“The candidates that can turn out their voters will win these elections because you don’t have a lot of casual voters in a cityschools election.”

After several months of campaigning and 20 days of advance voting, Election Day has arrived for choosing three Lawrence city commissioners, four members of the Lawrence school board and still other members of city councils and school boards in other area communities.

LAWRENCE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CARDIOLOGISTS Roger Dreiling, left, and Tapas “Joey” Ghose discuss a case outside their offices at Cardiovascular Specialists of Lawrence on Monday. Ghose, who refers to Dreiling as his mentor, is among a small percentage of cardiologists who use an artery in the arm rather than the leg for heart diagnostic tests. A study released Monday at the American College of Cardiology conference found fewer complications with the method Ghose prefers than with the traditional method.

Dr. Tapas “Joey” Ghose, a Lawrence cardiologist, prefers using an artery in his patients’ arms instead of their legs for heart diagnostic tests and procedures to open clogged arteries.

He’s one of few doctors nationwide who do.

Ghose says it’s better for patients because there are fewer complica-

tions and the recovery time is much quicker.

“It’s much more safe,” he said, during an interview in his office at Cardiovascular Specialists of Lawrence.

The Douglas County Senior Center will honor the dean of the Kansas University School of Pharmacy for his school’s contributions to serving the local senior community.

Ken Audus said that receiving the award is “very flattering” and said it is always good to gain recognition for doing something good in the community.

“I really feel like I’m accepting it for the School of Pharmacy,” Audus said. “Deans get credit for a lot of things. They also get blamed for a lot of things. But I certainly acknowledge that what’s happened, particularly with the senior center, has involved our students.”

The pharmacy school has initiated a number of programs involving local residents, including free bone density screenings and health fairs.

This year’s award is partic-

ularly meaningful, said Jessie Kwatamdia, project manager for the Douglas County Senior Center, because of Jim Seaver’s death this month.

The senior center will honor the former KU professor and longtime civic leader during its program, Kwatamdia said.

Kansas cleared to reopen water dispute with Nebraska

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday reopened Kansas’ lawsuit against Nebraska aimed at stopping its northern neighbor from using Republican River water to irrigate thousands of acres of farmland.

The high court gave Kansas permission to file a new petition over its allegations that Nebraska took more than its share of water in 2005 and 2006 — enough to supply a city of 100,000 people for a decade. Kansas sued Nebraska over the Republican River in 1998. The two states settled the case five years later, but Kansas contends Nebraska violated the terms of the agreement.

Now Kansas wants to force

Nebraska to reduce farm irrigation in 500,000 of the 1.2 million acres in its its portion of the nearly 25,000- portion of the Republican River square-mile river basin and to pay basin, and farmers there would have Kansas back for the economic gains to rely on rain to grow crops.

The Associated Press. “We’d In Kansas, there’s been bipartisan prefer to solve it like neighbors, but we do expect Nebraska to live up to support for efforts to force Nebraska to cut its water use. The Sunflower the commitments it has made.”

If Kansas prevails, Nebraska will State’s request to the U.S. Supreme be forced to stop irrigating about Court to reopen the lawsuit was filed

last year by Attorney General Steve Six, a Democrat unseated by Schmidt in the November election. Schmidt and Bruning are Republicans.

“We don’t believe Nebraska has lived up to its end of the bargain,” Schmidt said. “The court at least believed our claim had enough merit to take a look.”

Water lawsuits among states are filed directly with the Supreme Court, but it typically appoints a special master to review evidence and make recommendations to the justices.

Use of the Republican River’s water is governed by a 1943 compact between Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska. Colorado was given 11 percent of the water, while Nebraska was allotted 49 percent and Kansas, 40 percent.

Friday at Grace Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Lawrence. Burial will follow in Oak Hill Cemetery in Lawrence.

He died Sunday, April 3, 2011, at the home of his daughter and son-in-law in rural Linwood.

Mr. Erhart was born March 21, 1916, in Ness City, the son of Andrew James Erhart and Lillie Maggie Conard Erhart.

He graduated from the Spartan School of Aeronautics A-E course with a two-year aerospace engineering equivalent in 1941.

Mr. Erhart became the fixed base operator, or FBO, and airport manager with shop facilities in Larned in 1945. He then moved to Lawrence with his family in 1951. He and his wife owned and operated Erhart Flying Service and Erhart Spraying Service as the full-service fixed base operator of the Lawrence airport with complete maintenance and rebuilding facilities. He held inspection authorization since its inception. He had his commercial pilot license with single and multi-engine land rating with flight instructor, instrument and instrument instructor rating, and was a private and commercial pilot examiner. He helped flood victims during the 1951 flood in Lawrence.

He was the FBO in Lawrence until 1971. During that time, he also managed the airports in St. Joseph, Mo., and Olathe. On the 80th anniversary of the Lawrence Municipal Airport, he was recognized for 20 years of leadership as airport manager and FBO. By the time of his medical

and was the only cardiologist to practice the arm method.

This year, Ghose estimates, he’s done all but two cases through the arm.

The advantages, he says, are: ● Fewer complications. In the leg, the artery is much deeper and more difficult to access. The leg process can cause bruising, a blood clot and a leaking hole in the artery among other things. ● Better recovery. When using the leg, heavy pressure must be applied to the puncture site for about 30 minutes by a health professional, and then the patient must lie flat on his or her back for four to six hours. Patients can’t drive for 24 hours and their physical activity is limited for up to seven days.

When using the arm, a pressure pump is worn around the wrist to stop blood flow. Often, patients can sit up immediately after the procedure, and eat and drink. Once home, the only restriction is not to lift more than 10 pounds with the affected arm.

“For patient comfort, it’s great,” Ghose said.

Both procedures take the same amount of time when doing a diagnostic test. But the wrist procedure can take more time if an artery must be fixed, Ghose said.

He said the two procedures are very different.

“The learning curve is kind of steep. It’s basically learning everything all over again.”

need to be able to deal with the public.

“As first points of contact in the health care system, they have to be very accessible,” he said. “They have to be very people-oriented. Getting them into the communities early as students gets them experience in doing that and a comfort level with doing that.”

Laura Randall, a secondyear pharmacy student from Augusta, said she had participated in community events through the school, including health screenings.

Randall is the president of the Academy of Student Pharmacists, a student service, networking and advocacy group in the pharmacy school.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD announced in early February that she had dropped out of the race.

Shew remains hopeful that turnout will reach 20 percent of registered voters, which would be typical for an April election. More than 1,000 people have cast ballots, either by mail or in person through advance voting.

Already recording higherthan-normal turnouts include precincts where voters will be casting ballots today at Cordley and New York schools, two neighborhoods where people are concerned about potential school consolidations.

“There’s got to be an issue that drives it,” Shew said.

“There are not a lot of voters who show up just to vote.”

— Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Dr. Roger Dreiling, 59, a Lawrence cardiologist and Ghose’s colleague, has been doing these procedures through the leg since 1984, and he has no plans to change.

“It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, and the major risk of leg versus arm is bleeding and our bleeding complication rates in this hospital (Lawrence Memorial Hospital) are less than 1 percent,” he said.

Dr. David Rios, 48, who joined Cardiovascular Specialists in July, is learning from Ghose how to do diagnostic testing using the arm method. Rios has been practicing for 14 years.

“From the patient perspective, it’s better,” he said.

The RIVAL trial was funded by the Canadian government, a Canadian nonprofit, and Sanofi-Aventis SA and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. Results were published online by the journal Lancet.

American College of Cardiology’s president, Dr. Ralph Brindis, said the study should be “a tipping point” to boost the arm method in the U.S. “Every study that’s ever been done shows it’s safer,” said Duke University’s Dr. Sunil Rao, who led one of them.

The Associated Press contributed to this story.

“I like that the opportunities are not all, for a lack of better wording, self-serving,” she said.

They include opportunities that go outside the traditional medical field, including participation in Relay for Life and Boys and Girls Clubs.

That’s important for students, too, Audus said.

“I grew up in a small town, and the pharmacists there were looked at as community leaders,” he said. “That’s the other thing that our students have to have an impression of, that as a member of a community, you’re going to be looked upon as a leader.”

OTTAWA

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Obama launches re-election campaign No longer the fresh voice of change, President Barack Obama embarked on a bid for re-election Monday by asking a divided, anxious electorate to let him finish the job he won in 2008. He’s getting an early start against a Republican field that’s still undefined, but he’s saddled with an ailing economy that still isn’t working for millions of voters.

Obama began with an effort to recapture his outsider’s touch of 2008, bypassing a public statement from the White House in favor of an email sent to millions of supporters.

He offered a kickoff video in which official Washington is ignored and even Obama himself only makes a fleeting appearance. What the campaign wanted voters to see instead were people like them speaking of real-life concerns and their faith in Obama, against wholesome backdrops in every clip: a church, a farm, a family in a kitchen, an American flag.

He told supporters later in the day he needs their help again, perhaps more than he did four years ago, because “we may not have the exact same newness that we had in 2008.”

Court OKs tax breaks for private schools A Supreme Court divided along ideological lines said Monday that ordinary taxpayers cannot challenge government programs that use tax breaks to direct money to religious activities.

The court ruled 5-4 in favor of an Arizona scholarship program for private schools that has mainly benefited religious schools in offering a dollar-fordollar reduction in the income tax bill of people who participate.

The decision cheered supporters of school choice and dismayed civil libertarians who said it will be harder to use federal courts to claim violations of the Constitution’s prohibition on direct government aid to religion.

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the court’s majority opinion that held that the Arizona taxpayers who challenged the program have no stake in the dispute that would allow them to take their case to federal court.

Man accused of mistreating dependent adult

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has filed felony charges against a 64-year-old Ottawa man accusing him of taking advantage of an elderly woman to gain more than $100,000 after she had given him power of attorney.

