Full-day kindergarten expanding as school cuts loom

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Broken Arrow and Sunflower schools will provide full-day kindergarten, even as the Lawrence school board broadens its consideration of potential budget cuts for the coming school year.

High: 72

Monday night, board members voted to spend $132,500 to bolster kindergarten programming at the two schools, which are among seven elementaries that currently offer only half-day kindergarten.

The district came up with the money by opting to close Wakarusa Valley School next

year. That move would be expected to save $487,508 — not including the additional $75,000 in “atrisk” financing and $68,422 in transportation savings that would be tapped to finance the kindergarten offerings.

The two schools getting the full-day kindergarten also happen to be the ones set to welcome

all of Wakarusa Valley’s students: Kids living in the Easy Living Mobile Home Park, near Target, will go to Sunflower, and others will go to Broken Arrow.

“I really like providing a real tangible benefit to those (future) students who are giving up their school,” said Vanessa Sanburn, a school board member.

DEATHS KATHRYN CALLIE ANDERSON MCCREE CHICAGO — Services for Kathryn Callie Anderson McCree,96, Chicago, were held Saturday at Oakdale Covenant Church in Chicago with the Rev. Drs. D. Darrell Griffin and Willie Jemison officiating.

Mrs. McCree died Thursday, March 31, 2011.

She was born Aug. 14, 1914, in Wilmington, N.C., the daughter of Callie Larkins and David James Anderson.

She graduated from high school in Wilmington.

Mrs. McCree attended Kansas University. She had worked as a licensed cosmetologist. In Baltimore, she worked at the Social Security Administration. After moving to Lawrence, Kan., in 1953, she worked in the health department and East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation (ECKAN), served as treasurer for Summer Teen Programs (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) and retired from KU. Mrs. McCree was a community organizer both in New York and Lawrence.

She was actively involved in the civil rights movement.

She was a member of the local chapter of the NAACP, in which she held every elective office. She was on the board of directors for the

Ballard Community Center, was a past member of the Older Women’s League (OWL) and Friends of McCree the Court.

Mrs. McCree was a member of St. James A.M.E. Church.

At St. James, she was the head steward, trustee, choir member, church treasurer, Sunday school member and member of the Willing Workers.

She married Alexander McCree in 1929. He preceded her in death.

She was also preceded in death by her parents; a daughter, Delories Williams; three sons, Alexander, Rudolph and Lockwood; three brothers, John, David and William; three sisters, Irene, Mary and Lilliebelle; and a grandson, Lockwood Anderson Jr. Survivors include two daughters, Mary Thomas, Hemet, Calif., and Myrna McCree, Las Vegas; a son, William McCree, Lawrence; 12 grandchildren; and numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Tickets CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Prosecutors say they still aren’t sure what consulting duties he had handled, other than furthering the conspiracy.

In a filing Monday morning, prosecutors detailed the $841 , 111 in proceeds the Blubaughs reaped from the conspiracy: ● 2005: $35,440. ● 2006: $124,210. ● 2007: $115,085.65. ● 2008: $229,224.84. ● 2009: $337,150.80.

The Blubaughs “enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, including an expensive home in Cedar Creek with pool and customized patio,” wrote Richard Hathaway, an assistant U.S. attorney, in a motion filed Monday seeking a sentencing of 57 months in prison for Charlette Blubaugh. “They purchased vacations, vacation timeshares and a motor home.

And they have not provided the government with a reasonable explanation of all that happened to the money.”

Thomas Blubaugh had sought a sentence of 21 months in prison. He also has asked for a delay in whatever sentence his wife might receive until after he has finished his, so that she would be able to care for the two children they have together, ages 6 and 5.

In court, Thomas Blubaugh apologized for the situation he has placed his children in.

“Unfortunately, my actions will leave them with an embarrassing legacy that will affect them for the rest of their lives,” he said, reading from a written statement.

Thomas Blubaugh’s sentence is equal to that imposed upon Rodney Jones, former associate athletics director for the Williams Fund. Kassie Liebsch, a former systems analyst who had taken over the tickets job upon Charlette Blubaugh’s departure — only to resign upon their indict-

ment in November — has been sentenced to 37 months in prison.

Still awaiting sentencing next month is Ben Kirtland, former associate athletics director for development.

Kirtland is the Kansas Athletics official who signed off on consulting payments to Thomas Blubaugh.

The conspirators all share responsibility for a $2 million forfeiture judgment, intended to ensure that none of them retain any profits from their illegal activities.

Two other former Kansas Athletics employees — Jason Jeffries and Brandon Simmons — earlier had been granted probation after pleading guilty to their failure to notify authorities about the scam.

Authorities say the theft of tickets occurred from 2005 to 2010.

And authorities are still checking into the recent discovery of 14 boxes of tickets found in a storage unit in Lenexa that had been maintained by Thomas Blubaugh.

The boxes included some tickets considered “deadwood,” because they didn’t have a market: soccer, baseball, women’s basketball and some for football and men’s basketball.

“But there were over 3,000 Orange Bowl tickets (an event that was sold out) and thousands of parking tickets (which we have to purchase from KU parking and sell to donors),” said Judy Pottorff, the department’s general counsel, as quoted in Hathaway’s motion filed Monday.

“There are some tickets to some games that were sold out (KSU football games).”

Following Monday’s hearing, Hathaway declined to discuss the discovery of the boxes of tickets found in Lenexa, saying that such information would be addressed Thursday, during Charlette Blubaugh’s sentencing hearing.

Associated Press Writer

WICHITA — In a courtroom in Wichita, the day begins much as it has for the past 49 years: Court is in session, U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown presiding. But what happens next is no longer routine; it’s a testament to one man’s sheer determination.

As lawyers and litigants wait in respectful silence, Brown, who is 103, carefully steers his power wheelchair behind the bench, his stooped frame almost disappearing behind its wooden bulk. He adjusts under his nose the plastic tubes from the oxygen tank lying next to the day’s case documents.

Then his voice rings out loud and firm to his law clerk, “Call your case.”

Brown is the oldest working federal judge in the nation, one of four appointees by President Kennedy still on the bench.

Federal judgeships are lifetime appointments, and no one has taken that term more seriously than Brown.

“As a federal judge, I was appointed for life or good behavior, whichever I lose first,” Brown quipped in an interview. How does he plan to leave the post? “Feet first,” he says.

In a profession where advanced age isn’t unusual, and indeed is valued as a source of judicial wisdom, Brown — who is handling cases in the Kansas Athletics Inc. ticket sales scheme — has left legal colleagues awestruck by his stamina and devotion to work. His service also epitomizes how the federal court system keeps working even as litigation steadily increases, new judgeships remain rare, and judicial openings go unfilled for months or years.

“Senior judges keep the federal court system afloat given the rising caseloads,” said David Sellers, spokesman for the Administrative Off ice of the U.S. Courts. Of the 1,294 sitting federal judges, Brown is one of 516 on “senior status,” a form of semi-retirement that allows a judge to collect his salary but work at a reduced case level if he chooses. They handle almost a quarter of federal district trials.

And no one alive has logged more service than Brown, who took senior status in 1979 but still worked full-time until recently. In March, he stopped taking new criminal cases and lightened his case load a bit. He still takes his full share of the new civil cases.

“I do it to be a public service,” Brown said. “You got to have a reason to live. As long as you perform a public service, you have a reason to live.”

Wisdom of ages Brown gets a ride to the federal courthouse at 8:30 a.m. every workday from the assisted living center where he lives. Until he was in his 90s, he climbed the stairs to his fourth-floor chambers.

He works until about 3 p.m. presiding over hearings, reading court filings and dis-

Travis Morisse/Hutchinson News File Photo

FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE WESLEY BROWN is shown in this June 4, 2007, file photo in Wichita, shortly before his 100th birthday. Brown, the oldest working federal judge in the nation, has been handling cases in the KU Athletics Inc. ticket scam. cussing cases with his law clerks who handle the legal research.

In one concession to age, he keeps court hearings relatively short. But he listens intently to testimony and tells defendants to speak up or slow down if he has trouble following their statements. And, if necessary, he can be stern with lawyers, prodding them in a strong voice not to waste time.

Brown is known for his compassion for defendants, even those he sends to prison.

When he sentenced Kassie Liebsch last month to 37 months for her role in the KU ticket scandal, he told the tearful 28-year-old woman how much he and other court officials wanted her to succeed in the future.

“As an old man, it is hard for me to say I am sorry it happened,” Brown told her. “I know you will do the right thing. Good luck and be well.”

Brown also serves a senior statesman in the courthouse, giving colleagues the benefit of his long experience.

“He never pressures us or tells us what to do,” said District Judge Eric Melgren, 54.

“He shares his thoughts and we can benefit as we see fit.”

Melgren, formerly the U.S. attorney for Kansas, recalled that Brown took him aside after he became top federal prosecutor and advised him that the most important decisions he would make would be the ones no one knew about — the ones in which he declined to prosecute someone. Melgren found that to be sound advice. Melgren said Brown also shares his thoughts on points of law.

“I don’t get the perspective that he is stuck in the last century,” Melgren said. “His views are pretty much as the rest of us.”

Keeping current Brown has a computer on

his desk that he uses to keep up with current events and trends.

Some parties in lawsuits, however, have been skeptical about the idea of a 103-yearold judge hearing their case.

Last month Brown ruled in favor of Omaha-based Northern Natural Gas Co. in its bid to condemn more than 9,100 acres in south-central Kansas to contain gas migrating from an underground storage facility. The decision angered some of the 173 property owners affected.

“I don’t care how good a guy he is,” said Dorothy Trinkle, of Preston, one of the landowners. “Your mental and physical attributes diminish with age and I think there should be a cutoff date for federal judges. This is ridiculous to have him in there at that age.”

Brown — who was born on June 22, 1907, in Hutchinson — is six years older than the next oldest sitting federal judge. At least eight other federal judges are in their 90s, according to a federal court database.

He began his career in private practice in Hutchinson in 1933 and was appointed U.S. district judge in 1962.

He has outlived two wives and only moved into an assisted living center four years ago.

Brown was able to play golf with his staff until 2006. Now, because of his physical limitations, his chief hobby is reading. He prefers murder mysteries and borrows Louis L’Amour westerns from his law clerk.

Brown has asked his colleagues to notify him if at any point they feel he is no longer able to do his job.

“I will quit this job when I think it is time,” Brown said.

“And I hope I do so and leave the country in better shape because I have been a part of it.”

KBA hires firm to conduct audit

1 | TOKYO

Severity of nuclear crisis upgraded Japan’s nuclear safety agency has raised the severity rating of the crisis at its nuclear plant to the highest level, on par with the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.

An official with the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan, speaking on national television, said today the rating was raised from 5 to 7.

The official, who was not named, said the amount of radiation leaking from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant was around 10 percent of that in the Chernobyl accident.

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — The Kansas Bioscience Authority on Monday said it has hired a firm to conduct a forensic audit of the agency.

The KBA has been under fire from Gov. Sam Brownback, who said public confidence in the economic development agency has been shaken by reports of a criminal investigation into it.

