KANSAS LEGISLATURE

Few tickets issued to texting drivers

Committee to start vetting Brownback decisions

Recently passed law ‘tough one to enforce’

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

It’s been more than nine months since Kansas law enforcement officers got the go-ahead to ticket drivers for sending text messages while driving.

But the law has been used sparingly so far in Lawrence and Douglas County, according to court records.

Kansas Highway Patrol troopers and sheriff’s officers have issued tickets in Douglas County District Court to eight drivers this year, and in Lawrence Municipal Court police officers have ticketed 15 drivers under the law.

“It’s a real concern to us.

It’s a real danger,” said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a sheriff’s spokesman. “But it’s a tough one to enforce, so I think educating all of those electronic-device users is necessary.”

When the law took effect, state transportation and law enforcement officials touted it as a tool to try to combat the major distraction that leads many drivers to taking their eyes off the road for seconds at a time.

But so far — at least on Douglas County roads and highways — most of the texting tickets were issued after an accident and a driver admitted to sending an electronic message just before or during the crash.

A 16-year-old Lawrence girl, who was not injured, was cited for texting Sept. 10 after she rolled her vehicle on Kansas Highway 10 east of Lawrence.

Before that accident, district court had processed seven tickets under the texting law this year, five of which occurred after crashes, said Jacy Wolfe, who handles traffic issues in the court clerk’s office.

Information was not available last week on how many of the 15 texting citations in Lawrence Municipal Court occurred after traffic accidents.

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said one person was convicted for violation of a texting law in a recent trial.

The ticket carries a $60 fine

ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD SAVANNAH BECKERMAN, Kansas City, Mo., concentrates as she nets a monarch butterfly Sunday at the Prairie Park Nature Center, 2730 Harper St. far and that most participants caught butterflies.

Emma Wedel, 5, and her grandparents had especially good luck and caught two monarchs. As she released the butterfly, blowing it a kiss as it flew away, her grandparents explained how much the Baldwin City child loves the nature center.

“We brought her here when her little sister was born to keep her occupied and involved with something,” said Debby Wedel, Emma’s grandmother. “When we got the call that her little sister had

arrived, we couldn’t get her to leave.”

Residents unable to attend Sunday’s event can still participate in the tagging program.

The nature center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. It is closed Mondays. Monroe advised calling ahead. The tag and certificate cost $1. For more information, call the nature center at 785-832-7980.

garten. Boosting gifted education. Selling portable classrooms.

The Lawrence school district’s movement of sixthgrade classes into middle schools this year has allowed elementary schools to stretch out, branch out and — at times — stop stressing out about their space needs.

“The kids actually get their playground back,” said Julie Donley, secretary at Hillcrest School, which bid farewell to one of its portables this summer thanks to the extra room inside. “It’s a lot more open.

The kids don’t have to worry about running into each other.”

Here’s a rundown of how each school handled the departure of their sixth-grade classes, moves that opened up space in each building: ! Broken Arrow, 2704 La.: Two open rooms are filled with two additional kindergarten classes that

Tag, you’re it! Kids help catch butterflies As the annual monarch butterfly migration takes the orange-winged insects through Kansas, Lawrence families caught and tagged butterflies at the Prairie Park Nature Center, 2730 Harper St., on Sunday.

During the Magnificent Monarch event, participants were given nets to catch the butterflies in the park to take them to be tagged.

Nature center volunteers placed a small sticker on the butterflies’ wings to help researchers trace their migration. Children then received a certificate, which included information on how to check if the butterfly is recaptured.

Holly Monroe, a nature center volunteer from Topeka, said that she was surprised by the number of monarchs that have reached Lawrence so

and about $100 in court costs.

Lewis said the law is difficult to enforce in rural areas because officers are usually either sitting stationary while monitoring traffic that is moving at a high rate of speed or patrolling on the road themselves while driving around 50 mph — faster than the usual 30 mph in urban areas.

While the law makes sending text, email or instant messages illegal while driving, it allows drivers to read, select or dial numbers so they can place a phone call while driving, making it often difficult for officers to tell the difference, Lewis said.

TOPEKA — A host of controversial decisions that have been made recently by Gov. Sam Brownback will be aired before legislators today.

“We need information and we need rationale for some of the decisions that have been made,” said Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, who is a member of the House-Senate Health Policy Oversight Committee.

The committee is scheduled to hear testimony from Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer on why Brownback returned to the fed- COMMITTEE MEETS eral government a $31.5 million The House-Senate Health grant that he earPolicy Oversight Commitlier supported. tee is scheduled to meet Brownback at 9 a.m. today in Room has said there 548-South in the Capitol. were too many strings attached to the grant that would have helped Kansas implement a health insurance exchange in compliance with the federal health reform law, called the Affordable Care Act. Rep. Brenda Landwehr, R-Wichita, and vice chairwoman of the committee, said she agreed with Brownback’s decision. Landwehr said implementation of the exchange “was a moving target.” She added, “Why should we put pressure on ourselves for a piece of legislation that we don’t believe in in the first place?”

Landwehr has led the charge at the state level to oppose the Affordable Care Act. Brownback, a Republican, voted against it when he was in the U.S. Senate and has said it should be repealed. The state of Kansas is a party to a legal challenge to the law.

But Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, also a Republican, has disputed Brownback’s too-many-strings complaint, saying that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had been extremely

— Julie Donley, secretary at Hillcrest School formed this year, with the addition of full-day kindergarten. An additional firstgrade class moved into a resource classroom, a program eliminated because federal stimulus funding no longer is available. “We’re utilizing every space in our building,” Principal Brian McCaffrey said. ! Cordley, 1837 Vt.: Two open rooms allowed for grade levels to relocate within the building and to accommodate an additional third-grade class this year.

The other open room now is occupied for resource programs, which previously had found space in a former principal’s office on the second floor or a staircase that leads to nowhere. ! Deerfield, 101 Lawrence Ave.: Three open rooms are

all spoken for, through rearranging to accommodate: a fourth third-grade class, plus special-education and gifted services. Relocating the programs opened other space for a sensory room and for a counselor to move out of a portable classroom, which has been sold. ! Hillcrest, 1045 Hilltop Drive: Two open rooms enabled relocations that ended with addition of a secondgrade class and elimination of a two-room portable classroom. ! Kennedy, 1605 Davis Road: The school’s one open classroom is spoken for with the addition of two classes — one for kindergarten and one for fifth grade — and the loss of one class for fourth grade.