Prosecutors filed two counts of mistreatment of a dependent adult on March 30 against Guadalupe Mora, who was arrested late last week on a war-

rant in the case.

A Franklin County judge has set Mora’s bond at $20,000 cash or surety, and Jeff Wagaman, a spokesman for Schmidt, said Monday that Mora was still in custody in the Franklin County Jail. He appeared in court Monday to have an attorney appointed in the case.

Mora is scheduled to appear in court again Thursday.

Prosecutors provided little information about the case Monday. According to court records, Mora is accused of

making payments to himself or others using Edna Brouhard’s various financial accounts and resources from March 30, 2006, to May 1, 2007, in Franklin County. The witness list in the case includes records for several businesses and the Franklin County treasurer’s office.

In the second count, Mora is accused of falsely representing himself or using false pretenses during the alleged acts.

Musician wins presidential election

3 | NEW YORK CITY

Couric leaving CBS anchor post Katie Couric is leaving her anchor post at “CBS Evening News” less than five years after becoming the first woman to solely helm a network TV evening newscast.

A network executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Couric has not officially announced her plans, reported the move to The Associated Press on Sunday night. The 54-year-old anchor is expected to launch a syndicated talk show in 2012 and several companies are vying for her services.

Couric’s move from NBC’s “Today” show was big news in 2006, and she began in the anchor chair with a flourish that September. She tried to incorporate her strengths as an interviewer into a standard evening news format and millions of people who normally didn’t watch the news at night checked it out. But they drifted away, and the evening newscast reverted to a more traditional broadcast.

No departure date has been set for Couric.

Musician Michel “Sweet Micky” Martelly scored a come-from-behind victory Monday in Haiti’s presidential runoff, according to preliminary results from last month’s election showing he easily defeated a former first lady for the leadership of a country facing enormous challenges.

Martelly, who has never held political office, received nearly 68 percent of the vote in the twoway race with Mirlande Manigat, electoral council spokesman Pierre Thibault said in an announcement that was immediately followed by noisy celebration in the Haitian capital.

Thousands of Martelly supporters poured into the streets of Port-au-Prince, carrying Martelly posters, climbing onto cars and cheering loudly. A huge crowd of singing and chanting supporters marched to his house.

Wagaman said Franklin County prosecutors asked the attorney general’s office to prosecute the case. Each count carries a possible penalty of 17 to 46 months in prison.

Officials in Franklin County and the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services initially investigated the case, Wagaman said.

GORDON MICHELS OF MIDWEST IRRIGATION SYSTEMS INC. surveys the damage done to an irrigation pivot just north of Williamstown on Monday. Experts are calling the storm, which damaged various properties around the area, a “gustnado.”

Storm leaves minor damage

By Brenna Hawley

“

I’ve lived here 40-some years, and I’ve never seen A “gustnado” rolled through something like that.” bhawley@ljworld.com

Williamstown on Sunday evening, damaging irrigation equipment, at least one structure and a railroad crossing.

According to Scott Blair, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service, the dust cloud was not technically a tornado, but instead an area of enhanced wind damage — called a gustnado — that hit the small community about 10 m i l e s n o r t hwe s t o f Lawrence in Jefferson County.

He said that about 7:20 p.m., the gustnado had a strong vortex at the surface that may have made it look like a tornado.

The gustnado was part of the storm that produced two-inch hail.

— Barbara Mowder, of Williamstown A report from the National Weather Service said winds inside the gustnado blew up to 80 mph. It lasted for five minutes, and at one point was a quarter-mile wide.

B a r ba ra Mowd e r, Williamstown resident, said s h e h a d b e e n watc h i n g weather reports on television when she started hearing the wind.

“This had more of a roar to it,” she said Monday morning.

Mowder said it looked like a large dust cloud. She watched as the gustnado took out a metal building in a field. At

least two irrigation systems were damaged by the storm, and the arms were ripped off a railroad crossing.

Mowder said she didn’t hear tornado sirens until after the storm moved through.

“I’ve lived here 40-some years, and I’ve never seen something like that,” Mowder said. “I’ve seen tornadoes on the news, but this was so much different.”

Gordon Michels, with Midwest Irrigation Systems, was assessing damage Monday to the two irrigation systems that were blown around during Sunday’s storm. He said to replace both new would be $55,000. He said such damage wasn’t uncommon during high winds or tornadoes.

Steve Nowak has a wish list. At the top of that list is a historical basketball, circa the James Naismith era.

The basketball would fill what Nowak said is a gap in the collection at Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Mass., where Nowak is executive director.

“An antique basketball from the early days would be a signature item in the collection,” he said. Nai- Nowak smith, the inventor of basketball, started Kansas University’s basketball program in 1898.

Nowak, who took over the directorship at the museum on Feb. 28, wants to push the museum toward being an educational tool filled with tangible historical objects. In the past, it’s been mainly a research station, but he wants the collection to tell stories.

The museum has 35,000 objects, so Nowak said he’s not sure what other gaps there are to fill with new pieces.

“We’re just now starting to identify stories we want to tell with the permanent collection,” he said.

Nowak said the museum was looking for artifacts such as the basketball or handwritten letters from 150 years ago. He said household items would be helpful and any photos that could accompany them.

Q:

Eudora joins loan program for energy efficiency upgrades

I know the University of Connecticut’s women’s basketball team lost in the women’s NCAA Final Four to Notre Dame, but what is the last game they lost before then?

By Christine Metz

A:

The Huskies lost at Stanford Dec. 30, 2010, 7 1-59. Before that game, UConn had won 90 games in a row. The previous loss to that was April 6, 2008, to Stanford again. They were defeated 82-73 that game.

The city of Eudora is the latest utility provider to sign on to the state’s zero percent interest loan program, which gives Kansans an extra incentive to make energy efficiency upgrades to homes and small businesses.

In April, Eudora began offering loans that are intended to cover the cost of home improvements that will slash energy bills. For Eudora, the loans can range from $2,000 to $20,000 and will be repaid through a monthly charge on the city’s electric bill.

The energy efficiency upgrades covered through the loans are based on a home energy audit completed before the loan is issued. The loan has to be repaid in 15 years.

The program is part of Efficiency Kansas, a $34 million initiative funded through stimulus money and managed through the Kansas Energy Office.

Eudora is among 17 other city utility providers offering the loan. Lawrence residents can access the zero percent interest loans through Westar Energy, which is the largest utility provider in the state to partner with Eff iciency Kansas.

So far, the state has issued a little more than 200 loans.

Don Swartz, the energy manager for the cities of Eudora and Baldwin City, and Eudora School District, said he already knows of a halfdozen Eudora residents who are interested in taking out a loan and two people who have gone ahead with the home energy audit.

Crews arrived at the garage on Irving Hill Road about 10:45 a.m. after a report of a chemical on the third level near the KU Parking and Transit office.

KU Public Safety spokesman Capt. Schuyler Bailey said fire and medical workers packaged up a sealed bottle that was labeled to have biodiesel fuel and heptane inside. It was left on top of a pay station inside the garage.

"It's not a hazard. It's in a container, and it's sealed," Bailey said. "At no time was there a release of any product."

Bailey said the packaged bottle was turned over to personnel with the KU Environment, Health and Safety department. Crews cleared the scene about 11:40 a.m.

“People do seem to be getting more environmentally friendly and are looking to be green and looking for ways to save,” Swartz said.

Eudora Councilwoman Ruth Hughs was the first in the city to get a home energy audit through Eff iciency Kansas and thought that loan program would be something that could benefit the city’s 2,450 utility customers.

“We will provide for them a way to do things to make living expenses less, and I like that,” Hughs said.

The intent is for the home improvements to pay for themselves through lower energy bills.

“I think the program is a win-win,” Hughs said.

“It took some convincing” before the Eudora City Council approved the program, Swartz said. Many of the concerns centered on the extra time it would take city staffers to process the loans and applications.

Swartz, whose position is funded through a two-year grant, said he would get the loan program up and running and that software has been upgraded to help manage the loans.

Swartz also is working with Baldwin City to offer the zero percent interest loan program to its electric customers.

Here are some details about Eudora’s loan program and who qualifies for it: ● Customers must have a home energy audit done through the Efficiency Kansas program. Until October 2011, the regular $600 audit will cost $100. Homeowners must pay the auditors $100 when they arrive at the home. ● The resident must be a customer of Eudora’s electric utility. ● Residents must have 12 consecutive months of ontime payments to the electric utility. Also, the customer cannot have had service disconnected because of nonpayment in the past five years. ● Tenants must have their landlord’s approval before taking out a loan. The loan will be repaid through charges on the landlord’s utility bill, not the tenant’s. ● If the owner sells the home or business before the loan is repaid, the loan amount must be disclosed as part of the selling process. ● The first step in the loan process is to get a home energy audit, which can be set up online at EfficiencyKansas.com or by calling 877-448-3185. ● For more information on Eudora’s loan program, contact Swartz: donswartz@ eudoraschools.org or 816-8354781.

Pharmacy school in top 5 for NIH funding

The JournalWorld found gas prices as low as $3.49 at several stations. If you find a lower price, call 832-7154.

Still, he said, looking simply at the total dollar amount funded might not be the best way to judge a KANSAS UNIVERSITY school’s performance.

“Just because research is more expensive, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s better,” he said.

But looking at NIH funding is still a good indicator of success, he said, largely because of stringent peer-review panels.

Today, about 10 percent of all proposals receive NIH funds.

“You basically have to be at the top of the game and have ideas that are really relevant and be able to communicate that in a very effective way and convince your peers you’re worthy of funding,” Audus said.

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s School of Pharmacy is ranked fourth in the nation in funding from the National Institutes of Health.

The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy reported that KU received more than $18.4 million in NIH funding in the 2010 fiscal year.

The University of California-San Francisco was ranked at the top of the list.