KBA board President John Carlin said the board hired BKD LLP, one of the 10 largest CPA and advisory firms in the country, to make an independent audit of the KBA. In a letter to Brownback, legislative leaders, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Johnson Country District Attorney Steve Howe, Carlin invited them to address all matters of concern to BKD’s team.

“Finally, I reiterate the board’s complete assurance that, as has always been the case, we are fully committed to a policy of maximum accountability and transparency and proper use of public funds,” Carlin said. In the letter, there was no timetable on when the audit would be completed.

Prosecutors have refused to disclose anything about the investigation.

The authority is responsible for investing $581million in tax dollars to develop the bioscience industry in Kansas.

Sen. Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, has held several meetings in which she has criticized KBA leaders, but officials with the agency have said her comments are off base.

Suspected terrorist blast kills 11

Tulips take in some rays

An explosion tore through a key subway station in the Belarusian capital of Minsk during evening rush hour Monday, killing 11 people and wounding 126. An official said the blast was a terrorist act.

President Alexander Lukashenko did not say what caused the explosion at the Oktyabrskaya subway station, but suggested outside forces could be behind it.

“I do not rule out that this gift could have been brought from outside,” Lukashenko said. The authoritarian leader, under strong pressure from the West over his suppression of the opposition, has frequently alleged outside forces seek to destabilize his regime.

Deputy prosecutor-general Andrei Shved said the blast was a terrorist act, but did not give further details.

The Republican, who has been plotting a comeback since losing the GOP presidential nomination to John McCain three years ago, offered himself as the person best able to lead a country struggling to recover from economic crisis.

Employees, witnesses still dealing with trauma from car crash at clinic “

Hillary Emerson, an optician at Lawrence Family Vision, said the car came through the wall right at her and pushed her back about 15 feet, causing bruising that required a hospital visit.

She didn’t recognize it as a car at first — she just was hoping it would stop.

The car took out a couple of work stations and came into an area that is usually packed on Tuesday afternoons. At times there can be 20 people looking at eyeglass frames or waiting around, employees said.

The nonprofit organization provides meals to about 120 homebound residents five days a week with the help of 100 volunteers.

The Sixth Street Hy-Vee store will begin providing the meals May 31, and volunteers will pick them up for delivery at Meals on Wheels, 2121 Kasold Drive.

Hy-Vee will be providing special dietary meals, like Lawrence Memorial Hospital has done for the past 35 years.

Meals on Wheels began looking for a new caterer in December after it learned renovation would close LMH’s kitchen for several months this summer.

During the work, LMH offered to supply sack lunches that would have to be picked up in mid- to late-afternoon instead of at the lunch hour.

So, Meals on Wheels began looking at other options and

That made all the jokes — like those who commented about the clinic adding drive-through service — seem dismissive, too, she said.

The clinic is facing a lot of physical repairs, which adds to the stress level. More than 300 eyeglass frames were damaged along with cabinets and work spaces, among other damages.

The driver’s insurance was not enough to cover all the damages, and Pederson said the office is working with its own insurance company to recoup the rest.

It’s important for others to follow the lead of trauma victims when talking about the incident and not to press them for details, Epstein said, and to encourage Please see HY-VEE, page 5A people to seek help if needed.

Dave McFarlane, owner of The Eudora police departthe business at 694 E. 1700 ment said no updates were available, including the man's condition, late Monday night.

DISTRICT COURT • A 31-year-old man pleaded not guilty Monday to five child sex crime charges and will face an Aug. 1 trial in the Douglas County case.

Prosecutors accused the man, who had a Garden City address, at the time of his arrest of sexually abusing one girl and attempting to abuse her younger sister when the girls lived in Lawrence from 2007 to 2009. During a recent preliminary hearing prosecutors said the defendant is the exboyfriend of the girls’ mother and had lived with the family in Lawrence.

The girls alleged the abuse occurred while their mother as at work.

Last week District Judge Michael Malone ordered the man to face a trial on three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, one count of aggravated criminal sodomy and one count of attempted aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

The Journal-World generally does not identify sex crime suspects unless they have been convicted.

Road, said if the rezoning and accompanying preliminary land plan are approved, he hopes to build a 24,000square-foot facility on the space. The business is currently in 20,000 square feet of space.

“We’re very compact,” he said. “We do not waste any space right now. It’s finally gotten to the point where it’s hurting efficiency.”

The company has grown from three employees when it was established to 38, and with the expansion, McFarlane expects to continue hir-

ing. He’s experienced growth in a down economy because the company produces parts to repair airplanes, and many people are choosing to repair rather than buy new.

As he planned for expansion, he involved employees, who asked for a fitness room with showers and an enlarged break room.

“We like to keep our people happy,” he said. “We want them to have a pleasant time here.”

KU unveils new research awards

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Four Kansas University researchers have been selected to receive the first University Scholarly Achievement awards.

The recipients are Brian Blagg, professor of medicinal chemistry; Derrick Darby, associate professor of philosophy; Patricia Hawley, associate professor of psychology; and Bangere Purnaprajna, professor of mathematics.

The awards were developed by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and are meant to recognize outstanding scholarship, said Jack Martin, a KU spokesman.

Though the university has several high-profile teaching awards, Gray-Little felt that

establishing a high-profile research award would enhance the research mission of the university, Martin said.

“KU faculty members contribute to our world every day through their teaching and through their scholarly achievement,” Gray-Little said in a statement. “This award recognizes the value of those achievements to the state, nation and world and honors some of the world-class professors we have here at KU.” Each winner will receive an $8,000.

Their work covers a variety of the different f ields of research at KU. Blagg is being honored for his work with protein inhibitors associated with possible treatments of cancer and diseases like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.

Darby is receiving the award for his book “Rights, Race and Recognition,” which examines theories of rights as related to the experience of black Americans before the Civil War and during segregation.

Hawley has developed the Resource Control Theory, which seeks to explain social dominance. It is featured in most widely used textbooks on child and adolescent development.

P urnaprajna has contributed to algebraic geometry and the classification of algebraic surfaces and has been published in the top journals in the field of mathematics.

Kansan seeks to keep Obama off 2012 presidential ballot

“I’m saying that he (Obama) is going to file documents to be on the Kansas ballot. At the time, I would like the state of Kansas to be prepared,” said David Merton Shultz.

The State Objections Board rejected Shultz’s request by a 3-0 vote, with members agreeing that the petition was too early.

to recognize. Former Kansas University basketball player Brady Morningstar received 50 write-in votes for the Lawrence City Commission.

An informal online campaign sprung up for Morningstar in the days prior to the election.

A handful of online commenters on LJWorld.com had posted messages urging people to write Morningstar in for the commission. His 50 votes left him just 3,897 votes behind Hugh Carter, who won the third and final spot on the Lawrence City Commission.

Shew said his office reviewed 113 provisional ballots that were cast during the election. Provisional ballots are cast when a voter shows up at the polls, but poll workers don’t have a record of the person being registered to vote.

The provisional ballots aren’t counted on election night, but

composed of Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer. Colyer was represented at Monday’s meeting by Caleb Stegall, who is Gov. Sam Brownback’s general counsel.

None of the board members, all Republicans, made any comments about Obama’s birth. No one from Obama’s campaign attended the meeting.

In 2010, Kobach said Obama would resolve questions about his citizenship by producing a detailed birth certificate. A year before that, he joked at a GOP barbecue that Obama and God shared something in common because neither has a birth certificate.

Shultz, 63, who described himself as a movie prop engineer, said he has done hundreds of hours of research and has concluded that Obama, a Democrat, hasn’t proved he was born in this country. That would make him ineligible to be president because the U.S. Constitution says only natural born citirather are researched by Shew and his staff to determine whether the person is a registered voter.

In this election, 99 of the 113 ballots were counted. Shew said the main reason for provisional ballots was that people simply went to the wrong polling place, usually because they have moved within the county and didn’t change their voter registration information.

The main reason ballots are rejected is because a person isn’t registered at all, is registered in a different county or, as was the case with two ballots this election, the voter is dead.

Shew said this year that two people cast advanced ballots, but then died before Election Day. State law says those votes can’t be counted.

“The way the law reads,” Shew said, “you have to be alive on Election Day.” — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw

zens of the United States may be eligible for the office, he said.

Shultz questioned the validity of Obama’s certificate of live birth, and said Obama’s supporters have spent a lot of time and money to smear those who question where he was born as racists or so-called “birthers.”

State of Hawaii officials have affirmed that Obama’s original birth certificate is real and that the shorter certificate of live birth is the standard document given to any Hawaii resident who requests his or her birth certif icate. Newspapers in Hawaii also published contemporaneous birth announcements for Barack Obama in August 1961, when the president was born.

But Shultz said it was peculiar that a “mulatto baby” was born and yet no one from the hospital remembers the occasion.

“That was not a common occurrence. It would stick in someone’s mind,” he said.

Shultz said he would be back at the appropriate time to file a challenge and asked that state officials pass a law similar to one considered in Arizona in which a candidate for president would be required to show proof of citizenship to get on the ballot.

“I’m here to partner with you guys,” Shultz told members of the Objections Board.

But Stegall told him, “The task of this board is not to provide help with you coming back later.”

Kobach said Monday’s hearing was standard procedure when someone files a petition with the Objections Board.

Gov. Brownback signs ‘fetal pain' bill into law

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback has signed a bill restricting late-term abortions based on the presumption that a fetus feels pain after the 21st week.

Brownback planned a signing ceremony today on two sweeping bills restricting abortion.

He has already signed House Bill 2218, according to the Kansas Legislative Information Systems and Services website. The other bill, House Bill 2035, has yet to be signed, according to the website. That one requires parental consent for minors to have an abortion.

Opponents of abortion have praised the measures.

HB 2218, the fetal pain bill, was landmark legislation that is already law in Nebraska, according to Brownback Kansans for Life.

And HB 2035 strengthens parental involvement for pregnant minors, improves judicial bypass protocol and “acknowledges that abortion will terminate the life of a separate, whole, unique living human being,” the group said.

Abortion rights supporters have said the measures will jeopardize the health of women.

“While rare, an abortion

that takes place after 22 weeks into a pregnancy is most often necessary because of a severe fetal indication or serious medical condition that endangers the life or health of the mother,” said Peter Brownlie, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

HB 2035 would force victims of incest or domestic violence “to navigate intricate and likely biased judicial proceedings in order to circumvent the double parental consent provision included in the bill,” said Julie Burkhart, founder and executive director of Trust Women.

Group to protest Kobach talk

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

A Lawrence group will stage a peaceful protest today before Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s speech on immigration at the Lied Center.

“While we respect Kobach’s freedom to present his opinions to the university community, it is important to remind people that the policies he promotes are very harmful,” said Sean Weston, a leader with the Lawrence Action Network for Diversity and a Kansas University freshman in American Studies.

Kobach, who has helped pass anti-immigration laws and ordinances across the nation, will deliver a lecture entitled “State and local laws discouraging illegal immigra-

tion: Their economic and security impact.”

The lecture is part of the J.A. Vickers and Robert E. Vickers Sr. MemoriKobach al Lecture Series put on by the KU School of Business.

Kobach is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. The protest will take place at 6 p.m. at the Lied Center’s southeast parking lot.

Members of LAND said t h a t s t u d i e s s h ow t h a t undocumented workers are an integral part of the economy and that they are less likely to commit crimes than their citizen counterparts.