HOW TO HELP

accommodating to states that had received the “early innovator” grants to work on the exchanges.

Praeger is scheduled to brief the committee on the status of the health insurance exchange, which under the ACA would serve as a one-stop shop for hundreds of thousands of Kansans to purchase insurance and determine eligibility for coverage subsidies.

Since Brownback returned the $31.5 million grant, the administration said work on the exchange will not go forward, but Praeger has said planning continues in her agency because, under the law, the exchanges have to be in place by 2014.

On another front, Brownback is catching heat from some in his own party for signing a contract worth $135 million to overhaul the state Medicaid computer system.

Brownback officials said the contract will make it easier to catch Medicaid fraud and determine eligibility for the program that serves more than 300,000 Kansans.

But critics, such as Rep. Charlotte O’Hara, R-Overland Park, said the mostly federally funded contract was just another step toward implementing the ACA. The Brownback administration has denied this charge, but state insurance officials say

Tickets part of the work under the contract will be making the system compatible with the ACA. In addition, shortly after Kansas announced the contract with Accenture, the technology services company settled a $63.7 million lawsuit with the federal government.

The company was accused of fraud, bid-rigging and taking kickbacks. Accenture denied the allegations but said it was settling to avoid more costly litigation.

Colyer is also scheduled to give an update on his effort to reform Medicaid, the $2.8 billion federal-state funded program. Brownback has said the state must find ways to deliver Medicaid services at reduced cuts. Critics fear that Brownback’s plan will result in more needy Kansans not getting assistance.

The committee also is expected to hear from Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. on the effect of SRS office closings on caseloads and Medicaid application processing times.

When announcing on July 1 the closing of nine SRS offices, Siedlecki said those served by the offices could travel to nearby cities or access services online.

The closure announcement caused a public uproar, and local officials in several of the affected cities, including Lawrence, came up with local tax funds to keep the offices open for at least two years.

“It’s not any more difficult than any other laws we enforce,” said KHP Technical Trooper Josh Kellerman, who ticketed a man earlier this year for texting south of Lawrence after an accident. “We’re just trying to be a little more diligent, and we want to make sure 100 percent that it is a violation before we actually stop that vehicle.”

Law enforcement officers also said they hoped education about the issue could help deter drivers from texting or using features on their smartphones before they could face a ticket or,

even worse, cause a serious head-on collision. Kellerman said troopers handed out information about the dangers of texting and driving and the law last week at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson, for example.

Lewis said he encouraged people to download smartphone applications that can prevent them from sending text messages while they’re driving.

Kellerman said there’s an incorrect perception that it’s a problem only among younger drivers. While he said that it’s a major issue, adults are guilty of it, too. He said troopers while off duty often notice people texting when they are driving because generally people put down their phones when they see a marked police car

around, just like when people tend to slow down to the speed limit if they see an officer.

“That’s why we want the troopers enforcing it,” Kellerman said. “We just need to make sure 100 percent it’s a violation before stopping them.”

Lewis said that while the law may be difficult to enforce in some situations, he believes it brings awareness to the problem.

“The law is a very good law,” he said, “because it addresses one of the newest and most common and probably one of the most dangerous distractions that now occupy drivers.”

school psychologist and a social worker. # Prairie Park, 2711 Kensington Road: Two open rooms enabled a relocation to accommodate autism and special education programs in a room — instead of a conference room — and music therapy and special education in another. # Quail Run, 1130 Inverness Drive: Three open classrooms allowed for the school’s autism cluster program to relocate, opening up space for an additional thirdgrade class. One room is now a sensory room, with treadmills and other equipment and materials for students who need them; another room is a meeting room that doubles as the central meeting space for the Boys and Girls Club program at the school. # Schwegler, 2201 Ousdahl Road: The three open rooms are filled, as the school added a class in each of three grades: first, third and fifth. # Sunflower, 2521 Inverness Drive: Three open rooms allowed the school to

accommodate two additional kindergarten teachers, now that the school offers full-day kindergarten. The school also added a first-grade class and a third-grade class, meaning that an ESL classroom was split up and moved into two sites: a room in the library and a small office that had been used by a social worker, who retired. # Sunset Hill, 901 Schwarz Road: Two open rooms made room inside for both fifth-grade classes, which had been sharing a two-room portable outside.

The portable now is used for extended space art and as a special-education conference room and office space for the school psychologist. # Woodlawn, 508 Elm St.: Two open rooms spurred a reorganization that made room for an additional fourth-grade class, and to move music classes into the building from a portable classroom outside.

Organizations team up in fight against hunger

Throwing around the pigskin for a good cause

1 | YEMEN

Forces open fire on protesters Yemeni government forces opened fire with anti-aircraft guns and automatic weapons on tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in the capital demanding ouster of their longtime ruler, killing at least 26 and wounding dozens, medical officials and witnesses said.

After nightfall, Sanaa sank into complete darkness after a sudden power outage, as protesters took control of a vital bridge, halting traffic and setting up tents. Thousands of other protesters attacked government buildings and set fires to buildings they said were used by snipers and progovernment thugs.

The attack was the deadliest in months against protesters and comes as tensions have been escalating in the long, drawn-out stalemate between the regime and the opposition. The president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, left for Saudi Arabia for treatment after being severely wounded in a June 3 attack on his palace, raising hopes for his swift removal — but instead, he has dug in, refusing to step down.

Quake leaves 23 dead The death toll from a strong earthquake in northeastern India and Nepal climbed to 23 today, but police said the full extent of the damage in the remote region was not known.

The quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 6.9, struck at 6:10 p.m. Sunday local time, triggering landslides, damaging buildings and sending people rushing into the streets. The epicenter was in India’s Sikkim state near the border with Nepal, but shaking was felt across northern and eastern India and as far away as Bangladesh and Tibet.