KU also ranked in the top 10 for percentage of full-time faculty members who receive NIH funding. In fiscal year 2010, 45 percent of KU’s 40 pharmacy professors received funding.

“It’s about four decades we’ve been ranked now,” said Ken Audus, KU’s dean of its School of Pharmacy, and KU has been among the top 10 for the last 10 years.

Jeff Aube is a professor of medicinal chemistry who leads research teams on two major grants that bring in millions of dollars of annual funding.

KANSAS BIOSCIENCE AUTHORITY

Grant would help Pinnacle develop biosensors

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

The Kansas Bioscience Authority’s investment committee recommended on Monday that the authority grant nearly $425,000 to Lawrence-based Pinnacle Technology Inc. The money would be used to further develop the company’s biosensors that can detect brain activity, said David Vranicar, president of Heartland BioVentures, the commercialization arm of the KBA. It would serve as a

matching grant for the company’s $850,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health.

The full board of the KBA could consider the committee’s recommendation during a meeting in May, Vranicar said.

Though Pinnacle Technology has shifted its focus several times over the years, it now primarily focuses on biomedical tools used for data acquisition in mice and rats, said Donna Johnson, Pinnacle’s CEO. This particular project would measure real-time

alcohol levels in the brain, Johnson said. It would improve the rate of data collection, which today is taken about every five minutes.

The new technology would collect data every second.

The data can be used to determine, for example, the effects of alcohol on longterm sleep patterns, along with other brain activity, Johnson said.

It is based on technology originally developed in chemistry laboratories at Kansas University.

BRIEFLY Tonganoxie residents injured in accident Two Tonganoxie residents were injured Sunday afternoon in a motorcycle accident about nine miles northeast of Lawrence, according to the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s office.

According to an accident report, driver Bret A. Clark, 48, lost control of a 1998 Harley Davidson motorcycle on a curve east of 243rd Street on U.S. Highway 24-40. The accident occurred just after 4 p.m.

Officers said that the motorcycle had a worn rear tire and that Clark lost control on sand on the road. The motorcycle went into a ditch and flipped over.

Clark was taken via LifeStar helicopter ambulance to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., and his passenger Lorie A. Reavis, 44, was taken to KU Hospital via ambulance, according to the accident report.

No condition updates were available late Monday.

Border War experts featured in workshop History is about to repeat itself.

Leading scholars from both sides of the Kansas-Missouri Border War will converge on Lawrence this week for a workshop, focusing on new work in the ever-changing field. They will facilitate conversations that participants say that for too long have failed to occur.

The workshop, scheduled to take place in the Hall Center for the Humanities on the Kansas University campus, will

occur Thursday and Friday.

Participants, which include many scholars from universities and colleges across the country, hope that a closer look at the war will provide insight into how societies are fragmented and then rebuilt.

Papers written as a result of the workshop will be presented during a public conference at the Kansas City Public Library in November.

Lawrence Fair Trade to host speaker at ECM A Chicago community organizer and former Indigenous Peoples of Honduras organizer is scheduled to speak in Lawrence on Wednesday.

Lawrence Fair Trade and the Mexican Solidarity Network will host Carlos Euceda at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread Drive.

The event will include a showing of the 30-minute film “A Thousand Fibers,” which focuses on the textile industry.

The film will lead into a discussion on trade policies and their effects on people and correlation with migration.

It is free and open to the public.

Wichita schools may boost corporate sponsors to help with budget crisis WICHITA (AP) — Corporate logos might be popping up in Wichita schools in the future as district officials consider ways to increase revenue while facing a $50 million budget shortfall in the next two years.

The school board is not currently considering any specific proposal but school leaders said they have to consider all suggestions to bring in money, The Wichita Eagle reported. The possibilities include increasing advertisements at schools, offering naming rights to school properties or expanding Education Edge, a foundation that seeks private donations for public schools.

“Because of economics, we have to look at all those types of things — ads, sponsorships... seeing how we could possibly increase revenue streams,” said Wichita superintendent John Allison.

Board members acknowledge that some people believe that schools should

reject commercialization because students are a captive audience for advertisers.

But they note that districts around the country are turning to corporate sponsors.

“It’s something we definitely would look at,” said board member Lynn Rogers.

“But we’d have to be careful with it. And I don’t think it’s any kind of cure-all.”

Los Angeles school leaders voted in December to overturn the district’s ban on campus advertising, which could lead to logos on cafeteria walls, ball fields, and on the sides of drums in the marching band. It could raise $18 million a year for the district. Six states allow businesses to advertise on school buses, and eight others are considering allowing the practice, the Eagle reported.

“Nobody thinks that advertising in schools is a good thing,” said Josh Golin, associate director of the Campaign for a CommercialFree Childhood, based in B oston. “It’s only when

schools are facing these really terrible, unfortunate budget shortfalls that anyone considers it.”

Wichita school board president Connie Dietz said she had some concerns when the board hired a marketing firm in 2009 to sell ads for high school gym walls, TVs and sporting events. She pushed to prevent ads for alcohol or tobacco or anything deemed inappropriate. Only 20 percent of the student-produced TV programming in schools can be ads.

“This is an education setting, so obviously the public wants us to maintain a safe and appropriate environment for our kids,” she said.

But Dietz said she is open to considering new partnerships, such as if an aircraft company offered to underwrite programs at a new technical education magnet high school, she said.

“In this day and age, we have to look at all kinds of ways of doing business,” Dietz said.

Museum

The exhibit will open Aug. 9 and look at various events on Lawrence’s main drag, from Quantrill’s Raid to civil rights protests to the 2008 NCAA national championship celebration.

Collections and exhibits of this type help people understand the community they’re a part of, Nowak said.

“The most important thing for everyone to understand about history is that history was made by people like you

and me,” he said. “When you read about it, it seems like heroes in books.”

To donate an item to the museum, call 841-4109 and speak with Nowak or museum curator Brittany Keegan.

They will want to hear a description of the item and decide whether the museum wants it. Emails and letters are also welcome.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“It’s always fun to look at stuff from the past and learn from it,” Nowak said.

From these items, Nowak hopes to create educational exhibits. His first shot at one will be this summer’s exhibition titled “It Happened on Mass Street: 150 Years in Lawrence.”

KBA funding in 2008, the company has grown from eight or nine employees to 25, Johnson said. The KBA funds have been used to help grow her company’s marketing efforts to help sell the company’s products, she said.

“We’re really starting to move from a research company to a manufacturing and sales company, and the KBA has essentially allowed us to do that,” Johnson said.

Mayor Kevin Pyle said he appreciates that Reckess keeps returning to Halstead to try to get the building in operation. Pyle said the hospital, once known as the “Little Mayo Clinic of the Great Plains,” has a huge identity in Halstead, a town of about 1,900 residents.

“There may be a lot of skeptics,” Pyle said, “but he continues to come back to Kansas when it would have been so easy to walk away.”

But Reckess has remained in contact with local leaders, which both surprised and pleased Pyle.

Water tainted by radiation dumped in ocean

By Mari Yamaguchi and Yuri Kageyama Associated Press Writers

TOKYO — Workers used a milky bathwater dye Monday as they frantically tried to trace the path of radioactive water seeping into the ocean from Japan’s tsunami-damaged nuclear plant.

The crack in a maintenance pit discovered over the weekend was the latest confirmation that radioactivity continues to spill into the environment. The leak is a symptom of the primary difficulty at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex: Radioactive water is pooling around the plant and preventing workers from powering up cooling systems needed to stabilize dangerously vulnerable fuel rods.

The plant operators also deliberately dumped 10,000 tons of tainted water — measuring about 500 times above the legal limit for radioactivity — into the ocean Monday to make space at a storage site for water that is even more highly radioactive.

Engineers have turned to a host of improvised and sometimes bizarre methods to tame the nuclear plant after it was crippled in Japan’s magnitude 9.0 quake and tsunami on March 11.

Efforts over the weekend to clog the leak with a special polymer, sawdust and even shredded newspapers failed to halt the flow at a cracked concrete maintenance pit near the shoreline. They still can’t say for sure if the pit, where radioactive iodine was measured at 10,000 times the legal limit, is the source of the leak.

Suspecting they might be targeting the wrong channel to the pit, workers tried to confirm the leak’s pathway by dumping several pounds of salts used to give bathwater a milky hue into the system, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Monday.

“There could be other possible passages that the water may be traveling. We must watch carefully and contain it as quickly as possible,” said Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for the Nuclear Safety and Industrial Agency.

Forces surround president’s home ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST — United Nations and French forces closed in on Ivory Coast’s presidential palace early today after launching full assaults on the residence of the entrenched leader, the republican guard, two major military bases and state TV. Fighters aiming to topple strongman Laurent Gbagbo had succeeded in taking nearly the entire countryside in just three days last week, but they faltered once they reached the country’s largest city, where the presidential palace and residence are located.

With the help of international forces, the armed group fighting to install the country’s democratically elected leader Alassane Ouattara pushed their way to the heart of the city to reach Gbagbo’s home. They have surrounded it, and as of early today they were waiting for him to step down, said a close adviser to Ouattara who could not be named because he is not authorized to speak to the press.

Monday’s offensive included air attacks on the ruler’s home and on three strategic military garrisons and marked an unprecedented escalation in the international community’s efforts to oust Gbagbo, who lost the presidential election in November yet has refused to cede power to Ouattara even as the world’s largest cocoa producer teetered on the brink of all-out civil war.

Union supporters across nation mark MLK’s death

By Errin Haines Associated Press Writer

ATLANTA — The eldest son of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said Monday if his father had not been killed more than four decades ago, the civil rights icon would be fighting alongside workers rallying to protect collective bargaining rights.

