Ex-KU official: Ticket thefts didn’t hurt university

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press Writer

WICHITA — A key official at Kansas University during a $2 million ticket scalping conspiracy claimed in a court document filed Friday that the school did not actually lose any money “in spite of the pilferage” because those tickets would not

Charlette Blubaugh, the former associate athletic director in charge of the ticket office, made the claims in a court document seeking no more than a 57-month prison term — at the low end of the advisory sentencing guideline — when she is sentenced on Thursday.

Her defense attorney, John Rapp,

wrote that there is no question that his client stole tickets from Kansas Athletics Inc., the nonprofit which promotes Kansas athletics, but he argued that often those were socalled hold tickets used to correct last-minute seating problems that would not have been sold.

MARGARET SHIRK, FORMERLY MARGARET LEWIS, was surprised by her family during a lunch at Teller's Friday when they gave her a framed copy of her Kansas University diploma. She left KU in 1939 after studying for a degree in economics, but she never took steps to actually get her degree certified.

93-year-old alumna finally sees the fruit of her academic labor

Margaret Shirk knew she was in for a nice lunch at Teller’s on Friday with family, but she didn’t know the reason.

More than seven decades ago, she walked down the hill at Kansas University’s commencement ceremony. But for some reason she never went through the motions to actually apply for graduation and get her degree certified.

On Friday, the 93-year-old Lawrence resident got the degree, if a few years late.

“What could I have done with a diploma?” she asked Friday, saying she already had a good job — she went on to have a long career as a stockbroker and has been an investor since she was 13 — and was busy taking

Bailey DeReus, graduation adviser for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, was the one who verified that she met the requirements for her Bachelor of Arts degree in economics.

DeReus had to dust off the course catalog from 1932-36 to ensure that Shirk met all the requirements. Her paper transcripts were still around. But some work needed to be done to convert her courses that could be loaded into KU’s online system.

“It was really exciting to figure out,” DeReus said, adding that because she met all the requirements, “I think she should definitely have that degree.”

Tuition has gone up a bit; it was $2 per credit hour for a Kansas resident back then, DeReus said. It’s $262.50 per Please see DEGREE, page 2A

Likely next mayor combines business sense, idealism Cromwell: ‘We’re going to have to have good growth and business decisions, but we’re also going to have to pay attention to the human side of things’

care of her kids and keeping stats for her husband’s basketball team.

This process toward actually securing a diploma began when she mentioned something about maybe seeing what she needed to do to complete her degree, and Jim Yonally, a former state representative and Shirk’s son-in-law, overheard and called up to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and asked what she needed for a degree.

Shirk thought she still needed to take a class or two. Maybe they would let her take a correspondence class, she thought.

And she already acted like an alumna, having volunteered for decades for the KU athletics department, the alumni association and the endowment association.

But, as it turned out, Shirk had already done all the hard parts.

O L A T H E — A high-powered struggle between Gov. Sam Brownback and the Kansas Bioscience Authority exploded into public view on Friday.

Brownback demanded that the KBA, which has been hit by allegations from a state senator and is apparently under investigation by the Johnson County District Attorney’s office, submit to a forensic audit of the Brownback organization’s finances.

Brownback, a Republican, also wanted to have his team “observe” all actions, activities and records at the Carlin economic development agency. He set a 3 p.m. deadline for an answer.

In a hastily called meeting, the KBA board of directors, led by former Gov. John Carlin, a Democrat, agreed to the audit.

Then Carlin sent an email to Brownback and said that any observers from Brownback’s administration would have to agree to maintain the integrity of confidential business records regarding companies that receive grants from the KBA. The authority is charged with investing $581 million in tax dollars to develop the bioscience industry in Kansas.

Lawrence City Commissioner Aron Cromwell thinks he’s a little bit like what Lawrence needs to be in the future: part businessman, part idealist.

“I speak both languages,” Cromwell said.

Cromwell — an owner of a Lawrence-based business that installs solar panels and does other environmental consulting — is expected to be selected by his fellow

commissioners on Tuesday to serve as the city’s next mayor.

“For the future of Lawrence Cromwell to be strong, I think we’re going to have to have a little bit of both,” Cromwell, 39, said of business sense and idealism.

“We’re going to have to have good growth and business decisions, but we’re also going to have to pay atten-

tion to the human side of things. The human services, the environmental issues, the social issues are what make Lawrence Lawrence.

“I feel like I bring some of that. I have a foot in both worlds.”

Voters may already be familiar with some of Cromwell’s social ideas. He was the loudest voice on the City Commission urging voters to approve an $18 million expansion of the Lawrence Public Library.

And now, he’s taken the lead on developing a task force that hopes to remake the

city’s trash service in a way that will promote more recycling in the city.

But what about his business sense? About 12 years ago, Cromwell started installing solar panels as a hobby because he was convinced it was the right thing to do. He did other environmental consulting work — primarily indoor air-quality assessments — to pay the bills and support his hobby.

Today, solar panel installation is the biggest revenue driver for his company, Please see CROMWELL, page 2A

City Commission Lawrence city commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts.

In addition to selecting a mayor, commissioners will choose a vice mayor. If tradition holds, Bob Schumm — the top vote-winner in Tuesday’s election — will be selected as vice mayor. That would put him in line to be mayor in April 2012.

Dorothy Jean Feist December 21, 1915 - April 5, 2011 LONGMONT, COLO. — Dorothy Jean Feist, 95, of Longmont, died April 5, 2011, at Shawnee Gardens Assisted Living in Boulder. She was born on December 21, 1915, in Dwight, Kansas, the daughter of Harry and Eva Paulson. Dorothy married Raymond Feist on March 20, 1937, in Dwight. They moved to Longmont in 1978 from Kansas.

Dorothy was a homemaker and led a quiet life.

She was a member of the Rocky Mountain Christian Church. Dorothy and Ray enjoyed camping and RVing with their grandchildren. She took pride in her home, gardens and flowers. In their younger days, Dorothy and Ray enjoyed dancing at the Meadows Lodge on weekends with their friends.

DeReus guessed that Shirk just didn’t go through the application process for a degree, though it’s hard to say what that might have entailed in 1939. Shirk, for her part, didn’t remember the exact nature of the glitch either.

“I really don’t deserve it because I didn’t have the sense to go get it,” she said.

Her family and the university disagreed.

Whatever the glitch was, it’s fixed now, and KU added Shirk’s name (Margaret Lewis, actually, her maiden name) to its list of graduates from 1939.

She had a good time back

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband Raymond in 2007; her son, Stanley in 1994; her parents; her brother, Ivan and her sister, Venita.

She is survived by two grandchildren, Shaye (Kirk) and Heidi (David); her daughter-in-law, Mady; a great-grandchild, Keira; a sister, Virgie Pfantz of Baldwin City, KS, and many nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 9, 2011 at Ahlberg Funeral Chapel. Interment at Foothills Gardens of Memory. Memorial contributions may be made to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and mailed to Ahlberg Funeral Chapel. Share condolences at www.ahlbergfuneralchapel.com.

then, she said. She wasn’t in a sorority, she said, but she went to all the dances. James Naismith performed a wedding ceremony for her aunt — Shirk was the flower girl.

She had season basketball tickets — and still goes to all the home games.

Shirk won’t be walking down the hill again — she could physically do it, she’s quick to point out, but there’s no need. She already did it once.

On Friday, she read cards of congratulations from friends and relatives.

Yonally mentioned his son had a hard time finding a good card.

“They were all out of ‘Happy Graduation, Grandma’ cards,” he said.

That brought a sharply worded news release from Brownback.

“Now they say observers may only see what the KBA wants them to see, and auditors can only look at what the KBA wants them to look at.

That is not effective oversight,” Brownback said.

“This does nothing to satisfy the public’s or the administration’s legitimate concerns,” he said.

Carlin responded that he didn’t want to get into a backand-forth with Brownback.

“We are not trying to delay anything. We will demonstrate that we are serious and it (the forensic audit) will be done right,” he said.

Sen. Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, who is chairwoman of the Senate Commerce Committee, has held several hearings,

a challenge to a law outlawing “gray machines” and accompanying statutes that allow the Kansas Lottery to confiscate them and make it a felony for a person to put such machines where they can be used by the public.

The first law defines a gray machine as a “mechanical, electro-mechanical or electronic device” that can be used for gambling, if it is not authorized by the lottery or linked to the lottery’s central computer, or if it can simulate a game played on a legal gambling machine. Justice Eric Rosen said any computer — even the one he used to write the court’s opinion — would qualify.

“

during which she has criticized the KBA’s President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Thornton.

