City agrees to $50K settlement in medical gas case

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

The city of Lawrence has agreed to pay the family of a 21year-old Tonganoxie High School graduate $50,000 as part of a settlement for brain damage he suffered during a 2009 dental procedure.

Chief Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild approved the settlement Wednesday afternoon in the lawsuit brought by Austin Stone and his family. The terms of the settlement agreement reached with the remaining parties in the case were confidential, Fairchild and attorneys said.

“Obviously this was a tragic set of circumstances for Austin and his family and frankly for everyone involved in this case,” Stone’s attorney Kirk Goza said.

“Austin and his family are glad to have this litigation resolved and this matter from a litigation standpoint behind them so they can move forward.”

The suit was filed in 2010 on behalf of Stone and his parents, Tara Passmore and Lance Stone, alleging oxygen and nitrous oxide lines were crossed during the design of Dr. Kirk Vincent’s new oral surgery office at 4811 Bob Billings Parkway.

Scherman recommends pulling inspiration from nature. An example was last year’s coordinator who glued bark and leaves to her clothes to become a tree.

Animal costumes are great for kids and can be reused in the fall for Halloween. Another popular

option is using a little green and white paint to fashion a cardboard box into a recycling bin.

And if dressing up isn’t your forte, make a sign or banner to promote your environmentally friendly cause.

Adviser discusses Obama re-election issues

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

INDEX

As a key campaign adviser to President Barack Obama, Jim Margolis says Obama will be in a different position as he seeks to win a second term in the White House in 2012.

“The campaign coming up is going to be a lot different than the 2008 campaign,” Margolis told more than 100 people Wednesday at the Dole Institute of Politics. “We can’t recreate what we did in 2008.”

With his lead role in Obama’s $450 million advertising effort three years ago, Margolis related several inside stories about video ads. One was meant to highlight Obama’s credentials, and another used Sen. John McCain’s own words — “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” — against him at the height of the financial crisis.

However, Margolis, who said he would work for Obama’s re-election campaign, acknowledged that

JIM MARGOLIS, a senior partner and president of advertising agency GMMA, speaks at the Dole Institute of Politics on Wednesday. Margolis played a key role in President Barack Obama’s advertising effort in 2008 and said he plans to work for Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. the success of the last campaign has not translated as a whole to governing the past two years. Democrats lost control of the House to the GOP in last November’s midterm elections.

“I’m not sure that we’ve told our story well enough,” he said. “I’m not sure that

people appreciate what all’s been done, but I’m also very cognizant of the fact that people lead busy lives.”

It’s a difficult task for Democrats to make an argument highlighting their record, especially to people who are still struggling economically, he said. And

Obama this time isn’t just waking up every day preparing to hit the campaign trail with his ads running all over the country. As president he’s seeing the world’s biggest problems — from Libya to Japan — land on his desk day after day.

So Margolis sees Obama’s 2012 campaign more about trying to distinguish the incumbent president on issues from his Republican opponent. Many big issues are in play, especially with Congress debating big-ticket budget items like the future of entitlement programs, like Medicare and Social Security.

“You’ve got a lot of the biggest issues we’re dealing with as a country right now,” said Margolis, a longtime political adviser who is president and senior partner at GMMA, an advertising and advocacy agency. “We’ve got to help people understand what’s in front of them.”

T O P E K A — The battle over funding of Planned Parenthood, which was recently waged in the federal government shutdown debate, is also being fought at the state level.

The Kansas House and Senate have approved two different budget plans for the fiscal year that starts July 1.

The House plan includes a provision that eliminates the passthrough of federal family planning funding to Planned Parenthood clinics.

“Americans don’t want their taxes to help an immoral business,” said Kathy Ostrowski of Kansans for Life.

Opponents of Planned Parenthood say the funds should go to other local health clinics.

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri say taxpayer funds are not used to fund abortions. It has long been illegal to use what are called Title 10 funds for abortions.

Planned Parenthood officials say the funds at stake — approximately $335,000 — go toward getting low-income women needed health care services, such as breast exams, Pap smears, cancer screenings, tests for sexually transmitted diseases and birth control.

These services help women avoid unintended pregnancies, they say.

“It makes absolutely no sense to eliminate access to preventive Title 10 health services that reduce the need for abortion in Kansas,” said Peter Brownlie, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and MidMissouri.

Planned Parenthood says the funding is crucial to support Planned Parenthood health centers in Wichita and Hays, which Please see CLINICS, page 4A

City says enforcement of inspections has improved since medical gas case Longtime Lawrence plumbing contractors can’t say they honestly were surprised the mistake happened in 2009, but they did say on Wednesday they would be surprised if it happened again.

As the city of Lawrence on Wednesday reached a $50,000 out-of-court settlement related to the 2009 Austin Stone medical gas case, local experts said they believed the city has since improved its building inspections process as a result of the tragedy.

“I know the city and the engineers are real serious about these issues now,” said Roy Chaney, a longtime Lawrence plumbing contractor who also serves on the city’s Plumbing Board Code of Appeals.

As the Journal-World reported shortly after the accident in 2009, the city’s building inspection division could not produce any documentation that the medical gas system in the newly constructed offices of Dr. S. Kirk Vincent had been inspected by a qualified private firm as required by city code. Stone, a Tonganoxie senior at the time, received serious injuries after he went to Vincent’s office for a routine procedure. Vincent later confirmed the injuries were the result of the medical gas system in his new building being improperly installed.

The installation of medical gas systems is just one example

where building codes rely on contractors to hire qualified private firms to conduct inspections rather than have city inspectors undertake the task. The process is called “third-party verification,” and Chaney and others said the city previously took a hands-off approach to ensuring such private inspections had occurred.

“The city hadn’t enforced that third-party verification before,” Chaney said.

City officials as part of the settlement on Wednesday admitted no liability, but they have made signif icant changes to how they handle medical gas inspections. As previously reported, the city adopted changes several months after the accident that require the city’s building inspections department to have documentation that medical gas lines have been inspected by a qualified private company. The new ordinance also requires the owners or facility managers of buildings with medical gas lines to acknowledge that they’ve received a copy of the inspection report. If the city doesn’t receive such documentation, it won’t allow the building to be occupied.

“It has added a greater level of assurance that the code is being met,” said Scott McCullough, the city’s director of planning and development services.

McCullough said he “could not speak to why” the city’s previous practices did not require such documentation.

“I would say that we have traditionally had a compre-

Teresa Szeptycki Teresa Szeptycki, 81, of Charlottesville, Virginia, died on April 12, 2011, in Charlottesville.

Born on November 23, 1929, in Lwow, Poland, she was the daughter of Teresa and Franciszek Raciborski.

She was preceded in death by her daughter Katherine (Kasia) Szeptycki, her husband Pawel Szeptycki, and her brother Alexander Raciborski.

Mrs. Szeptycki’s early childhood was spent at the Raciborski home near Lwow, where her parents owned and raised Arabian horses. On April 13, 1940, she, her mother, and her brothers were deported by the Soviets to Siberia. After two years of captivity, her family made its way to what was then British-controlled Palestine. She eventually was educated and trained as a nurse in England. In the late 1950’s, she helped open a heart surgery unit in South Africa and it was there that she met and married her husband, Pawel Szeptycki.

In 1962 they immigrated to Lawrence, Kansas, where Dr. Szeptycki became a professor of mathematics, Mrs. Szeptycki worked as a nurse, and they raised their three children. She grieved the death of her beloved daughter, Kasia, and lived in faith that they would be reunited. As a nurse, she cared for the very ill, the elderly, and the dying, and after she retired she continued to volunteer as a hospice nurse. Mrs. Szeptycki loved to travel, frequently visiting friends and family in England,

France, Italy, and Poland.

She also loved horses, music, playing bridge, reading, a good argument, her daily cup of espresso, good food, and a glass of wine. Above all, she loved her children and grandchildren.

Survived by her sons Leon Francis Szeptycki, of Charlottesville, and Paul Jan Szeptycki, of Toronto, Canada, her daughters-inlaw Elizabeth Magill of Charlottesville and Jennifer Schaffer of Toronto, her grandchildren Alexander and Claire of Charlottesville, and Hannah and Emmanuel of Toronto. She is also survived by her brother, Jerzy Raciborski of Exmouth, England.

The family would like to thank the staff of Rosewood Village for their loving and tireless care of Mrs. Szeptycki during the final weeks of her life.

