Lawmaker questions salaries, positions at SRS

ing services at the Lawrence office can access them online or travel to other SRS offices in nearby cities. Lawrence officials have said this isn’t reasonable and will result in more people losing assistance, a heavier financial burden on local nonprofits, and an increase in crime.

Davis also questioned

whether the Legislature mandated office closures, and he criticized new executive hiring at a time when thousands of vulnerable Kansans will be affected by the SRS moves.

Former Lawrence police chief Ron Olin has resigned his position as Kansas Athletics Inc. director of security and internal controls effective at the end of this month, according to an athletic department news release.

“I was asked to evaluate Kansas Athletics’ internal controls, policies and procedures, to identify weaknesses and suggest improvements,” Olin said in the statement, released Monday afternoon. “Since day one, I’ve been trying to work myself out of a job. I’ve done what I was asked to do and now, as a new school year is about to begin, I think it’s the perfect time to step aside and offer my services as a consultant.”

Olin’s salary with Kansas Athletics was listed as $115,000.

Former Athletic Director Lew Perkins hired Olin last September for the new position immediately upon

TOPEKA (AP) — A 50-year-old Arkansas man was under arrest Monday after a hazardous materials incident prompted the closing of about 20 miles of Interstate 70 west of Topeka.

The closing began about 1:15 p.m. Monday and the highway was not reopened until about 10:30 p.m.

Police in Junction City, about 60 miles west of Topeka, said the incident began when someone called 911 at midmorning Monday saying hazardous materials had been placed in a room at a Ramada Inn and the FBI should be called. The motel was evacuated while fire and hazardous material crews investigated.

The Topeka Capital-Journal identified the man as Christopher Spence, of Conway, Ark. Police issued a description of a suspect and vehicle, and the Highway Patrol stopped a pickup truck on I-70 west of Topeka. The truck had anti-government statements covering the top and sides, the Capital-Journal reported.

While the suspect was returned to Junction City for questioning by police and the FBI, the interstate was closed in both directions to keep other vehicles away as authorities inspected the truck.

Aerial views from TV news helicopters Monday evening showed a robot approaching the truck, its bed packed with containers of various sizes.

FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said the bureau’s hazardous materials vehicle was sent to the scene at the request of Kansas officials. She said late Monday night that no explosives were found in the truck.

announcement, Zenger indicated that he was still reviewing Olin’s position within the department.

“That’s a position that’s somewhat unique to an athletic department. He and I are talking about what that role can or may be,” Zenger said.

Olin has taught courses at KU since 1975 and also taught criminal justice at Haskell Indian Nations University. He also teaches classes to law enforcement officers on terrorism and counterterrorism. He had served in the Lawrence Police Department from 1971 to 2010.

Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony said Monday the department currently had no plans to replace Olin as director of security with a fullKMBC Photo time position.

Olin’s retirement as police chief, an off ice he held in Lawrence since 1987. Perkins ended up leaving his post 11 days later — a year earlier than he planned — and Olin continued to work Olin for the department under new Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger, who came to KU in February from Illinois State University.

“Ron Olin is a widely respected expert in his field,” Zenger said.

“Kansas Athletics benefited from his service over the course of this past year. We wish him well in his future endeavors and appreciate his on-going commitment to Kansas Athletics and the Lawrence community.”

Gov. Sam Brownback and SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. have said the offices must be shut down to cut $1 million in administrative expenses that was required by the Legislature.

They have said people receiv-

The Lawrence school district won’t be increasing its property-tax rate for the coming school year, even as the Lawrence school board plans to restore a handful of jobs, duties and services that had been cut in recent years because of declining government contributions.

And pay raises for teachers and other district personnel remain in the works.

Board members moved forward Monday night with plans for a $138.5

million budget for 2011-12, which would be up $18.8 million, or nearly 16 percent, from the $119.7 million in place for the past year.

But district officials cautioned that the total could Doll be deceiving. The district likely won’t spend that much during the coming 12 months, Superintendent Rick Doll said, and instead is “estimating high” on the revenue

side so that the district could spend the money if necessary or should it materialize.

Even with the projected increase in spending — renovation and maintenance projects would get $13.75 million for next year, up from $7.2 million during the past year — the district’s overall property-tax rate would be 59.445 mills, down 0.201 mill, or about one-third of 1 percent.

With each mill equal to $1 of tax for every $1,000 in a property’s valuation, the owner of a $150,000 home could expect to pay $979.43 next year in property taxes — enough to save

$3.47, or about 29 cents a month.

“It’s a move in the right direction, for sure,” said Randy Masten, who joined five other board members — Mark Bradford, board president, was absent — in endorsing the tax rate.

“We’re making the best out of a rather fluid and chaotic situation.”

The district’s proposed budget reflects a $3 million reduction in base state aid, as mandated in Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget and approved by the Kansas Legislature.

ever been cut in the district,” said Kim Bodensteiner, the district’s chief academic officer. “But these are higher-priority items.”

Also up on the list, but yet to be approved: $1,250 in pay raises — $250 to base salaries plus $1,000 in one-time payments — to each of the district’s 926 licensed educators, as proposed by district negotiators as they work with the Lawrence Education Association on a new master agreement for 2011-12. That would cost the district $1.16 million for the year.

Other raises are in the works, but not yet proposed, for district employees who are not covered by the master agreement.

No timeline has been set to approve a new master agreement, although negotiators plan to meet again Thursday.

Board members have scheduled a formal public hearing to review the proposed district budget at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 8 at district headquarters, 100 McDonald Drive, with formal approval of the budget to follow during their regular meeting later that evening.

includes spending $3.1 million from a savings account that the district had built up during the past several years and had expected to spend down by that amount during the next four.

But state law mandates that the $3.1 million be spent by the end of June, spurring board members Monday night to approve a flurry of budget additions — restorations, really — that include: ● $72,483 to restore a fulltime reading/math interventionist at Kennedy School and a half-time parent-involvement facilitator at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School. ● $105,000 to extend programs for at-risk students. ● $40,943 to an assistant principal job at each of two middle schools — Liberty Memorial Central and West — to full-time status. ● $108,966 to bolster special-education staff ing, where needed. ● $9,376 to restore four additional duty days for each counselor at Free State and Lawrence high schools.

Man to stand trial for Walmart robbery A Douglas County judge Monday ordered a 22-yearold Lawrence man to stand trial for a December robbery at Walmart and a failed scheme to try to set a Lawrence McDonald’s restaurant on fire.

District Judge Michael Malone scheduled an Oct. 24 trial for Lonnie S. Schaefer, who faces charges of aggravated robbery, aggravated arson and two conspiracy counts.

At a June preliminary hearing, prosecutors accused Schaefer of orchestrating a scheme to rob the money center at Walmart, 3300 Iowa, the night of Dec. 13 with William O. Patterson, 19, who has pleaded guilty and received nearly five years in prison.

Patterson admitted to using a plastic BB gun to rob a clerk.

Before the robbery, prosecutors COURTS say, Schaefer threw a bottle with flammable liquid inside it on the roof of McDonald’s, 1309 W. Sixth St., in an effort to create a diversion.

But the bottle only caused a small burn that wasn’t discovered until the next day.

Another man, Andrew Dean Schmutz, 21, has pleaded no contest to conspiracy to commit robbery because he said he served as a lookout for the robbery.

islature's directive is followed rather than closing local offices,” he said.

Davis' office asked for salary information of top level positions at SRS, comparing the spring of 2010, under former Gov. Mark Parkinson, and now.

Under Siedlecki, who was appointed secretary by Brownback, several new positions have been created, including a chief of staff, who is Jeff Kahrs, former chief of staff to former U.S. Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan. Kahrs is making $100,000 a year.

Another new position is filled by Anna Pilato, who is a deputy secretary heading a new faith-based initiative and making $97,500.

Siedlecki is earning $115,000 per year, while his predecessor, Don Jordan, was paid $112,742 annually. There is also a communications director and public information officer, earning a combined total of $100,000 per year. Last year, one person was the communications director at $70,000 and the public information officer position was vacant.

When he announced his new leadership team in May, Siedlecki stated: “We have assembled a team of experienced leaders who will focus on transforming SRS into an agency committed to improving the well-being of children and families, while remaining accountable to the taxpayers of Kansas through transparency and reform.”

In total, Siedlecki is spending $386,595 more on highlevel staff than the amount spent at the end of 2010, Davis said.

SRS has repeatedly said the Lawrence closure alone will save approximately $400,000, with most of that coming in rent.

But on Monday, SRS said that half of the projected savings would be in lost federal reimbursement funds that are currently paid to the state for administrative costs.

“It's all taxpayer money, so we are saving money,” said SRS spokeswoman Angela De Rocha.

And in another development, Davis questioned whether the Legislature, in its budget deliberations, intended for SRS to close offices.

The approved appropriations bill calls on SRS to make a cut of $1 million in the “Administrative Program,” but this line-item doesn’t include expenditures for office leases. SRS has a total budget of approximately $1.6 billion. Davis said there are other areas in the budget that SRS could look at beside shutting offices.

Additionally on Monday, an SRS memo obtained by the Lawrence Journal-World shows that Lawrence SRS office employees will not be able to transfer to the Topeka office, which is contrary to what SRS officials had initially said. The Lawrence SRS office has approximately 87 employees.

“The Topeka office is no longer an option for Lawrence staff to transfer to,” according to the memo.

“Based on the complexities of managing a county across two regions the decision was made to keep all Lawrence staff and cases in the current KC Metro Region and its remaining 5 off ices,” the memo says. “KCM region will retain all responsibility for DG cases (unless a customer requests that their case move to another region).”