Recently, she accused him of having conflicts of interest by serving on an Illinois economic development panel and chairing an Illinois political action committee. But Thornton has said Wagle has her facts wrong — he stopped serving in those capacities more than 10 years ago, years before he came to the KBA in 2006.

The Johnson County District Attorney’s office has issued several subpoenas to employees at the KBA, but investigators have refused to comment on what they are looking into. Both Carlin and Thornton have said they don’t know what the investigation is about.

Several Senate leaders, Republican and Democratic, have said Wagle’s inquiry has gone out of bounds.

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka has said that Brownback is trying to take control of the KBA. Brownback has denied the allegation. In a letter dated Thursday, he said his administration has been working with the KBA for more than a month, asking that a forensic audit be done. The KBA had maintained that it is regularly audited and been given a clean record.

“The priority points ticket system Ms. Blubaugh helped establish at KAI worked in spite of this conspiracy,” according to the defense filing. “Revenue increased in spite of the pilferage.”

Blubaugh contended that shortly after being hired, she realized many of the tickets in the donor discretionary account were being misused by ticket office employees.

“When Ms. Blubaugh raised concerns, she was told to keep quiet and to keep these individuals happy by giving them the tickets they demanded,” according to the court filing. “In 2006, after keeping this secret and noting that no concern was being raised by outside auditors, she too decided to illegally take tickets and sell them for personal gain.”

It was former assistant athletics director Rodney Jones who started the pilferage of the tickets, according to the court filing.

Supreme Court strikes part of gambling law TOPEKA — A Kansas law aimed at keeping gambling machines out of bars and other businesses is unconstitutional because it’s broad enough to apply to any computer and even games such as “Twister” and “Chutes and Ladders,” the state Supreme Court ruled Friday.

The law struck down by the justices is part of a 2007 act that also allowed state-owned casinos and slot machines at dog- and horse-racing tracks.

The casino and slots provisions aren’t affected by the court’s unanimous ruling, but the decision creates a possible opening for legislators who’d like to revise them.

Library and trash Free beer for voters won’t be one of Cromwell’s issues during his one-year term as mayor. Instead, he said he anticipates he’ll spend a lot of time with the two issues voters already know him for: the library and trash services.

On the library, Cromwell said that just because voters already have approved the expansion doesn’t mean the hard work is done. Cromwell serves on the design committee for the library, and he said

ant for the ticket office and a co-conspirator in the scheme, finishes his own prison term in order to allow one of them to care for their young children.

Prosecutors have asked a federal judge to sentence Thomas Blubaugh to 46 months in prison for his role in the ticket scalping scheme.

The government argued Thursday that Thomas Blubaugh used his consultancy to cover up the illegal ticket sales. Prosecutors contend in a filing that other than two co-conspirators, no one in the athletics department knew that Blubaugh was a consultant at the ticket office. The university paid him $115,000.

Blubaugh is to be sentenced Monday and has asked for a maximum term of 21 months.

The couple have two children, ages 5 and 6. She also has two other children, 11year-old twins, from a previous marriage who live with her ex-husband.

Charlette Blubaugh pleaded guilty in January to a single count of conspiracy to defraud the United States through wire fraud, tax obstruction and interstate transportation of stolen property.

Seven people have been snared in the investigation into the unlawful sale of foot-

ball and basketball season tickets by key athletics department officials to ticket brokers and others in which the employees pocketed the money. All pleaded guilty.

Last month, Brown gave probation to two university off icials who cooperated early with an internal investigation and with federal prosecutors. Brandon Simmons, the school’s former athletic director of sales and marketing, and Jason Jeffries, the former assistant director of ticket operations, were charged with failing to tell authorities about the scheme.

“Both of these men were part of the criminal enterprise described in the Indictment,” Blubaugh’s attorney argued. “They simply won the race to the courthouse and, as such, were able to negotiate a plea to a lesser crime.”

The Blubaughs and three others were charged with conspiracy, a more serious crime carrying stiffer potential sentences.

Kassie Liebsch, the former systems analyst at the ticket office, was sentenced to 37 months in prison. Jones received a 46-month prison sentence.

Former associate athletic director of development Ben Kirtland is set for sentencing in May.

he anticipates significant changes in the design to accommodate some concerns brought up by the public. He said the library needs to have better access from the west, needs to have a parking garage that fits in well with the area, and the entire project must have aesthetic appeal that will make it a significant Lawrence landmark.

“I have a huge responsibility at this point to turn the voters’ confidence into a project that everyone will be proud of for decades,” Cromwell said.

On the trash issue, Cromwell already is serving as chairman of the city’s new Solid Waste Task Force. He said he’s trying to reassure anxious Lawrence residents that the city’s trash service will continue to be high quality in the future.

“The level of service we are getting from that service today is outstanding,” Cromwell said. “We for sure don’t want to screw that up.”

But Cromwell said he does expect the trash service to signif icantly change as a result of the task force’s work.

“Several years ago the city collected trash twice a week, and when it was changed to one day a week people thought it was the end of days,” Cromwell said. “But, as it turned out, life went on. I think we’ll find that we will adjust and get used to whatever we do.

“Hopefully, we’ll have a more modern service with fewer injuries on the job,

more recycling and less trash in the landfill.”

Other concerns On other issues, Cromwell said: ● He wants the city to get the former Farmland Industries property “shovel ready” for new industrial development. He said he expects the city to begin marketing the property within the next year.

The site, he said, would be excellent for bioscience companies, but he wants the city to be open to a range of industrial projects at the location. ● He anticipates another tight budget year as sales tax collections in the city have continued to stagnate or decline. But he said, “I’m really, really against raising our mill levy.” ● He already has been part of “near-weekly” meetings on possible sites for the Lawrence Community Shelter. He said that helping the shelter find a site to allow it to move from its downtown location must be a high priority. He said the community is becoming increasingly concerned about the shelter’s current location at 10th and Kentucky streets.

“I believe that we need a shelter in town,” Cromwell said. “I also feel pretty confident that I don’t want the city to run that shelter. That means we need to help shelter leaders in whatever way we can.”

‘Rural tourism’ rezoning requested of county

Power restored following aftershock Electrical power was slowly being restored in tsunami-ravaged northern Japan today after a strong aftershock, though more than a quarter-million homes remained in the dark.

A new wave of anxiety took hold as shoppers emptied store shelves and waited in long lines for gasoline after the magnitude-7.1 aftershock late Thursday.

It was another setback for those struggling to recover from the massive earthquake-spawned tsunami that wiped out hundreds of miles of the northeastern coast last month and killed as many as 25,000 people.

“I feel helpless. I am back to square one,” said Ryoichi Kubo, 52, who was forced to shut down his gas station in hard-hit Iwate prefecture (state) when the aftershock knocked out power. He had just finally reopened after the power outage and prolonged fuel shortage that followed the March 11 tsunami.

Three people died in Thursday’s aftershock, the worst since the day of the massive magnitude-9.0 quake.

Students killed by gunman buried

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Department has received another application to rezone rural Douglas County property to allow “rural tourism” uses.

Officials with Treanor Architects have filed a request to rezone 208 acres surrounding a watershed lake just off U.S. Highway 59 south of Lawrence. Plans call for cabins around the lake, a couple of vineyards, horse stables and riding area, and a lodge/ conference center. The plans indicated the development at 778 E. 1300 Road would be built in multiple phases, and probably would begin with just a couple of cabins. The rest of the work would come in future phases.

In addition to Lawrence-based Treanor, the documents also indicate that members of Doug Compton’s First Management

Budget showdown didn’t have to happen

ment shutdown. If there is a shutdown, who is to blame?

Democrats could have controlled this debate a year ago when they had majorities in both congressional chambers.

Political pundits question how a possible shutdown will affect the 2012 elections and Obama’s chances of re-election.

Today, the government is broke. Our debt and the interest on this debt is rising by the millions and billions of dollars every day and every week. And yet, those in Congress seem incapable of taking action and making even relatively small cuts.

After the 2011 budget, next comes the question of whether or not to raise the national debt limit and then hammer out a 2012 budget.

It would be refreshing if Obama, as well as all members of Congress, would make the welfare and fiscal health of this nation their No. 1 priority rather than playing political games with the 2012 elections taking priority.

It’s a sad situation, and the public should demand, and expect, something better.

KANSAS BUDGET

Brownback’s cuts to take effect

By John Hanna

“

The Legislature is inclined to give a new governor a certain amount of TOPEKA — Kansas will abol- leeway in terms of structuring his ish its Parole Board and make other changes in state gov- administration.”