“Deporting them would cause economic disaster and family destruction — surely not Kansas values,” said Enrique Penaloza, pastor of Hispanic Ministries at Plymouth Congregational Church.

The Lawrence Action Network for Diversity was formed to help prevent an Arizona-style immigration law from being passed in Kansas. Kobach helped write that law, which requires police to question people’s immigration status while enforcing other laws if there is a reasonable suspicion they’re in the country illegally. Major parts of that law have been blocked by a federal court.

2 more charged in Walmart robbery

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Douglas County prosecutors Monday charged two women with serving as lookouts for a December armed robbery at Walmart, 3300 Iowa.

P rosecutors f iled one charge each of conspiracy to commit robbery against Jadin M. Schmutz, 20, of Lawrence, and Billie Jean Jessup, 20, of Summerdale, Ala. Schmutz was arrested Monday morning in the 1900 block of Heatherwood Drive, and Jessup, who was in jail on unrelated charges, was served a warrant in Douglas County Jail on Sunday night, according to jail records.

Prosecutors in February charged two Lawrence men, Lonnie Scott Schaefer, 22, and William Oliver Paterson, 19, with several counts in connection with the Dec. 13, 2010, armed robbery at Walmart’s money center. The men are also accused of a failed attempt at trying to set on fire the roof of McDonald’s restaurant, 1309 W. Sixth St., to try to create a diversion for the Walmart robbery.

Prosecutors said Monday that Schmutz was more than nine months pregnant and was scheduled to have labor induced Wednesday, and

Judge Pro-Tem James George agreed to set her bond at $5,000 on her own recognizance, meaning she can sign her own bond to be released from jail.

George set Jessup’s bond at $10,000, cash or surety.

Schaefer, Paterson and Jessup are scheduled to appear in court Wednesday morning. George said Schmutz could speak with her court-appointed attorney

to ask about getting her court date delayed.

Prosecutors conf irmed that another person, Andrew Dean Schmutz, 21 of Lawrence, was arrested Monday morning on a robbery warrant in the case, but he is not expected to appear in court until today.

Federal appeals court declines to lift stay on Arizona immigration law P H O E N I X — A federal appeals court on Monday refused to lift a stay blocking major parts of Arizona’s immigration law from taking effect and said the federal government is likely to be able to prove the controversial law is unconstitutional.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals turned down an appeal filed by Gov. Jan Brewer. She had asked the appeals court to lift an injunction imposed by a federal judge in Phoenix the day before the law was to take effect on July 29, 2010.

The U.S Justice Department sued to block the law, saying it violates the U.S. Constitution because enforcing immigration law is a federal issue.

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton issued an injunction preventing four major parts of the law from going into effect pending a trial. Monday’s ruling by the three-judge appeals court panel upheld that injunction.

The panel’s opinion said the government is likely to succeed in its arguments that Congress has given the federal government sole authority to enforce immigration laws, and that Arizona’s law violates the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. One judge dissented.

Brewer’s lawyers said that the federal government hasn’t effectively enforced immigration law and that the state law will assist federal authorities.

A U.S. appeals court on Monday refused to lift a stay blocking major parts of Arizona’s immigration law and said the federal government is likely to prove it unconstitutional. belief that Arizona and other states have a sovereign right and obligation to protect their citizens and enforce immigration law in accordance with federal statute,” Brewer said in a statement.

The governor’s office said Brewer, Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne and their legal team — in conjunction with counsel for the Arizona Legislature — will be considering their legal options, including appealing to a larger 9th Circuit panel or seeking an immediate petition for the U.S. Supreme Court, to lift the injunction.

The bill’s author, state Sen. Russell Pearce, issued a statement saying the appeals court ruling was “utterly predictable.”

“SB 1070 is constitutionally sound, and that will be proven when the U.S. Supreme Court takes up this

case and makes the proper ruling,” he said.

“We’re obviously pleased with the ruling, but we understand that there could be a long way to go with this litigation,” said Robby Sherwood, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney for Arizona.

Parts of the law blocked from taking effect while the case works its way through the courts include a provision requiring police to question people’s immigration status while enforcing other laws if there is a reasonable suspicion they’re in the country illegally.

Other provisions that are on hold include: requiring all immigrants to obtain or carry immigration registration papers; making it a state criminal offense for an illegal immigrant to seek work or hold a job; and allowing police to arrest suspected illegal immigrants without a warrant.

partnerships in other states and is looking forward to providing food for homebound residents in Lawrence.

“We want to get them that wholesome, quality meal that they deserve and need,” she said.

Etzel is working on the menus, but she hopes to streamline the special diets by providing everyone with a flavorful, heart-healthy meal that reduces sodium and calories. From there, she will

adjust the menus for clients who have even more specialized needs, like gluten-free or texture modified.

“We want everybody to get complete nutrition and a healthy diet,” she said.

Culliss said Lawrence Meals on Wheels and Hy-Vee are still negotiating a final contract.

thrown into supporting the Union cause,” said local historian Katie Armitage, who recalls reading one newspaper headline that noted “Lawrence aflame with Union spirit.”

Although for different reasons, excitement has returned to Lawrence as plans are under way to commemorate the Civil War’s 150th anniversary.

Over the course of the next few years, expect to see more exhibits and events that highlight the region’s connection to the Civil War. “We aren’t reading about something that happened in Virginia and Georgia. The people that founded our community and the places we walk past every day have connections to the history of our nation,” said Steve Nowak, director of Watkins Community Museum of History and the Douglas County Historical Society. “That makes it really exciting to be in western Missouri and eastern Kansas at this time.”

Many of Douglas County’s ties to the Civil War took place in the years before Fort Sumter, punctuated by skirmishes between the Missouri and Kansas border that involved shootings and sackings on both sides.

potential fillers soon will multiply.

Also during Monday’s meeting, board members said they wanted to see additional budget-cutting options beyond the $2.9 million in adjustments already suggested by administrators, a total that already includes the nearly $500,000 savings by closing Wakarusa Valley.

Among the adjustments previously suggested: ● Spend $750,000 from the district’s contingency fund, a savings account that now has nearly $6.8 million in it. Another $250,000 would come from other reserve funds. ● Plan on spending $500,000 in budget credits, which would include revenues from gym rentals, substitute services and other operations. ● Take over management of the Lawrence Diploma Completion Program, which would provide another $215,000.

MASSACHUSETTS STREET IN LAWRENCE is shown shortly before Quantrill’s Raid in August 1863.

The raid occurred midway through the Civil War, which began 150 years ago today. In the prelude to the war, the state saw so much strife that it was known as “Bleeding Kansas.” before Fort Sumter at the Battle of Black Jack, which is now a wooded grove just east of Baldwin City.

“It didn’t just start with the first shot at Fort Sumter.

There were a lot of things going on that led up to that and a lot of that happened here,” said Judy Billings, Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area executive director.

Without a doubt, Lawrence’s defining Civil War moment came in 1863 when William Quantrill raided the town, killing more than 150 men and boys.

That event will be one of the many commemorated during the next four years.

On July 2, Freedom’s Frontier will open an exhibit in the former Carnegie Library, 200 W. Ninth St., which will highlight the region’s American Indian, territorial, Civil War and civil rights history.

Annual commemorations of the area’s Civil War heritage — the Battle of Black Jack in June and Quantrill’s Raid in August — will be ramped up this year in honor of the war’s 150th anniversary.

In August, the Watkins Museum plans to open an exhibit highlighting the evolution of downtown Lawrence from a business to retail to entertainment district. The legacy of Quantrill’s

NEW MIDDLE (SCHOOL) NAMES Three down, one to go.

Monday night, members of the Lawrence school board approved new — yet familiar — names for three of the district’s junior high schools this summer: ● South Junior High will become South Middle School. ● Southwest Junior High will become Southwest Middle School. ● West Junior High will become West Middle School.

Central Junior High School’s new name won’t be decided for another couple weeks, giving the board time to study potential costs. The junior high that now occupies the building dedicated in 1923 as Liberty Memorial High School could become Central Middle School, Liberty Memorial Middle School or Central Middle School — The Liberty Memorial Building.

● Opt not to fill an open teaching position at each of the district’s two high schools, saving the district an estimated $106,413. ● Boost bulk purchasing operations, saving $100,000.

this puzzle,” Bradford said.

That would cost another $109,000, and board members also said they wanted to remain mindful of other possible increases in expenses.

The Lawrence Education Association, for example, is pushing for salary increases that would equal $1.389 million overall.

“That could have a huge impact,” said Marlene Merrill, a board member leaving office in July. “Maybe I’m just worrying, but it’s a number that we have to think about.”

Raid will be prominently featured in that display.

In the fall or next spring, the museum is also looking at bringing in scholars for a speaking series that will explore the Civil War, Nowak said.

And, discussions have already begun on how to best commemorate the 150th anniversary of Quantrill’s Raid in 2013.

Both Nowak and Billings said more events are likely.

“There are new things popping up all the time,” Billings said.

The Classic Jayhawk sculpture, which has become a fixture outside the Kansas Union, is getting some needed repairs after it was knocked off its perch early Saturday morning.

The popular sculpture is expected to be back in its place in time for Kansas University graduates to take photos with it on commencement weekend, KU spokeswoman Jill Jess said Monday.

KU Public Safety officers took the Jayhawk into custody before 2 a.m. Saturday. Officers were called to the Union after two women dressed in black were seen near the sculpture.

Police said the two suspects told officers they were taking a picture with the Jayhawk when they climbed on it and it fell over. While interviewing the two suspects, officers also received reports that three when were attempting to walk away with the sculpture, but officers recovered the Jayhawk and took it to the public safety office.

KU’s campuswide commencement ceremony is May 22.

31st annual benefit art auction, beating last year’s total by more than $30,000. Combining art purchases, donations, a W.T. Kemper Foundation challenge grant, ticket purchases and a sponsorship, the event raised more than $150,000.

Last year, buyers paid about $70,000 for art, and the benefit raised about $95,000 total.

Buyers last year paid 84 percent of the artists’ listed retail price, but this year buyers paid 92 percent. Executive director Susan Tate said that it was a significant jump and a positive outcome in a show that had fewer pieces than previous years.

“It’s a good indicator of how enthusiastically people are purchasing art,” Tate said.

More than 130 artists donated more than 140 pieces for the auction, which Tate said was one of the highest-grossing of recent auctions.

said that he would look to find at least $1.5 million in potential savings and cuts for board members to consider during an upcoming meeting.

Rick Doll, district superintendent, said that the list likely would include “looking at the ratio,” which means the number of students per teacher. Last year, the board voted to increase the average class size in the district by one student, generating a savings of about $1 million because of the decreased need for teachers.

Scott Morgan, another board member leaving office in July, had been the lone board member earlier in the meeting to vote against adding full-day kindergarten at Broken Arrow and Sunflower.

It’s not that he disagrees with the value of the program.

Instead, he’s just not sure how it would measure up when considered alongside other potential cuts in the weeks ahead.

“It seems like it should be part of the mix,” Morgan said.

