wants Kansas legislators to keep the Manhattan area in her U.S. House district when they redraw political boundaries.

Jenkins told The Associated Press on Thursday she believes the lines of her district need only minimal changes. She represents the 2nd Congressional District in eastern Kansas, which currently includes Manhattan.

State lawmakers must redraw the districts to account for population changes over the past decade. The 2nd District must pick up only 3,200 residents to reach the ideal population of about 713,000.

Kansas requests waiver of federal Medicaid rules

Ag secretary blasts KBA board of directors

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — A key member of Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration said Thursday that the Kansas Bioscience Authority’s board of directors shared some of the blame for problems identified in a forensic audit of the agency, including questions about the spending decisions of its former CEO. Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman, a leading figure in the administration on audits, told legislators that issues about spending and perceived conflicts of inter-

est resulted from a lax board.

“If the board had done its job we wouldn’t be here today,” said Thornton Rodman, a Brownback appointee who spent 37 years working in management for Cargill Inc. The audit by BKD Forensic and Valuation Services released Monday found issues with the KBA’s operation, including the activities of its former president and

CEO Tom Thornton. Rodman said the KBA’s spending on overhead and what he called inflated figures on job creation were troubling.

He said figures in the audit show that the KBA invested $200,000 per job created before Thornton became CEO, but jumped to $700,000 per job during his tenure. There also questions raised about the $18 million investment in an office building in Olathe to house the KBA, which is also used by tenant companies in what is frequently called an incubator facility as the companies grow.

The chairman of the au-

thority’s board, Dan Watkins, who hasn’t been asked yet by legislators to speak on the record about the audit, took exception with Rodman’s comments.

“He’s impugning the integrity and ethics of a good group of people, and it’s apparent that he and I read different audit reports,” Watkins said. “I think it’s obvious that the governor’s pursuing a scorched, you know, takeno-prisoners approach until he has control of the operations and the investments of the KBA.” Watkins is a Lawrence Democrat who was appoint-

TOPEKA — Kansas is asking the federal government to waive some rules so the state can overhaul its Medicaid program.

Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration submitted a request Thursday to a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Medicaid is a joint federal-state program that covers health care for poor families, the disabled and some elderly citizens.

Brownback plans to turn management of the state’s $2.9 billion program to three private insurance companies, having contractors handle services for the elderly and disabled for the first time.

But the state needs the federal agency to waive some rules to cover all participants through contractors and build financial incentives into those contracts.

The new contracts would be awarded this year and start Jan. 1, 2013.

New casino plans test run Monday for charity KANSAS CITY, KAN. — The new Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway will hold a pre-opening test of its operations next week for state regulators.

The state-owned casino is scheduled to open Feb. 3. It overlooks a turn at the NASCAR track in Kansas City, Kan. Guests at Monday’s nine-hour demonstration will be invited to gamble, with the revenues going to two charities. The runthrough is required by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission to ensure that the casino has adequate internal financial controls and that it’s ready for the customers.

Hollywood Casino plans to donate proceeds from the demonstration to Sunflower House, which works to protect children from physical and sexual abuse, and to a foundation that supports public schools in Kansas City, Kan.

ed to the board by Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat. His term expires in March 2015.

Sherriene Jones-Sontag, the governor’s spokeswoman, responded to Watkins’ statement, suggesting the issue with the board was financial, not political.

“It’s troubling to see that the KBA spent more than $700,000 per job it ‘created’ while Tom Thornton was its CEO,” she said. “Clearly the audit shows that those who said they had no concerns about Tom Thornton were

mocracy. That’s being really entertained and with a really good educational purpose.”

Bauerly is a Democrat appointed by President George W. Bush in 2008 to the regulatory commission that oversees campaign finance in federal elections.

No more than three members on the six-person commission can be from the same political party.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital leaders thanked individuals and businesses Thursday evening for their support by giving time and money during 2011.

“We had an excellent year in so many ways,” LMH President and CEO Gene Meyer said. “It was another year of construction, renovation and activity.”

He spoke to about 200 people during the annual LMH Endowment Association meeting at Maceli’s, 1031 N.H. in downtown Lawrence.

Meyer said LMH opened the Eudora Medical Plaza in April and recently finished renovating the hospital’s kitchen and dining area, but for him, the highlight in 2011 was celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the Oncology Center in September.

“It was one of the most heartwarming and meaningful things that we could have ever done, and the neat part is that the Endowment Association is woven through every segment of the success that we’ve had with the oncology unit,” he said.

Meyer said the community has supported the Oncology Center through fundraisers big

Firm hired to conduct search for new chamber leader

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has hired a consulting firm to conduct what is expected to be at least a four-month search for a new president and CEO. But chamber leaders do have an idea of what they’re looking for: a good Midwesterner who can help the community understand why it needs to raise more money for economic development efforts.

Cindy Yulich, chairwoman of the chamber’s search committee, said other communities have dedicated sales taxes or endowment-like fundraising efforts that support economic development projects. More frequently, Lawrence finds itself competing against those communities to land projects.

“We’re not going to be as successful as we could be until we have a sustained source of income to support economic development,” Yulich said. “That is part of the infrastructure we need.

We have to find somebody who can communicate the need to have that sustained funding source.”

The chamber’s board of directors on Thursday agreed to contract with Waverly Partners, a search firm

“

We’re going to look for the best candidate, and maybe that person will have Douglas County DNA.” — Cindy Yulich, chairwoman of the Chamber of Commerce’s search committee that specializes in executive searches. Lawrence resident Debbie Galbraith, a Waverly consultant, will lead the firm’s search.

Yulich said the search firm will conduct interviews with chamber members, city and county officials and other stakeholders to get a better idea of the qualities the organization is seeking in a new leader. But Yulich said the chamber’s board has asked the firm to begin its search by focusing on candidates from Kansas or an adjacent state.

The group is more split on whether candidates should have experience in leading a chamber of commerce.

When former president and CEO Tom Kern announced his resignation in July — to take a similar job in Steamboat Springs, Colo. — chamber board members said they would want to consider placing more emphasis on candi-

dates who had a strong connection to Lawrence rather than significant chamber experience.

On Thursday, Yulich said the chamber board is open to a variety of candidates.

“We’re going to look for the best candidate, and maybe that person will have Douglas County DNA,” Yulich said. “Unfortunately the average tenure of a chamber CEO nationwide is threeand-a-half to five years. So having somebody with Douglas County experience could have a lot of upsides, but we don’t want to eliminate any possibilities.”

The chamber also has to fill its position of senior vice president of economic development after Beth Johnson announced she will leave the Lawrence chamber to take a similar position in Overland Park.

Johnson will leave the chamber in early February, and Yulich said the chamber board is still formulating its plan for filling that position on an interim basis. But Yulich said it is likely that the chamber will not seek to select Johnson’s successor until a new CEO has been hired.

wrong. It is in every Kansan’s interest in seeing that taxpayer money is well-spent and Kansas laws are upheld.”

Brownback has two political associates on the board already, Commerce Secretary Pat George and Kenny Wilk, a member of the Board of Regents and member of the governor’s transition team.

Wilk, a non-voting member of the KBA board, is a former Republican state House member who helped write the Kansas Economic Growth Act with Nick Jordan, a former Republican state senator and Brownback’s secretary of revenue.

The governor will have two more appointments this spring with the expirations of terms by former Gov. John Carlin and Sandra Lawrence.

Auditors were asked to probe how the authority was making its investments, potential conflicts of interest, personnel decisions and how job creation figures were determined. The KBA’s purpose is to distribute millions in state tax dollars to emerging bioscience companies.

The audit concluded that the KBA had policies in place

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD to safeguard its investments, but did suggest that there may have been the appearance of conflict of interest over two financial commitments by the board to organizations involving two members.

Other findings found fault with Thornton’s management style, his destruction of documents on his stateowned laptop and misuse of some $4,700 in KBA funds, which he later repaid. Rodman said the audit suggests that “intellectual property” of the KBA was taken by Thornton to his new job with the Cleveland Clinic Legislators from three committees spent three days reviewing the audit and asking questions. Senate Commerce Committee Chairwoman Susan Wagle, whose committee’s hearings in 2011 led to the audit, said more hearings would be held in the coming weeks.

“This is to be continued,” said the Wichita Republican.

Legislators also have been critical of expenses related to the KBA’s involvement with the state’s winning bid for the National Bio and AgroDefense Facility. The Department of Homeland Security awarded the state the project to be built in Manhattan to conduct research on deadly plant and animal pathogens.

Citizens United and another recent decision resulted in creation of super PACs allowing corporations, unions and individuals to contribute unlimited amounts to political causes, allowing them to have a hand in campaigns, particularly political advertising.

“What it’s going to do is require candidates to raise even more money,” she told

the law students.

During the 2008 presidential election, outside groups spent $43 million.

However, during the 2010 congressional mid-term elections with the existence of super PACs, she said, that jumped to $204 million. The FEC has already seen significant spending as part of the Republican presidential primaries, including in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and she worried about disclosure during a frenzied primary season.