At least seven people in India’s Sikkim state were killed and more than 50 injured, according to the state’s top official, Chief Secretary Karma Gyatso.

The north Indian state of West Bengal reported six deaths, and Bihar state reported three.

Nepal’s government said seven people died there, including two men and a child who were killed when a brick wall toppled outside the British Embassy in the capital, Katmandu. Nearly 70 people were injured, some of them seriously, and were in hospitals across the city.

Ex-IMF chief denies violence Dominique Strauss-Kahn broke his silence four months after a New York hotel maid accused him of sexual assault, calling his encounter with the woman a “moral failing” he deeply regrets, but insisting in an interview on French television Sunday that no violence was involved.

Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund and a one-time top presidential contender in his native France, also denied using violence against a French writer who claims he tried to rape her in a separate 2003 incident.

Throughout what appeared to be a heavily scripted 20-minute-long interview with French broadcaster TF1, Strauss-Kahn managed to come off as contrite even as the Socialist politician insisted he hadn’t forced himself on either of the women.

He said his May 14 sexual encounter with Nafissatou Diallo, an African immigrant who claimed that he attacked her when she entered his room in Manhattan’s Sofitel hotel to clean it, “did not involve violence, constraint or aggression.”

Research shows rise in child abuse An increase in child abuse, mostly in infants, is linked with the recent recession in new research that raises fresh concerns about the impact of the nation’s economic woes.

The results are in a study of 422 abused children from mostly lower-income families, known to face greater risks for being abused, and the research involved just 74 counties in four states. But lead author Dr. Rachel Berger of Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh said the results confirm anecdotal reports from many pediatricians who’ve seen increasing numbers of shaken baby cases and other forms of brain-injuring abuse.

Though this abuse is still uncommon, the number of cases in the counties studied increased sharply, rising from about 9 cases per 100,000 children in pre-recession years, to almost 15 per 100,000 kids during the recession — a 65 percent increase.

Museum throws Lawrence a birthday bash

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

The Watkins Community Museum of History hosted a birthday party for the city of Lawrence on Sunday.

Museum volunteers and community members celebrated the 157th Founders Day with birthday cake, crafts and photo displays.

Lawrence’s first residents founded the town officially on Sept. 18, 1854, for the New England Emigrant Aid Company.

On Oct. 8 of that year, residents voted to name it Lawrence City after company member Amos A. Lawrence of Boston.

Abby Pierron, the museum’s education coordinator, said that she hoped Found-

ers Day would become a new tradition in Lawrence, celebrating the Civil War-era history as well as history since then.

“If they know nothing else, they know the territorial history,” Pierron said of Lawrence residents. “Watkins serves to show all the history of the town — of the whole community.”

Between helping kids make paper sunflowers, Kansas University student Sarah Bell said that events like Founders Day give the community a sense of identity.

“This helps make history more real for kids and adults,” she said.

Oktoberfest to bring taste of Germany to town

By Aaron Couch acouch@ljworld.com

The smell of hundreds of bratwursts, wiener schnitzels, and cabbage rolls in the air can mean only one thing: St. John’s Oktoberfest is near. The 15th annual St. John the Evangelist Oktoberfest will take place from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday at the church, 1234 Ky. Admission is free, and that’s the way the church likes it, said organizer Angie Evers.

“We’re glad to host the com-

munity,” Evers said.

Over the years, she has seen people come for various reasons. Some like the authentic German beer, which this year will include Warsteiner Oktoberfest, Dunkel and Pilsner.

Others come for the polka music, provided this year by Ed Grisnick Orchestra and Frank Palcher.

“We have people come from Kansas City because they like Frank Palcher’s music,” Evers said.

This week, volunteers are

preparing food. About six people will cut onions and make other preparations for sauerkraut on Wednesday. Thursday will be for cooking and preparing potatoes. By Friday, Evers said, 20 people will be cooking and pull everything together to be ready for Saturday afternoon.

“It’s a big undertaking, but it’s also a lot of fun,” she said.

Many of St. John’s congregation are from Hays, which has strong German roots, and authenticity is important to the

event. Evers said one member of the church is German and is overseeing the prep work for the wiener schnitzels.

“It’s key to cut them very thin.

If it’s not right, she’ll tell you,” Evers said.

Profits from Oktoberfest will benefit the church and St. John’s Catholic School. In addition to food, drinks and music, there will be children’s games and an inflatable playhouse.

Fair aims to help community prepare for disasters Hunger

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Jillian Rodrigue knows firsthand the importance of planning for disaster. She was a college student in Louisiana when Hurricane Katrina hit.

Two years later, she was just two weeks into her new job at Douglas County Emergency Management when the Greensburg tornado hit.

Now the assistant director of the office, she’s passionate about helping the community, she says, by helping its members prepare for — and recover from — the worst.

To help get community members thinking about these issues, she’s helped organize the city’s annual preparedness fair, which will be from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday at South Middle School, 2734 La. Rodrigue said that information provided at the fair can help with preparing plans for situations including extreme weather, contagious illness, power outages, separation from family, fire and hazardous material spills.

About 170 people attended last year, but she’d like to see more people take an active

PREPAREDNESS FAIR 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday South Middle School, 2734 La. ! Douglas County Emergency Management, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical and other agencies will give out information on preparing for natural and manmade disasters ! Fire and medical crews and equipment will be on display, with interactive exhibits for children ! Free preparation-kit basics such as bottled water, flashlights and bandages will be available role in planning for emergencies.

“More people tend to have a plan only after something bad happens,” she said, “but just taking a few simple steps before can make the difference — and it doesn’t have to mean spending a lot of money.”

The first step is always just being aware of risk and accepting that preparing for it is a community responsibility, she said, that includes local government and local people.

“It’s a partnership,” she said.

Rodrigue said that the emergency management office’s efforts weren’t meant

Suggestions from Jillian Rodrigue, assistant director, Douglas County Emergency Management ! Have a designated meet-

ing place for family members if you get separated or can’t get in touch with each other. ! Practice the family plan for getting to this meeting location. ! Always keep your gas tank about half full — it’s enough to get most places you might need to go in an emergency. ! Keep your cellphone, mobile devices, etc., charged, and consider having the option to use your car to charge them if you lose power. ! If you can, have a contact person (family member, friend, etc.) who lives out of town — this person can relay information to other people and can be easier to get in touch with than someone in-town if cellphone services are strained.