Martin Luther King III joined about 1,000 marchers in Atlanta and thousands more across the country to support workers’ rights on the anniversary of his father’s assassination. King was in Memphis, Tenn., supporting a black municipal sanitation workers strike April 4, 1968, when he was shot to death on a hotel balcony.

King III laid a wreath at his parents’ crypt before leading a group of clergy, labor and civil rights activists through downtown to the steps of the Georgia Capitol. Marchers held signs that read, “Stop the war on workers” and “Unions make us strong,” and sang “This Little Light of Mine.”

King III told the crowd at the statehouse that his father

lost his life in the struggle for workers’ dignity and democracy for all Americans, comparing the struggle to today’s battle over collective bargaining rights in states including Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio.

“If he were with us today, he would be at the forefront of this struggle to retain the rights of workers,” King III said to the cheering crowd. “I would’ve hoped we would be in a different place in this nation 43 years after his death. Something has gone awry in America.”

The rallies were part of a coordinated strategy by labor leaders to ride the momentum of pro-union demonstrations and national polls showing most Americans support collective bargaining rights. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and other GOP leaders have fought to reduce or strip those benefits.

Walker has argued that collective bargaining is a budget issue. He signed into law a bill the strips nearly all collective bargaining benefits

from most public workers, arguing the move will give local governments flexibility in making budget cuts needed to close the state’s $3.6 billion deficit.

Labor unions want to frame the debate as a civil rights issue, which could draw sympathy to public workers being blamed for busting state budgets with generous pensions. Arlene Holt Baker, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO, was in Atlanta for the “We

Are One” campaign, which she said included teach-ins and vigils in dozens of cities nationwide. Holt Baker said the two movements are linked and that economic justice was King’s dream.

“We need to thank these governors,” she said. “They did for us what we haven’t been able to do for ourselves for a long time. They have woken us up. They say it’s about balancing budgets, but we know it’s about union busting.”

At a rally in Cleveland, about 300 union supporters denounced Ohio Gov. John Kasich and workers vowed to block the bill he signed last week that bans public worker strikes, eliminates binding arbitration and restricts bargaining for 350,000 public employees. U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton, D-Ohio, said Republicans are trying to silence workers at the bargaining table and told the crowd that Republican lawmakers are counting on us quitting.

“We pay respect to the dignity of your work,” she said.

“We thank you. We can’t quit.”

Suspects in 9/11 attacks to face military tribunals

By Pete Yost and Eileen Sullivan Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — Yielding to political opposition, the Obama administration gave up Monday on trying avowed 9/ 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged henchmen in civilian federal court in New York and will prosecute them instead before military commissions.

The families of those killed in the Sept. 11 attacks have waited almost a decade for justice, and “it must not be delayed any longer,” Attorney General Eric Holder told a news conference at the Justice Department.

In November 2009, Holder had announced the plan for a New York trial blocks from where the Sept. 11 , 2001 , attacks destroyed the World Trade Center. That idea was thwarted by widespread opposition from Republicans and even some Democrats, particularly in New York.

Congress passed legislation that prohibits bringing any detainees from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United States.

Monday, the attorney general called those congressional restrictions unwise and unwarranted and said a legislative body cannot make prosecutorial decisions.

Although President Barack Obama made a campaign pledge to close the U.S. military prison in Cuba, Holder indicated that isn’t going to happen any time soon because of congressional restrictions.

“We must face a simple truth: those restrictions are unlikely to be repealed in the immediate future,” Holder said.

Even though closing the Guantanamo jail remains the administration’s formal goal,

ATTORNEY GENERAL Eric Holder gestures during a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington on Monday, where he announced plans to try avowed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged henchmen before a military commission.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama supported Holder’s decision to move the 9/11 trial from a civilian court to military tribunals.

Most Republicans applauded the turnabout, but Holder said he is still convinced that his earlier decision was the right one. The Justice Department had been prepared to bring “a powerful case” in civilian court, he said. Penalties for terrorists in civilian trials have so far been harsher than those decreed by military commissions.

In New York on Monday, the government unsealed an indictment that outlined its case. It charged Mohammed and the others with 10 counts relating to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The indictment said that in late August 2001, as the terrorists in the United States made final preparations, Mohammed was notified about the date of the attack and relayed that to al-

Qaida chief Osama bin Laden.

The Justice Department got a judge to dismiss the indictment Monday because of the change in trial plans.

Some 9/11 family members applauded the change to military trials.

“We’re delighted,” said Alexander Santora, 74, father of deceased f iref ighter Christopher A. Santora. The father called the accused terrorists “demonic human beings, they’ve already said that they would kill us if they could, if they got the chance they would do it again.”

Nancy Nee, whose firefighter brother George Cain died at the World Trade Center, said that the five men are “war criminals as far as I’m concerned and I think that a military trial is the right thing to do.”

But Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he is disappointed with the decision. “I believe that our justice system, which is the envy of the world, is more than capable of trying high-profile terrorism and national security cases,” Leahy said.

Republican lawmakers welcomed the shift.

“It’s unfortunate that it took the Obama administration more than two years to figure out what the majority of Americans already know: that 9/11 conspirator Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is not a common criminal, he’s a war criminal,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith of Texas.

The American Civil Liberties Union criticized the administration. Cases prosecuted in military commissions now “are sure to be subject to continuous legal challenges and delays, and their outcomes will not be seen as legitimate. That is not justice,” said ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero.

House Republicans draft 3rd stopgap bill to avoid shutdown

By David Espo Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — With budget talks deadlocked, House Republicans drafted a oneweek bill Monday night to cut spending by $12 billion, fully fund the Pentagon and avert a government shutdown threatened for Friday.

At the same time, they disclosed plans to instruct lawmakers “on how the House would operate in the event Senate Democrats shut down the government.”

The display of brinksmanship came at the end of a day marked by increasing acrimony in budget negotiations, and drew a sarcastic response from Democrats.

“House Republicans should focus on negotiating, not planning dress rehearsals for a shut down that the tea party so desires,” said Jon Summers, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. He said Democrats “remain committed to negotiating a solution that would prevent a government shutdown.”

In a closed-door meeting with the GOP rank and file, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, laid out plans to have the shutdown-averting measure ready, in case no agreement is reached with the White House and Democrats on a bill to close out the budget year.

Apart from the Pentagon money and spending cuts, officials said additional provisions may be included, a possible indication Republicans will try to force Democrats to accept some of their non-spending priorities.

With little progress evident toward a long-term compromise, Obama invited key lawmakers to the White House in search of a deal.

“Time is of the essence,” said White House press sec-

retary Jay Carney, announcing plans for today’s meeting.

“We need to get this work done.”

Congress has already passed a pair of stopgap bills to keep the government in operation for a total of five weeks, with a total of $10 billion in spending cuts attached at Republican insistence.

Officials declined to say when Republicans planned to send the new bill to the Senate, but with a deadline of Friday, it seemed possible the weekend would be consumed with maneuvering.

A one-week measure that contains an additional $12 billion would presumably be reassuring to tea partybacked lawmakers who are among the most vocal in seeking to reduce the size and scope of the government.

It would also be difficult for most Democrats to support. But by including the money the Pentagon needs for the next six months, Republicans hoped to

increase the pressure on them.

For Republicans, work on the spending bill was only part of an effort to emphasize a determination to cut federal spending. They also arranged to unveil a sweeping 10-year plan on Tuesday to slash deficits by a staggering $4 trillion or $5 trillion over a decade.

Even before the details of the plan became known, Democrats began attacking it.

But for the moment, the main focus was on the threat of a shutdown, the product of intense disagreement sparked by Republican demands for spending cuts.

Boehner relayed word he would attend the White House meeting, but he also emphasized in a statement that the $33 billion total often cited “is not enough and many of the cuts that the White House and Senate Democrats are talking about are full of smoke and mirrors.”

Southwest Airlines accident prompts emergency federal inspections

By Bob Christie and Joan Lowy Associated Press Writers

PHOENIX — Federal aviation officials readied an order Monday for emergency inspections on 80 U.S.-registered Boeing 737 jetliners like the one on which a piece of fuselage tore open more than 30,000 feet above Arizona last week.

The order, to be issued today, is aimed at finding weaknesses in the metal in the fuselage, but virtually all of the affected aircraft will have already been inspected by the time the order takes effect.

A 5-foot-long hole opened up in the roof of the Southwest Airlines plane soon after takeoff Friday from Phoenix, causing a loss of pressure and forcing pilots to make an emergency landing 125 miles to the southwest in Yuma, Ariz. No one was seriously hurt.

The safety directive applies to about 175 aircraft worldwide, including 80 planes registered in the U.S., the Federal Aviation Administration said. Of those 80, nearly all are operated by Southwest. Two belong to Alaska Airlines.

After the midair incident, Southwest grounded nearly 80 Boeing 737-300s for inspections. By Monday evening, 64 were cleared to return to the skies, but three were found with cracks similar to those found on the Arizona plane.

Friday’s incident, however,

GETTING BACK ON TRACK Southwest Airlines Co. said Monday that most of the planes it grounded over the weekend were back in the air after being inspected for microscopic cracks in the aluminum skin.

That will get Southwest back on a full schedule today after nearly 700 flights were canceled raised questions about the impact that frequent takeoffs and landings by short-haul carriers like Southwest put on their aluminum-skinned aircraft and the adequacy of the inspections.

Cracks can develop from the constant cycle of pressurizing the cabin for flight, then releasing the pressure upon landing.

Since there had been no previous accidents or major incidents involving metal fatigue in the middle part of the fuselage, Boeing maintenance procedures called only for airlines to perform a visual inspection.

But airlines, manufacturers and federal regulators have known since at least 1988 that planes can suffer microscopic fractures. That year, an 18-foot section of the upper cabin of an Aloha Airlines 737-200 peeled away in flight, sucking out a flight attendant.

The order is “certainly a step in the right direction,” said National Transportation Safety Board member Robert

and others suffered delays over three days.

