Public broadcasting dealt funding setback

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A divided House Appropriations Committee on Thursday rejected $800,000 sought by public broadcasting.

The motion to remove the funding request deadlocked 10-10, and then Appropriations Chairman Rep. Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, broke the tie and voted to kill the funds.

Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget proposal for the fiscal year that starts July 1 included $600,000 in state general funding for public broadcasting, which is a cut from current funding of approximately $2 million. A House budget subcommittee added $800,000 to Brownback’s proposal of $600,000, bringing the total to $1.2 million.

State Rep. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, said voting against the funding was one of the tough decisions legislators had to make to be “real fiscal conservatives.”

But the full Appropriations Committee action removed that $800,000, bringing the funding level back to Brownback’s original $600,000.

“It doesn’t say government radio, it says public radio and I think it’s time the government

get out of public radio,” said state Rep. Pete DeGraaf, R-Mulvane.

State Rep. Anthony Brown, REudora, said voting against the funding was one of the tough decisions legislators had to make to be “real fiscal conservatives.”

State Rep. Peggy Mast, R-Emporia, said with all the funding needs on the state and national level, legislators needed to reprioritize.

But several western Kansas legislators said that their constituents depended on public radio and public television. And other legislators said that public television, with its emphasis on early learning and children’s programming, was a service to the state.

This year’s home show to focus on options for remodeling vs. relocating

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

If you’re going to stay put, you might as well do it in style.

Many of the nearly 70 vendors at this weekend’s 12th Annual Lawrence Home Show will be playing off that theme as more residents look to remodel rather than relocate.

“Even with the economy, remodeling has stayed strong,” said Bobbie Flory, executive director of the Lawrence Home Builders Association, which organizes the show. “There’s activity in that market, and this is a one-stop shop to let people see the newest trends and designs.”

The show will have a new location this year.

All three days of the show will take place at Crown

Automotive, 3430 Iowa.

Show times are set from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. today, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

There is a $5 admission for adults, although $3 discounted tickets are availa b l e with a coupon.

Organizers said the show will have a heavy dose of products for people who want to turn outdoor space into living space.

“I think people are realizing that in a lot of cases now may not be the ideal time for them to make a move, but they still want to enjoy the home they’re living in,”

said Brian Pine of Pine Family Landscape Center.

The result has been a surge in new outdoor living products over the last several years, especially in the outd o o r kitchen a r e n a with pizza ovens, specialty smokers and other similar products becoming more common.

“The creativity of how people want to enjoy their homes has really increased,” Pine said.

Flory said the show also will have a heavy emphasis on energyefficiency improvement, such as doors, windows,

and even installers of geothermal systems that use the earth’s temperature to heat homes.

“But really energy efficiency isn’t what we consider a trend anymore,” Flory said. “It is just something that is here now and that everybody is paying attention to.”

The show also is scheduled to include lawn and garden equipment suppliers, banks that make home and remodeling loans, kitchen and bath companies, flooring firms and at least one other category.

“We have people out here who will build you a new home, too,” Flory said. “We still have those people.”

Judge tosses sidewalk blocking case ——

Municipal Court: City ordinance unconstitutional

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Lawrence Municipal Court judge has declared part of a city ordinance that makes it illegal to obstruct traffic on a sidewalk vague and unconstitutional.

Judge Randy McGrath made the ruling Wednesday in a trial of Robert Gilmore, 54, who faced three misdemeanor counts of prohibited use of a right of way for incidents last year on Massachusetts Street.

Prosecutors accused Gilmore, who sometimes goes by “Simon” and is often seen downtown wearing a robe or bed sheet, of blocking the sidewalk and violating the ordinance. Elizabeth Hafoka, a city prosecutor who handled the Jan. 27 trial, said the alleged incidents occurred June 14, Sept. 30 and Oct. 26.

The Lawrence City Commission on a 3-2 vote in 2005 approved the ordinance making it illegal to walk, stand, lie or sit on a sidewalk to block the lawful passage by another person or require the person to take evasive action to avoid physical contact. The ordinance was drafted in 2005 along with an “aggressive panhandling” ordinance.

Attorneys said McGrath found one subsection of the ordinance that makes it illegal to “continue to obstruct traffic” and the definition about people having to walk around someone was vague and violated the First Amendment. The leaving of objects in a right of way and intentionally obstructing traffic were said to be OK. Gilmore’s defense attorney, Shelley Hickman Clark, said the ruling was important because the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment gave people a Please see COURT, page 2A

According to past Journal-World stories, Gilmore’s mother said he received a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia in childhood.

Social services agencies in the past have been unsuccessful in attempting to help him.

Hafoka said the city has until Feb. 22 to decide whether to appeal the decision to Douglas County District Court.

McGrath, who retired as municipal court judge last year, heard the case because Judge Scott Miller recused himself. Miller was a city staff attorney starting in 2005 who crafted much of the city’s newer criminal ordinances and codes.

Audit: State Dept. acted properly in oil pipeline review WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department’s internal watchdog has cleared the agency of any impropriety in its review of a permit for a controversial pipeline that would carry Canadian oil across the continental United States.

In a report released to Congress on Thursday, the department’s inspector general said it found no evidence that State Department employees were improperly influenced by proponents of the Keystone XL pipeline, including the applicant TransCanada.

Opponents of the pipeline, which was ultimately rejected by President Barack Obama after a bitter political battle with congressional Republicans, had alleged that TransCanada had an inappropriately cozy relationship with some State Department employees conducting the review, which included an environmental impact statement.

The inspector general “determined that the department did not violate its role as an unbiased oversight agency,” the report said.

It “found no evidence that communications between department officials, TransCanada, the Canadian government, proponents, and opponents of Keystone XL deviated from the department’s obligations under federal law,” it said. “Specifically, no records existed showing that department officials had made inappropriate commitments on behalf of the department to TransCanada or to the Canadian Government.”

The report said the department had fully complied with its responsibilities in conducting the review and had incorporated relevant concerns from other federal agencies but expressed concern that its limited resources and expertise impacted the process.

Gray-Little praises military for gains on domestic front

By Matt Erickson merickson@theworldco.info

While serving in conflicts abroad, the U.S. military has been on the front lines of a historic battle at home, said Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little: AfricanAmericans’ fight for civil rights.

Gray-Little, the first African-American and the first woman to be chancellor at KU, spoke at Fort Leavenworth on Thursday to a crowd of about 200 people, mostly soldiers, at a luncheon commemorating Black History Month.

“The military has often led the way in our nation’s history, particularly in the area of civil rights,” GrayLittle said in her address.

She noted that segregation in the military ended with an executive order from President Harry Truman in 1948, years or even decades before many other American institutions finally stopped forcing African-Americans to be separate from whites. And military units, she said, offered protection to civilrights marchers and African-American students entering schools that had been desegregated for the first time.

Military leaders tend to judge service members on merit above all other char-

jeopardize the public.

“We don’t believe the public wants the safety or the safety of their family dependent on an aging officer who stays in the profession simply because the retirement system will penalize them if they retire,” said Ed Klump, a former Topeka police chief and now lobbyist for several of the law enforcement groups.

The Kansas Legislature is considering a proposal to start a 401(k)-style plan for new teachers and government workers under the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, which faces longterm funding problems.

Gov. Sam Brownback sup-

acteristics, including race, GrayLittle said.

“You serve in one of the most diverse organizations Gray-Little in our society,” GrayLittle said, “and you and your leaders are judged by your abilities, work ethic and dedication.”

Of course, she said, the military has not always been free of racial discrimination. The Buffalo Soldiers, who are memorialized with a monument at Fort Leavenworth, and the Tuskegee Airmen fought as part of a segregated military.

But the military was still ahead of the curve on racial equality, Gray-Little said. And though the most prominent supporter of African-Americans’ civil rights, Martin Luther King Jr., espoused a philosophy of nonviolence, the military has fought in support of his ideals of peace and freedom at home and abroad, she said.

“The men and women of the United States military remain on the vanguard of our nation’s ongoing effort to ensure that equality of opportunity,” she said. “You are all part of a proud tradition, a part of American history.”

Army Col. Miciotto Johnson, who is AfricanAmerican, said he attends Fort Leavenworth’s Black History Month luncheon each year in order to reflect on his predecessors in the military who helped break down civil-rights barriers.

“It was all about proving that we were good enough to serve shoulderto-shoulder to our brother Americans,” Johnson said.

Johnson said his greatuncle had told him of the segregation he experienced in the Army during the 1940s, and he was grateful for the efforts of black soldiers who showed they deserved to be considered equals.

Without their sacrifices, he said, he would not have been able to ascend to an officer’s rank.

Also in her address, Gray-Little talked about her close military connections: her husband served in the Marines, her brother in the Air Force and her daughter in the Navy. She admitted to the room full of Army officers, though, that she lacked such a close connection to their branch of the service.

“There is still hope, though,” Gray-Little said to laughter in the room. “I have a grandson.”

ports the switch.

But employee groups say changing the system will end up costing the state more in the long run, fails to address the unfunded liability within KPERS and will leave retirees with inadequate benefits.

In addition, the League of Kansas Municipalities told the Senate committee that its segment of the KPERS system was in relatively good financial shape. “There is no urgency to make any changes to the local government KPERS group,” Sandy Jacquot, general counsel for LKM said.

State Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, who produced a KPERS study commission report that calls for the 401(k)-style plan, said revamping the system was necessary to respond to the “changing

demographics of the Kansas workforce.” He added, “People change jobs frequently. We have a retirement system now that is sufficiently inflexible.”

But Sen. Laura Kelly, DTopeka, said the proposed change will have negative results. “We will have a bunch of poor, old Kansans,” Kelly said.

The committee made a procedural move that will bring up a new bill and continue the debate. “The process is quite a ways from getting there,” said Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton.

Earlier in the day, petitions signed by more than 6,400 school employees in Johnson County protesting the proposed KPERS change were delivered to Brownback’s office.

Wichita grocer faces sentencing for role in food stamp scam

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

WICHITA — The owner of a Kansas grocery store is pleading with a federal judge to spare him from prison for his role in a food stamp scam targeting poor people willing to sell their government benefits for cash.

“I have wronged myself and I have been audacious in my ignorance which lead to tremendous tribulations,” Ajami Al-Maleki wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten seeking leniency.

The letter from Al-Maleki, the owner of Kansas Food Market, was included as part of a filing Wednesday by his defense attorney, Kurt Kerns, seeking a probationary sentence below the federal sentencing guidelines. Kerns portrayed the Iraqi immigrant as a devoted father of five who came to this country in 1996 and worked hard until he saved enough to open his Wichita grocery store in 2009.

The filing came just days before Al-Maleki’s scheduled sentencing Monday on charges of conspiracy, wire fraud and food stamp fraud. On Thursday, prosecutors asked the court for a continuance to respond to the defense filing, saying it contained multiple issues and factual assertions not

previously known to the government.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brent Anderson said in an email Thursday that the government requested additional time because it appears the defense filing was incomplete and possibly inaccurate.

“We understand why Mr. Al-Maleki would attempt to obscure and minimize his role in the crimes to which he has pled guilty, but we hope our written response and arguments in court will present the full picture of Mr. Al-Maleki’s defrauding of the food stamp program.”

In his plea agreement, Al-Maleki admitted that between July and December of 2010, he entered into an agreement with Wally Mikhael Gaggo and others to defraud the Department of Agriculture by giving cash to recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, commonly known as food stamps.

Prosecutors said two small stores — the Kansas Food Market and the Alnoor Grocery and Biryani House — typically paid people 50 to 60 cents on the dollar for the value of the food stamps and pocketed the difference. Gaggo, the runner who was charged in both indictments, testified on behalf of the government and received probation at

his sentencing last month.

Kerns downplayed in his filing his client’s part in the food stamp scheme, calling Al-Maleki a “conduit” for the fraud rather than a leader of the conspiracy.

Kerns tried to shift most of the blame to Gaggo, whom he contends gave Al-Maleki the idea to trade cash for food stamps.

In bolstering that argument, the defense cited testimony at a co-defendant’s trial in which Gaggo admitted he defrauded the food stamp program with another Wichita grocery store at least a year before doing business with AlMaleki.

In that testimony, Gaggo described his role as “the person in charge of all the food stamp fraud in Wichita. I was the one — I was the main guy. I was the one to go after people and buy the food stamp card and go after them over 25 location and I have five people work for me to collect the food stamp and give it to me and ask to take them to the store.”

Two indictments filed last year accuse 13 people in a scheme that defrauded the government out of more than $580,000. The two food stamp-related indictments came after months of investigations involving undercover informants, surveillance of the stores and computerized detection systems.

BRIEFLY House OKs bipartisan redistricting bill TOPEKA (AP) — Power in the Kansas House is likely to shift next year from rural parts of the state to the Kansas City area after members overwhelmingly approved a bipartisan bill Thursday for redrawing their districts.

The House’s 109-14 vote means the new district lines specified by the bill are likely to become law, starting with this year’s elections. The bill goes next to the Senate, but its approval is considered a formality because, by tradition, neither chamber alters the other’s plan for redrawing members’ districts.

The bill had the support of House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican, and Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat. The GOP could have used its 92-33 majority to push through a more partisan measure, but both O’Neal and Davis said they had wanted to avoid the acrimony, though they acknowledged they couldn’t avoid hard feelings completely.

LAWRENCE CITY EMPLOYEE TOMMY SUTTON installs the last of the city’s new energy-efficient LED traffic lights Thursday at Ninth and Massachusetts streets. The city expects to save $100,000 a year with the switch from incandescent bulbs.

Lawrence leaders say changing to LED traffic lights a bright idea, money saver

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Consider it a green light for energy savings.

A handful of city officials on Thursday celebrated briefly at Ninth and Massachusetts as crews completed a multiyear project to replace all incandescent traffic signal bulbs with energy-efficient LED lights.

City Engineer Shoeb Uddin estimates the swapping of more than 3,000 traffic signal bulbs

The new LED bulbs are guaranteed to last for at least five years, and the company pays to replace the bulbs if they fail before then. A traditional incandescent traffic signal bulb lasts about a year. The city has traded out about 3,000 incandescent traffic bulbs for the more energy-efficient LEDs. with the new LED bulbs will save the city more than $100,000 a year on electricity costs.

“We think it is a big deal worthy of some celebration,” said Ud-

din, who was on hand to watch the last bulb be put in place at Ninth and Massachusetts.

The city began replacing the bulbs in the mid-1990s, and it thinks

it was the first city in the state to begin doing so. The city, however, took several years to complete the project because it bought bulbs only as funding became available.

The new LED bulbs cost about $85 compared with about $5 for an incandescent bulb.

But the energy savings on the bulbs can approach 90 percent, and Uddin estimates the energy savings pay for the Please see LIGHTS, page 4A

around to lead us through the transition process,” Doll said. “That was an effort we worked very, very hard on. And she led the effort districtwide and obviously led the effort at Southwest.”

During Bransky’s time at Southwest, the school has earned a Governor’s Achievement Award as a top-performing school and was named an exemplary middle school by the Kansas Association of Middle School Administrators.

“She has exceptional leadership and communication skills with the public,” Doll said. “She has been an exceptional administrator.”

Berard has been at Free State High School since 1997. Before that he was a teacher, federal programs project director and assistant principal in the Turner school district in Kansas City, Kan. At Free State, Berard focused on special education, technology and discipline.

“He does so many things behind the scenes that makes things work at Free State,” Doll said.

Arevalo also has had a long history with the school district. In 1983 he was hired as principal of Centennial School, an elementary that is now closed, and became principal at Hillcrest School in 1991. In 2001, Arevalo was named director of human resources with oversight of classified personnel. In 2010 he assumed responsibility for certified employees as well. Human resources oversees the payroll and benefits for 1,800 employees.

“He never complains, always takes on whatever we give him and completes it to the absolute best of his ability,” Doll said.

The district hopes to find replacements for each position before the school year ends.

bulb after about 2.5 years.

The bulbs are guaranteed to last for at least five years, and the company pays to replace the bulbs if they fail before then. A traditional incandescent traffic signal bulb lasts about a year, said Tommy Sutton, a senior traffic technician who replaces many of the city’s traffic signal bulbs.

Sutton said the bulbs also will save the city significant amounts of money in overtime because the city currently has a policy to replace a red bulb as soon as the city becomes aware that it has burnt out. That means in the middle of the night or on holidays. Fewer burnouts should result in less overtime charges for the city.

But Sutton said there was something else that convinced him the new bulbs were going to be a money saver. Westar Energy had to install new digital meters at each of the traffic signals.

“With the old bulbs, you could watch that meter spin just like at your house,” Sutton said.

“With the new bulbs, Westar thought their meters were broken because they didn’t hardly move.”

HOW TO HELP

kbritt@ljworld.com

The medical bills are mounting for an insured Olathe couple whose son had open heart surgery last summer.

Kevin and Sheri Nichols’ son Ethan was diagnosed with a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot one day after he was born on Oct. 27, 2010.

For eight months, he went to a cardiologist every three weeks to have his heart tested. Those tests cost about $500 apiece.

Then he had surgery in June followed by a twoand-a-half week stay in Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. The cost for the surgery and hospital stay alone was about $500,000.

While the couple has health insurance through Kevin’s employer, it hasn’t paid for everything.

“The cost of the copayments for office vis-

its alone have added up,” Sheri Nichols said.

Recently, the Nichols family learned that they would receive some financial relief: a $6,000 check from the Lawrence-based Cooper’s Cause Foundation.

“I just started crying because it was such a relief,” she said. “It was just so much stress taken off our shoulders. It takes care of quite a few of our bills and we don’t have to worry about making those payments each month now.”

Lawrence residents Terry and Kristi Keefer established the foundation in 2008, a year after their son, Cooper, was born with multiple heart defects. Cooper has had four surgeries in his 4-year-old lifetime, and now mom said he’s doing amazingly well.

Kristi Keefer said they

Cooper’s Cause Foundation helps families with pediatric heart patients.

It is named after Cooper Keefer, of Lawrence, who was born with multiple heart defects in 2007.

Donations may be sent to Cooper’s Cause Foundation, P.O. Box 303, Lawrence, KS 66044.

Three fundraising events are planned:

April 29 — bowl-athon.

July 27 — golf tournament.

Sept. 22 — 5K run and one-mile walk.

For more information, visit foundation’s website at cooperscause.org. started the foundation to help families that have health insurance but don’t qualify for low-income funding. She said the Lawrence community helped them and they wanted to pay it forward.