! Text messages fre-

quently have a better chance getting through, even with a delay, than calls. !"Know where and how you can get information, such as text message alerts from local media. ! In addition to basic supplies in your preparedness kit, consider having copies of insurance documents, written medical information (including specific allergies and names of medications) and even games or toys if your family has small children, just to help reduce stress. ! Remember the adage “find what you can and use what you have” — in emergency situations, materials can be used creatively ! If you’re concerned about the cost of making a disaster kit, spread out purchases — try buying one item per month.

global hunger,” Holt said.

She said they are raising awareness about the project by having fundraisers, food drives and presentations leading up to World Food Day. A few Lawrence teachers are incorporating the project into classroom lessons, like geography. Miss Kansas, Carissa Kelley, will be speaking about the Lawrence Hunger Project on Sept. 21 at Free State High School.

The Lawrence Hunger Project is part of a new statewide packaging event called SWIPE. Other colleges and universities also are collecting food for pantries and money for meals to send to the Horn of Africa.

Holt, associate director for Community Tool Box Services at KU, attended the Kansas Hunger Dialogue, a twoday conference, this spring.

The purpose was to discuss how colleges can help address hunger issues through research, teaching and public service missions. She said the conference made her realize the urgency of the need.

She said there are about

Although a lot of humanitarian agencies are providing aid, the need far outstrips the available resources.”

“Although a lot of humanitarian agencies are providing aid, the need far outstrips the available resources,” she said. “There are people dying every day from famine even after reaching the refugee camp. We just think this is unconscionable and want to do what we can to share our bounty with the rest of the world while we also recognize that one in six of our local neighbors experience hunger issues.”

BRIEFLY Bald Eagle Rendezvous returns If you want to talk with a mountain man, or see how old-time traders survived in pre-Civil War Kansas, heading to Lecompton is the way to go. The eight annual Bald Eagle Rendezvous is happening from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at Bald Eagle River View Park, East Second Street in Lecompton. There will be period re-enactors, portraying the fur trappers and traders who eked out a living when Lecompton was on the frontier.

They will show off skills from the old days, such as how

to tan a hide, start a fire with flint and steel, and throw a tomahawk. They will also give tours of recreated dwellings.

Admission is free.

‘Cruise-In’ benefits Health Care Access There’s a new benefit this fall for Health Care Access, a medical clinic that provides care for low-income and uninsured Douglas County residents.

It’s a family-friendly event that involves live music, food and a car show featuring classics and hot rods. It’s called “Summer’s End Cruise-In.” The event will be from 2

p.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 24 at Broken Arrow Park, 31st and Louisiana streets.

Set ‘Em Up Jack’s restaurant owner Dan Koehn teamed up with the River City Cosmopolitan Club to have the benefit.

Koehn said the restaurant’s parking lot has “cruise-ins” on the first Saturday of the month from April through October.

They’ve become popular, he said, with up to 80 cars showing up.

He’s hoping to get about 100 for the benefit. Car owners will pay a $20 registration fee and prizes will be given to the top vote-getters.

The event is free and open to the public. Music and voting

begin at 5 p.m. All proceeds from the food and registration fees will go to Health Care Access, which served 1,200 patients last year.

Police: 3 men shot to death in K.C. KANSAS CITY, MO. — Police say three men have been shot to death in an apartment building in Kansas City. Five people have been taken into custody for questioning.

Kansas City Police Officer Darin Snapp tells the Kansas City Star that it was a “very violent encounter” that he describes as “almost executionstyle.”

Snapp says police got a call around 7:15 p.m. from a resident in the building who reported hearing gunshots.

When officers arrived, the apartment door was open and there were no signs of a breakin. Snapp says the attackers may have been let into the apartment.

The five people were taken into custody when police saw them running out the back door of the building. Snapp describes them as persons of interest, not suspects.

al tax rate down, then people will change their actions,” Brownback said.

Democrats argue that the state’s lack of economic momentum is a reflection of Republicans focusing more on social issues, such as abortion restrictions and eliminating arts funding, than creating jobs.

“These unemployment numbers show that job creation isn’t even close to being (Brownback’s) first priority,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka.

Despite the August unemployment increase statewide, areas of Kansas are seeing improvement. A comparison of the August numbers to the five- and 10-year averages finds that a number of rural counties are within a halfpercent of the historic numbers, suggesting improving conditions. The Brownback administration said the situation is a bit deceiving.

Because the rural counties have relatively stable workforces linked to agricultural production, there is little movement in the jobless rate up or down. Creating more economic opportunities may create the potential for a more volatile job market, but the governor also sees his rural opportunity zones program as a way to pump potential in areas that have lost population steadily for decades.

Brownback said previous efforts to help rural counties have found little success. They include hiring additional staff at the state level or at a university to teach people to do something to create jobs.

“The concept that has worked is if you provide an opportunity in a rural area,” he said, such as the Homestead Act that gave people 160 acres to settle and make their living. “It was widely successful.”

BANKRUPTCIES Douglas County residents or businesses filing for bankruptcy

University of Kansas economist Art Hall told a gathering of economic advisers this past week that Kansas was and would continue to see increased density around urban areas, such as Johnson County and Wichita. Hall said economic policies should strive to help raise the fortunes of the more than two dozen such regional hubs.

Four southeast Kansas senators are asking that their 17-county region, beset by an average unemployment rate of more than 7 percent, be given extra attention. The governor’s staff is compiling information, including how Kansas compares to Missouri and Oklahoma.

“We’re really trying to dig into the data to get some operating theories about what is taking place in this region,” Brownback said. “We haven’t gotten anything to stick.

There hasn’t been anything organically there to grow.”

Sen. Pat Apple, a Louisburg Republican, said policymakers and community leaders need to get an understanding of the region’s dynamics and find a long-term solution, not just give short-term attention to symptoms.