It is less clear whether Southwest’s reputation will recover as quickly after one of its planes sprung a hole in the roof on Friday and three others were found to have cracks that will keep them out of service.

Sumwalt, who is in Yuma with the board’s accident investigation team.

The FAA’s emergency order will require initial inspections using electromagnetic devices on some Boeing 737 aircraft in the -300, -400 and -500 series that have accumulated more than 30,000 takeoffs and landings.

It will require repetitive inspections at regular intervals.

Southwest’s jet was 15 years old and had logged 39,000 pressurization cycles, a measurement of the number of takeoffs and landings. That’s 7.2 cycles every day for every year it has been in service.

Partner potential Lawrence’s proximity to the new Google high-speed fiber network in Wyandotte County should open up a number of academic and business opportunities.

W

ith good reason, Lawrence and Douglas County tend to look at Wyandotte County as a business competitor. With last week’s announcement that Google will locate its first ultra high-speed fiber network in Wyandotte County, local officials should start immediately to find ways to make their neighbor a business partner.

It’s only natural that Beth Johnson, director of economic development for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, would take note of the edge the network would give Wyandotte County in the competition to attract new businesses. However, she and other city leaders also are seeing the opportunities. CerCertainly, being tainly, being 20 20 miles down the miles down the road from the road from the Google experiment Google experiment puts Lawrence and puts Lawrence and Douglas County way ahead of many Douglas County way ahead of many other communities the country. other communities across Not only do we across the country.” have proximity, the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., gives us an important foot in the door. Although many details remain to be worked out, the Google network is almost guaranteed to be a boon for KUMC, which was singled out in Google publicity as an important partner in plans to develop applications for the high-speed network. In addition to faster processing of patient and research data, the network has huge potential in the area of telemedicine. It also could be a boost to faculty recruitment and KU’s effort to become a designated National Cancer Center.

But the potential doesn’t stop there. As City Commissioner Aron Cromwell pointed out, KU’s Lawrence campus provides “the closest intellectual hub” to the Kansas City area. That puts KU faculty in a prime position to participate in research and development projects related to the Google project. If and when Google expands the physical boundaries of its network, Lawrence is barely a hop and skip down Interstate 70.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of communities across the country worked hard to attract this Google project. If the new ultra highspeed network isn’t the “next big thing,” it certainly is in the running. This has the potential to be a defining moment for Wyandotte County, and Lawrence and KU officials need to work quickly and aggressively to tie into the opportunities that lie just down the road.

Taliban talks enticing but uncertain In mid-March, when Gen. David Petraeus returned from Kabul to testify before Congress, an amazing thing happened. The media hardly paid any attention.

With revolutions popping up all over the Middle East, and the United States newly embroiled in Libya, the conflict in Afghanistan has vanished from the news pages. The Afghan war has become the forgotten war.

When reminded of it by pollsters, nearly two-thirds of Americans say the war is not worth fighting, and many of the war’s onetime supporters have become doubters. Yet no one has figured out a formula to extricate most or all of the 100,000 or so U.S. troops that does not risk plunging the country back into chaos.

So it’s not surprising we’re hearing talk again of pursuing talks with the Taliban to achieve a political solution to the Afghan conflict. A report on how to jumpstart such talks was just released by the Century Foundation, based on a nine-month study led by former U.S. diplomat extraordinaire Tom Pickering and ex-U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who helped produce and implement the Bonn peace accords at the end of the 2001 Afghan war.

Brahimi says there are prospects for peace talks that didn’t exist before.

The Taliban has been under heavy pressure in southern Afghanistan because of last year’s surge of U.S. troops and a campaign by U.S. Special Forces to target Taliban commanders.

News reports indicate that they have also been beset by a wave of killings, arrests, and internal disputes in their haven in Pakistan.

“In 2006-2007 the Taliban were doing extremely well and were convinced they didn’t need to negotiate,” Brahimi said at a small

“

If Karzai makes a deal with some Taliban leaders that alienates large swaths of the Afghan people there will be no peace.” dinner in Washington last week, where the report was introduced.

“What has happened since is leading them to think it is not going to be that easy and perhaps it is better to negotiate a compromise.

“We think the Taliban may be interested in exploring negotiations, not more than that,” he added.

The task force has recommended appointing an “internationally designated facilitator” to explore if such talks are possible.

Who would appoint such a person is left vague — maybe the United Nations.

It’s clear that Brahimi wants the job. It’s also clear that the current U.N. envoy in Afghanistan, the very capable Stefan de Mistura, does not want to be bypassed.

Nor are U.S. officials — or Gen. Petraeus — likely to endorse handing off this role to an independent outsider.

The public U.S. position has been that any talks with the Taliban should be handled by Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

A senior coalition official in Kabul told me via e-mail: “All

here would welcome substantive talks, led by the Afghan High Peace Council (a not-very promising body created by Karzai) and the Afghan government.”

But the official added something more interesting: “There appears to be somewhat greater likelihood of such talks now than, say, last fall.”

Indeed, the late U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke, had been pushing for such talks, no doubt in hopes that he could repeat his success in brokering the Dayton peace accords in the Balkans. And there have been recent reports of secret exploratory talks between administration officials and senior Afghan Taliban leaders.

Such feelers have failed before.

Afghanistan’s neighbors, especially Pakistan (whose security services want to control any talks with the Taliban) may undercut them. But there is a bigger strategic question beyond who should facilitate such talks: Does the concept really offer any hope of ending the Afghan war?

This question is often finessed by those who seek talks, out of a desperate desire to break the Afghan impasse. Despite the military gains by Petraeus in “clearing” Taliban from the south, the other pillars of his strategy — hold, build, and transfer to Afghans — are shaky.

The corrupt Karzai government often undercuts progress at provincial and local levels. This makes it hard to build up cleared areas; moreover, Afghan security forces are far from ready to take over. And Obama has pledged to withdraw all combat forces by 2014, starting in 2011.

Yet a deal with the Taliban offers no guarantees of peace. In many conversations with Afghans over the past two years,

in villages and towns in several provinces, I heard the same complaint: The elders wanted neither the Taliban nor the Karzai government. They were fed up with government corruption — which, they said, drove youths into Taliban ranks. But they didn’t want a return of cruel Taliban rule; polls consistently bear this out.

So any exploratory talks — no matter the interlocutor — must concentrate on two core issues.

First, they need to figure out who really speaks for the Taliban, especially Mullah Mohammed Omar’s Quetta Shura. Everyone recalls the supposed Taliban leader who was brought to meet Karzai late last year, with the help of British security agents, and was given large sums of cash. He turned out to be an imposter.

Until the Taliban appoints a political leadership, talks with individuals may not mean much.

And, if those leaders become known, the interlocutor needs to figure out whether they still dream of an emirate based on their harsh version of sharia, either in all of Afghanistan or in Pashtun provinces in the east and south. Or is that leadership, in part or whole, ready to listen to what Afghans want?

If Karzai makes a deal with some Taliban leaders that alienates large swaths of the Afghan people there will be no peace.

There will be a civil war that spills over into nuclear-armed Pakistan next door.

As much as we want to leave — and forget — Afghanistan, talks with the Taliban are no silver bullet. It makes sense to send a facilitator to explore the Taliban mind-set, but talks won’t work unless that mind-set has changed.

We do have to cut the budget and we do need to redo our tax code, and if we are going to survive, we must ask the wealthiest to pay their fair share.

General Electric and several of the oil companies paid nothing and received billions in rebates. Try to imagine how this happened, or perhaps it would be simpler to ask Sam Brownback or Lynn Jenkins to explain it, because they and all our other Republican legislators are

the puppets who make the laws that permit this outrage.

If we allow this to continue, the middle class will be destroyed.

Our wages have not increased for 18 years while the wealthiest incomes have gone up 300 percent. What the greedy group at the top doesn’t seem to realize is that the middle class is the goose that laid the golden egg. The working people spending money to feed their kids and keep a roof over their head is the foundation of our capitalistic system.

Our existing economic woes are a direct result of Republican policies, and yet they continue to say that big business and only big business knows how to run this country, and that big government is the bad guy, the source of all our problems. What we seem to have forgotten is that government is us, government is our vote, our protection from the greed.

A bill to lower the legal dividing line between male juveniles and adults YEARS from 18 to 16 had AGO been struck down IN 1971 by the Kansas House. The bill, which had previously passed the Senate, was defeated 59-53. "The juvenile judges don't want to go with this solution," said one representative. "They wish they had the facilities, but they don't." Another mentioned the common complaint that 16- and 17-year-old juveniles vide 75 percent of its electricity under present law committed with no accidents, injuries or death.

Further, in 1961, 50 years ago this October, the Navy put into service the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS Enterprise. She’ll be retired in the middle of this decade — with no accidents.

In 1975, the USS Nimitz was launched as the first of the “Nimitz class” nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Nimitz and her subsequent nine “sister” ships will require replacement of their power plants about every 20 years, and the ship’s anticipated service lives are estimated at in excess of 40 years. Currently the Navy has logged about 6,000 “reactor years” of accident-free experience.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 5, 1911: YEARS "It was exactly AGO 1:50 last night IN 1911 when the reading clerk in the First ward droned out the last ballot and the final count in the city election had been completed. The county required much longer than anticipated and only a newspaper man, two victorious candidates, and a hobo who had come in to bask in the warmth, remained up to hear the final results. The Republicans elected almost the complete ticket. In former elections Socialists have rarely cast more than half a dozen ballots in each precinct, but yesterday they received 229 votes in the six wards. While none of their candidates became dangerous in any precinct, the vote shows that the cult is rapidly gaining a formidable following. Out of the three women candidates, only Mattie Stewart, who had no opponent, was elected.”