A funeral mass will be held at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 401 Alderman Road, Charlottesville, at 10:00 am on the morning of Friday, April 15, 2011. Mrs. Szeptycki’s ashes will be interred in Lawrence, Kansas, next to the remains of her husband and daughter.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made in Mrs. Szeptycki’s name to Hospice Care in Douglas County, 200 Maine Street, Suite C, Lawrence, KS 66044.

Friends may send condolences to the family at www.hillandwood.com.

— Lawrence attorney Jerry Cooley issues, according to court documents and past testimony in the case.

Lawrence attorney Jerry Cooley said the city was denying liability as part of the settlement.

“It was a case that was a real tragedy. There were wet eyes from lawyers as well as witnesses through the deposition process,” Cooley said. “And the young man has a lifelong alteration in his life. We certainly feel for that, and hopefully the money will go to good use for his well-being, as I know it will.”

The plaintiffs alleged the city had a duty to require particular inspections by certain

hensive inspection program, but I think we have managed to make it better with this revision,” McCullough said.

The accident, which left Stone with a series of ongoing medical issues, caught the attention of building officials far and wide, said Herb Warren, the chief building official for the city of Olathe.

“I know that this is far less likely to happen today,” Warren said. “I know that I have talked to building officials around the country, and it has been an eye-opener for lots of people.”

State legislators last session did approve a law making it clear that installers of medical gas systems must have certain training and qualifications.

The Kansas Dental Association supported those changes, but executive director Kevin Robertson said there have been some informal discussions about whether the state law should be strengthened more.

Local plumbers also said the accident highlights the need to make sure plumbers are properly trained in work they attempt to undertake.

“It is a mistake and we all make mistakes, but that is just one you can’t make,” said Denis Wittman, a representative for the local chapter of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union. “There is a man suffering over it. You just can’t make that mistake.”

medical gas installation experts, which was the city’s point of contention in the case. Cooley said since the incident the city has adopted an ordinance requiring a certificate by a certified medical gas inspector be provided to the city before an occupancy permit can be granted.

Remaining defendants are Patterson Dental Supply Inc. of Topeka; Blanchard Design Group LLC of Lawrence, the project’s architect; general contractor Design Build Collaborative LLC of Lawrence; and mechanical engineers Hoss and Brown Inc. of Lawrence.

Goza said Stone and the family were focusing on his current recovery process.

“He continues to get therapy and treatments and is moving forward with all of those things,” Goza said. “That will hopefully increase his ability to do better in the future.”

First Watch to reopen in May

1 | CAIRO

Protesters hopeful as Mubarak detained

By Chad Lawhorn

Ousted President Hosni Mubarak and his two sons were detained Wednesday for investigation of corruption, abuse of power and killings of protesters, bringing cheers of victory from activists who hoped it marked a turning point in Egypt’s turbulent transition to democracy.

The 82-year-old Mubarak was under detention in a hospital, a step prosecutors depicted as a precaution to monitor his health while under questioning.

His sons Gamal, once seen as Mubarak’s successor, and Alaa, a wealthy businessman, were jailed in Cairo’s Torah prison, where a string of former top regime figures — including Mubarak’s prime minister, ruling party chief and chief of staff — are already languishing, facing similar corruption investigations.

The detention of the man who ruled Egypt unquestioned for 29 years set a new landmark in the already unprecedented wave of upheaval shaking the Middle East. It was arguably the first time an authoritarian leader in the Arab world has been brought to justice by his own people, given that Saddam Hussein was toppled and later captured by American troops, who handed him over for trial and execution

by Iraq’s new Shiite rulers.

A popular south Iowa Street breakfast restaurant is now on track to reopen in May. An official with the restaurant chain First Watch confirmed that work has begun to reopen its location at 2540 Iowa, which has been closed since early March.

Chris Tomasso, the chief marketing officer for First Watch, said the company this week

signed a long-term lease to reopen at the location. Construction crews were scheduled to begin on Wednesday a remodel of the interior space. Tomasso said the restaurant will reopen sometime in May. “We’re looking forward to staying there for a long time,” Tomasso said.

The Lawrence location was one of the few franchise operations for First Watch. The franchisee, however, had to unexpectedly close the restaurant for

personal reasons in March. First Watch officials said they liked the Lawrence market but had to do some administrative work to get the location transferred over to corporate ownership.

With the restaurant already closed, Tomasso said the company decided to give it a complete remodeling. The interior will be converted to a new prototype design that First Watch is using in several other markets.

The menu, however, will not

change. Tomasso said Lawrence residents made it very clear that they liked what First Watch was previously offering.

“Since that restaurant closed, the outpouring of support and inquiries from Lawrence has been great,” Tomasso said. “The passion for it has really been overwhelming. We’re moving as quick as we can to reopen.”

Syria uprising broadens Women, children and students took to the streets in Syria on Wednesday, lending their voices to a monthlong uprising that President Bashar Assad insists is the work of a foreign conspiracy.

The protest movement is posing an increasing threat to Assad’s iron rule as it attracts an ever-wider following, with tens of thousands of people demanding political freedoms and an end to the decades-old emergency laws that extend state authority into nearly all aspects of Syrians’ lives.

“We will not be humiliated!” shouted some 2,000 women and children who blocked a main coastal road in northeastern Syria, where security forces and pro-government gunmen have cracked down on dissent in recent days. The protesters were demanding the release of hundreds of men who have been rounded up in the villages of Bayda and Beit Jnad.

“Yesterday they raided our home in Bayda and took away my father,” said one of the protesters, a 21-year-old woman. “I’m not leaving here until they return him to us.”

In an apparent attempt to calm the women’s demonstration, authorities released about 100 of the detainees and paraded them in front of the protesters, prompting cheers and cries of triumph, a witness said. Some of the men were bruised and appeared to have broken bones, witnesses said.

Evacuees demand compensation

Riverkeeper earns volunteering honor

Small business owners and laborers forced to leave their homes and jobs because of radiation leaking from Japan’s tsunami-flooded nuclear plant rode a bus all the way to Tokyo on Wednesday to demand compensation from the plant’s operator.

People are increasingly growing frustrated with Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s handling of the nuclear crisis, which has progressed fitfully since the March 11 tsunami swamped the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, knocking out important cooling systems. Restoring them will take months.

“I am not asking for anything more than I am entitled to,” said Ichijiro Ishikawa, 69, who dug roads and tunnels and is now living in a shelter because his home is in a 12-mile evacuation zone around the plant. “I just want my due.”

He and about 20 other people who lived and worked near the plant traveled 140 miles southwest to hand-deliver a letter to the president of Tokyo Electric, known as TEPCO. They said talks with the government over how to compensate victims will take too long to get started and they want money now.

If R.J. Stephenson could pick a book title to describe his life, it might be “A River Runs Through It.” “I have always loved being on the water,” he said, recounting his days canoeing as a Boy Scout and using the lawn mowing money he earned as a teen to purchase a raft.

Since then, he’s floated rivers all over North America, including the Colorado River, which slices through the Grand Canyon, 10 times.

But it’s the river closest to home, the Kansas River, that has captured Stephenson’s heart. His advocacy for the Kansas River has earned him the honor of being selected as the Friends of the Kaw Inc.’s

Student killed when machine snags hair

clawhorn@ljworld.com

A Yale University student nearing graduation was killed inside a school chemistry lab when her hair was pulled into a piece of machine-shop equipment, school officials said Wednesday.

Michele Dufault, a senior majoring in physics and astronomy, died Tuesday night after her hair became caught in a fast-spinning lathe, university President Richard Levin said. Her body was found by other students who had been working in the building, he said.

In a Facebook profile picture, Dufault is shown with long brown hair that fell below her shoulders.

She died from accidental asphyxia by neck compression, according to the Connecticut medical examiner’s office. New Haven authorities received a 911 call about the accident at around 2:30 a.m., police spokesman Joe Avery said.

Efforts to raise $6.2 million to build a new community theater in West Lawrence are reaching a critical stage, the leader of Theatre Lawrence said.

Mary Doveton, the theater’s director, said the group has raised $4.5 million, which is up from the $4.2 million total the theater had reached in October.

But now the theater must get pledges for the remaining $1.7 million before Sept. 30, or else the theater likely will lose $1.5 million in grants that have been previously pledged.

“It is going very well and people have been very receptive,” Doveton said. “People are excited about the campaign, but we still have work to do.”