TEXAS

Crews battle wildfires amid drought

By Betsy Blaney Associated Press Writer

LUBBOCK, TEXAS — Firefighters battled Monday to contain several large blazes that have burned hundreds of square miles of rural Texas and destroyed dozens of homes since last week, getting reinforcements from out of state as they struggled against some of the worst wildfire conditions in state history.

One firefighter was in critical condition at a Lubbock hospital with severe burns suffered while fighting a Panhandle wildfire, officials said.

Powerful winds that sent walls of flame through parched ranchland in and around the West Texas communities of Fort Davis and Midland, incinerating more than 60 homes during the weekend and killing livestock and horses, took pity by directing the fires to largely unpopulated open spaces north and east of the cities.

An overnight thunderstorm — a rare occurrence of late, with the state coming off its driest March since 1895 — gave crews the break they needed to begin containing a wildfire that had scorched about 110 square miles of rolling prairies about 175 miles west of Fort Worth.

All of Texas is experiencing drought, and conditions are classified as extreme or exceptional in 60 percent of the state, according to the most recent U.S. Drought Monitor map.

A LARGE PLUME OF SMOKE is seen where the fire began 2 miles west of Marfa, Texas, in this April 9 photo. The fire danger remains high in West Texas where firefighters are battling a blaze that’s destroyed dozens of homes in two communities, and crews are trying to contain fires elsewhere in the state.

Rain from last summer’s Hurricane Alex led to particularly lush vegetation growth, said Mark Stanford, the operations director for the Texas Forest Service. A cold winter and the drought killed off much of that growth, and with fewer cattle grazing on Texas pasturelands, the dried remains have provided a perfect fuel for wildfires to consume, he said.

Thus far this year, the Forest Service and fire departments have responded to 654 fires that have burned 916 square miles of land and destroyed 189 homes.

That’s a far cry from March 2006 — when wildf ires burned more than 3,000 square miles, destroyed 413 homes and killed 12 people in the deadliest wildfire month in state history. But Stanford said current wildfire conditions are even worse than five years ago.

“We’re in new territory because it’s drier than it has been for ‘06, ‘08 and ‘09, but there is more fuel to burn,” Stanford said.

The parched conditions are expected to last for several days, at least, but the 3040 mph winds that have been fueling the western blazes are expected to drop into the teens and low 20s, he said.

“And that makes a huge difference,” Stanford said.

It’ll be too late for those who watched the terrifying, fast-moving f ires sweep through their West Texas communities on Saturday and Sunday.

“It was unbelievable, just horrific. There were horses on fire, buildings on fire, houses on fire,” said Bob Dillard, a former Jeff Davis county judge and editor of the weekly Jeff Davis County Mountain Dispatch.

IVORY COAST

Standoff ends with former president’s capture FORMER IVORIAN PRESIDENT Laurent Gbagbo, center, and his wife Simone, are seen in the custody of republican forces loyal to election winner Alassane Ouattara at the Golf Hotel in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, on Monday.

By Marco Chown Oved Associated Press Writer

ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST — The elected president of this West African nation heralded “the dawn of a new era of hope” Monday when a bloody, fourmonth standoff ended with the capture of his rival, the longtime strongman who lost the vote but refused to give up power.

Video of former President Laurent Gbagbo being led into a room in a white undershirt was broadcast on television as proof of his detention.

He would not sign a statement formally ceding power after losing a Nov. 28 election to economist Alassane Ouattara.

More than 1 million civilians fled their homes and untold numbers were killed in the power struggle between the two rivals that threatened to reignite a civil war in the world’s largest cocoa producer. Gbagbo’s security forces have been accused of using cannons, 60 mm mortars and 50-caliber machine guns to mow down opponents during the standoff.

“After more than four months of post-electoral crisis, marked by so many human lives lost, we are finally at the dawn of a new era of hope,” Ouattara said in an address to the nation on radio and television.

Ouattara cut short speculation that Gbagbo would be delivered to the International Criminal Court at The Hague, calling for an Ivorian

investigation into the former president, his wife and their entourage.

“Every measure has been taken to assure the physical integrity of Mr. Laurent Gbagbo, his wife and all those arrested,” he said. “They will receive dignified treatment and their rights will be respected.”

Ouattara also said he intended to establish a truth and reconciliation commission and called on all fighters to put down their arms.

President Barack Obama welcomed Gbagbo’s capture, calling it a victory for the democratic will of the Ivorian people, who “have the chance to begin to reclaim their country, solidify their democracy and rebuild a vibrant economy.”

Gbagbo, who ruled the

former French colony for a decade, was pulled from his burning residence by Ouatta ra ’s t ro o p s fo l l ow i n g fighting earlier in the day.

The pro-Ouattara forces had received support by French tanks and helicopters.

Residents of the commercial capital of Abidjan refrained from celebrating in public, still fearful of the many armed fighters prowling the streets and refusing to believe their leader had been arrested. Sporadic gunfire echoed across the city Monday night.

Gbagbo, 65, could be forced to answer for his soldiers’ crimes, even though an international trial threatens to stoke the divisions that Ouattara will now have to heal as president.

Gbagbo’s dramatic arrest came after days of heavy fighting in which French and U.N. helicopters fired rockets at arms depots around the city and targets within the presidential compound. Ouattara’s final push began just after French airstrikes ceased at around 3 a.m. Monday. A simultaneous French armored advance secured large parts of the city, and pro-Ouattara troops entered the presidential compound just after midday.

“We attacked and forced in a part of the bunker,” Issard Soumahro, a pro-Ouattara fighter at the scene, told The Associated Press.

He added that Gbagbo was tired and had been slapped by a soldier, but was not otherwise hurt.

Study shows judges more lenient after breaks for food WASHINGTON (AP) — If you have to face a judge, try for first thing in the morning or right after lunch. A new study suggests that’s when they’re most lenient.

Seeking to test the idea that justice depends on “what the judge ate for breakfast,” researchers studied 1,112 rulings by Israeli judges who were presiding over boards deciding whether to grant parole to prisoners.

“We find that the likelihood of a favorable ruling is greater at the very beginning of the work day or after a food break than later in the sequence of cases,” the researchers report in today’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

They found that at the beginning of a court session about 65 percent of the rulings tended to be in favor of the prisoner, but the chance of a favorable ruling declined to near zero by the end of the session. After a break for a meal, favorable rulings for the prisoners jumped back up to about 65 percent, and then began declining again.

And the pattern held true for each of the eight judges observed over 50 days, they noted.

Obama’s debt-cutting plan to focus on reducing deficit in long term

By Jim Kuhnhenn

(IF YOUR MOM WAS AN ITALIAN-TRAINED CHEF FROM SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA)

“

What I’m saying is that we support a clean piece of legislation to raise the debt ceiling. ... We cannot — President play chicken with the economy in this way.”

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON Barack Obama, plunging into the rancorous struggle over America’s mountainous debt, will draw sharp differences with Republicans on Wednesday about how to conquer trillions of dollars in spending while somehow working out a compromise to raise some taxes and trim a cherished program like Medicare.

Obama’s speech will set a new long-term deficit-reduction goal and establish a dramatically different vision from a major Republican proposal that aims to cut more than $5 trillion over the next decade, officials said Monday.

Details of Obama’s plan are being closely held so far, but the def icit-cutting target probably will fall between the $1.1 trillion he proposed in his 2012 budget proposal and the $4 trillion that a fiscal commission he appointed recommended in December.

The speech is intended as a declaration of Obama’s commitment to seriously tame the deficit while outlining his long-term budget principles — key components of his campaign for re-election in 2012. After gingerly avoiding any discussion until now of cuts in the government’s massive benefit programs for the elderly and poor, Obama will acknowledge a need to reduce spending on Medicare and Medicaid while at the same time tackling defense spending and calling for increased taxes on the wealthy, White House officials said.

If that sounds like a reprise of last week’s budget fight that barely avoided a government shutdown, it isn’t. The stakes are far higher, the political risks greater and the goals more ambitious. At issue are long-term budget deficits and

— White House spokesman Jay Carney a $14.3 trillion national debt that many say could threaten the nation’s economy.

The cuts accomplished last week were for $38.5 billion over the next six months; the cuts envisioned now are for trillions of dollars over the next 10 years.

Obama’s speech, to be delivered at George Washington University, comes as Congress readies for a fierce fight over raising the nation’s debt limit. Republicans have vowed to use that vote as leverage to extract greater budget discipline from the Democrats and the president.

Setting the terms of the debate and the likely brinkmanship to follow, White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Monday: “What I’m saying is that we support a clean piece of legislation to raise the debt ceiling. ... We cannot play chicken with the economy in this way.”

The president’s speech also comes amid liberal apprehension over recent Obama spending concessions and a desire among some Democrats to make proposed GOP cuts in Medicare a 2012 election issue.

House Republicans, led by the chairman of the House Budget Committee, Paul Ryan, last week unveiled a plan that would cut $5.8 trillion over 10 years with a major restructuring of the nation’s signature health care programs for the elderly and the poor. Meanwhile, six senators have formed a bipartisan group to work on their own plan to rein in long-term deficits by making changes to Medicare and Medicaid and examining a fundamental

University said in a telephone interview. “If you’re a social scientist it gets you excited. But, as an ordinary citizen, you don’t want to find this.”

When people are making a lot of decisions in a row, they look for ways to simplify the process when they get mentally tired, he said, and the easiest thing is to maintain the status quo — that is, leave the prisoner in jail.

The researchers found the rulings didn’t tend to be affected by the severity of the crime, the prison time served or the prisoner’s gender or ethnicity. Prisoners in rehabilitation programs were more likely to get parole, and those who were repeat offenders were less likely.

Each judge took two breaks. One at mid-morning beginning as early as 9:45 a.m. or as late as 10:30 a.m., and a lunch break that began between 12:45 p.m. and 2:10 p.m.

Levav, a professor of business, said the study was part of research on the process of sequential decision-making.

His co-authors are from Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel.

The researchers said they suspect people would also seek ways to simplify matters when facing a series of decisions in legislative, medical, financial and other situations.

Obama is expected to concede a need for overhauling Medicare and Medicaid and to even make adjustments to Social Security, always considered politically risky territory. But he will distinguish his plan from the Republican budget, which would shrink Medicare by shifting the program to private insurers and send block grants to states to pay for Medicaid, the health care program for the poor.

Unlike the Republican plan, Obama is also expected to call for cuts in defense spending and for tax hikes, repeating his 2012 budget plan to increase Bush era tax rates for families making more than $250,000. Obama shelved that plan in a budget compromise with Republicans.

The Republican plan, on the other hand, would make the Bush-era tax cuts permanent.

Coordinated effort Downtown retailers should band together to give evening shopping hours a serious try.

T

here is no magic solution for struggling retailers in downtown Lawrence, but there may be some steps worth trying.

In discussing the impending closure of The Bay Leaf, a longtime downtown draw, owner Geri Riekhof decried the negative impact that Internet commerce has on local brick-andmortar businesses. It may be hard to attack that issue directly, but Riekhof also raised another concern that would be easier for downtown merchants to address.

She said that downtown businesses needed to do a better job of working together. Specifically, she noted the lack of agreement among retailers on keeping their stores open into the evening hours to help compete with retailers in other parts of the city. Riekhof said she would have liked to keep The Bay Leaf open later throughout the year but was especially disappointed at the unwillingness of downtown merchants to extend their hours during the holiday season.