“At this point in time because of the quick sequence

of the primaries, you’re not going to be able to see who has given money to some of the PACs until later in the month,” Bauerly said.

As regulators and campaigns grapple with the recent changes, Bauerly said FEC commissioners are working to talk to outside groups across the country to get feedback.

“It can’t just be,” she said, “what people sitting in Washington would think.”

BRIEFLY Man pleads no contest in 2008 robbery A 21-year-old Kansas City, Kan., man Thursday pleaded no contest in connection with a 2008 west Lawrence robbery.

John T. Words entered the pleas to robbery and aggravated assault as prosecutors accuse him of aiding and abetting the crime. He had been ordered to face a trial on charges of aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, aggravated assault and misdemeanor theft after his cousin, Loren Thibodo, testified in December that Words and others were involved in COURTS the Dec. 3, 2008, robbery of an alleged drug dealer in the 3400 block of Augusta Drive.

Assistant District Attorney Eve Kemple said Words had agreed to give an interview to police about one suspect whom investigators have not been able to identify. She said Words also has agreed to testify against other co-defendants in the case. Christopher J. Jackson, 22, still faces the original charges that Words had faced.

Kemple said attorneys expect Words to face a four-year prison sentence, but based on his past criminal history he might fall within a “border box” under state guidelines where a judge could decide between prison or probation.

Defense attorney Craig Stancliffe said he planned to ask for a probation sentence, while Kemple said prosecutors agreed to stand silent on that request.

District Judge Kay Huff is scheduled to sentence Words in April.

Trial postponed in cat shooting case Lawrence Municipal Court Judge Scott Miller Thursday postponed a trial for a Lawrence man who is accused of shooting a stray cat last year.

On Thursday, a defense attorney said the city had not yet provided him a DVD that contained evidence, including photos.

City prosecutor Jerry Little also said prosecutors were now alleging defendant Jimmy R. Wilkins, 73, shot the cat on May 29 and not May 30.

Lawrence police had said animal control officers rescued the 2-year-old cat, later named Bullet at the Lawrence Humane Society, from a trap at a mobile home park in the 100 block of Michigan Street after the cat was shot twice. And officers have said a witness alleged he heard a neighbor shoot what sounded like a gun earlier in the day before he observed the cat in the trap.

Defense attorney Hatem Chahine has said Wilkins was innocent and has an alibi because he was visiting his sister that Memorial Day weekend and so he was not in the area.

The trial was scheduled to begin Thursday morning. Little said prosecutors were not aware the DVD existed until Jan. 11, and Chahine was expected to be able to review it later Thursday.

Wilkins faces charges of animal cruelty and discharging a firearm in the city limits.

The trial is now scheduled for March 1. The cat recovered from its injuries and was later adopted.

Ex-employee settles discrimination lawsuit A former associate vice provost for information services has reached a settlement with Kansas University in his discrimination lawsuit filed in 2010, according to federal court records.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil said in an order that attorneys for KU and Dilawar Grewal had confirmed they have settled the claims in Grewal’s suit. Her order does not specify any terms of the settlement, but it says the parties have until Feb. 27 to file a stipulation in the case.

Grewal in the suit alleged he was harassed because of his religion and race and ultimately

fired in 2009 for making complaints. Grewal, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in India and a member of the Sikh religion, said he was the subject of “open racial and religious slurs in the workplace,” including an allegation he was openly referred to as “looking like a terrorist.”

When the suit was filed, KU officials said his claims were baseless. The parties had been participating in mediation.

KU hired Grewal in 2009 as a director of research information technology services, and he was promoted in August 2009 to associate vice provost for information services. Grewal is now an associate provost at Wagner University in New York.

An attorney for Grewal could not be reached for comment Thursday. KU spokeswoman Jill Jess said Thursday the court’s memo was the only thing public in the case at this point.

‘Big Event’ looking to help community Kansas University students are again looking for members of the community who could use some help cleaning up their yard or need some windows washed.

A day of community service called “The Big Event” is back for a second year. KU students are willing to help members of the community with all manner of odd jobs and household chores as a way of saying “thank you,” said Emily Lamb, a Lawrence senior and outreach coordinator for The Big Event.

Any member of the community or nonprofit organization can go online to thebigeventku.com and request to have a job done, Lamb said. Students will be reaching out to community members directly on Saturday, Lamb said.

Last year, 500 students helped at 100 different sites.

Lamb said event organizers are hoping to triple those figures this year.

Forms requesting jobs are due Feb. 24. Students interested in volunteering should register by March 2. The event is scheduled for March 31.

and small. He mentioned former Kansas University basketball standout Mario Chalmers, who donated $25,000 to open a specialty shop for cancer patients. He also talked about patient Jamie Pursley, whose dying wish was to renovate the infusion rooms. After she died in March, her friends helped raise $130,000 to make her wish come true.

“Because of the generosity of our community and those who gave, we have a bright future,” he said.

In 2011, the Endowment Association transferred $2.2 million to the hospital, and that helped pay for equipment, services, medical education and research.

Here are some other ways the community supported LMH last year:

360 — golfers participated in the H.P. “Penny” Jones Golf Tournament on Sept. 9, raising $188,871.

750 — people attended the Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer dance, raising $71,283.

780 — LMH employees gave $60,000 through the Employee Giving Campaign.

222 — people participated in a “Small Town Big Cause” 5K run/walk last summer, raising $14,800. The event was held in Baldwin City, Tonganoxie and Eudora.

LMHEA also received its largest gift in history — $1.2 million — from a charitable remainder trust established by the late Karl and Una Kreider.

Kathy Clausing-Willis, LMH vice president and chief development officer, looked across the room and said, “Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. LMH wouldn’t be the outstanding hospital it is today without your support.”

Two individuals, two businesses and one LMH employee were honored with the coveted Elizabeth Watkins Community Caring Award.

Local students dominate art contest Lawrence students had a near sweep in a statewide art competition that is connected with Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas.

Seven students from Lawrence high schools won top awards in the competition, which drew 354 entries.

For two weeks, their work will be displayed in Topeka at the Memorial Building, 10th and Jackson streets.

The Lawrence students who won include:

Caroline King, Free State High School, black-and-white photography

Chandler McElhaney, Lawrence High School, color photography

Ian Patterson, Free State, digital imagery

Candice Meiners, Free State, drawing

Lauren Nus, Free State, mixed media

Katherine Berger, Free State, painting

Jim Kittel, Lawrence High School, pastel The one honor that did not go to a Lawrence student was Best of Show. That award was given to Megan Stressman, a senior at Shawnee Heights High School in Topeka. But Megan has taken classes at the Lawrence Arts Center.

Lawrence resident Grant Glenn organizes the competition in honor of his mother,

Dixie Glenn, who taught art at Kansas University’s art education department.

He swears the competition didn’t have a Lawrence bias because names and schools were covered during the judging.

The awards officially will be announced at the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas’ annual banquet today.

Police investigating robbery at Cirilla’s Lawrence police are investigating a report of an armed robbery at Cirilla’s Thursday afternoon.

When they arrived, a female employee said a man with a handgun and a woman who did not display a weapon entered the store.

“The man demanded cash.

The woman grabbed merchandise,” Murphree said. “Both fled the scene in a passenger car.”

Police have not released how much cash was taken.

The employee was not injured, and no other customers were in the store at the time.

The store is at the corner of 23rd Street and Naismith Drive.

Murphree said officers were investigating the case and not releasing further information Thursday afternoon.

Millions now manage aging parents’ care from afar

By Matt Sedensky Associated Press

WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. — Kristy Bryner worries her 80-year-old mom might slip and fall when she picks up the newspaper, or that she’ll get in an accident when she drives to the grocery store.

What if she has a medical emergency and no one’s there to help? What if, like her father, her mother slips into a fog of dementia?

Those questions would be hard enough if Bryner’s aging parent lived across town in Portland, Ore., but she is in Kent, Ohio. The stress of caregiving seems magnified by each of the more than 2,000 miles that separate them.

“I feel like I’m being split in half between coasts,” said Bryner, 54. “I wish I knew what to do, but I don’t.”

As lifespans lengthen and the number of seniors rapidly grows, more Americans find themselves in Bryner’s precarious position, struggling to care for an ailing loved one from hundreds or thousands of miles away.

The National Institute on Aging estimates around 7 million Americans are long-distance caregivers. Aside from economic factors that often drive people far from their hometowns, shifting demographics in the country could exacerbate the issue: Over the next four decades, the share of people 65 and older is expect-

ed to rapidly expand while the number of people under 20 will roughly hold steady. That means there will be a far smaller share of people between 20 and 64, the age group that most often is faced with caregiving.

“You just want to be in two places at once,” said Kay Branch, who lives in Anchorage, Alaska, but helps coordinate care for her parents in Lakeland, Fla., about 3,800 miles away.

There are no easy answers.

Bryner first became a longdistance caregiver when, more than a decade ago, her father began suffering from dementia, which consumed him until he died in 2010. She used to be able to count on help from her brother, who lived close to their parents, but he died of cancer a few years back. Her mother doesn’t want to leave the house she’s lived in for so long.