Associated Press Writer

ernment designed to trim spending because the Legislature has allowed six executive reorganization orders from Gov. Sam Brownback to stand.

Legislators have until today to block the last of Brownback’s reorganization orders, but they’re taking their annual spring break and don’t reconvene until April 27. The governor’s plans take effect July 1, and his administration expects them to reduce spending by $4.7 million annually.

The Parole Board’s job of deciding which inmates can be released early from prison will be transferred to a Department of Corrections panel. An independent health policy agency will become part of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and the Department of Agriculture will absorb two small agencies.

The savings represent a tiny fraction of the state’s $14 billion annual budget, but Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag said they’re significant steps toward “getting our financial house in order.”

“It’s a great first step in restructuring our government,” she said.

Some legislators want to keep the Parole Board, and the Senate came close to rejecting Brownback’s plan for abolishing it. And after arts advocates rallied, senators rejected an order from Brownback to eliminate the Kansas Arts Commission as a

government agency and replace it with a private, nonprofit foundation.

But other changes proposed by the GOP governor didn’t inspire strong opposition, even his plan to end the Kansas Health Policy Authority’s independent status and put it under KDHE. Republicans hold majorities of 32-8 in the Senate and 9233 in the House.

“The Legislature is inclined to give a new governor a certain amount of leeway in terms of structuring his administration,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat.

The Kansas Constitution allows the governor to issue orders reorganizing executive branch agencies during the first 30 days of each legislative session, and legislators have an additional 60 days to consider them. Rejection by one chamber kills a reorganization order.

One Brownback order will move the state’s Animal Health Department and Conservation Commission into the Department of Agriculture, along with the Department of Commerce’s agriculture marketing program.

Other orders will transfer the Department of Commerce’s tourism division to the Department of Wildlife and Parks and the state Commission on Disability Con-

cerns, from the Department of Commerce to the governor’s office. Also, Kansas Inc., an independent economic development research agency, will be abolished and its duties assumed by the Department of Administration.

The Arts Commission order, designed to save $575,000 annually, was the least popular Brownback proposal. But the governor already has formed the nonprofit foundation, and legislators expect him to veto any state funds for the Arts Commission — accomplishing his goal, despite senators’ action.

The Senate voted 20-19 to reject Brownback’s order on the Parole Board, but opponents of the plan needed 21 votes in the 40-member chamber.

Critics contend the Department of Corrections has an inherent conflict of interest in deciding who gets paroled.

They worry the department will have an incentive to release inmates when prisons get close to capacity, as they are now.

“I still think there is a need for an independent body making those decisions,” Davis said.

But other legislators are skeptical that at-capacity prisons will result in a raft of

paroles. House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican who supports the change, notes that the corrections secretary already has some authority to release inmates early when faced with crowding.

O’Neal also contends that a department panel is more likely to consider whether an inmate who’s up for parole has served as much or more time as other ex-inmates who’ve committed the same crime.

The change for the Health Policy Authority is significant because a GOP-controlled Legislature created the agency in 2005 to administer Medicaid and other health programs and to make policy recommendations to lawmakers.

Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius pushed to have the agency within the executive branch, but many Republican insisted on setting up an agency governed by an independent board.

Some Republicans now acknowledge the setup didn’t work as they intended. Conservatives repeatedly chafed when the authority proposed plans to increase state spending on health services.

“The Health Policy Authority began mission creep almost immediately,” O’Neal said. “It really got to the point where it was quite aggravating.”

That project got put on the back burner for awhile because Fritzel switched gears and sold part of the property to Berry Plastics to build its massive warehouse after other sites near the interchange got tied up in litigation.

A Douglas County judge Friday sentenced a Baldwin City man to serve 14 days in jail and 18 months on probation for striking a bicyclist with his pickup truck last July south of Lawrence.

“The sharing of the road is more than just a slogan here,” District Judge Michael Malone said. “It’s something that everybody needs to live and learn by.”

Malone also ordered Scott A. Young, 48, to complete anger management counseling and write a letter of apology to Rob Wilshusen, who suffered injuries to his shoulder, back and hip as a result of the July 15, 2010, collision on East 1400 Road — an extension of Louisiana Street south of Broken Arrow Park.

Malone said that due to Young's minimal criminal history he qualified for probation in the case under state sentencing guidelines. If he's found to violate his probation term, he could be sentenced to serve eight months in prison.

A jury in March convicted Young of reckless aggravated battery. Prosecutors had presented evidence that Young was angry about a group of cyclists being on the road.

Several cyclists testif ied Young came upon the group, yelled obscenities at them and then struck Wilshusen as he veered closer to the right shoulder.

The defense had said Young regretted yelling at the cyclists as he passed them but that he wasn’t aware he had struck anyone because he was approaching a hill and trying to veer back into the right lane of traffic.

Defense attorney Rick Frydman said Young has been participating in anger-management counseling because his temper got the best of him that day.

McCabria asked Malone to order Young to enroll in a driving school and for him to serve some time in jail.

Malone did not order Young to attend driving school because he said his anger was the root cause of the incident. But the judge did say Young was fortunate Wilshusen did not suffer more serious injuries and that he wanted to send a message to drivers with the jail time in the case.

“When vehicles and bicyclists collide, it’s not a fair fight,” Malone said. “So drivers must use great caution when they’re on the road.”

Young will be allowed to be released from jail for work during his two-week sentence that begins April 16. He also must pay court costs in the case, and the parties are still negotiating restitution, mostly through Young’s insurance.

“It’s an issue of controlling his anger, which I believe my client has a hold of that and will continue to work on that,” Frydman said.

Young apologized to Wilshusen, who did not attend the sentencing.

Young also said he wanted to COURTS help educate others about building respect for one another on the road.

“Unfortunately the press uses these events to sell newspapers, and they don’t relay a vital message that really comes from this,” Young said.

“And that is we’re all on this earth today, and without respect and compassion for other people, we all suffer.

“My message to everyone is what I’ve learned from this experience. Don’t let anger take control of your actions.”

No shutdown: Lawmakers strike last-minute deal

By David Lightman and William Douglas McClatchy Newspapers

W A S H I N G T O N — Congress and the White House late Friday barely beat the clock and averted a partial government shutdown, agreeing to a lastminute deal to cut at least $38.5 billion from federal spending.

Congress will not vote on the deal, which would fund the government for the last six months of the fiscal year, until next week.

While no details were available — many will be worked out over the next few days — Democrats got the GOP to abandon efforts to cut funding for Planned Parenthood. And Republicans were able to get Democrats to agree to a budget cut close to what the GOP sought.

Convening shortly after the midnight deadline had passed, the House of Representatives voted 348 to 70 for a stopgap spending plan to keep the government running through Thursday. It earlier passed the Senate on a voice vote. President Barack Obama was expected to sign it early today.

Obama, who had pressed lawmakers for the last three days to reach a deal, earlier announced the agreement at the White House.

Boehner

Reid

“Tomorrow, I’m pleased to announce that the Washington Monument, as well as the entire federal government, will be open for business,” Obama said, pointing to the nearby landmark, which would have been closed to visitors had the government shut down. “And that’s because today Americans of different beliefs came together again.”

At the Capitol, House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., issued a joint statement.

“We have agreed to an historic amount of cuts for the remainder of this fiscal year, as well as a short-term bridge that will give us time to avoid a shutdown while we get that agreement through both houses and to the president,” they said.

GOP members of the House of Representatives were briefed on the deal late Friday, and there was virtually no dissension.

“It sounds like it’s all it can

be,” said Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga. Without an agreement, much of the government would have begun shutting down at 12:01 a.m. today. The Office of Management and Budget issued a statement just before midnight instructing federal agencies “to continue their normal operations.”

The agreement was a calm, collegial end to a day that was a frenzy of behind-the-scenes offers and counter-offers.

Obama talked to Reid and Boehner during the day, but the two sides were stuck for hours on precisely how to cut spending and whether to cut federal funds for Planned Parenthood.

The women’s health organization, the nation’s largest abortion provider, became a prime Republican target. The GOP-majority House of Representatives in February attached several social policy changes, including cutting off money to effect climate change policy and implement the 2010 health care law.

Those changes were dropped, but the Planned Parenthood provision remained, and became the focal point of congressional debate all day — until it too was dropped Friday night. In return, Republicans got more spending cuts.

They also got assurances that there will be separate votes on the most controver-

Hispanic growth key to suburban Chicago changes

By Sophia Tareen Associated Press Writer

AURORA, ILL. — When Fernando Molina left central Mexico to move to Illinois, he was searching for affordable housing, job opportunities and established Hispanic neighborhoods with grocery stores, bakeries and clothing shops.

