Additional resources eliminate wait time, expand clinic services By Karrey Britt

Uninsured residents no longer have to turn to Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s emergency room for medical care. There is now no wait for an appointment at Health Care Access, a medical clinic that serves lowincome, uninsured Douglas County residents across the street from the ER at 330 Maine. For the past two years, the average wait for an appointment at Health Care Access was three months — unless you were one of the lucky few to get a slot left open for acute care. Those few slots were filled within minutes of turning on the phones. In late January, Health Care Access added a nurse practitioner, nurse and office assistant, thanks to $300,000 in donations and grants. The addition-

al staff allowed the clinic to expand hours. The clinic went from 272 on-site medical appointments in January to 503 in February. “I am just tickled that there was an immediate change to our wait time. That was one of the goals because people were turning to the emergency room if they couldn’t get in, and it exceeded our expectations,” said Nikki King, executive director. Health Care Access continues to expand its wellness and mental health services by adding staff and volunteers. In 2010, there were 113 appointments for mental health, and 155 for wellness. The clinic’s next goals are to reach out to uninsured residents who

Japan suspends work at stricken nuclear plant By Eric Talmadge and Shino Yuasa Associated Press Writers

FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN — Japan suspended operations to keep its stricken nuclear plant from melting down today after surging radiation made it too dangerous to stay. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the workers dousing the reactors in a frantic effort to cool them needed to withdraw. “The workers cannot carry out even minimal work at the plant now,” Edano said. “Because of the radiation risk we are on standby.” The nuclear crisis has triggered international alarm and partly overshadowed the human tragedy caused by Friday’s earthquake and tsunami, which

pulverized Japan’s northeastern coastline, killing an estimated 10,000 people and severely damaging the nuclear plant. Since then, authorities have tried frantically to avert an environmental catastrophe at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex in northeastern Japan, 140 miles north of Tokyo. Edano said the government expects to ask the U.S. military for help. He did not elaborate. He said the government is still considering whether and how to take up the various offers of help from other countries. The surge in radiation was apparently the result of a Tuesday fire in the complex’s Unit 4 reactor, according to officials with Japan’s nuclear safety agency. That blast is thought to have damaged

the reactor’s suppression chamber, a water-filled pipe outside the nuclear core that is part of the emergency cooling system. Officials had originally planned use helicopters and fire trucks to spray water in a desperate effort to prevent further radiation leaks and to cool down the reactors. “It’s not so simple that everything will be resolved by pouring in water. We are trying to avoid creating other problems,” Edano said. “We are actually supplying water from the ground, but supplying water from above involves pumping lots of water and that involves risk. We also have to consider the safety of the helicopters above,” he said. A U.S. nuclear expert said he feared the worst. “It’s more of a surrender,” said David Lochbaum, a

nuclear engineer who now heads the nuclear safety program for the Union of Concerned Scientists, an activist group. “It’s not like you wait 10 days and the radiation goes away. In that 10 days things are going to get worse.” “It’s basically a sign that there’s nothing left to do but throw in the towel,” Lochbaum said. The government has ordered some 140,000 people in the vicinity to stay indoors. A little radiation was also detected in Tokyo, triggering panic buying of food and water. Meanwhile, a new aftershock of 6.0 magnitude rattled northeast Japan today. Scores of strong aftershocks have followed the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Friday and caused a devastating tsunami.

Saying they didn’t have many other feasible options, a narrow majority of Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday agreed to allow Lawrence’s homeless shelter to continue operating downtown while it looks for a permanent location. Commissioners at their weekly meeting approved a one-year extension of an operating permit for the Lawrence Community Shelter and approved an increase in its occupancy on a 32 vote. The swing vote on the issue ended up being one that had been two years in the making. “I was skeptical coming into this position about what was being done at the shelter,” said Lawrence City Commissioner Lance Johnson, “It is not an ideal who is in the place, but we final weeks of a don’t have any two-year term. “But I’ve other choices become a right now.” believer in the shelter over — Lawrence City the last two Commissioner Mike years and in Dever, who voted the efforts to extend the being made at Lawrence the shelter.” Johnson was Community joined by Com- Shelter’s permit missioners Aron Cromwell and Mike Dever in voting to extend the shelter’s permit and increase its year round occupancy from 57 people per night to 81. But none of the commissioners said they thought the shelter’s location at 10th and Kentucky streets was a good one. In fact, Cromwell said it would be hard to think of a worse location for the shelter. But the trio also said they couldn’t support the idea of the community going without a homeless shelter. “It is not an ideal place, but we don’t have any other choices right now,” Dever said. Shelter leaders had hoped to deliver a report to commissioners that they were well on their way to moving the shelter to a vacant warehouse near the Douglas County Jail. But a ruling in Douglas County District Court over covenant issues at the site has all but killed those plans. Mayor Mike Amyx and Commissioner Rob Chestnut voted against the extension and occupancy increase. But neither commissioner said they wanted to close the shelter down. Instead, they wanted more information, and Amyx said he wanted to consider an extension that would have been for less than a year. Both also said they were uncertain the shelter could adequately handle the increase in occupancy. The shelter has had an overnight occupancy limit of 82 people during the winter months, but its occupancy maximum dropped to 57 people during the warmer months. Shelter Please see CITY, page 2A

Douglas County tax proposal considered By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — State legislators on Tuesday considered a bill that would change the range of projects that could be funded with a sales tax increase in Douglas County. County Administrator Craig Weinaug told the House Taxation Committee that there were no plans by the Douglas County Commission to seek a tax increase at this time. LEGISLATURE But if the issue ever does gain political traction and the commission seeks voter approval of a sales tax increase, House Bill 2366 would set the parameters on what kind of projects would be funded. “The politics of Douglas County is probably as interesting as politics in any part of the state,” Weinaug said. He said many residents indicate they support taxes to help lure business and industry, while many others say

they could support a tax increase to develop historical sites and attract tourism. “This bill provides a mechanism to go in both areas,” he said. The bill would allow the commission to ask voters to approve a quarter-cent per dollar sales tax for conservation, access and management of open space, preservation of cultural heritage and other economic development projects and activities. The commission has had legislative authority to seek the tax increase for the past 10 years but hasn’t sought approval from the voters. Under current law, the tax increase could be used for preservation, access and management of open space and business and industrial park development. Weinaug said the bill represents a desire by the current commissioners to broaden the range of options if the tax is ever considered. The committee took no action on the proposal. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

leaders asked for the 82 number to be year around because they said they had proven the shelter could operate safely at that level. Commissioners ultimately approved 81 as the maximum, which matches the maximum set by the city’s fire department following a recent inspection. But Chestnut said he thought the city was pushing the envelope by allowing more people in a building that the shelter already Chestnut admits is too small. “I think we have to operate with the idea that the shelter is going to operating at this location for 18 to 24 months,” Chestnut said. “I just don’t think it is sustainable to have 82 people at that location for that period of time.” None of the trio of commissioners supporting the greater occupancy said they liked the idea, but they also agreed with shelter leaders that by limiting the occupancy it increased the likelihood that people would loiter outside the shelter overnight. Shelter director Loring Henderson said his group continues to look for a new site for the shelter.

Committee to review relocation proposal Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday agreed to have the Public Incentives Review Committee examine a proposal by a local architecture firm to relocate its headquarters to downtown. Lawrence-based Treanor Architects wants to renovate and expand a vacant building at 1040 Vt. to serve as its headquarters.

“My statements yesterday were regrettable,” he said. “Please accept my apology.” Peck’s apology was released by e-mail less than one hour after Gov. Sam Brownback, also a Republican, criticized Peck and said he should apologize. Ashley McMillan, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, was seen visiting Brownback with Peck in the Statehouse Tuesday. On Monday, Peck said that he was joking but that his comment did reflect frustration with the problem of illegal immigration. Peck made his comment during a discussion by the House Appropriations Committee on state spending for controlling feral swine. Peck said the state might consider controlling illegal immigration the same way it uses helicopters and gunmen to shoot and kill wild pigs. “It looks like to me that if shooting these immigrating feral hogs works maybe we have found a (solution) to our illegal immigration problem,” he said. The committee chairman, Rep. Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, said Peck’s comment was inappropriate. Asked about his comment on Monday, Peck was unapologetic. “I was just speaking like a southeast Kansas person,” he said. That statement drew criticism from two other southeast Kansas legislators. “With our rich coal mining history, southeast Kansas is the melting pot of our state,” said Rep. Bob Grant, DCherokee. “I have no intention of letting Rep. Peck brand me with his own extremist views just because I live in the same region.” Rep. Doug Gatewood, DColumbus, said, “We want to make it absolutely clear to the people of southeast Kansas that we absolutely do not share Rep. Peck’s point of view.” House Republican leaders issued a statement saying that Peck’s “spontaneous” remark was made in jest but still inappropriate. “His acknowledgment of his error, his apology to the public and his House colleagues, and his pledge to be more vigilant and respectful in his discourse is appreciated and accepted,” the statement said. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Committee OKs anti-union bill

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Demand for radiation pills spikes Japan’s nuclear crisis is spiking demand in the U.S. and a few other places for a cheap drug that can protect against one type of radiation damage — even though the risk is only in Japan. Health agencies in California and western Canada warned Tuesday that there’s no reason for people an ocean away to suddenly stock up on potassium iodide. Some key suppliers say they’re back-ordered and are getting panicked calls from potential customers. “There’s a lot of mythology about the use of potassium iodide,” said Dr. Irwin Redlener, a pediatrician and disaster preparedness specialist at Columbia University. “It’s not a radiation antidote in general.” 1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

House passes 3-week stopgap bill

The House Tuesday passed a measure blending $6 billion in budget cuts with enough money to keep the government running for an additional three weeks. The measure would buy additional time for talks between Capitol Hill Republicans and the Obama administration on a bill to fund the day-to-day operations of the government through the end of September. Those negotiations haven’t gotten very far yet and House GOP leaders haven’t shown much flexibility. The measure passed by a 271-158 vote despite opposition from some tea party-backed conservatives who said it “kicks the can down the road” instead of imposing steep and immediate spending cuts. The $6 billion cut by the measure includes many items that the Obama administration and Democrats agree can be axed. 2 | BAHRAIN

A force of more than 1,000 Saudi-led troops expanded to defend the Sunni monarchy; Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah denounced the presence of foreign soldiers; and Washington feared for its main naval base in the Gulf.

