TOM AND VERGENE KUGLER, who have been married 67 years, show off their dance moves Monday at Meadowlark Estates, where they live. They both say that the key to a long and successful marriage is respect for each other.

Tips for healthy, long-lasting relationships

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Vergene Kugler looked Tom, her husband of 67 years, in the eyes and smiled really big.

“It’s been a wonderful life,” she said. “There were rough times, and they were

pretty rough, but the good times were so good that they made up for it.”

The two talked about the ups and downs of married life while sitting next to each other on a couch in a guest area of Lawrence’s Meadowlark Estates on the eve of Valentine’s Day. During the

interview, Tom would put a hand on her knee or his arm around her. He even gave her a peck on the lips.

“We started out in love, and somewhere along the lines when things got tough, we realized that neither one of us is so bright or smarter than the other,” Tom said.

“We also didn’t take ourselves too seriously no matter how tough it was; we always seemed to get together after it and think, ‘Well, that was kind of stupid.’”

The couple met in Fort Hays where Vergene was Please see TIPS, page 2A

The school consolidation working group has abandoned its charge to recommend which elementary schools should close because they feel the majority of the school board no longer backs the task they were assigned to do.

On Monday, the CenSCHOOLS tral and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group met in what should have been their second to last meeting.

The Lawrence school board has charged the group to recommend a way to reduce six elementary schools — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — down to three or four within the next two years.

Five months of discussion came to a head Monday night when representatives from Pinckney announced they would not recommend closing any schools based on feedback from school board members.

While the seven school board members haven’t recently discussed the working group’s progress in public, the Pinckney parents Please see SCHOOLS, page 2A

the project. State officials envisioned the lab, which would research foot-andmouth and other dangerous animal diseases, as a key part of an emerging biosciences industry.

Gov. Sam Brownback and Kansas’ congressional delegation — all Republicans — issued a statement saying further review of merits of the facility is needless and “a waste of taxpayer dollars.” The officials promised to work to overcome the recommendation from Obama, a Democrat, and said doing so will protect the security of the nation’s food supply.

“This change of direction is unacceptable and will leave our country vulnerable,” the statement said. “Kansas has won every competition, met every standard and proven its commitment to this project, and we’ll do whatever it takes to fulfill this critical national security need.”

Federal pressures Congress appropriated only $50 million of the $150 million the Obama administration requested for the lab in the current budget year, which the White House said was insufficient to begin construction.

“In light of this, the Administration will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the project in 2012, which will consider the cost, safety and any alternatives to the current plan that would reduce costs and ensure safety,” the budget document unveiled Monday states.

Obama is asking the Department of Homeland Security to re-evaluate the project, while spending $10 million to increase the amount of research being done at Kansas State’s Biosecurity Research Institute. Brownback and state’s congressional delegation took that decision as a vote of confidence in Kansas State’s researchers to do the work.

The budget plan also calls for developing a public outreach program to notify surrounding residents and livestock producers about the additional research and safety measures in place to protect humans and animals.

But the proposal still is a major blow to Kansas, which expected the new lab to have more than 300 jobs paying an average of more than $75,000 a year in salary and benefits.

“Hopefully this not the final answer,” said Kansas House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat and member of the governor’s NBAF task force. “Given the constraints that the federal government is now operating under, projects like NBAF are going to be in a real uphill battle.

The need for NBAF hasn’t changed at all.”

Helium CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The United States built the infrastructure to manufacture and distribute helium and stored it away in Texas. But in recent years, those supplies have been bought by other interests and used in a variety of industries that take priority over retailers. For instance, helium is used in hospitals to cool MRI machines and for other medical research.

And no one in the United States is replacing the supply.

“What’s there is there,”

.

Officials had hoped to have the facility operating by 2018. But U.S. Rep. Timothy Bishop, a Democrat who represents the Plum Island site and Long Island, had asked the federal Office of Management and Budget not to recommend funding for it.

New York Sen. Charles Schumer said the federal government should continue investing in research at Plum Island, and fellow New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said its sale should be delayed because it remains a “critical national asset.” Both, like Bishop, are Democrats.

“I will be stunned if the Kansas delegation does not try to resurrect this issue,” Bishop told The Associated Press in an interview.

He added about Plum Island, “It is a good facility that is not obsolete and does not need to be replaced.”

Members of Kansas’ congressional delegation and Brownback have previously expressed confidence that the project would be fully funded, despite opposition from some concerned about the lab’s safety, including Bishop and other members of Congress.

New study A National Academy of Science study on the feasibility of placing the lab in the nation’s heartland identified a 70 percent chance that a release of foot-and-mouth disease could occur at the new facility during its projected 50-year lifespan. Damages to the livestock industry could total as much as $50 billion if a release were to occur, officials have said.

The academy is again studying the feasibility of placing the facility in Kansas. A final report is due this summer.

At a field hearing last month in Manhattan, critics of NBAF argued that the risks associated with studying foot-and-mouth disease and other deadly pathogens outweighed any economic benefit to the region. They urged Homeland Security and others to stop work on the project and leave the research on Plum Island.

“No one has done anything on this scale, which introduces a lot of variables,” said Sylvia Beeman, a Manhattan resident and spokeswoman for the anti-NBAF group Biosecurity in the Heartland. “There are mechanical failures all the time and human failures all the time.”

But Beeman said she is saddened that Manhattan will not be getting an economic boost. She said she and other critics worry about becoming “pariahs” in the community.

“I hope that Manhattan and the university can find some other worthy thing to put their intellect into,” she said. “The community has banked on this.”

— Associated Press writers John Hanna in Topeka and Frank Eltman in Long Island, N.Y., contributed to this report.

Fish said.

That means the price goes up for retailers. A tank of helium that cost about $35 in the 1990s is more than $70 today, depending on its location, Fish said.

That leaves retailers rationing what they can get and sometimes adding just plain old air to their helium mix.

But Fish is optimistic that overseas suppliers will increase production.

“We have hope in the balloon industry that we’ll continue to get helium,” she said.

High school principals give update on grade realignment

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Lawrence’s high school principals said the transition to a ninth- through 12thgrade system is benefiting the district in many areas but added they are continuing to evaluate facility needs at the high schools.

The principals were giving a midyear report to the Lawrence school board in the first year of the new system.

Ninth-graders, in addition to the athletic opportunities they had last year, added co-curricular activities this year.

Participation in high school debate had increased by 100 percent since the addition of ninth-graders, said Matt Brungardt, principal of Lawrence High School.

The new seven-period day has led to increased elective options for students, too, the principals

emailed the board imploring them to state their stance for the record.

“We saw the votes there and didn’t think it would do any of us any good to make superficial closure recommendations,” Pinckney parent Stacey White said.

She later clarified that they group wasn’t advocating not to close any schools.

“We aren’t saying to recommend to close no schools. We just refuse to name schools and then play the villain to their hero,” White said.

Instead, White proposed that the working group make recommendations on key issues, such as how to handle English as a Second Language programming, boundary changes and a low socioeconomic mix.

Superintendent Rick Doll acknowledged that the political landscape had changed and so had data about school enrollment. But he still urged the working group to

attending college and Tom worked at nearby Walker Army Airfield and flew B-29 bombers. They raised one son, and both ended up working for schools in Oklahoma and Kansas. She was a secretary and music teacher, and he was a principal and administrator.

“We’ve just seen so much in our years together,” Vergene said.

The couple — he’s 91 and she’s 89 — said their love has grown over the years and they still like to put on their dancing shoes.

They will be attending a sweetheart dinner and dance for Valentine’s Day. He joked that they have to show the younger generations how it’s done.

Vergene said she continues to be attracted to Tom’s sense of humor, and added that he hasn’t ever forgotten a Valentine’s Day gift.

“This year, my Valentine gift is a manicure,” she said, holding up her newly painted red nails, and they both laughed.

They are both quick to admit that it wasn’t always roses. “There’s nobody that doesn’t go careening off into the ditch,” Tom said.

“But, you’ve got to learn what put you there and then don’t do it again.”

Marciana Vequist, a licensed psychologist at

said.

Traffic flow is still “a little bit of an issue” at Free State High School, Brungardt said, but not as much at Lawrence High.

Board member Shannon Kimball asked the principals whether they had evaluated their facilities needs yet. That work is still ongoing, but Brungardt said the top priority at Lawrence High is the cafeteria space.

On cold days like Monday, when few students opt to eat off campus, the cafeteria can get pretty full, he said.

“We know in the future if we grow, we’re going to outgrow our cafeteria,” he said.

At Free State, the most notable strain is in classroom space, said Principal Ed West. “We now have more teachers than we have classrooms,” he said.

The schools are also looking at ways to reincorporate the seminar period

that allowed students to get help, make up exams and labs, and make use of other tutoring opportunities during the school day. Mark Bradford, board chairman, thanked the principals and their staffs for their work during the transition.