He didn’t head for Chicago, a well-known magnet for Mexicans pondering the journey north. Instead, he settled in Aurora, about 40 miles to the west.

“It’s like Mexico inside the United States,” said Molina, 37, a social worker who has lived in the U.S. for more than a decade and now assists other immigrant families.

“You can find everything in the stores.”

Over the last decade, tens of thousands of others have followed his path to Aurora — more than 35,000 of about 55,000 new residents between 2000 and 2010 were Hispanic. The city, which is now 40 percent Hispanic, has surpassed Rockford to become Illinois’ secondlargest city.

The trend of immigrants heading directly to American suburbs instead of starting in a major city intensified from 2000 to 2010 — and was one factor in Illinois’ 32.5 percent increase in Hispanic population in that period, according to recently released U.S. Census data.

Demographers say they aren’t just seeing it around Chicago. The same thing is happening around other major cities that have long been entry points for immigrants, such as New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Even as the steep growth of the Hispanic population in Chicago tapered off, the arrival of Hispanics helped make Kendall County west of Aurora the fastest growing

county in the U.S. for several years during the decade.

For many Hispanics in northern Illinois, Aurora supplanted Chicago as a cultural hub, and the growth has transformed smaller and smaller towns.

Montgomery, a few miles south of Aurora, tripled in population to more than 18,000 since 2000. Nearly 4,000 of the new residents were Hispanic, when only 700 lived there in 2000.

Among them are Molina, his wife and their two young children, who decided to move to Montgomery last year for more space, smaller schools and better housing options.

“Now immigrants are living in a lot of places where there were no immigrants 20 or 30 years ago,” said Audrey Singer, a senior fellow with the Washington-based Brookings Institution.

Singer said the foreign-born population in the suburban U.S. has surged over the past decade and then has branched out to areas even further from urban centers. She said she envisions the trend continuing through this decade.

The surge in Illinois’ Hispanic population, from 1.53 million in 2000 to 2.03 million last year, helped sustain the state’s 3.3 percent population growth, U.S. Census data show.

Most of that was in the counties surrounding Chicago’s Cook County. The Hispanic population grew 65 percent in Kane County to the west, more than doubled in Will County to the southwest and more than quadrupled in Kendall, which includes parts of Aurora.

Over the same decade, Chicago and Cook County lost population, and Chicago added only 25,000 more Hispanic residents.

That has led to significant political, economic and cul-

tural changes for the suburbs.

It will mean more attention when it comes to the once-adecade process of drawing boundaries for legislative and congressional districts. Overall, Illinois is slated to lose a congressional seat, but federal and state laws designed to protect minorities’ voting rights mean areas with minority growth have to be considered when the lines are drawn.

Some of the towns say the growth has helped them weather the economic downturn, but presented other challenges.

Area school districts have had to struggle with overcrowding. East Aurora Schools, with about 13,500 students, gained more than 2, 100 students over the decade. The average class size for first grade went from around 21 students in 2002 to 26 students in 2010, according to state education officials.

In Montgomery, officials say the population influx means a lower tax rate, a lower cost for services per resident and more federal funding. The schools have programs like the thriving dual-language immersion program in the Oswego Community Unit School District, which includes parts of Montgomery.

At a time when Rockford’s unemployment rate hovered at 14 percent, Aurora’s was 9 percent. The suburb’s Hispanic enclaves, which are generally concentrated around an aging city center with little new development, helped fill in housing and attract business, Aurora officials said.

“This really is a city of immigrants,” said Mayor Tom Weisner, who sees the Hispanic growth as a continuation of Aurora’s history, which for decades has attracted immigrants for manufacturing and railroad work.

House votes to repeal rules on Internet access WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans adamant that the government keep its hands off the Internet passed a bill Friday to repeal federal rules barring Internet service providers from blocking or setting different prices for some uses of their networks.

Republicans, in voting to repeal rules on “network neutrality” set down by the Federal Communications Commission, said the FCC lacked the authority to promulgate the rules. They disputed the need to interfere with an already open Internet and warned that the rules would

stifle investment in broadband systems.

“The FCC power grab would allow it to regulate any interstate communication service on barely more than a whim and without any additional input from Congress,” said Rep. Greg Walden, ROre., sponsor of the legislation. The Internet, he added, “is open and innovative thanks to the government’s hands-off approach.”

But in what has become a largely partisan battle, the Democrat-controlled Senate is not expected to go along with the House. Even if it

cleared Congress, the White House has threatened to veto a bill it said puts in doubt whether “the democratic spirit of the Internet will remain intact.”

Rep. Henry Waxman of California, top Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee, said nullifying the FCC rules would “give big phone and cable companies control over what websites Americans can visit, what applications they can run and what devices they can use.”

The vote to pass the bill, mainly along party lines, was 240-179.

sial provisions, including Planned Parenthood and repealing the health care law.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who said he was pleased with the deal, noted that any Senate vote to cut funding to Planned Parenthood isn’t likely to pass but “it will put the people (in the Senate) on record, which Reid didn’t want to do.”

Overall, Democrats had wanted $33 billion in cuts; Republicans originally sought $61 billion, then trimmed their request to $40 billion.

There was little dissent among GOP House lawmakers. Although they were elected in November on a “Pledge to America” to cut even more spending, they privately urged Republican leaders to take the deal.

A shutdown, many concluded, would be highly unpopular — a point that polls reinforced. And, Republicans contended, there would be other, more consequential budget f ights throughout the year.

“Our goal is not to shut down the government,” Boehner said. “Our goal is to cut spending.”

Another effort is likely next week, when the House is expected to consider a 10year spending plan to cut $6.2 trillion and make dramatic changes in tax, Medicare and Medicaid policy.

Poll: U.S. not ready for nuclear emergency WASHINGTON — Only one-quarter of Americans are confident the U.S. government is prepared to respond to a nuclear emergency similar to the one in Japan.

But an Associated Press-GfK poll shows that just three in 10 respondents think it is highly likely that such an emergency would occur at a nuclear power plant in the United States.

The poll also shows that 60 percent of Americans now say they oppose building more nuclear power plants. That’s up from 48 percent who opposed it in an AP-Stanford University Poll in November 2009.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Technology accelerates toward tipping point

By Kevin G. Hall and Renee Schoof

“

The days of sub-$100 oil are really behind us.”

McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — When oil hit a record price of $147 a barrel in July 2008, it was a gamechanging moment that sparked a serious push to create electric cars and hybrid electric engines that could help wean Americans off oil.

Today, crude is back over $100 a barrel and the payoff is the first generation of massproduced electric cars rolling off production lines.

Interest in electric vehicles has ebbed and flowed with the price of oil over the past three decades, but something new is clearly afoot. General Motors and Nissan already have electric cars on the streets of major U.S. cities, and intensif ied battery research is bringing down costs.

In 2005, there were no makers of lithium-ion batteries in the United States. Now, more than half a dozen battery plants are open or near completion, thanks in part to $2.4 billion in co-investment from the federal government.

Chevy’s Volt battery costs about $8,000 now, down from $12,000 or more a few years ago.

“The question is: Can these guys make a battery that is five times cheaper? I think yes. I think we can do it,” Eric Isaacs, the director of the Argonne National Laboratory, said in an interview.

Argonne, outside Chicago, is the Department of Energy’s lead lab for advanced battery research and development.

Its 15 years of research into lithium-ion batteries resulted in the one that’s now being

— Mahi Reddy, CEO of SemaConnect used in GM’s Chevy Volt.

“We think that increasing electric is inevitable. The speed is variable,” said Genevieve Cullen, the vice president of the Electric Drive Transportation Association, an advocacy group for electric cars.

That’s why a global race is on among the United States, Japan, China and other manufacturing powers not only to develop the next generation of battery and electric-motor technology, but to define what the auto of the future will be.

“The days of sub-$100 oil are really behind us,” Mahi Reddy, the CEO of SemaConnect, said during a company tour in Annapolis, Md. SemaConnect is one of a handful of U.S. start-up companies that are designing charging stations for electric cars, and Reddy is buoyed by the flurry of new electric cars coming out.

“That to me is a signal that a critical mass has been reached,” he said, confident that the price advantage that conventional cars still hold will narrow rapidly.

SemaConnect recently installed a charging station outside a Safeway grocery store in Westminster, Md. It’s preparing to put in 50 more in places such as regional airports and rail stations.

Federal stimulus funds totaling almost $400 million have been used to help companies such as San Franciscobased ECOtality. It manufac-

tures its Blink battery-charging stations in Detroit and is deploying stations in 18 large cities across six states. Installations began in the past several weeks in California, Washington state, Oregon and Arizona.