LAWRENCE SCHOOL BOARD RACE

Candidate’s task force experience inspires campaign By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Kevin Anderson/Journal-World Photo

SHANNON KIMBALL IS CAMPAIGNING for one of four available seats on the Lawrence school board. She spent eight months serving on the Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force.

Shannon Kimball spent eight months immersed in the reality of one of the Lawrence school district’s most pressing issues: how to balance the needs of its 15 elementary schools against a dwindling pool of resources, all while upholding the community’s expectations and vision for valuable and effective education. In the end, the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force recommended closing one school next year and pursuing consolidation from among a list of a half dozen others within three to five years. Kimball, an attorney who put her career on hold to stay at home

with two young kids, not only served on the committee but also embraces its findings as she campaigns for a seat on the Lawrence school board. “I really feel strongly that with the task force experience that I’ve had, it’s been like an eight-month training course,” she said. “It’s been eight months of preparation, in terms of study and looking at facts, and understanding how the district works, and what the needs are in terms of facilities and instruction and programs. “These are all issues that the board will be dealing with.” Kimball, 37, is among nine candidates campaigning for four available seats on the seven-member board. Winners in the April 5 general election will take office in July. As an attorney who has worked on educational equity issues in

private practice and for the Georgia Department of Education, Kimball is counting on her professional experience giving her insights both appropriate and necessary for grappling with the complex issues now facing the Lawrence school district: shrinking budgets, a widening achievement gap, needing physical upgrades to buildings. “I’m ahead of the curve, in terms of the knowledge base I have,” she said. Her work on the task force only confirmed her desire to help lead the district. Kimball saw how assessing the district’s facilities needs — that is, school buildings — in connection with actual and anticipated availability of resources — that is, money — could lead to a clear plan for addressing major needs in the district.

The 24 volunteers who were drawn from a variety of professional and personal backgrounds, neighborhoods and school communities, spent eight months studying the issues, collecting data, discussing values and assessing needs before recommending concrete steps for addressing shortcomings: close one school and pursue consolidating others. The task force also established a dozen criteria to use when considering school needs well into the future. “I’d like to see us do that same kind of work for our middle and our high schools,” Kimball said. “Having a clear vision of where we’re going helps all of us understand the steps we’re taking to get there.” Please see SCHOOL, page 5A

would become of Seaver’s show but noted they had many years of recordings from which to draw. “I don’t see it going away in the immediate future,” she said. Seaver came to Lawrence in 1947 as a history professor at KU. A California native, Seaver was the captain of the tennis team at Stanford University and later coached the KU men’s team to a Big Seven Championship. Seaver spent almost three decades as the head of the Western Civilization program. Late Roman history was his specialty and, along with opera recordings, he collected ancient coins. “He was really committed to the university in a way that is rare now,” said Don Marquis, a KU philosophy professor who in 1967 became the assistant director of Western Civilization. “He had a real following.” Another great passion of Seaver’s was traveling. He led tours to the sites of ancient civilizations in Rome, Greece, Turkey and Egypt. For those who couldn’t come, Seaver would host “trips” as part of the senior center’s Armchair Travel for the Leisure and Learning Program. “He was a living library,” said Douglas County Senior Ser-

vices executive director John Glassman, who had lunch with Seaver about once a month. “When you are around someone of that level of intelligence and articulation, you know it. I could tell why his students loved him so much and stayed in touch with him over the years,” Glassman said. Along with sharing his travel experiences, Seaver and his wife delivered hot meals to homebound seniors for years. Their volunteer work inspired Douglas County Senior Services to create the Jim and Virginia Seaver Volunteer Award in 2007. It has been presented annually since. “He was such a good gentleman,” Glassman said. “This community is going to be poor without him.” Seaver is survived by his wife and three sons: Richard, Leawood; William, Lawrence; and Robert, Italy. The family is working with KU to arrange funeral services. Virginia said she remembers her husband had once told her of an ancient philosopher who wanted his gravestone to read that he made a difference. “And I think he did make a difference for a lot of people, and that is what he aimed to do,” she sad. “He influenced his students, and he influenced a generation of radio listeners.” — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

After the one-hour committee meeting, Schodorf chided lobbyists for the Kansas Chamber, which is pushing for passage of the bill. She said the Kansas Chamber and Legislature should be working together to create jobs instead of fighting against unions that represent teachers, firefighters and police. House Bill 2130 would ban public employee unions from endorsing candidates and prohibit unions from getting voluntary dues from its members for political activities. It was approved in the House with only Republican support and prompted a demonstration by union members

Among other initiatives she wants to pursue: ● Build effective and productive relationships. Parents at Wakarusa Valley School, for example, have established partnerships with faculty and researchers at Kansas University to help build an effective program that emphasizes STEM — that’s science, technology, engineering and math — education at the school. She’d like to see such efforts replicated throughout the district on STEM and other initiatives. “There are opportunities we are not accessing, in terms of relationships with KU, with relationships with the city,” she said. “Especially with resources being more

that led House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, to ban one union official from the House gallery. The measure is backed by the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Kansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity, both organizations aligned with the Koch brothers who lead the Wichita-based Koch Industries and have funded antitax and anti-union activities nationwide. Rep. Ann Mah, D-Topeka, said the bill “silences middleclass workers and makes sure corporate political action committees gain an edge in 2012.” David Schauner, general counsel of the Kansas National Education Association, said the measure would disenfranchise working Kansans. “If we unbalance the scales

between corporate interests and working families’ interest, the democratic process that we have all sworn to uphold is in serious jeopardy,” he said. Eric Carter, speaking on behalf of the Kansas Chamber, said the proposal removes government from the political process. “Government intertwined with political activity — that isn’t something voters want to see,” he said. He said many union members feel coerced to pay dues for political purposes even if they disagree with the union’s political activities. Kansas union officials denied that workers in Kansas are coerced to either join unions or pay dues for political activities. The Commerce Committee approved an amendment offered by Carter that he said

would allow unions to deduct from members’ paychecks for political activities but require the union to annually ask permission from the member to continue the deduction. The bill has been referred to two committees in the Senate, which Wagle said was the reason she wanted to get it out quickly of her committee. The Ethics and Elections Committee is also considering the legislation. At one point during the meeting, Sen. Tom Holland of Baldwin City, who is the ranking Democrat on the committee, was asking questions and Wagle told him to hurry up. Holland responded, “I think we need to have a fair hearing on the issues before we vote on this.”

and more limited, we need to be working with other agencies and organizations in the community.” ● Look, listen and learn. Transparency needs to be a major priority for the board’s work and the administration’s operations, she said. Working on the task force exposed Kimball to “depth of division” on issues in schools, and she f igures that improved communication could go a long way toward bridging the gaps. “One place to start is to be sure that when someone is looking for information, it’s easy to find,” she said, citing the challenge of finding and understanding f inancial information, even online. “The budget, it’s difficult to use on its own terms. Let’s not make it more difficult to find, or hard to access. “We’re a public institution.

All the business we do needs to be in the public eye, completely.” When it comes to finances, Kimball said that her approach to any budget cuts would involve preserving things considered most important to classroom instruction. Among them: Placing and keeping quality teachers in the classroom; providing quality instruction; fostering strong relationships between students and teachers; and providing professional development for educators. “Everything else is on the table,” she said. “There’s not anything obvious, no one thing you can do to solve the problem. We’ve gone beyond the point there are easy answers.” Kimball grew up on a family farm and attended public schools in Atwood. She went on to earn two degrees at

Kansas University and then a law degree at the University of Michigan. Today, she volunteers at Langston Hughes School. That’s where she and her husband, Jason Kimball, a hospitalist at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, have their 5-yearold son, Ian, in kindergarten; another son, Logan, is 3. The Kimballs had lived in an urban area of Atlanta before choosing to move to Lawrence, in large part because of the public schools. Now, Shannon Kimball wants to work to make the schools the best they can be. “I have a lot of professional experience in public schools, and I see this as an opportunity to help my community and give back to my community,” she said.