“If we can get people to see this as a regional effort, that if one town succeeds all succeed, it will be time well spent,” Apple said, adding that it may be a multi-year process.

The lack of jobs isn’t the only issue.

The U.S. Census Bureau released new figures showing one in seven Kansas residents living below the poverty line, with more than 12 percent of residents lacking health insurance. The figures are supported by state Social and Rehabilitation Services reports showing more Kansans needing assistance to put meals on the table.

Obama Diplomats scramble ‘Modern Family,’ ‘Mad Men’ win big ahead of Palestinian to propose United Nations bid $1.5 trillion in new tax revenue EMMY AWARDS

By Bradley Klapper and Matthew Lee

Associated Press

By Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Drawing a bright line with congressional Republicans, President Barack Obama is proposing $1.5 trillion in new tax revenue as part of his long-term deficit reduction plan, according to senior administration officials.

The president today will announce a proposal that includes the new taxes, nearly $250 billion in reductions in Medicare spending, $330 billion in cuts in other mandatory benefit programs, and savings of $1 trillion from the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.

The plan includes no changes in Social Security and does not include an increase in the Medicare eligibility age, which the presiObama dent had considered this summer.

All in all, the president’s plan is as much an opening bid as it is a political statement designed to draw contrasts with Republicans, who control the House of Representatives.

The new taxes in particular have little or no chance of passing Congress as proposed.

Republicans were already lining up against the president’s tax proposal before they even knew the magnitude of what he intended to recommend.

The $1.5 trillion in tax revenue would include about $800 billion realized over 10 years from repealing the Bush-era tax rates for couples making more than $250,000.

It also would place limits on deductions for wealthy filers and end certain corporate loopholes and subsidies for oil and gas companies.

By adding the tax revenue, about $580 billion in proposed mandatory spending cuts, the savings from troop withdrawals and $1 trillion in spending cuts already in place, the combined deficit reduction would total about $4 trillion over 10 years.

NEW YORK — With a tense week ahead for the future of the Middle East, the United States and Europe scrambled Sunday for a strategy that would help avoid a jarring showdown over whether to admit an independent Palestine as a new United Nations member. Instead, they sought to guide Israel and the Palestinians back into the tough bargaining on a long-sought peace agreement.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton discussed the current trajectory in New York, in which the Palestinian plan to gain statehood and membership at the U.N. would run headfirst into an American veto in the Security Council, and possible Israeli recriminations.

Yet there was no apparent and immediate solution to the many problems that have hindered Mideast peace efforts for months.

Diplomats were working feverishly as part of an increasingly desperate effort to guide the two parties back into direct negotiations, but were tight-lipped on whether the slim chances for a breakthrough were improving.

“We are meeting to talk about the way forward,” Clinton said as she shook hands with Ashton in a New York hotel. She declined to say if mediators were making progress.

The Palestinians are frustrated by their inability to win from Israel concessions such as a freeze on settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. And with violence out of the question and bilateral talks with Israel failing, they see the U.N. route as the only viable route for progress in the short term.

To address the Palestinian concerns, Western officials were discussing the possibility of including some timeframes, however vague, in any statement put out by the Mideast peace mediators — the U.S., EU, U.N. and Russia — known as the Quartet, officials said. These would focus on the restart of IsraeliPalestinian talks and signs of tangible progress.

Envoys from all four gathered Sunday in New York and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met with Quartet envoy Tony Blair. A fur-

The Palestinians are frustrated by their inability to win from Israel concessions ... in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. And with violence out of the question and bilateral talks with Israel failing, they see the U.N. route as the only viable route for progress in the short term.

ther meeting of Quartet officials was planned for today, officials said, with Ashton possibly presenting some ideas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on the same day.

The timeframes wouldn’t be deadlines, as such, but would seem to address the Palestinian desire to see quick action. The offer would come with an unchanged message that Washington would veto a Palestinian bid at the Security Council for U.N. recognition and membership, but at the very least it would represent a dignity-saving compromise for Abbas’ U.S.-backed government.

The alternative concern is that an embarrassment for his government would embolden Hamas, which the U.S. and Israel consider a terrorist organization and which would be far less eager to negotiate a two-state settlement with the Jewish nation.

The irony is that only 12 months ago, President Barack Obama said he wanted the U.N. to be welcoming Palestine as its newest member this year. But talks broke down long ago, and the U.S. is in the unenviable position of leading the opposition to something it actually supports, fearful a Palestinian victory might cause a debilitating rift with Israel and set the talks back further.

American officials were working to secure additional opposition to recognition, officials said. Without nine affirmative votes in the 15-member Council, the Palestinian resolution would fail, and Washington wouldn’t have to act alone.

U.S. officials believe six other members may vote against or abstain, meaning the Palestinians would fall short. That tally could not be immediately confirmed.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Emmys keep buying what “Mad Men” is selling. The 1960s Madison Avenue saga won its fourth consecutive best drama series award Sunday, while big-hearted romp “Modern Family” claimed its second best comedy trophy.

“Modern Family” producer Steve Levitan, whose picture of the American family today includes gay couples and interracial families, told of being approached during shooting by a real-life gay couple who wanted to say thanks.

“They said, ‘You’re not just making people laugh, you’re making them more tolerant,’” said Levitan, whose show received a total of five awards.

While “Mad Men” gained the top comedy award, it couldn’t pull honors for stars Jon Hamm or Elisabeth Moss.

Kyle Chandler was the surprise winner in the best drama actor category for the last season of Texas football drama “Friday Night Lights,”

blocking odds-on favorites among his fellow nominees.

Julianna Margulies won top drama acting honors for “The Good Wife.” Margulies, who navigates politics, law and family in the show, added to her Emmy stash. As part of the “ER” medical drama cast, she won a supporting actress Emmy in 1995.

Melissa McCarthy of “Mike & Molly” was honored as best lead actress in a comedy series with an Emmy, while Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory”

earned his second trophy in the best actor category.

The first awards in the drama category went to Jason Katims of “Friday Night Lights” for outstanding writing, and Margo Martindale, named best supporting actress for the show “Justified.”