U.N. to begin airlifting food to Somalia The U.N. will airlift emergency rations this week to parts of drought-ravaged Somalia that militants banned it from more than two years ago — a crisis intervention to keep hungry refugees from dying along what an official calls the “roads of death.”

The foray into the famine zone is a desperate attempt to reach at least 175,000 of the 2.2 million Somalis whom aid workers have not yet been able to help. Tens of thousands already have trekked to neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia, hoping to get aid in refugee camps.

Restarting the aid effort is a huge challenge for the World Food Program, whose workers were previously banned from the region by the al-Qaida-linked militant group al-Shabab. Fourteen WFP employees have been killed in Somalia since 2008.

Stalemate creates partial FAA shutdown House and Senate leaders exchanged blame Monday for the legislative stalemate that precipitated a partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration while making no overture to resolve the dispute.

The FAA’s operating authority expired at midnight Friday, forcing a partial shutdown of the agency.

Dozens of airport construction projects across the country have been put on hold and thousands of federal employees were out of work.

Air traffic controllers have continued to work, as well as FAA employees who inspect the safety of planes and test pilots. Transportation officials have said safety won’t be compromised. But it was unclear how long the FAA can continue day-to-day operations before travelers begin to feel the effects of the shutdown.

Poll: Household debt worries on the rise Just last fall, Americans were feeling better about their personal finances. Now they’re starting to worry more about how they’ll pay off debts as they feel the nation’s economic recovery wobbling.

With Congress deadlocked over how to deal with the national debt, household debt is causing stress for nearly half the country, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. One in five adults worries about debt most or all of the time. If they bought something on a credit card in the past month, more than a third say they won’t pay it off when the bill comes.

The increased stress represents a reversal from last fall’s AP-GfK poll, which found increasing confidence about personal finances. Debt-related stress is up 17 percent from that November survey, bumping such worries back up to levels seen in 2009 and in the spring of last year.

Postal Service looking to close offices The Postal Service is launching a study of thousands of local post offices for possible closure in an effort to save money.

The cash-strapped agency, which lost $8 billion last year, scheduled a briefing for today at which it is expected to announce the action.

Most of the approximately 3,600 offices that face reviews are in rural areas, but postal official say they are looking into alternate service, such as locating offices in local businesses, town halls or community centers.

In those cases the so-called Village Post Office would replace one to be closed.

The level budget does come at a cost to some area agencies.

County commissioners tentatively agreed to deny supplementary funding to the Lawrence Humane Society as

well as to the Lawrence Community Shelter, saying they think the city has the main responsibility for those COUNTY COMMISSION agencies.

County leaders making progress on 2012 budget

Company files new set of plans for site west of 6th St. Walmart Lowe’s is back.

After having one plan rejected in October, Lowe’s has filed a new set of plans to build a northwest Lawrence store, this one on vacant property just west of Walmart at Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive.

The company has filed a plan to build a 145,551-square-foot store at the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Congressional Drive.

“It is just a great site,” said Paul Werner, a Lawrence architect who is developing the plans for Lowe’s.

“It has all the existing infrastructure it needs. The streets, the traffic lights, the stormwater systems are already in place. You could grade the site and start building on it tomorrow.”

You could, but Lowe’s won’t.

The company will be required to rezone the property from its current apartment zoning to commercial retail zoning. In addition to the Lowe’s store, the plans also call for two smaller stores or restaurants — totaling about 7,500 square feet — near the corner of Sixth and Congressional.

About five acres of the 17-acre site will be reserved for future apartment development.

Lawrence-Douglas County planning commissioners are scheduled to hear the plan in September. The soonest city commissioners could consider the plan would be in October.

The wealth gaps between whites and minorities have grown to their widest levels in a quarter-century. The recession and uneven recovery have erased decades of minority gains, leaving whites on average with 20 times the net worth of blacks and 18 times that of Hispanics, according to an analysis of new Census data.

The analysis shows the racial and ethnic impact of the economic meltdown, which ravaged housing values and sent unemployment soaring. It offers the most direct government evidence yet of the disparity between predominantly younger minorities whose main asset is their home and older whites who are more likely to have 401(k) retirement accounts or other stock holdings.

The median wealth of white U.S. households in 2009 was $113,149, compared with $6,325 for Hispanics and $5,677 for blacks, according to the analysis released today by the Pew Research Center.

Those ratios, roughly 20 to 1 for blacks and 18 to 1 for Hispanics, far exceed the low mark of 7 to 1 for both groups reached in 1995, when the nation’s economic expansion lifted many low-income groups to the middle class.

OTHER DETAILS MENTIONED IN THE LETTER In a letter to city leaders from the Lawrence Firefighters Union dated June 29, Lt. Kathy Elkins, president of the International Association of Firefighters Local 1596, said the union desired to remove Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Chief Mark Bradford as sole authority to investigate internal and external complaints against fire personnel.

According to the letter, the union was also seeking: ● The city’s human resources department or City Manager David Corliss to have oversight of all disciplinary actions.

● The immediate removal of department’s standard operating procedure entitled “Investigation of Complaints.” ● The drafting and approval of an investigation and disciplinary action policy for the department mutually agreed upon by the union and Corliss. ● A written explanation from Bradford and an apology to the department’s members in reference to how he allegedly handled discipline of a department member in connection with a June 1 incident, which was not specified in detail.

ance process against Bradford and that the union would be monitoring any attempts to retaliate against firefighters.

But Elkins and Toni Wheeler, the city’s director of legal services, said Monday that the allegations were being treated as a complaint, such as when someone raises an issue regarding a city staff person, instead of a grievance brought by a union.

“The allegations in the letter concern an investigation of a personnel matter,” Wheeler said. “The city as a standard practice does not comment on personnel matters.”

Bradford, when reached

Monday by phone, referred questions to Wheeler.

Elkins on Monday declined to provide more details about the allegations, saying City Manager David Corliss’ office was still conducting an investigation.

“We’re trying to work through the process and work with the city and try to get this resolved,” she said.

Elkins and Wheeler also declined comment Monday when asked if the firefighter referenced in the letter had been reinstated.

LYNDON (AP) — Attorneys have begun interviewing hundreds of potential jurors for a quadruple homicide trial in east-central Kansas.

James Kraig Kahler, of Columbia, Mo., is scheduled for trial Aug. 8 on four counts of capital COURTS murder in Osage County District Court.

He has pleaded not guilty.

He’s accused in the November 2009 shootings of his exwife, Karen Kahler; their two teenage daughters, Emily and Lauren Kahler; and his ex-wife’s grandmother, Dorothy Wight.

The killings happened at Wight’s home in Burlingame.

WIBW-TV reported that nearly 300 potential jurors were questioned Monday at Lyndon High School because the courthouse was too small.

Kahler, of Meriden, is a former city utilities official in Columbia, Mo.

Kansas University Hospital has received the highest nursing designation given by the American Nurses’ Credentialing Center.

It’s called Magnet.

The recognition means that KU Hospital is statistically proven to have: higher quality care, better patient outcomes, lower mortality rates, significantly higher levels of patient satisfaction, salaries typically above the average, excellent nursing recruitment, higher nursing retention, and greater consumer confidence.

KU Hospital was the first Kansas-based hospital to receive the recognition in 2006. Appraisers returned in late March of this year as part of the recredentialing process.

Only 6 percent of the nation’s hospitals achieve Magnet status.

The only other Kansas hospital to earn Magnet status is Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka, and it was done in 2009.

didn’t repeal the law that created the commission and allowed the governor to appoint its 12 members. Last week, he filled six vacancies on the commission, having appointed a new chairwoman in June.

Brownback sees his veto as a cost-saving that preserves money in tight budget times for “core” government functions, such as aid to public schools, social services and public safety. But his administration isn’t conceding that the move will lead the National Endowment for the Arts to cut Kansas off and redistribute federal dollars to other states.

“If Kansas tax dollars are going to be collected and redispersed through the NEA, then Kansas should receive its fair share,” said Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Sontag-Jones.

But commission member

Henry Schwaller IV, of Hays, whose three-year term doesn’t expire until 2013, noted that NEA guidelines require states to put up matching funds to receive federal dollars. He said he believes that if the state can’t draft a new plan within the next month to support the arts, Kansas will be disqualified — and he doubts the commission can come through.

“We’re running out of time,” he said. “We’re really at a very difficult point — not unexpected, just unfortunate.”

Both the NEA and the MidAmerica Arts Alliance, in Kansas City, Mo., say Kansas isn’t eligible for their dollars after Brownback’s action.

The NEA hasn’t ruled out the state becoming eligible again, but earlier this month a national group, Americans for the Arts, urged the NEA to cut Kansas off.

Audit: Streets enduring wear and tear better

By Chad Lawhorn

“

They are lasting longer. The changes Lawrence streets really are should produce better better than they used to be.

A new audit out of streets, but it is going to Lawrence City Hall has found take awhile.” clawhorn@ljworld.com

that changes to design standards made by the city in 2003 have improved the quality of city streets.

“They are lasting longer,” said City Auditor Michael Eglinski, who conducts performance audits of topics selected by the City Commission. “The changes should produce better streets, but it is going to take awhile.”

Commissioners ordered Eglinski to study whether the city’s current design standards for streets are providing the city with a better product. Eglinski said they are, and to understand why, you need to understand fly ash.

Fly ash is a byproduct of burnt coal from power plants, and when you mix it with water it becomes hard like concrete. The city of Lawrence now requires that fly ash be mixed with dirt to create a solid base for new streets. But it wasn’t until 2003 — about the time that Public Works Director Chuck Soules joined the city — that the city began requiring the base-stabilizing product. The

— City Auditor Michael Eglinski result has been that older streets have bases that are prone to settlement and movement, and are difficult to keep in smooth driving condition.