EDITORIALS

Tournament time The Kansas Jayhawks have risen above a number of challenges this season to earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

an a storybook ending be in the offing for a Kansas University men’s basketball team that’s already had its share of drama this season? Through various suspensions and the death of a team member’s young mother, the Jayhawks have continued to roll, winning their seventh straight Big 12 title and eighth straight Big 12 tournament. Whether wiping away a tear or laying down the law, Coach Bill Self has set the tone. The trouble started with freshman guard Josh Selby being suspended for nine games at the beginning of the season for accepting clothes, transportation, meals and lodging prior to signing an athletic scholarship agreement with KU. Selby served his time and could play a role in a deep tournament run for KU. In January, sophomore forward Thomas Robinson’s mother, Lisa Robinson, 43, died of a heart attack. The entire team traveled to Washington, D.C., for the memorial service. When they returned to Lawrence, the team, including Robinson, went right back to work. “The world doesn’t stop turning,” senior guard Tyrel Reed said then. “Whether there’s things going on in our personal lives or whatever. We’re all men. We have to deal with those things. We have a job to do.” Near the end of the regular season, Self suspended junior guard Tyshawn Taylor for violating a team rule and replaced him with Elijah Johnson. Johnson had some of his best games while Taylor was suspended. Taylor has played his best ball of the season after returning to the team. Maybe the Jayhawks’ point-guard puzzle has been solved. At the same time, the Jayhawk men have displayed their prowess in the classroom, with Reed being named an Academic All-American and the team scoring well in the Academic Performance Tournament created by the Inside Higher Ed blog and based on the graduation rates of tournament teams. On Friday, the No. 1 seeded Jayhawks play Boston University in Tulsa in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Coach Self appears to have his team right where he wants them, ready to win the national championship. Every college basketball fan knows how hard it is, even for a top team, to win six straight games in the NCAA tournament. Only one team ends its season with a win. The Jayhawks have done it before and they certainly have a chance to do it again this year. Fans in Lawrence and throughout the country wish the Jayhawks well as they start their tournament run. We hope they are focused, fired up and ready to have some fun. Winning a national championship, of course, would be the most fun of all. Rock Chalk!

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for March 16, 1911: “Any expectation of seeing a militant suffragette with mannish clothing, striYEARS dent voice and belligerent attitude, will be AGO dissipated when Sylvia Pankhurst gives IN 1911 her lecture here tomorrow. … When the Journal-World reporter visited Miss Pankhurst this morning she was attired in a low morning gown of mouse color. Two worn tan shoes peeped from under her skirts, her sailor collar was loosely held with a boy’s neck tie — the only masculine article of clothing she wore — while to the unpractised masculine eye she appeared to be uncircled by a corset. ‘Suffrage is making great progress in America and before the end of the year seven states will have granted equal ballots,’ Pankhurst said. ‘’We will get votes for women in England within a year. ... Having no vote is like working with no tools.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Eisenhower showed Mideast mastery By David A. Nichols Los Angeles Times

The Middle East will undoubtedly continue to be unstable. Its legacy of colonialist exploitation, badly drawn borders, decades of power struggles, the scramble for oil and, since 1948, the ArabIsraeli conflict has ensured a rocky future. For every American president, the question is not whether but when and where the next Middle East crisis will erupt. As President Obama considers his options in the region, which president should he look to as a model for effective leadership in the Middle East? Ronald Reagan is the favorite of pundits these days, but Reagan’s actions in the Middle East bordered on disastrous. Following the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, Reagan landed a token military force that set the stage for the deaths of 241 U.S. Marines in a terrorist attack on their U.S. barracks at the Beirut airport. He climaxed a confusing policy toward Libya with a twoday bombing campaign in 1986 that left Moammar Gadhafi in power stronger than ever. Reagan betrayed his own policy of not bargaining with terrorists when his administration sold antitank and antiaircraft missiles to Iran to secure the release of American hostages in Lebanon, and then used the proceeds to secretly arm

“

Above all, Eisenhower embraced the tides of history. He pressed America’s allies to bury the corpse of colonialism in the Middle East. Today, we need the equivalent — a rigorously defined, clearheaded commitment to democratic movements that avoids the ad-hocracy of Reagan and his successors.” the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. A better president to emulate is Dwight D. Eisenhower. Like every president since World War II, Ike confronted the unexpected in the Middle East, but he was ready, having hammered out his principles and priorities in advance. Eisenhower captured his approach in a maxim: “Plans are worthless — but planning is everything.” His planning process examined multiple contingencies and meticulously defined policy goals so that he, as president, could “do the normal thing when everybody else is going nuts.” In 1956, Eisenhower confronted the most dangerous international crisis of his presidency. The trigger was Egyptian President

Gamal Abdel Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal that July. Two-thirds of the oil for Western Europe transited the canal. To the British and French, its seizure was calamitous. As they prepared for war, Eisenhower refused to permit his historical allies or Israel to dictate American policy. Instead, he defended Egypt’s right to nationalize the canal and pushed for a peaceful solution. On election day, Nov. 6, 1956, Eisenhower faced a perfect Middle East storm. Nine days earlier, without consulting Ike, Israel had attacked Egypt, and British and French forces had followed suit days later. The previous day the Soviet Union, fresh from the bloody repression of a revolt in Hungary, had threatened to intervene in the conflict. In response, Eisenhower sternly warned the Soviets against such action and placed American forces on alert. Throughout the crisis, Eisenhower courageously denied desperately needed cash and petroleum to the allies, saying they could “boil in their own oil” until they agreed to a cease-fire and withdrawal from Egypt. Remarkably, on election day, he won reelection by a landslide and secured an end to the fighting. After the Suez crisis, Eisenhower persuaded Congress to pass a program of economic and military aid to Middle East

nations. In the Eisenhower Doctrine, the president committed the United States to replacing Britain as the guarantor of stability and security in the Middle East. That obligation remains the cornerstone of American policy. Ike abhorred token, fragmented military operations like Reagan’s, contending that any military intervention should employ overwhelming force. Lebanon provides a useful comparison. Unlike Reagan’s botched operation in 1982, Ike implemented his doctrine by landing 14,000 troops in Lebanon in 1958 in a virtually bloodless show of force. Above all, Eisenhower embraced the tides of history. He pressed America’s allies to bury the corpse of colonialism in the Middle East. Today, we need the equivalent — a rigorously defined, clear-headed commitment to democratic movements that avoids the ad-hocracy of Reagan and his successors. As Ike said, and as is inscribed on the wall of the Eisenhower Museum in Abilene, Kan.: “The United States never lost a soldier or a foot of ground during my administration. We kept the peace. People ask how it happened — by God, it didn’t just happen.” — David A. Nichols is an authority on the Eisenhower presidency and the author of “Eisenhower 1956: The President’s Year of Crisis — Suez and the Brink of War.”

YOUR TURN

Closing plan raises busing issues By Roura Young

Before making a decision to close Wakarusa Valley, the Lawrence Board of Education should investigate several factors affecting transportation: 1. Rural students will face significantly increased travel time. Currently, research indicates that children suffer negative effects from bus rides 30 to 60 minutes in length or more (Lu and Tweeten 1973; Zars 1998; Howley, Howley and Shamblen 2001; Ramage and Howley 2005; Spence 2000, Howley 2000; Bard, Clark, and Wieland 2010; Fox 1996). These effects include fatigue, parent disengagement from school, devaluation of children’s time and reductions in academic achievement, extracurricular participation, out-of-school study time, attendance, and physical activity. 2. Wakarusa Valley serves an area close to 80 square miles, 2.8 times larger than the region within Lawrence's city boundaries. From the physical conditions subcommittee of the USD 497 elementary task force, page 22: “Wakarusa Valley is the farthest southwest school serving the district. The geographic area served by this school includes the towns of Clinton and Stull … Given the geography of the area Wakarusa Valley serves, it would seem impracticable and not cost effective to bus students from the boundary edges to an alternative school.” Our community has heard arguments stating that because Wakarusa Valley families chose to live in rural areas, they should accept the required lengthening of bus rides to and from school that will result from a WV closure. This

argument is a fallacy. When WV families chose to live in rural Douglas County, an elementary school was available that was factored into the selection of where to raise their children. Many of these families sacrificed the convenience of town precisely because they knew an excellent school was available locally. Many WV families chose to Young live in the area for the school. Other families are multi-generation farm families, who built WV before it became part of USD 497. With the closure of WV, many children that are currently bused to Wakarusa Valley will face a lasting negative influence on their schooling, even as they adjust to a new school and community. The suggestions offered below will reduce, but not eliminate, the impact of such a closure on its students. These suggestions should be examined before the decision to close WV is made, to determine the true financial cost of closure: 1. Bus rides of 45 minutes or less for all rural students. According to a study by Theibeault, Zetler, and Wilson (1997), 90 minutes per day (i.e. 45 minutes each way) is the maximum that a student should ride a bus (Spence 2000). 2. Maximum of 10 additional minutes per bus route for all children affected by school closure. Given the results of research described above, adding even an additional 10 minutes per bus route makes for very long rides for Lawrence’s rural

children in the current WV region. 3. Adjusted start times at LHS, South and Broken Arrow. Elementary students should never be expected to wait in a parking lot or on a bus for more time than it takes to load the bus. 4. No elementary student shall be expected to transfer buses as part of their daily route. This is confusing for elementary students and dangerous for all students, especially if the transfer spot, Wakarusa Valley, were a closed building. 5. Creation of a separate parking lot for buses only, either at South or Broken Arrow. No cars should be allowed in this lot while buses are loading or unloading. These parking lots are already overcrowded; the addition of 80-100 kids to Broken Arrow will make the situation worse. To minimize bus travel time and ensure the safety of the elementary children, a busing area separate from car pickup should be created. 6. Rural buses transporting K-12 students will be monitored by someone other than the bus driver on routes longer than 30 minutes. The bus driver is responsible for safely transporting students. He/she should not also be responsible for discipline. Discipline issues which arise on school buses include bullying, fighting and weapons, sexual harassment and exposure to inappropriate language and subjects. 7. Bus drivers will be given first aid training. All adults that are solely responsible for children for extended periods of time should have first aid training. — Roura Young is a rural Lawrence resident and a Wakarusa Valley parent.