Rental-car giant Hertz offers electric cars at New York locations and will expand that to San Francisco and the nation’s capital in coming weeks.

“Currently, we have a few dozen vehicles. By the end of the year we anticipate having hundreds of them available,” Hertz spokeswoman Paula Rivera said. “We do view this as the future of transportation, and see adoption coming not only from having the cars available, but the ecosystem to charge them. ... As the ecosystem builds out, our fleet will increase.”

That “ecosystem” is exactly what consumer-electronics behemoth Best Buy is eyeing. The retailer expects to capitalize on the need to install 220-volt electrical sockets in homes and businesses across America to allow for speedier car charging.

“We dedicated a significant amount of resources to help this technology come to market,” said Chad Bell, the senior director of Best Buy’s New Business Solutions Group. “We think these (home charging-stations) will be purchased and sold in the future similar to how electronics are sold today.”

When a consumer buys an electric vehicle, the car equivalent of Best Buy’s computer-repair service Geek Squad would do an assessment of the customer’s needs, then send a contracting partner to install the charge station. Best Buy would remain the point of contact if problems arose.

President Barack Obama has challenged automakers to put 1 million electric cars on the road by 2015. That would be equal to one out of 12 cars sold last year.

Oil-price shocks and concern about climate change help push electric car production, but a third critical push has come from breakthroughs in battery technologies, aided by federal investment.

Battery price is the biggest cost component in an electric car.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● Google Inc. won government clearance with restrictions Friday for its $700 million purchase of airline fare tracker ITA Software in a deal that will give the Internet search giant a key role in online travel.

Google promises to give consumers more choices and better ways to search for plane tickets as it incorporates ITA technology, which powers the reservation systems of most major U.S. airlines and many popular online fare-comparison services, including KAYAK, TripAdvisor and Hotwire.

The company had to accept significant conditions, though, in a sign that federal antitrust officials are becoming more concerned about whether Google’s enormous clout as a major gateway to the Internet has the potential to stifle competition broadly online.

As Google expands far beyond its core search business into specialized markets such as travel, companies operating in all corners of the Web — and government regulators as far away as Europe — are taking notice.

Gasoline prices could hit $4 by summer

By Chris Kahn Associated Press Writer

N E W Y O R K — Oil surged above $112 per barrel Friday following a drop in the dollar and continued jitters about shipments from the world’s major oil suppliers.

Benchmark West Texas Intermediate for May delivery jumped $2.49, or 2.3 percent, to settle at $112.79 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude oil set new 30-month highs almost every day this week.

Oil moved higher as the dollar plunged against other major currencies. Oil is traded in dollars and tends to rise when the greenback falls and makes crude cheaper for investors holding foreign currency. The looming shutdown of the federal government threatened to weaken the dollar further and encouraged more buying, according to analysts.

Oil also climbed on fears that violence in Nigeria ahead of the country’s national election this weekend could lead to supply interruptions. And in Venezuela a massive blackout appears to have affected some refineries, analysts said.

The two countries supply a combined 2 million barrels of oil per day to the U.S. If crude prices keep rising, experts say, gasoline prices could hit $4 a gallon across the U.S. this summer.

Pump prices have jumped from $3.07 to $3.74 per gallon since the beginning of the year.

The swift rise forced the Oil Price Information Service to boost its retail gasoline price forecast to a range of $3.75 to $4 per gallon this year. OPIS chief oil analyst Tom Kloza said it may not be long before the

national average tests the alltime record of $4.11 per gallon set in July 2008.

Further price hikes could do serious damage to the U.S. economy, he said. For consumers, “gas prices have more relevance on an emotional level than a lot of other things that they pay for,” Kloza said. “People pay more attention to gasoline than phone service, cable TV or other services,” Kloza said.

The national average for a gallon of gas is now 88.3 cents higher than the same time last year, according to OPIS, AAA, and Wright Express. It’s already above $4 per gallon in California, Alaska and Hawaii, and it’s almost there in Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Illinois and New York.

Oil and gasoline prices began a steady rise in February, as the Libyan rebellion shut down the country’s daily exports of 1.5 million barrels of oil. Libya produces about 2 percent of world demand, and analysts say making up for those losses will severely reduce the ability of other oilproducing countries to increase production in the future. Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries are covering some of the shortfall in Libyan crude, which went mainly to ref ineries in Europe.

Barclays Capital has said that Libya’s oil exports probably will be offline for several months. As fighting continues more traders are going along with that prediction.

“The market is being forced to consider a possible major loss of Libyan barrels probably through the rest of this year and into next,” analyst Jim Ritterbusch said Friday.

GOP budget plan is bold blueprint for future

Lawrence City Commission

WASHINGTON — In 1983, the British Labor Party under the hard-left Michael Foot issued a 700-page manifesto so radical that one colleague Mike Amyx, mayor called it “the longest suicide note in his2312 Free State Lane 66047 tory.” House Budget Committee Chair843-3089 (H) 842-9425 (W) man Paul Ryan has just released a reckmikeamyx515@hotmail.com lessly bold, 73-page, 10-year budget plan. At 37 footnotes, it might be the Aron Cromwell, vice mayor most annotated suicide note in history.

1730 Bobwhite Dr. 66047 The conventional line of attack on 838-3338 Ryan’s plan is already taking shape: It ljohnson@peridiangroup.com cuts poverty programs and “privatizes” Medicare in order to cut taxes for the rich.

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

Ryan’s plan is classic tax “reform — which even Obama

says the country needs: It broadens the tax base by eliminating loopholes that, in turn, provide the revenues for reducing rates.” dependency. Ryan’s idea is to extend the same logic of rewarding work to the non-cash parts of the poverty program — from food stamps to public housing.

When you hear this being denounced as throwing the poor in the snow, remember these same charges were hurled with equal fury in 1996. President Clinton’s own assistant health and human services secretary, Peter Edelman, resigned in protest, predicting that abolishing welfare would throw a million children into poverty. On the contrary.

Within five years child poverty had declined by more than 2.5 million — one of the reasons the 1996 welfare

reform is considered one of the social policy successes of our time.

2. Critics are describing Ryan’s Medicare reform as privatization, a deliberately loaded term designed to instantly discredit the idea. Yet the idea is essentially to apply to all of Medicare the system under which Medicare Part D has been such a success: a guaranteed insurance subsidy.

Thus instead of paying the health provider directly (fee-for-service), Medicare would give seniors about $15,000 of “premium support,” letting the recipient choose among a menu of approved health-insurance plans.

Call this privatization if you like, but then would you call the Part D prescription benefit “privatized”? If so, there’s a lot to be said for it. Part D is both popular and successful. It actually beat its cost projections — a near miraculous exception to just about every health care program known to man.

Under Ryan’s plan, everyone 55 and over is unaffected. Younger workers get the insurance subsidy starting in 2022. By eventually ending the current fee-for-service system that drives up demand and therefore prices, this reform is far more likely to ensure the survival of Medicare than the current near-insolvent system.

3. The final charge — cutting taxes for the rich — is the most scurrilous.

That would be the same as calling the Ronald Reagan-Bill Bradley 1986 tax reform “cutting taxes for the rich.” In fact, it was designed for revenue neutrality. It cut rates — and for everyone

— Charles Krauthammer is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 9, 1911: "A white paste-board box filled with pretty red tablets, which to her baby eyes, YEARS looked for all the world like candy she had AGO seen, brought a terrible death to 3-year-old IN 1911 Vivian Dugan, the little daughter of W. H. Dugan, 915 Hancock, yesterday morning.

Bright-eyed Vivian had seen her mama take the pretty little candied pills at night, and when she climbed to the shelf yesterday and clutched the box in her chubby little hand, there was no one near to say her nay. A half hour later her father found her in convulsions. By the time a physician could reach the house she was dead. Death was due to strychnine poisoning, although the tablets she ate contained enough belladonna to make a fatal dose. The tablets which had been prescribed by Dr. Rudolph for Mrs. Dugan are commonly known to the medical fraternity as 'Hinckel Tablets.' They contain 1-60 of a grain of strychnine sulphate and 1-8 of a grain of belladonna together with other medicines. They are properly known as 'Cascara Cathartics' and are a very common laxative. … Yesterday when the box was picked up near the unconscious form of the little child, it contained but a single red sticky tablet. The child had eaten twenty-seven."

— by eliminating loopholes, including corrupt exemptions and economically counterproductive tax expenditures, to yield what is generally considered by left and right an extraordinarily successful piece of economic legislation.