In other business:

The board was scheduled to approve five people to a finance advisory committee, but Rick Doll, superintendent, said he erred and did not get information on the applicants to all board members, so the board is scheduled to reconsider the appointments in two weeks.

Though the schools consolidation working group was meeting upstairs at the same time, the board did not specifically discuss the issue.

come to the board with a recommendation.

“We all know we still have a unique opportunity to influence this decision,” Doll said. “Whatever you can give the board in terms of helping them with this decision is extremely important.”

While the working group agreed to not name specific schools, they remained split on whether closing schools was necessary.

“I just haven’t seen something that creates as much good as it does harm that makes it worthwhile to roll the dice,” New York parent Josh Davis said.

Not everyone agreed.

Kennedy parent Dawn Shew said closing schools was a way to provide much-needed services throughout the district.

“What we have done is not working. We have an opportunity here to do better. I’m not interested in the status quo. Where is the money going to come from for us to have a fulltime nurse?” she said. “We have to make sacrifices.

There is no fairy in this scenario. Something has to give.”

By the end of the night,

the group decided to split in two. One group, formed of Cordley, New York and Hillcrest representatives, will work on a proposal that sees no compelling reasons to consolidate schools but does support a bond issue to improve the schools. The other group, formed of Kennedy, Pinckney and Sunset Hill representatives, will argue why consolidating schools would work.

Their proposal just won’t say which schools should close. They also support a bond issue.

Both groups will meet again before their final meeting Monday. The group that doesn’t think any school closures will be beneficial will meet at 1 p.m. Saturday at the New York School library, and the group that does support school closures will meet at 7 p.m. at the Carnegie Building, 200 W. Ninth St. The working group is set to present its recommendation to the board Feb. 27 and is scheduled to meet for a final time next Monday.

Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center who works with couples, agrees. She said every couple is going to have their heated arguments, and when they occur it’s best to step away, reflect and then come back to it when emotions aren’t as high and you’re using more logical thinking.

She said the three deadly pitfalls when tensions start to flare are to defend yourself a lot, attack your loved one, and/or completely withdraw.

“Most of us will resort to those on occasion, and after we do we need to process it and understand ourself a bit better and try to decrease it in the future.

Nobody does it perfectly,” she said.

She believes there are two keys to a healthy, longlasting relationship: respect for one another and the ability to engage in self disclosure. That means being able to talk about your true feelings and show your true self, not just saying and doing what the other person wants.

“A lot of times we see mood problems in people who have created a facade of who they are,” she said.

Most important, she said, tend to your relationship every day, not just on

Valentine’s Day. Todd Patkin, author of “Finding Happiness,” agrees. He said too often people take marriage for granted.

“Most people spend more time working on their cars, houses and yards than they ever do on their marriage,” he said. “We need to realize that anything that we’re not working on, anything that we’re not helping to grow and expand, gradually contracts and dies.”

Patkin, 46, of Foxborough, Mass., has been married for 26 years to Yadira, whom he described as his “Venezuelan beauty.” He said relationships and romance tend to fade because couples forget to compliment each other like they do when they first fall in love. Instead, it turns to talk of not taking out the trash, not helping take care of the kids or not going to the gym.

“Nobody wants to feel bad about themselves,” he said. “We all want to feel loved and special. So, it’s very, very important to make the other person feel loved, special and cherished.”

BRIEFLY Lawmakers mulling several alcohol bills TOPEKA — Kansas lawmakers have been talking about alcohol a lot this legislative session, with more than a dozen proposed bills in various stages of the legislative process.

Although alcohol-related laws are proposed every session, Sen. Pete Brungardt, chairman of the Senate Federal LEGISLATURE and State Affairs Committee, said it’s unusual to have so many liquor bills under consideration.

During a recent meeting, Brungardt’s committee heard testimony on bills to expand licensing options and allow sampling at distilleries, passed a bill allowing full-strength alcoholic drinks on state lands and waters, and delayed discussion on a bill to loosen happy hour restrictions to the following day, where three other alcohol-related bills were already waiting.

Brungardt said most of the liquor legislation in his committee involves minor tweaks to existing law, which he said happens nearly every year, in part because of intense efforts by several lobbyists.

One of those lobbyists told The Topeka-Capital Journal that 13 alcohol-related bills are before the Legislature.

Officials: Tax plan would harm highways

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Highway projects would be delayed and possibly shelved if a House Republican leadership plan to cut taxes was approved, officials said Monday.

The proposal would divert $351 million from the comprehensive

transportation plan, called TWorks, in order to replace revenue lost by the proposed reduction in state income tax rates.

“What it would mean is that we can’t deliver projects when we promised,” said Steve Swartz, a spokesman for the Kansas Department of Transportation.

House Republicans touted

their proposal as an alternative to Gov. Sam Brownback’s taxcutting plan. Brownback, also a Republican, would have reduced income tax rates, but also eliminated standard deductions and made permanent the 6.3 percent state sales tax, which is scheduled to decrease to 5.7 percent next year.

Under the House GOP leadership plan, income tax rates would be reduced, the deductions kept, and the sales tax would fall as scheduled.

But for two years, the House Republican plan would hold back some of the scheduled sales

The petition states Siebert came into contact with Larrick “during a motorist assist call.” According to Douglas County Jail and court records, troopers arrested COURTS Larrick that evening near 23rd and Louisiana streets on charges of DUI, possession of a depressant and obstruction.

Larrick later entered nocontest pleas to his third DUI and a misdemeanor drug possession charge while prosecutors dropped the obstruction charge, and he was sentenced to two days in jail and one year on probation.

tax transfer to KDOT for the T-Works plan.

Rep. Richard Carlson, R-St. Marys, and chair of the House Taxation Committee, said of KDOT, “I’m sure they would prefer it not be done,” but added the agency would get its normal funding after two years.

That didn’t placate transportation advocates.

“We’re opposed to changing the way that TWorks was funded in the original legislation,” said Julie Lorenz, chief executive of Economic Lifelines, a coalition of groups that supports T-Works.

Lorenz said such a reduction would result in fewer highway projects getting done.

She also said the plan goes counter to a bipartisan effort that was recently announced to accelerate $50 million of highway projects to take advantage of low construction prices and spur job growth.

Legislative hearings on the tax proposal are expected to start this week.

Democrats criticized the Republican plan.

“The transportation plan that passed the House in 2010 is the largest jobs package in Kansas history,” said House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence. “It is wrong for House Republicans to propose eliminating those jobs at a time when over 50,000 Kansans are desperate to find work.”

He said Brownback’s plan increased taxes on low-income families, while the House GOP plan would eliminate transportation jobs.

“Both plans make the gap between the rich and the middle class wider,” he said. “We can do better,” he said. Republicans have described their proposals as pro-growth strategies that will help all taxpayers.

Larrick “in a vital organ” during the incident causing him to have both temporary and permanent injuries.

“Siebert used excessive force beyond the scope of force permitted or authorized pursuant to said officer’s training instruction manuals and code of conduct,” Larrick’s attorney wrote in the petition.

The suit also alleges Siebert “performed an unprivileged touching and striking” of Larrick “with the intent to bring about a contact that was harmful.”

In the petition, Larrick is seeking damages in excess of $75,000 on two separate counts against Siebert.

Daniel Stuart, a Leawood attorney representing Larrick, declined to comment beyond the petition filed in Douglas County District Court.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE

Debate on illegal immigration begins

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — State legislators on Monday started a weeklong debate on immigration policy ranging from allowing undocumented workers to stay in Kansas to measures aimed at chasing them away.

First up was a bill endorsed by business and religious groups that would allow undocumented workers who had no criminal record and who had been working in Kansas at least five years to apply for a legal status that would allow them to work in Kansas industries facing labor shortages.

Rep. Reynaldo Mesa, R-Garden City, told the House Federal and State Affairs Committee that House Bill 2712 would help the agricultural economy in southwest Kansas and keep workers’ families together.

“I challenge my colleagues to put the politics of this issue aside, and truly analyze this bill on its merits,” Mesa said.

But several committee members questioned whether businesses that hired workers under the proposed program could face penalties from the federal government.

Chairman Steve Brunk, R-Wichita, asked why would workers “self-iden-

UPS asked people to bring pictures of what they wanted to see from their delivery person, and people brought back pictures of water coolers and coffee cups. The company was confused until it realized people were missing the interactions with the drivers.

“Now he’s too busy for

Testimony also spilled into bills that will be heard later this week that seek to crack down on illegal immigration.

House Bill 2578 is similar to laws approved in Arizona and Alabama that would require law enforcement to check citizenship status of people who are detained and a “reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien.”

House Bill 2576 would establish criminal penalties for harboring illegal immigrants. Bishop Scott Jones of the United Methodist Church said the proposal could turn him into a criminal for preaching to people who may be undocumented.

“Please don’t send me or my preachers to jail for our obedience to Christ,” he said.

of the Chicago Public Library will be the first of three finalists interviewed for the director position at the Lawrence Public Library.