“After our son’s second surgery, things did not go well at all, and we had expenses and medical bills that our health insurance didn’t cover,” she said. “He was on life support for quite a while, and when we got out of the hospital, the community had some fundraisers for us that we never expected people to do, and they almost completely eliminated our medical expenses at that time.”

The foundation has provided $27,000 in funding to families with pediatric heart patients.

The Nicholses will receive the money Saturday morning during a presentation at Central National Bank on Nieder Road.

Ethan’s parents said he will need another surgery someday depending on how his heart develops; it could be in a few years or when he’s adult. But today he’s doing well with sixmonth visits to the doctor

and no physical limitations.

“He’s crawling all over the place and standing and I don’t think he’s too far from walking,” his mom said.

LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• Douglas County prosecutors dismissed charges against a 23-year-old Lawrence man Thursday who was accused of committing a string of auto burglaries in January.

Cheryl Wright, a spokeswoman for the Douglas County District Attorney’s office, said prosecutors have not able to locate a victim in the case against Cordero P. Riley. Riley was charged with two counts of felony motor vehicle burglary and two misdemeanors after he was arrested by Lawrence police early on Jan. 5. Several cars at an apartment complex in the 1700 block of West 24th Street were entered or damaged, police said. Wright said the case was dismissed without prejudice, so prosecutors would be able to refile it later.

Last November prosecutors also dropped an aggravated robbery case against Riley after he was accused of an armed robbery last July at a Lawrence Kwik Shop, 845 Miss. Prosecutors did not give a reason at the time why the robbery case was dismissed.

• Lawrence police have arrested a second suspect, a 23-year-old Ottawa man, who is charged in connection with a Jan. 10 robbery at a Lawrence apartment.

According to Douglas County Jail records, prosecutors have charged Dallas Jay Ambler with one count of aggravated robbery, three counts of robbery and four counts of kidnapping. A Lawrence police detective arrested Ambler about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Another defendant, Colby Blaine Simon, 19, of Ottawa, last week was ordered to go to trial on March 28 on the same charges in the case after four victims testified that Simon and three other men they did not know robbed them of several items, including marijuana.

One of the victims said two of the suspects hit and kicked him as they ordered him to open a safe and give them marijuana. The apartment was in the 1700 block of West 19th Street just east of 19th and Iowa streets.

Simon was arrested in Ottawa hours after the incident, and, according to testimony in the case, an investigator for Simon’s defense attorney has told the victims the three other suspects might have threatened Simon into leading them to the apartment that night. A judge set Ambler’s bond at $50,000 on Thursday.

• Douglas County prosecutors Thursday charged a 23-year-old Lawrence man with eluding police while driving recklessly during an incident reported Wednesday afternoon.

Justin W. Kraai is accused of fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, obstruction, misdemeanor failing to report an accident involving

unattended property, driving on a suspended license, possession of drug paraphernalia and two traffic infractions.

According to Lawrence police records, he attempted to elude an officer at 2 p.m.

Wednesday in the 2200 block of Vermont Street. He was later arrested in the 1800 block of Maple Drive.

A judge set his bond Thursday afternoon at $15,000. He was also arrested on a Sedgwick County warrant, according to jail records.

FIRE CALL A chimney fire early Thursday damaged a house in northwest Lawrence and has displaced two residents there, a Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical spokeswoman said.

Division Chief Eve Tolefree said firefighters were called at 12:23 a.m. to the 3100 block of Longhorn Drive about smoke coming from the chimney, and crews discovered fire in a wall around the fireplace. Crews extinguished the fire and declared it under control at 12:56 a.m.

“There were no injuries of fire department personnel and both occupants evacuated the structure prior to fire department’s arrival,” Tolefree said. “The American Red Cross is currently assisting the displaced occupants.”

Jane Blocher, executive director of the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross, said the Red Cross provided overnight lodging for the residents and their dog.

Investigators determined the fire was an accident after the fire breached through the chimney flue and into the interior walls.

Damage is estimated at $50,000. According to Douglas County records, the house is valued at $178,500.

It is northwest of Trail Road and Kasold Drive.

INJURY ACCIDENT A 78-year-old Tonganoxie man was injured Wednesday in a one-vehicle accident about three miles north of Basehor, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The accident report said Darrell Gene Stubenrauch was driving his 2007 Chevrolet pickup truck west on Fairmount Road just west of 163rd Street when for an unknown reason the vehicle left the road to the right.

He then veered back onto the road and later struck a fence.

Authorities said the crash occurred at 10:45 a.m.

Wednesday. Stubenrauch, who was not wearing a seat belt, was taken to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. A hospital spokesman said Thursday information about Stubenrauch’s condition was not available because of the hospital’s patient privacy policy.

Trinity In-Home Care kicks up heels with benefit

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Trinity In-Home Care is having its fourth annual Dancing through the Decades benefit Saturday at Abe & Jake’s Landing.

The benefit will help low-income Douglas County residents access inhome services such as meal preparation, housekeeping, personal care and caregiver relief. It also will help provide free child care services for the homeless at its drop-in child care center.

Kelly Evans, executive director, said in-home services typically cost about $20 per hour, but Trinity is able to provide services based on a person’s ability to pay because of community donations. She said Trinity’s fees range from $10 to $18 per hour, and 74 percent of their private pay clients pay a rate less than Trinity’s cost to provide the service. Also, the need for Trinity’s services continues to grow. In 2005, it provided 5,000 hours of support each month, and today it provides close to 15,000 hours.

Meanwhile, the nonprofit agency is dealing with payment and data entry changes in the Medicaid system. Medicaid funding accounts for 75 percent of its $2 million budget. In November, there was a restructuring in reimbursement for its employees, which resulted in a cut of about $7,000.

In January, Trinity was required to file Medicaid claims through a new electronic system.

“It’s a little hard to know about the financial impact because they implemented so many changes at once,” she said.

“We’re still adjusting.”

The agency also is concerned about changes in United Way of Douglas County funding because of

its new allocation system.

Trinity expects to hear this spring about funding for the current year; it typically receives about $55,000.

“It’s very uncertain,” Evans said of its funding, which is why Trinity continues to have community fundraisers to help support its mission of helping residents remain independent.

Last year’s dance benefit raised $6,500, and the agency hopes to raise $10,000 this year.

The event will be from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and will feature a silent auction and music hits from the past eight decades:

7-8 p.m.,’30s and ’40s

8-9 p.m., ’50s and ’60s

9-10 p.m., ’70s and ’80s

10-11 p.m., ’90s through today Tickets are $20 if purchased before Saturday and then $25 at the door. To purchase tickets, call 8423159 or visit www.tihc.org.

Hearing on abortion bill gets testy

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Temperatures rose Thursday during a committee hearing on a bill to add further restrictions on abortions.

Kari Ann Rinker, state coordinator of the Kansas chapter of the National Organization for Women, called the bill a waste of taxpayers’ time and money.

She told the House Federal and State Affairs Committee she knew she wouldn’t change anyone’s mind and that the committee should just go ahead approve the bill.

“The committee process is irrelevant,” Rinker said. She took out an ink

Teacher-rating measure removed from bill ———

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED

Evaluations would be posted online under Brownback proposal TOPEKA (AP) — A proposal from Gov. Sam Brownback to post teacher evaluations on school district websites was removed Thursday from a House education bill after it sparked outrage.

The action from House Education Committee Chairman Clay Aurand was a sign that he didn’t think the measure had much chance of staying in the bill anyway.

“There are bits and pieces I like,” Aurand, RBelleville, told The Topeka Capital Journal after a committee hearing on the bill, which also would rewrite the funding formula,

giving local districts more authority and responsibility for raising education dollars locally through property taxes.

He said previously the teacher evaluation proposal would “create more problems than it solves.”

Under the proposal, educators would be rated as highly effective, effective, progressing or ineffective. The formula for the rankings would be 50 percent on growth in student achievement, 40 percent on input from supervisors, peers, parents and students and 10 percent on the teachers’ contributions to the profession.

The State Board of Education would define the exact criteria.

Teachers rated ineffective two years in a row would not be allowed to teach and schools could fire them if professional development opportunities had been provided.

The proposal would also offer $5,000 bonuses for some highly effective teachers.

Mark Desetti, who represents the Kansas National Education Association, said the Brownback plan could damage collegiality among teachers by placing each in competition for the bonuses

reserved for highly rated teachers.

Jon Hummel, the governor’s director of operations, said that discussion about added accountability was bound to “cause those who work within the system some anxiety.” But he said there is an up side.

“Wouldn’t it be helpful to know definitively who our best teachers are so they can be recognized?”

Hummel asked. “Does the state have an obligation to students and teachers to identify and provide assistance to teachers who may be struggling? Should performance be a factor in personnel decisions? Yes.”

Leaving ‘No Child’ law: Obama lets 10 states flee

By Ben Feller and Kimberly Hefling Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It could be the beginning of the end for No Child Left Behind.

The goal was lofty: Get all children up to par in math and reading by 2014.

But the nation isn’t getting there, and now some states are getting out.

In a sign of what’s to come, President Barack Obama on Thursday freed 10 states from some of the landmark law’s toughest requirements. Those states, which had to com-

mit to their own, federally approved plans, will now be free, for example, to judge students with methods other than test scores.

They also will be able to factor in subjects beyond reading and math.

“We can combine greater freedom with greater accountability,” Obama said from the White House. Plenty more states are bound to take him up on the offer.

While many educators and many governors celebrated, congressional Republicans accused Obama of executive overreach, and education and civil

rights groups questioned if schools would be getting a pass on aggressively helping poor and minority children — the kids the 2002 law was primarily designed to help.