In addition, Eglinski also found that the public works department is doing a good job of monitoring the bestpractices of road design to ensure that the city doesn’t fall behind the curve again.

The audit, however, does not attempt to answer the question of why the city fell behind in the first place. The audit simply notes that the city changed its standards in 2003 but that “some other area communities had raised their standards years before Lawrence.”

As for what the audit did find: ● The audit compared streets built in 2002 without the fly-ash and streets built in 2003 with it. The report found that 76 percent of nonresidential streets built with-

out the fly-ash treatment had potholes. That compares with 41 percent of the streets that were built using the treatment. ● Based on current pavement data — collected by public works employees who inspect and rate the condition of each street in the city — nonresidential streets built with the fly ash treatment are expected to last 25 to 40 percent longer before they need crack sealing, microsurfacing or mill and overlay. ● Only 10 percent of the 205 miles of streets built in the 1980s and 1990s had a flyash treated subgrade. In the last decade, 70 percent of newly built streets have treated subgrades. ● Public Works officials are monitoring street conditions and construction standards more closely and are implementing more frequent changes in construction standards. For example, last year the city changed its construction standards related to the use of recycled asphalt after officials began noticing the material seemed to be wearing at a much faster rate than standard asphalt. Since 2009, the city has been hosting an annual meeting with area contractors during which the city communicates changes to design standards.

Eglinski’s only recommendation for the city was to create a formal policy on how to maintain brick streets. The city for years has struggled with whether they should rebuild those streets as brick or whether they should be replaced with traditional asphalt or concrete. It is definitely a money issue. Brick streets cost about three times as much to build as a conventional street.

City Manager David Corliss, in his response to the audit, said he agrees that a policy should developed. He said that one option could be that numbered streets that run east/west could be rebuilt with concrete or asphalt, while brick streets that run north/south could be rebuilt with brick. Those north/south streets tend to be more residential in nature, Corliss noted.

Plus, he said the bricks from the east/west streets could be salvaged and used in rebuilding the north/south streets.

Expect that idea, or something like it, to be presented to the City Commission in the future.

City commissioners tentatively are scheduled to review the findings of the audit at their Aug. 2 meeting.

Lowe’s CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Last October city commissioners balked at a plan to build a Lowe’s store east of the most recent proposed site — in the Bauer Farm development near Sixth Street and Folks Road. Commissioners expressed concern that the store would have been too close to Free State High School and that previous plans for the property did not call for a big box development.

The new site is farther from Free State High. But the property was not planned for retail development, and city commissioners in the past have pointed to vacant property that already is zoned for retail development just one mile west at Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Traff icway. Lowe’s off icials, though, have repeatedly said that site does not have enough residential development near it to make it feasible for a Lowe’s at this time.

The new site was not available on the real estate market last year when Lowe’s came forward with the Bauer Farm proposal. At that point, the project was still owned by a company seeking to build a retirement community. But in — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be recent months, an area bank reached at 832-6362.

New KU police cars to feature student design

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

Kansas University Public Safety just got a new ride: a 2011 Dodge Charger with a student-designed logo.

The new car arrived last week, and is one of four replacing the four 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Interceptors in use. Those cars, each with about 80,000 miles, will join the unmarked fleet, replacing the 2004 vehicles currently used.

The cars each cost $21,600, according to the state’s purchase contract.

Chris Keary, assistant chief for KU Public Safety, said the Charger’s six-cylinder engine had best available fuel efficiency — 18 mpg city, 27 highway — and could use E-85 gasoline, a cheaper alterna-

tive.

“And the bottom line is it turned out that the Chargers with the V-6 engines were cheaper than the Crown Victorias,” Keary said.

Keary added that having vehicles noticeably different from other local agencies gives KU police a distinct image.

“We like to emphasize that we are not the Lawrence Police Department; we are the University of Kansas police,” he said.

KU Public Safety teamed up with Jeremy Shellhorn, a graphic design professor at KU, to let students design the car’s graphics. A combination of designs by George Ressler and Andrew Joseph Meier were chosen.

Kansas brothers discover fossil of possible new type of dinosaur Staff and Wire Reports

Two Kansas fossil hunters say they think they found something new while digging in Montana.

Jim Kirkland, a state paleontologist at the Utah Geological Survey, has examined photos of the fossil that Robert and Alan Detrich are uncovering and said it looks like a new type of ankylosaur.

The low-slung, heavily armored dinosaurs lived around 65 million years ago and munched on plants.

“This thing is worthy of note. There is no doubt about it,” said Kirkland, who specializes in ankylosaurs. “In my mind it’s clearly a new one.”

The brothers have been digging since May in a fossilrich area near the town of Jordan. They’ve uncovered the ankylosaur fossil’s skull, part of its leg, ribs, armored plates and some vertebrae.

Kirkland said it appears the creature measured about 30 feet long before its death, making it the biggest ankylosaur he had ever seen. He said typical ankylosaurs were 16 feet long, with one type, the ankylosaurus, measuring 20 feet.

currently set aside in the county budget ranging from $10,000 to $46,000.

The 1 percent cost-of-living adjustment was made possible by cuts to a digital transition radio fund for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s

“It’s huge,” said Robert Detrich, who discovered the fossil. “It’s bigger than any of the specialists have seen so far. It’s got everybody pretty excited.”

Kirkland and the Detrich brothers hope a person or institution will step forward to buy the fossil for a museum, which would allow for further study to determine if it is indeed unique. The effort would involve cleaning the fossil and comparing it against related animals to make sure it isn’t just a variation of a previously discovered dinosaur.

Public display in a museum would also allow the brothers to seek naming rights should the fossil prove to be a first.

Robert Detrich said, if given the opportunity, he would like to call it “enormasaurus” in honor of his late mother, Norma.

“It’s exciting,” Robert Detrich said. “It really is. When he came back and said it’s pretty clearly a new genus, and these guys write papers on ankylosaurs so they know their stuff.”

Robert Detrich, who is from Wichita, and his brother, who lives in Lawrence, plan to return to Kansas in

about three weeks. Besides the ankylosaur fossil, the brothers also have been digging up a triceratops fossil.

“It’s been a remarkable summer,” he said.

Alan Detrich is the creative mind behind Detrich Intelligent Designs, billed as “spreading the word about Jesus through art.” His pieces have been displayed in Lawrence during the annual Outdoor Downtown Sculpture Exhibition and at the Lawrence Public Library.

Alan Detrich says that many of his works, including “Resurrection,” a 6-foot-4 statue of Jesus with a dinosaur curled at his feet, are made from fossil fragments of dinosaurs, which he regards as “God’s earliest creations.”

He says that he’s been searching for such fossils for more than 20 years and that his finds that have sold for millions of dollars and have included a complete Tyrannosaurus rex, located on private land in South Dakota.

Some of his finds, he says, have made their way into collections of museums in Vienna, Austria; Belfast, Northern Ireland; Seoul, South Korea; and Tokyo.

Off ice. Commissioners chose to cut the funds because it was not yet clear how much the transition would cost. The law mandates that all radio transmissions be in digital format by 2018. Money saved from cutting the radio fund will cover the $177,702 the employee pay increase requires.

Commissioner Nancy Thellman said it may be diffi-

cult to hold the line on the mill in the 2013 budget, considering the economy and the cuts that have been made at the state level.

The final budget is scheduled to be approved during a 6:35 p.m. public hearing Au g . 10 a t t h e D o u g l a s County Courthouse, 1100 Mass.

I think the neighborhood would love to have a Lowe’s out here, but it needs to go farther west where the city has planned for it. To put it at this site will add to traffic concerns.”

— Gwen Klingenberg, Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods president, and a resident of a neighborhood near the site the site, said it was too early to tell how neighbors would react.

She said there are residents who definitely want a Lowe’s in the area, but she said concerns remain that the city is allowing too much retail development near the Sixth and Wakarusa intersection.

“I think the neighborhood would love to have a Lowe’s out here, but it needs to go farther west where the city has planned for it,” Klingenberg said. “To put it at this site will add to traffic concerns.”

Developers, though, will argue that the road system in the area has been designed to accommodate retail development. A study by a private engineer hired by the development group found that the Sixth and Wakarusa intersection is operating at 33 percent of its capacity, and the Sixth and Congressional intersection is operating at 18 percent of its capacity. The engineer estimates that Lowe’s would increase traffic volumes at the intersections by 25 percent.

Culprit of deadly Norway rampage held in isolation

By Bjoern Amland and Sarah DiLorenzo Associated Press Writers

OSLO, NORWAY — The selfdescribed perpetrator of Norway’s deadly bombing and shooting rampage was ordered held in solitary confinement Monday after calmly telling a court that two other cells of collaborators stood ready to join his murderous campaign.

Anders Behring Breivik, who has admitted bombing the capital and opening fire on a youth group retreat on an island resort, told authorities he expects to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Declaring he wanted to save Europe from “Muslim domination,” he entered a plea of not guilty that will guarantee him future court hearings and opportunities to address the public, even indirectly.

Norway has been stunned by the attacks and riveted by Breivik’s paranoid and disturbing writings. Hundreds thronged the courthouse, hoping to get their f irst glimpse of the man blamed for the deaths of 76 people — lowered Monday from 93. At one point, a car drove through the crowd and onlookers beat it with their fists, thinking Breivik might be inside.