So Bryner talks daily with her mother via Skype, a video telephone service. She’s lucky to have a job that’s flexible enough that she’s able to visit for a couple of weeks every few months.

But she fears what may happen when her mother is not as healthy as she is now.

“Someone needs to check on her, someone needs to look out for her,” she said.

“And the only someone is me, and I don’t live there.”

Many long-distance caregivers say they insist on daily phone calls or video chats to hear or see how their loved

one is doing. Oftentimes, they find another relative or a paid caregiver they can trust who is closer and able to help with some tasks.

Yet there always is the unexpected: Medical emergencies, problems with insurance coverage, urgent financial issues. Problems become far tougher to resolve when you need to hop on a plane or make a daylong drive.

“There are lots of things that you have to do that become these real exercises in futility,” said Ed Rose, 49, who lives in Boston but, like his sister, travels frequently to Chicago to help care for his 106-year-old grandmother, Blanche Seelmann.

Rose has rushed to his grandmother’s side for hospitalizations, and made unexpected trips to solve bureaucratic issues like retrieving a document from a safe-deposit box in order to open a bank account.

But he said he has also managed to get most of the logistics down to a routine.

He uses Skype to speak with his grandmother every day and tries to be there whenever she has a doctor’s appointment. Aides handle many daily tasks and have access to a credit card for household expenses. They send him receipts so he can monitor spending. He has an apartment near his grandmother to make sure he’s comfortable on his frequent visits.

Romney the aggressor in last Fla. debate before primary

By David Espo Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. — An aggressive Mitt Romney repeatedly challenged Republican rival Newt Gingrich in a fast-paced campaign debate Thursday night just before a Florida primary that could be pivotal in the GOP presidential race. He rebuffed criticism of his own stance on immigration and ridiculed the former House speaker’s call to build costly projects in key primary states and to colonize the moon.

Days before the primary election in Florida, a state with a large number of immigrants, Romney vehemently denied Gingrich’s accusation that he is more anti-immigrant than any other candidate. And, as charges flew back and forth, Gingrich in return rebutted any suggestion that he wasn’t the man to rein in federal spending.

“You don’t just have to be cheap everywhere. You can actually have priorities to get things done,” Gingrich declared, saying that as speaker of the House he had helped balance the budget while doubling spending on the National Institutes of health.

The debate was the 19th since the race for the Republican nomination began last year, and the second in four days in the run-up to next Tuesday’s Florida primary.

Opinion polls make the race a close one — slight advantage Romney — with two other contenders, former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Texas Rep. Ron Paul far behind.

Gingrich’s upset victory in the South Carolina primary last week upended the race for the nomination to oppose Democratic President Barack Obama in the fall, and Romney in particular can illafford a defeat on Tuesday.

While the clashes between Gingrich and Romney dominated the debate, Santorum drew applause from the audience when he called on the two front-runners to stop attacking one another and “focus on the issues.”

“Can we set aside that

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney participate in the Republican presidential candidates debate Thursday in Jacksonville, Fla. Newt was a member of Congress ... and that Mitt Romney is a wealthy guy?” he said in a tone of exasperation.

There were some moments of levity, including when Paul, 76, was asked whether he would be willing to release his medical records. He said he was, then challenged the other three men on the debate stage to a 25-mile bike race.

He got no takers.

In the days since Romney’s loss in South Carolina, he has tried to seize the initiative, playing the aggressor in the Tampa debate and assailing Gingrich in campaign speeches and a TV commercial.

An outside group formed to support Romney has spent more than his own campaign’s millions on ads, some of them designed to stop Gingrich’s campaign momentum before it is too late to deny him the nomination.

With polls suggesting his South Carolina surge is stalling, Gingrich unleashed a particularly strong attack earlier in the day, much as he lashed out in Iowa when he rose in the polls, only to be knocked back by an onslaught of ads he was unable to counter effectively.

Thursday night’s first clash occurred moments after the debate opened, when Gingrich responded to a question by saying Romney was the most anti-immigrant of all four contenders on stage.

“That’s simply inexcusable,” the former Massachusetts governor responded.

“Mr. Speaker, I’m not antiimmigrant, my father was born in Mexico,” Romney declared. “I’m not anti-immigrant.”

At the same time, Romney noted that Gingrich’s campaign had been pressured to stop running a radio ad that called Romney anti-immigrant after Florida Sen. Marco Rubio called on Gingrich to do so.

He called on Gingrich to apologize for the commercial, but got no commitment.

About an hour later, Romney pounced when the topic turned to Gingrich’s proposal for an permanent American colony on the moon — an issue of particular interest to engineers and others who live on Florida’s famed Space Coast.

A career businessman before he became a politician, Romney said: “If I had a business executive come to me and say I want to spend a few hundred billion dollars to put a colony on the moon, I’d say, ‘You’re fired.’”

The audience erupted in cheers.

Gingrich says NASA should offer prize incentives to businesses that develop commercial flight to the moon and beyond. He holds up that idea as an example of bold thinking.

Paul drew laughs when he said the people he’d send to the moon are politicians.

Drink up.

You’re gonna need it.

Pentagon: Army, Marines to shrink as budget slows

By Robert Burns Associated Press

GILLIE WADDINGTON of Enfield, N.Y., raises a fist during rally against hydraulic fracturing of natural gas wells Monday at the Legislative Office Building in Albany, N.Y.

No energy industry backing for the word ‘fracking’

By Jonathan Fahey Associated Press

NEW YORK — A different kind of F-word is stirring a linguistic and political debate as controversial as what it defines.

The word is “fracking” — as in hydraulic fracturing, a technique long used by the oil and gas industry to free oil and gas from rock.

It’s not in the dictionary, the industry hates it, and President Barack Obama didn’t use it in his State of the Union speech — even as he praised federal subsidies for it.

The word sounds nasty, and environmental advocates have been able to use it to generate opposition — and revulsion — to what they say is a nasty process that threatens water supplies.

“It obviously calls to mind other less socially polite terms, and folks have been able to take advantage of that,” said Kate Sinding, a senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council who works on drilling issues.

One of the chants at an anti-drilling rally in Albany earlier this month was “No fracking way!”

Industry executives argue that the word is deliberately misspelled by environmental activists and that it has become a slur that should not be used by media outlets that strive for objectivity.

“It’s a co-opted word and a co-opted spelling used to make it look as offensive as people can try to make it look,” said Michael Kehs, vice president for Strategic Affairs at Chesapeake Energy, the nation’s second-largest natural gas producer.

To the surviving humans of the sci-fi TV series “Battlestar Galactica,” it has nothing to do with oil and gas. It is used as a substitute for the very down-to-Earth curse word.

Michael Weiss, a professor of linguistics at Cornell University, says the word originated as simple industry jargon, but has taken on a negative meaning over time — much like the word “silly” once meant “holy.”

But “frack” also happens to sound like “smack” and “whack,” with more violent connotations.

“When you hear the word ‘fracking,’ what lights up your brain is the profanity,” says Deborah Mitchell, who teaches marketing at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Business. “Negative things come to mind.”

Obama did not use the word in his State of the Union address Tuesday night, when he said his administration will help ensure natural gas will be developed safely, suggesting it would support 600,000 jobs by the end of the decade.

In hydraulic fracturing, millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped into wells to break up underground rock formations and create escape routes for the oil and gas. In recent years, the industry has learned to combine the practice with the ability to drill horizontally into beds of shale, layers of fine-grained rock that in some cases have trapped ancient organic matter that has cooked into oil and gas.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon outlined a plan Thursday for slowing the growth of military spending, including cutting the size of the Army and Marine Corps, retiring older planes and trimming war costs. It drew quick criticism from Republicans, signaling the difficulty of scaling back defense budgets in an election year.

The changes Defense Secretary Leon Panetta described at a news conference are numerous but hardly dramatic. They aim to save money by delaying some bigticket weapons like a nextgeneration nuclear-armed submarine, but the basic shape and structure of the military remains the same.

The Army would shrink from a peak of 570,000 to 490,000 within five years, and the Marines would drop by 20,000, to 182,000. Those are considerable declines, but both services will still be slightly larger than on 9/11, before they began a decade of war. Both will keep their footholds abroad, although the Army will decrease its presence in Europe and the Marines plan to increase theirs in Asia.

Panetta said the administration will ask Congress for $525 billion to run the Pentagon in 2013 — $6 billion less than the current budget. War costs, which are not considered part of the base budget, would decline from $115 billion to $88 billion, reflecting the completion of the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

The base budget would then increase in each year of

“

This budget is a first step — it’s a down payment — as we transition from an emphasis on today’s wars to preparing for future challenges.”

— Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff the Pentagon’s five-year plan, reaching $567 billion in 2017.

A year ago the Pentagon had projected 2017 spending to reach $622 billion. The Pentagon counts those reductions in projected future spending as “defense savings.”

When Obama took office in January 2009 the Pentagon’s base budget was $513 billion.