To the editor: I take exception to the March 9 editorial questioning Just Food as a failed enterprise akin to welfare. A short summary of their efforts since October 2009 starts with 2,000 individuals monthly using the pantry. They have a monthly mobile food pantry providing perishables to 200 households and receive two other emergency commodity programs including one for seniors. Food drives from throughout the county accounted for 7,000 pounds of donated food distributed back to the community last year. A partnership with Harvesters enables Just Food to leverage food purchases for 10 cents a pound. Refrigeration and freezer capacity programs with the Farmers Market for surplus produce each week, plus donations of excess fresh products from area gardeners, can be kept fresher and shared with those fighting food insecurity. Volunteers equal three fulltime employees. These include data entry, grant writing, pickup from grocers, and day-to-day work in the warehouse. Just Food is not in competition with other pantries; we complement their efforts. Losing Just Food would put unimaginable strain on everyone fighting hunger. Consider this work as one leg of a threelegged stool that includes shelter and health care. Just Food is like any other nonprofit appealing to the community for help. It is young and lacks a defined fundraising mechanism at this time, but its success and asset to the community deserves support and its grassroots fundraising campaign should be applauded. Ace Hickey, Lawrence

Best Bets

City compost sale scheduled this week Area gardeners soon will have a chance to get their hands on some cheap compost. The city of Lawrence’s Spring Compost Sale is set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The sale is from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. It is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, although it will end early if supplies are depleted. The sale is at 1420 E. 11th St. — just east of 11th and Haskell. The city will sell the compost for $10 per pickup truck load. People can get a small amount of compost for free, if they load it themselves. The event is not open to commercial landscapers. The compost is made from leaves and other organic materials that have been collected through the city’s yard waste collection program. The material decomposes and converts into compost, which is used by gardeners to improve soil conditions.

BU coach, Morrises share Philly roots

As a Philadelphia native and basketball fan, Boston University men’s basketball coach Patrick Chambers always has been fond of Marcus and Markieff Morris, Kansas University’s twin brothers from the City of Brotherly Love. But the reasons for Chambers’ admiration for the Morris twins goes beyond all three having the same hometown and understanding what it means to be from Philly. Chambers, a former Villanova Chambers assistant who worked under VU head coach Jay Wright, actually tried to recruit the Morris brothers to ’Nova a few years ago. “I really enjoyed meeting them,” Chambers said Tuesday, recalling his efforts to entice the twins to stay home. “I really enjoyed following their careers. We had them on campus. Their mom, Angel, is terrific. Their coaches were great. They were a lot of fun and it’s gonna be a lot of fun seeing them. They’re great kids, they’re hard workers, they love to play.” That signature style has served the Morris twins well throughout their careers at KU, Nick Krug/Journal-World File Photo as they’ve grown from talented, undisciplined freshmen into MARKIEFF (21) AND MARCUS MORRIS WAIT to check in against Oklahoma in this Feb. 26 file photo from Norman, Okla.

HIGH SCHOOL SPRING PREVIEW

Lawrence welcomes fresh start to new season By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

The first LHS spring sport begins today: Diving at the Emporia Invite

Every day, Lawrence High baseball coach Brad Stoll thinks about his team’s crushing lateinning collapse in the regional final last season. “We’re ready to wash that memory out of our brains as soon as possible,” Stoll said. That’s a theme among the coaches of the spring sports at

Lawrence High: getting a fresh start to another season. Stoll’s team will start the year in Oklahoma, taking on Edmund Memorial on Saturday. The competition will be tough, but Stoll likes when his team gets knocked down a little bit. He’s using last year’s disappointing season as motivation, too. The Lions underachieved and went 11-11 after winning the state championship in 2009.

When the Lions fail to perform or don’t show much effort in practices, the coaching staff calls it an 11-11 effort. “It was kind of a blow to our pride to go up and watch eight other teams go to the state tournament,” Stoll said. The girls swimming team is quickly approaching its first spring competition. The diving portion of the Emporia Invite is today, while

the swimming portion is Thursday. The team is larger than it was last year, but a lot of the swimmers don’t have much varsity experience. Coach Kent McDonald is also trying to find divers. “We’re kind of a young, learning-how-to-swim team this year,” McDonald said. LHS track coach Jack Hood Please see LIONS, page 3B

Optimism reigns for seven Free State squads By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

There are only of handful of certainties as each of Free State High’s seven spring sports prepare to begin their seasons. Many starting spots and varsity roles are still being hashed out as practices are barely two weeks young, leaving each coach with many decisions still to make. In each sport, though, the few things that are evident provide more than enough reason to be optimistic.

The lockers of Kansas University’s basketball players were decorated prior to Tuesday’s practice in Allen Fieldhouse. Not with streamers, candy and well-wishes from the cheerleaders like in high school, but with some serious reading material. “I wanted to take it out as soon as I saw it,” KU junior forward Markieff Morris said of a Sports Illustrated article, with pictures, chronicling KU’s 69-67 loss to Northern Iowa in a secondround 2010 NCAA Tournament game in Oklahoma City. “I just closed my eyes and sat back and said, ‘Man I don’t want to see that.’ It was a bad feeling.

To me, I don’t want to see it any more. I don’t want to feel that pain any more. I’ve been thinking about it since we lost so it’s not a reminder to me.” Junior Tyshawn Taylor said he didn’t read the article but “looked at the pictures.

OSU routs Harvard

STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — After its fastest start of the season, Oklahoma State didn’t need much of a second half to knock Harvard out of the NIT.

Oklahoma State (20-13) took a 14-point lead into halftime thanks to a 14-4 run midway through the first half. “I was just excited the way they came out,” said Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford, who thought his team was the most excited it’s been all season. “I wasn’t quite sure exactly how they were going to come out.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Gordon leads Royals S U R P R I S E , A R I Z . ( A P ) — If spring training is any indicator, Alex Gordon may be headed for that breakout season Kansas City has been waiting on since drafting him second overall in 2005. Gordon hit a two-run homer in the seventh to lift the Royals to a 4-3 victory over an Oakland Athletics split squad Tuesday. Gordon went 2-for-3 to hike his average to .367. He also has drawn a Cactus League-leading 11 walks and has a .558 on-base percentage. Gordon moved from third base to left field last season and had more at-bats with Triple-A Omaha than Kansas City. He floundered in the majors, hitting .215 with 20 RBIs and 18 extra-base hits in 74 games. After beginning spring training 1-for-13 — the lone hit a broken-bat single — Gordon is 10for-17 (.588) and leads the Roy-

als with three home runs and 12 RBIs. “Alex has got it pretty dialed in,” manager Ned Yost said. “It’s hard to predict when exactly it’s going to click for somebody. Alex has really worked his tail off this winter with Seitz (hitting coach Kevin Seitzer). I mean, everyday in the cage, revamping his swing. “When he got here, the timing was off. I always had the feeling if the timing got right, look out. We’re seeing a little bit of that right now. He needed to see some consistent atbats.” Nate Adcock, a Royals Rule 5 pick from the Pittsburgh Pirates, made his first start and threw three scoreless innings, giving up three hits. He yielded a leadoff double to Conor Jackson in the second, but stranded him at third base. “That was very impressive,”

FREE STATE HIGH

Yost said of Adcock’s performance. Adcock has pitched eight scoreless innings in f ive appearances. “It’s getting a little more exciting,” Adcock said of his opportunity to break camp with the club. “Every time you take the mound, you know you’ve got an opportunity to make the club and help the club out. I will say on the first pitch my heart was pounding and my adrenaline was going. After the first pitch, I calmed down.” Adcock has never pitched above Class A, going 11-7 with a 3.38 ERA as a starter last season in the Florida State League. “My mentality right now is home plate and the pitching rubber has not changed, it’s 60 feet, six inches,” Adcock said. “It’s just different hitters, but I try not to look at the names, but at the catcher.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Harris focused for pro day By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

the Plaza in Kansas City. The team’s first match will be March 30 at the Topeka Quad. “There’s no better way to build a better program than to go to quality events,” Strawderman said. Track and field coach Steve Heffernan also saw the largest turnout in his 14 years at FSHS, and couldn’t be more pleased with the energy he says it’s brought to the program. Among top returners like Hayley Francis, Austin Hoag, Preston Newsome and Lynn Robinson, the Firebirds have a gifted crop of freshmen. Free State’s first event will be on March 29 at Lawrence High. “For me, I can’t wait until the first few meets to really see what we’ve got,” Heffernan said. “Because you can’t really tell in practice.” The youth trend holds true with coach Lee Ice’s softball team. The Firebirds, who will play their first game on March 29 at Olathe East, are looking to a group of sophomores and freshmen to replace 11 graduated seniors. “I do have experience returning,” said Ice, citing juniors Alex Hill and Sam O’Brien, among others. “But I also feel there’s a lot of competition for the remaining (34) spots.” The same can be also be said for Kelly Barah’s girls soccer team. Barah knows what he has in seniors Annie Libeer and