Plans announced last fall by Theatre Lawrence — previously known as Lawrence Community Theatre — call for a state-of-theart facility to be built near Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive in the Bauer Farm development, which is in front of Free State High School.

Among the features planned for the new facility: ● A 300-seat theater with a thrust stage, meaning seating will be on three sides of the per-

formance. The current theater at 15th and New Hampshire streets seats about 160. ● A parking lot for about 135 vehicles. The current theater is in a residential area, 1501 N.H., and largely relies on on-street parking. ● An education wing that will include classrooms for the theater’s growing youth program.

Theater leaders would like to start construction by the winter and be open by early 2013.

Environmental chapter would bring new regulations to Douglas County

By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

The horizon just got a little bit clearer for supporters of Horizon 2020’s new environmental chapter in its current state.

Douglas County commissioners voted Wednesday 2-1 to approve an amendment to comprehensive plan Horizon 2020, adding on the new chapter.

The vote went forward despite significant public comment against the motion.

Work on Chapter 16, the environmental chapter, first began in 2008. The chapter is intended to put into effect new environmental regulations around the county, ranging from protecting floodplains, limiting removal of prairie grasses and wooded areas and improving air quality.

However, many Douglas County residents said at the meeting that not enough people had been involved in the planning process and that many rural residents weren’t aware of the new regulations that could be headed their way.

The chapter would bring about 124 new or modified

Mary Ross, of NunemakerRoss Farms northeast of Lawrence, said she was concerned about her land and hoped to keep it so it would become her children’s and grandchildren’s heritage.

However, she disagreed with the idea of using taxpayer dollars to further regulate her land.

“We are already highly regulated by many governmental agencies,” she said at the meeting. “It seems that our personal property rights would be seriously eroded.”

Many rural landowners expressed exasperation that they were not involved in the development process of Horizon 2020.

Members of the LawrenceDouglas County Planning Commission said they invited stakeholders to take part in planning, including many groups that would intersect rural interests.

Commissioner Mike Gaughan voted to approve the chapter because he said he didn’t see any benefit in rehashing it again. Gaughan said everyone involved, from landowners to county officials, would have to com-

“Almost nobody’s happy with every single word of this,” he said.

Commissioner Nancy Thellman also voted to approve it. Commission Chairman Jim Flory wanted to keep the issue open for further discussion on each section.

“I don’t think we’ve had the chance to discuss it,” Flory said. “Three years in the making, it’s a quantum leap in potential regulation.”

Approval by the County Commission means the chapter will be sent ahead for approval at the Lawrence City Commission.

Bob Dole honored for efforts to fund WWII Memorial T O P E K A ( A P ) — Former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole’s tireless efforts to ensure the construction of the World War II Memorial will be honored forever by a plaque to be installed near the main concourse at the shrine in Washington D.C. The plaque was dedicated during a ceremony at the memorial on Tuesday. A string of dignitaries praised Dole not only for his work on behalf of the memorial but for his dedication to veterans and their issues throughout a Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photos long public service career.

Hearing set for man in eye clinic crash A Lawrence man accused of drunken driving and crashing into an optometrist’s office appeared in Lawrence Municipal Court Wednesday morning.

Court personnel said a judge Wednesday scheduled a plea hearing for Leith Jon Stevenson, 27, for May 8. Stevenson was arrested March 29 on charges of reckless driving and DUI. Police and prosecutors accuse Stevenson of losing control of his Chevrolet Camaro and crashing into a wall at 4:50 p.m. March 29 of a frame-fitting room at Lawrence Family Vision Clinic, 3111 W. Sixth St., which is near Sixth Street and Lawrence Avenue.

Police said that two people inside the clinic were knocked across the room but that no one suffered major physical injuries. Stevenson’s blood alcohol-content was 0.109 after an evidentiary breath test, according to the accident report from police. The legal limit to drive in Kansas is 0.08.

Diversion revocation sought for man in fight Douglas County prosecutors are asking a judge to revoke a diversion agreement of a 21year-old man who was connected to a 2009 fight outside

the Burge Union involving Kansas University basketball and football players.

David Melton, a chief assistant district attorney, alleged in a court filing last week that Guy M. Lipscomb has failed to complete anger management counseling. The counseling was one requirement of a September 2010 agreement he reached with prosecutors for diversion on two criminal threat charges he faced.

Lipscomb, who was not a KU student, was accused of threatening to get a gun and shoot two women outside Jayhawker Towers in a parking lot on Sept. 22, 2009. According to testimony at a October 2009 preliminary hearing, one victim, who was a member of the KU track team, said she saw Lipscomb at the fight outside the Burge Union about an hour earlier before he made the alleged threats.

KU basketball player Tyshawn Taylor injured his thumb in the Burge Union fight, and it was followed by a second altercation between members of the two teams the next morning outside Wescoe Hall, which garnered national attention.

District Judge Kay Huff has scheduled a May 3 hearing in Lipscomb’s case regarding the allegations. Prosecutors are asking her to revoke his diversion and set a trial date for the criminal threat charges.

during one of the group’s educational float trips.

“In my view, what I do helps connect people to the Kansas River,” said Stephenson, who works for Himpel Lumber in Tonganoxie.

“It gives them a feel for what they didn’t know was there or for environmental systems they didn’t understand. Once they get connected, once they understand the need for quality water, once they enjoy a day floating down the Kaw, then I think their world becomes a better place for them and all of us. In the long run it will make Douglas County and counties all along the river a better place to live.”

For Stephenson, volunteering with Friends of the Kaw is the best of both worlds. He can support a cause he loves and benefit personally.

“My life has been enriched by the fact that there are small things I can do along the way to help take care of special places,” he said.

“I don’t have to be the spokesman or the leader, but if I can do my small part, and if things are better for someone else, that’s a good thing.”

— Micki Chestnut is associate director of the United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center.

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said in a letter that Dole’s “sacrifice for the nation, his historical commitment to members of the armed forces of the United States, and his role in raising funds for the construction of the World War II Memorial places him among our country’s greatest leaders and patriots,” The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

The 14-inch wide and 10inch high bronze plaque will

be placed on a main access near the visitors center to the memorial, which has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Washington since it opened seven years ago.

Dole said he was humbled by the honor and accepted it on behalf of “all veterans, particularly my generation of World War II veterans who preserved liberty and freedom for us and for millions of others around the world.”

POLL

Are your taxes fair? Most say yes

By Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — For all the complaining this time of year, most Americans actually think the taxes they pay are fair.

Not that they’re cheering.

Fewer people expect refunds this year than in previous years, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows. But as Monday’s f iling deadline approaches, the poll shows that 54 percent believe their tax bills are either somewhat fair or very fair, compared with 46 percent who say they are unfair.

Should taxes be raised to eat into huge federal deficits?

Among the public, 62 percent say they favor cutting government services to sop up the red ink. Just 29 percent say raise taxes.

That’s sure to be a major issue as Congress takes up budget legislation for next year and the 2012 presidential campaign gets under way in earnest.

On Wednesday, President Barack Obama revived his proposal to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to help reduce government borrowing.

In the poll, Democrats were more likely than Republicans to think their tax bills were fair. Liberals and moderates were more likely to think so than conservatives.

D.C. holiday delays federal tax filing deadline Taxpayers get an extra three days to file their federal tax returns this year, and they can thank the nation’s capital for the extra time.

The filing deadline is delayed until midnight Monday because the District of Columbia will observe Emancipation Day Friday. By law, local holidays in the nation’s capital impact tax deadlines the same way federal holidays would. States generally follow the federal deadline. adults under 30 and seniors 65 and above — were much more likely to say their taxes were fair than those in their prime earning years. Surprisingly, there was little difference in the perception of fairness across income levels.

But just because people say they pay a fair amount doesn’t mean that they think others do.

Sandra Jennings, a retired teacher in South Bend, Ind., said her federal taxes are fair, but she thinks rich people get off too easily.

Rich people, she said in an interview, “get all these loopholes. The middle class does not have loopholes.”

Mari Lemelson of Edison, N.J., said, “I have a big problem with the millionaires, at least what I understand to be the millionaires’ tax breaks.”

Jim Martel, an electrician from Weymouth, Mass., said his tax bill is already unfair,

Emancipation Day marks the occasion when President Abraham Lincoln signed a law ending slavery in the District of Columbia. Lincoln signed it April 16, 1862, more than eight months before he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which eventually led to all slaves being freed.