Ryan’s plan is classic tax reform — which even Obama says the country needs: It broadens the tax base by eliminating loopholes that, in turn, provide the revenues for reducing rates. Tax reform is one of those rare public policies that produce social fairness and economic efficiency at the same time. For both corporate and individual taxes, Ryan’s plan performs the desperately needed task of cleaning out the myriad of accumulated cutouts and loopholes that have choked the tax code since 1986.

Ryan’s overall plan tilts at every windmill imaginable, including corporate welfare and agricultural subsidies. The only thing left out is Social Security. Which proves only that Ryan is not completely suicidal.

But the blueprint is brave and profoundly forward-looking. It seeks nothing less than to adapt the currently unsustainable welfare state to the demographic realities of the 21st century. Will it survive the inevitable barrage of mindless, election-driven, 30second attack ads (see above)? Alternate question: Does Obama have half of Ryan’s courage?

I think not (on both counts). But let’s hope so.

Potter rebirth To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with the cleanup of Potter Lake over the last year. This past weekend, my daughter and I were out enjoying the weather on campus and couldn’t believe the transformation of the “lake.” The shoreline has been cleaned up and we were able to walk all the way around the lake.

Even more impressive was the clarity of the water. Prior to the cleanup, the lake was so murky and covered with lily pads and vegetation it was impossible to see more than a couple of inches below the water. The water is now clear and free of vegetation, and we observed several groups of turtles and fish swimming in the lake.

Potter Lake is now on par with the structures that surround it, including the Campanile, Memorial Stadium and the Kansas University campus as a whole. Nice job.

Internet impact To the editor: After reading your recent article on the closing of the Bay Leaf store in downtown Lawrence I had to write. The owner stated that “the Internet is what’s killing us.” I hear

their pain. I am a local travel agent trying to survive in this economy because I love what I do. I live here, I work here, I spent my hard-earned money here. The Internet has completely changed the way we, as travel professionals, do business.

We work tirelessly for our clients to help them get the best value for their vacation dollar, spending hours on research and cost comparison for no pay. We are only compensated when our efforts result in a sale. Imagine how frustrating it is when we finalize a quote that is exactly what the client wants, and they take the information and book it themselves online to save $15.

We are professionals with years of training and experience. Would you expect your doctor, lawyer, dentist or accountant to work for free? Our services are at no cost to our clients although some agents are now charging an upfront service fee because of what the Internet is doing. So please, remember, whether it’s a downtown store or a professional service, keep your dollars local. We will all benefit.

Army beats protesters

A LIBYAN REBEL FIGHTER, holding a rocket launcher, shouts religious slogans Friday after gunshots were heard as fellow comrades offer prayers in the background in Ajdabia, Libya. Rebel fighters sent scouts Friday toward the contested oil port of Brega to seek clues on whether progovernment forces took advantage of a mistaken NATO airstrike that pounded opposition tanks and sent survivors into retreat.

NATO Libya campaign criticized for missteps

By Slobodan Lekic Associated Press Writer

BRUSSELS — NATO holds its fire as Moammar Gadhafi’s forces advance 100 miles into rebel territory. It then blasts a rebel tank, saying it didn’t know the rebels had any — even though footage of rebels with tanks had been on YouTube for weeks.

NATO’s leadership of the Libya campaign is coming under increasing criticism for mistakes and ineffectiveness. Nine difficult days of leading the air war have brought into sharp relief the confusion, ambiguity and constraints of the alliance’s mission.

“This is something new.

We haven’t had a significant military operation in which the Americans have taken a back seat for quite some time,” Malcolm Chalmers, a professor of defense at London’s Kings College, said Friday. “It really is unclear whether the Europeans can rise to that challenge.”

The NATO bombing of a rebel convoy on Thursday, in which five people died and at least one rebel tank was destroyed, appears to have crystalized the perception — to outsiders, at least — that the alliance is running a bumbling campaign.

Misfires are not uncommon during air operations.

And in NATO’s defense, poor visibility from thick clouds and sandstorms whipped up by brisk sea breezes has limited the targets — particularly during the lightning counterattack by Gadhafi forces early last week. Government forces pushed about 100 miles eastward from Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte past rebel forward positions at Bin Jawwad, pushing the rebels

back to Ras Lanuf and later to Brega, where the front is now.

Further complicating the military campaign has been a lack of human spotters on the ground — CIA agents in Libya are said to be gathering intelligence on the organizational structure of the rebel movement rather than coordinating airstrikes — and no established network for NATO and the ragtag group of rebels to communicate.

But as the rebels angrily accused the alliance of mistakes and neglect, NATO’s frustrated leaders refused to apologize Friday for the bombing of the tanks. And NATO commanders, in turn, are frustrated that the rebels see NATO as their proxy air force, rather than a force to protect civilians in Libya.

There is significant ambiguity about the scope and objective of the mission. The U.N. resolution under which the alliance operates requires it to protect civilians from Gadhaf i’s forces while remaining impartial.

“There’s a very difficult trade-off for NATO here,” Chalmers said. “If they wait until they’re absolutely certain that they’ve got the targets right and that there are no civilians, Gadhafi’s forces will have vanished in the confusion by then.”

Adding to NATO’s woes, the U.S., which handed off its leadership role March 31, halted its combat role this week. That move is depriving NATO of certain kinds of aircraft that could prove useful in some of the close urban warfare battles between forces loyal to Gadhafi and rebels bent on his ouster.

NATO acknowledged Friday that its airstrikes had hit rebels using tanks to fight government forces in eastern

Libya, saying it thought only Gadhafi regime forces had used heavy armored vehicles.

Yet if NATO did not know, that seems extraordinary: Video and photos from the start of the uprising against Gadhafi’s rule a month ago showed that some Libyan armored units had changed sides in the early stages of the rebellion, bringing their equipment with them.

On Friday, British Rear Adm. Russell Harding, deputy commander of the NATO operation, said it was difficult for allied pilots to distinguish between rebels and regime troops engaged in a series of advances and retreats between the eastern coastal towns of Brega and Ajdabiya.

“I am not apologizing (for the bombing),” Harding told reporters in Naples, Italy, where the alliance’s operational center is located. “The situation on the ground was and remains extremely fluid, and until yesterday we did not have information that (rebel) forces are using tanks.”

NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen expressed regret over the rebels’ loss of life, but he too offered no apology.

A U.S.-led coalition initially launched the air war on March 19. Although the first such strikes on Libyan targets quickly destroyed most of Gadhafi’s fixed surface-to-air missile emplacements and the radars that control them, Gadhafi’s forces are believed to have hundreds of automatic cannon and shoulderlaunched rockets — including sophisticated Russianbuilt Iglas — that can easily down planes like A-10 Thunderbolts or AC-130 gunships at low altitudes.

CAIRO (AP) — Soldiers beat hundreds of protesters with clubs and fired heavy volleys of gunfire into the air in a predawn attack that broke up a demonstration in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square, a sign of the increasing tensions between Egypt’s ruling military and the country’s protest movement.

A force of around 300 soldiers swept into the square around 3 a.m. today and waded into a tent camp in the center where protesters had formed a human cordon to protect several army officers who joined their demonstration, witnesses said.

The troops dragged an unknown number of protesters away, throwing them into police trucks.

“I saw women being slapped in the face, women being kicked,” cried one female protester, who was among around 200 who fled to take refuge in a nearby mosque. Troops surrounded the mosque and heavy gunfire was heard for hours. Protesters in the mosque reported large numbers of injured, including several wounded by gunfire.

The assault came hours after tens of thousands massed in Tahrir Square on Friday in one of the biggest protests in weeks, demanding that the military prosecute ousted president Hosni Mubarak and his family for alleged corruption.

The rally was a show of the increasing impatience and mistrust that many Egyptians feel toward the military, which was handed power when Mubarak was forced out of office on Feb. 11. Some protesters accuse the military leadership of protecting Mubarak — a former military man himself — and more broadly, many are unclear on the army’s intentions in the country’s transition.

U.N. says Ivory Coast negotiation was a ‘trick’

By Anita Snow Associated Press Writer

U N I T E D N A T I O N S — This week’s offer by Ivory Coast strongman Laurent Gbagbo’s top three generals to surrender evidently was a “trick” to buy time, the head of U.N. peacekeeping said Friday.

U.N. peacekeeping director Alain Le Roy told reporters after briefing the Security Council Friday afternoon that Gbagbo and his military men apparently used Tuesday negotiations with the U.N. as a ploy to consolidate power.