In 2001 it was $297 billion.

Under a budget deficitcutting deal Congress made last summer, the Pentagon is committed to reducing projected spending by $487 billion over the next 10 years.

The plan Panetta presented Thursday covers the first five years of that span and would cut a cumulative total of $259 billion in planned spending.

“We believe this is a balanced and complete package,” Panetta said.

In a bid to pre-empt election-year Republican criticism, Panetta said the plan begins to shift the Pentagon’s focus from the long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to future challenges in Asia, the Mideast and in cyberspace. More special operations forces like the Navy SEALs who killed Osama bin Laden will be available around the world, he said, and the Pentagon will stress improvements in cyberdefenses.

Republicans were quick

to pounce on the proposed Army and Marine Corps reductions.

“These cuts reflect President Obama’s vision of an America that is weakened, not strengthened, by our men and women in uniform,” said Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

McKeon voted for the bill last August that established the requirement for $487 billion in defense savings over five years.

“Taking us back to a pre9/11 military force structure places our country in grave danger,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee that will hold hearings on the Pentagon budget plan.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said the Panetta plan “ignores the lessons of history.”

He said it provides for a military that is “too small to respond effectively to events that may unfold over the next few years.”

The military’s top general, however, defended the administration’s approach.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he is convinced that the risks raised by cutting the size of the military are manageable. He said failing to make these changes would have meant even bigger risks.

“This budget is a first step — it’s a down payment — as we transition from an emphasis on today’s wars to preparing for future challenges,” he said, adding, “This budget does not lead to a military in decline.”

After SEAL raid, pirates move hostage

By Abdi Guled Associated Press

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA — Pirates moved an American hostage at least three times in 24 hours and threatened Thursday to kill him after U.S. Navy SEALs rescued an American and a Dane in a bold, dark-ofnight raid that raises questions about whether other Western captives are now in greater danger.

“If they try again, we will all die together,” warned Hassan Abdi, a Somali pirate connected to the gang holding the American, who was kidnapped Saturday in northern Somalia.

“It’s difficult to hold U.S. hostages, because it’s a game of chance: die or get huge money. But we shall stick with our plans and will never release him until we get a ransom,” Abdi said.

U.S. Navy SEALs parachuted into Somalia early Wednesday and hiked to where captors were holding 32-year-old American Jessica Buchanan and Poul Hagen Thisted, a 60-year-old Dane. A shootout ensued and nine captors were killed. Buchanan, Thisted and the U.S. troops were all unharmed.

The two aid workers had been kidnapped by gunmen in October while working on demining projects for the Danish Refugee Council.

Buchanan and Thisted were flown to the U.S. Naval Air Base at Sigonella on the Italian island of Sicily to

undergo medical screenings and other evaluations before heading home, a U.S. defense official said. Buchanan’s family was meeting her at the base, which is the hub of U.S. Navy air operations in the Mediterranean.

The U.S. government said the raid was prompted by Buchanan’s deteriorating health. An ailing Frenchwoman kidnapped by Somali gunmen died in captivity last year after not having access to her medication.

In the aftermath of Wednesday’s rescue, the gang holding the American kidnapped in the northern town of Galkayo have moved him three times, Abdi said.

“Holding hostages in one place is unlikely now because we are the next target,” he told The Associated Press by telephone.

He also expressed concern that the U.S. has pirate informants.

“It wasn’t just a hit-and-run operation, but long planned with the help of insiders among us,” Abdi said, noting that the Americans struck at a time when the pirates were least on their guard.

U.S. State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland said U.S. officials have been in contact with the family of the latest American kidnapping victim.

“We are also working with our contacts in Kenya and in Somalia to try to get more information,” Nuland told reporters in Washington.

See store for details.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Timothy Geithner said Wednesday that he doesn’t expect to serve a second term as Treasury secretary. He said he doesn’t think President Barack Obama would ask him to remain if Obama won reelection.

“He’s not going to ask me to stay on, I’m pretty confident,” Geithner said in a Bloomberg Television interview. “I’m also confident he’s going to have the privilege of having another Treasury secretary.”

Geithner is the only remaining top official on Obama’s original economics team. He had considered leaving in August after the congressional battle over raising the debt limit was resolved.

Obama asked him to reconsider and remain in the Cabinet, and Geithner did. But the incident heightened expectations that Geithner would serve only through the 2012 election.

Businesses spend more, fire less as economy grows

By Christopher S. Rugaber and Martin Crutsinger Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Businesses are growing more confident in the economy, investing in more equipment and laying off fewer workers.

Government figures on manufacturing and unemployment claims released Thursday raised hopes on the eve of a report on how much the economy grew in the October-December quarter.

Still, 2011 ended up as the worst year on record for new-home sales, a reminder that the economy has a long way to go.

“Business optimism seems to be picking up, which is critical to the growth and competitiveness of the U.S. economy over the long haul,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial.

Orders for manufactured goods expected to last at least three years rose 3 percent last month, the Commerce Department said. And demand for goods that indicate business investment plans hit an all-time high.

A tax break that expired in December for large equipment purchases may have helped boost orders. Still, many economists said most companies are likely buying equipment simply because business is improving.

Manufacturers “have a real need to ramp up their spending on capital improvements ... because the economy is growing and industrial capacity has not kept up,” said Carl Riccadonna, an economist at Deutsche Bank.

That growth was evident after Caterpillar said

| 7A

its fourth-quarter profit jumped 60 percent. The world’s largest maker of construction and mining equipment also issued 2012 guidance above Wall Street predictions.

And 3M Co., which makes everything from Post-It Notes to Scotch tape, said sales in its industrial and transportation unit rose 14 percent in the fourth-quarter.

The increase was driven by parts for cars and planes.

Factories are busier in large part because businesses are ordering more communication equipment, industrial machinery and autos. Economists pay close attention to demand for such core capital goods, which are considered a good proxy for business investment plans.

In December, orders for core capital goods rose to a record $68.9 billion. That’s more than 45 percent higher than the recession low hit in April 2009.

The increase offered some reassurance about the status of the recovery, especially after core capital goods fell in October and November. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve cited the decline while warning that the economy remains vulnerable.

After seeing the government’s report, some economists said those concerns may have been premature.

“With big-ticket spending rising and the labor market firming, the economy is a lot better than some central bankers think,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors.

Companies are also laying off fewer workers, which has some economists optimistic about job growth in January.

KBA restart Although a forensic audit revealed some past problems at the Kansas Bioscience Authority, it also may give the KBA a fresh start.

N

ow that the forensic audit of the Kansas Bioscience Authority and its former president and chief executive officer has been completed, it is time for a fresh start for the KBA. The audit exposed the phoniness and deceit of former KBA President Tom Thornton and the unwillingness of KBA directors to blow the whistle on him. Some directors were negligent for not speaking up while others were wrong in covering up for the leader and his actions and policies.

The audit reported Thornton engaged in document destruction and numerous other ethical violations, as well as other highly questionable actions. All of this time, his directors were singing his praises, defending his actions and ridiculing those who questioned his work.

The results vindicate Gov. Sam Brownback’s call for the audit, as well as the effort of Sen. Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, to expose Thornton’s wrongdoing. Without the audit, chances are, Thornton still would be KBA president and his supportive board members would be riding high, engaged in questionable, if not illegal or unethical actions.

Unfortunately, the audit only tells half the story of Thornton’s role in the KBA, leaving out how partisan politics entered the picture and brought about substantial changes in the way the KBA operated and used millions of dollars intended to improve the Kansas economy.

The authority was created by the Kansas Legislature in 2004. During its first several years, new businesses and industries were attracted to the state, and existing businesses expanded. It is estimated that, in the first several years, those businesses encouraged to come to the state or expand their operations with KBA assistance now employ about 3,500 people.

The KBA operation was a success in every respect. In fact, it was so successful that thenGov. Kathleen Sebelius and her insiders realized they wanted to be part of the operation, hook their star to KBA and take control. That’s when Thornton and several directors started to play hardball politics. They and Sebelius finessed the removal of then-Chairman Clay Blair, who had been so successful in guiding the KBA in its startup and in recruiting new business and industry to the state. Thornton, Sebelius and others have tried to claim credit for attracting the highly prized National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility to Manhattan and Kansas State University, but it was under Blair’s leadership that the effort was organized and launched. U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts also played an extremely important role.

The KBA is a unique creation of former state Rep. Kenny Wilk and former state Sen. Nick Jordan. It has great potential, but it has been severely damaged and handicapped by the efforts of Thornton and Sebelius to inject their own egos, self interests and political aspirations into the operation.

The state and its taxpayers deserve better. It’s good Brownback has called for more oversight, holding back funds until there is evidence the KBA has gotten its house in order. Changes must be made so the authority can resume its intended position as a highly respected, nonpartisan body that can help Kansas grow through bioscience research, innovation and commercialization.