The first 10 states to be declared free from the education law are Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Tennessee. The only state that applied for the flexibility and did not get it, New Mexico, is working with the administration to get approval.

Twenty-eight other

states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have signaled that they, too, plan to flee the law in favor of their own plans.

The government’s action on Thursday was a tacit acknowledgement that the law’s main goal, getting all students up to speed in reading and math by 2014, is not within reach.

The states excused from following the law no longer have to meet that deadline. Instead, they had to put forward plans showing they will prepare children for college and careers, set new targets

$25B foreclosure abuse settlement reached

By Derek Kravitz Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A landmark $25 billion settlement with the nation’s top mortgage lenders was hailed by government officials Thursday as longoverdue relief for victims of foreclosure abuses.

But consumer advocates countered that far too few people will benefit.

The deal will reduce loans for only a fraction of those Americans who owe more than their homes are worth. It will also send checks to others who were improperly foreclosed upon. But the amounts are modest.

It’s unclear how much the deal will help struggling homeowners keep their homes or benefit those who have already lost theirs.

About 11 million households are underwater, meaning they owe more than their homes are worth.

The settlement would help 1 million of them.

“The total number of dollars is still small compared to the value of the mortgages that are un-

BRIEFLY Pentagon is easing women’s job limits WASHINGTON — New orders from the Pentagon: The military on Thursday formally opened thousands of jobs to women in units that are closer to the front lines than ever before, reflecting what’s already been going on as female American soldiers fight and die next to their male comrades.

The new rules, affecting thousands of jobs, will break down more of the official barriers that have restricted the military positions women can take. They’re being sent to Congress, and if lawmakers take no action after 30 work days the policy will take effect.

The changes still aren’t coming fast enough for some in Congress or the military. They noted that the rules still ban women from serving as infantry, armor and special operations forces, which are considered the most dangerous combat jobs.

Kansas to receive $50M from deal TOPEKA — Attorney General Derek Schmidt says Kansas residents will share about $50 million of a $25 billion settlement reached between the federal government, states and several mortgage lenders.

The deal announced Thursday is the largest industry settlement since the 1998 multistate tobacco settlement.

Schmidt said the state’s share of the settlement would be direct payments to derwater,” said Richard Green, director of the University of Southern California’s Lusk Center for Real Estate.

Federal and state officials announced that 49 states joined the settlement with five of the nation’s biggest lenders. Oklahoma struck a separate deal with the five banks. Government officials are still negotiating with 14 other lenders to join.

The bulk of the money will go to California and Florida, two of the states

some homeowners who lost their homes to foreclosure.

Under the agreement, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Ally Financial will reduce loans for about 1 million households. They will also send checks of $2,000 to about 750,000 Americans, including about 4,000 Kansas residents, who were improperly foreclosed upon.

The banks will have three years to fulfill the terms of the deal. hardest hit by the housing crisis and the ones with the most underwater homeowners. The two states stand to receive roughly 75 percent of the settlement funds.

Of the five major lenders, Bank of America will pay the most to borrowers: nearly $8.6 billion.

Wells Fargo will pay about $4.3 billion, JPMorgan Chase roughly $4.2 billion, Citigroup about $1.8 billion and Ally Financial $200 million. The banks will also pay state

and federal governments about $5.5 billion.

The settlement ends a painful chapter of the financial crisis, when home values sank and millions edged toward foreclosure.

Many companies processed foreclosures without verifying documents.

Some employees signed papers they hadn’t read or used fake signatures to speed foreclosures — an action known as robosigning.

President Barack Obama praised the settlement, saying it will “speed relief to the hardest-hit homeowners, end some of the most abusive practices of the mortgage industry and begin to turn the page on an era of recklessness that has left so much damage in its wake.”

The deal requires the banks to reduce loans for about 1 million households that are at risk of foreclosure. The lenders will also send $2,000 each to about 750,000 Americans who were improperly foreclosed upon from 2008 through 2011. The banks will have three years to fulfill terms of the deal.

LONDON — Researchers have encouraging news for women who find themselves in a very frightening situation: having cancer while pregnant.

Studies suggest that these women can be treated almost the same as other cancer patients are, with minimal risk to the fetus.

Only about 1 in 1,000 pregnant women face this dilemma, but doctors fear that more will because the risk of cancer rises with age, and more women are delaying having children until they’re older.

Doctors have long worried about how to balance treating a pregnant woman with cancer and the need to protect her fetus from the effects of toxic cancer drugs and radiation treatments, and whether it is safe to continue a pregnancy in certain situations.

Greek deal to cut spending does not end debt drama

By David McHugh Associated Press

FRANKFURT, GERMANY — More than two years after it came clean about its addiction to debt, Greece may finally have begun its long and painful road to recovery.

Greece’s fractious political leaders struck a deal Thursday to make deep cuts in government jobs and spending to help save the country from a default that could shock the world financial system.

The deal, under negotiation since July, is one of two critical steps Greece must take to receive a euro130 billion ($170 billion) bailout from other countries in Europe and around the globe.

It was announced by Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos’ office and will be scrutinized during talks in Brussels between finance ministers from the 17 countries that use the euro.

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said no final agreement unleashing the bailout money would be reached Thursday. He said more work had to be done to fulfill the conditions for a bailout.

for improving achievement among all students, reward the best performing schools and focus help on the ones doing the worst.

Obama said he was acting because Congress had failed to update the law despite widespread agreement it needed to be fixed.

“We’ve offered every state the same deal,” Obama said. “If you’re willing to set higher, more honest standards than the ones that were set by No Child Left Behind, then we’re going to give you the flexibility to meet those standards.”

European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, Greece is close to an agreement with private investors who hold nearly two-thirds of its debt to sharply reduce the country’s borrowing costs.

Greece needs the bailout

by March 20 so it will have enough money to redeem euro14.5 billion worth of bonds coming due. If it doesn’t make that payment, it will be in default. Financial analysts fear that could set off a chain reaction similar to the financial meltdown triggered by the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers in the fall of 2008.

The bailout will ease some of the uncertainty that has unsettled Europe and the world financial system for more than two years, but it will not bring down the curtain on Greece’s debt drama.

Greece remains in a deep recession. Unemployment is 20.9 percent after the economy’s fifth straight year of decline.

Its government finances and its economy are being dragged down by costly political patronage, tax evasion and special protections for some favored trades.

Shared burden Using federal money to subsidize individual higher-education savings accounts is a plan worth considering.

W

ith federal and state aid to colleges and universities declining each year and the schools passing some of their financial burden to students and families in the form of higher tuition, attention needs to be focused on ways to keep higher education affordable.

President Barack Obama said he is considering new policies designed to keep college costs down. He hasn’t made these plans public yet, but during a recent speech at the University of Michigan he put higher education on notice: “You can’t assume that you’ll just jack up tuition every single year. If you can’t stop tuition from going up, then the funding you get from taxpayers each year will go down.”

One news report said that, among other ideas, Obama wants to increase funding for federal Perkins loans to $8 billion from the current $1 billion. The goal, it seems, is to make more money available for students.

As at other universities, tuition at Kansas University continues to increase. KU Provost Jeff Vitter has said the university is working on ways to keep a college education affordable. The university is pursuing agreements with community colleges seeking better ways to help people transition from two-year schools (with much lower tuition costs) to KU. That’s a good effort as KU works to improve its retention and graduation rates, but the problem of high tuition at KU persists.

Meanwhile, two KU social welfare professors are researching options that may give everyone a stake in the tuition affordability game: publicly subsidized student savings accounts.

William Elliott III and Deborah Adams recommend taking $3 billion from the Perkins program and using it to establish a program where public funds would be used to match money contributed by families, charities and organizations for an individual child’s account.

Elliott and Adams noted that the savings plans could help alleviate the current problem of student loan debt while complementing Obama’s goals of making higher education more financially accessible.

Their idea calls for students and families to share higher education costs with government and the schools. Most of the tuition burden would continue to fall on the student, but the student would also get the benefit of matching funds, similar to a company helping employees save for retirement though 401(k) plans. Various university and government programs, such as 529 plans, already offer tax benefits to families who establish education savings accounts. Perhaps such plans could serve as the basis for a government matching program.

The idea floated by the two professors could be a good private-government partnership that encourages families to plan ahead for higher education costs.

It’s a plan that deserves a look by government and university officials.

U.S. should foster Egypt democracy WASHINGTON — What kind of democratic revolution in Egypt is it that brings charges against 19 American NGO workers who have been advocating democracy? The answer is that it’s a confused revolution, looking for people to blame for its troubles.

The U.S. should stifle its anger for now — and avoid a hasty cutoff of aid that would make a bad situation worse.

The Egyptian revolution, a year on, is struggling to establish a government amid chaos.

The spontaneous, leaderless uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak has given way, all too predictably, to a disorderly muddle in which anarchic gangs roam the streets, ideologically driven parties are dominant and moderate voices are demoralized.

Fayza Abul Naga, the Egyptian minister who launched the witch hunt against the NGOs, warned darkly of the “government’s seriousness about discovering some of these groups’ plans to destabilize Egypt.”

If you’ve read Crane Brinton’s “The Anatomy of Revolution,” you know what could be coming next: widening chaos and economic trauma, a rising chorus of blame against foreign manipulators — followed by the strong leader, the man or mullah on horseback, who promises to restore order, security and national purpose.