Leaders of the Lawrence Public Library announced Monday that Sarah Tansley, the manager of Chicago’s Humboldt Park Branch Library, will be in Lawrence this week.

Tansley will participate in a public presentation at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Lawrence City Hall.

The session will be the first of three scheduled sessions with the finalists for the library’s top administrative position. The other public sessions are set for Feb. 21 and Feb. 28.

The names of the other two finalists will be announced shortly before those events, said Mike Wildgen, the interim director of the library.

Deborah Thompson, chairwoman of the city’s library board, said the board hopes to make an offer to a candidate by early March and have a new director in place by early April. That would allow the new leader to begin work before construction on a $19 million expansion of the library begins this summer.

TOPEKA — A plan to raise funds to handle future disasters got some rough treatment Monday from critics who said it would put in place a hidden tax increase.

House Bill 2572 would establish a disaster fund under the Kansas Adjutant General’s office. It would collect $12 million on taxes collected on insurance premiums and $10 million from the Kansas Universal Service Fund, which is paid by telephone customers through a monthly charge.

Telephone company representatives said using telephone charges to deal with disasters was inappropriate since the service fund was established to support telecommunications services. In addition,

they said the state’s service fund charges already are among the highest in the nation.

“Just because the KUSF surcharge is in existence does not warrant this mismatched funding proposal, no more than increasing gasoline taxes or imposing a hotel bed surcharge,” said John Idoux, with CenturyLink, which provides rural phone service.

Mike Scott, with AT&T, said it would increase the charge on customers by up to 30 cents each month.

“If HB 2572 becomes law, it could be viewed as a tax increase, and a hidden tax at that,” he said.

The House Appropriations Committee took no immediate action on the measure.

She said it showed how it was important to focus both on the emotional and rational sides of people.

Reward the right stuff: She warned against “rewarding A and hoping for B.” If a business has a culture in which it rewards top sellers and fires the worst-performing sellers, it shouldn’t expect its workers to share ideas on how to best sell products, because sharing would benefit a competitor/coworker.

officials and other stakeholders. At the three public sessions, the finalists will be asked to speak on what they think the future holds for libraries.

“We’re providing them a really broad topic, and they can choose to elaborate on that,” Thompson said. “We think we have three great candidates, but they all will bring something a little different to the table.”

The library board received 30 applications from across the country to replace former director Bruce Flanders, who retired and then shortly thereafter took a job at MidAmerica Nazarene University. Wildgen confirmed that none of the finalists is local.

Bill to raise disaster funds criticized

WICHITA — Investigators say a 12-year-old girl who died after she was hit by a police car ran in front of the car at a south Wichita intersection.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the officer was responding to a burglary when the accident occurred Sunday.

the 14-year-old stopped on the median and told her cousin to also stop, but the 12-year-old ran into the patrol car’s path.

The Wichita Eagle reports Mosley would not say how fast investigators think the patrol car was going at the time.

Police say investigators are trying to determine if the officer’s view was obstructed by an SUV that was in the lane next to him.

Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman, said Angela M. Herman spun out in her westbound 2003 Ford Expedition at 6:15 a.m. and crashed into a bridge pillar at East 2100 Road on the west side of Eudora.

Lewis said officers indicated Herman was not wearing a seat belt. Her injuries were not believed to be lifethreatening, he said.

Officers throughout Douglas County also assisted several motorists who had slid off roads or highways in Monday morning’s snow, Lewis said.

City to appeal sidewalk ruling

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Lawrence city prosecutors will appeal a recent municipal court decision that declared part of a sidewalk ordinance was unconstitutional.

“The ordinance was extensively researched before it was passed by the City Commission,” said Jerry Little, the supervising city prosecutor.

“There are several cities that have a similar ordinance, and courts have found these ordinances constitutional. We are confident that our ordinance will be found constitutional.”

Judge Randy McGrath ruled last week the one subsection of the ordinance, which makes it illegal to “continue to obstruct traffic” and includes

a definition about people having to walk around someone, was vague.

McGrath’s ruling came as he acquitted Robert Gilmore, 54, Lawrence, of three misdemeanor counts of prohibited use of a right of way for incidents last year on Massachusetts Street.

Gilmore, who sometimes goes by the nickname “Simon,” is often seen downtown wearing a robe or bed sheet, and his mother has told the Journal-World he received a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia as a child.

Shelley Hickman Clark, an associate clinical specialist with Douglas County Legal Aid, represented Gilmore at the municipal court trial.

Little said the city was only asking a Douglas County district judge to

overturn the ruling on the constitutionality of the ordinance. He said the city was not disputing Gilmore’s not guilty verdict.

The city commission approved the sidewalk ordinance in 2005 on a 3-2 vote. It was drafted along with an “aggressive panhandling” ordinance.

McGrath ruled that portions of the ordinance that prohibit people from leaving objects in a right of way and intentionally obstructing traffic were constitutional.

McGrath, who retired as a municipal court judge last year, heard the case because Judge Scott Miller, a former city staff attorney, recused himself.

Obama’s budget: Government still growing PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA speaks about the “Community College to Career Fund” and his 2013 budget Monday, at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Va.

By Andrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Taking a pass on reining in government growth, President Obama unveiled a record $3.8 trillion election-year budget plan Monday, calling for stimulus-style spending on roads and schools and tax hikes on the wealthy to help pay the costs. The ideas landed with a thud on Capitol Hill.

Though the Pentagon and a number of Cabinet agencies would get squeezed, Obama would leave the spiraling growth of health care programs for the elderly and the poor largely unchecked.

The plan claims $4 trillion in deficit savings over the coming decade, but most of it would be through tax increases Republicans oppose, lower war costs already in motion and budget cuts enacted last year in a debt pact with GOP lawmakers.

Many of the ideas in the White House plan for the 2013 budget year will be thrashed out during this year’s election campaigns as the Republicans try to oust Obama from the White House and add Senate control to their command of the House.

“We can’t just cut our way into growth,” Obama said at a campaign-style rally at a community

BRIEFLY Authorities: Houston was pulled from tub BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF. — Whitney Houston was underwater and apparently unconscious when she was pulled from a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub, and she had prescription drugs in her room, authorities said Monday.

The regal pop star’s family made arrangements to fly her body home to New Jersey for a funeral at the end of the week.

Authorities said that there were no indications of foul play and no obvious signs of trauma on Houston’s body but that it could be weeks before the coroner’s office completes toxicology tests to establish the cause of death.

The 48-year-old singer had struggled for years with cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her behavior had become erratic.

Houston was found underwater Saturday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel by a member of her staff about 3:30 p.m., hours before she was supposed to appear at a pre-Grammy Awards gala, police Lt. Mark Rosen said. She was pulled from the tub by members of her staff, and hotel security was promptly notified, Rosen said. She was pronounced dead about a half-hour later.

college in the vote-rich Northern Virginia suburbs. “We can cut back on the things that we don’t need, but we also have to make sure that everyone is paying their fair share for the things that we do need.”

Republicans were unimpressed.

“It seems like the president has decided again to campaign instead of govern and that he’s just going to duck this country’s fiscal problems,” said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, RWis. By the administration’s reckoning, the deficit would drop to $901 billion next year — still requiring

The Pentagon would cut purchases of Navy ships and F-35 Joint Strike Fighters — and trim 100,000 troops from its rolls over coming years — while NASA would scrap two missions to Mars.

But there are spending increases, too: The Obama plan seeks $476 billion for transportation projects including roads, bridges and a much-criticized high-speed rail initiative.

Grants for better performing schools would get a big increase under Obama’s “Race to the Top” initiative, and there would be an $8 billion fund to train community college students for high-growth industries.

Bombers target Israeli diplomats

By Josef Federman and Ravi Nessman Associated Press

NEW DELHI — Israel blamed Iran on Monday for bomb attacks on its diplomats’ cars in India and Georgia, heightening concerns that the Jewish state was moving closer to striking its archenemy.

Iran denied responsibility for the attacks that appeared to mirror the recent killings of Iranian nuclear scientists that Tehran blamed on Israel.

The blast in New Delhi set a car ablaze and injured four people, including an Israeli Embassy driver and a diplomat’s wife; the device in Georgia was discovered and safely defused.

“Iran is behind these attacks, and it is the largest terror exporter in the world,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

The violence added further tension to one of the globe’s most contentious

standoffs.

Iran has been accused of developing a nuclear weapons Netanyahu program that Israel says threatens the existence of the Jewish state. Tehran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Comments by Israeli officials in recent weeks have raised fears Israel might be preparing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. While Israel says it hopes international sanctions can curb Iran’s nuclear program, leaders pointedly note “all options are on the table” and have warned that as Iran moves closer to weapons capability, time is running out for action. Fearing an Israeli attack could set off a conflict across the region and send oil prices skyrocketing, U.S. and other Western countries have been pressing Israel to give sanctions more time.