Smoke management plan up for review WICHITA (AP) — The effectiveness of a new plan to manage smoke from the annual spring prairie burning in the Flint Hills is being questioned after smoke from some planned burns drifted over Wichita in late March.

The haze in Wichita on March 24-25 will be discussed when the new smoke management plan is analyzed at the end of April, The Wichita Eagle reported Monday.

“We’ll go back and do a post-mortem analysis of what happened during this burn season once it’s over,” said Josh Tapp of the smoke management division of the Environmental Protection Agency. “We’ll collect all the data and evaluate if the

smoke plan is being effective or needs to be revised or improved.”

Ranchers’ annual burning of the prairie prevents trees and invading plants from growing in the grass, improves productivity of the rangeland and helps cattle who feed on the grass.

The Flint Hills Smoke Management Plan is a pilot project that allows the ranchers to continue their planned burns but with restrictions designed to prevent smoke from drifting and increasing ozone levels in urban areas, particularly Kansas City and Wichita. The cities could face new regulations if ozone levels consistently are above the recommended levels.

“Unfortunately, right off the bat, it didn’t work,” said Mike Holder, a Chase County extension agent who helped coordinate the plan. “We’ve yet to see whether this will work all the time.”

The smoke management plan, approved in December by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and more than 80 interested parties, allows ranchers to continue burning grasslands in the spring but restricts other burning in 12 counties in the Flint Hills and four near Kansas City and Wichita.

The plan tries to encourage people to start burning in March, Tapp said, to prevent having too many fires on any given day.

TOP TIGER Missouri hired Frank Haith — 129-101 overall — away from Miami to replace Mike Anderson as coach of the Tigers. Story on page 2B.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD ● LJWorld.com/sports ● Tuesday, April 5, 2011

CONNECTICUT 53, BUTLER 41

What the Haith?

Normally, a college basketball fan base doesn’t hate its coach and demand his ouster until he has lost his first game, or at the very least officially has been hired.

Not so for an angry mob of Missouri boosters, young and old, ready to run athletic director Mike Alden out of town before he even was given the courtesy of having a team broadcaster tell him his services won’t be needed any longer.

That’s how upset Missouri fans, from Antlers to mega-deep pockets, reportedly were with the revelation that Miami (Fla.) coach Frank Haith had been chosen to replace Mike Anderson, who bolted for Arkansas.

Haith’s Hurricanes drew small crowds and made the tournament once in his seven years at the ACC school. To put this in perspective, Haith’s overall record of 129-101 (.561) and conference mark of 43-69 (.384) made him only slightly more successful than a local coach who has been on the job seven years.

Kansas women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson has gone 117-108 (.520) overall and 35-77 (.313) in the Big 12 and has one fewer NCAA Tourney appearance than Haith.

The Haith hiring and reaction to it reminded me of standing in a Las Vegas casino window line with my oldest of five brothers 25 years or so ago. The guy in front of us turned around, said it made absolutely no sense that a team was favored over another by only three points.

“That line should be at least seven,” he said. “Every time this happens, I fall for it, and the team I bet on goes straight down the toilet. Just watch, this one will go straight down the toilet.”

A few hours later, the unlucky man’s ticket was sent to the sewer.

In baseball, when a pitching matchup looks completely onesided, it’s what’s known as a reverse lock. The pitcher that in no way can lose, loses.

That’s the only thing I can think of to make sense out of Mizzou’s decision. It’s a reverse lock. It can’t possibly work, so maybe that’s why it will. Haith will coach more talent next season in Columbia than he ever did in Miami. He developed Texas recruiting ties as an assistant coach for Texas A&M and Texas. Maybe Alden knew what he was doing.

More likely, Haith was hired because nobody was in a rush to coach Missouri in what is about to become a hornet’s nest of a conference.

Bill Self at Kansas and Rick Barnes at Texas will always reload and contest every year for top-dog status. Billy Gillispie, not affiliated with any schools since getting canned by Kentucky, hasn’t had to follow NCAA rules regarding contact with recruits. He has so many studs lined up already it won’t take him long to turn Texas Tech into a full-fledged national powerhouse. Mark Turgeon’s, Lon Kruger’s and Frank Martin’s teams always play tough defense. Baylor always has highly rated talent.

Why would Shaka Smart put his soaring stock at risk against that schedule and those proven coaches? Why would Matt Painter want anything to do with the Missouri job beyond using it for a raise from Purdue?

Haith had to accept the offer because he was walking the plank at Miami, and he’ll be well-compensated. Still, you have to feel for a guy whose honeymoon ended before he even got to taste the wedding cake.

Kansas football ramps up fitness ——

Offseason conditioning more mental, intense

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

For the last four months, word spread rapidly about the Kansas University football program’s offseason strength and conditioning program being more intense than it was a season ago.

Friday, after the first day of spring drills, second-year KU coach Turner Gill explained why.

“We gave a lot more opportunity to lift, as in four days versus three days,” Gill said. “And we did a lot more running than we did the previous year.”

It’s early still, but so Better far Gill said mental he liked the toughness was result.

“It was one thing we good to see wanted to get our guys come out established in enthusiastic, the running offseason.” around,” he said.

“It shows that — KU coach Turner Gill our strength staff and our players did a good job of staying in shape and coming out here ready to go.”

The change took place within days of the Jayhawks’ seasonending loss to Missouri. That loss, a 35-7 whipping and the second straight setback versus the Tigers, pushed KU’s final record to 3-9. It was not what anyone in the program expected and, because of the embarrassment it brought with it, the 2011 season began immediately.

“After the Mizzou game, that first week was deadly,” red-shirt freshman tight end Jimmay Mundine said. “Just because everybody was messing up, and we had to do the whole workout and extra up-downs. After everybody understood what the coaches wanted, it got a little easier. It wasn’t easy, but it was a little easier.”

While strength coach John Williams and his staff pushed the players to lift more, run longer and work harder, he also designed a program that emphasized sharpening the mind. That was a request from Gill, and he made it because he believes a lot of what players accomplish on the field starts between their ears.

“Better mental toughness was one thing we wanted to get established in the offseason,” Gill said.

“And we’re gonna continue that during the spring, in the summer and during the football season.

We’re trying to get better production; that’s the bottom line.

Obviously, they gotta get stronger, they gotta get faster, they gotta get more athletic. But we wanted to teach them mental toughness.”

How did he go about it?

“You do a whole lot of different activities in tough situations,

CONNECTICUT’S KEMBA WALKER, RIGHT, CELEBRATES with teammate Charles Okwandu after UConn beat Butler, 53-41, on Monday in Houston for the NCAA championship.

Huskies shut down Bulldogs

By Eddie Pells Associated Press National Writer

HOUSTON — The only thing that could stop Kemba Walker and Connecticut’s amazing run was the final buzzer.

On a night when the massive arena felt like a dusty old gym, UConn made Butler look like the underdog it really was, winning the national championship Monday night with an old-fashioned, grinding 53-41 beatdown of the Bulldogs.

Walker finished with 16 points for the Huskies (32-9), who won their 11th straight game since closing the regular season with a 9-9 Big East record that foreshadowed none of this.

They closed it out with a defensive showing for the ages, holding Butler to a 12-for-64 shooting.

That’s 18.8 percent, the worst ever in a title game.

It was one of the ugliest games anyone can remember on the sport’s biggest stage. But definitely the kind of game a veteran coach like Jim Calhoun could love.

At age 68, he became the oldest coach to win the NCAA championship and joined John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight as only the fifth coach to win three NCAA titles.

“It may be the happiest moment of my life,” Calhoun said.

Calhoun coaxed this win out of his team by accepting the reality that the rim looked about as wide

CONNECTICUT COACH JIM CALHOUN LOOKS FOR A HUSKY TO HUG after winning his third NCAA championship. as a pancake on a cold-shooting, defensive-minded night in Houston. He did it by making his players pound the ball inside and insisting on the kind of defense that UConn played during this remarkable run, but which often got overshadowed

by Walker’s theatrics.

UConn trailed 22-19 after a first half that came straight out of the ’40s.

“The halftime speech was rather interesting,” Calhoun said. “The adjustment was, we were going to out-will them and outwork them.”

And so they did.

Connecticut outscored Butler by

an unthinkable 26-2 in the paint.

The Bulldogs (28-10), in their second straight title game and hoping to put the closing chapter on the ultimate “Hoosiers” story, went a mind-numbing 13 minutes, 26 seconds in the second half making only one field goal.

During that time, a 25-19 lead turned into a 41-28 deficit. This for a team that never trailed Duke by more than six during last year’s epic final.

Little brother says KU recruit LeBron-like

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kevin McLemore stood to the side and watched with pride as his big brother, Ben, orally committed to Kansas University over runner-up Missouri at a news conference Sunday at Sears Centre in suburban Chicago.

“He’s the next up-and-coming star of the family,” cousin Richard Boyd said of Kevin, a sophomore guard from St. Louis’ Normandy High. “Hopefully, in two years we’ll be doing this again.”

It’s too early to tell if Kevin McLemore will emerge as a

major-college recruit. One thing’s for sure: He will play college ball if KU-bound Ben has anything to say about it.

“He has helped me a lot. He showed me a couple moves,” Kevin said.

Does Ben remind his little brother of anybody?

“I’d say LeBron James,” Kevin said. “He loves LeBron James.

We’ll be going against each other, and he’ll say he’s LeBron James.”

Of course, there’s no way the soft-spoken Ben McLemore, a 6foot-5 guard out of Houston’s Christian Life Center, would ever hint he is a LeBron in the making.

“I think Ben is one of the most humble, unselfish kids I’ve ever had the pleasure of being around,” said Darius Cobb, McLemore’s AAU coach, formerly of the St. Louis Majestics, now with Missouri Impact.

“You ask me what I expect of him at Kansas his first year.