Still, tens of thousands of Norwegians also defied his rhetoric of hate to gather in central Oslo to mourn the victims and lay thousands of flowers around the city.

Police believe Breivik, 32, acted alone, despite his grand claims in a 1,500-page manifesto that he belonged to a modern group of crusaders.

But they have not completely ruled out that he had accomplices.

Judge Kim Heger ordered Breivik held for eight weeks, including four in isolation, noting his reference to “two more cells within our organization.”

In an interview published

Monday, Breivik’s estranged father said he wished his son had killed himself instead of unleashing his rage on innocent people.

The outpouring of emotion stood in stark contrast to what prosecutor Christian Hatlo described as Breivik’s calm demeanor at the hearing, which was closed to the public over security concerns and to prevent a public airing of his extremist views. Hatlo said he “seemed unaffected by what has happened.”

Meanwhile, police revealed they had dramatically overcounted the number of people slain in the shooting spree on Utoya island, lowering the death toll there from 86 to 68. Police spokesman Oystein Maeland said police and rescuers were focused on helping survivors and securing the area, and may have counted some bodies twice, though he did not immediately explain how the

errors occurred.

Police also raised the toll from a bombing outside the government’s headquarters in Oslo from seven to eight.

The sharp reduction in the death toll adds to a list of police missteps: They took 90 minutes to arrive at the island retreat after the first shot and survivors who called emergency services reported being told to stay off the lines unless they were calling about the Oslo bombings.

On Monday, the force revealed its entire Oslo helicopter crew had been sent on vacation and thus couldn’t be mobilized to the scene.

By contrast, Breivik, who donned a police uniform as part of a ruse to draw campers to him, appeared in total control during the island rampage, police official Odd Reidar Humlegaard said.

“He’s been merciless,” Humlegaard said.

Opponents of same-sex marriage file lawsuit to overturn N.Y. law

By Yancey Roy McClatchy Newspapers

ALBANY, N.Y. — Same-sexmarriage opponents filed a lawsuit Monday to overturn the state law — just one day after same-sex weddings were celebrated around the state for the first time.

New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, which represents evangelical ministers, claimed in the lawsuit that the state Senate violated state laws and its own procedures when it forced through the same-sex marriage legislation in the final act of the 2011 regular session. The group is being represented by a Lynchburg, Va.-based Christian legal group affiliated with

the late Rev. Jerry Falwell.

The lawsuit contends the Senate gagged lawmakers who opposed the legislation from speaking, violated open meetings laws and didn’t require the bill to go through the proper committees.

“Constitutional liberties were violated,” said the Rev. Jason McGuire, the group’s executive director and one of three individual plaintiffs on the lawsuit. “Today, we are asking the court to intervene in its rightful role as the check and balance on an outof-control state Legislature.”

The suit asks the court to nullify the new law and void any marriages conducted to date. It was f iled in Livingston County, where

McGuire resides.

An aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who spearheaded the effort to legalize same-sex marriage in New York, called the lawsuit baseless. “The plaintiffs lack a basic understanding of the laws of the state of New York,” said Cuomo spokesman Josh Vlasto.

Observers pointed out that the lawsuit takes issue with practices that the courts have previously upheld, such as a governor’s ability to waive the ordinary three-day waiting period on voting for legislation by issuing a “message of necessity.”

A spokeswoman for state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, a Republican, declined to comment.

BRIEFLY Shooter in Ark. soldier killing sentenced to life LITTLE ROCK, ARK. — A man who killed one Arkansas soldier and wounded another — an act he called retribution for the deaths of Muslims abroad — took an unexpected plea deal Monday that abruptly ended his murder trial and spared him the death penalty.

Abdulhakim Muhammad has repeatedly said he drove up to a Little Rock, Ark., recruiting station, drew an assault rifle and fired on the two uniformed soldiers. On Monday, Muhammad stood before a judge and once

more admitted to the shooting that killed Pvt. William Andrew Long and wounded Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula.

The judge then sentenced Muhammad to life in prison without parole for capital murder, with 11 more life sentences on the remaining charges and an additional 180 years in prison.

Jackson tribute concert planned LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s mom and four of his siblings announced plans Monday for a tribute concert later this

year in Wales, but two of the late singer’s brothers say they oppose the timing of the show.

The pop singer’s mother, Katherine Jackson, and siblings La Toya Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Jackie Jackson and Tito Jackson said the show is scheduled for Oct. 8 at Millennium Stadium but did not reveal any performers.

Within hours of their announcement, brothers Jermaine Jackson and Randy Jackson released a statement that said they opposed the show because it will be held during the trial of a doctor charged in their brother’s death.

Back-to-back speeches show little indication of debt compromise

By David Espo Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — In unprecedented back-to-back appearances on nationwide television, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner clashed Monday night over the cause and cure for the nation’s debt crisis. The two men spoke as Congress remained gridlocked on legislation to avert a threatened default after Aug. 2.

Decrying a “partisan three-ring circus” in the nation’s capital, Obama assailed a newly minted Republican plan to raise the nation’s debt limit as an invitation to another crisis in six months’ time. He said congressional leaders must produce a compromise that can reach his desk before the deadline.

“The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn’t vote for a dysfunctional government,” the president said in a hastily arranged primetime speech. He appealed to the public to contact lawmakers and demand “a balanced approach” to reducing federal deficits — including tax increases for the wealthy as well as spending cuts.

Responding moments later from a room near the House chamber, Boehner said the “‘crisis atmosphere” was of the president’s making.

“The sad truth is that the president wanted a blank

House Speaker John Boehner

check six months ago, and he wants a blank check today.

That is just not going to happen,” the speaker said. “The president has often said we need a ‘balanced’ approach, which in Washington means we spend more, you pay more.”

Obama stepped to the microphones in the East Room of the White House a few hours after Republican lawmakers, then his own Democrats, drafted rival emergency legislation to head off a potentially devastating default.

The back-to-back speeches did little to suggest that a compromise was in the offing, and the next steps appeared to be votes in the House and Senate on the rival plans by mid-week.

Despite warnings to the contrary, U.S. financial markets have appeared to take the political maneuvering in stride — so far. Wall Street posted losses Monday but with no indication of panic among investors.

Without signed legislation by day’s end on Aug. 2, the Treasury will be unable to pay all its bills, possibly triggering an unprecedented default that officials warn could badly harm a national economy still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades.

Obama wants legislation that will raise the nation’s debt limit by at least $2.4 trillion in one vote, enough to avoid a recurrence of the acrimonious current struggle until after the 2012 elections.

Republicans want a twostep process that would require a second vote in the midst of the 2012 campaign with control of the White House and both houses of Congress at stake.

Monday night’s speeches were a remarkable turn in a six-month-old era of divided government as first the president, then his principal Republican opponents appealed to the nation in a politically defining struggle.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● Netflix Inc. is bracing for a backlash to its recently announced price hikes that could result in its slowest subscriber growth in more than three years.

The company’s sobering forecast Monday overshadowed its second-quarter earnings that easily topped Wall Street’s expectations.

Netflix’s shares plummeted by more than 10 percent, largely because the company expects its results for the current quarter ending in September to miss the targets set by industry analysts.

The shortfall stems from an anticipated slowdown in Netflix’s subscriber growth amid changes to its online video and DVD rental service that will raise prices by as much as 60 percent. It’s most radical change in the company’s pricing since it began renting DVDs through the mail 12 years ago.

Investors try to prepare for default as talks continue

By Bernard Condon, Matthew Craft and David K. Randall Associated Press Writers

NEW YORK — Scrambling to protect themselves against a U.S. default, investors are buying gold and foreign currencies, using derivatives to bet on a stock market collapse and taking out complicated insurance policies.

They may want to consider crossing their fingers.

If the United States suddenly stiffed its creditors, the impact would be so widespread, complex and unpredictable that it is next to impossible to shield against steep losses, experts say.

A default could cause turmoil in the stock and bond markets, plus a replay of the fear that froze lending in the depths of the 2008 financial crisis. In the chaos, investments you’d think were a sure bet to fall might rise instead, and vice versa.

Consider the assets at the heart of the crisis — Treasury bonds. You would expect interest rates on Treasurys to rise the closer Washington gets to missing a debt payment. Investors would demand higher rates because of the greater risk they wouldn’t get their money back. After Argentina defaulted in 2002, foreign lenders required higher rates.

But some bond traders are betting the opposite will happen. They think nervous money managers could rush into Treasurys if Washington

blows past the Aug. 2 deadline to raise the debt ceiling.

The buying would push interest rates lower.

The logic behind this seemingly illogical reaction: Treasurys are widely traded around the world, with plenty of buyers and sellers ready at a moment’s notice, a quality known as liquidity.

Investors like that, especially in a crisis, and may overlook fears of missed payments.

Gifford Combs, a portfolio manager at Dalton Investments, which manages $1.3B in assets, has been buying short-term Treasury bills for this reason. But he concedes he’s not sure what could happen in the event of a default.

“If there is a financial meltdown and panic, you don’t know where investors will go,” he says.

A second reason to like Treasurys: A default could help sink the economic recovery. Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at brokerage BTIG, thinks Washington is likely to continue paying interest on its bonds, keeping creditors happy even if it means gutting other government spending. The massive drop in government spending would then drag down the economy. And when economic growth looks grim, traders turn to Treasurys.

“No matter what happens, Treasurys are still the safe haven,” Greenhaus says. “No other market is as large or as liquid.”

Approval due Revised plans to rebuild the Dillons store on Massachusetts Street deserve approval.

A

fter working its way through a stack of requests from neighbors and city officials, the plan to rebuild the Dillons store on Massachusetts Street is back on the Lawrence City Commission agenda for final approval tonight.