Casual observation, along with a quick check of downtown retailers on LJWorld.com’s Marketplace listings, reveals a hodgepodge of business hours for downtown retailers. Some never stay open beyond 5:30 p.m., while others are open until 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. most nights. Some stores are open later on weekends, and some follow the long-standing Lawrence tradition of staying open until 8 or 8:30 only on Thursday nights.

All of the stores surely have a rationale for the hours they keep. They at least think they know when customers will and won’t patronize their businesses. They’ve looked at the costs of keeping their stores open and created what seems like a reasonable plan for their individual business.

What hasn’t been tried in a long time, however, is a coordinated, prolonged effort to establish what Riekhof called a “critical mass” of downtown stores that are open during standardized evening hours. At one time, downtown Lawrence businesses at least coordinated and advertised extended hours during the Christmas shopping season, but that effort also has fallen by the wayside.

The only way to see whether evening hours would have a significant benefit for downtown retail businesses is for most stores to commit to extended hours for an extended period — maybe a year — to allow downtown visitors to become familiar with the new hours and make their plans accordingly. It’s easy to imagine that people who come downtown to eat or participate in other entertainment events might also take a few minutes to browse or buy in a retail store. It might even work the other way around if people knew that most downtown stores would be open during evening hours.

Coordination also is an issue in other areas that affect downtown. Downtown Lawrence Inc. is in a good position to help coordinate a variety of marketing and entertainment efforts but it can only do that if its membership represents a broad spectrum — that “critical mass” — of downtown businesses who are willing to work together to promote the district as a whole.

The individuality of the locally owned businesses in downtown Lawrence certainly is part of their charm, but the survival of some of those businesses, and the downtown retail scene, might depend on their ability to work together on hours, events, marketing and other issues.

Exit from Afghanistan poses challenge Most analysts — of all political persuasions — have concluded the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan isn’t working and costs too much to be sustained much longer. Yet no one has produced a formula for a speedy exit that doesn’t risk chaos — or worse.

This leaves us stuck. President Obama has pledged to start pulling U.S. troops out of Afghanistan this summer, with an eye toward withdrawing most forces by 2014. But, in talks with U.S. and Afghan leaders and experts, I’ve yet to hear an exit plan that doesn’t risk returning Afghanistan to civil war and/or Taliban domination, while further destabilizing nuclear-armed Pakistan next door.

So I turned with interest to a much-touted book by military analyst Bing West with a promising title: “The Wrong War: Grit, Strategy, and the Way Out of Afghanistan.”

West is a Marine combat veteran who served as assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan administration. Unlike so many armchair military pundits, this 70year-old embedded with dozens of frontline U.S. units in southern and eastern Afghanistan, humping up mountains and enduring firefights and dysentery. He writes in gripping prose about the heroic, but often thwarted, efforts of U.S. soldiers.

West says he believes our counterinsurgency strategy is failing, even though a surge of U.S. troops has pushed the Taliban back from its southern heartland, and U.S. Special Forces have shredded its midlevel command structure.

The problem is political: Our troops can clear the Taliban, but

Trudy Rubin trubin@phillynews.com

Obama will have to “decide soon between

these bad choices: leave most combat troops for another year, buying more time to weaken (or bargain with) the Taliban; or pull them sooner and pray that the Afghans can manage.”

the Afghan forces we’re training can’t hold the terrain, and President Hamid Karzai’s corrupt government can’t (or won’t) build up the country.

In a phone interview, West said: “When you put more Americans in there, there is progress. But what difference (will) it make when the Americans aren’t there?”

As for a solution, however, West offers only three pages at the end of a 300-page volume, confirming that it’s easier to describe the problem than come up with a comprehensive answer.

His plan in a nutshell: Cut back on expensive efforts to build up Afghanistan’s economic and democratic institutions. Focus mainly on building Afghan security forces. Remove half our 100,000

troops, and transition most of the rest into a tough adviser corps that embeds with and trains the Afghan army, backed by a large U.S. air presence. Then let the Afghans do their own fighting against the Taliban.

Of course, the Afghan army’s high illiteracy and attrition rates have undercut previous U.S. training efforts. Moreover, the army includes few ethnic Pashtuns from the south — the stronghold of the Pashtun Taliban — which gives it little credibility there.

West says he believes the Afghan army can still be shaped up, pointing to the 2010 battle for Marja, where U.S. Special Forces and a Marine support team embedded with an Afghan battalion and helped that unit fight well.

However, he says, to replicate this success story would require a dedicated U.S. Army and Marine adviser corps that pulled “the best officers from conventional battalions.”Do we really believe the Afghan army could achieve this level? Gen. David Petraeus has long argued it will find its legs only after the security situation is more stable, contending that if we leave too soon it might crumble altogether.

West concedes that, as U.S. combat troops exit, larger sections of the countryside are likely to fall under Taliban control. This is already happening in Nuristan and Kunar provinces where U.S. outposts have been shut down.

He says Kabul, and other large cities, wouldn’t fall to the Taliban: If the jihadis massed for attack, they could be stopped by U.S. airpower. I wonder how supply lines to the cities would be maintained if the Taliban con-

trolled the outlying areas. Unless there is some kind of political deal with the Taliban, this scenario does not seem real.

Indeed, Karzai and U.S. officials now say there are preliminary talks with the Taliban about negotiations. But West dismisses the current prospects for such talks (for reasons I agree with).

“Negotiations ratify strength on the battlefield, not the other way around,” he writes. “Under current circumstances, negotiations do not offer ... a safe way out of Afghanistan.”

So the Bing West formula is basically a gamble: that we can shape up the Afghan army, against all odds, even as our combat troops head for the exit.

“Maybe I’m expressing a hope, not a reality,” says West bluntly.

“Until we give it a test, we don’t know. That’s why our military is resisting testing this.”

His formula doesn’t differ that much from what I’m hearing from administration sources, who want Afghan troops to take on more responsibility soonest and hope talks with the Taliban will splinter its leadership and persuade some of them to make deals.

Obama will have to decide soon between these bad choices: leave most combat troops for another year, buying more time to weaken (or bargain with) the Taliban; or pull them sooner and pray that the Afghans can manage.

Neither choice looks promising. Like everyone else, I’m still looking for the magic option that doesn’t risk a Taliban takeover and a new civil war.

A veteran U.S. Supreme Court justice had spoken to more than 500 YEARS people in the AGO Kansas Union’s IN 1986 Woodruff Auditorium recently. Associate Justice William J. Brennan Jr., a 30-year member of the court, urged lawyers and students of law to concentrate less on “making lots of money” and more on expanding individual freedom and other “sacred aspects” of the legal profession.

Recalling Depression lessons ARCHGOLD, OHIO — Here in Middle America, where farmland extends to the horizon, I pass an inspirational yard sign: “Self-Control: Having a Life Purpose Bigger Than Self.”

It’s a message our representatives in Washington would do well to learn, especially after months of raucous partisan bickering that nearly culminated in another “government shutdown.”

Here in Archbold, farmers still labor to produce crops from the soil. In Washington, liberal politicians and lobbyists labor to produce careers for themselves and pry more “entitlements” from overburdened taxpayers to give to people who in some cases have not earned them. People have been taught envy and entitlement in ways that would have shocked and angered our relatives who survived the Great Depression on far less.

A simple web search finds numerous Depression-era survival stories, which puts into perspective for those living now the concept of living through “hard times.”

In a 2009 story in the Saginaw News, writer Sarah Nothelfer quoted 79-year-old Jean R. Beach, who compared the 1930s with today: “To me, as a country, we’ve been on a binge. Now comes the time to put things in order.”

Carrie Iles, 87, said: “I have good memories of those days. We didn’t have it good, but we always had enough.” Imagine, good memories of the Depression and thankfulness for having enough.

In 2011, too many Americans complain, not because they don’t have what they truly need, but

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

because they don’t have what they want, and worse, what they feel “entitled to.” Too many suffer from an addiction to government checks.

As Stephen Moore wrote last week in The Wall Street Journal, “there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government.” And, “Every state in America today except for two — Indiana and Wisconsin — has more government workers on the payroll than people manufacturing industrial goods.”

As the party of government, Democrats have a special interest in increasing individual reliance on the state because it keeps them in power. Among the many problems with that position is that at some point, consumers of other people’s wealth become a majority. In order to sustain what those non-producers expect, government must borrow increasing amounts of money until we arrive at where we are today — unable to

pay our bills and dependent on foreign governments, chiefly China, because no one wants to say “no” to what anyone wants.

What to do? Instead of demanding ever more from government, we must reclaim those basic virtues from The Greatest Generation and begin to do more for ourselves. That means younger people must take charge of their own retirement. It also means more people must stop worrying about health care and begin to focus on staying well. The healthier we are, the less we will need doctors, hospitals and medicine.

We can’t go on as we have been.

The theater that passes for reasoned debate in Washington is nothing more than rhetoric that has been tested before focus groups for political gain. Too many politicians are telling their constituents, not necessarily what they believe, but what they think they want to hear. And this is why little gets done in Washington and why we are losing our liberty.

Democrats hauled out their familiar playbook about starving grannies and women who would supposedly be denied treatment for breast cancer if the government had shut down. This time it didn’t work.

It was clear Republicans won round one of the budget battle when Obama adviser David Plouffe said on “Meet the Press” last Sunday that the president would seek new cuts, even in Medicare and Medicaid. Can they keep up the momentum?

— Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Media Services.

Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of Kansas University, sounded YEARS guardedly optiAGO mistic about the IN 1971 impact upon KU of the budget worked out by the 1971 legislature. “It won’t be fun, but we’ll get by,” Nichols said of the university’s funding. Lawmakers had decided to put back about $130,000 into the budget, which brought KU’s bankroll back up to approximately the same level of funding for the previous year.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 12, 1911: YEARS "Another colAGO lege romance, fosIN 1911 tered on the shady campus paths of Mt. Oread and the pilgrimage to the old wind-mill, has ended in tears and the divorce court. In Kansas City yesterday a divorce was granted to Mrs. Darlene Newby, daughter of Floyd E. Doubleday, manager of the mining department of the Central Coal and Coke Co. She was also awarded the custody of one year old Elizabeth. Mrs. Newby was a very popular student of Kansas University along in 1903 and 1904.

While she was there she became acquainted with Oscar L. Newby, who had a shoe store in Lawrence. … They were married here September 30, 1907.”

K-State to open Olathe campus soon OLATHE (AP) — Kansas State plans to open its new campus in Olathe later this month.

The university announced in a news release Monday that a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house will be held on April 26.

The campus will offer master’s and doctorate degrees in the biosciences and biotechnology, including animal health, food safety and related areas.

It also offer professional development courses for employees of Olathe-area companies.

The campus’ first building is the $28 million International Animal Health and Food Safety Institute. It was financed in part by a one-eighth cent sales tax approved by Johnson County voters in November 2008.

The K-State Olathe campus is located just east of Kansas Highway 7 on College Boulevard.

Whatever it is, the band has connected with a sizable audience, which makes their appearance at the Bottleneck an intriguing one given the intimate nature of the venue.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

A family affair

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Safeties showing promise Those of us who spend much of our springs daydreaming about what the Kansas University football team might look like in the fall tend to consider safety among the more surething positions on a roster loaded with maybes.