Whatever Bill (Self, KU coach) wants him to do, he’ll do it. If he needs 30 (points), he’ll give him 30. If he needs 15 assists, he’ll give him that. If he needs 40 minutes Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo of defense, he’ll do that.

Missouri hires Miami’s Haith COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — Frank Haith is returning to the Big 12 as Missouri’s head coach.

Missouri announced Monday night that the former assistant to Rick Barnes at Texas had agreed to leave Miami and take over the Tigers.

The Hurricanes said earlier in the day that Haith had resigned to take the Missouri job, but the Tigers were quiet until university curators met for nearly two hours late in a closed session to approve his hiring.

The 45-year-old Haith spent three years as an assistant at Texas, four years as an assistant at both Texas A&M and Wake Forest, and had stints at Penn State and North Carolina-Wilmington.

He took over Miami in 2004 as his first head-coaching job.

Missouri will introduce Haith

today. He replaces Mike Anderson, who went to Arkansas after five years in Columbia. Under A n d e r s o n , t h e Ti ge r s m a d e three consecutive NCAA Tournaments and fell one win short of the 2009 Final Four. Their 77 wins over the past three seasons is the best three-year-run in school history.

Missouri athletic director Mike Alden cited Haith’s recruiting skills and familiarity “with the footprint of the Big 12” as key elements in his decision. Missouri has three available scholarships for next season and will have six open slots in two years.

Haith will earn $1.5 million annually in a five-year deal, with $100,000 in deferred annual compensation and an automatic one-year contract extension effective May 1, 2012.

COMMENTARY

Young coaches wise to be picky

By David Teel Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

HOUSTON — Shaka Smart could have cashed in at North Carolina State. Chris Mooney could have bolted to Georgia Tech.

Instead, these in-demand basketball coaches agreed to contract extensions with their current schools, Smart at VCU, Mooney the University of Richmond.

Butler’s Brad Stevens — his Horizon League champion Bulldogs played in their second consecutive national title game Monday — appears similarly unimpressed by the big time’s bright lights and dollar signs.

Optimists will see a trend. Cynics will see isolated cases.

As usual, the truth is in between.

Smart, Mooney and Stevens are welleducated, discriminating 30-somethings.

They aren’t about to swoon at the first, or even second, suitor.

Moreover, each is blessed to work for schools where the support transcends salary.

Not to dismiss the considerable pay raises afforded Smart and Mooney, each of whom will earn more than $1 million annually. But operating budgets, facility upgrades and staff compensation also are paramount to success.

VCU, for example, does not fly commercial. The Rams bus to Colonial Athletic Association destinations such as James Madison, Old Dominion and William and Mary, but when traveling by air, they charter.

That’s a significant logistical and competitive advantage. It saves time and missed classes, while showing players and prospects that basketball is a priority.

No, the Rams can’t approach N.C. State’s resources, ACC affiliation and two national championships. But bigger isn’t necessarily better.

Ask Jeff Capel. He left VCU after three seasons for Oklahoma and coached the Sooners and Blake Griffin to the Elite Eight two years ago. Last month, Oklahoma fired him.

The lesson: What’s the rush? Smart is 33, Stevens 34, Mooney 38. Their motivational and coaching chops aren’t going to desert them, and while none is sure to make future Sweet 16s or Final Fours, all are going to win.

Smart’s mindset was evident after VCU’s Final Four loss to Butler, when a reporter asked if this were a “once-in-alifetime run.”

“You don’t know me very well if you ask that,” Smart said. “Of course it’s not a once-in-a-lifetime run. We’re going to try to do this every year. It’s not easy, there’s no question about it. In our program, we’re going to continue to build.

“This is my second year. You know, we’ve got a lot of things that we still want to accomplish. This was a terrific run. Are we capable of doing it again? Sure. No question.

If we’re capable of coming together as a group and playing aggressive, confident, loose basketball, and we have the right guys out there, it’s certainly possible.”

Does that sound like a coach with Mayflower on speed dial?

Not to say VCU, Butler, Richmond and other mid-majors are destination jobs. If so, Brian Gregory wouldn’t have left Dayton for Georgia Tech last week, and Sean Miller wouldn’t have exited Xavier for Arizona two years ago.

But mid-majors don’t have to be stepping-stones, either.

“It’s a great place to coach,” Horizon commissioner Jon LeCrone said of the mid-majors. “It’s not the great five-year experiment anymore, where after five years you either leave for a better job or get fired.”

Alden tried last week to lure Matt Painter, but the Purdue coach instead signed a contract extension. Alden said Monday that Haith was the only person offered the job.

Haith went 129-101 in seven seasons with the Hurricanes, including 21-15 this season, when they played in the NIT. The Hurricanes went 43-69 in the Atlantic Coast Conference under Haith and made the NCAA Tournament once, losing in the second round in 2008.

Haith met with Miami’s players Monday afternoon to tell them about his decision, and Tony Hernandez, the school’s acting athletic director, said the group was “disappointed.” Hernandez, who received word Sunday from Alden that the Tigers were talking to Haith, said he doesn’t have a timetable to find Haith’s replacement.

Haith’s hiring surprised and disappointed many Missouri faithful still reeling from the departure of Anderson, who turned down a contract extension and healthy raise to return instead to Arkansas, where he spent 17 years as a Nolan Richardson assistant.

Alden said that Haith realizes he’ll need to win over a skeptical fan base.

“I told him, ‘This is the ShowMe State,”’ Alden said. “That’s who we are.”

Also on Monday, a pair of junior Missouri starters declared for the NBA Draft in a move the school said was not related to the coaching change. Both Laurence Bowers and Kim English have not hired agents, meaning they can return to school next year if their NBA plans don’t work out.

Chiefs LB Vrabel arrested for theft of casino

NFL Goodell wants HGH tests WOODLAWN, MD. — Commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL will insist that its next labor deal with players includes testing for human growth hormone.

After appearing Monday with U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings at a high school to speak about the dangers of steroid use, Goodell said the NFL needs to do more to keep banned substances out of the sport.

BASKETBALL Shockers’ Marshall plans to stay WICHITA — Gregg Marshall is staying put as the head coach at Wichita State.

Marshall told the Associated Press on Monday that he’s staying at the school because he has a “great situation.” Marshall led the Shockers to the NIT title last week, beating Alabama to finish 29-8, a school record for wins in a season.

The former Winthrop coach had been linked to the vacant job at North Carolina State. He said he didn’t want to address rumors that he had turned down offers from other schools.

“They deserve their respect, and I appreciate any interest that was shown. I just kind of want to leave it at that,” Marshall said in a phone interview. “It’s not important.”

The Shockers rebounded from a disappointing loss in the Missouri Valley tournament and getting snubbed by the NCAA Tournament selection committee tearing through the NIT. They beat Nebraska by 27 points, won at Virginia Tech, beat College of Charleston, then set a school record for wins with a 75-44 romp over Washington State in the semifinals.

“My family is happy, and we’re coming off an NIT championship,” Marshall said. “We get a chance now to exhale and enjoy it.”

VEVAY, IND. — Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Mike Vrabel was arrested Monday and charged with theft from a riverboat casino.

The Switzerland County sheriff’s department said Vrabel, 35, was arrested at 5:30 a.m. and released about 5 hours later on $600 cash bond. He was charged with a class D felony.

“It was an unfortunate misunderstanding, and I take full responsibility for the miscommunication,” Vrabel said in a statement issued through his agent. “I feel comfortable that after talking with the appropriate parties, we will resolve this matter.”

The incident happened at the Belterra Casino in Florence, Ind. A call to the security department of the casino was not immediately returned.

Vrabel, a three-time Super Bowl winner with the New England Patriots, is a member of the NFLPA executive committee and one of the plaintiffs in the players’ antitrust lawsuit against the NFL. A hearing is scheduled Wednesday in Minneapolis in federal court in the lawsuit.

Vrabel was traded from the Patriots to the Chiefs before the 2009 season and was a starter on the team last season that won the AFC West title.

“We are aware of the reports regarding Mike Vrabel, but we are not permitted to have contact with Mike at this time,” the Chiefs said in a statement. “We understand that Mike has communicated publicly that the matter is a misunderstanding for which he takes full responsibility. We hope it is resolved for Mike in a positive way.”

STILLWATER, OKLA. — Oklahoma State basketball player Darrell Williams will stand trial on rape and other felony charges alleging that he inappropriately touched two female students, a judge ruled Monday.

Payne County Special Judge Michael Stano ruled after a preliminary hearing that there was enough evidence for Williams to face one count of sexual battery and four counts of rape by instrumentation. Two women have said the 21-year-old Williams reached into their pants against their will during a December party.

Williams, who has been suspended indefinitely from the basketball team, has pleaded not guilty. He remains free on bond.

The 2009 AL Cy Young winner is expected to miss at least three starts, and manager Ron Roenicke says there’s still no timetable for his return. But Roenicke says Greinke has progressed well, especially in the last week.

Greinke is scheduled to throw off flat ground again today.

just like it is in a game, and then you see how they respond,” Gill said. “Do they respond at a high level? Does their body language change?

When things get tough, when you get tired and you’re not feeling as good or you’re sore, can you mentally push through it and still be productive on the field? You can control this part. You can compete every day. Some people have mental toughness, and they can battle through it.

Some don’t.”

For the most part, Gill said his players exceeded expectations in that department this offseason. The players tend to agree.

“We got a lot of workouts in, and it was definitely hard, and it tested our mental capabilities,” safety Keeston Terry said. “We all made it through it.”

There was a reason for that.

And, again, it had to do with the mental side of the game.

McLemore CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Cobb first started working with McLemore when Ben was in the fifth grade. Now Ben is Rivals.com’s No. 17rated recruit nationally.

“I would say by his eighthgrade, ninth-grade year,” Cobb said of when he knew Ben had major-college potential. “Because everything he did was so smooth and fluent.