Washington governor signs gay marriage bill into law

By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

OLYMPIA, WASH. — Gov. Chris Gregoire handed gay rights advocates a major victory Monday, signing into law a measure that legalizes same-sex marriage in Washington state, making it the seventh in the nation to allow gay and lesbian couples to wed.

Gregoire signed the bill surrounded by gay rights supporters. “I’m proud our same-sex couples will no longer be treated as separate but equal,” she said.

It’s a historic moment for the state, but same-sex couples can’t walk down the aisle just yet.

The law takes effect June 7, but opponents on multiple fronts already are preparing to fight.

Opponents filed Refer-

endum 73 Monday afternoon. If they collect the more than 120,577 valid voter signatures by June 6, the law will be put on hold pending the outcome of a November vote. Separately, an initiative was filed at the beginning of the legislative session that opponents of gay marriage say could also lead to the new law being overturned.

Gay marriage supporters said that while they are ready for a campaign battle, they are allowing themselves to celebrate first.

“You have to relish this moment,” said 31-year-old Bret Tiderman of Seattle.

The state reception room at the Capitol was packed with hundreds of gay rights supporters and at least 40 lawmakers from the House and Senate.

Sen. Ed Murray, a Se-

attle Democrat who is gay and has sponsored gay rights legislation for years, told the cheering crowd: “My friends, welcome to the other side of the rainbow. No matter what the future holds, nothing will take this moment in history away from us.”

As the Democratic governor signed the legislation, a man shouted, “Do not betray Christ!” However, his voice was overwhelmed by gay-marriage supporters who cheered and spoke loudly during his outburst.

Bob Struble, 68, of Bremerton, was removed from the room and said he was given a warning by security. Struble said he believes the state will halt gay marriage in a public vote. “We’ll be doing everything we can to overturn this unfortunate law,” he said.

Most of Romney’s top fundraisers remain anonymous

the government to borrow 24 cents of every dollar it spends — and would settle in the $600 billion-plus range by 2015. The deficit for the current budget year, which ends Sept. 30, would hit $1.3 trillion, a near record and the fourth straight year of trillionplus red ink.

Obama’s budget blueprint reprises a long roster of prior proposals: raising taxes on couples making more than $250,000 a year; eliminating numerous tax breaks for oil and gas companies and approving a series of smaller tax and fee proposals. Similar proposals failed even when the Democrats controlled Congress.

“

At the end of the day, candidates want money in their own campaign accounts because they have full control over how it is spent.”

— Paul Ryan, associate legal counsel at Campaign Legal Center Berman, the chairman of Ogilvy Government Relations and former Fannie Mae lobbyist who gathered $279,075 for Romney in 2011, these are wellconnected executives who collect or direct multiple individual contributions of up to $2,500 to a campaign in amounts that can range from $50,000 to more than $500,000.

The lack of disclosure prevents voters from knowing who wields influence within a presidential campaign. Keeping their identities secret could end up stinging Romney — like the mishandled release of his income tax returns — if voters conclude he is withholding politically damaging information.

Federal law requires only that candidates disclose the identities of bun-

dlers who also are registered lobbyists, which the Romney campaign has done. Berman and 15 other lobbyists representing a wide range of interests raised nearly $2.2 million for Romney in last year, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Their clients included investment firms and a mortgage processing company accused of “robo-signing” foreclosure documents.

But just as disclosing income tax statements is commonplace for leading presidential candidates, voluntarily identifying bundlers has also become standard practice.

A corporate executive or a Wall Street broker who acts as a bundler can wield just as much influence as a lobbyist.

Paul Ryan, associate legal counsel at the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center, said the rise of super PACs, which can’t lawfully coordinate their spending with a candidate’s campaign, haven’t diluted the importance of bundlers. “At the end of the day, candidates want money in their own campaign accounts because they have full control over how it is spent,” he said.

WASHINGTON — In an abrupt about-face, House GOP leaders announced Monday that they are willing to extend the 2 percentage point cut in the payroll tax through the end of the year and add the approximately $100 billion cost to the nation’s $15 trillion-plus debt.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy of California said that the House could vote on the payroll tax measure this week but that the fate of unemployment benefits for millions of the longterm jobless and efforts to forestall a scheduled cuts in fees to doctors who treat Medicare patients would remain in the hands of a House-Senate negotiating panel that’s looking for ways to pay for them.

The GOP statement came after intense talks this weekend failed to produce an agreement.

Republicans were pressing for pay cuts for federal workers and requiring them to contribute more to their pensions. They recoiled at a Democratic proposal to raise Trans-

“

Democrats’ refusal to agree to any spending cuts in the conference committee has made it necessary for us to prepare this fallback option to protect small business job creators and ensure taxes don’t go up on middle-class workers.”

“Democrats’ refusal to agree to any spending cuts in the conference committee has made it necessary for us to prepare this fallback option to protect small business job creators and ensure taxes don’t go up on middleclass workers,” the GOP leadership statement said.

Without action by Congress by the end of the month, payroll taxes will rise for 160 million Americans. The 2 percentage point tax cut delivers about $20 a week to a worker making $50,000 a year and a tax cut totaling $2,000 this year for someone making a $100,000 salary.

Democrats were encouraged and said the development could break an impasse over the payroll

tax proposal and the other expiring provisions.

“We’ve been making the point that when (it comes to) tax cuts for folks at the very top, the House Republicans went to great lengths to change their rules to say you don’t have to pay for those,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. “And yet they’ve been saying that when it comes to a short-term, 10-month payroll tax cut for middle-income people, all of a sudden you have to pay for it.”

“This is a major step forward in these negotiations,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. But Democrats also warned that decoupling the payroll tax from the larger legislation could jeopardize efforts to renew the jobless benefits and the fix to the Medicare payment formula.

On Valentine’s Day, a museum for broken hearts

Study trimming super-size with half-orders, plate colors WASHINGTON (AP) — Call it the alter-ego of supersizing.

Researchers infiltrated a fast-food Chinese restaurant and found up to a third of diners jumped at the offer of a half-size of the usual heaping pile of rice or noodles — even when the smaller amount cost the same.

Giant portion sizes are one of the culprits behind the epidemic of bulging waistlines, and nowhere is the portioncreep more evident than in restaurants with French fry-heavy meal deals or plates overflowing with pasta. Now scientists are tapping into the psychology of eating to find ways to trim portions without people feeling cheated — focusing on everything from the starchy sides to the color of the plates.

“The small Coke now is

what used to be a large 15 years ago,” laments psychologist Janet Schwartz, a marketing professor at Tulane University who led the Chinese food study. “We should ask people what portion size they want,” instead of large being the default.

RestauHEALTH rants are paying close attention, says prominent food-science researcher Brian Wansink of Cornell University. His own tests found children were satisfied with about half the fries in their Happy Meal long before McDonald’s cut back the size, and the calories, last year.

“We’ll be seeing some very creative ways of down-sizing in the next couple of years,” predicts

Wansink, author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.

Couldn’t you just get a doggie bag? Sure, if you’ve got the willpower to stop before your plate is mostly clean. Lots of research shows Americans don’t.

We tend to rely on visual cues about how much food is left, shoveling it in before the stomach-tobrain signal of “hey wait, I’m getting full” can arrive.

Other tricks can trim portions without people noticing, whether dining out or at home. Wansink found people served 18 percent more pasta with marinara sauce onto a red plate than a white one — and 18 percent more pasta alfredo onto a white plate.

A stark contrast “makes you think twice before you throw on another scoop,” explains Wansink.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Group inspecting Apple suppliers NEW YORK (AP) — Apple said Monday that an independent group, the Fair Labor Association, has started inspecting working conditions in the Chinese factories where its iPads and iPhones are assembled.

Amid growing criticism over labor and environmental practices — especially in China — Apple, last month, disclosed a list of suppliers for its popular gadgets for the first time.

The FLA team began the inspections Monday morning at Foxconn City

in Shenzhen, China, Apple said Monday. The complex employs and houses hundreds of thousands of workers.

Foxconn, a unit of Taiwan’s Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. employs an estimated 1 million to 1.1 million people in China at a series of huge factory campuses. Foxconn assembles iPads and iPhones for Apple, Xbox 360 gaming consoles for Microsoft and other gadgets for companies including HewlettPackard and Dell.

In 2010, there was a

rash of suicides at Foxconn’s Shenzhen plant.

Plant managers installed nets to prevent more people from committing suicide by jumping from the roof. A May explosion at the company’s Chengdu, China, plant killed three people and injured 15. A New York Times story published Jan. 26 reported on accidents and long hours in Foxconn factories, based on workers’ accounts. Foxconn disputed allegations of back-toback shifts and crowded living conditions.

ZAGREB, CROATIA — What becomes of a garden gnome hurled in fury at a car during a stormy breakup?

Or a teddy bear that was once a Valentine’s Day present? A wedding dress from a marriage gone awry?