Company officials have worked hard to address many concerns about this store, and their project should receive the city’s enthusiastic support.

It’s possible to find fault with just about any plan, but the proposal to rebuild this store represents a vast improvement over the existing store. The new Dillons will add many amenities, such as a drive-up pharmacy window and an outdoor dining area. These are services that will be an asset to the central city neighborhoods the store has served for many years.

Of course, it isn’t easy to fit everything Dillons wanted on such a limited footprint. The city was right to work with the store on reduced setback requirements and other compromises to allow Dillons to expand at its current site. Having the store closer to the street and facing north will take some getting used to, but the company has put considerable effort into landscaping, awnings, faux window recesses and other measures to make the exterior of the building attractive. Various barriers also have been added to protect neighbors from any unsightly exterior views.

Dillons has been working for many months to accommodate various requests and concerns from city officials and neighbors. Many companies might have just thrown up their hands and moved their store to another location entirely. The fact that Dillons continued to work through this process confirms the company’s commitment to Lawrence and particularly to serving the central part of the city.

It’s time to reward that commitment and effort and allow the construction phase to get under way.

Obama marginalizing himself on debt WASHINGTON — Between 6 p.m.

Friday and 4 p.m. Sunday, the nation began a constitutional course-correction. The current occupant’s vanity and naivete — a dangerous amalgam — are causing the modern presidency to buckle beneath the weight of its pretenses. And Congress is reasserting its responsibilities.

At his Friday news conferencecum-tantrum, Barack Obama imperiously summoned congressional leaders to his presence: “I’ve told” them “I want them here at 11 a.m.” By Saturday, his administration seemed to be cultivating chaos by suddenly postulating a new deadline: The debt-ceiling impasse must end before Asian markets opened Sunday evening Eastern time, lest the heavens fall.

Those markets opened; the heavens held. The faux deadline, reportedly invoked at a Saturday White House meeting by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who should resign, inevitably seeped into the media and invited overseas panic, thereby risking the nation’s currency, for brief tactical advantage.

Amid these tawdry episodes, House Speaker John Boehner signaled constitutional sanity regained: “Congress will forge a responsible path forward.” Congress. Obama has marginalized himself.

Inordinate self-regard is an occupational hazard of politics and part of the job description of the rhetorical presidency, this incessant tutor. Still, upon what

he was a lecturer “onWhen constitutional law, he evidently skipped the separation of powers doctrine.”

meat doth this our current Caesar feed that he has grown so great that he presumes to command leaders of a coequal branch of government? He once boasted (June 3, 2008) that he could influence the oceans’ rise; he must be disabused of comparable delusions about controlling Congress.

When he was a lecturer on constitutional law, he evidently skipped the separation of powers doctrine. But, then, because this doctrine impedes the progressives’ goal of unleashing untrammeled government, they have long loathed it: Woodrow Wilson, the first president to criticize the American founding, considered the separation of powers the Constitution’s “radical defect.”

It has, however, rescued the nation from Obama’s preference for a “clean” debt-ceiling increase

that would ignore the onrushing debt tsunami. There are 87 reasons for Obama’s temporary conversion of convenience to the cause of spending restraint — the 87 House Republican freshmen.

Their inflexibility astonishes and scandalizes Washington because it reflects the rarity of serene fidelity to campaign promises.

Obama — a demagogue for an age of smooth surfaces; Huey Long with a better tailor — pretended Friday to wonder whether Republicans “can say yes to anything.” Well.

House Republicans said yes to “cut, cap and balance.” Senate Democrats, who have not produced a budget in more than 800 days, vowed to work all weekend debating this. But Friday they voted to table it, thereby ducking a straightforward vote on the only debt-reduction plan on paper, the only plan debated, the only plan to receive Democratic votes.

Obama’s last venture into public specificity was his February budget, which proposed accelerating the nation’s descent into debt.

It was rejected by the Senate 97-0.

Although histrionically impatient with Republicans’ refusal to accept certain measures, Obama insists he will “not accept” a debt-ceiling deal that does not increase income taxes. Surely this is the meaning of his July 11 words: “I do not want, and will not accept, a deal in which ... I’m able to keep hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional income that I don’t need.”

To understand Republican distrust of him, consider, from the many examples of his paltering with the truth, his July 15 news conference, wherein he veered from the subject of the debt ceiling to say “I’ve got three trade deals ready to go” yet they are “being held up because some folks don’t want to provide Trade Adjustment Assistance to people who may be displaced as a consequence of trade.” The facts are: TAA, which has existed since 1962, enjoys bipartisan support.

The 2009 stimulus increased it, supposedly temporarily, and it did revert to pre-stimulus levels in February. Now, however, Democrats suddenly insist that TAA’s stimulus levels be made permanent.

Obama’s wee mendacity about TAA illustrates the large stakes of the debt debate, which is a proxy for an epochal argument about the nature of American governance.

Obama’s money gusher has driven federal spending from under 20 percent of GDP to almost 25 percent. Democrats consider this the new normal — until it becomes the base from which they launch their next surge of statism.

This fact refutes those who loftily dismiss the debt-ceiling debate as much ado about not very much. And those who are loftily contemptuous of today’s supposedly “dysfunctional” Washington have forgotten that the branches of government are supposed to be jealous rivals.

Struggling OAS still needed The 34-country Organization of American States is better known for its cocktail parties than for its contributions to mankind, but congressional Republicans may have been drunk last week when they voted to end all U.S. funding to the regional institution.

The Republican-controlled House Foreign Affairs committee passed an amendment to cut the entire $48.5 million annual U.S. contribution to the OAS, alleging that it has become a tool of Cuba, Venezuela and other leftist regimes.

The amendment was approved in a party-line 22-20 vote, along with four other initiatives, including one that would cut foreign aid funds for Argentina, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Bolivia.

The two measures are highly unlikely to be passed by the Democratic-controlled Senate, but the amendment’s passage in the House has sparked a fierce debate in Washington over the OAS. Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fla., the hard-line chair of the committee’s Western Hemisphere Subcommittee who sponsored the amendment, says that “the OAS has become an anti-democratic and destabilizing force in Latin America. In these difficult fiscal times, we cannot afford to fund an organization that does not work in the national interest of the United States.”

Democrats are shaking their heads in disbelief. Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., the subcommittee’s ranking Democrat, told me that the OAS amendment amounts to “foolish” isolationism.

“It would hurt U.S. policy, it would hurt our standing in the region, and it would play into the hands of those who hold ill will toward the United States,” he said, noting that Washington has no presence in other regional institu-

“

The OAS is one of the few places where Washington can sit together with most countries in the region, friends and foes alike.” tions, such as the recently created UNASUR. “We would be hurting the organization in which we have most influence.”

OAS Secretary-General Jose Miguel Insulza told me in an interview that the fact that the OAS is being criticized by both radical leftists in Latin America and rightwing U.S. congressmen proves that “the extremes come together.” He added, “We are at the center, trying to reconcile all countries in the region.”

Insulza’s OAS is also under fire from very different quarters — the human rights community. International human rights groups say Insulza is trying to weaken the semi-independent OAS Human Rights Commission, which is — alongside the OAS’s Costa Ricabased Human Rights Court — the institution’s most effective and prestigious agency.

Jose Miguel Vivanco, head of the Americas’ Department of Human Rights Watch, told me that

Insulza is heading “an offensive to reduce the commission’s independence” by opposing a move to formalize its authority to pick its chairpersons. Insulza says he will appoint whomever the commission suggests as its upcoming president, but under OAS rules, he can’t approve a move to give the commission permanent rights to do so in the future.

On a positive note, the House Foreign Affairs Committee passed a bipartisan amendment sponsored by Engel and Mack that calls on the State Department to open embassies in five small Caribbean countries — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis and St. Vincent and the Grenadines — where the United States has no diplomatic missions.

My opinion: The Republicancontrolled House Foreign Affairs Committee, presided over by Rep. Ileana Ros Lehtinen, R-Miami, lost its marbles by calling for cutting U.S. funds to the OAS. The OAS is one of the few places where Washington can sit together with most countries in the region, friends and foes alike.

At a time when China and the European Union are playing a growing role in the region — the Europeans in recent years created the Ibero-American Community of Nations in a little-disguised move to compete with the OAS — withdrawing from the OAS doesn’t make any sense.

Granted, the OAS is a monument to diplomatic frivolity and political theater, but it’s a muchneeded forum for the smallest countries in the region, and Washington needs it more than some of its foes.

To the editor: As director of the University of Kansas Cancer Center, I would like to express my dismay at the errors in Dolph Simons, Jr.’s column on July 17 — particularly those relating to the cancer center’s application for National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation on Sept. 25.

We will make our application on time, as our external advisory committee gave us the green light to do weeks ago. If I or anyone else in a leadership position with the cancer center had been consulted for this column, we would have made that fact abundantly clear.

We have had and continue to have remarkable stability in the leadership of the cancer center, which will be a major point in our favor in the NCI process. Hundreds of university employees are working tirelessly on this initiative, which includes the recruitment of additional top-flight cancer researchers. Tens of thousands of people in the region are supporting this effort because they know the benefits it will bring for patients.

The success of our application depends on a favorable review by our national peers.

Inaccurate reporting harms that effort. The state of Kansas and its citizens have invested a great deal of money and time in this cause, with one goal in mind: eliminating the burden of cancer for people in our area.

We are scientists who are judged on facts. We hope the publications that cover us are bound by the same standard.

Russia parallel?

To the editor: Some say it can’t happen here, but I’m beginning to wonder. I was in Russia in August 1998 when their central bank defaulted on its debt.