April 16 falls on Saturday this year, so the holiday is being observed April 15, the traditional tax filing deadline. but he would be willing to pay more if he thought the money would be spent wisely. He’s not optimistic.

“If I thought people in office had the right thing in mind and they were doing the right thing with the money instead of blowing it and wasting it and funding these stupid projects that are totally ridiculous, I wouldn’t have a problem with it,” Martel said. “But they don’t, so that’s what bothers me.”

Monday is the filing deadline for federal tax returns — three days later than usual because a local holiday is being observed in the nation’s capital on Friday, the traditional deadline.

Federal tax receipts are projected to hit their lowest l eve l i n 6 0 ye a rs wh e n measured as a share of the ove ra l l e co n o my. Ta x receipts dipped during the recession and have stayed

low in part because Congress has extended Bushera tax cuts at every income level, leaving federal rates unchanged for much of the past decade.

Residents in many states, however, have faced higher taxes because — unlike the federal government — states, school districts and municipalities must balance their budgets each year.

The share of the public believing their tax bills were fair was nearly identical to an AP poll taken in 2007, even though fewer people than in the past said they expect to get refunds this year. Fiftyone percent of those polled said they expected refunds this year, down from 57 percent in 2009 and 66 percent in 2007.

Many people who don’t expect refunds could be in for a pleasant surprise.

Through March 25, about 87 percent of the individual returns processed by the Internal Revenue Service qualified for refunds.

That’s about the same rate through the same period as last year.

Ultimately, about 85 percent of individual returns qualified for refunds last year, totaling about $360 billion. The refunds averaged $3,000, about the same amount as so far this year.

Economists say tax refunds typically provide a boost to the economy each spring.

This year, however, more people say they plan to save, invest or use their refunds to pay down debts.

Damaged jet takes flight after repair

By Bob Christie Associated Press Writer

PHOENIX — A Southwest Airlines jetliner that had a fuselage rupture above Arizona this month has left the state after being repaired, an initial step for the plane to be put back into passenger service.

The Boeing 737-300 has been patched and repainted and there is no sign of the 5foot hole that opened in the plane’s roof on April 1, Yuma International Airport spokeswoman Gen Grosse said.

The jet flew to Southwest’s home base at Love Field in Dallas on Wednesday morning, company spokeswoman Brandy King said. The plane made a brief stop and then took off again for a flight to a facility where more permanent repairs can be made. Boeing worked with Southwest to design a repair plan to the jet. Aircraft with that extent of damage are commonly repaired and placed back in service.

The aircraft tracking website Flight Aware showed the final destination as Greensboro, N.C., site of a major private repair facility.

The plane never went over 10,000 feet Wednesday, meaning it could fly without pressurization.

Following the emergency, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered inspections of all older model 737-300s, 400s and -500s with at least 30,000 takeoffs and landings.

The order applies to about 10 percent of the 6,000 737s in service worldwide.

Southwest inspected its 79 737-300s and found five others with the same kind of cracks believed to have caused the emergency earlier this month.

About 100 other planes worldwide are required to have inspections by the end of April and hundreds more will need them when they reach the FAA threshold.

International airlines including Qantas and SAS were inspecting their fleets.

In addition, the FAA emergency airworthiness directive requires re-inspections of the suspect jetliners every 500 flights. For Southwest and other carriers that fly their planes on multiple short hops every day, that would require crews to examine the planes with specialized crack detectors every couple of months.

Flight 812 was nearing 35,000 feet and just 18 minutes into a flight from Phoenix to Sacramento when it experienced what is known as an explosive decompression, a rip in the pressurized fuselage. Passengers had to scramble for their oxygen masks as the pilots declared an emergency and rapidly descended to 10,000 feet, where oxygen isn’t required.

The pilots then diverted to the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, which shares runways with the private airfield.

Southwest decided within hours to pull its similar planes for inspections, leading to hundreds of flight cancellations. The action came days before the FAA order.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● The FBI and the Justice Department on Wednesday began dismantling a ring of international computer thieves who stole hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide by infecting over 2.3 million computers with malicious software. It was the biggest such enforcement action U.S. authorities have ever taken against cyber criminals.

FBI officials said investigators were able to execute a digital sting of their own — taking control of several of the malicious computer servers and sending commands to make them stop transferring pirated data.

Millions of dollars were stolen from U.S. computer users, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing.

The investigators were trying to contain a malware program called Coreflood, which has been around for at least a decade and can record key strokes, allowing cyber criminals to take over unsuspecting computers and steal passwords, banking and credit card information.

Government wants airlines to refund fee for bags lost

By Scott Mayerowitz Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — You’ve already paid $15, $20, even $35 to check your bag on a flight. Then the airline loses it. You don’t even get your money back.

The government wants to change that, tackling two of the biggest complaints about the air travel industry — poor service and the explosion of fees — at once. Major airlines, which collect $3.3 billion in bag fees each year, are opposed.

The airlines charge $15 to $35 to check a bag, $20 to $45 to check a second and more for the third and beyond.

Most airlines won’t provide a refund, even if it takes days to return a passenger’s suitcase.

They say the rule would raise prices for everyone.

“I am going to pay you $25 to deliver my bag to X destination, it should be there waiting,” says Joseph S. Rosenberg of Roanoke, Va., who had to buy a suit at the last minute this week after an airline lost his bag on a flight to a business meeting.

“They should return the fee for failure of service,” says Rosenberg, whose luggage arrived after his meeting.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has implemented a series of rules aimed at protecting passengers. Last year, the government limited how long passengers can sit on planes during ground delays to three hours.

Now the Transportation Department wants to make airlines pay passengers more when they’re bumped off their flight, allow passengers to cancel reservations within 24 hours of booking with no penalty and require better disclosure of fees and surcharges.

Under existing rules, if luggage is never found or is damaged, passengers can ask for a fee refund as part of their lost-property claim. But if a bag is simply delayed, a pas-

The Department of Transportation is proposing a new rule requiring automatic refunds for delayed luggage. senger is out of luck.

Two airlines provide a credit — although not a cash refund.

Alaska Airlines offers a $20 credit for future travel or 2,000 frequent flier miles if luggage is not at the claim area 20 minutes after the plane parks at the gate.

Delta gives a $25 credit for each bag if it doesn’t arrive within 12 hours. Both airlines require a claim form.

Airlines prefer handing out vouchers instead of cash. The credits mean that a passenger will either bring them additional business or just never redeem the voucher, costing the airline nothing. Airlines often offer vouchers when they look for volunteers to give up seats on overbooked flights.

U.S. airlines lose bags at about half the rate they did in 2007, before the implementation of checked luggage fees.

People are carrying on their bags, making the airlines’ job easier. Still, last year, more than 2 million bags didn’t arrive on the same flight as their owner.

Obama: Cut spending, raise taxes on the wealthy

By David Espo Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — President Barack Obama coupled a call for $4 trillion in long-term deficit reductions with a blistering attack on Republican plans for taxes, Medicare and Medicaid on Wednesday, laying down markers for a roiling debate in Congress and the 2012 presidential campaign to come.

Obama said spending cuts and higher taxes alike must be part of any deficit-reduction plan, including an end to Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy. He proposed an unspecified “debt failsafe” that would go into effect if Congress failed to make sure the national debt would be falling by 2014 relative to the size of the overall economy.

“We have to live within our means, reduce our deficit and get back on a path that will allow us to pay down our debt,” the president said in a speech at George Washington University a few blocks from the White House. ”And we have to do it in a way that protects the recovery, and protects the investments we need to grow, create jobs and win the future.”

Obama’s speech was salted with calls for bipartisanship, but it also bristled with attacks on Republicans. They want to “end Medicare as we know it,” he said, and to extend tax cuts for the wealthy while demanding that seniors pay more for health care.

“That’s not right, and it’s not going to happen as long as I am president,” he

HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN PAUL RYAN, R-Wis., declares that he was “disappointed” in President Obama’s speech on a federal spending plan during a news conference Wednesday at the Capitol in Washington. vowed. Medicare serves 47 million seniors and disabled people.

Obama spoke to an audience that included Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., author of the House Republican budget that drew repeated presidential scorn. The Budget Committee chairman later told reporters he had been excited to receive an invitation to the speech, believing the administration was extending an olive branch.

“Instead, what we got was a speech that was excessively partisan, dramatically inaccurate and hopelessly inadequate to addressing our country’s pressing fiscal challenges,” Ryan said. “What we heard today was not fiscal leadership from our commander in chief. What we heard today was a political broadside from our campaigner in chief.”

Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, noted that the administration has asked Congress to raise the debt limit, but said, “the American people will not stand for that unless it is accompanied by serious action to reduce our deficit.

More promises, hollow targets and Washington commissions simply won’t get the job done.”

The president spoke less than a week after he reached a compromise with Boehner on an unprecedented package of $38 billion in spending cuts for this year just in time to avoid a partial government shutdown. Both houses of Congress are expected to pass the measure in the next 24 hours or so, closing the books on the current budget year and clearing the way for a far more defining debate about the size and shape of the government.

Both parties helped run up $14T debt

By Tom Raum

“

My members won’t vote to increase the debt limit unless we’re taking — Two cen- serious steps in the right direction.”

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON turies after America’s birth, the national debt was a bit under $1 trillion when Ronald Reagan took office in 1981.

Just three decades later, it has soared above $14 trillion, and accusations of blame are flying. Both Republicans and Democrats played major roles in driving the figure sky high.

If the tab were divided up now, it would come to roughly $47,000 for each man, woman and child in the United States.

In what is shaping up as the next bruising economic battle, Congress is being asked

by President Barack Obama to authorize fresh borrowing once the nation’s fast-growing debt slams into the current debt ceiling of $14.3 trillion — something the Treasury Department says will happen no later than May 16.

Leaders of both parties acknowledge that failing to raise the limit could force the government to begin defaulting on some of its obligations — for instance making interest payments on Treasury bills and bonds — with severe adverse consequences, including possibly pushing the economy back into recession.

Creative accounting may help forestall the crisis for a few additional months. But then the effects could be severe, or as the White House warns, “like Armageddon, in terms of the economy.”

Blame game Republicans like to blame Obama and congressional Democrats, citing heavy spending that they claim has done little to end the recession or create jobs. Democrats argue that the stage for fiscal ruin was set by Republican President George W. Bush, with large tax cuts that favored the wealthy, two wars and a vastly underfunded prescription drug program for the elderly. They accuse Bush of squandering a budget surplus handed to him by President Bill Clinton.

“We lost our way” during the Bush years, Obama suggested on Wednesday as he laid out his own prescriptions for taming the nation’s longterm budget woes, a move the administration hoped would also smooth the way for a debt-ceiling vote.

— House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio In fact, spending far outpaced revenues in both the Bush and Obama years. And the main culprit in addition to war spending was the devastating 2007-2009 recession, which not only prompted hundreds of billions of dollars in downturn-fighting spending by both the Bush and Obama administrations, but also resulted in a sharp dip in tax revenues due to sagging individual and corporate incomes.

The main reasons for big increases in the national debt in the years ahead are fastgrowing obligations for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other entitlement programs as tens of millions of baby boomers reach retirement age.

Increased limits Congress has raised the debt limit 10 times in the last decade alone, most recently in February 2010. But this year, the stakes are higher than usual, with Republicans and some Democrats warning Obama that they will not vote to raise it unless he agrees to mandatory restraints on future spending.

It was against this backdrop that Obama on Wednesday countered Republican budget plans with a series of his own proposals that he held out as better balanced. They included wide-ranging spending cuts, tax increases aimed at the wealthy and a “debt failsafe” trigger for additional across-the-board spending cuts and tax hikes if deficits are not headed down by 2014.

“That should be an incentive for us to act boldly now, instead of kicking our problems further down the road,” Obama said. Still, his plan faced difficulties ahead, with GOP opposition to new tax increases and complaints from some Democrats that his spending cuts are too drastic.

The U.S. has never defaulted on its debt. Its bonds are viewed as among the safest investments in the world. In addition to millions of Americans, many foreign governments and investors have vast

holdings in Treasury securities, with China leading the pack.

The GOP now is in the majority in the House of Representatives after mid-term elections last November that many victors and tea-party activists viewed as a mandate for deep spending cuts.

“My members won’t vote to increase the debt limit unless we’re taking serious steps in the right direction,” says House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

After a White House meeting with Obama on Wednesday to preview the speech, Boehner said, “I think the president heard us loud and clear.” He agreed that passing a debt-limit extension is highly important. “Not meeting our debt obligations is a very bad idea,” he said. But Boehner also insisted that higher taxes not be part of any debt relief deal.

What is the debt?

The national debt is the total accumulated indebtedness of the U.S. government.

As of Wednesday, it stood at $14.27 trillion. Of this, $14.21 trillion is subject to the debt limit. For various mostly technical reasons, several small governmental programs are not counted.

The national debt should not be confused with the federal budget deficit, which is only a one-year slice. The def icit is the difference between what the government spends in a given year and what it takes in. In the budget year that ends Sept.

30, the deficit is expected to be a record $1.5 trillion.

At that level, for every $1 the government spends, it must borrow about 42 cents.

Only a few times in the nation’s history has the government run a budget surplus.

The most recent was in the early 2000s, when for several years the government took in more than it paid out. That helped take a nick out of the national debt, then hovering between $5 trillion and $6 trillion. Soon deficits returned and the national debt resumed its relentless climb.

COMPARING OBAMA, HOUSE GOP DEFICIT-CUTTING IDEAS

By The Associated Press

A comparison of President Barack Obama’s latest deficit reduction proposal with a Republican plan written largely by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, and expected to get a House vote this week:

Deficit Without changes to current law, budget deficits will total $7 trillion over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office projects. The deficit is the difference between the government’s outlays and its income in a fiscal year. Both Obama’s and Ryan’s proposals are vague in several areas.

Obama proposes reducing deficits by $4 trillion over 12 years, with $3 trillion coming from spending reductions and $1 trillion from additional revenue. The president wants to resurrect a “trigger” that would enact automatic spending cuts if deficits haven’t stabilized by 2014.

Ryan’s budget proposes spending cuts of $5.8 trillion over 10 years.

Medicare and Medicaid Obama and Ryan want to squeeze significant savings out of the health care programs for the elderly, poor and disabled. Both assume the $500 billion in claimed

savings over 10 years from projected increases in Medicare spending that was part of the health care law enacted last year. They would cut dramatically different amounts from the programs. ● Obama would leave Medicare and Medicaid basically in their current forms, but cut at least $200 billion more from Medicare over 10 years and $100 billion from Medicaid.

Obama lays out a mix of generalities and specifics on how to get there, including empowering an independent advisory board to hold down growth in Medicare spending, seeking to use Medicare’s bargaining power to negotiate lower prescription drug costs, improving patient safety and setting limits on Medicaid payments for certain medical devices. ● Ryan would repeal Obama’s signature health care overhaul and recast Medicare and Medicaid, while cutting Medicare spending by an additional $30 billion over the $500 billion cuts in projected increases in the new health care law.

People now 54 and younger would get a voucher-style federal payment to purchase coverage from private plans instead of the government making payments to health

care providers for services to Medicare beneficiaries. He would cut $771 billion from Medicaid over 10 years. Poor people would get federal money from states, which would receive it in block grants.

Social Security Both plans don’t touch Social Security, the politically sacrosanct retirement program for older Americans.

Taxes Obama proposes an overhaul of the tax system that would eliminate tax breaks and loopholes and even lower some tax rates, resulting in $1 trillion in additional revenue.

Obama also wants to allow Bush-era tax cuts to expire for individuals making $200,000 or more a year and couples making $250,000 or more. However, the revenue that would generate is not counted in his deficit-reduction plan because under existing law the cuts would expire on their own at the end of 2012.

Ryan’s budget would scrap numerous tax breaks and loopholes in exchange for reducing the top income tax rate for both individuals and corporations from 35 percent to 25 percent. He would extend the Bush-era tax breaks for all income levels.

Not this year Lawrence teachers won’t get what they don’t ask for, but their opening salary proposal isn’t in the district’s financial ballpark.

T

here’s nothing more important to the quality of education in the Lawrence public schools than the classroom teachers who have contact with students every day.

Considering the important role they play, most Lawrence teachers probably should be paid more than they are. After several years of relatively small increases in their salary and fringe benefit packages, most teachers probably deserve the $1,500 salary boost being sought by negotiators for the Lawrence Education Association.

The unfortunate truth, however, is that the timing of the teachers’ request is a little off.

The financial challenges facing the Lawrence school district make this a difficult year to give teacher salaries a sizable bump.