Hillary Yoder, as well as other returners like Kylee Loneker, and hopes their proven abilities and leadership can blend with a talented freshman class that includes Alexa HarmonThomas. Barah will lead his team to its first match this spring on March 25 vs. Lansing at home. “We have some really good freshman that even if they don’t contribute to the varsity team, it bodes well for the future,” he said. Similarly, girls swimming and diving coach Annette McDonald returns three-year standouts Reilly Moore and Kara Mishler, but will look to replace nine graduated seniors who helped FSHS to a third-place finish at the state tournament last year. Free State’s first meet is today at the Emporia Invite. “An ideal season would be to qualify as many girls for the state championship that we possibly can and have the dilemma of who to swim and who to dive,” McDonald said. “We’re going to really have to work hard for that.” The boys golf team, led by sixth-year coach Matt Gudenkauf and senior Jake Sakamura, hasn’t been able to log many rounds yet because of the inconsistent weather. The Firebirds don’t use indoor simulators either. Gudenkauf said he wasn’t a big proponent of that anyway. “They’re not real,” Gudenkauf said. “They don’t let you fix anything like you can on real grass.” The FSHS golfers will begin their season on March 28 at the Blue Valley West Invitational.

BRIEFLY KU baseball falls, 4-2 FAYETEVILLE, ARK. — A tworun Arkansas fourth inning doomed Kansas University’s baseball team in a 4-2 setback on Tuesday. Kansas (7-9) dropped its third straight game. No. 9 Arkansas improved to 14-2.

When Kansas University senior Chris Harris arrived on campus before the 2007 season, he was a cornerback. Nothing more, nothing less. But after playing four or five different positions during his four-year career at Kansas, the 5-foot-10, 190-pound NFL hopeful is prepared to be whatever he needs to be to get his shot at pro football. “Right now, I’m everything,” Harris said Monday night. “I’m a defensive back. Moving to safety hurt me, projection-wise, because I was rated higher at corner. If I would’ve stayed there, I might have had a chance to go to (last month’s NFL) combine.” With that no longer possible, Harris’ focus has been on showcasing his skills for a host of NFL scouts at KU’s annual pro day, today at the Anderson Family Football Complex. Harris has been waiting for this moment for months. After losing to Missouri in the season finale in late November, Harris took a week off to recharge his body and then got back in the weight room. During the week, in addition to going to classes with an eye on graduating in May, Harris has worked out with KU strength coach John Williams. On weekends, he’s gone to Emporia to work with speed specialist, Matt Walter. The main skill that Harris aimed to improve in preparation for next month’s NFL Draft was his speed. Consistently clocked in the 4.4-second range in the 40-yard dash, Harris has hopes of dipping below that mark in front of the handful of NFL scouts in Lawrence today. “I play DB, and speed is what they want and what they like, so it’s definitely been something I’ve been focusing on,” he said. “My main goal is to show ’em I’m strong enough to play safety and fast enough to play corner.

(Today’s) definitely a big day for me, just to get my name out there. Once they see my times and see what I can do in position work, hopefully they’ll see that I can play.” In addition to working out with Williams and Walter, Harris has been getting some help from a former teammate and current NFL player. That kind of advantage has him hoping for big things on draft day. “Stuckey’s been here the whole time,” said Harris of former KU safety and current San Diego Charger Darrell Stuckey. “We run through position drills with him and make sure we do all the stuff that the coaches will be looking for. We’re getting that critical coaching from Stuck, man. He knows everything.” Harris and Stuckey haven’t been alone in their workouts. Several members of KU’s senior class also have been busting their butts in preparation for pro day. All of them are hopeful of being invited to an NFL training camp — provided the league works out its collective bargaining situation and has a season in 2011 — and senior lineman Brad Thorson said he believed anywhere from eight to 10 Jayhawks would get a look. Those who may join Harris and Thorson at today’s pro day: cornerback Calvin Rubles, defensive end Jake Laptad, linebackers Drew Dudley and Justin Springer, running back Angus Quigley, wide receiver Johnathan Wilson, punter Alonso Rojas and place kicker Jacob Branstetter. KU officials said they did not know how many scouts would attend today’s event. Last year, 11 NFL teams were represented at KU’s pro day, but that number was higher than normal because three future draft picks — Stuckey and wide receivers Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier — were participating.

FSHS SPRING CAPSULES Baseball Head coach: Mike Hill, 14th season at FSHS. 2010 finish: 19-6, fourth at state tournament. Key returners: Cody Kukuk, sr., Colin Toalson sr.

has 37 juniors and 30 freshmen among the 129 athletes out for the team this spring. Hood’s philosophy of working solely for the final two meets of the season means his team may not reach its potential until late April. “Walk in our gym and there’s 106 state titles,” Hood said. “There’s no conference banners, there’s no league championship. There’s no regional winner or anything.” “Anything less than a state championship, and you’ve failed as the season’s gone because they’re not hanging a banner.” The track team starts its season on Thursday at the Topeka West Relays. Learning on the fly is important for the girls soccer team, which starts its season with a new coach, Joe Nemzer. He said the girls come to practice every day excited to improve. And though Nemzer has put an emphasis on conditioning, the girls seem to have bought in. “The last week hasn’t been easy,” Nemzer said. The Lions play their first match of the Wichita South Titan Classic on March 29. The boys golf team lost a lot of firepower from last season. Only two lettermen — junior Logan Henrichs and sophomore Blaine Van Blaircum — return. The season starts

BRIEFLY The Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association recently named Lawrence High athletic director Ron Commons the District 3 AD of the Year for 2011. Commons will receive the award at the KIAAA Conference on Saturday in Wichita. In addition to Lawrence High AD, Commons also serves as Sunflower League Secretary, and is on the Kansas State High School Activities Association Board of Directors. Commons has been at Lawrence High for a total of 38 years.

March 28 at the Blue Valley West Invitational. LHS tennis coach Chris Marshall said he’s excited for the new season because the Lions will be able to hold all practices and a couple matches on the Lions’ new tennis facility. For most of last season, the Lions had to commute to the Kansas University courts. The tennis team starts its season at Emporia High on March 29. The first game for the softball team doesn’t occur until March 31, so coach Reenie Stogsdill will have plenty of time to work a couple freshman into her starting lineup. After picking up eight more victories in 2010 as they did in 2009, the Lions have their eyes set on a trip to the state tournament.

Three years are a lot older and a lot ago, they arrived at Kansas more talented, too.” foreigners in a foreign land. Today, they’re as much the face of Kansas basketball as anybody on the team. As Chambers was quick to point out, they’re also pretty darn good. “They play with a chip on their shoulder, like they’re out to prove something every single day,” Chambers said. “And, when you have kids like that, it’s tough to wear them down, it’s tough to beat them down. They just keep coming, they don’t give up. That’s really a Philly type of attitude.” Chambers would know. In addition to being born and raised in the largest city in Pennsylvania, Chambers played his college ball at Philadelphia University, a Div. II program coached by Herb Magee. After joining the team as a walk-on, Chambers became the starting point guard and left the as the alltime assists leader. Seeing how his love of his hometown runs deep, it comes as no surprise that four players on BU’s roster list Philadelphia as their hometown. Though three of the four are freshmen, Chambers has high hopes for their development because of their upbringing. “I’d like to think our young kids have (the same tenacity as KU’s twins), but it’s not up to the Morrises’ level yet,” Chambers said. “The Morrises are a lot older and a lot more talented, too.” Although the Morris twins will bring combined averages of 30.9 points, 15.4 rebounds, 59 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent shooting from three-point range into Friday’s matchup, Chambers

— Boston U. coach Patrick Chambers said he was looking forward to catching up with the twins, no matter what the outcome. “I saw Marcus in Vegas (in 2010) because Jay Wright coached that (USA Basketball select team that Morris played for),” Chambers said. “It’ll be fun to see these guys again.” Both the twins and KU coach Bill Self are familiar with Chambers, as well. Said Marcus Morris of his relationship with Chambers: “He’s a great guy.” Added Self: “He was there trying to get the twins, too, when he was working with Jay (Wright). He was there some of the times we were there. Marcus and ’Kieff are so familiar with them and their staff. He’s done well to win so many games. He’s off to a great start for sure.” During his two seasons at BU, Chambers has faced a handful of powerhouse programs. Few, however, have had the kind of resume the Morris twins and the Jayhawks bring into Friday’s clash at 5:50 p.m. at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla. Chambers is doing his best to prepare for it. “It’s tough to do in practice, but we’ve got to do the best we can to simulate that,” he said. “The Morris twins are very physical and tough. I know them well. Nobody really talks about (KU guards) Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar (and) what those guys bring to the table, IQ and their shooting ability. They’ve got some depth, too.”