It was not pretty, and I recall long lines of Russians trying to get into the banks to withdraw their savings. They wanted to exchange their quickly depreciating rubles before they became worthless.

Like today, politics were involved, but mostly it was plain thievery (there is a difference!). Those with privileged access were able to preserve their wealth, while the majority lost most of their savings. Don’t want to spark a run on the banks, but if your faith in our political leadership is wavering, you might — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin want to shift your assets.

Kansas touts state sovereignty in defunding clinic

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press Writer

W I C H I T A — The state of Kansas defended a budget provision which defunded a Planned Parenthood chapter as a matter of state sovereignty, arguing in a court document that a proposed injunction would unconstitutionally replace the state’s discretion with the court’s judgment.

But Planned Parenthood has contended the Kansas statute unconstitutionally imposes additional conditions of eligibility for a federal program that are not required by federal law.

Which argument prevails will help determine whether U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten next week grants the preliminary injunction sought by Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

Planned Parenthood, which has received federal funding for the past 25 years, expects the new provision to strip it of about $330,000 in annual funding for its Wichita and Hays health centers that provide services to about 4,720 patients in Wichita and 960 individuals in Hays.

It contends the new law

likely will force it to close one or more health centers in Kansas. If the statute is allowed to stand, thousands of patients would face higher costs, less access to services and longer wait or travel times for appointments, the group said.

The state argued in court that other entities could provide the same services Planned Parenthood offers in Sedgwick and Ellis counties.

The court filings will set the legal groundwork for anticipated oral arguments at the Aug. 1 hearing on Planned Parenthood’s request for a temporary order barring the new statute from taking effect while its legal challenge to it works its way through the federal courts.

Little mention of abortion The state’s 55-page response filed Friday to that request makes little mention of the contentious issue — abortion — that arguably spawned the statute and the subsequent lawsuit.

Although none of the Title X federal funding for family planning that is at issue in the case goes to abortion services, Planned Parenthood contends the state budget provi-

sion represents a punishment for publicly advocating abortion rights. Their lawsuit also alleges the provision violates the organization’s rights to free speech and legal due process.

Planned Parenthood offers abortion services in Kansas only at its clinic in Overland Park, a Kansas City suburb, but also has clinics in Wichita and Hays that serve about 5,700 patients.

“The effect of this provision — and indeed, its purpose — is to prevent Planned Parenthood from participating in the Title X program because it performs or is affiliated with the provision of abortion services,” attorneys for the clinic wrote.

In its formal response, however, attorneys for the state argued that no legislative history exists from which one might ascertain “legislative intent” behind the statute. It notes the budget provision does not mention abortion.

Sovereignty vs. supremacy Attorneys for the state said in its lawsuit that the state does not now have a contract with Planned Parenthood. It noted it has entered into a contract with the Sedgwick

County Health Department to expand its family planning services and is negotiating with another agency.

“The proposed injunction would commandeer one of the State’s agencies, forcing the State to cancel past contracts and enter into new ones selected by the Court,” the state argued. “The proposed injunction would violate the State’s sovereignty and unconstitutionally replace the State’s discretion with the Court’s judgment.”

Attorneys for Planned Parenthood cited the Supremacy Clause in arguing that they are likely to win their lawsuit. It contended in its filing that the federal government may impose terms and conditions on money it distributes to the states and once the state chooses to accept the money under a voluntary program, such as Title X, the state is bound by the requirements the federal government established for those funds.

“Kansas is not the first state to target abortion providers in the Title X program,” the clinic’s attorneys wrote. “Courts have repeatedly rejected such efforts as violating the Supremacy Clause.”

KU QB Berglund pleads not guilty

BIG 12 FOOTBALL MEDIA DAYS

All eyes on Texas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

At a pre-trial hearing Monday morning in Castle Rock, Colo., Kansas University freshman Brock Berglund pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor assault charges stemming from an April 9 incident in which Berglund was alleged to have thrown a punch at another male.

The news was released via written statement from Berglund’s lawyer, Kevin McGreevy, early Monday afternoon. In it, McGreevy continued to emphasize that Berglund, 6-foot-4, 205 pounds of Highlands Ranch, Colo., “adamantly Berglund denies that he committed this misdemeanor assault.”

Berglund initially enrolled in classes in anticipation of participating in spring football, but decided to go home and take classes online. He did not take part in spring football drills. He has spent most of the summer away from Lawrence. Monday’s statement said that the three-star, dual-threat QB would report to preseason camp with the rest of the Jayhawks on Aug. 3.

In addition, McGreevy’s statement said Berglund would stand trial Dec. 13-14. The Jayhawks’ final regular-season game of the year is set for Nov. 26 against Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. The only way Berglund would miss time from the team because of the trial would be if the Jayhawks become bowl-eligible.

KU media guide revealed Last year’s media guide featured a smiling Turner Gill with his arms folded and a few players kneeling around him.

This year’s guide, revealed for the first time Monday at Big 12 media days in Dallas, was a little more nondescript. Instead of using faces, the KU program has its “Believe” slogan as the focal point. The word, printed in bold, white block letters across the bottom of the guide, is set on top of a silhouette of KU players huddled together and underneath a close-up of the “Kansas” as well as the Jayhawk and the Adidas logo on the blue, mesh uniforms.

As for the back, it still has the mesh and the logos, but it also features the word “Belong” and a game-by-game look at KU’s 2011 schedule.

TEXAS LINEBACKER KEENAN ROBINSON ANSWERS questions during Big 12 media days Monday in Dallas.

Longhorn Network hot topic on Day 1

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

DALLAS — Those who stepped to the podium before him did their best to bite their tongues. Missouri coach Gary Pinkel chose not to.

Responding to questions about what was easily the most talkedabout topic at Day One of this year’s Big 12 media days at the Westin Gal-

leria, Pinkel left no doubts about how he felt about the birth of The Longhorn Network and the desire of its creators to televise high school games along with University of Texas athletics.

“First of all, I have no control over that,” said Pinkel, beginning with a paraphrased version of what the rest of the league’s football coaches said throughout the day.

Then came the hammer.

“It’s a lack of common sense there to think that the network, the university network, can show high school games on their network,” Pinkel continued. “To me, there’s no common sense there.”

Right or wrong, Pinkel, who later in the day called the same thought “ludicrous,” was by far the most outspoken coach about the

Mizzou DE: ‘No rivalry compares to KU’

Berglund not pictured It will take a while to flip through the entire media guide to pull out all of the best parts, but one interesting element that jumped out right away was the absence of Berglund’s photo.

KU officials said in June that Berglund had been in town to have his photograph taken for the media guide.

However, no such photo appears. Berglund’s entry is complete other than the missing picture.

MISSOURI SAFETY KENJI JACKSON, LEFT, AND DEFENSIVE LINEMAN JACQUIES SMITH JOKE around during Big 12 media days Monday in Dallas.

DALLAS — A few years ago, Missouri left tackle Elvis Fisher viewed Florida vs. Florida State as the fiercest rivalry in college football. Understandable, considering the 6-foot-5, 295-pound senior grew up in nearby St. Petersburg, Fla. After three years of playing at Missouri, though, Fisher’s idea of the most bitter rivalry took a sharp turn and headed West of the Mississippi River.

“MU-KU is even bigger,” Fisher said Monday during Big 12 football media days at the Westin Galleria.

Fisher, alongside MU coach Gary Pinkel and teammates

Football’s back: 18-week NFL lockout over W A S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — After months of public nastiness and private negotiations, of court filings and rulings, of players and owners squabbling over more than $9 billion a year, NFL fans finally saw the handshake and heard the words they awaited: “Football’s back.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith

both used that phrase while standing shoulder-to-shoulder Monday, announcing their agreement on a 10-year deal to end the lockout that began in March.

Then came what may truly be the lasting image of the dispute’s resolution: Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Jeff Saturday wrapped one of his burly arms around New England Patriots

owner Robert Kraft and enveloped him in a hug — a gesture that symbolized the acrimony’s end more than any statement could.

“I’d like, on behalf of both sides, to apologize to the fans: For the last five, six months we’ve been talking about the business of football — and not what goes on, on the field, and building the teams in each mar-

ket,” Kraft said. “But the end result is we’ve been able to have an agreement that I think is going to allow this sport to flourish over the next decade.”

Owners can point to victories, such as gaining a higher percentage of all revenue, one of the central issues — they get 53 percent, players 47 percent; the old deal was closer to 50-50. There’s also a new system that will rein in

Police eye suspects for opening-day mayhem LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two men charged with the severe beating of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodger Stadium are suspected of assaulting three other Giants fans at the opening-day game, a law enforcement official said Monday.

Detectives believe the other people were approached by suspects Louie Sanchez and Marvin

Norwood on the west side of the stadium on March 31.

Eyewitnesses told police they saw Sanchez assault at least one of those unidentified men, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

Sanchez has been charged with misdemeanor assault in connection with that incident. Detectives

believe both he and Norwood were involved in the other possible assaults, but no charges have been filed.

Sanchez also is accused of misdemeanor battery on a woman at the game. The official said the woman was wearing a Giants shirt and Sanchez threw something at her during the game.

WEDNESDAY

By Tara Sullivan The Record (Hackensack N.J.)

The NFL lockout is over, with a Monday afternoon peace accord that should have come with an accompanying warning: “Get ready for a wild ride.” The longest pause in league history gives way to the most frenzied stretch we’re sure to see in pro sports, a starting gun to a race suddenly transformed from marathon to sprint.