But there’s another possibility, which is that the young activists who made the revo-

In this evolving situation, the U.S. would make a mistake drawing battle lines too early — say, by announcing a cutoff in aid to the Egyptian military and civilian government…” lution will continue to push for the freedom, dignity and social justice for which they risked their lives a year ago.

In this evolving situation, the U.S. would make a mistake drawing battle lines too early — say, by announcing a cutoff in aid to the Egyptian military and civilian government in retaliation for the charges against the American NGO workers. We would make America appear to be the foreign enemy, which we’re not.

Let’s step back from the chaos in Cairo to make a few simple observations: l First, the NGO activists weren’t doing anything sinister. I’ve been reading regular reports from the National Democratic Institute activ-

ists in Cairo over the past year, and they’re championing the new Egypt, not trying to subvert it. Their goal is to help train Egyptians in the skills they’ll need to make democracy and openness work; the same holds for the other three U.S. groups whose members have been charged: the International Republican Institute, Freedom House and the International Center for Journalists. If they failed to file all the necessary permissions in this paperworkmad society, that should be fixed; but if supporting democracy has become a crime in Egypt, that’s sad. l Second, despite the benign mission of the NGOs, it’s understandable why some Egyptians are nervous. This is a country trying to free itself from generations of subservience and manipulation by foreign powers, often led by the U.S. If they’re paranoid about “foreign hands” meddling in their affairs, they have reason to be. And this isn’t some weirdo Third World anxiety. Imagine the reaction if the French government was discovered to be quietly opening offices across the U.S. for an “Endowment for Liberty, Equality and Fraternity” to advance Gallic values; Americans would not be amused. l Third, my bet is still on the young people of Egypt.

Whether they’re in secular groups or the Muslim Brotherhood, they are the voices for change. They share a common commitment to

empower citizens, which you can recall going back to the foundation stones — Twitter postings using the hashtag #Jan25, or the Facebook site “We are all Khaled Said.” These networks are dispersed, and they don’t all speak with one voice. But they have the tools for building a new Egypt in which the government and army will be accountable to the people.

Here’s what does worry me, as I look at events in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood, having received strong backing in the parliamentary elections, is now poised to govern. This is a group that proclaims “Islam is the answer.” But is it open to other answers, from believers and nonbelievers alike? That’s the biggest question for the new Egypt, and it’s why I hope the Muslim Brotherhood will join in calls for the release of the NGO workers.

Turkey is often cited as a model for democratic political reform in Egypt, and so it is — up to a point. But if I thought that the new Egyptian government was going to reduce the independence of the media, the courts and the military, in the same way the Turkish government has done over the past several years, then I would get nervous. Egyptian democracy is a work in progress, and the Brotherhood and everyone else should keep moving toward more freedom, not less.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 10, 1912: YEARS “The program for AGO the monthly meetIN 1912 ing of the Lawrence Commercial club to be held on next Tuesday night includes a varied amount of business … The matter of the general needs of the city in the way of fire protection is to be one of the principal subjects up for discussion. ...

This is an old and often discussed subject in Lawrence and no doubt the outcome of Tuesday night’s meeting will be closely watched.”

Poor evaluation

meling in the J-W. You can always find an anonymous (a favorite Simons’ tactic) someone whose nose is bent out of shape, which is why I find Simons’ assessment of faculty/staff morale less than credible.

I prefer Gene Budig’s comments in the same J-W issue of Feb. 4: “Some of the nation’s greatest schools, such as Ohio State and Kansas University, pride themselves in accepting students from a wide range of backgrounds. …They provide a superb education, and their reputations are second to none” — except in the editor’s office.

Dennis M. Dailey, Lawrence

To the editor: So Brownback wants to evaluate teachers based on a one-shot test, among other things, and post the evaluation on the Internet. The Kansas State Department of Education is already working on an evaluation system for educators in Kansas. KEEP, or Kansas Educator Evaluation Protocol, is being tested in 17 school districts in Kansas. This program has been developed with the input of teachers. The proposal

by Brownback doesn’t look like KEEP at all. We should let people who know education best develop the proper evaluation system for Kansas teachers.

Condemn sin

Pummeling KU

I do not condemn homosexuality because I don’t like it. But I do point out that the Bible condemns it. Nor do I think it is my place to confront the “gay community,” because I have my own sins.

But I will not agree that, just because I have my own sins, that the sins of others are not wrong. We should condemn sin, our own as well as that of others, not shrug our shoulders and say, “Oh, well …”

Todd Wilson, Lawrence

Garden caution To the editor: While fully supporting the idea of city-owned gardens (Journal-World., Feb. 7), I must offer some caution on the implementation of this worthwhile scheme. Cities are the sites of nucleated activities, many of which result and have resulted in high depositions of contaminants, including a host of heavy metals that are incorporated in plant reproductive parts (the parts that we eat).

These chemicals are not evenly distributed over the urban area. Therefore, one must conduct a land use historical study to see what might be deposited on site, a quantitative chemical analysis of the soil within the rooting zone and an assessment of which crops would be affected by the uptake of the demonstrated pollutants. We don’t want to poison our children for a good idea poorly applied.

William I. Woods, Lawrence

Musical delight To the editor: I just returned from the choral concert by local middle and high school students and it’s going to take a while for me to come down from the clouds. Extraordinary.

I’ve always considered the music programs in the Lawrence schools to be outstanding, ever since attending programs my children participated in and continuing with my grandchildren, but I never dreamed I would see such a great program.

No doubt the gracious and talented help of the KU conductor had much to do with it, but it’s also a function of the wonderful group of dedicated music directors at the various schools, their work with their individual choral group and their cooperation with each other. And, yes indeed, those young women and men were great! Somebody please tell Gov. Brownback the arts are alive and well here and deserve a lot more support from him.

David Dinneen, Lawrence

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Slump busted

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Jeremy Case digs aide gig Had this been Jeremy Case’s senior year, he probably would be averaging at least 20 minutes a game as the Kansas University basketball team’s third guard.

In his day, he warmed the bench, but expresses no regrets.

The national-championship ring he won in 2008 comes in handy.

Case is an assistant basketball coach at Southeast Missouri State in Cape Girardeau, Mo., working under head coach Dickey Nutt.

“Yeah, oh yeah, I wear the ring,” Case said in a telephone interview. “On a home visit, I’ll wear it. If I go see a player play, I’ll wear it. It’s a great conversation piece. A lot of guys see it and ask me about it.”

Does he let the recruits try it on?

“No,” Case said. “They can’t do that.”

But they can ask away about his alma mater. He’s always happy to discuss KU, which he watches play on TV when his schedule allows.

“I don’t think they’re as talented as they have been in the past, but they work hard, they play hard, and coach Self is doing a great job,” Case said. “I can tell they’re starting to do exactly what he wants them to do.”

After graduating from KU and exhausting his playing eligibility as a fifth-year senior, Case entertained thoughts of playing professionally in Europe, where in the right league he could have been a scoring sensation drawing big paychecks.

He sought advice from the wisest man he knows, his father, Win Case. Win won two NAIA national championships at Oklahoma City University and now is an assistant coach at Middle Tennessee State. Win told him, “If this is what you want to do, you better get started.”

Jeremy worked one season as a graduate assistant for Self and asked him to call Nutt on his behalf, when Nutt inherited a program on NCAA probation and coming off a 3-27 record. Nutt hired Case to join in him in a rebuilding project that in its third year already has reversed the Redhawks’ fortunes. SEMO is 13-11 overall, 8-4 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Redhawks had a chance to make national news in a road game against undefeated, ninth-ranked Murray State recently, but couldn’t hang onto a halftime lead.

All the lessons the second-generation coach Case learned from his father and his college coach — teammates at Oklahoma State, where Nutt had just finished playing — couldn’t prepare him for the extent of renovation needed in Cape Girardeau.

“The first year was miserable,” Jeremy said of a 7-23 season in 2009-2010. “To go from one end of the spectrum to the other was really an eye-opener. Coach Nutt did a great job of keeping the players going. Every day he walks in he’s got a pep in his step, and that rubs off on our guys. He knows what he’s doing.”

Ten games into Nutt’s second season, the Redhawks’ losing streak reached 18, making Nutt, with the help of Case, 7-33 in his first 40 games, 23-23 in the next 46.

KANSAS’ CONNOR TEAHAN, CENTER, FINDS HIS PATH BLOCKED by Baylor’s Cory Jefferson (34) and Anthony Jones. After struggling from three-point range, Teahan is 4-for-5 from long distance in his last two games, including 2-for-3 against the Bears on Wednesday in Waco, Texas.

Kansas’ Teahan regains trey form

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior guard Conner Teahan, who has made four of his last five three-pointers over the last two games, appears to have shot his way out of a prolonged slump.

“I knew it was a matter of time before they started dropping. I needed to stay with it and make some minor adjustments,” said Teahan, 6-foot-6, 212 pounds, out of Kansas City Rockhurst High.

He hit two of three threes and scored eight points in

Wednesday’s 68-54 victory at Baylor after going 2-for-2 from three in Saturday’s 74-71 loss at Missouri.

The accurate marksmanship followed an eight-game stretch in which he hit seven of 32 treys.

“Whenever I’m open and able to get a look, I’m going to take it,” Teahan said of the three. “I have to hit shots, period. I’m not going to put a number on it (per game). I feel in situations where our team is struggling is when I need to come in and definitely kind of turn it around. I put that responsibility on myself

being the senior. It’s the same with Tyshawn (Taylor, senior point guard). That’s the only time I feel I’m needed necessarily to make a shot.”