“They said they came to us to negotiate a peaceful exit and that has not happened,” Le Roy said of the generals. “It is very clear that the time was used Tuesday during negotiations for Mr. Gbagbo to reinforce his position.”

Reports that Gbagbo and his top military men were negotiating a surrender had raised expectations Tuesday that the four-month political standoff in the western African nation was nearing an end.

But Gbagbo later strongly denied that he would give up, and insisted that the presidency was rightfully his.

In power for a decade, Gbagbo refuses to step aside even though the U.N. has ruled that he lost the November presidential election to his political rival Alassane Ouattara. Ouattara remains holed up inside a hotel in the main city of Abidjan.

Acting on a recent Security Council resolution, United

Associated Press Writer

B E I R U T — Mass protests calling for sweeping changes in Syria’s authoritarian regime turned deadly Friday, with the government and protesters both claiming heavy casualties as the country’s three-week uprising entered a dangerous new phase.

The bloodiest clashes occurred in the restive city of Daraa, where human rights activists and witnesses said Syrian security forces opened fire on tens of thousands of protesters, killing 25 people and wounding hundreds.

At the same time, state-run TV said 19 policemen and members of the security forces were killed when gunmen opened fire on them. It was the first significant claim of casualties by the Syrian government, which has contended that armed gangs rather than true reform-seekers are behind the unrest — and it could signal plans for a stepped-up retaliation.

The protests were in response to calls by organizers to take to the streets every Friday to demand change in

one of the most rigid nations in the Middle East. Marches were held in cities across the country as the movement showed no sign of letting up, despite the violent crackdowns.

At least 32 protesters were killed nationwide, according to human rights activists. The bloodshed lifted the death toll from three weeks of protests to more than 170 people, according to Amnesty International.

U.S. President Barack Obama in a statement Friday night condemned the violence and called on Syrian authorities to refrain from attacks on peaceful protesters.

“Furthermore, the arbitrary arrests, detention, and torture of prisoners that has been reported must end now, and the free flow of information must be permitted so that there can be independent verification of events on the ground,” he said.

The calls for reform have shaken the regime of President Bashar Assad, whose family has ruled Syria for more than 40 years. Assad, a British-trained eye doctor, inherited power from his father 11 years ago and tried to help the country emerge

from years of international isolation and lift Soviet-style economic restrictions.

But despite early promises of social and political change, Assad has slipped back into the autocratic ways of his father.

As the wave of protests have gathered steam, Assad has offered some limited concessions — firing local officials and forming committees to look into replacing the country’s despised emergency laws, which allow the regime to arrest people without charge. On Thursday, he granted citizenship to thousands of Kurds, fulfilling a decades-old demand of the country’s long-ostracized minority.

But those gestures have failed to mollify a growing movement that is raising the ceiling on its demands for concrete reforms and free elections.

“The protests are about Syrians wanting freedom after 42 years of repression,” said Murhaf Jouejati, a Syria expert at George Washington University.

“Mr. Assad may fire all the people he wants, this still doesn’t touch on the basic issues and the basic demands of the protesters.”

— U.N. peacekeeping director Alain Le Roy Nations attack helicopters on Monday bombarded six arms depots in Abidjan, including a cache inside the presidential compound held by Gbagbo and his supporters.

French forces have also lent military support in Ivory Coast this week, helping rescue the Japanese ambassador and seven others on Thursday.

Le Roy said the U.N. had received requests from nearly two dozen countries as of late Friday to help rescue diplomats from embassies, including the United States, Israel and South Africa. He said he believed some relocations of diplomats were taking place as he spoke.

The Security Council late last month stressed its “full support for the U.N. peacekeeping force in Ivory Coast “to use all necessary means to carry out its mandate to protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence ... including to prevent the use of heavy weapons against the civilian population.”

Copper theft forces raffle of family horse FILLMORE, MO. (AP) — A northwest Missouri family whose future home was struck by copper thieves is raffling off one of its horses this weekend to raise money for the repairs.

Melinda Lee says she was nearly ready to move with her husband and children into a double-wide mobile home near Fillmore when vandals ripped the place apart.

Lee and her mother, Pam Pettijohn, say the home had needed only some carpeting, linoleum and patchwork before it would be ready for occupancy. Now, they have to replace broken windows, appliances and walls that were torn apart for the copper wire, at an estimated cost of $15,000.

The St. Joseph News-Press reports the family will hold a raffle for one of its horses at the Fillmore swap meet and flea market today and Sunday.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S JASON BRUNANSKY SLIDES INTO HOME after a wild pitch as Nebraska pitcher Matt Freeman (11) waits for the ball. KU edged the Huskers, 5-4, Friday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Walz helps Jayhawks scrap past NU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nine timely singles, three survivable errors and three strong pitching performances.

That was the winning formula Friday night for Kansas University’s baseball team, which crept closer to .500 with a 5-4 victory against Nebraska at Hoglund Ballpark.

Senior starter T.J. Walz, of Omaha, Neb., continued his mastery of his home-state rival with a six-inning, six-strikeout performance that led to his third win in four career tries against the Cornhuskers.

Asked if it had become routine to hurdle the Huskers, Walz said no and pointed to the loss as the reason why. “(Last year), I didn’t throw well against them, and they knocked me around a little bit,” Walz said.

“So it was great to go out and give my team a chance to win. I didn’t have my best stuff today, but sometimes you don’t have it, and you just gotta go pitch.”

The victory, which moved Kansas to 14-16 overall and 5-5 in Big 12 play, was especially pleasing for KU coach Ritch Price because of what it meant to his hard-working ace.

“I was thrilled for T.J. tonight,” Price said. “To beat his hometown

KU’S BRANDON MACIAS GATHERS WITH TEAMMATES prior to the Jayhawks’ game against Nebraska. team three out of four times in his career, he grinded and he showed the maturity of what a Fridaynight starter in this conference has to have to be successful.”

Specifically, that was pitching through poor defensive moments behind him.

A throwing error in the third allowed Nebraska (20-12, 2-5) to touch Walz for three runs, all unearned, and momentarily put the Jayhawks behind, 3-2. But Walz

got out of the inning with minor damage, and Jimmy Waters and Zac Elgie came up with RBIs in the bottom of the inning to give Walz the lead back.

All of KU’s nine hits were singles, just two of which led to RBIs. Nebraska tied the game in the fifth when a pitch from Walz hit Kash Kalkowski on the elbow with the bases loaded. But, again, KU answered in the bottom of the fifth and took the lead for good on

an RBI single from Jason Brunansky.

That set the stage for the KU bullpen to work its magic. Fresh2 man Frank Duncan pitched 1 ⁄ 3 innings, walking two and striking out two, and Colton Murray picked up the final four outs in dramatic fashion.

After another KU error in the eighth left the door cracked and allowed NU to load the bases, Duncan came out, and Murray entered. He wasted no time in coercing Josh Scheffert to ground out to second to end the threat.

“I’ve learned to love high-pressure situations,” Murray said. “And bases loaded is definitely one of my favorites. Most people are shaky knees, and I really enjoy coming in when the bases are loaded.”

More drama unfolded in the ninth when Nebraska had a runner at third with two outs and its best hitter stepping to the plate. Rather than give third baseman Cody Asche a chance to tie the game, the KU bench asked Murray to pitch around him. It worked for two pitches, but the third pitch, on a 20 count, sailed right down the middle and could have been trouble.

“Yeah, I left it over the plate, and I got scared,” Murray said. “I thought he was gonna swing, and I Please see KU BASEBALL, page 5B

Newcomer Martinez sparks Tigers

By Noah Trister Associated Press Sports Writer

DETROIT CLOSER JOSE VALVERDE CELEBRATES an out in the ninth inning. The Tigers beat the Royals, 5-2, Friday in Detroit.

D E T R O I T — Victor Martinez barely had time to settle in at his new home ballpark before walking to the plate with the bases loaded — exactly the kind of situation for which the Detroit Tigers signed him.

Martinez hit a three-run double in his first home at-bat for Detroit, helping the Tigers to a 52 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday. Martinez, who joined with the team as a free agent in November, plated three runs in the first inning with a

drive to the gap in right-center field.

“I think that’s the easiest way to ROYALS become a fan VS. TIGERS favorite,” teammate Max When: 3:10 p.m.

Scherzer said.

“How many Where: Detroit Victor Mar- Pitchers: Chen (0tinez jerseys 0) vs. Coke (0-1) did you just TV: FSKC (cable sell?” channels 36, 236) Jhonny Peralta drove in two runs for the Tigers, who looked sharp in their home open-

er after losing four-of-six to start the season.