There is every reason to be optimistic about the future if the KBA can regain the respect and performance record it enjoyed before it became a political football. Merely handing out gifts or grants of millions of dollars may win friends and admirers, but far more effort needs to be devoted to the hard work of attracting new businesses to Kansas from throughout the country and abroad.

Candidates must move beyond slogans WASHINGTON — The foreignpolicy theme that should dominate this year’s presidential campaign is “American renewal.”

Each candidate claims to have a strategy for halting the nation’s decline, but their versions often amount to “more of the same” — which ain’t gonna work.

For a bracing discussion of what a revival of U.S. power would actually require over the next few decades, I recommend a new book called “Strategic Vision,” by Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter. Though he worked for a president who came to symbolize American “malaise” in the late 1970s, Brzezinski has always been on the hawkish, “realist” side of his party, and in this book, he is especially critical of status-quo policies.

A wake-up line in Brzezinski’s book is that there are “alarming similarities” between America today and the Soviet Union just prior to its fall, including a “gridlocked governmental system incapable of enacting serious policy revisions,” a backbreaking military budget, and a failing “decade-long attempt to conquer Afghanistan.”

The gist of Brzezinski’s strategy is that America must become strong enough to act as “a responsible partner to the rising and increasingly assertive East.” He sees a future U.S. role as a “balancer” and “conciliator” among Asian nations that, left to themselves, will get into messy fights.

“

The gist of Brzezinski’s strategy is that America must become strong enough to act as ‘a responsible partner to the rising and increasingly assertive East.’ He sees a future U.S. role as a ‘balancer’ and ‘conciliator’ among Asian nations that, left to themselves, will get into messy fights.”

To achieve this revival, Brzezinski argues that the U.S. needs to work closely with a democratizing Russia and Turkey (assuming they continue on that path) to build what he calls a “larger West.” If the U.S. tries too boldly to go it alone, or too meekly to accommodate the rising powers, it’s headed for trouble.

Here we come to the heart of the political debate in this presidential campaign: What does American “strength” mean in the 21st century? Is it a recovery of the kind of power and prerogative

the U.S. had, say, in the Reagan years? Or is it something more aligned with changes in the global balance? Brzezinski would favor the latter, but let’s look at what the candidates are saying.

In every GOP debate, you hear insistent calls for a restoration of American power from the frontrunners, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. The specific GOP prescriptions mostly involve muscleflexing: more military pressure on Iran; more CIA covert action against Iran, Syria and other rivals; tougher trade policies toward China. The implicit theme is that President Obama’s efforts to mend fences with allies and work through the U.N. are signs of weakness — and that a strong America must lead from the front.

The problem with the GOP version is that America is already muscle-bound to a fault, and to exercise power effectively it needs good allies. If Brzezinski is right, and a “larger West” requires cooperation with Russia and Turkey, then some of the GOP rhetoric about exceptionalism is counterproductive — little more than vain boasting. Obama has actually begun the job of cultivating these new partners, with his 2009 “Russia reset” and his patient diplomacy with Turkey.

The GOP candidates sometimes seem disdainful of global realpolitik, and they voice the romantic, go-it-alone ethos of the neoconservative wing of the party. Romney, for example, dismissed the idea of negotiat-

ing peace with the Taliban — a position even some of his own advisers reject. On the Middle East, Gingrich disdains the twostate solution that every other major nation (including Israel) favors — calling the Palestinians an “invented” people who, presumably, don’t deserve a state.

That kind of rhetoric is so far outside the mainstream that it’s the strategic equivalent of walking off the plank.

As for Obama’s strategic vision, he talks a better game than he plays. He understands that the U.S. economy needs rebuilding, but despite the ringing agenda he laid out once more in Tuesday’s State of the Union address, he hasn’t enacted the strong policies that would deal with debt, decaying infrastructure and bad public education.

Blaming congressional deadlock isn’t a strategy, it’s an excuse.

Obama was elected to make government work again. If he can’t do it, someone else should try.

A similar criticism applies to Obama’s foreign policy. He raised hopes at home and abroad because he proposed to resolve festering problems, such as the Palestinian issue. In reality, he flopped. His Afghanistan policy is a muddle, and that’s being charitable. In this campaign, Obama needs to explain how he will lead America past the old slogans and status-quo policies into an era of genuine national revival.

PUBLIC FORUM

Trash input

Gingrich is pragmatic choice A longtime conservative friend sent me an email after reading something positive I had written about Newt Gingrich: “Whoever votes (for) or supports Newt for president is out of their mind.”

It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been called crazy.

He continued: “You can believe in redemption, as I do, but you are not thinking seriously if you support a person for president with the baggage he is carrying. What an example for our children and future generations when we dismiss character as the foundation for leadership.”

There’s more, but I get his point.

The evangelical Christian population of South Carolina apparently believes that while character is a good thing, the ability to defeat President Obama and dismantle the welfare state is more important.

Here, in part, is how I responded to my friend: What is the standard for selecting a president and who decides? Franklin Roosevelt cheated on Eleanor with Lucy Mercer and perhaps others, yet he helped to win World War II and led us out of the Great Depression. In 1964, Lyndon Johnson used a questionable encounter between U.S. and North Vietnamese vessels in the Gulf of Tonkin to ram a resolution through Congress that sucked us deeper into the Vietnam War, which needlessly killed more than 58,000 Americans. Johnson had one wife, but allegedly had a roving eye.

Richard Nixon by all indications was faithful to Pat, but unfaithful to the Constitution. Gerald Ford and Betty (who was divorced) were pro-choice on abortion, which

The evangelical Christian population of South Carolina apparently believes that while character is a good thing, the ability to defeat President Obama and dismantle the welfare state is more important.”

is anathema to social conservatives. Jimmy Carter was a faithful, church-going, Sunday schoolteaching, born-again man. He was a profile of what social conservatives say they want in a president, yet they now judge him a failure.

Ronald Reagan was divorced, but a good president.

Bill Clinton kept the tabloids, talk radio and mainstream media busy with his marital transgressions. His apologists said sex was a private matter between him and his family and had no bearing on his ability to do his job. George W. Bush spoke of being “redeemed,” as Gingrich does, but from alcohol, not women. The judgment of history is yet to be rendered on his eight years in office.

And now we have Barack Obama, who is the husband of

one wife and seems to love her and their two daughters. But conservatives don’t like his policies.

To say that Gingrich has not always lived up to the ideals he professes does not diminish those ideals. When Thomas Jefferson wrote and delegates of the Continental Congress edited the Declaration of Independence, some of those assembled owned slaves. Did writing “all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights” ring less true because of slavery? No, it simply set an ideal in place that nearly 90 years later Abraham Lincoln (and 100 years after that, Martin Luther King Jr.) would reference in successful efforts to force government to recognize the rights of African-Americans.

As America grows more secular, less religious and less married, appeals to “morality” will increasingly fall on deaf ears.

Charles Murray wrote about this “new American divide” in last Saturday’s Wall Street Journal.

Voters on one side of the divide — the “traditionalists” — are conflicted. Social conservatives seem similarly conflicted in the Romney vs. Gingrich vs. Santorum contest. Two of the candidates have had just one wife and they are religious. And then there’s Newt.

Conservative voters are being forced to make a pragmatic choice between their “traditional values” and who can best defeat President Obama. If Gingrich’s convincing victory in the South Carolina primary is any indication, they appear to be making that choice.

— Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Media Services.

To the editor: What’s the point of holding public meetings to supposedly listen to the residents of Lawrence express their opinions on the proposed trash and recycling changes? The Solid Waste Task Force has announced that, regardless of any feedback by the public, they are going to proceed with their recommendations because “it is good for the city of Lawrence.”

From what I read and hear, the residents of Lawrence do not want the proposed changes. People do not want to be required to pay for trash bins. Most people do not have room to store the bins in their garages, so the bins will sit outside in the rain and snow and ice. They will be unsightly. They will be cumbersome. They will likely be blown over or tipped over where animals can get into the trash. After they are emptied, I often see the carts rolling back out into the street or tipping over where cars have to swerve to avoid them.

Has the task force consulted the waste collection employees who actually do the work? How do they feel about the reduction in jobs if the city goes to automated trash trucks? And how are the figures tabulated regarding how many residents of Lawrence currently recycle? Why would we want to be forced to pay for curbside recycling when Walmart offers a perfectly good and free recycling program, as well as the many free recycling containers located throughout the city? And all of these largely unwanted changes will cost the residents of Lawrence more money. Very disappointing indeed.

Kris Bates, Lawrence

FIREBIRD WINTER CLASSIC

Classic split

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

ISU will challenge Withey In sports, when something is as important to its fan base as the Kansas University basketball team is to its followers, conclusions tend to be reached quickly.

The memory of Jeff Withey missing a few wide-open 15-footers in the first half of the Jan. 14 game against Iowa State in Allen Fieldhouse has rooted so deeply and replayed so many times in some brains that the 7-foot center is struggling with his jump shot.

“I don’t know that I buy that he’s struggling,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “He’s probably taken six and made two.”

Anywhere else in the research university on the hill, that wouldn’t qualify as sufficient data. Shooting that shot more often is a more meaningful issue than the accuracy rate on those rare occasions he has pulled the trigger.