“Compressing about four months of work into two and a half weeks,” is how player agent Tony Agnone described it, calling his Monday night “already crazy.”

From dead silence to utter cacophony, the NFL is immediately alive with activity.

Welcome to the strangest byproduct of the work stoppage found at the intersection of owners’ greed and players’ resolve — a free agent period like none we’ve ever witnessed. The official opening of that previously locked negotiating window arrives at 10 a.m., and if we have learned anything after 130-plus days of lockout insanity, it’s this: Players deserve to enjoy the ride.

Players deserve to get onboard and cruise into the biggest paydays they can find. They earned that right after a display of solidarity few believed they had in them. They held out for their face-to-face spot across the negotiating table, a change in format the owners and players described Monday as a turning point toward resolution, and in the end, won far more one-on-one battles than they lost.

Snapshots of Monday’s detente ranged from the heretofore unimaginable (union chief DeMaurice Smith and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell smiling behind a shared microphone) to the unexpectedly poignant (Patriots owner Robert Kraft accepting a hug from player representative Jeff Saturday after Saturday’s moving tribute to Kraft’s late wife), and together they painted a memorable picture of the day sanity returned to the NFL. Now insanity is sure to reign, at least for the foreseeable future. Think about it.

Teams are rushing to get players prepared for training camp, which means getting physicals done to gauge conditioning, getting them set up with accommodations and schedules, delivering playbooks, etc.

But in the middle of formatting practices and meetings, teams also have to finalize their rosters, a process that opens this morning with no precedent to rely on.

Teams can re-sign their free agents, sign their rookie draft picks or sign undrafted free agents. But they also can talk with veteran free agents, even if they can’t actually sign them until 6 p.m. Friday, opening what is sure to be plenty of frenzied bidding wars and lots of burned up cellphone lines.

The results will be fascinating. Both sides are sure to make mistakes. Some owners will overpay for veterans; some free agents will panic and sign too quickly.

The wisest will attempt to take a deep breath, absorb the language of the new deal and figure out what’s best. But patience isn’t likely to rule the day.

There’s not enough time and there’s too much competition.

The owners would love to apply the brakes, if only to avoid escalating contract proposals, but they should be thankful for the amount of attention this shopping spree is about to draw. Every discussion of where top free agent prize Nnamdi Asomugha will land, every debate about where released prisoner/wide receiver Plaxico Burress will run his routes, every dissection of whether Tiki Barber has an NFL comeback in his aging legs erases the memory of the lockout fight the owners started.

The anger and frustration at what took so long to solve the labor pains continue to reverberate, intensified by the sunshine and rainbows offered up by Smith, Goodell and company.

The conciliatory mood was shared by all, and without doubt, fans will return in droves. After 130-plus days of inactivity, the frenzy is on. In other words: “Get ready for the wild ride.”

SAN FRANCISCO PITCHER BRIAN WILSON, CENTER, walks past Marine honor guards at the conclusion of a ceremony hosted Monday by President Barack Obama in the East Room of the White House honoring the 2010 World Series baseball champions.

Giants honored as ‘characters’ at White House WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is hailing the World Series champion San Francisco Giants as baseball’s “characters with character.”

He welcomed the team to the White House on Monday to celebrate the Giants’ 4-gamesto-1 triumph over the Texas Rangers in last year’s fall classic.

Obama was joined by California lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Giants great Willie Mays. Obama noted that Mays was a 23-year-old outfielder when the Giants last won the World Series.

He also singled out gangly pitcher Tim Lincecum, whose nickname is “the Freak,” and reliever Brian Wilson, famed for his foot-long beard and outlandish garb. The president said the Giants may be “a little different,” but “one thing they know is how to win.”

NFL Source: Chiefs’ pay restored KANSAS CITY, MO. — A person familiar with the situation says the Kansas City Chiefs have decided to restore employee pay that was reduced because of the NFL labor dispute, plus a 3 percent raise.

The raise would apply to everyone and be retroactive to March, a Chiefs employee told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there had been no official announcement.

Chiefs employees, including head coach Todd Haley and general manager Scott Pioli, had their salaries reduced up to 10 percent after the lockout started in March.

The Chiefs are expected to open their training camp in St. Joseph, Mo., later this week.

Favre comeback talk “speculation’ HATTIESBURG, MISS. — Brett Favre’s agent says talk of his client attempting another NFL comeback is just “speculation.”

Bus Cook said on Monday morning that Favre hasn’t talked to him about any sort of comeback and to his knowledge, Favre “hasn’t talked to anybody else about a comeback” either.

The 41-year-old Favre has insisted he’s done playing football, but after several years of flirting with retirement talk has spread he could return.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS UConn AD on way out?

STORRS, CONN. — The University of Connecticut’s new president confirms she has initiated an evaluation of the school’s athletic department, amid a report that she’s trying to buy out the contract of athletic director Jeff Hathaway.

Susan Herbst, who became UConn’s president in June, did not address a story by The Day of New London, which reported school and athletic department sources said she’s working on a deal that would have Hathaway leave UConn in the next several weeks.

Herbst said the school is evaluating issues including academic performance, NCAA compliance and fundraising.

Hathaway has overseen a period of unparalleled success among UConn’s sports teams, but he has come under fire recently after a series of problems within the athletic department including sanctions against the basketball team for NCAA violations, declining academic scores among male basketball players and a drop-off in donations.

UT officials defend Pearl firing KNOXVILLE, TENN. — Tennessee officials say they did not immediately fire former basketball coach Bruce Pearl after he revealed he lied to NCAA investigators because doing so would deter others from reporting misconduct.

The university’s official response to the NCAA’s 12 allegations of violations shows Pearl continued to cover up wrongdoings though, even after his job was spared.

The coach revealed on his own in July 2010 that he had lied the previous month about improperly hosting prospects at a Sept. 20, 2008, cookout at his home to NCAA officials investigating possible recruiting violations by he and his staff. Pearl’s contract was terminated on Sept. 9.

“Hield drained long threes, hit on pull-ups and even slammed home a missed shot.

Buddy Hield has made a splash in Las Vegas,” wrote Eric Bossi of Rivals.com.

Hield has a 3.8 grade-point average.

“You have to make it somewhere so you can be motivated — it’s about your mind and being driven,” Hield told cbssports.com. “I’ve thought about academic reputation with schools. I want to help my family eventually and be a pro, to earn a job.”

Hield plans to make up to five official campus visits this fall.

Pressed to expand, Sherman went a little deeper, but not nearly to the level of Pinkel.

“I would hope the NCAA would look at it objectively and come to the conclusion that many have,” Sherman said. “That may be an enticement for a young man to attend a university.”

While The Longhorn Network’s plans and mere existence have ruffled a few feathers, the questions surrounding the new network — scheduled to launch Aug. 26 — only scratched the surface of topics at the first Big 12 media day in which the number of teams in the league did not match the number in the name.

Absent were Colorado and Nebraska, former members of the Big Eight, who bolted for the Pac-12 and Big Ten, respectively, this offseason. In their place were a group of universities that, just one year ago, seemed completely unified, and now is facing all-toofamiliar questions about the future. Though many of the coaches in attendance Monday admitted to keeping one eye on what’s happening with The Longhorn Network, none seemed overly concerned about its impact on the conference’s well being.

“My antenna went up when I heard about that situation,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. “But I have faith in the ADs in this league and in the Big 12. We’ll make the right decision on that.”

Added Baylor coach Art Briles: “Maybe I’m different on it. I don’t know. Do I worry about it? Not a bit.”

While the rest of the conference digs in to ensure that the already-powerful Longhorns don’t gain any unfair

advantages, UT coach Mack Brown continues to applaud his university’s efforts.

“Number one, I think you have to give credit to the regents at Texas, to president Bill Powers, for pulling off a partnership with ESPN and college football. What an unbelievable thing they did,” Brown said. “It’s amazing to me, and I’m very proud of them. I think you gotta give them credit. It was available to everybody.

And they pulled it off.”

In a more defensive tone, Brown continued: “I can tell by the work that we’ve put in in the first six months, it’s not going to be an easy partnership, because they’re paying us $300 million for access, and we gotta figure out how much access we can give them and not hurt our chance to have an edge to win the game. (ESPN) called me mid-summer and said, ‘We want to have your first scrimmage online. Everybody’s going to want to see it.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, Oklahoma, A&M, Kansas, Texas

Tech, they’re going to be sitting there grading our practice as we do it. We can’t do that.’”

One of Brown’s shortest soundbites on the topic may have best summed up the situation.

“In my opinion, it’s probably been a little bit overplayed,” he said.

Hours later, at a dinner reception in which Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe delivered a sort of state of the conference address, Brown’s calm demeanor was outdone only by the conference’s leader.

“We’re going to continue for a while to have to prove to our doubters that we’re here to stay, and we’re going to be a part of a tremendous landscape in intercollegiate athletics,” Beebe said. “We’re certainly going to have issues, like all conferences, but we’re a tight family that’s really come together from a marriage of convenience 15 years ago to a marriage of commitment.”

out an elite defense that ranked No. 1 in the conference and No. 6 in the country last season in scoring ‘D’ (allowed 16.1 points per game).

Kansas will open the 2011 season with little to no expectations after being picked last in the Big 12 in the preseason media poll. Second-year coach Turner Gill struggled to a 3-9 season in 2010. The rigorous schedule this year, including nonconference tilts against Northern Illinois and Georgia Tech, combined with a roundrobin Big 12 slate, suggests the Jayhawks’ record might not improve too dramatically.