Negotiators for the teachers know they won’t get what they don’t ask for so you can’t blame them for trying. The question is whether it makes sense for the district to tap into the funds teachers have identified to cover the cost of salary and benefit increases.

The contingency fund that teachers have targeted now totals about $6.8 million, but the district already is proposing taking $750,000 from that fund to help fill the budget hole it expects for next year. Among other things, that money will help preserve the number of teachers hired by the district.

The teachers’ proposed salary increase, without considering benefits, extra duty pay and other factors, would cost the district about $1.4 million. The district probably could take that much from its contingency fund this year, but how about next year and the year after that?

If the district could reasonably expect to be able to replenish that contingency fund next year, it might make sense to borrow from it. However, current economic and political factors make such a turnaround an iffy proposition.

It probably doesn’t make the teachers feel any better, but many, many people in the private sector are sharing their pain. Over the last five years, combined salary and benefit packages for Lawrence teachers have risen between 1.5 percent and 4 percent. That’s not a lot, but it’s more of a raise than many private sector workers have seen. Private businesses have had to pare employees, reduce benefits and lower salaries. Those staff reductions have forced many remaining employees to take on additional duties without additional pay.

With expected state funding cuts, the district doesn’t have a lot of flexibility. Unless the board is willing to take the questionable course of borrowing heavily from reserve funds, the only way to find more money for teacher salaries is to take that money from other places. After several years of budget cuts, it’s hard to find cuts that wouldn’t have an impact on classroom instruction.

Although it continues to face tough salary competition from some neighboring districts, the Lawrence district has a history of providing solid salary increases for teachers when funding allows. The district should continue to do what it can, but this isn’t the year for a substantial, if any, boost in the salary and benefits package.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The lobby of the Federal Reserve Bank building here contains a money museum where a sign offers visitors “Free Money.” It is an amusing anomaly, considering the views of the man in charge of the building.

The free money in the lobby consists of shredded currency in small plastic bags. The free money that distresses Tom Hoenig, in his 20th and final year as president of one of the Federal Reserve’s 12 regional banks, is being pumped into the economy by two policies of the Federal Reserve in Washington — very low interest rates and a second “quantitative easing” (printing money). As the global recovery gains strength, the prices of three things will rise — oil, food and money. David Rosenberg of Gluskin Sheff in Toronto reports that in the last three months, 100 percent of the $55 billion increase in aggregate U.S. wages and salaries has been matched by increased grocery and gasoline prices. They are absorbing 22 percent of wages and salaries, a portion matched only twice in the last two decades — both times presaging recessions.

Under the $600 billion QE2, which ends in June, the Fed has been buying about 70 percent of the Treasury’s new issues of debt.

What interest rate might be required to attract buyers to fill the space left when the Fed withdraws from the market? Interest rates are the prices of money, and Hoenig says: “Tell me one product, one service, that trades well” — he means, is put to efficient use — “at a price of zero.”

Hoenig notes that cheap money policies predated the recession: He says the real federal funds rate — after discounting inflation — was negative about 40 percent of the time in the 1970s and the 2000s. In 2003, he says, under

Perhaps the primary “purpose of low rates is to

send money flooding into the stock market in search of higher returns.”

Alan Greenspan, interest rates were reduced to 1 percent because unemployment was too high. It was only 6.3 percent. Today it is 8.8 percent in the aftermath of the housing bubble and financial recklessness fueled by virtually free money.

Last year was Hoenig’s last as a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets the money supply and interest rates. Eight times the committee voted to hold rates low; each time, Hoenig was the lone dissenter.

He was at home one Sunday morning when he received a phone call from an 85-year-old woman in Connecticut. She said she and her late husband had lived frugal lives so they could get by in retirement on interest from their savings. Such people are among the losers under low-interest policies that mock the virtue of saving.

The winners include the 20 percent of Americans who own 93 percent of the equities. One purpose of the policy of protracted rock-bottom interest rates is to stimulate credit-sensitive sectors of the economy, particularly hous-

ing. In January, for the sixth consecutive month, housing prices plunged, almost to the level at the trough of the recession in 2009.

Perhaps the primary purpose of low rates is to send money flooding into the stock market in search of higher returns. The resulting run-up of equities’ values supposedly will produce a “wealth effect,” making fortunate people feel even more flush, and hence eager to spend and invest.

Hoenig, an Iowa native, says the provinces have not cornered the market on provincialism. He warns “end the Fed” advocates to be careful what they wish for. The Fed will not go away; under “reform,” regional banks such as his might. This, he says, would make the New York-Washington financial axis more powerful relative to “this part of the country.”

Would, he asks, America be better off if it were more like Canada, with most credit controlled by five major banks? His answer is that America’s innovative dynamism is related to the existence of thousands of community and regional banks attuned to local needs. He thinks the biggest threat to the economy is the existence of toobig-to-fail financial institutions: “In 1999, the five largest U.S. banking organizations controlled $2.3 trillion in assets, or about 38 percent of all banking industry assets. Currently, Bank of America by itself ... has the same level of assets — $2.3 trillion ... and the top five now have 52 percent of all banking industry assets. ... Creditors and uninsured depositors at too-big-tofail organizations believe that there is almost no chance that they will have to take a loss.”

With all this, could we ever get back to capitalism? “Not,” he says, “in my lifetime.”

How you act, not who you are “You know who I am,” she said.

Of course, according to witnesses and to Miami Beach Police, LeBron James’ mother said — and did — a number of dumb things during and after the encounter with a hotel valet last week that got her charged with simple battery and disorderly intoxication.

Gloria James, 43, is said to have left the Fountainebleau Miami Beach hotel sometime after 4 in the morning and asked the valet to bring her car. The valet did, whereupon she allowed it to sit idling for half an hour while she chatted with friends. Finally, the valet shut off the engine and gave the keys to a cashier.

Moments later, James allegedly confronted the valet, demanding her keys. Police reports and witnesses say she cursed and yelled at him, then slapped him in the face — which caused her to fall, a sequence she denies. When police arrived, she reportedly refused to speak or identify herself. She is said to have had red-rimmed eyes and a reek of alcohol. After her arrest, an officer at the station tried to get her to speak. James’ reported response: “I’m trying to trust you, but I don’t trust your kind.”

So no, none of this makes her look particularly good. But our focus today is on the thing the valet, Rockfeller Sorel, says she yelled as she was going upside his head: “You know who I am!”

velvet rope, from beyond the periphery of the exclusive places to which one has access if one lives in the orbit of a star. I believe the word for that is “groupie.” Or “entourage.”

If that seems a cheap and flimsy kind of fame, well, cheap and flimsy fame is all the rage. It is conferred upon a plethora of Parises, Snookis, Situations, Real Housewives and other “celebrities” of no discernible talent or achievement.

So it’s easy to see how, if you lucked out and gave birth to the right one, you might feel entitled to your own share of the cheap and flimsy, to cross that velvet rope into where cameras flash, champagne flows, your derriere is unctuously kissed. And perhaps it becomes easy to forget that being known is not the same as being respected.

Or that proximity to greatness is not greatness.

Or that little people have feelings too.

To the editor: I laughed out loud at David Merton Shultz’ assertion (Journal-World, April 12) that the birth of a “mulatto baby” (and doesn’t THAT term take one back to the good ol’ Jim Crow days!) was an uncommon, and therefore memorable, occurrence in Hawaii at the time of President Obama’s birth. Had Mr. Shultz’s “hundreds of hours of research” led him to actually visit Hawaii, view its census records or read its history, he would know that it is arguably the most multicultural/ethnic/racial of states in the Union.

He would know too that the local term for people like Mr. Obama is hapa, a native Hawaiian word meaning “half” which is now commonly applied to those of any combination of races and ethnicities. Among the peoples representative of the modern state of Hawaii are those of native Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, AfricanAmerican, Filipino, Korean, Chamorro, Samoan and Tongan heritage — and any and all combinations thereof. (Oh, yeah, and even plain old vanilla haoles like me.) Think Tiger Woods; think Greg Louganis.

So thanks, Mr. Shultz, for a good chuckle. And please: Do try to get out more!

Slanted rhetoric To the editor: How much do you know about Planned Parenthood?

I’d say too many have little idea surrounding Planned Parenthood services and use extreme political rhetoric as a source of information. In fact, elected officials seem to be among the most uninformed.

Education and birth control allow us to prevent abortions.

Don’t eliminate education and birth control.