KU women to host WSU tonight By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s women’s basketball team was not shy about sharing its disappointment of missing out on the NCAA Tournament and qualifying for the Women’s NIT for the fourth year in a row. “It drives us all crazy,” said KU coach Bonnie Henrickson following KU’s loss to Baylor in last week’s Big 12 tournament. “But we’re going to have to get over that fast because, in the NIT, those that don’t want to play in it don’t last very long.” No one knows that better than Kansas, which has made a couple of decent runs

up happening,” Taylor said with a smile. “Basically it’s telling us we got our butts kicked, man,” Taylor added. “We can’t let it happen again. We don’t want to fail like that again. That’s not something you want to have in the locker room after the second round,” he added of tears. “We have to use it in motivation the next couple days and take care of business in Tulsa.” Taylor said the reading material sparked a discussion with players before practice. “We just finished talking about it,” he said. “Not a team meeting, but us saying, ‘Look man, this is what happened last year. We all know how we felt in the locker room in Oklahoma City last year and

through the WNIT during recent seasons. Last year, KU won a pair of games before bowing out in the third round. In 2009, the Jayhawks roared all the way to the title game, which they hosted in front of 16,113 fans at Allen Fieldhouse, before falling. And this year, after putting their disappointing past behind them, Henrickson said she believed her squad was poised to keep playing for a couple more weeks. “This group is in a good place to be able to make a run,” she said. “They’re a competitive group. They play with a lot of pride. They want to hang a banner in Allen and get this right.” The journey begins at 7

tonight, when the Jayhawks (20-12) play host to Wichita State in the f irst round. Although none of them are overly thrilled about their postseason fate, Henrickson said her team included enough veterans who had been through it before to get the rest of the squad focused. “We have (senior) Krysten (Boogaard) that played in it, (junior) Aishah (Sutherland) that played in it. (Sophomore point guard) Angel (Goodrich) was on the bench for that (2009) run we made,” Henrickson said. “Krysten will tell you playing in Kansas in front of 16,000 people for a championship was the highlight of her career.” KU’s round-one opponent

we definitely do not want to feel that way again.’ “I think it’s definitely motivation for us. I just don’t want us to come out there and fear that happening again. We’ve got to be loose, have fun and enjoy this time. We don’t get this time too many more times. We’ve been here last year in this position. We’ve got to embrace it and enjoy it. We won’t play scared or with fear of losing. We are going to have fun, play hard like we have been doing,” Taylor added.

Starting lineup: Self said Taylor would start at point guard against Boston U. Taylor, who opened the season as a starter only to move to the bench for six games, including a two-game suspension, started the second half of Saturday’s Big 12 semifinal victory over Colorado, then started Sunday’s game against Texas. He combined for 35 points and nine assists against six

Schedule: The Jayhawks were expected to depart Allen Fieldhouse via bus for Tulsa about 3:15 p.m. today. That schedule, of course, could change depending on the length of a 12:30 p.m. practice, which is closed to the public ... The Jayhawks will hold an open practice for fans from 4:25 p.m. to 5:05 p.m., Thursday at BOK Center in Tulsa. Boston’s practice will also be open from 5:55 p.m. to 6:35 p.m. ●

is relatively inexperienced. At 17-14 overall, Wichita State is in the postseason for the second-straight season, but earned a postseason bid for just the fourth time in school history. Kansas leads the all-time series between the two schools, 30-7. Kansas is 8-4 in the WNIT in its current format, including a 7-0 mark at home. “They want to keep playing,” Henrickson said. “They want to play in the other one (NCAA Tournament), but it’s not like they don’t want to play. They’ll play and compete with a lot of individual pride and program pride in that tournament with no doubt, absolutely no doubt.”

Know your risk for developing heart disease Q:

I heard on a TV news broadcast the other day about new guidelines for heart disease prevention for women, but didn’t catch the details. Do you know anything about it?

Yes, the American Heart Association, Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association, Office on Women’s Health, National Heart Lung & Blood Institute and WomenHeart have released new life-saving guidelines for the prevention of heart disease. Experts recommend that every woman know her risk level for heart disease. Knowing your risk has been linked to taking preventive action. Here’s what you need to know. What is your risk level for heart disease?

High risk You have one or more of the following: ● Existing coronary heart disease (heart attack, bypass surgery, heart stents) ● Stroke or carotid artery disease (narrowed or blocked arteries that take blood to your brain) ● Blocked arteries in your legs ● Abdominal aortic

aneurysm (weakness in the artery in your abdomen) ● Chronic kidney disease ● Diabetes Your personal risk factors predict a high risk of heart and vascular disease in the next 10 years. (This is based on the Framingham 10-year CVD Risk tool, which estimates the risk of heart disease based on age, gender, presence of diabetes, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, smoking and systolic blood pressure.)

At risk One or more major risk factors: ● Cigarette smoking ● Poor diet ● Lack of regular physical activity or who cannot complete a treadmill exercise test ● Overweight (Body mass index 25-29.9) or obesity (BMI higher than 30) ● Family history of heart or vascular disease ● Blood pressure higher than 120/80 ● Abnormal cholesterol levels ● Heart and other vascular diseases ● Lupus or rheumatoid arthritis ● Metabolic syndrome (See risk factors below) ● Pregnancy complica-

tions including the development of high blood pressure or diabetes, delivering a preterm infant.

Ideal cardiovascular health A healthy lifestyle with all of the following: ● Blood pressure less than 120/80 mm Hg and not on medicine for blood pressure ● Total cholesterol less than 200 mg/dL and not on medicine for cholesterol ● Fasting blood glucose less than 100 mg/dL and not on medicine for blood sugar ● Body mass index less than 25 kg/m2 ● Never smoked or quit more than one year ago ● Performs 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise a week ● Eats a diet of fruits and vegetables, whole-grains

and high-fiber foods. Eats fish, especially oily fish twice a week or more. Pregnant women avoid fish with high mercury levels. ● Limits saturated fat, cholesterol, alcohol, sodium, sugar and avoids trans-fatty acids Your risk for metabolic syndrome: If you have three or more of the following risk factors, then you have the metabolic syndrome and are at greater risk for developing heart and other vascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and having a stroke. ● Your waist is greater than 35 inches ● Your triglycerides are higher than 150 mg/dL ● Your HDL (good cholesterol) is less than 50 mg/dL ● Your blood pressure is higher than 130/85 mm Hg ● Your fasting blood sugar is higher than 100 mg/dL Here are the lifestyle guidelines for all women:

Eat heart-healthy ● Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables including whole-grain and high-fiber foods. ● Eat fish at least twice a week, preferably oily fish, or talk to your health care provider about taking omega-3 fatty acid (fish oil) supplements. ● Do your best to eat less salt (sodium). Try to limit your sodium to 1,500 milligrams a day. ● Avoid trans-fatty acids. No trans-fats is the goal. ● Eat very little saturated fat (such as fat from meat, cheese and butter): less than 7 percent of your total calories a day. ● Eat less than 150 milligrams of cholesterol a day. ● Drink no more than one alcoholic drink a day. No alcohol is best!

Most health-conscious cooks focus on boneless, skinless chicken breasts. It makes sense. This ubiquitous piece of the bird is convenient, versatile and virtually fat-free. But there are other — and often overlooked — options on the same bird. The more flavorful, and just as convenient boneless, skinless thigh really should be near the top of your shopping list. Here’s why: While it is true that the humble thigh is fattier than the breast — about 7 grams per 3-ounce cooked portion — that fat brings with it the extra flavor and moisture breasts can so often lack. Plus, the dark meat of the thigh contains the nutritional jackpot of considerably more iron and twice the zinc of white meat. That extra fat also means that it’s harder to ruin a chicken thigh recipe, even with quick, high-heat cooking. Unlike with chicken breasts, it’s difficult to end up with a flavorless, overcooked, shoe-leather dry chicken thigh. Boneless, skinless thighs are just as convenient as breasts (although you may want to trim off any extra bits of fat) but they do take just a little bit longer to cook, which makes them well-suited to absorb plenty of smokiness on the grill or flavor from a sauce during a stovetop braise. This recipe for stoutbraised chicken thighs, which is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, combines two techniques: flash-browning over high heat and a quick, low-heat braise. By switching around the sauce ingredients you can turn this method for cooking thighs into an endless variety of dishes. Here, the recipe calls for 3/4 cup of a stout beer such as Guinness (you can drink the rest while the thighs are braising), and just a single strip of chopped bacon to make a smoky, malty sauce that’s nicely balanced by the sweetness of peas, carrots and onions, plus the earthiness of a handful of mushrooms. Serve with mashed potatoes or even an Irish colcannon (potatoes mashed with kale or cabbage) to help soak up all the dark and flavorful sauce.

STOUT-BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS

STOUT-BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 slice bacon, finely chopped 1 small yellow onion, diced 3/4 cup baby carrots 4 ounces button cremini or baby bella mushrooms, halved 3/4 cup stout, such as Guinness 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth 3/4 cup frozen baby peas

In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup of the flour with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Dredge the chicken thighs in the flour mixture to coat completely, then set on a plate. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken thighs and cook until wellbrowned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside. Add the bacon to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for 2

minutes. Add the onion, carrots and mushrooms and saute until the vegetables begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for another 2 minutes. Add the stout and broth to the pan and bring to a boil using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the thighs to the pan, nestling them among the vegetables. Reduce the heat until the liquid is gently simmering, then cover and cook for 15 minutes. Add the peas and cook, covered, for 5 minutes more. Uncover the pan and simmer for 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve the chicken with vegetables and sauce spooned over the top. Serves 4.