Peter Dinklage, the winning actor in the category for sci-fi fantasy “Game of Thrones,” was awed by another winner, filmmaker Martin Scorsese, who received a directing trophy for “Boardwalk Empire.”

Repeal our unfunded health law?

No way, say GOP candidates

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It’s a massive health care entitlement with unfunded future costs over $7 trillion. Many conservatives are still upset at the way it was rammed through Congress.

But when the Republican presidential candidates were asked last week asked if they would repeal the Medicare drug benefit, they said no way. After all, Republicans created it.

Republicans want to pull the plug on the health care overhaul they call “Obamacare,” but that law is arguably less a deficit driver than the Medicare drug plan they are defending.

Debt and deficit are the focus of the Republican Party as the 2012 presidential campaign moves through the nominating process and looks ahead to the general election. Yet the reluctance of GOP candidates to renounce a costly entitlement program that voters like shows how politics can come into play when critiquing the federal ledger.

Passed by a GOP-led Congress in 2003 under President George W. Bush, the prescription program is immensely popular with older people, faithful voters who lately have been trending Republican.

Medicare recipients pay only one-fourth of the cost of the drug benefit. Because there’s no dedicated tax to support the program, the other three-fourths comes from the government’s general fund. That’s the same leaky pot used for defense, law enforcement, education and other priorities. It’s regularly refilled with borrowed dollars that balloon the deficit.

Although the health care law costs far more than the drug benefit, it’s paid for, at least on paper. It includes unpopular Medicare cuts as well as tax increases on insurers, drug and medical device companies, upper-income people and even indoor tanning devotees.

Asked last week at the Tea Party debate if they would repeal the prescription program, GOP candidates would hear nothing of it.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said he would not, even though he said he’s concerned about its cost. Cracking down on waste and fraud might be the answer, he suggested.

“I wouldn’t repeal it,” said former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. He said he would restructure Medicare, but not for those now in the program or nearing retirement. The re-engineering supported by House Republicans this year and praised

by Romney at the time would

give future retirees a voucher-like payment to buy insurance from a range of private plans.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul noted that he’d voted against the prescription benefit, but said repeal “sure wouldn’t be on my high list. I would find a lot of cuts (in) a lot of other places.”

Budget hawks scoff.

“I’m an equal opportunity critic here,” said David Walker, a former head of the congressional watchdog agency.

“I think the Republicans were irresponsible for passing the Medicare prescription program in 2003 and I think the Democrats were irresponsible for passing” Obama’s health overhaul.

As comptroller general of the Government Accountability Office for most of the past decade, Walker used his position to call attention to the nation’s long-term budget problems at a time when the debt wasn’t frontpage news. He now leads the Comeback America Initiative, a nonpartisan group promoting fiscal responsibility.

“There was no attempt to offset the cost of the Medicare prescription bill,” Walker said. “It’s fair to say that at least there was an attempt to pay” for the health law through a mix of spending cuts and tax increases.

Direction needed The Lawrence school board needs to offer additional direction to a working group assigned to consider elementary school consolidation.

A

s members of the Lawrence school district’s consolidation working group begin to focus on their mission, it makes sense for the school board to ensure the group is heading down an acceptable path.

The working group is charged with devising a plan, by January, that identifies how to consolidate six elementary schools into three or four. That plan to close schools would be enacted in the next two to three years. The schools under consideration are Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill. Each school has representatives on the working group, as does Woodlawn elementary, which is not targeted for closure.

While it’s understandable that school board members want the group to do its own work, it is only fair to those 26 volunteer members of the group to make sure they understand what the school board will and will not accept. That’s particularly important because the working group was created by the previous school board, which charged the group not with deciding whether elementary schools would be consolidated but rather how that consolidation would take place.

The board has four new members who need to let the working group know whether they agree with that direction.

It’s been suggested that a committee of working group members would communicate with the school board about its deliberations. That’s fine. However, it seems best if that communication were two-way and initiated by the school board. School board members should publicly go on record about what, if any, possibilities are off the table.

Would the board, for example, actually close any of the six on the list? Will all six be seriously considered? Or is there a sacred cow or two among the group?

The issue of closing elementary schools in Lawrence has been discussed off and on for many years. And several of those six schools now targeted for closure have been on the chopping block before.

School board members should communicate to the working group what the board views as acceptable parameters. It would be a waste of the working group’s time — not to mention, how disheartening it would be — if the group recommended closure of two or three schools that actually are on board members’ “save list.”

Each of the seven school board members should publicly state whether he or she would vote to close each of the six schools.

Only then can the working group members believe their efforts during the next several months are worthwhile.

Landon, Kassebaum on Social Security TAMPA, FLA. — So the Republicans are fighting about Social Security and the Democrats are exulting over it. This is news?

Ho hum. This has been happening, on and off, for threequarters of a century. During a good deal of that time, Republicans have railed against Social Security and risked voter disapproval while Democrats have twisted their rivals’ worries and words out of context. Social Security may be a good program, it may be good politics, but

Even so, Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas, the GOP’s presidential nominee a year after Social Security was passed, expressed real doubts about Social Security … ”

the program was “unjust, unworkable, stupidly drafted and wastefully financed.” He lost every state but Maine and Vermont.

For the two decades that followed Landon’s defeat in 1936, Republicans were chary of attacking Social Security.

Thirteen days after taking his oath of office, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his first State of the Union message to Congress and, when discussing the need for greater effectiveness of government programs, he said, “The provisions of the old-age and survivors insurance law should promptly be extended to cover millions of citizens who have been left out of the Social Security system.”

almost never since Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security bill into law in 1935 has it prompted a good debate.

It’s not doing so this year, when, more than ever, we need a good debate on Social Security, which today supports about 54 million people. Here’s a simple explanation why: There soon will be too few workers supporting too many beneficiaries for a pay-as-you-go system like Social Security to survive without dra- Warning from Ike Later, in a remarkable letter matic change.

Goldwater’s rhetoric was extreme but his notion, that the system ought to be voluntary, was echoed in the famous 1964 televised preelection speech that made Ronald Reagan a national political figure and later was adopted by the George W. Bush administration.