Teahan was the only Jayhawk reserve to score a point against the Bears. However, Kevin Young had three assists, three rebounds and a steal in 10 minutes and Justin Wesley two rebounds and a steal in nine minutes.

“Kevin made some great passes. Justin played well.

Kevin played well. Overall, we were able to execute,” Teahan said of the reserves.

The Jayhawks showed a lot

in battling back from an early 19-9 deficit.

“We knew if we could come out and punch ’em in the mouth first, who knows what would happen?” Teahan said.

“They got us first, to be honest with you. It was nice to see we were able to stay with it. Early in the year, we might not have been able to do that. We were able to bounce back.”

The Jayhawks were motivated following the loss to MU. “We haven’t lost two straight games in 200-something games,” Teahan said.

KU football still working on ’12 class

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Saturday marks the first of a handful of “junior days” for Kansas University’s football program this offseason.

However, as the program’s recruiting attention starts to turn toward the Class of

2013, there remains some work to be done in the Class of 2012, most of which officially signed with the Jayhawks on Feb. 1.

One KU target who remains unsigned is Tevin Shaw, a senior running back from Piscataway (N.J.) High, who will make his official

visit to KU’s campus this weekend.

The Jayhawks began recruiting Shaw, 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, in mid-January and appeared to lose out on him as Shaw had planned to sign with Iowa on signing day.

However, when the Hawkeyes ran out of room in their

current class, that opened the door for KU coach Charlie Weis and company to step in, and, as of now, it appears that KU is the favorite for Shaw.

Reloaded Veritas off to surprising start

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

“

I’m quite thrilled that we’ve been as successful as we’ve been this year.”

— Vertias Christian boys coach Gary Hammer on the Eagles, who are 12-6 so far

To say Veritas Christian boys basketball coach Gary Hammer was concerned about his team’s experience — or lack thereof — entering this season might not give the coach’s apprehension enough justice.

With just two starters coming back and no key reserves, at least some compartment of Hammer’s brain must have been on the verge of slipping into freak-out mode.

The Eagles coach has been able to rest easy, though, as returning starters Elijah Penny and Thomas Bachert have helped Veritas and its new batch of varsity players get off to a 12-6 start.

“I’m quite thrilled that we’ve been as successful as we’ve been this year,” Hammer said.

“They’re my leaders out there,” the coach said.

A 6-foot-2 scorer, Penny averages 15 points a game.

A rock-solid 6-foot-5 inside presence, Bachert averages 10 rebounds and nine points and has blocked more than 50 shots.

Still, Bachert admitted he didn’t know the team would be so successful with so many new pieces.

“Just teamwork is what it comes down to,” he said.

The willingness to embrace a challenge, Penny added, hasn’t hurt, either.

“We have a group of guys who love to work together,” Journal-World File Photos the senior said.

Royals, Gordon agree on one-year deal KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alex Gordon doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where negotiations stand on a long-term contract. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know how much he deserves to make after a breakout season with the Kansas City Royals.

All he knows is that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under contract for next season, and spring training is almost here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I should make, what I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make.

I just go out there, practice hard, work hard, and the games take care of themselves,â&#x20AC;? said Gordon, who avoided arbitration Thursday by agreeing to a $4,775,000 contract for 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focus on any of the business side,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll

get the details, but I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing, so I leave it up to them.â&#x20AC;?

The Royals have made at least one offer to Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent, Casey Close, for a longterm deal. But the sides shelved those discussions while negotiating a one-year agreement that allows them to avoid an arbitration hearing next week.

Gordon filed a request for $5.45 million, while the team countered with $4.15 million.

He made $1.5 million last season and is still under the Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; control next season.

Gordon could earn a $25,000 bonus for reaching 700 plate appearances this season, 12 more than his career high set last

year, when he batted .303 with 23 homers and 87 RBIs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to work very hard to get all our good players signed long term,â&#x20AC;? Royals general manager Dayton Moore said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always open to it, as long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a distraction. The important thing is Alex â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which he always is, is that Alex is prepared.â&#x20AC;?

That shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an issue.

Gordon already is working out with about a dozen teammates in Arizona. Pitchers and catchers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t report to Surprise until Feb. 20, and the first full-squad workout is Feb. 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty laid back right now, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of guys out

here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to see that. Right now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just having fun and enjoying the time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having right now.â&#x20AC;?

The second overall pick in the 2005 amateur draft, Gordon had been slow to meet the lofty expectations that were placed upon him after a standout career at Nebraska.

He bounced between the bigleague roster and the minors for a few years and only appeared in 74 games with Kansas City in 2010.

He got off to a slow start in spring training last year, too, before some extra work with hitting coach Kevin Seitzer and manager Ned Yost finally paid off.

Nobody needs a Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Almanac to project Saturday afternoon weather in late December 2014 in any given Midwestern city.

I can hear Brent Musburger welcoming viewers to an NCAA college football semifinal game at Ohio State as his teeth chatter: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are looking liiiiiive at workers scraping ice off the Horseshoe!â&#x20AC;?

You can understand why college football teams south of Champaign, Ill.., might be more than a little chilly to the idea of playing in 20-degree temperatures with a national title at stake. The Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concept of holding two semifinal games on campuses, as the Tribune reported, carries potential for built-in advantages in the rare cases a league team holds the No. 1 or No. 2 seed. Imagine how winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elements could help, say, Wisconsin neutralize Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speed.

But slowing down Sun Belt offenses for Big Ten defensive coordinators had nothing to do with conference commissioner Jim Delany dramatically changing his stance on a four-team playoff commonly referred to as Plus-One. I suspect Delany welcomed an alternative blending creativity and common sense to distinguish the Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position and to prevent him from becoming a college football Don Quixote as he continued hopelessly defending the Bowl Championship Series.

What compelled Delany to change course matters less than the fact he finally did, unofficially. Appreciate Delanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political dexterity and pragmatism. As recently as December he remained one of the most rigid, remaining holdouts. Delanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sudden reversal represents the philosophical equivalent of Lovie Smith abandoning the Cover-2 defense. His acknowledgment that Big Ten athletic directors discussed Plus-One proposals suggested the BCS, as we know it, will be DOA by July. Mourners will be few.

Recent data left Delany little choice but to bend. Television ratings from Januaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCS bowls dipped 10 percent. Bowl attendance overall dropped to a 33-year low. Thanks in part to constant carping from media and coaches, the perception that something was wrong with college football gradually became reality. Bowls require excited audiences on TV and in person, but who wants to commit time or money to a sport defined by whining? A redundant BCS vs. playoff debate grew tiresome and counterproductive.

Two college administrators estimated footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final Four could generate a windfall of about $400 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than twice what the BCS reportedly produces. The novelty wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear off because every year promises a marquee intersectional matchup we seldom see anymore. Stanford at LSU, anyone?

TIGER WOODS HITS FROM THE 10TH FAIRWAY AT SPYGLASS HILL during the first round of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Woods fired a 4-under 68 on Thursday, leaving him in a tie for 15th place, five shots back.

Woods open with 68 at Pebble Beach Pro-Am PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Twenty months later, Dustin Johnson finally hit the drive he wanted at Pebble Beach. Ten years later, Tiger Woods must have wondered what kept him away from the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. On a spectacular day of scenery and scoring, Johnson blasted a tee shot on the third hole at Pebble Beach and then pitched in for eagle from 41 yards in front of the green. He added another eagle on his way to a 9-under 63 and a threeway tie atop the leaderboard Thursday.

Woods was five shots to par out of the lead, a solid start to his PGA Tour season. He had six birdies in a 4-under 68 at Spyglass Hill, the fourth-best score on that course. Spyglass was hardest of the three courses, though not by much. The weather was so pure that all three courses played about one shot under par.

Charlie Wi was over at Monterey Peninsula and had a shot at 59 without ever knowing it.

Wi was 8 under after a tap-in birdie on the 13th hole and needed only three birdies in the last five holes. Trouble is, he had no idea the Shore Course was a 70. He made one more birdie and had a 9-under 61. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was looking at the scorecard like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the par here?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I did not know it was a par 70,â&#x20AC;?

Wi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That 59 never crossed my mind. Not once.â&#x20AC;?

Joining them was former U.S. Amateur Danny Lee, who holed a bunker shot for eagle at No. 2 and holed out from the 11th fairway with a wedge for another eagle to match Johnson at 9-under 63.

Johnson is turning into his generationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prince of Pebble.â&#x20AC;? He won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in consecutive years, and then had a three-shot lead at Pebble in the U.S. Open two years ago until he shot 82 in the final round. On the third hole of that round, he hit driver left into the bushes for a lost ball and made double bogey.

GOLF

Two tied in Australia MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; American Stacy Lewis and Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarah Kemp shared the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian Open lead at 4-under 69, leaving top-ranked Yani Tseng a stroke back in her bid to win the event for the third straight year.

Lewis, the Kraft Nabisco winner last year, had

six birdies and two bogeys in the LPGA Tour opener at historic Royal Melbourne, the 2011 Presidents Cup venue that is hosting a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional event for the first time. Kemp had a bogey-free round.

CYCLING

Outcome pleases Armstrong AUSTIN, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lance Armstrong is relieved the federal investigation into doping allegations against him has ended and says he always stayed confident he would not be charged.