“Cole (Aldrich) got really good at that shot, and he will, too, because he’s a terrific free-throw shooter,” Self said of Withey. “We’ve got to get him to where he’s looking to score from there. Our offense will flow better if they have to guard us at all five spots.”

This season is all about improvement for Withey, a junior from San Diego who leads the Big 12 in blocked shots with 3.3 per game. He’s shooting .523 overall and .847 from the line.

With his new haircut, Withey looks like an altar boy. He’s always played like an Alter Boy, more now than ever.

“I think he keys our success as much as anybody,” Self said.

“He makes it awful hard to score on us in tight when he’s blocking and altering like he is right now.”

When Kansas visits Ames on Saturday to play Iowa State in Hilton Coliseum for a 1 p.m. tipoff, Withey will face challenges at both ends. During the first game, Withey spent a portion of the game guarding point power forward Royce White, who had 18 points and 17 rebounds.

Because Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg surrounded Thomas Robinson with multiple defenders even more than most coaches do, Withey found himself standing alone with the ball in his hands and shot jumpers by default instead of with confidence.

“I think they are going to do the same thing, focus on T-Rob, and I’ve been working on that jump shot,” Withey said. “I missed three or four of them the last game, but I think they’re going to play the same way they did, and we’re going to have to hit shots. No matter what, teams usually focus on Thomas. So I’ve been lucky this year to get a lot of opportunities on the offensive end.”

It’s easy to see Withey having a big day Saturday offensively, not as easy to see it happening at the other end if he’s on White as often as he was in the first match-up.

“He’s a great player,” Withey said. “It’s going to be tough guarding him. He’s quick. He can handle the ball. I think I know what to expect this time.

It’s hard to believe that somebody that tall and that strong can be kind of like a point guard, and the first time it kind of shocked me. Now I know what’s going to happen. ... I’ve been guarding more on the perimeter (in practice).”

Maybe the way to go is to put Elijah Johnson or Travis Releford on White for stretches and leave Withey and Robinson inside to win the battle of the boards. Or Justin Wesley.

White only shoots .512 from the line.

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Even though Topeka Washburn Rural had the best player on the floor Thursday, Lawrence High’s girls basketball team wasn’t interested in conceding its first-round game to the Blues at the Firebird Winter Classic.

The Lions’ scrappy approach and unsettling defense limited WRHS and junior point guard Erika Lane for almost three quarters before turnovers cost LHS a chance to pull off an upset, and Rural hung on for a 46-34 victory.

Lawrence coach Nick Wood said he knew the Lions (4-6) would have to slow down Lane,

who finished with nine points, to have a chance.

“She’s one of the best players in the state,” the coach said.

Lane actually scored all nine of her points in the first three quarters, but it wasn’t until late that she started breaking down LHS defenders off the dribble and setting up her teammates for open baskets.

“We had done a really good job (up to that point),” Wood said.

While Lawrence’s defense helped it keep up with WRHS (8-3) most of the night, the Lions’ offensive woes hurt them in the final minutes.

The talents of Abbey Casady, a junior guard on Free State High’s girls basketball team, aren’t limited to the court.

Known among the Firebirds for her natural singing ability, too, there had been a running joke on the team that she should serenade the crowd with the national anthem.

It turns out her teammates and coaches weren’t kidding.

Casady added one more thing to her pregame routine Thursday at FSHS, belting out “The StarSpangled Banner” before helping her team beat Blue Valley West, 69-45, in the opening round of the Please see LAWRENCE, page 3B Firebird Winter Classic.

In the hours leading up to Casady’s 10-point, four-rebound night, she learned Free State coach Bryan Duncan had suggested she take the mic and open the game in song before having her name announced in the starting lineup.

The opportunity provided her a chance to combine two of her personal hobbies — hoops and choir.

“A lot of times, choir and basketball kind of get in the way of each other,” she said.

That wasn’t so on this occasion, even though Casady feared she would be too focused on singing during warm-ups.

Taylor’s treys ‘aren’t important’ ————

Teahan, Johnson struggling behind arc

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tyshawn Taylor has been hot from three-point land — teammates Elijah Johnson and Conner Teahan not so much — in recent Kansas University basketball games.

“I was actually just talking to Elijah about this yesterday.

My threes aren’t that important because that’s not really my game,” said Taylor, a 6-foot3 senior who has hit 10 of his last 18 threes over the last three games (55.6 percent) and for the year is a 45.7 percent long-distance shooter.

“It’s good that they are falling for me, but I’m at my best when I’m attacking. That’s what I’m looking to do. If the threes fall, that’s good, but if not, we just have to keep play-

ing. We can’t live and die by that.”

Teahan, a 6-6 senior, has made five of his last 23 threes (22 percent) over the last six games and has made 36.4 percent for the season. Johnson, who made one of seven threes in Monday’s 6454 victory over Texas A&M, has cashed 19 of 49 (38.8 percent) treys in his last seven games, which is actually better than his 28.8 mark for the year.

“I think he’s kind of falling in love with that three,” Taylor said of Johnson, a 6-4 junior from Las Vegas. “I’ve been yelling at him and talking to him and giving him pep talks and letting him know he’s a way better player (than that), he’s Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo not strictly a three-point shooter.

Cleveland cornerbacks V’Angelo Bentley and Sean Draper, both of Glenville Academic Campus, have decided to make their final visits to KU, thanks in large part to the efforts of KU quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus, who handles the Ohio area.

Draper is the 53rd-ranked cornerback in the nation according to Rivals.com, and Bentley is ranked 63rd. Both players carry three-star ratings Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

Buccaneers turn to Rutgers’ Schiano TAMPA, FLA. (AP) — The Buccaneers are counting on Greg Schiano to lead them back to respectability and transform Tampa Bay into a consistent winner — much in the same way he made Rutgers matter again.

Schiano The 45-yearold former Scarlet Knights coach was hired Thursday, more than three weeks

after the Bucs fired Raheem Morris following a 4-12 finish.

The team scheduled a news conference for today to introduce Schiano, who inherits a team that allowed the most points in the NFL this season.

“Coach Schiano is a bright, meticulous teacher who knows how to get the most out of his players,” general manager Mark Dominik said.

Schiano was at Rutgers for 11 seasons, taking them from college football laughingstocks to a program that has had winning

records in six of the last seven years. The Scarlet Knights appointed offensive line coach Kyle Flood as interim head coach.

The Bucs fired Morris on Jan. 2 after Tampa Bay lost 10 straight to end the season, most of them by double-digit margins. The collapse following a promising 4-2 start came only a year after the NFL’s youngest team went 10-6 and narrowly missed the playoffs.

The Glazer family that owns the team interviewed at least 10 candidates for the opening, including Oregon’s Chip Kelly, who

was offered the position before turning it down earlier this week.

SPORTS ON TV

The Morning Call (Allentown, Pa.)

It may be Joe Paterno’s final gift to his beloved university.

At least for one week, the images of ugliness and despicable behavior caused by Jerry Sandusky’s alleged child abuse have been cast aside.

Ever since news broke about Paterno’s deteriorating health on Saturday night and the announcement of his death on Sunday morning, the focus — and rightfully so — has been on Paterno’s shining legacy in the world of college football and his immense contributions to Penn State.

For a few days, the replay of seeing Sandusky walking into police headquarters in handcuffs in November — a scene that grew sickening to many, especially the Penn State faithful — and the lurid, horrifying images painted in the grand jury report, have been replaced.

None of that stuff will be forgotten, of course, and all will resurface during Sandusky’s trial.

But for now, the heartwarming images of the impromptu memorial shrine at the Paterno statue outside Beaver Stadium and the long lines of mourners waiting to pay their respects at Paterno’s viewing have cast Penn State in more appealing light.

Everyone is saying, with some justification and logic, that Penn State’s recruiting process will be scuttled by the scandal. It may be difficult for the Nittany Lions to keep pace with their Big Ten rivals and national powers, at least in the next few years.

However, if you’re on the fence about where you want to go and you’ve witnessed the depth of the passion of the Penn State community and heard the teary-eyed tributes and kind words bestowed on Paterno, you just might reconsider and give Happy Valley a look.

The Paterno family has distanced itself from the immediate notion that JoePa died of a broken heart.

Son Jay Paterno and his sister, Mary Kay Paterno-Hort, went on national TV in what seemed like an effort to make everyone feel better about what most consider to be a tragedy. It’s likely what Joe would have wanted them to convey: that despite the bad ending, good feelings should abound.

National media, which seemed to turn quickly and harshly against Paterno in November without him ever being allowed by the board of trustees to hold a press conference, pivoted again in the past week. Most have tried to distinguish between the entirety of his career and his admitted lack of action in the Sandusky case.

Perhaps no one did it better than Dan Patrick on his syndicated radio show.

First, Patrick played a replay of an interview he had in 2008 with Brent Musburger, who talked about Paterno not wanting to be like Bear Bryant.