An ax that smashed through household furniture?

All are on display at the Museum of Broken Relationships in the Croatian capital, each with written testimonies telling tales of passion, romance and heartbreak.

On Valentine’s Day, the museum sees its visits almost double.

“The objects that are here represent all the stages of a breakup ... and how people go through love,” said Drazen Grubisic, a designer and artist who co-founded the museum in 2010 in the Croatian capital.

“We might say it’s a love museum, just upside down,” he said.

The mementos, collected from all over the world, are random and varied, ranging from fake rubber breasts to a cast from a broken leg. Each item comes with dates and locations of the relationships, and notes by their anonymous donors.

Some are funny. The note next to a garter belt says: “I never put them on. The relationship might have lasted longer if I had.”

Some are bitter. The garden gnome flew over a car driven by a husband who turned “arrogant and heartless.” It bounced on the asphalt, shattering its face.

“It was a long loop, drawing an arc of time ... that defined the end of

A DAMAGED GARDEN GNOME IS DISPLAYED at the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia, in this photo taken Friday. The exhibits, collected from all over the world, are random and varied, ranging from fake breasts to a cast from a broken leg. Each item is accompanied by a summary of dates and locations of the relationships, and notes written by their anonymous donors.

An ax from Berlin was used by a woman to smash every piece of furniture her girlfriend had left behind.

“The more the room filled with chopped furniture, (the more) I felt better.”

The text by a blue frisbee reads: “Darling, should you ever get the ridiculous idea to walk into a cultural institution like a museum for the first time in your life, you’ll remember me.”

The museum, located just across from Zagreb’s City Hall where couples get married, currently displays some 100 “relics” out of about 1,000 that have been collected from around the world.

Parts of the collection have traveled as far as Manila, London and Singapore to be put on display.

In each city, the heartbroken can donate their stuff to the Zagreb museum.

U.S. sees hurdles in peacekeeping in Syria WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Monday it backs Arab League plans to end ongoing violence in Syria but noted several obstacles to deploying a proposed international peacekeeping force to the country and stopped short of a full endorsement of the idea.

The administration has said repeatedly it does not see a military solution to the crisis in Syria, yet U.S. officials indicated they would consider the Arab League call for peacekeepers and discuss it with various countries to see

whether such an idea is feasible. However, they stressed there would be difficulties in getting required U.N. Security Council authorization for a force.

Chief among the hurdles is opposition by Russia and China, which vetoed a far less ambitious Security Council action earlier this month. Russia has said peacekeepers could not be sent without Syrian government approval; officials in Damascus have already rejected the proposal, calling it unjustified interference in internal affairs.

Ongoing effort The Lawrence Boys and Girls Club deserves the community’s thanks for the difference it has made for local youngsters over the last 40 years.

F

orty years after its founding, the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club isn’t just a local fixture; it’s an agency that continues to expand and innovate to meet the growing needs of Lawrence youngsters.

In 1972, some people in Lawrence saw a need and, as so often happens in this community, set about to fill that need.

The racial violence that erupted in Lawrence in 1970 prompted some local residents to take a look at a club that would give boys a safe place to go where they could participate in a variety of activities after school. Initially the club was just for boys, but the organizers successfully made the transition to including girls a few years later.

In recent years, the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club has become the city’s primary provider of after-school programs in the city. In addition to running a teen center at its main location at 1520 Haskell Ave., the club operates after-school programs at 10 local elementary schools and the former East Heights School.

It was a big decision to seek the federal grants to establish those programs, and the club’s board should be commended for having the courage to step in and try to fill a significant community need. The after-school programs have an educational component, but perhaps their most important benefit is that they provide a safe, supervised environment that working parents can trust to care for their children.

Over the years, many staff members and volunteers have provided the vision, leadership and energy needed to make the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club a success, and their efforts have made a difference in the lives of thousands of local youngsters. Congratulations to those who saw the need for such an organization and to all those who have helped it prosper for the last 40 years.

Ike was both common, extraordinary In World War II, he tamed America’s allies and conquered its adversaries. As a conservative college president, he defended liberal professors caught in a virulent red scare. As NATO commander, he projected strength without projecting force. In the White House, he presided over the sort of peace and prosperity that today’s presidential candidates can’t plausibly promise.

Now, Dwight David Eisenhower, seldom the center of contention, is at the nexus of a controversy that raises vital questions about the character of capital memorials, the nature of historical remembrance and the relationship between a national figure’s origins and destiny.

All because the design for the Eisenhower Memorial in Washington includes a statue of him as a barefoot boy from Kansas.

Nobody contests that Eisenhower rose from humble Abilene at a time when its unpaved streets retained a whiff of the Chisholm Trail cow drives, though the saloons and dance halls were sufficiently in the past to allow the town of 3,500 to employ only one police officer.

Eisenhower seldom thought of himself as a barefoot boy, perhaps because there actually was, in Ike’s time, a Republican known as the barefoot boy. He was Wendell Willkie, the GOP’s 1940 presidential nominee from Wall Street by way of Elwood, Ind.

Westerns or West Point?

Though the Eisenhowers spent White House evenings in front of tray tables watching Westerns on television, the truth is that the president was shaped more

by West Point than by the town that helped make Wild Bill Hickok famous. Even so, part of the Eisenhower elan was his irresistible mix of the common and the uncommon, so much so that Stephen E. Ambrose opened his twovolume Eisenhower biography this way in 1983: “His heritage was ordinary,

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

It is true that Eisenhower was like so many others of his time and place. But that’s ultimately why the barefoot-boy motif seems so discordant, so at odds with our notions of decorum in civic statuary.” his parents were humble folk, his childhood was typical of thousands of other youngsters growing up around the turn of the century, and most of his career was humdrum and unrewarded. On the surface, everything about him appeared to be average.”

Memorial controversy This may be why the barefoot-boy image has resonance in some quarters, including among art professionals weary of the sterile style of Washington monuments, particularly the World War II memorial, whose granite pillars and basrelief panels are a special target of criticism.

It is true that Eisenhower was like so many others of his time and place. But that’s ultimately why the barefoot-boy motif seems so discordant, so at odds with our notions of decorum in civic statuary.

Eisenhower was, after that boyhood, not at all like so many others, or any other American of his time or any other time. The reason we celebrate him nearly a century after he left West Point is not that he was unremarkable. We celebrate him because of what he did with that ordinary heritage, with the lessons of his humble parents and the childhood that was so typical.

David Eisenhower, a University of Pennsylvania historian and biographer, said the family is proud of his grandfather’s heartland roots. “There are 3,000 ways you can do an Eisenhower memorial,” he said of the controversy in a phone conversation the other afternoon. “Combining a military career of that stature and a two-term presidency is no easy task.”

But Eisenhower, his sister Anne (a professional designer), his sister Susan (an expert on Russian-American relations), and his father John (the president’s son) are united in arguing that the memorial should reflect Eisenhower’s extraordinary record more than his ordinary roots.

More than meets the eye Because, along with all his accomplishments, there was always more to Eisenhower than met the eye — especially the eyes of historians.

“Although Eisenhower, with his big grin, looked like a gregarious soul,” Michael Korda wrote in his 2007 biography, “this was in part a facade, or a protective mechanism, like a lot of things about him.”

After all, here was a man at the center of American and world politics in the center of the American Century — the personification first of our innocence and ingenuity and then of our power and prerogatives from World War II through the first third of the Cold War. In Eisenhower’s time, and in part at his bidding, the United States moved from a peripheral to a principal role in bigpower politics, even as it harnessed its industrial might to produce a consumer economy and confronted its past to reconcile its soaring ideals with its sordid racial reality.

Through it all, Eisenhower possessed an alluring selfconfidence that his countrymen came to share, a carefree air that pervaded the nation at home even as tensions simmered abroad, a managerial mien that suited the times or, just as likely, shaped the times.

“He appeared to be performing less work than he did because he knew instinctively which matters required his attention and which could be delegated to subordinates,” Jean Edward Smith wrote in a new biography to be published later this month. “His experience as supreme commander taught him to use experts without being intimidated by them. He structured matters so that he always had the last word. ... The lines of authority were clear, the national interest was broadly defined and there was no buck passing.”

For a long time — even in his own time — Eisenhower was the subject of ridicule. The consensus, especially among the opinion-makers who preferred the sometimes serious and sometimes sardonic Adlai Stevenson, who lost two elections to Eisenhower, was that the 34th president’s speech was plain, his vision uninspiring, his style unengaged, his personality lacking flash and finesse.

Stevenson was pate de foie gras to Eisenhower’s Salisbury steak with a side of mixed peas, corn and carrots — and in truth Swanson came out with the TV dinner, a special favorite of the Eisenhowers, the very year he became president.

Ike’s legacy But for all that, Eisenhower now is regarded as a successful chief executive and his record is admired by his successors and historians alike.

He helped to win World War II and helped to preserve the peace, and a career without peer deserves a memorial that matches the man and his achievements.