Planned Parenthood advises and/or treats many health issues not only for women, also for men.

What do you know about sex? What do you know about sexuality? We hear about sex and sexuality almost every day, but much of what we hear is inaccurate and can be confusing. Planned Parenthood provides clarity on these matters aka education.

Planned Parenthood services nationwide for both men and women in 2009: ● Contraception — 35 percent of services; ● STI/STD testing and treatment — 35 percent of services; ● Cancer screening and prevention — 16 percent of services; ● Other Women’s Health Services — 10 percent of services; ● Abortion services — 3 percent of services.

Planned Parenthood provides valuable health care to all without discrimination.

Planned Parenthood is being grossly misrepresented by too many members of Congress, which instead represents misinformation. How can so much congressional intrusion represent less government?

Perhaps it would be wise to keep a close eye on any political party that feels it is necessary to keep reminding voting taxpayers that it is the party of “less big government.” In fact it may be only political rhetoric.

Richard Heckler, Lawrence

Gloria James is not known to have ever dunked a ball, taken a charge, or nailed a buzzer beater.

But ... “You know who I am.”

It would be boorish for anybody — Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, the Queen of England — to behave as she is said to have done and top it off by declaring her own celebrity. But it is boorish, darkly comical and borderline pathetic for James to do so, given that the “accomplishment” upon which she apparently bases her importance is that when she was 16 years old someLetters Policy body who grew up to be famous The Journal-World welcomes letters to lived in her womb. the Public Forum.

Big 12 announces new deal with FOX

By Matt Tait

Relays shot put must-see

mtait@ljworld.com

Last summer, with conference realignment threatening the existence of the Big 12, commissioner Dan Beebe expressed supreme confidence and unwavering optimism in his ability to secure a television deal that would keep the conference together.

Wednesday, Beebe and the Big

12 announced an agreement with FOX on a 13-year TV deal that will put the Big 12 on par with any conference in the country.

“This landmark agreement positions the conference with one of the best television arrangements in collegiate sports,” Beebe said. “It exceeds the benchmarks as we move forward with our 10 members by providing significant revenue growth (and) increased expo-

sure. Most importantly, the agreement signifies the longterm commitment of the member institutions to one another.”

During a conference call Wednesday, Beebe conceded that the conference’s long-term stability always would have its critics. However, with the new deal in place, it’s safe to say none of those critics reside within the conference.

“This is a great day, not only

for KU, but also for all the members of the Big 12,” KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said.

“This agreement makes evident the strength of this conference, and we are pleased and proud to proceed into the future together with our nine conference partners.”

Added KU football coach Turner Gill: “This is a phenomenal

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Not bad, for an NFL tough guy

Soon, the air on Eighth Street between Mass and New Hampshire will be thick with testosterone. Loud music. Men ripping their shirts off and unleashing primal screams of passion.

If that sounds like a typical weekend night downtown, that’s not what I meant. This has nothing to do with college boys on the prowl. It has everything to do with the Kansas Relays as you never have seen them.

In a circle-your-calendar event, a bold-and-beautiful stroke of genius that makes the Kansas Relays not only relevant but must-see entertainment, the shot put will kick off the annual track meet downtown. The Sandbar, which bills itself the home of the indoor hurricane, will be the home of the outdoor shot put.

The competitors will put the shot from in front of The Sandbar into the intersection of Eighth and New Hampshire.

Access your iCalendar on either your computer or your iPhone or whatever technology is invented today that will track your schedule, and note the day (Wednesday), the date (April 20) and the time (6 p.m.).

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

LHS, FSHS pumped for River City Fesitval

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

You’d be hard-pressed to f ind a baseball fan in Lawrence who isn’t excited about this weekend’s River City Baseball Festival.

The 10th annual Festival — which features 28 teams playing 35 games in three days — begins today and runs through Saturday at Free State High, Lawrence High and Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

“It’s developed into, without question, one of the premier baseball tournaments in this part of the country,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said.

LHS and FSHS begin play this evening at Hoglund. The Lions will take on perennial 4A power Kansas City Bishop Ward at 5 p.m., and the Firebirds will follow with a clash against Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst at 7:30 p.m.

“It’s one of my favorite times of the year,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said.

Stoll said he had his team

Though the conference did not release the financial terms of the deal, it has been reported the deal includes annual revenue of $90 million for the league, which far surpasses the $20 million annual haul of the old deal, which expires after the 2011-12 season.

“In the total context of media arrangements, we think we’re in as favorable position as any conference in the country,” Beebe said.

remaining scholarships to give in the Class of 2011, four if Josh Selby declares for the NBA Draft. Previously a walkon, Conner Teahan received a scholarship this year because one was available. He figures to receive one again his senior year, with KU likely not to fill all available slots. Self said he would like to sign at least one more perimeter player and one more frontcourt player.

No. 91-rated Tharpe, a 6footer from Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., averaged 14.5 points and 6.0 assists in leading Brewester to a 31-3 record.

Players still on KU’s wish list include DeAndre Daniels, 6-8, 180, from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.; Jamari

Not to mention, the state tournament will also be played at Hoglund, and Stoll said playing in a Div. I venue always gets his team fired up.

“We’re challenging ourselves every day,” Stoll said.

“Every game, every tournament, it’s the best teams we can find. That’s what’s so exciting about this weekend.”

Alex Laughlin, Garrett Cleavinger and Jake Johnson

will mostly handle the starting pitching duties for the Lions (4-4), but Stoll also expects middle relievers Cameron Sulko and Bryce Montes de Oca to see plenty of time.

Ross Johnson, Lawrence’s leadoff hitter, has done a great job of setting the table for Troy Willoughby and Matt Sutliffe, who Stoll said have been stinging the ball lately and driving in a lot of runs.

Hill said he prepared the Firebirds (6-1) in a similar manner for the Festival, noting that while his team has quite a way to go in order to get back to state, he hopes it will be playing in three similar games to end the year.

“We’ve been able to struggle, if you will, and still go 61,” Hill said.

Left-hander Cody Kukuk (4-0), who dazzled with a complete-game shutout and hit three home runs in the Festival last year, Colin Toalson and Tim Lewis are expected to pace the Firebirds.

Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione even went as far as to say that the Big 12 now was in an enviable position.

“Through this agreement, the Big 12 institutions will generate per-member revenue at the highest levels in college athletics,” Castiglione said. “FOX has been a longtime quality partner of our conference, so continuing with them was an easy call.”

The new deal provides FOX — FX, Fox Sports Network (FSN) and Fox College Sports (FCS) — the exclusive rights to televise a minimum of 40 regular-season Big 12 football games, which nearly doubles the number allowed under the current agreement. Beebe said every conference football game would be available to fans in some form. The deal also allows each university the freedom to explore creation of its own network, a la Texas, or,

perhaps, to join together to create a conference network, like the Big Ten. One other key issue addressed Wednesday was the idea of a few Big 12 South schools earning a larger portion of the pie, a promise that was agreed upon as a way to entice those schools searching for greener pastures to stick with the Big 12.

“With the revenue that’s coming in, it looks like it will make that issue moot in 2012 and beyond,” said Beebe, indicating that the new revenue numbers exceed what those schools were promised. “This agreement, by unanimous vote and having the institutions commit to a long-term agreement, is a demonstration of what was stated last summer. It’s something we felt all along was the direction people had committed to, but now there’s even more clear demonstration.”

Traylor, 6-7, 210, also from IMG; and Trevor Lacey, 6-3, 190, from Butler High in Huntsville, Ala.

ing he’d be a second-round pick in this year’s draft. Draftexpress.com has Selby being taken No. 27 in the first round.

CBSsports.com’s Gary Parrish is the latest to write that Selby ultimately will choose the NBA. In Wednesday’s piece on the CBS website, he wrote: “Selby will announce sometime soon that he’s entering the NBA Draft because the only real alternative would be to return to Kansas, and that just isn’t happening. You think Selby wants to try to explain to the NCAA how he has been paying to train in Las Vegas for the past week? No way. So the freshman guard will pick an agent and formally declare — meaning his entire college career will consist of one disappointing season that garnered more headlines for impermissible benefits (in high school) than impressive performances.”

Possible transfer?: La Salle sophomore center Aaric Murray, who has announced plans to transfer, may make a recruiting trip to KU, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. The 6-10 Philly native averaged 15.2 points and 7.7 rebounds last season. He has visited Oklahoma State and also has West Virginia, Marquette and DePaul on his list. ●

Still in Vegas: KU freshman Selby remained in Las Vegas on Wednesday, working out at Impact Basketball as he decides whether to enter the NBA Draft or return to KU for a second season.