“I’m still expecting 100 percent effort from those guys (Kansas),” Fisher said. “This is our rivalry game. I mean, they could lose every game and could come out and play their best game ever against us. We could also lose every game, and we’re going to bring our best game for KU. That’s just how it is. You can’t help it.

“I’m not looking ahead to that game (11 a.m., Nov. 26, Arrowhead),” Fisher continued. “But I know when it’s KU week.”

Today’s lineup: Texas Tech (11 a.m.), Kansas (11:20 a.m.), Iowa State (11:40 a.m.), Kansas State (noon) and Oklahoma (12:20 p.m.).

came on expanding the regular season from 16 to 18 games, which owners favored. That can be revisited for the 2013 season, but players must approve any change.

“Both parties were trying to stand their ground — and rightfully so,” said Vikings linebacker Ben Leber, one of the 10 named plaintiffs in the players’ antitrust suit against the league that will now be dropped. “In the end, against all the negativity that was out there publicly, they took their time and hammered out what I think is going to turn out to be one of the best deals in the history of sports.”

An interesting choice of phrase, given that Smith and some players grew fond of calling the owners’ last offer before talks fell apart in March “probably the worst deal in sports history.”

Here was Smith’s take Monday: “We didn’t get everything that either side wanted ... but we did arrive at a deal that we think is fair and balanced.”

Now comes frenzied football activity, starting immediately. Club facilities will open to players today, when 2011 draft picks and rookie free agents can be signed, and teams can begin talking to veteran free agents. Training camps for some teams may begin as soon as Wednesday.

“Chaos,” said Jets fullback Tony Richardson, a member of the NFLPA’s executive committee. “That’s the best word for it.”

Only one exhibition game was lost: the Hall of Fame opener between the Bears and Rams, scheduled for Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio.

so intense the two schools can’t even agree on the status of the all-time series. MU contends it leads, 56-54-9, while KU has the series knotted at 55-55-9.

The Tigers have the recent edge in the showdown, winning four of the past five contests, including a 35-7 drubbing of KU on Nov. 27, 2010, in Kansas City, Mo. For the past four years, Arrowhead Stadium has played host to the Border War. The series is scheduled to take place at Arrowhead through the 2012 season.

“I’d rather play it at Arrowhead just because it’s a neutral site in the middle,” Fisher said. “It’s great because it’s kind of like a bowl-game atmosphere when you go there. Everyone gets up for that, and it’s just a really good time.”

Missouri and Kansas enter the 2011 season with vastly different expectations.

onship team, has been forced to wait out the NFL lockout to get a shot with an NFL team as an undrafted free agent.

During normal years, players like Harris usually sign within a couple of days of the end of the NFL Draft in April. The lockout, which was lifted Monday, pushed back that timeline more than three months.

Blackmon doesn’t regret decision Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon was straightforward when asked about his decision to return to Stillwater, Okla., for his junior season instead of chasing millions of dollars in the NFL. “I had a lot of people telling me I was pretty dumb for coming back,” said Blackmon, who led the country with 20 touchdown catches last year, to go along with 111 grabs and 1,782 yards. “I don’t know … They’re (doubters) looking at the short term instead of the long term.

They’re thinking of the quick, easy money. They’re not looking at the big picture.”

Oklahoma State went 11-2 last season, recording the most victories in school history. The Cowboys have never won a Big 12 Championship.

“I know how great this team can be,” Blackmon said. “I know what goals we have set and what we’re all striving for … My goals are more teamoriented. I want to win the Big 12, and I want to have a chance to battle for a BCS Championship.”

Although he still has a long way to go before earning a spot on the Broncos’ roster, scouts have said good things about Harris, who had an excellent showing at KU’s pro day in March.

er, should continue with her counseling. She may wish to press charges against her brother. She has been sexually abused and will need ongoing help. Suggest to your son that he contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656HOPE (1-800-656-4673).

Dear Annie: We recently received a wedding invitation for a relative on my wife’s side, and it was addressed to “The Smith Family.” It is being held at a rather upscale location, but is within driving distance.

Besides the two children we have together, I have teenage children from my first marriage. Is it safe to assume they are included as guests? — Just Wondering Dear Just: If the teenage children live with you, chances are they are included.

But it’s never safe to make assumptions like these. Call

Three farms and not a fair in sight Intrepid filmmakers travel the world to document some less-than-bucolic conditions down on the farm. The “Vanguard” presentation “Tiger Farms” (7 p.m., Current) exposes the grim conditions in nature preserves in South Asia, where the once wild tiger is raised almost exclusively to supply China’s insatiable black market demand for tigers and tiger parts. ● “Mugabe and the White African” on “POV” (9 p.m., PBS) was shot entirely in secret to protect the filmmakers from arrest, or worse. It chronicles the efforts of Zimbabwe’s dictator Robert Mugabe to seize the few remaining farms belonging to white residents as part of a “land reform” program.

The film shows how these efforts have distributed once-thriving farms to Mugabe’s flunkies and political allies, who have let them go to waste, ruining Zimbabwe’s agricultural economy.

One man, Michael Campbell, has refused to yield. At considerable risk to his own life, he has challenged Mugabe in international courts. An intimate and insightful film, “White African” asks hard questions about politics and race and shines a light on Africa’s torturous postcolonial ordeal. ● Farmers and cultivators of a different sort loom large in “The Pot Republic” on “Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS). California’s efforts to legalize marijuana for medical purposes have created a huge and thriving industry of homegrown product, supplanting the marijuana that used to be smuggled over the border.

the bride’s family and ask.

Dear Annie: “Help” said his adult daughter and wife were “enmeshed” and he was tired of the daughter’s never-ending phone calls. You didn’t have much sympathy and urged him to leave it alone.

Maybe that was the best response, but shouldn’t there be some limit to the time one’s spouse spends talking on the phone, especially if it is sapping the life out of the marriage?

My wife, “Doris,” is close to her mother and sister — too close if you ask me. They both call multiple times a day, and Doris never fails to answer.

Dear Annie: My son and I, on pretty substantial evidence, believe that my grandson is not only doing drugs but selling them, and was also selling his 14-year-old sister to his friends for sex.

My grandson is 19. His father threw him out of the house, and he left without taking any clothes or other belongings. He says he doesn’t need them.

These are both loved children who went to a religious grade school. But once they attended a public high school, somehow things went terribly wrong. My granddaughter is beautiful and bright, but is now sullen and uncommunicative. We all believed these kids were sweet, loving and good, and are stunned and heartsick. They have already been to a counselor. What else can we do? — Worried Grandmother Dear Grandmother: Please don’t blame the high school.

Plenty of kids attend public schools, and they don’t turn out like your grandson.

There’s not much you can do about a legal adult who no longer lives at home. His parents can report his drug and sex-trade business to the police if they so choose. Or they can urge him to get into rehab, although he doesn’t seem ready to make changes.

Your granddaughter, howev-

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Rangers go off on Twins, 20-6 The Associated Press

Rangers 20, Twins 6 A R L I N G T O N , T E X A S — Ian Kinsler homered and drove in four runs as part of the Rangers’ offensive barrage.

Kinsler had four of the Rangers’ league-best 27 hits.

Mike Napoli and Nelson Cruz also had four hits as all the Rangers starters had at least two except for third baseman Chris Davis, who was hitless in six at-bats.

Michael Young also went deep and had three RBIs for Texas, which had 18 runs by the end of the fifth inning.

Things were so one-sided that Michael Cuddyer moved from right field to the mound to pitch the eighth for the Twins.

Cuddyer gave up a double to Napoli, a bloop single to Mitch Moreland, and walked Kinsler with one out to load the bases.

But Cuddyer retired Elvis Andrus on a fly ball and David Murphy on a pop-up for a scoreless inning.

The last Twins position player to pitch was outfielder John Moses against California on July 31, 1990.

Indians 3, Angels 2 CLEVELAND — Jason Kipnis delivered his first career hit with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning to give the Indians a victory over the Angels.

Kipnis hit a 1-0 pitch from Hisanori Takahashi between first and second base to give the Indians their 11th home win in their last at-bat and break a four-game losing streak.

Tony Sipp (5-2) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win after Bobby Abreu’s two-run homer off Vinnie Pestano put the Angels ahead 2-1 in the eighth.

Angels closer Jordan Walden blew his seventh save in 30 tries.

Yankees 10, Mariners 3 NEW YORK — Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira each homered and drove in three runs, Freddy Garcia stifled his former team, and the Yankees handed the snakebit Mariners their 16th straight loss.

A rain delay of 1 hour, 57 minutes was the only thing that slowed this loss for Seattle. The game was barely under way when Teixeira crushed any pregame hopes Seattle had of jumping out early and snapping the streak, hitting a rare homer into the second deck in left field after Curtis Granderson walked in the first. In the third, Jeter hit his first homer since connecting for hit No. 3,000 on July 9.

He also tripled in the eighth.

National League Padres 5, Phillies 4 P H I L A D E L P H I A — Aaron Harang outpitched Cliff Lee, Chris Denorfia stole home, and San Diego beat Philadelphia for the first time in more than a year.

Harang (9-2) gave up four runs in six innings to help the Padres avoid a four-game sweep and defeat the Phillies for the first time since June 7, 2010.

The Phillies had beaten the Padres 10 straight times, their second-longest streak against them since winning 11 from 2004-06.

Lee (9-7) lasted only four innings, his second-shortest outing of the season. He allowed 10 hits, five runs and made a pickoff blunder that allowed Denorfia to steal home.

Heath Bell pitched the ninth for his 29th save.

After the Phillies staked Lee to a 1-0 lead, he unraveled in the second. Lee, who had allowed only three runs over 14 innings in his last two starts, gave up four in the inning.