“Joe is fearful he will not be with us if he stepped away,” Musburger said in 2008. “He’s a man who doesn’t fish, doesn’t play golf, and has no other interests than his family and football. He’s just afraid what would happen to the rest of his life if he walked away from it. He and I have talked extensively about it.”

Patrick then got to his own sentiments.

“You have to look at the entire picture,” Patrick said. “It’s easy to look at what he didn’t do with Jerry Sandusky, and I came down very hard on him and on Penn State and I thought there was a cover-up from the very beginning.

“But before Joe Paterno there really wasn’t Penn State; certainly not on the national level. He brought a lot of integrity there and a lot of great kids went through that program and he did a lot of wonderful things for that university. Sometimes, we just remember what happens at the very end, like Willie Mays playing for the New York Mets when he shouldn’t have been on the field.

“On this day and on these ensuing days, remember good things about Joe Paterno.

He earned that.”

SUE PATERNO IS GIVEN A STANDING OVATION AND IS EMBRACED as she enters the memorial service for her husband, former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, on Thursday in State College, Pa. Paterno died Sunday at age 85.

Friends, ex-players pay respects to Paterno STATE COLLEGE, PA. — Crediting him with building not just better athletes but better men, former Penn State football standouts and others paid tribute to Joe Paterno in a huge campus memorial service Thursday that exposed a strong undercurrent of anger over his firing.

In a 21⁄2-hour gathering that capped three days of mourning on campus, Nike chairman and CEO Phil Knight instantly brought the near-capacity crowd of 12,000 to its feet in thunderous applause when he defended the coach’s handling of child-sex allegations leveled against a former assistant. Paterno was fired over the episode two months ago.

“This much is clear to me: If there is a villain in this tragedy, it lies in that investigation and not in Joe Paterno’s response,” Knight said. Paterno’s widow, Sue, was among those rising to their feet.

Later, Paterno’s son Jay received a standing ovation when he declared: “Joe Paterno left this world with a clear conscience.”

The ceremony at the university basketball arena was filled with lavish praise that probably would have embarrassed Paterno, who died of lung cancer Sunday at 85 after racking up more wins — 409 — than any other major-college football coach and leading his team to two national championships in his 46 seasons.

Stanley made eagle on his final hole for a 10-under 62, his best score in two years on the PGA Tour. Levin shot 29 on the back nine and had a 62, matching his career best on tour.

They were a shot ahead of FedEx Cup champion Bill Haas, who had a double bogey on his 15th hole and still managed a 63. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland opened with a 70.

Warren’s career-best 620 sparks LHS girls

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Lawrence High sophomore bowler Kierstan Warren did the math, and heading into her final frame during Thursday’s home invitational, her three-game total sat at 598.

Two tournaments ago, she’d bowled a 596 series.

Last tournament, she’d bowled a 597.

Coach Paula Bastemeyer had joked with her earlier in the week, saying Warren was sneaking up on a 600 series and trying not to frighten it away.

“I was scared,” Warren said. “I was honestly scared to death.”

Turned out there was no need to be. Warren finished out her final frame strong, posting a career-best 620 se-

“I know the lanes, and I worked them,” Warren said

with a smile. “And I finally got my 600.”

Warren had posted a 600 series only twice in her career before Thursday, and she’d never gotten higher than 613.

basketball or singing, I do terrible when I’m nervous,” she said.

The 5-foot-9 junior managed to calm her nerves and, after knocking out her vocal responsibilities, Casady came out and hit her first two jumpers, helping Free State (7-3) take a commanding 19-5 lead by the end of the first quarter.

Duncan was pleased to see Casady contributing on the offensive end.

“That’s crucial for us, to make people have to come out and guard her on the perimeter like that,” the coach said.

There were plenty of Firebirds making things difficult for the Jaguars (1-10). Casady was one of five FSHS players to score in double figures.

Junior Kennedy Kirkpatrick led all scorers with 18, junior A’Liyah Rogers scored 13 off the bench, and Chelsea Casady and Lynn Robinson each finished with 10 points.

Turnovers: BVW 14, FSHS 14.

Duncan described Rogers as outstanding throughout the 24-point win.

“She brought tremendous energy on defense like she always does,” the coach said, “but tonight she really showed a good aggressive attitude on the offensive end of the floor.”

BVW crept back in the game in the second quarter, but Free State quickly regained control in the third, outscoring the Jaguars 12-4 in the first three minutes of the second half. Jackie Garcia crossed over a BVW defender and hit a short jumper,

then assisted on Free State’s next two buckets as the Firebirds got back on track.

“We just needed a little more energy,” Duncan said.

“We didn’t need any strategy changes.”

Abbey Casady had energy all night after pulling double duty and even set a seasonhigh point total for herself.

After finishing 5-for-7, she said big offensive outings aren’t usually her thing.

“It doesn’t happen very often,” she joked about making shots.

At 6:30 tonight, Free State will play Topeka Washburn Rural, which handed Lawrence a 46-34 first-round loss, in the tournament semifinals.

In Thursday’s other firstround games at the Firebird Winter Classic, Wichita Bishop Carroll defeated Junction City, 55-30, and Leavenworth rolled to a 61-33 victory against Kansas City, Kan., Sumner Academy.

At 3 p.m. today, JCHS will meet Sumner in a consolation semifinal. At 8:15, Carroll will take on Leavenworth, with the winner advancing to Saturday’s championship game.

did on the defensive end,” Wood said.

LHS turned the ball over five times in the fourth quarter while connecting on two of its six shots.

“We had 12 turnovers in the second half, and it just killed us,” Wood said. “It wasn’t necessarily anything they were doing. It was just kind of self-inflicted stuff.”

Down only five points entering the fourth quarter, Lawrence cut the deficit to 35-32 in the opening minute, when Kylie Seaman stole the ball and took it the length of the floor for a layup. But the Lions wouldn’t score again until 1:57 remained in the game and Kionna Coleman managed a bucket in the paint. Even after that basket, Rural maintained a comfortable 10-point lead.

The Lions were down after the loss, because they had actually taken a lead twice in the second half. Anna Wright cashed in a three-pointer early in the third quarter to put LHS up, 24-23. After the Blues re-gained the lead, Christina Haswood momentarily gave Lawrence a 27-26 advantage with 4:35 to go in the third.

Wood said the Lions simply didn’t show enough ingenuity when they had the ball.

“We were standing too much on offense,” he said.

“Our energy level wasn’t where it needed to be.”

Wright led LHS with eight points. Coleman and Haswood scored six apiece, and Monica Howard finished with five.

and could significantly upgrade a fairly thin position for KU. “These are quality players who have been looked at by a lot of BSC schools,” recruiting analyst Jon Kirby said.

“And they have options. The fact that they’re coming to visit is a great sign that KU has done a great job getting on these types of players in such a short amount of time.”

In addition to Kansas, Bentley, 5-foot-10, 178 pounds, has offers from Air Force, Akron, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan, Illinois, Kent State, Ohio, Pitt and Toledo.

Draper, 6-foot, 165, has offers from many of the same schools, including Akron, Ball State, Bowling Green, Buffalo, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kent State, Louisville, Ohio, Pitt and Toledo.

Of KU’s returning corners, only Greg Brown and Tyler Patmon have starting experience, and adding depth and talent clearly has become a priority for coach Charlie Weis.

paint just like I am. He has to get himself going, get fouled, attack the rim, make a couple free throws, get a layup, and maybe those long balls will start falling. He’s keeping a good attitude, working hard, coming in the gym early to shoot. He’ll be fine,” Taylor added.

Johnson has been to the free-throw line 17 times all season, making 13 for 76.5 percent. Taylor has made 83 of 121 free throws for 68.6 percent.

“He can get hot. He can make four or five (threes) in a row. I’ve seen him do it, but I think he’s just falling in love with it too much,” Taylor said.

“It’s still going to be there, try to get something easier to get something going. That’s what I tell him, anyway.”

KU coach Bill Self said the good news is he’s seen “nothing wrong” with Johnson’s long-range shooting form.

“It can get a little flat sometimes,” Self said. “If you are a good shooter, you never miss right or left, you miss long or short. If you notice, his misses are all long. I don’t think it’s major. I guess one was wide-left last game, but for the most part they are short or long.”

Johnson definitely isn’t shy about bombing away.

“Obviously, the way he was clipping them off the other day (vs. A&M), he wasn’t too worried about what happened on the previous shot. That’s a positive,” Self said. “I think his shot selection the other day wasn’t great, though. It was almost like he was pressing, just trying to make one. I think he has progressed a lot in a lot of ways. He had a bad game against Texas A&M, but he also made the biggest shot of the game against Texas. He has done a lot of really good things, he just hasn’t shot the ball consistently from behind the arc.”

Of Taylor’s three-point accuracy, Self said: “I never put numbers on guys, but I thought he could potentially be a 40 percent three-point shooter, which I think is pretty good. If you take away a stretch at the beginning of Big 12 play (4-for-17 over the first four games), he’s probably shooting about 50 percent for the year. He has done a good job with his shot.