GREEN RECIPES HOT HOUSE CUCUMBER AND MINT SALSA 1/2 cup pine nuts (about 4 ounces) 1 hot house cucumber 2 tablespoons mint jelly 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large pomegranate, seeded 2 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over moderate heat until golden. Seed cucumber and cut into 1/4 inch dice. In a bowl, whisk together jelly, vinegar and oil until jelly is broken up into tiny pieces and add remaining salsa ingredients, and toss. Season salsa with salt and pepper. — Recipe from www.melissas.com

VEGAN TOFU GREEN GODDESS DRESSING 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 small avocado 1/4 cup chopped green onions 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons light silken tofu Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and lime juice. Dressing can be covered and chilled for 2 days. Bring to room temperature and stir well before serving. — Recipe from www.wholefoodsmarket.co

ARUGULA-ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH WARM BACON CITRUS DRESSING 1 pound arugula leaves, washed and patted dry 1/2 pound asparagus spears, lightly steamed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 5 smoked bacon strips 2 tablespoons orange juice 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots 1/3 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste) 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Cut arugula greens into 1 1/2-inch lengths and transfer to a large bowl. In a steamer set over boiling water, steam asparagus, cov-

(if it won’t come together, let it rest a couple of minutes and try again.) Then roll ball out into a log shape, about 3 inches in diameter. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and pop it in the freezer for about 20 or 30 minutes to harden. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove from the freezer and slice into rounds. Not too thin, maybe 1/4-inch thick. Then place them on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until just barely golden in color. If you overbake, they’ll get too crumbly. I know, I overbaked mine. ●

I got the crackers going and we were sort of looking around trying to decide what needed to be done next, when Adam saw the duck livers just laying there in a bowl, waiting to be — gasp — discarded, And since we are not about discarding food, and particularly not something as special as a duck liver, he just whipped up a little pâté. That’s right, Adam just decided to make pâté. From his head. From scratch. He’s like that. Sheesh. Here’s what Adam tells me about making duck liver pâté on the fly: Without looking, I’m sure Escoffier would say this is all wrong and I’m sure all the Google searches in the world would turn up different recipes, but this is what we did as a total afterthought with things we had on hand. That said, the ingredient measures are all approximate — I can’t be bothered with measuring things unless yeast is involved. I mean there were duck giblets staring us in the face saying, “I’m tasty.” What do you do?

DUCK LIVER PÂTÉ 3 duck livers 3 chopped garlic cloves 2 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon thyme 1/4 onion, finely chopped 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar 2 tablespoon cream 2 tablespoon butter 3 tablespoon champagne (cognac if you have it on hand) Salt and pepper (always kosher and always fresh cracked)

In a hot pan, give it a go with some olive oil so you have enough to work with. Sauté some finely chopped onions with a pinch of salt and add the duck livers when the onions are clear. Let them go until they start to form a fond (the brown bits). (Note: Between you and me, meat doesn’t “caramelize” — that’s what happens to sugar at 350 degrees — think toast. When meat browns, it’s a Maillard reaction, named after some scientist, and it happens around 290 degrees. I always hear people say, “Cook the meat until it caramelizes.” Well, you might as well be cooking a hockey puck because it never will). And

SPICY CUCUMBERAVOCADO SOUP 2 whole avocado, firm and ripe 1/2 (5 ounces) hot house cucumber, cut into 1/2 inch pieces 8 ounces plain low-fat yogurt (1 cup) 3 tablespoons chives, chopped 1 teaspoon key lime juice, freshly squeezed 1 teaspoon salt to taste

1/2 teaspoon jalapeño chile, chopped with seeds 1 cup (about 8) ice cubes Garnish 1/2 medium avocado, diced 1 tablespoon chives, chopped

Peel and pit avocados. Blend all ingredients in a blender until very smooth, about 1 minute. — Recipe from www. melissas.com.

PISTACHIO CRUSTED CHICKEN 3 tablespoons Asian sesame oil 2 tablespoons grated, fresh ginger root 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon honey 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon paprika 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound) 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped 2 tablespoons cornmeal 1 egg, beaten

Mix sesame oil, ginger, lemon juice, honey, garlic and paprika; toss with chicken, cover and marinate in

refrigerator for several hours. Mix pistachios and cornmeal. Dip marinated chicken pieces first in egg, then in pistachio mixture, pressing the nuts on. Place in baking pan; bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until done. Makes 4 servings. — Recipe from www.pistachiohealth.com

LINGUINE WITH GRILLED SHRIMP AND ARUGULAPARSLEY PESTO 2 cloves garlic 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted 1 cup packed arugula leaves 1 cup packed parsley leaves 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling shrimp 2 tablespoons reduced-fat ricotta cheese 2 tablespoons grated ParmigianoReggiano cheese Ground black pepper, to taste 1 pound dried whole-wheat linguine or spaghetti 1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined medium or large shrimp 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

To make pesto, combine

garlic, walnuts, arugula, parsley and olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Transfer to a large serving bowl and stir in ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano and black pepper. Set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add linguine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, following package directions for timing. Drain, reserving some water. Stir 1 tablespoon of the reserved pasta cooking water into the pesto. Add pasta to pesto, stir to combine and cover to keep warm. While pasta cooks, preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill shrimp, flipping once, until deep golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove shrimp from skewers and add to pasta and pesto. Toss to combine and serve. — www.wholefoodsmarket.com

Asparagus star of nutritious soup

Duck CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8B

ered, until just crisp-tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain asparagus well. Cook bacon in a large heavy skillet until golden and crisp, then transfer to a cutting board, reserving fat in skillet. Finely chop bacon. Whisk together finely chopped shallots, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl, then whisk in 3 tablespoons hot bacon fat. Toss greens with enough warm dressing to coat and sprinkle with bacon. Serve immediately. — Recipe from www.organicvalley.coop

now I’ll step off of my soap box. Add some chopped garlic, pepper, a fair bit of thyme (I also added some of the cheap champagne we had available, but normally you would use some good whisky), a bit of cream and a few pats of butter. Let it all reduce and deglaze with just a bit of good wine vinegar. Transfer to a food processor and purée. If you have trouble with it becoming smooth because it’s sticking to the sides, just add a little olive oil at a time and scrape it back down with a spatula. (Another note: Usually, you would add some bacon or other tasty (fatty) pork parts while cooking, but this is what we had and pulled off as an afterthought.) After everything is smooth, scrape onto the requisite fancy serving dish, dress with cracked pepper or herbs, break out some crackers, Dijon and anything pickled. Enjoy! So with our crackers and olives and pickled beans, we also had a hunk of good cheddar, and Adam’s fantastic On-The-Fly Duck Liver Pâté. That’s right folks, we know how to live. Now, for the main course we were having the ducks, and the duck fat french fries, and I roasted some asparagus and tomatoes and purchased some good bread, but that didn’t seem like quite enough, so I decided to make leek soup. It was stupid good.

CREAMY LEEK SOUP 3 large leeks, sliced thin 2 cups chicken broth 1 cup whipping cream 1 cup champagne 1/2 cup red wine 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt and pepper to taste

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, and add the leeks and minced garlic. Cook and stir until the leeks are translucent. Add the wine and the champagne, and turn up the heat to reduce it a little. Add the chicken broth and then puree. For this, you can either transfer it to a blender or a food processor, or, if you have a stick blender, this would be a great application for it. Once it’s all nice and smooth, add the dairy and reheat over medium heat. Salt and pepper, and just before serving, sprinkle in the cheese. Serve with a nice piece of crusty bread and a good rose. We had ours with a lovely J Vineyards Rose. Of course, once we’d all had our share of crackers, pate and other bites, and then a little later the soup (well, before dinner was served), we were sort of uninterested in the main courses. Not that it mattered — we lapped it up with gusto anyway. But that always happens to me. I enjoy the pregame much more than the real show.