That says a lot about two things: First, sophomore-to-be Keeston Terry and rising junior Bradley McDougald have serious potential. Second, this really is a young football team.

Between them, Terry and McDougald have less than a full season of game experience at safety. McDougald played wide receiver as a freshman and appeared some at safety in the second half of the season. As a sophomore, until switching to defense for the final two games, he was a wide receiver. Terry arrived at camp as a receiver and switched to safety before the season. He stood out as a true freshman the first two games and in the third suffered a season-ending leg injury.

Terry loves to hit and has the speed to become excellent in coverage. McDougald enjoys trying to deny the catches he used to make and gets a charge out of interceptions. He has the size to develop into a heavy hitter.

After Monday’s spring practice, coach Turner Gill explained what he likes about his safeties.

“They’re playing fast,” he said. “They’re getting from Point A to Point B very well.

Then they’re showing they’re physical too. They’re coming up and showing they’re able to make some hits on the run, and they’re also showing they can cover man-to-man.”

Terry, from Blue Springs, Mo., and McDougald, from Dublin, Ohio, have made strong impressions on their position coach as well.

“Both are very good athletes,” said safeties coach Robert Wimberly, who also praised hard-hitting Lubbock Smith. “They both can run very well, both can change directions, they both have very good ball skills, and so far in practice they’ve shown a willingness to be physical.”

McDougald and Terry also bring smarts to the field.

“To be a safety in our scheme, you’re going to have to have a pretty good IQ ,” Wimberly said. “We ask a lot of our safeties as far as making the coverage calls and making the adjustments for different formations and different things that we have set up within our defensive scheme, so you’ve got to be a low-rep guy. Fortunately, those two guys pick things up very easily.”

Different big plays fuel the two talented athletes.

“I think there’s more of an adrenaline rush when you make that big hit than when you make an interception,” Terry said.

“When you make a big hit, everyone gets hyped.”

McDougald interrupted: “I don’t know about that one, Keeston. I just don’t know. ... I don’t think there is a bigger (adrenaline rush) than an interception.”

Over the next two seasons, McDougald and Terry have a chance to make a big plays of both varieties teaming with talented cornerbacks Tyler Patmon and Greg Brown.

Selby, Taylor hot topics at season-ending banquet

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tyshawn Taylor, who arrived at the Holidome with a bulky, black splint on his right hand, and Josh Selby, who didn’t show up at all, provided two of the hottest topics of dinner conversation at Monday night’s Kansas University basketball banquet.

Taylor, KU’s junior point guard from Hoboken, N.J., had surgery on Friday to repair torn ligaments in the index finger on his shooting hand. It’s an injury that has plagued him off and on since high school.

He’ll be able to resume pick-up basketball in late May or early June.

Selby, KU’s freshman combo guard from Baltimore, remains in Las Vegas working out at Impact

Basketball as he decides whether to enter the NBA Draft or return for his sophomore season. Various NBA analysts have said he’s learning toward playing for pay next season.

“Josh is getting information through workout people in Las Vegas, trying to get some good feedback. We’ll have an answer the next day or two,” KU coach Bill Self said, indicating he Selby was not upset at Selby for missing the proceedings.

“I talked to Maeshon (mom) today. That decision is coming real soon,” Self added. “He has done the

work he needs to academically to pass his classes, but he’s been gone six days. If he’s going to come back, he’ll be coming back real soon. If not, he won’t. Certainly he will salvage this semester academically and pass his classes, which is good.”

Taylor seemed relieved to have had surgery on a f inger that, according to Self, “dislocated almost every day (second half of season).”

Taylor “My ligaments were all torn up. I mean, it was jammed. It got to the point it wouldn’t jam any more. Every time I got hit, it’d pop out,” Taylor said,

noting “once I realized my ligaments were torn, it was midway through the season. With six to eight weeks (of) rehab, it was too late to do anything about it. They cut me open (Friday). They tied some stuff together to make it stronger.”

He didn’t make excuses during the season, but now that he looks back, “I couldn’t shoot with my fingertips,” Taylor said. “I was using my palm a lot. I got my stroke down toward the end, but I changed my shot a lot. It didn’t affect how I dribbled, catching the ball or playing defense, but it was uncomfortable playing with my fingers taped all year.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Webb, Mecham locked in QB battle ... again

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS QUARTERBACK JORDAN WEBB looks over his receivers as he runs through plays with the offense on Monday at the KU practice fields.

For the second straight spring, Kansas University quarterbacks Quinn Mecham and Jordan Webb find themselves battling for the starting job.

The day-to-day football activities may seem the same, but what’s happening inside their heads is anything but what they encountered in 2010.

Last year, both players were new to such a role, Mecham as a transfer from Snow College in Utah and Webb coming off his red-shirt season.

In addition, both were asked to compete for the job while learning a new offense at the same time.

“Honestly, it feels totally different this year,” Webb said.

“Everything’s running so much more smooth this year. We’re not putting in a whole new offense, obviously that helps, but I think getting to know the guys better

many as six guys taking reps under center. This year, it’s down to three, with Mecham and Webb leading the way and red-shirt freshman Blake Jablonski getting in on the action as well.

For Webb, growth and development in the mental aspects of the game this offseason have made him more comfortable during spring drills.

“Maturity,” said Webb, asked what area he’s most different in this season. “I know what the coaches want out of me, I know how to play to my strengths better, and I think I’m doing that a lot more.”

For Mecham, physical changes to his body have made him a KANSAS QUARTERBACK QUINN more relaxed player.

MECHAM ROLLS OUT to pass during “I’m definitely a lot stronger spring practice Monday. than I was,” Mecham said. “I know I’m not faster, but I am and everything like that’s help- stronger, and I think I’m just more comfortable with the plays ing a lot.”

So is the lack of bodies at the and the playbook.”

Giants, Dodgers ask fans to cool it S A N F R A N C I S C O ( AP ) — Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt and Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Jamey Carroll came together for a joint message on behalf of their teams: This rivalry must stay on the field, without violence and hatred.

Players from both clubs gathered on the pitcher’s mound Monday night before their series open-

er at AT&T Park to make clear there should be no repeat of the events following their season opener March 31 in which longtime Giants fan Bryan Stow was assaulted outside Dodger Stadium and left in a medically induced coma.

With heightened security at the waterfront ballpark, the teams took the field for a game dedicat-

ed to the 42-year-old Stow, a paramedic from nearby Santa Cruz and father of two.

“There’s no room in this game for hatred and violence. It is about respect,” Carroll told the sellout crowd, which applauded his remarks. “This is America’s national pastime, and let’s keep it that way.”

A photo of Stow showed on the

main center-f ield scoreboard along with his two children as both teams removed their caps in a quiet moment of reflection.

San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy hoped that gesture would provide a positive sign to fans about sportsmanship.

“We’re playing each other and we’re competitive and rivals but let’s leave it at that,” Bochy said.

Musical chair losers, winners

KSU’s Martin hasn’t talked to Miami — yet

By Mark Story McClatchy Newspapers

For a college basketball fan, Selection Sunday is Christmas Eve. The Thursday and Friday of the first week of the NCAA Tournament are (usually) the two best basketball game days of each year.

Yet for multi-million-dollar deal making and back-stage intrigue, nothing beats the postseason coaching carousel. With most of the major coaching vacancies now filled, here are my winners and losers from the annual college hoops musical chairs.

Winner: Billy Gillispie. Due to the idiosyncrasies of his contrarian personality, I believe that to succeed the ex-Kentucky head man needs to be in Texas and needs to work at a university where the football coach is the public-relations face of the school. With the polished Tommy Tuberville coaching the pigskin in Lubbock, Texas Tech supplies Billy G. with both.

Loser: Grumpy Old Men. Both Bob Knight, 70, and Larry Brown, 70, are rumored to have made overtures into the UNLV job after Lon Kruger gave it up to move to Oklahoma. Instead, the Runnin’ Rebels went with 42-year-old BYU assistant (and former UNLV player) Dave Rice.

Winner: Tennessee. Given the NCAA infractions mess that Bruce Pearl left behind in Knoxville, it’s a minor miracle that embattled UT AD Mike Hamilton was able to land a solid, up-and-coming coach the caliber of Cuonzo Martin.

Loser: Cuonzo Martin. Had the former Purdue forward and Missouri State head coach put the Volunteers off for a couple of days, he probably would have been Mike Anderson’s replacement as head man at the University of Missouri. Unlike Tennessee, Mizzou has both an NCAA Tournament-ready roster in place for next season and no impending NCAA probation for a coach to survive.

Winner: Matt Painter. The Purdue head coach turned a flirtation with Missouri into a cool $1 million a year (from $1.3 to $2.3 million) raise.

Loser: Missouri. While making googly eyes with Painter, the Tigers lost out on their second choice (Martin) and wound up going with the unexceptional Frank Haith — whose seven years leading Miami yielded a 43-69 ACC record and a whopping one NCAA Tournament appearance.

Winner: North Carolina State. After whiffing on luring a big-name (Rick Barnes of Texas) and the hot up-andcomer (VCU’s Shaka Smart), the perception is that NC State “settled” by tabbing former Alabama and Murray State head man Mark Gottfried.

If so, the Wolfpack got lucky. Gottfried won an SEC overall title (2002) with the Crimson Tide and went to five consecutive NCAA tournaments (2001-02 through 05-06), including one elite eight (2004).

True, Alabama went stale (49-35 in his final three seasons) at the end of Gottfried’s tenure, but the 47-year-old has both enough ego and feistiness to go to Tobacco Road and battle Coach K and Cryin’ Roy. Loser: North Carolina State AD Debbie Yow. Maybe Gary Williams was sabotaging the N.C. State search being run by Yow, his former boss, by spreading word that the ex-Maryland AD is a “difficult” person for whom to work. However, by publicly making that allegation against Williams without supplying any proof, she diminished herself more than Williams.

Winner: Arkansas. I think Mike Anderson is a good, not great, coach, but he was the must-get hire for the Razorbacks. In bringing the former, long-time Nolan Richardson assistant back to Fayetteville, the Hogs have reconnected with the greatest era of their history and have a coach who will reinstall the 40-minutes-of-hell style that was once the Arkansas calling card.

Loser: Georgia Tech. Brian Gregory did a solid job at Dayton, but in his eight years he didn’t exactly make the Flyers (two NCAA Tourney trips, the 2010 NIT championship) into Butler. Even allowing for the drain caused by the $7 million Tech had to pay excoach Paul Hewitt to go away, the Rambling Wreck should have been able to do better.

MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. — Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis says he’ll run again — for New Jersey Senate.

The 49-year-old Willingboro, N.J., native announced his bid Monday.

Lewis won nine Olympic gold medals and is considered among the best track and field athletes of all time.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Emporia State taps Vandiver

BASEBALL Bonds jury still deliberating

EMPORIA — Emporia State University has hired Boise State assistant Shaun Vandiver as its new men’s basketball coach.

The university said in a news release that Vandiver would be introduced at a news conference Monday afternoon.

Vandiver will replace former coach David Moe, who resigned last month. Vandiver, who was in his first year as an assistant coach at Boise State, also has coached at Wyoming, Bowling Green and Northern Colorado.