Republicans stumbled in the Reagan years when they permitted House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill of Massachusetts to portray them as enemies of Social Security, and thus of old people.

In the 1982 election, the Republicans lost 27 seats.

Last week the issue flared again in the Republican debate here, after Texas Gov. Rick Perry had suggested, not all that inaccurately, that Social Security was a “Ponzi scheme.”

The Mitt Romney campaign promptly distributed pamphlets in this state, where a fifth of the population is on Social Security, asking pointedly, “How can we trust anyone who wants to kill Social Security?” Perry then offered his colorful “slam dunk” guarantee to current Social Security recipients.

Serious issues remain But the issue remains how to support this program, how broadly it should be applied, how much of it should be taxed and what the government should set as the retirement age.

This is no academic exercise.

The greatest economic crisis facing the United States today isn’t the national deficit or the trade deficit. It is the savings deficit. Some Americans may be putting away more money than they did a decade ago, but nowhere near enough.

This year’s Retirement Confidence Survey shows that seven Americans out of 10 believe they are not on track to save enough

To the editor: Are we to learn a lesson in fundamental Christian values from the article on the success of “The Original Argument: The Federalists’ Case for the Constitution” (Journal-World, Sept. 14)? Glenn Beck allows his name to be splashed across the cover of a book he didn’t write.

That’s called plagiarism. The true author, Josh Charles, goes along with the travesty of having his name relegated to the inside cover (as junior author?) for the sake of the sales impact of the Beck name. The original authors, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, are

unlikely to share in the rich royalties, but we may hope that they receive some acknowledgement.

Having read several of “The Federalist” tracts in Western Civilization many years ago at Kansas University, I’m not convinced that a modernization is necessary. Given the circumstances surrounding “The Original Argument …, ” I would want to read it with The Federalist at hand to see what might have been lost – or added – in translation.

ESTABLISHED 1891

Assumed irresponsibility All of which brings us back to Alf Landon — a sentence no one expected to be typed in the year 2011. But Landon’s critique of Social Security included this riff: “It assumes that Americans are irresponsible. It assumes that old-age pensions are necessary because Americans lack the foresight to provide for their old age.”

Let’s punt that question over to the sociologists.

The political scientists, however, realize that in some form Social Security is here to stay.

In that case, Democrats as well as Republicans are going to have to do what they don’t want to do, which is to bring the system in line with both the savings crisis and the deficit crisis. The deficit-reduction plan the president released last week said not a word about Social Security.

“Even discussing those options is highly unpopular with a majority of Americans,” one brave American politician said in a speech exactly 15 years ago this week, “in large part because we lack leadership that is able and willing to make a clear, compelling case for such necessary, long-term action.” The speaker was Sen. Nancy Landon Kassebaum, Republican of Kansas and daughter of the 1936 Republican nominee. The venue was Kansas State University and the occasion was the 107th Alf Landon Lecture.

Drought leaves hay in short supply HUTCHINSON — A severe drought in some parts of Kansas and a deep drop in alfalfa production have led to a shortage of hay at a time when demand in the state and elsewhere is sky high.

That has resulted in hay prices that are twice as high as they were a year ago, prompting farmers who in the past exported hay to states like Texas and Oklahoma to keep a tight grip on their supplies.

“This isn’t getting shipped anywhere else,” said Todd Zimmerman, manager of Zim’s Feedlot in Sterling. “This is staying here for our cattle.”

The Hutchinson News reported that some livestock producers are bailing irrigated corn stalks to supply their cattle feeding operations, while others are thinning their herds so there are fewer mouths to feed.

High prices for hay are cutting into the profit margins for beef and dairy producers, and eventually those costs could be reflected in the prices paid at the grocery store.

A low supply of grains worldwide and high demand have pushed wheat and soybean prices up, prompting many farmers to plow up their hay to plant crops that bring in more money.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Judge says Kline retaliated against fired employee TOPEKA (AP) — An administrative judge in Washington, D.C., has ruled that Phill Kline was retaliating against a senior Johnson County prosecutor when he fired her in April 2007 after he took over as the county’s district attorney.

Kline, who was Kansas attorney general from 2003 to 2007 before being defeated

by Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison, was appointed to Morrison’s D.A. post after he left state office.

A few months later, he fired Jacqie Spradling, a 15-year prosecutor in that office who was section chief of the domestic violence unit.

In that role, Spradling supervised four attorneys and three interns, handled more than 400 cases and supervised nearly 2,000 cases in 2006, while also prosecuting homicide cases.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports Chief Administrative Law Judge Susan Biro made the ruling a month ago in the case filed by Spradling with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Kline’s attorney, Reid Holbrook, said he disagreed with Biro’s interpretation of case law in her ruling, and that Kline was appealing the ruling.

Biro’s ruling is attached to a lawsuit filed by Spradling in Johnson County District Court. It’s an exhibit on a Spradling filing in her state case against Kline as district attorney.

A motions hearing in the state case is scheduled for Monday at the Johnson County Courthouse in Olathe.

In her state case, Spradling is seeking damages for mental anguish, no less than $63,000 in past wage loss, no less than $68,000 in future lost income, legal fees and lost benefits. She’s also seeking a court order protecting female employees from sexual discrimination and retaliation in the district attorney’s office.

In her 16-page ruling, Biro said statements in Kline’s June 15 affidavit — three weeks after Spradling filed a motion for partial summary decision — were “not credible” because

they conflicted with Kline’s earlier deposition.

“Excluding Mr. Kline’s contradictory affidavit statements leaves the evidence of discrimination offered by Ms. Spradling unexplained and unrebutted,” she wrote.

Biro noted that Kline fired Spradling about one month after she submitted written allegations of sexual discrimination, and four days after Kline notified the Johnson County Department of Human Resources that his office wouldn’t cooperate with the human resources investigation based on Spradling’s allegations.

In an April 20, 2007, memo to Kline, senior deputy district attorney Stephen Maxwell listed 10 points specifying why Spradling should be dismissed. She was fired April 24, 2007.

Kline has denied that she was terminated out of retaliation or discriminated against.