Detroit added Martinez, Joaquin Benoit and Brad Penny in the offseason, hoping to make a run at first place in the AL Central. Tigers fans eager to see their new-look team caught a break when the rain in the area began to subside before the first pitch.

Detroit then scored four runs in the first inning.

Kansas City starter Kyle Davies (0-1) walked two and threw two wild pitches in the first inning alone. Martinez’s double made it 3-0.

“It’s a great feeling,” Martinez

said. “You look up, you see a full house. That makes you bring your ‘A’ game every time.”

Peralta drove in another run with a double of his own down the left-field line.

Scherzer (2-0) allowed one run on seven hits in six innings, recovering nicely after giving up four home runs against the Yankees in his first start of the season.

“My outing in New York, it really wasn’t as bad as the line suggested,” Scherzer said. “I made some mistakes, they hit Please see ROYALS, page 5B

Masters The prescient Masters Committee paired McIlroy, Fowler and Day — ages 21, 22 and 23, respectively — and the threesome lighted up the scoreboard, combining to shoot 23under. They were 7, 8 and 9 when Woods won the 1997 Masters, the first of his 14 major championships, at age 21.

“I’m a little older now, I guess,” Woods said. “This is the next generation. It’s good to see these guys playing with that much enthusiasm and zest for the game . That generation is going to be a fun one to watch, how it matures over the next 10, 15 years.”

Woods has struggled with swing changes and turmoil in his personal life, but on the back nine Friday, he looked like the player who held the game hostage from 1997 to 2008.

His birdie on No. 18 was something to behold. He lost his tee shot right and his 160yard approach to the green from the first cut was blocked by trees. He started his 8-iron at the left greenside bunker and it curved 20 yards to the right and plopped down 12 feet from the hole.

Not many players on earth have that shot.

“It was nice to get it going today, and it was nice to put myself only three back,” Woods said. “I’m very pleased.”

McIlroy followed his firstround 65 with a solid 69 on Friday.

He didn’t make a bogey until his 30th hole but could manage only pars on the last five holes.

LHS track teams fifth in Topeka

LENEXA — Free State High’s baseball team rapped seven hits but didn’t score in a 3-0 loss to Shawnee Mission Northwest on Friday.

Colin Toalson went 2-for-2 with a walk for the Firebirds (51).

Tim Lewis gave up five hits, striking out four and walking one in four innings.

“Our opponent was fantastic.

They threw strikes, and defensively they were impressive.

They turned a few double plays.

Whenever we hit the ball hard they were there to make plays,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said.

TOPEKA — Marty Williams won the boys shot put, and Krista Costa won the girls high jump to highlight Lawrence High’s performance Friday at the Topeka Relays.

Williams won with a toss of 50 feet, 5 inches.

Lawrence’s Steven Hill was second in the triple jump (4210), and Nicolas Shump was second in the 3,200 (10:14.45.).

PAT AND MICHAEL LECHTENBERG hosted a gathering Jan. 9 to raise money and collect donated items for the Boys and Girls Club, CASA and the Humane Society. The idea was to find the most valuable item from the charities’ “wish lists” that represented the best after-holiday season bargain. The club reported a total of more than $450 for the event. Welcome Club members, from left, are Trudy Urbanski, Sally Cloar, Sharon Oshsenhirt, Pat Lechtenberg and Angie Davidson, with items from the charities’ wish lists.

How do you comfort worshipers who are trying to make sense of a job loss?

————

By networking, providing free HR services including computers The Rev. Jeff Barclay, lead pastor, Christ Community Church, 1100 Kasold Drive: Christ Community Church believes Jesus Christ cares deeply for those who experience job loss. We also believe Jesus expects us to be His hands of caring.

Within our congregation the care of those who have experienced the loss of employment is intentional, but more organic than formal.

With this approach we individualize our help while also protecting the privacy and dignity of the unemployed or under-employed.

Fortunately, only a few in our worshipping community have experienced a lengthy job loss. However, we do have those who have been unemployed for over a year. In

some situations we have discreetly given money, paid utility bills and rents, or provided Christmas gifts. We also use networking, leveraging our congregant’s community connections to help those who have experienced job loss to locate “unadvertised” Barclay employment positions.

CCC also provides free human resource expertise in writing or updating résumés and makes church computers available for job searches and filling out applications.

One regret of local job losses is that we have had to assure key volunteers that

relocation to another community is OK. (But we miss them and they miss us.) In a couple of situations we have located free child care and emotional/logistical support for families when job loss results in the predicament of a new position requiring working evenings or weekends.

Our impressions, in observing those who have experienced job loss, are their testimonies of not complaining.

After questions and confusion have been worked through, CCC has witnessed faithfilled confidence that employment is coming. In that respect the unemployed have comforted us much more than we have comforted them.

Build a support system by listening, encourage self assessment The Rev. Peter Luckey, senior pastor, Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vt.: Chances are, in this economy, you know someone who has lost their job. You may have wondered, “How can I be a good friend, what could I say that would be helpful?”

As a pastor, here is how I might respond.

First, listen. Be there. Be a presence. Emotionally, a job loss may not register on the human Richter scale at the same level as the loss of good health or a loved one, but it is a loss nonetheless. All loss involves grief. Such experiences strike at the core of our being. They evoke life’s deepest questions; not only as in the case of unemployment, “How are we going to pay the

bills, put food on the table?” but even more fundamentally, in a world where who we are is so tied up with what we do, we ask, “Who am I?” Second, remind them that their self image need not be def ined by this crazy world. We Luckey are loved by an incalculable love, and nothing can separate us from it.

Third, I would invite the person to see that their “job” now is to go on a search. By “search” I mean not only the incredibly hard work of locating new employment — networking, résumé building

and submitting applications, and risking rejection at every turn — but the even harder work of self assessment, asking, “What are my signature gifts? What is my passion? If I knew I was going to die tomorrow, what is the one thing I would regret if I never gave it a try?”

The author Frederick Buechner has a wonderful sentence that might serve as a helpful guide, “Your vocation is where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”

Finally, I would say, build a support system. We so often think we are all alone in our struggles, when the truth is everyone deals with loss. It is part of life.

Tired of all of those Tiffany vases, Chippendale davenports and Gibson guitars appraised on “Antiques Roadshow”? Looking for a show where the antiques are weird? Then Science channel has a series for you. “Oddities” (9 p.m., Science) follows Mike and Evan, owners of Obscura Antiques and Oddities in New York’s East Village, a place where you’re more likely to find a used straight-jacket than grandma’s quilt.

Having assembled their slightly creepy collection, Mike and Evan also attract a clientele straight out of the Addams Family. A circus performer furiously bargains for a freak-show item and also shows us how he can chew up light bulbs. He hams it up by warning us, “Don’t do this at home.” One presumes that those new energy-saving bulbs may put a crimp in his routine.

One eager visitor brings our hosts an old medical book that she believes may have been bound in human skin. Another man, a dentist, no less, thinks he’s been bequeathed a real shrunken head. Ever diligent, Mike takes the book to a DNA lab and has a quasi-famous lawyer determine the legality of owning human remains.

Who pays for these professional consultations? Mike, the customer or The Science Channel? Or do the experts appear gratis Playboy magazine founder as a kind of product placement? “Oddities” Hugh Hefner is 85. may be quirky, but as reality television Naturalist Jim Fowler goes, it’s pretty run of the mill.

You will naturally achieve a lot more. If you are single, a person you meet during this cycle might not be a forever lover (but could be), yet you count on this person's significance in your life and friendship. If you are attached, your upbeat smile adds a certain magic to your bond. Cancer can be difficult but cares.

Dear Annie: We are in our 80s and have known “Ed and Jane” for 15 years. They sometimes invite us to spend a couple of nights at their condo in another state, and we reciprocate. It went fairly well until the past few years.

Now the first thing Jane mentions is how much weight I’ve gained, and the conversation is always about food. The last time we visited, my husband and I brought Chinese takeout. After Ed and Jane finished their soup, they were “stuffed” and insisted they couldn’t eat another bite.

When they come here, it’s the same thing. I try to serve small portions and healthy meals, but it’s always “way too much.” Jane and Ed are really skinny. I am a little heavier than I should be because I don’t get enough physical activity, but I try to eat nutritious, well-balanced meals.

Jane and Ed now want to visit again, and I’m already losing sleep over the thought.

We have an extra bedroom, but my husband hasn’t been well lately and needs his own space, so I’ve taken the second room. If guests come, I’d have to sleep on the couch. And the extra grocery shopping, laundry and cooking wears me out. I particularly don’t want to take on the additional burden when I know the visit will be all about food.

We no longer converse