He began his college playing career at Hutchinson Community College then played at the University of Colorado from 1988 to 1991. He was newcomer of the year in his first season and All-Big Eight first-team in 1990 and 1991.

SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds is going to have a longer wait for his verdict.

The jury considering four felony counts against the home run king deliberated without a conclusion for the second day Monday. The eight women and four men, who started their discussions Friday before a weekend break, will resume work this morning.

WACO, TEXAS — Baylor freshman standout Perry Jones is staying in school.

Long expected to be the Bears’ first oneand-done player, Jones instead Monday said he was returning to Baylor for his sophomore season, even though he will have to sit out the first five games. He likely would have been one of the top picks in the NBA Draft this summer.

“I really believe that I can grow as a player and as a person if I stay one more year at Baylor University. This is a pretty tough decision,” said Jones, joined by his parents for the announcement. “It was hard. I mean you see (NBA draft hype) and that is your dream all of your life. You see you can go number one. I mean, it is in the back of my mind, but I know that this is the right choice.”

SEABURY ACADEMY

MANHATTAN — Florida native Frank Martin says he hasn’t heard from the University of Miami about its vacant coaching position, and though he and his family are happy at Kansas State, he will always listen to other offers.

The 2010 Big 12 coach of the year, who has become wildly popular with Kansas State fans, also said Monday in an interview with the Associated Press that in the last two years he has been approached by several other schools with talk of significant pay boosts.

“I’ve never had any other options but to be at K-State this year. And I haven’t had any desire but to be at K-State this year,” Martin said.

When Frank Haith left Miami last week to take the job at Missouri, Martin immediately became the center of speculation in both Kansas and Miami. Martin, born and raised in Miami and the son of a Cuban immigrant, was a successful high school coach there and seemed a natural fit for the job.

But the Hurricanes have not called, Martin said. He said that was not necessarily a disappointment.

“I love it here,” said Martin, who is 95-43 in four seasons at Kansas State. “My family loves it here.”

He wonders if a misunderstanding about his salary might have discouraged the Hurricanes.

“Everyone’s reporting that my salary is $1.55 million (annually). Actually, my salary is $1.1 million,” he said. “Now, I’m an old high school teacher who was making 32 grand when I moved to Boston, and I’m extremely grateful and thankful for the salary I make right now.

“If I stayed the length of the (five-year) contract and I collect every bonus on the contract, it will average out to $1.55. And you know what? There is a chance that the University of Miami never called because they think I make $1.5,” he said. “There’s a chance just because it was released at $1.55 the University of Miami said, ‘We can’t call him. Why waste our time? We can’t pay him.”’

Although he has no desire to leave, Martin says he would always listen to another offer.

NBA-BOUND JAYHAWKS MARCUS MORRIS, CENTER, AND HIS TWIN BROTHER MARKIEFF SIGN AUTOGRAPHS for Lawrence resident Lori Brungardt and her son Lane, 10, before the KU men’s basketball banquet on Monday at the Holidome.

Banquet CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

reason he elected to not test the NBA Draft waters.

“When you are at this level, in a program like this, there will be a thought in my head,” Taylor said of turning pro. “I definitely thought about it. I didn’t hear too much (about his draft stock). I didn’t have too much to go off of.

“It was me thinking I was good enough. I mean, it’s my dream. If I feel I’m good enough to be there ... looking at the draft board, comparing myself to those guys there, I think I can play in the NBA. My time is going to come. I’m not rushing it. I will get a degree, and I’m excited. We’re going to have a good season.”

KU sophomore forward Thomas Robinson said his decision to return for a third year was definitely a tough one.

“Just the fact it’s what I’ve been playing for my whole life. You feel you’ve got there already,” he said of positioning himself for the NBA. “I look at the fan support here and everything I have not accomplished. If I leave now, my legacy would not be how I want it. I want to come back to school and make a name for myself as a Jayhawk and try to improve to be one of the best bigs in the country.”

Also, “with the potential NBA lockout, there may be no training camps. I have one of the best big-man coaches right here. Another year with D. (Danny) Manning is huge for me. I want to come back and be leader of the team.”

The Morris twins, who are leaving KU after three years, are confident they made the right call. Self on Monday said it was a “no-brainer” for them to leave.

“There may have been some deliberation, but it was strictly emotional,” Self said.

“From a factual standpoint, they needed to go.”

Marcus Morris said: “At the end of the day, it’s why I play basketball, to achieve my dream, to have things I never

had and live the way I never lived before. It’s not about the money, it’s about the success.

I’m happy having a coach backing my decision and not going against it. I feel the time is right.”

As far as the monetary part ... “It will definitely help my mom out. Some people can’t imagine where I came from (Philadelphia) and the places I lived before I came to Kansas,” Marcus said. “If you knew my story, you knew things I never had growing up.

You’d understand why.

“I’ll be back here a lot. I feel I have to come see my little brother ‘T-Rob’ (Robinson) play. He is family to me, one of my brothers. I have to come back, make sure he’s fine, things like that.”

Marcus said his mom, Angel, likely would keep her apartment in Lawrence.

“She’s taking care of T-Rob, too,” Marcus said of Robinson, whose mom died in December.

Markieff Morris said he’d like to be drafted, “by whoever would pick me and my brother. That would be my favorite team, the team I’d want to play for.”

Marcus added: “Even if I went in the second round and we went to the same team ...

I’d take that.” ●

Several Jayhawks commented on Selby’s situation.

“I wish him the best of luck whatever he does,” Taylor said. “I’ve not talked to him much. I’m not sure what he’s thinking.

“Our guard play is good.

With him, it makes it better. I think we’d be really good. I think we’d be good without him, too,” Taylor added.

Noted Marcus Morris: “I talked to him a couple days ago. He said he wasn’t sure.

He’s weighing options. Hopefully he comes back, or whatever he does I hope he has good success at it.”

Added Robinson: “I talk to him a lot. When we talk, it’s not about basketball. Right now, he has a lot on his plate.

I feel I know where he’s coming from. I’m sure Josh will make the right decision.”

KU BRIEFS KU’s Brunansky named razors and mouthwash, as well as canned and other non-perBig 12 player of week ishable foods. Fans are also Kansas University’s Jason Brunansky was named Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday, marking the first time the junior baseball center fielder has earned the recognition.

Brunansky, a native of Poway, Calif., hit .583 (7-for-12) with six runs scored, one double, one home run and three RBIs in KU’s series victory over Nebraska last weekend.

Kansas softball team to host Military Day Kansas University’s softball team will show its support of the men and women serving the United States on Saturday, when it plays host to Military Day at Arrocha Ballpark.

The Jayhawks will take on Baylor that day at 2 p.m.

KU senior pitcher Allie Clark spearheaded the effort and is looking to collect personal items such as toothbrushes,

encouraged to write letters of support to those serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations around the world.

“I have been emailing one of the unit’s sergeants, and he sent me a list of some of the items his unit would like,” Clark said. “... It is satisfying to know we are helping to make some of our troops’ time away from friends and family better.”

Kansas University senior guard Tyrel Reed was named winner of the “Danny Manning Mr. Jayhawk Award” at the conclusion of Monday’s basketball banquet at the Holidome.

Burlington native Reed received a standing ovation from a sellout crowd of 600 after accepting the trophy that goes to the player Reed who best represents KU both on and off the court.

“This is an amazing award,” said Reed, the winningest player in KU history (132 victories). “When I grew up wanting to play for this university and just have the opportunity to wear the Crimson and Blue for four years ... it’s been a blessing and a dream come true.

“I think everyone on this team is deserving of an award like that,” Reed added. “I’m so proud of our seniors — Brady (Morningstar) and Mario (Little). They exemplify everything that this program stands for, and I am so proud of them as well. I would also like to thank all my teammates. It’s been an amazing career and an amazing ride this year.”

Cody Kukuk (4-0) earned 1 the victory, pitching 4 ⁄ 3 innings and striking out 12.

Every out except one for Kukuk was via punchout.

“There were a few walks and hits in between there, and to their credit, Olathe North was able to string those together,” Hill said. “But there were certainly times when he was dominant.”

OLATHE — Free State High’s baseball team was shut out the last time it took the field. On Monday, it didn’t take long for the Firebirds to erase that memory.

Colin Toalson blasted a home run as the first batter of the game, and Free State hammered Olathe North, 13-6, on the road.

“That was huge,” Free State coach Mike Hill said of Toalson’s home run. “Hitting is certainly contagious. We needed that.”

Zenger, who told the fans to “enjoy each and every moment. There are few programs like this in the country.

Embrace each and every game, every season.”

He added that, “we have the finest coach in the country.”

That coach, Bill Self, praised his players for a 35-3 season that included a schoolrecord seventh straight Big 12 title and eighth Big 12 postseason title. The team also set the school homecourt win streak mark (69 games) and reached the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight.

“When you stop and think about this team, and particularly the seniors, and what they have accomplished is mind-boggling,” Self said.

“Brady Morningstar — 165 and 22 (counting red-shirt year); Tyrel Reed — 132 and 17; and Rio (Mario Little) in his three years was 95 and 14.

That’s an unprecedented thing. To think that where a lot of people projected this group to finish — anywhere from second to fifth in our league — to think the level that these guys performed at all year long, spoiled us. In my opinion, we had the best team in America.”

Self admitted, “the last two weeks have sucked (since losing to VCU). When you try hard and invest in something, it hurts.

Beginning tonight, it’s over (in looking to new season).”

Self told the fans: “Our goal will always be to cut down the nets on a Monday night in April. It didn’t happen this year, but I guarantee you it will happen again.”

Both QB hopefuls got the chance to put their improvements on display in a gamelike setting Saturday at the team’s first scrimmage of the spring. KU coach Turner Gill said Mecham and Webb split the reps evenly with the first and second teams, and the second-year Jayhawks leader said he noticed two moremature quarterbacks.

“I saw that they had a little bit better command of what they wanted to do and how they wanted to do some things,” Gill said. “I thought they both did some good things. Maybe a little bit of an edge (goes) to Jordan, but, again, they both did execute some good things.”

With his Jayhawks now halfway through spring drills, Gill said it didn’t take him long to see that both returning quarterbacks were worlds ahead of where they were this time last year.

“No question about that,” Gill said. “When you have experience, you’re gonna be a lot more comfortable.”

While the two players who split starts a season ago will continue to split reps until a starter is named, they also likely will have to deal with more competition when preseason camp opens in August.

That’s when incoming freshman Brock Berglund, a highly touted dual-threat QB from Highlands Ranch, Colo., will throw his arm into the race.

Regardless of the uncertainty surrounding Berglund and where he’ll fit into the competition, Webb is focusing only on spring ball and what he can do to get better every day.

Hawkinson working at right tackle Junior Tanner Hawkinson, a two-year starter at left tackle, has been working with the first-team offense at right tackle this spring.

Gill said the reason for the switch had as much to do with finding the right spot for returning lineman Jeff Spikes, who has worked at left tackle, as it did locating the best fit for Hawkinson. Junior defensive end Toben Opurum said he was impressed with how Hawkinson had taken to his new position.

“It’s almost weird seeing him over there,” Opurum said.