“We’re not speaking to ourselves right now,” Susan Eisenhower said. “We’re speaking to future generations. So we need to think about what Eisenhower meant to this country.”

He lived his past as a barefoot boy in Abilene. But with his signature American confidence, in both flip-flops and wingtips, he helped create the future we now tread.

To the editor: Missing thus far from the discussion of Westar’s latest rate increase request is the larger issue of how electricity is produced for Lawrence and Douglas County. In my travels around the United States and abroad I always boast that Lawrence is the finest place to live in Kansas and one of the finest places in our country. I have in mind primarily its outstanding school system, public services, cultural advantages, downtown shopping, Kansas University and Haskell, tolerance for diversity, and even the efficiency and courtesy with which we receive electric power in our homes and workplaces.

Unfortunately, I always have to make an exception and apologies for the fact that our main electricity-producing facility is powered by burning coal, the dirtiest of fossil fuels, all of which add relentlessly

divisive charge to decide who among them will be sacrificed in this the latest round of school closures. It is a painful exercise to behold. And it was clear from the outset that any consensus born of such a cynical process would never accurately reflect the will of the people. We are a community animated by optimism and self-sacrifice, not division. It is time to change courses.

Members of the working group, unite as one voice in opposition to your charge and recommend a new process designed to harness the creative energy of unity. Announce that you are rejecting the district’s false choices and begin to explore all available options. Send a clear message to the school board that this community will no longer entertain school consolidation proposals unless and until the district has presented To the editor: a convincing case for action The school consolidation grounded in reliable data, rigworking group is now in full orous research and profescrisis mode, toiling under its sional feasibility analysis. Use

to the concentration of greenhouse gases that cause global warming and threaten our planet. When will the managers of Westar, representing not only themselves and their stockholders, announce that in the near future they will convert their plant from coal to a less pollutant fuel?

I recommend a combination of solar, with photovoltaic cells for storage, wind and hydroelectric, all of which (sunlight, wind, water) we have, thank God, in abundance. A dab of natural gas could perhaps be added to the mixture.

If Westar lacks the will for this far-seeing transformation, perhaps we voters should consider converting the power plant into a municipal facility.

Gerald Mikkelson, Lawrence

Divisive task

your remaining time together to develop standards and procedural safeguards that shift the burden away from the public and onto the district, where it belongs.

We have the opportunity to rise above the din of manufactured crisis and start building the framework for a dynamic new school planning model, one that not only advances our educational goals but also helps shape smart, sustainable growth in Lawrence for years to come. If the working group would take the lead, the school board would surely follow.

Trevor Wohlford, Lawrence

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR POPS HIS JERSEY as he leaves the court following the Jayhawks’ 59-53 victory over Kansas State. KU completed a sweep of the Sunflower Showdown on Monday at Bramlage Coliseum.

Taylor talks it up after KU victory

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

MANHATTAN — Tyshawn Taylor stared into the boisterous Kansas State student section late Monday night in Bramlage Coliseum, pulling out his jersey and the word “Kansas” in the direction of those who tried to make his life oh-so-miserable the previous two hours.

“They had their time to talk to me while I was warming up and during the game, so I figured I had my time to talk to them a little bit after the game. After we get a win, it’s my time to talk a little bit,” Taylor, Kansas University’s senior guard, said with a smile — after collecting 20 points and five assists against three turnovers in 37

minutes of the Jayhawks’ 5953 victory over the Wildcats.

He hit a pair of crucial threes to open an 11-0 run that erased a 37-36 secondhalf deficit with 11:49 left and gave the Jayhawks the lead for good.

Taylor — who missed the front end of a pair of 1-on-1 free-throw situations in the final 1:03 as KSU cut KU’s lead to 55-51 before Thomas Robinson cashed two big charities at :21.3 — was “terrific,” coach Bill Self said after his Jayhawks improved to 21-5 overall and 11-2 in the Big 12. KSU dropped to 17-8, 6-7.

You might even transform from a lamb in retreat to a charging bull.

That’s how Jeff Withey responded to the punitive Self, a football coach who dresses, smiles and sees the court like a basketball coach.

Withey went scoreless in the fall-from-ahead loss at Missouri. Since that game, he has averaged 20.3 points, 12 rebounds and 6.3 blocked shots, stringing together three dominant performances.

Jayhawks lose Davis for remainder of year

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS FRESHMAN CHELSEA GARDNER, LEFT, IS HOUNDED by Kansas State’s Chantay Caron during their game Sunday in Manhattan.

Kansas University women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson has said throughout the season that freshman forward Chelsea Gardner reminds her of a younger Carolyn Davis.

Now, Henrickson — KU’s the eighth-year coach — will get to see how much.

Early Monday afternoon, Henrickson announced that Davis, a junior forward from Houston who led KU in scoring (17.5 points per game)

and ranked in the top five nationally in field-goal percentage (60.2), would miss the rest of the 2011-12 season after suffering a dislocated left knee and torn anterior cruciate ligament during the Davis early minutes of Sunday’s 47-43 loss at Kansas State.

When the Jayhawks play

at Iowa State on Wednesday, the 6-foot-3 Gardner will start in Davis’ spot.

Until then, Henrickson and crew will spend every waking minute trying to come up with a plan for moving on without their All-Big-12-caliber forward.

“We have other games that we have to tend to, and we have to figure out how we’re gonna work around this and just come together as a team,” senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. “We have talented people on this team.

Carolyn was in the spotlight,

but now we have other people that can come into the spotlight, and we’re going to have be more of a play-witheverybody type team.”

The Jayhawks did that well Sunday, using scrappy defense and pride to take K-State to the wire. Henrickson said a similar approach would be a big part of the recipe to play without Davis, but also talked about the need for individuals not named Angel Goodrich to elevate their games.

MWC, C-USA to form new league

By Frank Schwab The Gazette

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — Faced with dwindling membership, the schools in the Mountain West and Conference USA decided there could be strength in banding together.

The Mountain West office announced that its members and the teams in Conference USA plan to form a new athletic conference.

The leagues announced last year it planned on a football-only alliance, basically hoping to pit its first-place teams against each other in a championship game.

With the Mountain West’s mem-

bership down to eight teams and Conference USA losing Memphis to the Big East last week, the presidents and chancellors from the 16 schools that remained met Sunday and agreed to work toward forming a league. Of the 16 teams in the league, 15 will compete in all sports and Hawaii will be a member for football only.

The presidents signed a nonbinding letter of agreement to work on forming the league, which would begin at the start of the 2013-14 school year.

There are still hurdles before the league is formed, such as applying for automatic qualifier status in NCAA championships in all sports other than football

(the league will be in the Football Bowl Subdivision), and the wording of the announcement gives insight into potential issues with current television partners of the two conferences.

The move wasn’t announced as a merger between the leagues, but the university presidents deciding to form a new conference. The new league will likely try to get a new television deal, although that could be challenged by old partners. “There are a myriad of details and moving parts that will be finalized in the weeks and months ahead, but there is positive momentum toward long-term stability and a tremendous opportunity

for all involved,� Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson said in a statement.

The new conference brings about some interesting possibilities, other than survival, with each having lost key members the past two years.

The league plans to have a football championship game, with a semifinal round. No other conference in the FBS has that type of playoff setup.

The announcement said the league will “likely include� 18-24 members, which means further expansion is planned. Although the league will be larger, rivalries will be preserved because the teams will be in divisions.

PHILADELPHIA — Jeremy Lin. Did the mere mention of his name make you smile? Cringe?

Shrug?

How about Tim Tebow?

Now that a few weeks have passed since the Denver quarterback dominated every sports-related conversation, can you hear his name without an immediate smile, cringe, or shrug?

The real question for today isn’t about your opinions regarding these two out-ofnowhere sports phenoms.

The question is why everyone feels the need to have one, and whether that artificial divide between pro- and anti- is ruining our simple enjoyment of sports.

If the Tebow thing was a legitimately compelling story buried under an avalanche of hype and contrived controversy - how about a new word: contriversy? - the Lin thing feels like that, only on fast forward.

To wit: My social media feeds blew up with sick-of-Linhype comments almost simultaneously with the first flush of Lin-is-awesome comments. The backlash started at nearly the same moment as the lash itself.

Technology and the worst parts of our nature now allow us to overreact with enthusiasm and skepticism and cynicism in the time it takes your smartphone to refresh your Twitter feed.

So I knew people were sick of Lin before I fully understood who Lin was or what the New York Knicks guard was doing.

This would all be easily shrugged off if it were isolated to sports. Sadly, though, the same dynamic pretty much applies to everything in the US of ADD, from presidential politics to pop music. For the sake of sanity (or Linsanity!), we’re going to color inside the lines and stick to sports here.

The shouting-head thing is hardly new. ESPN turned that tiresome format into a regular part of its programming years ago. There’s nothing wrong with debating issues. The problem is, the format forces the panelists to invent issues.