In sixth, seventh grade, he was a center. I guess everybody thought he’d be the next Shaq,” Cobb added, noting McLemore stood 6-1 at the time.

“He’s a legit 6-6 now,” Cobb said. “I think he’s still growing.”

Cobb said McLemore is a true gym rat.

“That’s the understatement of the day,” Cobb said. “AAU, high school, neighborhood pickup ... wherever he could play, he’d play.”

On one condition.

“As long as he did his schoolwork and housework,” said his mom, Sonya, who goes by the nickname of “Peaches.”

She acknowledge basketball is Ben’s passion.

“For now it is,” she said.

“Things can change.”

That’s why, in her mind, “getting a degree would be the first priority. It’s all about the education.”

Which brings us to rumors that McLemore will not qualify academically for a scholarship. His first high school, St. Louis’ Wellston High (where he averaged 28.3 points as a junior) was closed down by the state after his junior year.

He moved on to Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., where he was dismissed this winter for violating undisclosed team rules. Now he’s finishing high school at Christian Life Center.

“Ben has never had academic problems,” Cobb said.

“He is like any high school kid who maybe didn’t realize at f irst the importance (of

“They’re really hard on us now,” Mundine said. “They don’t want any mistakes. They don’t want anything like that.

Any time you mess up in the weight room, if you skip a rep, if you don’t do a rep with the best technique, you’re gonna redo it, or you’re gonna do updowns for it. Everybody knows. Everybody knows.

Even when guys don’t mess up, they’re getting (yelled) at about how that ain’t championship technique or posture or anything. No hands on the hips, no hands on the head.

We’re gonna stand up like we’re the best.”

The belief here is that preaching such mind-sets in the offseason will make them habits when the regular season rolls around. From there, the Jayhawks can start talking postseason again.

“We’re trying to get better production,” Gill said. “That’s the bottom line. You hear the old statement that you win or lose football games based on what you do January through April. And there’s some truth to that. There’s no doubt they have all improved, and we are definitely a better football

grades). At the beginning of his junior year, he took his first core courses and did well. I think rumors of him being a nonqualifier might have helped Kansas. Some schools didn’t recruit him.”

Cobb added that he felt Ben would qualify at KU. As far as Ben’s dismissal at Oak Hill, school officials have never commented on the matter.

“That wasn’t a grade problem. I broke a school rule,” Ben told Cedric Williams of earlaustinjr.com, not identifying the rule. “I didn’t know it was against the rules. But I did it. And I learned a lesson from it. And now I’m just concentrating on getting my grades good so for next year.”

Christian Life Center coach Carlos Wilson said he has been impressed in the short time he’s known McLemore, who averaged 16 points and seven rebounds in six games.

“He just got in, and you would have never been able to tell that this kid was a top-20 kid or a kid that was a highmajor-caliber kid, because his demeanor didn’t portray that,” Wilson told Rivals.com.

“He got in and worked like he was one of the guys. That’s why the guys opened up to him so quickly.”

McLemore showed the ability to score inside and out at the NeXt All-America game. He swished five threes in the all-star game’s scrimmage Saturday and slammed a vicious dunk after driving the middle of the lane in overtime of Sunday’s victory.

“I’ve been watching him stroke the ball, and I think he’s just as good a shooter as he is an athlete,” Wilson said. ●

Coach Cobb helps: The McLemore family has praised Cobb for his assistance during the recruiting process.

“Whenever I got headaches, I’d pass it to him, and he’d take it,” Ben’s mom, Sonya, said of Cobb.

He was happy to lend a hand. “Ben experienced a lot of pressure being a hometown kid. Mizzou had an up-andcoming program and had great coaching there with

team. Now we gotta carry it over with a football in our hands.”

Mike (Anderson) and Melvin (Watkins). The staff (now at Arkansas) was very accommodating to Ben and his family. At the same time, he had a lot of people looking at the excitement that Kansas is creating, the national championship, the ability for him to come in and be a premier player.” ●

●

McLemore’s nicknames?: B-Mac and Flight School, according to his three sisters. ●

Twitter travels: KU freshman Josh Selby’s Twitter account has several posts revealing he’s in his hometown of Baltimore this week. Selby has yet to announce whether he’ll return to KU for a soph season or enter the NBA Draft. ... Marcus Morris, who was in Los Angeles with his brother, Markieff, last week, and then in Houston over the weekend for an NABC All-America ceremony, tweeted that he’s back in Lawrence. “Back to school, finally. Miss my teammates.

Pirates 4, Cardinals 3 ST. LOUIS — Charlie Morton won his first road game since the end of 2009 in a 47-degree chill, and Pittsburgh stunned St. Louis starter Kyle Lohse with a four-run sixth inning.

In a span of four pitches, Lohse (0-1) issued his first walk all year, then allowed Neil Walker’s two-run double and Andrew McCutchen’s second homer to put Pittsburgh ahead 4-1.

Joel Hanrahan got four outs to preserve a one-run lead for his third save in three chances for the Pirates, who are 3-1 on the road to start the year after going a major league-worst 1764 away from home last season.

Albert Pujols was 0-for-3 with a walk and is 2-for-16 with a homer and one RBI thus far.

Mothers-to-be on Bravo’s new show anything but mellow Bravo continues its successful tradition of making new shows that have that patented “hate on sight” quality that turns them into instant water-cooler conversation. If you think “Pregnant in Heels” (9 p.m., Bravo) sounds as if it’s about a mother-to-be with a shoe obsession, you would only be half wrong. It’s about a fabulously successful woman who caters to mothersto-be with shoe obsessions — among other personal afflictions.

“Heels” stars Rosie Pope, a self-styled “maternity concierge,” a phrase as pretentious as it is ridiculous. Like many of the breathless experts on Bravo, she’s from London by way of Mars. It’s her job to come up with new interior designs so that self-absorbed and at times overtly hostile women with too much time and money can fit their new infant accessory into their wretchedly spoiled existences. This is basically “Real Pregnant Housewives of New York,” where a “price is no object” attitude meets raging hormones.

Rosie’s first clients are two super-busy parents who design websites. She confesses that she has always seen her baby-to-be as a “parasitic life-sucking force.” He boldly announces that they live in “a neighborhood called Tribeca,” as if this were his own personal discovery that he’s deigning to share with us. Like I said, it’s “hate on sight.”

If I’m not careful, Bravo might trademark that phrase for their marketing department. ● If watching rich people acting like monsters is not your cup of tea, you can enjoy watching poor people being exploited. “Auction Hunters” (9 p.m., Spike) enters its second season following Allen Haff and Clinton “Ton” Jones as they scour the country looking for buried treasures by blind bidding on the contents of “abandoned” storage lockers.

While “Auction” celebrates this peculiar form of bottom feeding, real people know that these storage units have been “abandoned” by recently unemployed people who can no long afford to pay the rent on the places where they have stored their possessions. The notion of turning this form of opportunism and parasitism into “entertainment” is not unique to Spike.

Tonight’s other highlights ● The 1990 Ken Burns documentary “The Civil War” (7 p.m., PBS) continues. ● Finn has a religious experience over lunch on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox). ● J.J. must be rescued on the season finale of “No Ordinary Family” (7 p.m., ABC). ● Murder in posh precincts on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Love comes in many disguises on “Raising Hope” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Brent finds a winning recipe for goat’s milk on “Fabulous Beekman Boys” (8 p.m., Planet Green). ● A tiff over money on “Traffic Light” (8:30 p.m., Fox). ● Michael J. Fox returns as Louis Canning on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Adam frets on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A victim seems too close for comfort on “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC). ● Lights takes on Reynolds for the title on “Lights Out” (9 p.m., FX).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, April 5: This year, you make a difference. At times, you might feel challenged.

Though you don't know which way to go, clearly your chosen direction does make a difference to others. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Deal directly with someone at a distance. You could be overwhelmed by everything that you hear. Tonight: Think "vacation."

Dear Annie: Through circumstances beyond our control, my husband and I recently found ourselves homeless for about a month, and we slept in our car. We had two dogs. A friend took one, but no one wanted “Rex.” Temporary boarding was not economically feasible. Keeping him in the car proved impossible. All the animal rescues and humane societies in our area were full, and they turned us down. Someone reported the situation to the authorities, and we had no choice but to take Rex to the animal shelter.

Three days later, my family members, who didn’t offer us so much as floor space during this time, heard about Rex. They never once considered taking him. When my brother and his wife found out we put Rex in the pound, they sent a newsletter to all the relatives discussing our “abuse” of the dog. They said I was hated, immoral and inhumane and should be ousted from the family.

Most family members thought the newsletter was uncompassionate. But my brother stands by his opinion, and I’ve received nasty phone messages from him on my voicemail. My elderly parents saw the letter, and my brother received a tearful call from them. This made him even

Simple, direct, not accusatory and absolutely fair. Calhoun drew a quick breath and held it, debating internally how to respond. Sensing danger if he said too much, he chose restraint: “I’ve said before that I took full responsibility as the head coach for anything that happened within our program. I said my own personal and private thoughts would be kept personal and private.”

The subject of the NCAA sanctions the Huskies received earlier this year has been the monkey on Calhoun’s back throughout an otherwise magical and satisfying run to the pinnacle of the sport that the aging coach has shared with Kemba Walker and the rest of UConn’s kids. The 53-41 win over Butler on Monday night should be the capstone of Calhoun’s career, but he can’t shake that pesky monkey and all the unpleasant squawking about recruiting violations that occurred near the end of his remarkable career.

The past few weeks clearly have brought Calhoun much happiness, including sharing the ultimate stage with 34year-old Butler coach Brad Stevens. The old lion admires Stevens personally and professionally, including the squeaky-clean image he projects.

“I want him occasionally to at least cuss or just do something out of line,” Calhoun joked when asked what he sees of himself in Stevens.