“I’m used to lining up against him every time, and now I see Spikes, but I think Tanner’s a smart dude, and he’s athletic, and he’ll adjust quickly.”

At Monday’s practice, the first-team offensive line was as follows: Hawkinson at right tackle, junior Trevor Marrongelli at right guard, senior Jeremiah Hatch at center, junior Duane Zlatnik at left guard and Spikes at left tackle. Behind them, from left to right, the second team was: senior Michael Martinovich, sophomore Randall Dent, freshman Dylan Admire, sophomore Tom Mabry and sophomore Gavin Howard.

Patterson still sidelined Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson, the team’s top returning pass-catcher from a season ago (60 reception, 487 yards, two TDs), again was held out of practice Monday, nursing a foot injury that kept him out Friday and Saturday. Gill said Patterson could practice if he had to, but added that he probably would continue to hold Patterson out until next week as a precautionary measure.

Lisher picks Washburn, will enroll in the fall Former Free State High football player Michael Lisher has committed to play at Washburn University next fall.

Lisher is currently enrolled at the University of NebraskaOmaha, where he red-shirted for the football team in the fall, before the program was cut by the university on March 13.

Lisher, who initially visited Washburn after high school, will enroll in the fall and have four years of eligibility left.

Lisher’s teammate at UNO and former Firebird standout Camren Torneden has yet to decide where he will play next year.

I want to send a special thank you to all the administration, faculty, staff, current and former players of Baker. This has been a tremendous experience in my life and one I will never forget.”

Athletics 2, White Sox 1, 10 innings CHICAGO — Kurt Suzuki hit a go-ahead home run in the 10th inning, and Oakland capitalized on Juan Pierre’s dropped fly ball in the ninth to tie it.

The White Sox wasted a dominant pitching performance by Mark Buehrle with their second ninth-inning implosion of the season.

Buehrle was lifted after eight scoreless innings and 99 pitches. He allowed only three baserunners — none past first base.

Matt Thornton, who

already had two blown saves in two opportunities, came on and allowed a leadoff double to Andy LaRoche in the ninth. One out later, Daric Barton hit a deep fly that Pierre dropped in the leftfield corner, allowing the tying run to score.

Suzuki put the A’s ahead on a two-out solo shot off Jesse Crain (0-1).

Tyson Ross (1-0) pitched three scoreless innings in his major-league debut for the win, and Brian Fuentes pitched a perfect 10th for his fourth save.

The Indians, coming off a sweep at Seattle, have started out 4-0 on the road for the first time since 1998 (6-0).

Decision on wife’s male friend a personal matter Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

school and have a friend who is very dear to me. But she lives under awful conditions. Her house constantly stinks, there are dog feces on the floor, and her father yells every five minutes. Not to mention, her siblings are rude and mean.

I can’t stand staying in her house. It’s really disgusting.

Still, I cherish my friend and want to hang out with her.

How do I steer her toward my house without insulting her?

— Tired of Filth

If I forbid her to see this man, I know it will turn her Dear Tired: If the condiaway from me. So I have decid- tions of your friend’s home ed to let her spend time with him, especially when I am busy with things that don’t interest her. My life is good, my wife is happy, and I am truly content.

The man she loves is intelligent and interesting, which makes it easier to take. I know she will never leave me. I’m determined to be happy for her. Are there other men who have had the strength to make a similar decision? — Ex-Professor Out East

Ready to do the Macarena? It looks as if 1996 is breaking out all over.

Maybe I'm showing my age, but I still consider Norm MacDonald to have perfected the best Bob Dole impersonation ever. Don't remember Bob Dole, kids?

Look him up on Wikipedia. MacDonald returns to television with "Sports Show with Norm MacDonald" (9:30 p.m., Comedy Central).

Taped before a live audience, this is clearly an attempt to do to sports footage what "The Daily Show" has done to news.

And where would "The Daily Show" have been without "Weekend Update" to pave the way in fake news? ● The time travel continues with "Sinbad: It's Just Family" (9 p.m., WE), the latest in a long line of "Osbournes"inspired series featuring the domestic shenanigans of the formerly famous with their spouses and adult children. In one wrinkle, Sinbad and his wife have been divorced and remarried since his heady days.

Sinbad had his own Fox sitcom from 1993 to 1994 and a syndicated talk show in 1997. Unfortunately, Sinbad did not exactly build a bridge to the 21st century.

Divorce and an epic bankruptcy and the ignominy of "Celebrity Apprentice" are only a few things he would like to put in his past with "It's Just Family." Hey, it worked for Vanilla Ice! Or did it? ● The sisters are doing it for themselves. Or for each other. Or for Toni, on "Braxton Family Values" (8 p.m., WE).

Popular singer Toni Braxton attempts a comeback with the help of sisters Tamar, Traci, Towanda and Trina. "Family" brings them all full circle. Before Toni's fame, the sisters sang together as "The Braxtons." ● A "60 Minutes" poll conducted in late January indicated that 65 percent of Americans had no interest in the forthcoming royal wedding. Don't tell that to the five Windsor-besotted Americans profiled on "Royally Mad" (9 p.m., BBC America).

Tonight’s other highlights ● Worlds collide on "Glee" (7 p.m., Fox). ● The second season of "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" (7 p.m., ABC) takes on the Los Angeles school system. ● Rocket science can be murder on "NCIS: Los Angeles" (8 p.m., CBS). ● Jimmy needs new friends on "Raising Hope" (8 p.m., Fox). ● Cold water, crab catching and conflict loom large as "Deadliest Catch" (8 p.m., Discovery) enters a new season. ● Someone goes home on "Dancing with the Stars" (8 p.m., ABC). ● The inevitable bachelor party episode of "Traffic Light" (8:30 p.m., Fox). ● Oil and oligarchs gum up the work on "The Good Wife" (9 p.m., CBS). ● Amber quits her job on "Parenthood" (9 p.m., NBC). ● A missing hand points to foul play on "Body of Proof" (9 p.m., ABC). ● "Independent Lens" (9 p.m., PBS) presents "Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child," a look at the meteoric rise and early death of a painter and Warhol protege. ● Separate Manhattan events bring out the competitive side of the "Fabulous Beekman Boys" (9 p.m., Planet Green).

In the meantime, invite your friend to your home often. If she tries to reciprocate, it is perfectly OK to tell her that you are more comfortable studying, watching TV or eating snacks in your own environment.

Dear Professor: Possibly, although not too many would be so generous. These types of decisions are personal and individual. If the arrangement is OK with you and makes your wife happy, it is no one else’s business.

Dear Annie: I am an intelligent 70-something with a good education and am a responsible father and grandfather. I am also the husband (more than 40 years) of an amazing, accomplished woman.

For the past 20 years, my wife has had a platonic friendship with a man who has far more in common with her than I do. I admit I’ve been jealous, but I also see how happy and radiant she is after a visit with him. She claims he is like a brother to her, and I think that is probably true.

But I know she loves him.

I’ve tried to change myself into someone more compatible with her. I’d been negligent for years in my personal hygiene and began taking more showers. And after a lifetime of overeating, dieting is difficult. I’m sure my body turns her off. I also have tried to enjoy the kinds of things she appreciates, but we are just too different in our tastes.

My wife is sweet, kind and affectionate. She cooks great meals, keeps our home running smoothly and ministers to me gently when I am sick. She even does most of the repairs around the house. We do enjoy some things together, like movies and traveling. If I initiate sex, she is a willing partner.

We share laughs and commiserate over our problems.

NBA champion Lakers say worrying for chumps

By Mike Bresnahan Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Their playoff run might be imploding before it begins, but the Lakers don’t think so.

“The ailing patient is starting to recover,” coach Phil Jackson said Monday, smiling as always, figuring the Lakers played pretty well Sunday against Oklahoma City until almost the end.

Five consecutive losses?

Sure. Three in a row at home?

Fine. An indigestible final three minutes Sunday against the Thunder. Whatever.

“Everybody wants to put the nail in the coffin,” Kobe Bryant said. “We’ve all been there before.”

Yes and no.

The Lakers were 3-6 down the stretch in the regular season a year ago, and that turned out fine for them. But there’s never been a championship ending for a Lakers team with a five-game losing streak.

Their latest hiccup was surrendering 120 points to Oklahoma City. They haven’t shown desire for an entire game since losing to Denver on April 3. They’re so banged up and their roster is so chock full of years that they couldn’t even conduct practice the day before playing San Antonio today.

“I would love to do it,” Jackson said. “We’re not physically capable of doing it.”

The recently repaired right knee of Matt Barnes is acting up, keeping him sidelined Monday. Pau Gasol and Bryant needed to rest, Jackson said. Steve Blake had a fever.

And as Jackson said, “Fish (Derek Fisher) def initely doesn’t need to go out there and run around the (practice) court at his age.”

It leaves the Lakers ... where, exactly?

Revisiting history.

Whenever Jackson mentions the Chicago Bulls, it rarely hits home with Lakers fans unless it’s a direct comparison of Bryant and Michael Jordan. But some solace was offered by Jackson when he talked about the 1991-92 Bulls, recalling they suffered a “couple devastating losses” in March and April.

“I was concerned. The players said it’s just the end of the season and we’ll get it back when we get into the playoffs ... and we did. We got it back.”

The Bulls ended up beating Portland in the NBA Finals.

Seemingly everybody on the Lakers is blaming fatigue and foresight, their 17-1 run somehow only a distant recollection because of their ominous slide since then.

“There’s some subliminal part of them that just is still giving in to ’We’re going to have to save it for the best, which is later on, and go from there,’ “ Jackson said. “At their age, it’s understandable.”

MILWAUKEE FORWARD AND FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY STANDOUT DREW GOODEN (0) REJECTS Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan. Gooden scored 19 points, and the Bucks defeated the Raptors, 93-86, on Monday in Milwaukee.

Which brings up San Antonio. The big, bad Spurs come to town today, only they might not bring all their six-shooters.

They have the luxury of playing their starters fewer minutes than usual, having wrapped up the Western Conference last week, and are hinting they might not go fullbore until the playoffs begin this weekend.

Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan each played fewer than 30 minutes in the Spurs’ 111-102 victory last Saturday over Utah.

The Lakers could use a break, even if it comes courtesy of a rival.

In the bigger picture, they insist there’s no fear of the future. They don’t even like comparing what they’re going through now to their late regular-season swoon of a year ago.

“Last year we didn’t know what the hell was going on,” Bryant said. “We had a lot of injuries. My knee needed to be operated on. A lot of question marks.

“Here we really don’t have any question marks. These are executional things, these are correctable things. From that standpoint, we all feel comfortable about it. You don’t even see anybody here feeling like it’s doom and gloom because these are problems that can be corrected and will be corrected.”

Bucks 93, Raptors 86 MILWAUKEE — Brandon Jennings broke free for three straight fast-break scores to give Milwaukee the lead in the fourth quarter, and the Bucks held on to beat undermanned Toronto.

John Salmons scored 24 points, and Jennings added 21 for the Bucks in their final home game of what has been a disappointing season.

It may have been the final game at the Bradley Center in a Bucks uniform for Michael Redd, the team’s longesttenured player. Redd played 14 minutes, scoring two points on 1-for-6 shooting.