The shows only work if there is the appearance of conflict and controversy.

Contriversy.

What is new is this: Social media such as Twitter and Facebook have put millions of people in the same position as those shouting heads on ESPN and the radio. There’s no sense tweeting unless you take a position.

Lin is a great story, defying every expectation and going on a tear through the NBA. Maybe it won’t last. Maybe it will. Point is, everyone would be better off waiting more than 15 minutes to pronounce judgment.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, my Twitter feed is blowing up.

KENTUCKY FORWARD ANTHONY DAVIS (23) AND MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST CELEBRATE during UK’s game against Vanderbilt on Saturday in Nashville, Tenn. Kentucky, which won, 69-63, stayed at No. 1 in the latest AP Top 25 poll.

Kentucky, ‘Cuse top AP poll; WSU breaks in Kentucky and Syracuse remain Nos. 1 and 2 in The Associated Press’ Top 25, and Wichita State and Notre Dame are ranked for the first time this season.

The Wildcats received 63 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel on Monday, while the Orange got the others.

Missouri moves up one spot to third and is followed by Kansas, Duke, Ohio State, Michigan State, North Carolina, Baylor and Georgetown.

Notre Dame, winner of six straight and ranked as high as fourth last season, is No. 23. Wichita State, which has won 12 of 13 and is ranked for the first time since 2007, and Gonzaga, which returns after being out for one week, are tied for 24th.

Creighton, loserof three straight, dropped out from 17th. Mississippi State fell out from 20th and Harvard from 25th.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Baylor holds steady at No. 1 After a crazy week in which 15 of the Top 25 teams lost, Baylor remains the unanimous No. 1 choice in the Associated Press women’s college basketball poll.

The Lady Bears received all the first-place votes Monday for the 11th straight week after routing Oklahoma and Texas A&M. Baylor, the lone remaining unbeaten team, plays Oklahoma State and Texas Tech this week.

Connecticut moved up a spot to second after Notre Dame lost to West Virginia. The Huskies visit the Sooners on Monday night.

Stanford was third followed by the Irish, who dropped two spots to fourth, and Duke. Miami, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio State and Delaware rounded out the first 10.

Wisconsin-Green Bay fell two places to 11th after its first loss. Penn State made the biggest jump, climbing six places to 12th.

No. 23 BYU and No. 24 DePaul re-entered the rankings. Gonzaga and North Carolina fell out.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS

N.D. files ‘Fighting Sioux’ lawsuit BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota’s Board of Higher Education voted Monday to sue to try to block a state law requiring the University of North Dakota’s athletics teams to be called the Fighting Sioux.

The board approved the lawsuit after meeting by telephone with state Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, who said he was confident the law violates the state Constitution.

The university has been trying to retire the nickname and a separate logo that shows an American Indian warrior’s square-jawed profile.

Last November, the North Dakota Legislature repealed a state law that required UND to use the nickname and logo.

However, nickname supporters filed referendum petitions last week with North Dakota’s secretary of state, Al Jaeger, to revive the pronickname law. It is now back in effect.

If Jaeger decides the petitions are valid, the question could be put on North Dakota’s June 12 statewide primary election ballot.

BASEBALL

Yanks look to trade Burnett NEW YORK — A person familiar with the discussions says the New York Yankees and Pirates are making progress toward a trade that would send much-maligned pitcher A.J. Burnett to Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh would pay at least $10 million of the $33 million Burnett is owed in the final two seasons of his $82.5 million, five-year contract, the person says, speaking on condition of anonymity because talks are ongoing.

Oakland signs OF Cespedes OAKLAND, CALIF. — After a winter of rebuilding, the Oakland Athletics were the surprise winner for Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes.

Cespedes and the A’s have agreed to a $36 million, four-year contract — quite a splash for the low-budget franchise that traded away several key faces this offseason.

Agent Adam Katz confirmed Monday the slugging outfielder had reached agreement on a deal, with details still to be finalized. This is a significant move for Oakland, which wanted to add a steady hitter.

Ortiz to stay with Red Sox BOSTON — David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox have avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract worth $14,575,000.

The deal was midway between the $16.5 million the designated hitter asked for last month and the $12.65 million submitted by the Red Sox, which matched his 2011 earnings.

FOOTBALL

Randy Moss plans comeback CHARLESTON, W.VA. — Randy Moss once said, “I play when I want to play.�

Six months after retiring, the veteran NFL wide receiver wants to play again.

Moss announced on a webchat Monday — his 35th birthday — that he’s planning a comeback.

His agent, Joel Segal, wouldn’t go into his client’s available options.

Moss retired last August, compiling 14,858 receiving yards and 153 touchdowns in 13 seasons.

He last played in 2010, getting traded by the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings before finishing the season with Tennessee. That year he had career lows of 28 catches for 393 yards.

His 23 TD catches in 2007 with the Patriots are a single-season NFL record.

Former 49er Solomon dies SAN FRANCISCO — Freddie Solomon, the former Miami Dolphins and 49ers wide receiver who became known as “Fabulous Freddie� and committed himself to community service, has died. He was 59.

Solomon lived in Florida and had battled cancer over the past year. The 49ers announced his death Monday.

Withey Martin: Game was ‘men’ vs. ‘kids’ 1 block short NOTEBOOK

MANHATTAN — After his team took a one-point lead in the second half, Kansas State coach Frank Martin said he saw one main difference between Kansas and KSU: maturity.

“That’s the difference when you’ve got grown men playing for you,” Martin said following KSU’s 59-53 loss to KU on Monday night. “It makes our guys look like little kids in those moments.”

The Jayhawks went on an 11-0 run at that point,

turning a 37-36 deficit into a 47-37 lead.

There were a couple of reasons for KSU’s breakdown.

The first points in the run came from Tyshawn Taylor, who was able to beat the shot clock with an open three-pointer after KSU’s Angel Rodriguez tried to draw an offensive foul.

“Angel tries to flop on a charge, and Tyshawn looks at him when he falls down, says, ‘Thanks for making my job easy,’ and sticks a three,” Martin said. “Then he comes

down and sticks another three.”

Kansas State also couldn’t figure out how to attack a new KU defense.

With KSU’s Shane Southwell on the court — a guard with limited offensive skills — KU coach Bill Self switched to a triangle-and-two defense that allowed Southwell to run free.

Against the set, the Wildcats missed their next six shots with a turnover.

“Those junk defenses — and I say that in a nice way, not in a negative way

— they’re made to get you to stand around,” Martin said. “When you’ve got guys that don’t know what to do against it, now you’ve got to run a different offense. Then you come out of a timeout, and you still don’t run the right offense ... It got the mission accomplished.”

Martin was quick to take on responsibility for his team’s second-half “self-destruction,” saying the Wildcats should have been better prepared for KU’s change-up.

“That defense is designed to try to take away

the guys that get you into offense and get you to be passive, and that’s what it did to us,” Martin said.

“We got passive.”

Martin also bemoaned his team’s poor first-half shooting. KSU made just seven of 31 field goals (23 percent) and one of eight threes (13 percent) before halftime. The Wildcats trailed, 28-18, at the break.

“I told our guys (at halftime), ‘I don’t know what to tell you. You’ve got an open shot, you’ve got to make it,’” Martin said. “It’s plain and simple.”

The players tough enough to handle the coach’s high standards tend to get a lot better playing for Self and his staff, as evidenced by Robinson’s huge junior season and Tyshawn Taylor’s exceptional Big 12 play that Self referenced when asked about Withey. But as far as going from zero to 61 in three games spanning six days, Withey’s pedal-tothe-metal sprint to prominence blows the mind.

“For somebody who has kind of come out of left field, I don’t know if I can remember anybody be as dominant, to go from scoreless to now: How do you win without him?” Self said. “Such a bonus for us because Thomas trusts him, and

those two should get better playing with each other as (Withey) continues to produce and take pressure off of (Robinson).”

Withey’s not done developing. Once he starts taking and making the open 15-footers — Self twice has selected him to shoot technical free throws, including in the second half Monday — he’ll become even tougher to guard on a team that already has Robinson and Taylor giving defenses fits.

This KU team is so much better than anybody could have guessed, and Withey and the guy who drove him to be tougher than anybody could have guessed deserve a great deal of the credit.

MANHATTAN — Kansas University junior center Jeff Withey nearly had a triple-double on the same day he was named Big 12 player of the week.

“I’m gonna get it ... sooner or later,” Withey said, smiling, after scoring 18 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and blocking nine shots in KU’s 59-53 victory Monday at Kansas State.

The 7-footer from San Diego earned top-conference-player honors in a vote of media covering the league. It marks the first conference weekly accolade for Withey and sixth time in 2011-12 that a Jayhawk has earned mention.

Withey — who scored a career-high 25 points against Baylor and grabbed a career-best 20 rebounds against Oklahoma State — joins Thomas Robinson, Tyshawn Taylor and Travis Releford in earning player-of-the-week honors this season. Robinson has won the award three times, while Taylor, Releford and Withey won once each this season.