By Jim Romanoff Associated Press Writer

Global markets and hightech shipping methods have put asparagus on our tables virtually year-round, yet most of us still associate it with spring. But whenever you eat it, asparagus is a nutritional powerhouse. It is low in calories (about 5 calories per stalk) and is packed with vitamins A, C and E, and folate. Green, purple and white varieties of asparagus are common, though green is the least expensive and most readily available. Green asparagus has a fresh, woodsy flavor, while purple varieties tend to have a more fruity flavor. White asparagus is milder in flavor and should always be peeled before cooking. When shopping for asparagus, look for firm stalks with tight tips. Fresh asparagus should snap when bent. Though best eaten the day purchased, asparagus can be refrigerated, wrapped in a damp cloth inside a plastic bag, for three days. Though not essential, peeling tough-skinned stalks with a vegetable peeler will help ensure that the tips and otherwise thicker stalks cook at the same rate. And be sure to rinse all asparagus thoroughly before cooking to remove any lingering sand. For this simple asparagus and potato soup, all the vegetables are roasted at high heat, caramelizing their natural sugars and enhancing the flavors. They then are pureed until smooth and combined with thick, nonfat Greekstyle yogurt, which gives the soup a creamy quality that belies its low-fat nutritional profile. To top off the soup, shreds of sweet and salty prosciutto ham are crisped in a skillet to create a garnish that has all the appeal of crumbled bacon, without all the grease.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND POTATO SOUP

Matthew Mead/AP Photo

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND POTATO SOUP 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste 2 ounces prosciutto, chopped 3 cups chicken broth, divided 6 ounces nonfat plain Greek-style yogurt 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon

Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the garlic on a square of foil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon water. Fold the foil into a packet. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, potatoes, onion, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat. Spread the vegetables over 2 large, rimmed baking sheets. Place the packet of garlic in one corner of one of the sheets. Roast, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus pieces are soft and the potatoes are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium, crisp the prosciutto, about 5 minutes per side. When the vegetables are roasted, empty the garlic onto the baking sheet with the other vegetables and cool for 5 minutes. Transfer half of the vegeta-

6 cloves garlic 1 1/4 pounds asparagus, bottoms trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups) 2 cups peeled and diced Yukon Gold potatoes 1 medium sweet onion, cut into 6 wedges

bles into a blender. Add 1 1/2 cups of the broth, then blend until smooth. Transfer to a large pot. Repeat using the remaining vegetables and remaining 1 1/2 cups of broth. Warm the soup over medium heat. Whisk the yogurt, lemon juice and tarragon into the soup. Season with salt and

pepper to taste. Crumble the prosciutto and use to top each serving. Nutrition information per serving: 233 calories; 6 grams fat (1 gram saturated; zero trans fats); 12 milligrams cholesterol; 33 grams carbohydrate; 13 grams protein; 5 grams fiber; 1,355 milligrams sodium.

“THE FLYING FORK”

a blog by Megan Stuke

Dinner pals ready to pâté I

’ll admit that my favorite part of almost any meal is the appetizer, if there is one. When I get a new cookbook, the first part I pore over is the section called “Appetizers and Snacks” or some facsimile thereof. If I had my way, I’d be a grazer. We’d live on crackers and cheese and pizza bites and marinated mushrooms with feta. But I would double in size, and I’m not sure it would accommodate feeding a family every night, anyway. “Here, dear, have a cocktail weenie and a bit of smoked salmon on crostini with capers...” Yeah, not so much. Still, I love a good table laden with snacks and bites of this and that. When we planned the If I had my duck dinner, I way, I’d be a knew I’d need some pre-meal grazer. We’d live on eats. And considering we’d crackers and be spending a cheese and lot of time just pizza bites and creating the meal itself, I marinated tried to plan a mushrooms couple of simwith feta. But I ple things to snack on while would double we drank wine in size, and I’m and cooked the not sure it main parts of would the show. First, I accommodate picked up a tub feeding a of olives and family every such from the night, anyway.” bar at Dillons. It’s really good, if you’ve never visited it. I had several kinds of marinated olives, some hunks of fresh mozzarella, roasted garlic, and these whole marinated onions that made me want to write my congressman, because being that delicious has to be a crime. Do not shy away from the onions. They are sweet and flavorful and not at all overpowering. Amazing. And I grabbed a jar of the green beans I pickled last summer from the pantry and threw them in for good measure. I also made a batch of what I call “wine crackers,” and I don’t know why I call them that except, well, they seem to go well with wine and possibly cheese.

THE BASIL LEAF CAFE, 3300 W. Sixth St., is offering a special St. Patrick’s Day tortellini dish with red pepper, corned beef, cabbage, sweet corn and onion tossed in a sweet pea and pesto cream and then garnished with crisp baby red potato.

Shades of

GREEN ————

Naturally hued foods tasty for St. Patrick’s Day and beyond

all know about the green beer, and how that’s a festive way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. But what about the green food? We’re not talking about anything silly like green eggs and ham or anything overdone for St. Patty’s like corned beef and (greenish) cabbage. Instead, we found recipes that have a hint of green without being forced or artificial. In fact, thanks to green darlings like asparagus, limes, avocados, peas and pesto greens (in this case, arugula and parsley), it’s easy to do green right to celebrate the luck of the Irish. — Sarah Henning

SPLIT-PEA SOUP 3 cups dry split peas 7 cups water or veggie stock 1 bay leaf 1 tablespoon dry mustard 2 cups minced onion 5 medium cloves garlic, crushed 3 stalks celery, sliced thin 2 medium carrots , sliced or diced 1 small potato, cut in half lengthwise and sliced thinly 1 tablespoon salt Lots of fresh-ground black pepper 4 tablespoons red wine or cider vinegar (balsamic would be good, too)

Place split peas, water or stock, bay leaf and dry mustard in a large soup kettle. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to lowest setting and simmer for about 20 minutes, partially covered. Add onion, garlic, celery, carrots and potato. Partially cover and simmer for an additional 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pepper, vinegar and salt if desired. Serve topped with fresh tomato and/or minced parsley.

Staying out of others’ issues clears up resentment Annie’s Mailbox

they ate more than I had ever seen them eat before. My mother-in-law said they skipped meals knowing they were coming over for dinner. Needless to say, there were no leftovers, and I was not happy. I don’t intend to invite them too often anymore. Annie, please remind people to be considerate guests. — Love My In-Laws, But

Dear Love: Honey, if you didn’t want your in-laws to eat future. Is there anything I the food, you should not have can do? — Aurora invited them for dinner. A gracious hostess does not expect Dear Aurora: You need to stay out of this entirely. While Ruth should not be dictating the terms of your other friendships, you should not be talking about Bethany with anyone. Your resentment is coming through loud and clear, and both Ruth and her daughter can pick up on it. If necessary, apologize to Ruth for any misunderstanding, but otherwise, drop the subject. Your husband can deal with his own friendships. anniesmailbox@creators.com

“Glee” has done so well mining comedy from musical performance, why shouldn’t a real musician appear on a sitcom? Singer/songwriter James Taylor guest stars on “Mr. Sunshine” (8:30 p.m., ABC). The recent subject of the PBS documentary “Troubadours” guest stars as Billy, one of Crystal’s (Allison Janney) six exhusbands. True to form, Taylor plays Billy as a singer, and he and Janney even share a duet, performing the Leon Russell song “A Song for You.” A performer for more than 40 years, Taylor has made many television appearances, but usually as a musician and, naturally, playing himself. His credits as an actor are relatively slim, but he did have a memorable turn in the 1971 car-culture classic “TwoLane Blacktop.” He has sung at the Oscars and sung for “The Simpsons,” and he appeared as himself once on “The West Wing,” which brings us back to Allison Janney, who most people know from that show. ● Like James Taylor, Iranian-born actress Shohreh Aghdashloo (“24”) has lent her voice on “The Simpsons.” And she guest stars on a repeat episode of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (8 p.m., NBC) tonight. Strangely enough, 1970s comedian Robert Klein has never appeared on “The Simpsons,” but he does have a guest spot on another helping of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (9 p.m., NBC), along with Colm Feore, a Canadian actor who has never appeared on “The Simpsons.” Second only to that long-running cartoon about orange, four-fingered characters, “Law & Order: SVU” has probably emerged as the show with the most intriguing guest stars. This season, “SVU” cast Debra Messing (“Will & Grace”) as a crusading TV journalist, and most notably Jeremy Irons as a therapist and father with a troubled past. Of course, last season, “SVU” also cast comedian and reality star Kathy Griffin as a lesbian activist. Griffin also guest starred on last night’s “Glee.” ● Mary Lynn Rajskub (“24”), seen just last week on “Raising Hope,” guests stars as Mitchell’s old flame on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC). ● The contestants sing to survive on a two-hour helping of “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox). Last week, Ashton Jones became the first to be eliminated from the top 13. She looked the part and at times acted the part, but her singing was, well, kinda, sorta bad. Not that you would know it from the current judges. Sometimes I miss Simon Cowell reminding us that this is, after all, a singing competition.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Director Martin Scorsese interviews his parents about their early life in Sicily in the 1974 documentary “Italianamerican” (6 p.m., TCM). ● The Coen brothers (“True Grit”) introduced themselves to most viewers with their 1984 film-noir update “Blood Simple” (7 p.m., IFC). ● A mad bomber targets schools on “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Hepatitis breaks out in a prison population on “Off the Map” (9 p.m., ABC). ● A bandit returns to his old hunting ground on “Justified” (9 p.m., FX).

Unscramble these four Jumbles, one letter to each square, to form four ordinary words.

RANOP GCFIAN USOIDT

Dear Annie: I am the second wife of the nicest, most wonderful man I have ever known. “John” and I have been in a happy marriage for seven years. John is friends with “Ruth,” a 36-year-old mother of two, and her husband. The problem is their out-of-control 16year-old daughter, “Bethany.” The girl is jealous, manipulative and vindictive. She tells tales, runs around town at all hours, has wrecked her share of vehicles and has an excuse for every problem she causes. This would be none of my business, except one of my friends is the mother of Bethany’s on-again, off-again best friend. The mothers of these girls don’t like each other and have had a number of verbal confrontations. Recently, I received an emotionally charged call from Ruth demanding I end my relationship with my friend. Supposedly, I made certain comments that have hurt Bethany’s feelings, even though Ruth admitted the information may not be true. The only thing I am guilty of is resenting this child. John and Ruth’s husband are both great fellows, and I’m afraid this will harm their relationship. Either way, Bethany will most certainly make more trouble in the