Armstrong spoke by phone to the Associated Press on Thursday, his first interview since prosecutors closed their nearly two-year investigation last Friday. He says the decision to not bring charges should end any questions or rumors about Armstrong doping during his career.

Armstrong won the Tour de France every year from 1999-2005.

Armstrong says he quietly celebrated the end of the investigation with his family and a beer at his home in Austin, Texas.

Armstrong is scheduled to travel to Panama City, Panama, this weekend to compete Sunday in a triathlon. He also says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend this year supporting an anti-smoking campaign in California.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oil Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Boyd admits drug use FORT MYERS, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Red Sox pitcher Dennis â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oil Canâ&#x20AC;? Boyd says he probably pitched under the influence of cocaine â&#x20AC;&#x153;at every ballparkâ&#x20AC;? during his 10-year career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one ballpark that I probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay up all night, until 4 or 5 in the morning, and the same thing is in your system,â&#x20AC;? Boyd said in an interview with Jon Miller of WBZ radio in Boston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like you had time to go and do it while you were in the game, which I have (done) that.â&#x20AC;?

Boyd was 78-77 with a 4.04 earned-run average in his career. In eight seasons with the Red Sox, from 1982-89, he was 60-56. In his last two seasons, he was 18-21 with Montreal and Texas.

LHS bowlers snare second ————

Senior Ross has high series in home quad

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

BROOKE THORNTON WAS AMONG THE LAWRENCE HIGH SENIORS honored on Senior Night at the Lions’ bowling quad on Thursday at Royal Crest Lanes.

Thursday didn’t get off to the greatest start for Lawrence High senior Isaiah Ross.

In the hours leading up to the LHS bowling team’s Senior Night quad at Royal Crest Lanes, Ross, the boys’ top roller, jammed his thumb. Then, in the sixth frame of his first game, he pulled his arm on a six-two split.

However, that didn’t stop Ross from posting the top series score of the event with a 695, which was a personal record.

“You’ve just got to focus and go,” Ross said of bowling with mild ailments.

Ross and fellow seniors Pace Leggins, Anthony Rosen and Riley Gentry, along with juniors Austin Bennett and Connor Dan-

iels, helped LHS place second at the home quad with a score of 2,524, which wasn’t enough to topple Olathe North’s 2,622.

Lawrence’s girls, meanwhile, also placed second behind O-North. LHS seniors Darinka Delatorre and Brooke Thornton got a boost from sophomore Kierstan Warren’s 593 — the second-best score of the afternoon, behind only Olathe North’s Kacie Hixon, who rolled a 606. The Lions, who also benefitted from junior Rebecca McNemee’s 581, finished 124 behind ONorth.

LHS coach Paula Bastemeyer would have loved to see the Lions win their home quad on Senior Night, but she was pleased to see the team’s six varsity seniors have some success.

“The seniors have been

fun to work with this year,” she said.

Even though Thornton and Delatorre have not been the girls’ top varsity bowlers, the coach said they’ve been “impactful.”

Delatorre’s 465 series at the quad was a personal record.

Warren didn’t have her best day, but Bastemeyer praised her for bowling with consistency. Warren said she and her teammates — Amy Harvey and Zoe Reed also bowled for LHS Thursday — try to zone out everything else going on around them, even if that means waiting until the end of the meet to find out how they stacked up against their opponents.

“Our team really doesn’t care about others (teams) while we’re bowling,” Warren said. “We just focus on ourselves,

and that’s good, because everyone’s scores count.”

The Lawrence boys got off to a hot start thanks in large part to their seniors.

Ross, Gentry and Leggins all were above 200 in the first game, and Rosen just missed joining them with a 199.

Ross rolled above 200 in all three games of a series for the first time on Senior Night.

Said Bastemeyer: “He did a terrific job. He’s really come a long way this year.”

This has been the first season of varsity bowling for Ross, and his last home event had a nice ending.

“I got to win on Senior Night,” he said. “It feels great.”

On Tuesday, the Lions will be back at Royal Crest Lanes for a dual with Free State on the Firebirds’ Senior Night.

The Jayhawks have now gone 228 games without consecutive defeats, spanning six seasons. “We couldn’t let one become two. We know we have a tough road ahead with Oklahoma State (3 p.m.

Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse) and K-State (8 p.m.

Monday, Bramlage Coliseum), so this was a really big game.”

The Jayhawks (19-5, 9-2) received a big boost from junior center Jeff Withey, who scored a career-high 25 points, 17 the first half.

“It was a tough matchup for him at Missouri, their style of play,” Teahan said. Withey did not score in the loss in Columbia. “He wasn’t happy with it. He was struggling a bit with that performance at practice. Something got into him (Wednesday).

He played great. He carried us.”

He has led Heights to three consecutive state titles.

Ellis is KU’s first McDonald’s All-American since Josh Selby (2010) and the state of Kansas’ first McDonald’s pick since Wayne Simien (2001). KU assistant coach Danny Manning was a McDonald’s All-American in 1984 out of Lawrence High.

“I’m just so excited for this. I’ve been working so hard for this, and I’m truly blessed to get the chance to do this. It’s just real

exciting for me and my family,” Ellis said. “Playing in the McDonald’s AllAmerica game has been a goal of mine since my freshman year.”

Ellis will play for the East team with Kyle Anderson, DaJuan Coleman, Kris Dunn, William Goodwin, Gary Harris, Amile Jefferson, Tyler Lewis, Tony Parker, Alex Poythress, Rodney Purvis and T.J.

fourth on the NFL’s alltime rushing list with 14,101 yards. He also ranks third in rushing attempts (3,518) and 12th in rushing touchdowns (90). Not bad for a guy who began his 11-year pro career under the tutelage of a man known for developing quarterbacks.

A lot has said and written about Weis being known as a quarterback guru. But, when Martin broke into the league in 1995, he ran for 1,487 yards and earned offensive rookie of the year honors under Weis, who at that time was the Patriots’ running-backs coach.

This, of course, was before Weis went on to become a successful NFL offensive coordinator, first with the New York Jets and later with the New England Patriots.

So enamored was Weis with the running back that after spending one season in New York without him, he influenced the Jets to

trade for Martin before the 1998 season. During his two seasons with Weis in New York, Martin ran for 1,287 and 1,464 yards and scored 13 touchdowns. He also caught 88 passes for 624 yards and one more touchdown.

At the induction ceremony in August, Martin will join Jack Butler, Dermontti Dawson, Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy and Willie Roaf as the latest NFL greats to make it to Canton, Ohio.

“I think it’s nice and is a great compliment to our group,” title team member Bill Hougland said. “You feel more of this (feeling of achievement) the older you get. You look back at the times you had. It is a great feeling.”

Rivera to stay with Pats Former KU linebacker Mike Rivera, who spent the second half of the 2011 season on the New England Patriots’ practice squad, has agreed to a contract to stay with the club in 2012.

ERIC SHIN (32) HAS TAKEN OVER POINT-GUARD DUTIES for Veritas Christian, helping fill out a solid nucleus around returning captains Thomas Bachert and Elijah Penny.

points a game, and Hammer called him the “most improved” player on the team, characterizing him as “very steady.” Shin has taken over point-guard responsibilities, and Penny has been impressed with Shin’s improved work ethic, ball-handling and shooting. Then there is the freshman. Described by his coach as a great athlete who plays hard, Holland, Bachert said, “has stepped up big-time.”

“He doesn’t act like a freshman out there,” the junior said of his young teammate.

Veritas also had benefited from a big addition to the roster during its winter break. That’s when 6-1 senior Nick Bennett, known for his prowess on the gridiron, joined the Eagles. Hammer said the star quarterback plays with strength and toughness on the hardwood when he comes in as a back-up post player.

While the Eagles have two other seniors on the bench — Caleb Bond and Taylor Zook — the older guys are outnumbered by underclassmen.

Sophomore Brody Robinson and freshmen Peter Shin, Micah Edmondson and Alex Currier comprise the rest of the team.

It’s a pretty young group, but Bachert said it works.

“We just all like each other. I don’t know what that says about me, because I’m a junior getting along with these freshmen.” the big man said with a laugh. “I love them all, man.”

How was Hammer to know things would click so well for the coachable bunch? He thought there would be growing pains, but Veritas started the season 3-3 and followed that with a six-game winning streak.

“I think the guys were just learning fast,” the coach said.

No one was shocked when the freshmen made mistakes, and Penny liked that Hammer let them play through those miscues and learn from the process. Then again…

“Honestly, he’s been forced to, because we don’t have a deep bench,” the senior cracked.

Still, Penny said the young guys truly have improved because of that experience, and that should only help the Eagles going into the final few weeks of the season.

Veritas is coming off its biggest victory of the season — a 38-33 victory Tuesday at St. Marys — and has its toughest home test at 5 p.m. Saturday, when Derby visits.

Hammer said there is plenty of room for improvement with the Eagles, such as free-throw shooting and passing against a zone, but he hopes the team will be peaking at the right time with the postseason approaching.

Another run at the state title isn’t out of the question, either, if you ask the Eagles’ captains.

The team never lacked confidence, despite the uncertainty of playing with young role players, and Penny said that approach has been in place all season: “We looked at it as: Let’s prove everybody wrong.”

Celtics’ coach enjoys moment BOSTON (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike Brown walked past the crowd of reporters huddled outside the Celtics’ locker room and thought, briefly, about joining in.