This is the first time in conference history four players from the same school have been named player of the week in the same season.

“He had a fabulous week,” KU coach Bill Self said. “Guys who play well a week or have a big game have to learn to sustain over time. Hopefully, he’ll sustain that over time.”

needed him to do. By night’s end, he fell one blocked shot short of a triple-double, totaling 18 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocks in KU’s 59-53, blue-collar, black-andblue body, victory against the Wildcats. That effort came hours after Withey was named Big 12 Player of the Week.

Withey opened a window into a recent punishment he endured in practice.

“Right before we went to Waco, I think I didn’t get a rebound,” Withey said. “He said, ‘Go touch every stair in the build-

ing.’ So I started running.

Ever since then … I know coach and my teammates depend on me to play great. I picked it up. I don’t want to be running bleachers anymore. The Missouri game, I don’t want anything like that to ever happen again.”

Withey reached the conclusion that running into harm’s way in a game with teammates surrounding him beats running stairs by himself, getting humiliated in front of the guys whose approval he most desires.

“I’m serious, less than a week ago he’s touching every stair in the building because he would not try to go after the ball,” Self said. “Players are in his face going after him.

All the sudden, you make

a couple of baskets and get confidence. He’s been great.”

Self wasn’t the only coach marveling at Withey’s sudden emergence.

“As a coach, I root for guys to get better,” Kansas State coach Frank Martin said. “Obviously, when we’re playing against him, you’re not rooting for him. But as a fan of the game, as a guy who tries to teach kids the game, when you see a guy play with the confidence that young man is playing with, to make that improvement … That was a guy who couldn’t get in a game last year. Bill used to try to play him. He couldn’t. He would put him in the game, and he’d have to take him out.”

And now?

“Now he’s dominating the game,” Martin said.

“He’s not just playing. He’s dominating Big 12 games. I don’t think there’s a big kid in the country that does what he does for his team right now.”

Aside from senior Jamar Samuels (20 points), K-State couldn’t shoot straight, but the Wildcats competed hard, defended ruggedly, brought everything it had. Withey didn’t retreat once.

“He played really good against Baylor, and he played really good against Okie State, but he was a lot better tonight,” Self said. “This was a bigboy game, and he had 18, 11 and nine on a night Thomas wasn’t Thomas.

I thought he was just fabulous.”

76ers 98, Bobcats 89 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Lou Williams scored 23 points off the bench as Philadelphia built an early lead and held on to send the Bobcats to their 15th straight defeat.

Thaddeus Young added 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting, and Jrue Holiday chipped in with 19 points for the 76ers (20-9).

Williams was averaging 19 points over the previous four games. He stayed hot Monday night, making several big shots including a three-pointer with 6:11 remaining after the Bobcats had pulled within 71-69.

KU 15th through two days J-W Staff Reports

ORLANDO — Kansas University’s women’s golf team moved up to 15th place out of 18 teams at the the UCF Challenge on Monday, the second day of the three-day event.

Thanuttra Boonraksasat led KU in the second round with a 1-over-73. Her tworound 5-over-149 is tied for 43rd place with fellow Jayhawk Katy Nugent.

KU will tee off at 8 a.m. today.

Davis CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“We can’t sit here and ask Chelsea to be Carolyn Davis overnight,” Henrickson said. “We’ve gotta get more out of (junior guard) Monica (Engelman). (Freshman guard) Natalie (Knight) has to be more aggressive. Aishah needs to be who she was in that second half (Sunday) more consistently.

And honestly we gotta get more out of (freshman guard) Asia Boyd.”

Boyd, the highest-rated recruit during Henrickson’s time at Kansas, did not play during Sunday’s loss, in which the Jayhawks scored a seasonlow 43 points without their leading scorer. Henrickson said that would change in the near future.

“We’ve gotta get her on the floor and let her work a little bit, because at least she has an aggressive mind-set,” Henrickson said.

As for Davis’ role in all of this, Henrickson expects her star forward to go above and beyond what’s required in helping her team cope with life without her. In many ways, that started Sunday night when the Jayhawks (17-7 overall, 6-6 Big 12) visited Davis in the hospital. Her support continued into Monday and doesn’t figure to stop any time soon.

“She sent me a text with a thumbs up and a smiley face,” Henrickson said Monday. “She’s trying to help us, and that speaks to her. That’s who she is.”

Added Gardner: “Reality set in today when I saw that she was not here at practice. I really don’t know the effect it’s having on her, but she wanted to motivate us as a team and just told us to keep going.”

partner or because topical treatments have not resolved the common problem of vaginal dryness, which can cause pain during intercourse.

— Carole Wade, Ph.D. Dear Dr. Wade: We do not take issue with the fact that post-menopausal women can be interested in sex. In fact, we encourage it. We do, however, disagree with “Sex Therapist’s” comment that losing interest is a myth.

We are delighted the study showed that 28 percent of women still have an active libido into their 70s (and presumably beyond). But it is hardly a myth that hormones are depleted as we age, and many post-menopausal women lose interest for a variety of reasons. According to our readers, those who have a healthy sex life are generally using some form of hormone replacement. We need to acknowledge

Affair changed America Folks who confuse life in the 1950s with “Leave It to Beaver” should not miss the powerful and moving documentary “The Loving Story” (8 p.m., HBO).

In 1958, construction worker Richard Loving married his sweetheart, Mildred. Five weeks later, they were arrested. At the time, Virginia was one of 16 states that forbid marriage between white people and, to use the terminology of the time, “colored.” Richard was white. Mildred was of black and American Indian extraction. After a short time in jail, they were exiled from the commonwealth.

The Lovings moved to Washington, D.C., but disliked its city ways.

In 1963, the shy and apolitical Mildred sent a letter to then U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Moved by their plight, Kennedy suggested they contact the American Civil Liberties Union.

For nearly four years, the ACLU helped the Lovings take their case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

On June 12, 1967, the court struck down state anti-miscegenation laws, making the Lovings’ marriage finally legitimate in the eyes of their beloved Virginia.

Vintage film stocks give “The Loving Story” an antique feel. But some issues still reverberate, and some of the arguments have a familiar ring. The people shown in the film who believed the Lovings belonged in jail were convinced they had God on their side and were defending America and civilization from unnatural acts that would lead to their decay and decline.

this reality and not make women feel freakish or inadequate if they experience a drop in libido and hormones are not an option.

Plenty of readers weighed in on this hot topic. Read on: From Florida: My husband and I had always had a wonderful sex life together, and I wasn’t about to give it up because of menopause.

But I did not want to take any oral hormone therapy with its risks. I discovered that using an over-the-counter progesterone cream from my local health food store and a prescription estrogen cream twice a week totally “cured” my

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Feb. 14: This year you become more aware of your public image. Attempt to groom it to be more in line with your goals. You will experience a newfound popularity and success. If you are single, you will draw someone much more akin to your needs, probably after spring 2012. If attached, you and your significant other could grow much closer if focusing on a common goal. SAGITTARIUS is your friend.

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) Let others initiate. If you are not comfortable with the conversation, do not close it off or say “no.” Give yourself time to detach and understand this person’s logic.

Tonight: A new idea works.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Whether you are working or just enjoying yourself, you are surrounded by people — admirers and supporters. Clearly you are needed, desired or wanted. You can pick and choose only so much as to where, when and what. Tonight: Accept a dinner invitation.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Plunge into a project, knowing full well that you have other matters you would prefer to attend to. Clear this matter out, along with anything else that might prevent you from being carefree and a bit impulsive in the near future. Think positively. Tonight: Be where you want to be.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might have delivered some Valentine’s Day cookies to a loved one or some friends this morning. Use this day to let others know you care.

Tonight: You will be tired.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to stay at home or sleep in. Some of you actually might follow through on this desire. Those of you who don’t, wish you had. Tonight: Add some love into the mix.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

lagging sexual desire.

Michigan: I am 51, and my best friend is 61. We both still love sex. We think you only hear from women who don’t want it anymore. They probably didn’t like it much to begin with.

Florida: I am so sick of hearing how great sex in later life can be. I really enjoyed sex in my younger years, but not anymore. I have to use cream because of dryness and then take an antibiotic every time so I don’t get an infection.

The fireworks that used to accompany sex have become duds. I still love him, but having sex at 67 is more bother than it is worth.

Dear Annie: “Sex Therapist” does not need a refresher course.

You are mistaken when you say that the “vast majority” of older women lose interest in sex.

The Harvard Women’s Health Watch newsletter reported that in a survey of 27,000 women enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), more than 60 percent of women in their 50s, 45 percent of those in their 60s and 28 percent of women in their 70s reported that they were sexually active, and almost two-thirds said they were happy with their level of sexual activity. Of those who were dissatisfied, more than half said they would prefer having sex more often.