Underclassmen have until April 24 to declare. ESPN’s Chad Ford lists Selby as the 44th overall prospect, meanThe NFL’s ongoing labor dispute encouraged Rivera to return to Lawrence to work out. After signing with Chicago as an undrafted free agent in 2009, Rivera joined the Tennessee Titans organization and spent the ’09 season on the Titans’ practice squad.

He landed with Green Bay in 2010 and was on the Packers’ practice squad until the

second-to-last week of the regular season, when he joined the Miami Dolphins.

He spent the final week of last season on the Dolphins’ active roster and hopes to continue the steady climb when training camp rolls around this summer.

“Everything after college is just icing,” Rivera said. “I’m just gonna ride this as long as I can.”

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

Slumping Aviles sparks Royals past Twins M I N N E A P O L I S ( AP ) — Mike Aviles didn’t feel he was in a funk. Even at 0-for-18, he didn’t consider that long enough to be a slump.

No need to think about that anymore.

Aviles doubled twice and drove in three runs as the Kansas City Royals became the latest team to tag Francisco Liriano, roughing up the Minnesota Twins, 10-5.

Alex Gordon added two hits and drove in two runs.

The Royals scored six times in the fourth inning to break open the game on Wednesday.

“Eighteen at-bats over the course of 500, 600 at-bats really is just a little down period,” Aviles said. “It wasn’t that big of a deal. I was fine, still am.”

Kyle Davies (1-1) won

despite allowing five runs and 10 hits in five innings. Three relievers combined on four scoreless innings, giving up just two hits. Jeremy Jeffress finished with two innings for his first major-league save.

“It was a day of bunches,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. “We bunched together a bunch of hits and then they came back and bunched together a bunch of hits. Again, our bullpen is spectacular and did the job.”

Liriano (0-3) gave up six straight hits during the Royals’ big inning. He began the game with a 7.71 ERA after Toronto and the Yankees knocked him around in his first two starts.

Denard Span was 4-for-4 and scored twice for the Twins, who started the day as

the lowest-scoring team in the majors.

“I thought the last couple of days the ball was coming off our bats MARINERS pretty VS. ROYALS good,” Minnesota man- When: 7:10 tonight ager Ron Gardenhire Where: Kansas said. “We City, Mo. had a lot Pitchers: Fister better at- (0-2) vs. Chen (1bats and 0) made some TV: FSKC (cable things hap- channels 36, 236) pen. We got back into the game today by swinging the bats and having some good at-bats.”

Kansas City is showing no such problem with its bats.

The Royals started the day with the AL’s second-best batting average and every starter except Matt Treanor finished with a hit.

“We’ve gotten on base a lot and if we don’t get it here, we’ll get it there,” Kansas City’s Billy Butler said. “We’re just doing a good job of putting pressure on teams. We have to continue to do that, force the issue and keep taking the extra base.”

Liriano went 14-10 with a 3.62 ERA last year and ranked fifth in the AL with 201 strikeouts.

The left-hander is still trying to re-establish his dominance after elbow surgery four years ago.

Liriano held the Royals hit-

Rays-Red Sox ppd, rain B O S T O N — The game between Tampa Bay and Boston scheduled for Wednesday night has been postponed because of rain.

less through the first three innings. The second time through the order, however, proved a tougher task. That’s been his pattern this year — in their first plate appearance against Liriano, hitters are batting just .083.

Overall, Liriano gave up seven runs and eight hits in five innings. He struck out four and walked one.

Gardenhire has been telling Liriano to relax, trust his movement and pitch to contact. In the first three innings, Liriano holds a 2.00 ERA; from the fourth inning on, his ERA jumps to 18.56 and hitters are hitting .448 off him.

“I threw more fastballs than I’m used to today,” Liriano said. “I just wanted them to put the ball in play and not strike them out.”

Dear Annie: Please do a huge favor for those of us with hearing problems and ask the people who sponsor or produce TV programs to reduce or eliminate the loud music. It is so bad that I can’t understand what the actors are saying. If it were not for closed captioning, I wouldn’t bother to watch any of the programs.

Even friends without hearing problems have a hard time understanding the dialogue. anniesmailbox@comcast.net I also mute most commerany kind. We contacted David cials because the noise hurts Kurzmann, assistant director of my ears. The music is incredthe Anti-Defamation League in ibly annoying. — Kuttawa, Ky. Greater Chicago and the Upper Midwest. He said the law protects workers against religionbased harassment, intimidation and repeated insult, especially where it harms the employee’s employment, position or compensation.

Most large companies have complaint processes (usually through HR, an ombuds office or an ethics line). They will often take the complaint seriously, investigate the situation and take action to change the environment. Your daughter may also have legal claims against the company and may wish to talk to an employment lawyer. Organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League (adl.org) and Workplace Fairness (workplacefairness.org) may be able to offer further advice on how to proceed.

NBC debuts its ‘Curb’ wannabe as ‘The Office’ flounders on Will Ferrell joins the cast of “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC) for a few weeks. He’s there to usher in the post-Michael Scott era. While many of us believe this would be the perfect time to end “The Office,” the show will go on, because NBC doesn’t have much else to offer.

Take “The Paul Reiser Show” (7:30 p.m., NBC). It’s a genial, if consistently laugh-free, oldfashioned sitcom desperately tryi n g to pa ss a s “ Cu r b Yo u r Enthusiasm,” wh i c h i s n’ t exa c t ly a n ew idea.

As on “Curb,” Reiser plays himself, a Hollywood f ixture and actor made rather comfortable by the success of an NBC sitcom but wondering what to do next. He’s been waiting for some time.

“Mad About You” left the airwaves in 1999.

I give “Reiser” points for some honesty.

The wisecracks revolve around his life as a dad and his interaction with other dads, guys he describes not so much as friends but as acquaintances forced upon him by circumstance. What they really resemble is a cast of sitcom stereotypes. Almost nothing they do or say seems believable for a second.

The genius of “Curb” is its ability to seamlessly weave Larry David’s ridiculous and often self-inflicted problems into a tight little half-hour minuet. In contrast, every comedic setup on “Reiser” can be seen a mile away. And nothing is more sadly obvious than the scene in the first episode between Reiser and Larry David, where David offers a rather lukewarm blessing to this faded photocopy of an idea.

For all of the obvious comparisons to “Curb,” “Reiser” made me think about another show entirely. Ray Romano was also faced with the aftermath of a careerdefining sitcom. But rather than land on “Everybody Still Loves Raymond,” he worked on another kind of show entirely.

The characters on “Reiser” are also men of a certain age. They’re just not that original or interesting. ● “The American Tax Cheat” (8 p.m., CNBC) examines the moral and legal ramifications of widespread evasion. ● Bike messengers face deadlines and dangers in the new series “Triple Rush” (9 p.m., Travel).

Tonight’s other highlights ● Rihanna and Kelly Clarkson & Jason Aldean are scheduled to perform on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Shred and dead on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). ● A slain TV host does not rest in peace on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Andy and April throw a posh party on “Parks and Recreation” (8:30 p.m., NBC). ● Exonerated by DNA, a con is murdered upon leaving prison on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Liz tries to unearth Tracy on “30 Rock” (9 p.m., NBC).

Dear Kuttawa: There is no question that the music and background noise in TV programs and advertising are louder than they used to be.

And certainly louder than necessary.

Producers respond to the bottom line.

Let them know you will not watch any show in which the background noise drowns out the dialogue.

Dear Annie: My 29-year-old daughter works at a large multinational corporation. On numerous occasions and in different divisions of the corporation, she has heard antiJewish comments. In fact, at one event, she was so upset by what was being said at a group dinner that she had to leave the table for fear she would cry.

For whatever reason, she chooses to remain silent when these remarks are made.

We are Jewish, and her grandparents were Holocaust survivors. I have told her she needs to speak up, but she doesn’t want to make waves.

It pains me to know that my daughter is working in an environment where the employees have no qualms about displaying their bigotry, and that anti-Semitism is alive and well in the USA. I am also upset that she lets these opinions go without challenging them or, at a minimum, telling the bigot that she is Jewish and such statements are inappropriate in the workplace.

Any suggestions as to what I could say to my daughter to convince her that it is her duty to confront the bigotry head on?