“With all the media, are you waiting for Austin or Doc?” Brown said before Thursday night’s game against Boston. “Hopefully, it’s Austin. Let me know, because I want his autograph, too.”

One night after Duke guard Austin Rivers hit the winning shot against North Carolina, the talk in Boston was more about Doc Rivers’ son than the Lakers and Celtics renewing their rivalry for the first time in the lockoutshortened season. Doc Rivers said his Lakers counterpart was one of many who sent congratulatory text messages after Duke’s win.

“I was hoping he was going to text me and say

that Kobe and all those guys were not playing,” Rivers said.

A 19-year-old freshman, Austin Rivers dribbled down the final seconds of Wednesday night’s game in Chapel Hill and sank a three-pointer that gave the Blue Devils an 85-84 victory. Doc Rivers was in the crowd with his daughter, Callie, celebrating.

“For me, as a parent, you can see your kid play and do well, it’s always a blast,” Doc Rivers said Thursday night. “You don’t have to worry about calling a timeout or anything else, you can just have fun. As a fan, it’s the best. It’s a different emotion.”

The Celtics had the night off Wednesday after playing the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday night, allowing Doc Rivers to travel to Chapel Hill to see his son play.

Pierce picked for 10th All-Star appearance NEW YORK (AP) — Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce overcame slow starts to return to the All-Star game, while lengthy runs ended for Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.

Nowitzki was chosen Thursday to his 11th straight All-Star game, despite his lowest scoring average since his second NBA season. Pierce has come on after a slow start caused by a foot injury and was picked for the 10th time.

But Garnett wasn’t chosen after 14 consecutive selections, and Duncan was left out after 13 in a row. Other All-Star regulars such as Ray Allen and Amare Stoudemire will be home, giving way to five first-timers: Portland’s

LaMarcus Aldridge, Marc Gasol of Memphis, Andre Iguodala of Philadelphia, Indiana’s Roy Hibbert, and Chicago’s Luol Deng.

Also headed to Orlando for the Feb. 26 game are NBA assists leader Steve Nash of Phoenix, Tony Parker of San Antonio, Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City, Kevin Love of Minnesota, Chris Bosh of Miami, Atlanta’s Joe Johnson and Deron Williams of New Jersey.

Already voted to start by fans in the Eastern Conference were Orlando’s Dwight Howard, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade of Miami, Chicago’s Derrick Rose and New York’s Carmelo Anthony. The West starters are the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant and An-

drew Bynum, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin of the Clippers, and Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant.

Coaches voted for the reserves, and they had a tough task in this lockoutshortened season, when they were given only about 25 games to evaluate players.

That threatened to make it tough for Nowitzki and Pierce, whose bodies weren’t ready to go after the lengthy offseason and brief training camps, and have played below their usual standards.

“I think it’s too early.

I’m sitting on my couch when they announced the rosters and I’m floored. I didn’t even know they had started the voting,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.

But the coaches picked Nowitzki, the NBA finals MVP, even though his average of 17.6 points is his worst since he scored 17.5 per game in the 1999-2000 season.

The Mavericks shut him down for a few games to work on his conditioning, and even he wondered recently whether his streak would continue, given the depth of players in his position in the West.

“It was a tough road back to full health for me, but I am honored that the coaches thought enough of me to make me an AllStar,” Nowitzki said in a statement. “It has been a privilege to represent the Mavericks organization over the last decade and

I look forward to doing it again in Orlando.”

Pierce has been a little better, winning last week’s East player of the week award and hiking his average to 18.4 per game, but acknowledged during an interview on TNT before the Celtics played the Lakers that he was a little surprised to be picked.

But he’ll go alone from Boston, a year after Garnett, Allen and Rajon Rondo went with him. Duncan was there last year, too, having never missed an All-Star game since entering the league in the 199798 season.

“They’re getting older,” Rivers said. “It’s just, you know, change. It happens.”

Age didn’t stop Nash,

averaging 10 assists and shooting 56 percent from the field. He became just the fourth player to earn an All-Star spot at 38 or older, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan and Karl Malone.

Coaches favored team success, with only Nash, Williams and Gasol getting picked from teams with losing records.

That left out All-Star hopefuls such as Milwaukee’s Brandon Jennings, the Knicks’ Stoudemire — who misses a chance to play near his Florida home — the Grizzlies’ Rudy Gay and Golden State’s Monta Ellis. Houston’s Kyle Lowry also fell short in the West, where coaches picked three other point guards.

It’s like the buddy system… for parents.

Don’t turn blind eye to abusive family Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Omaha: Adult Protective Services may not be able to step in if Mom appears to be mentally healthy and refuses to cooperate. Your sister is trying to protect her children. Shame on her for allowing them to financially abuse their grandmother. Please try the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 (eldercare.gov) and ask what assistance is available in Mom’s state.

Dear Annie: After several weeks of arguments with my husband about his parents’ intentional cruelty toward me and his lack of defense, we finally confronted them.

We tried to do it gently.

We shared that they had hurt my feelings with their behavior.

Their reaction was the opposite of what we had hoped. Instead of apologizing for their wrongs against me, they imme-

TV treads narrow path There’s ratings gold in them there gold shows! Two weeks back, “Bering Sea Gold” (10 p.m., Discovery) was the highest-rated series debut in that network’s history. And last week, its cable ratings got even higher, reaching more than 3.5 million total viewers. There was a time when that would have been considered a paltry network audience.

But those were in the days before every show had to compete with hundreds of other choices.

In fact, the proliferation of channels and the fracturing of the market have resulted in the cookie cutter sameness of the cable viewing experience. “Gold Rush” begets “Bering Sea Gold”; “Jersey Shore” begets “Jersey Couture.”

Cupcake shows breed like rabbits. Or the Duggars. And so it goes.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to turn out. When cable emerged, folks anticipated that more competition would bring more choices. Even quality. And for a while it did. In the early 1990s, some even argued that because networks like A&E and Bravo broadcast ballet and fine arts programming, PBS had become superfluous and unnecessary. Boy, that was a long time ago.

With broadcasters scrambling to win so small a piece of the audience pie, many have become risk-averse. If you propose something entirely original and it fails, you could lose your job or your chance to produce another show. But if you imitate or blatantly plagiarize an existing format, you stand a chance of getting a respectable rating and you live to see another day.

Given the difficulty of breaking out of this rut, you have to commend the broadcasters that still make a stab at originality. But don’t expect them not to be punished for their efforts. HBO’s “Luck” has not found an audience to match its critical acclaim. According to the Nielsen website TVbytheNumbers, “Luck” not only failed to crack the top 10 cable series last Sunday; it didn’t even make the top 100.

Kristen Wiig plays the demented fan of a local band that uses a cat to garner YouTube attention on “Portlandia” (9 p.m., IFC).

Tonight’s other highlights

A disturbed woman sparks a hostage crisis on “A Gifted Man” (7 p.m., CBS).

Marisa Tomei explores her roots and looks into a tale about her grandfather’s violent demise on “Who Do You Think You Are?” (7 p.m., NBC).

On the trail of a black widow on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

A grieving daughter claims to receive a divine diagnosis of her mother’s cause of death on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Feb. 10: This year you juggle work, relationships and a long-term dream.

You might lean one way or another during parts of the year. Depending on your background and needs, you will feel more comfortable dealing with a specific area. If you are single, you’ll meet someone quite exotic and different who opens doors you have never seen. If you are attached, you see a dimension of your mate that is new. LIBRA can say awful comments without others even realizing for hours.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Defer to others, especially as you are focused on a key matter. Let them carry the ball, but be ready for a surprise or two. You cannot control others, so appreciate their individuality.

Tonight: Let the weekend begin.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Recognize that you are human and can do only so much.

Your own level of energy will define the possibilities. On the other hand, you could try the power of positive thinking. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might have a case of weekend fever. Your energy and willingness to complete any pending work demonstrate how much you want time off.

Tonight: You could be a little wild.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You seem to be more creative and dynamic than you have been in a while. A situation around work could become very strange or unusual, if it isn’t already! Tonight: At home, but don’t let it be alone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Carefully finish up detailed information in the morning.

The unexpected runs riot through your afternoon, lightening up the pace and your mood — if you have a sense of humor. Tonight: Stop. Make time for a friend.

parents behave in a civil manner toward you, but if they can’t or won’t, it is OK for you to stay away as much as possible. Your husband, however, may choose to visit his parents without you.

Please don’t take this as a lack of defense. They are his folks, and he loves them. We recommend you support his efforts to stay in touch with them and he support your need to stay away.

Dear Annie: My mother is 86 and lives in another state. My 33-yearold nephew and his three kids live with her, as do my niece, “Joanna,” and her two children. Not one of them has a job.

Several months ago, Mom broke her hip and was in rehab for four months. During that time, Joanna used Mom’s ATM card and took all the money out of her account. She also opened credit cards in Mom’s name and ran up huge bills and stole Mom’s mail-order pills and sold them on the street.

What’s worse is that my sister, the mother of this niece and nephew, insists that I am not permitted to say one negative word to my mother about them. She claims the thievery is between Joanna, Mom and God. My mother is scared of all of them. I have called Adult Protective Services, but was told they’d only step in if my mother made a report.

My sister says I need to forgive Joanna and let it go. How do I do that? There has been no accountability, no restitution, no apology.

Also, I found out that Mom’s good jewelry was pawned for drugs. Any ideas? — Mad in Omaha