It has gotten a lot better. Still, the best thing he does is get to the basket.”

KU will meet Iowa State at 1 p.m. Saturday at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.

Berglund hearing today What could go down as the final chapter in the long and highly publicized relationship between KU and quarterback Brock Berglund is scheduled for 8 a.m. today.

That’s when a hearing between Berglund and his representatives and KU’s Student-Athlete Appeals Board is slated to take place.

Berglund, the three-star Highlands Ranch, Colo., quarterback who missed all of the 2011 season because of legal trouble in Colorado, was dismissed from the team

by Weis after missing a mandatory team meeting on Jan. 15. Despite removing him from the team, KU has yet to release Berglund from his scholarship, a move that has stalled his ability to play at another school.

Frankamp MVP: Future KU combo guard Conner Frankamp tied Nino Samuel’s McPherson Invitational record of 114 points (in three games) in winning MVP honors at last week’s tourney.

Frankamp, a 6-foot junior from Wichita North, scored 48 points against Derby, 38 vs. Buhler and 28 against Blue Valley West. Samuel scored 114 points at that tourney back in 1972. Frankamp’s 48-point outing came in a 66-61 loss in the fifth-place game. Samuel still holds the single-game scoring record in the tourney (54).

“He (Frankamp) is unbelievable. His point total got away from us a little bit,” Derby coach Brett Flory told derbyinformer.com.

“You have to tip your cap to him, obviously. We were trapping him at every opportunity, running two guys at him every opportunity and he still put on a show.”

Ellis honored: Future KU forward Perry Ellis of Wichita Heights averaged 29 points a game in taking most inspirational player honors at last week’s Dodge City Tournament of Champions. Ellis also made the all-tourney team and won the tourney’s academic award. Ellis, a 6-8 senior, scored 31 points in Heights’ 69-52 title victory over Wichita East. He hit 13 of 16 free throws in that game.

Celtics 91, Magic 83 ORLANDO, FLA. — Paul Pierce had 24 points and 10 assists, and E’Twaun Moore added 16 points to help Boston erase a 27-point deficit and beat Orlando for the second time this week Thursday night.

Pierce and Moore had 10 points each in the fourth quarter.

Dwight Howard led the Magic with 16 points and 16 rebounds. Orlando had an 11-point lead entering the fourth quarter, but shot 2-of17 in the final 12 minutes.

The Magic scored just eight points in the period.

The Celtics have won three straight for just the second time this season. It also was their fourth consecutive victory over the Magic, dating to last season.

Since a season-best, fivegame winning streak, the Magic have lost three times in five games, including a 31-point defeat at Boston on Monday.

After being mostly manhandled on both ends for three quarters, Boston found its energy in the final 12 minutes, sparked by Pierce and Moore.

The Celtics opened the fourth quarter with a 15-1 run and grabbed their first lead since the opening period, 7976 with 7:32 to play.

The Magic went 0-for-7 from the field, missed five of six free throws and committed three turnovers during Boston’s spurt.

A free throw by Pierce after Ryan Anderson’s technical foul made it 84-78 with 3:47 remaining. The Magic got within 84-80 after a pair of free throws by Hedo Turkoglu, but no closer.

Early on, it seemed like the Magic’s night.

In a reversal of its dismal performance in the first half of Monday’s loss, Orlando led 58-37 at halftime on Thursday — eclipsing its point total in the entire first game by a basket in the opening 24 minutes.

With three starters out, including center Jermaine O’Neal, Boston coach Doc Rivers was forced to start Kevin Garnett opposite Howard.

The move worked out early.

Howard was whistled for two quick fouls — one while setting a screen, and the second defending Garnett about 15 feet from the basket. He was forced to the bench less than three minutes in.

The Magic picked it up on both ends without him, and closed the quarter on a 30-11 run to build a 16-point lead.

Anderson was active throughout the spurt and led with 12 first-quarter points.

He also kept several possessions alive by tipping the ball out from scrums underneath the basket.

When my boss found out how much money they left, he decided to take a portion of it.

He said he deserved it because he provided the atmosphere and decorations and also helped cook the meal.

I was under the assumption anniesmailbox@comcast.net that a tip goes to the server.

Or do I attend and participate in this charade? — Heartbroken Mother of the Bride Dear Mother: You’ve answered your own question. If you don’t attend, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. So go. Most weddings require a certain amount of play-acting and being on one’s very best behavior. Surely you can manage it for a few hours on Susan’s wedding day. Yes, she seems more than a little snobby, but if you don’t focus on how much you dislike your role at the wedding, you might even enjoy yourself.

Please try.

‘Bering Sea Gold’ goes to extremes Cable has become a place where men and women go to get away from each other. Every night, there are millions of women watching marathons of shows about cakes, weddings and dresses, while guys wallow in macho daydreams like “Gold Rush” (8 p.m., Discovery) or its more extreme and ridiculous incarnation, “Bering Sea Gold” (9 p.m., Discovery).

On old-school sitcoms, Ralph Kramden (or his many sitcom descendants) would hatch a harebrained, get-rich scheme in act one, run amok in act two and have Alice dutifully reel him back to reality as she read him the riot act by act three.

On cable, and in Alaska, the men are pretty much left to their own devices.

And things get out of hand. Right away. All the time. ‘‘Bering” introduces most people to a rather novel way of mining. Ships leave Nome, Alaska, and either dredge or vacuum the sea bottom for tiny gold nuggets and sandlike particles. Even if this took place in Miami’s Biscayne Bay, it would be a difficult, dangerous and highly mechanized effort. But this is Nome, where the water temperature rarely gets above 45 degrees, even when it’s “nice” outside.

Common sense dictates that industrial mining near the Arctic Circle is no place for a solo freelancer. But common sense makes for bad reality TV. Four boats appear on “Bering,” one more jerry-rigged than the next. A sunken one belongs to Ian, a burnt-out social worker. The largest craft, the Christine Rose, has lost its steering and propulsion mechanism, so the genius crew decides to venture forth, “paddling” as they go with the scoop of an enormous backhoe. It works well. Until it doesn’t. The Wild Ranger has functional motors, but a dysfunctional crew.

The most adventurous mining rig, the Clark, looks like a glorified rubber dinghy laden with equipment. It’s captained by Zeke, a bearded dreamer, and his nongirlfriend companion, Emily.

Like most stars of these kinds of shows, Zeke is desperate for cash, having recently run up nearly $190,000 in hospital bills.

That little detail makes one wonder: What if Zeke had health insurance? He might not be so broke and so motivated to be on a show as foolish and contrived as “Bering Sea Gold”! And that would surely be a blow to American exceptionalism.

“Great Performances” (8 p.m., PBS) presents “Tony Bennett: Duets II,” featuring collaborations with Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse, Queen Latifah, Michael Buble and others.

Tonight’s other highlights

On two episodes of “Chuck” (NBC): Sarah’s secret (7 p.m.), Chuck’s last hurrah (8 p.m.). The second is the series finale.

A return to some past triumphs on “Kitchen Nightmares” (7 p.m., Fox).

“Need to Know” (7:30 p.m., PBS) looks at the Florida GOP primary with an emphasis on the concerns of older voters.

Inventions related to cats, trucks and sales are unveiled on “Shark Tank” (7 p.m., ABC).

A girl exhibits a gift of prophecy on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox).

A couple goes to extreme lengths to get their son into an elite school on “Portlandia” (9 p.m., IFC).

Dear Annie: I never thought I’d be writing, but here I am. I was a single mother and struggled to raise my children without help.

They are all good kids.

One daughter, “Susan,” lives 2,000 miles away from the rest of the family. She left home early, went to the big city and educated herself. She is the only member of the family to have a degree, and we are very proud of her. Susan has worked hard to distance herself from her blue-collar roots.

She has high expectations of the rest of her family in terms of our behavior and attitudes, and we invariably disappoint her. Recently, Susan cut off all contact because the stress of dealing with us is “making her ill.”

Next spring, Susan will be marrying into a wealthy family. She has made it clear that we are not to behave in any manner that embarrasses her and informed me that she will have friends “keeping an eye on us” throughout the event.

It hurts all of us that we are not up to par for the social circles she is now a part of.

If I go to the wedding, I cannot genuinely be myself.

I was looking forward to meeting her new in-laws. (I haven’t met them in the five years she’s been with her fiance.) I want to share in Susan’s joy, but I feel I’ll be an

Big 12 Women No. 1 Baylor 89, Oklahoma 58 NORMAN, OKLA. — Brittney Griner had 18 points and seven blocks, Odyssey Sims and Terran Condrey scored 14 points apiece, and top-ranked Baylor ran away in the second half.

The Bears (20-0, 7-0 Big 12) barely escaped with a one-point win in Norman last season on their way to the regular-season conference title but this time left nothing in question.

Coach Kim Mulkey called timeout with 3:14 remaining after a 12-0 run pushed the lead to 32, then sent her front-liners back onto the court.

Griner hit her first threepointer of the season on Baylor’s next possession, and that got the reserves off the Bears bench.