Kline’s defense previously called her firing a “legitimate business decision based on factors that were appropriate.”

CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Leftovers on menu for KU If you just can’t stand to read the painful truth, put the paper down and go for a walk, or pop in a CD, or turn on the TV, or read a book, or swear off following sports for the rest of your life and replace it with a more stable hobby, you know, like playing the stock market.

The truth is, Kansas University is on the brink of ranking as one of the biggest losers in the conference realignment musical-chairs game it had nothing to do with setting in motion.

The Big 12 had great football and basketball leagues and was the perfect fit for Kansas, a strong and loyal member. First Nebraska and Colorado bolted.

Then Texas A&M. Now Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and Texas and Texas Tech could announce any day that they are joining the Pac-16.

The Big East would have been a nice fallback position when it was the Big East, but it ceased being the Big East over the weekend, when Syracuse and Pittsburgh fled to the ACC. Connecticut is trying to follow them and looks to be in a strong position to become the ACC’s 15th school. Rutgers wants to be the 16th.

The Pac-12, if the presidents uncomfortable about how Texas Tech and Oklahoma State measure up academically agree to follow the recommendations of commissioner Larry Scott, isn’t interested in Kansas.

The Big Ten’s not expanding for now.

So where does that leave Kansas? Up a creek without a paddle, along with Missouri, Kansas State, Baylor and Iowa State.

Now what?

Pray that the ACC allows for one exception in its desire to own the Eastern seaboard and invites Kansas instead of Rutgers.

Such a conference would allow ACC schools to brag about winning 10 of the past 13 NCAA Tournament titles in basketball: UConn (1999, 2004, 2011), Duke (2001, 2010), North Carolina (2005, 2009), Maryland (2002), Syracuse (2003) and Kansas (2008) have won it all in the past 13 seasons.

Conference realignment is driven by football, but putting together such a phenomenal basketball league without question would add value to a conference.

The ACC is smart enough to know it’s never going to rank with the SEC, Big Ten and Pac12 in football, so it decided to assemble the greatest basketball conference of all-time. If you’re going to do that, do it all the way and invite KU instead of Rutgers.

Not an impossible dream, but not likely. Rutgers, the state university of New Jersey, gives the ACC a foot in the New York TV market, whatever that means.

Again, now what? Form a league with Big 12 and Big East leftovers. Not a terrible league, except that all it does is kick the can that is realignment anxiety down the road a year or two, when conferences that haven’t expanded yet choose to do so.

The best football schools will be looking to get stolen away, the basketball-only schools will grow tired of the negative recruiting vibes the instability brings and break off to form their own conference.

On a positive note, Kansas will get to extend its rivalries with Kansas State and Missouri, at least until the next shake-up.

It’s such a shame Texas was so weirdly obsessed on getting into a measuring contest with everyone that it led to a mass exodus.

Pitt, Syracuse head to ACC

en in the ever-changing world of college conference realignment.

Now schools from coast to coast are left to figure out how they will be affected.

The jump by Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the Atlantic Coast Conference from the Big East, formally announced Sunday by the ACC, could create another catalyst that hurls intercollegiate athletics toward the era of 16-team superconferences.

Or it could give the power players in college sports a chance to catch their breath while they sort out their next moves.

— ACC Commissioner John Swofford Will Texas and Oklahoma stay in the Big 12 or join another league — possibly the Pac-12?

Will the ACC stop at 14 members or keep growing to 16 — and if so, who might the next two additions be?

Will the Southeastern Conference be forced to keep up by adding a 14th school if and when Texas A&M joins? And what happens to the Big East after once again losing multiple

cornerstone programs to the ACC? “I can say that in all my years of collegiate athletics administration, I’ve never seen this level of uncertainty and potential fluidity in schools and conferences,” ACC Commissioner John Swofford said on a conference call.

“Schools, they’re looking for stability, and when that stability doesn’t exist, for whatever reason, as long as that’s going on, I

think the conferences that appear to be stable moving forward are going to receive inquiries from schools that are desirous of having that kind of stability.”

Until now, the focus of this most recent round of realignment had centered on the Big 12.

Texas A&M already has announced its intention to join the Southeastern Conference, leaving the future of the Big 12 in doubt.

The boards of regents at Oklahoma and Texas are meeting today to discuss the possibility of the universities leaving that conference.

Oklahoma could leave for the Pac-12 and take Oklahoma State with it. Texas has stated

SO WHAT? What does the ACC’s raid of the Big East mean for KU and the Big 12?

DETROIT 48, KANSAS CITY 3

Lions add injury to insult

KANSAS CITY RUNNING BACK JAMAAL CHARLES (25) GRABS HIS LEG after being injured on a play in the first quarter. Charles left the game, an eventual 48-3 loss to the Lions on Sunday in Detroit.

RB Charles hurt in Chiefs’ latest lopsided loss DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions had a ho-hum attitude about the most lopsided regular-season win in franchise history.

Matthew Stafford threw two of his four touchdown passes to Calvin Johnson and Detroit routed the Kansas City Chiefs, 48-3, Sunday, matching the 45-point win it had over Cleveland in the 1957 NFL title game.

Detroit broke its regular-season record set with a 44-0 win over the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars in 1995.

Lions coach Jim Schwartz claimed he wasn’t impressed.

“We can play better,” Schwartz said after shrugging his shoulders.

Detroit (2-0) looks as if it just might be the breakout team some expect this season.

The Chiefs (0-2) were expected to be competitive after winning the AFC West last season, but they’re losing games and players at an alarming rate.

The Lions led Kansas City 20-3 at halftime and 41-3 early in the fourth quarter after turning two fumbles into TDs, following up their season-opening win at Tampa Bay, in a home opener that didn’t disappoint their fired-up fans.

There’s no football game on tap Saturday at Kansas University.

Instead, there’s an early preview of basketball season — the Legends of the Phog exhibition game involving KU’s current NBA players, set for 4 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.

“It should be a great day,” KU coach Bill Self said. “Of course, getting Paul (Pierce, Boston Celtics) to come back was the key. He seems real excited to come back. A lot of the other guys are going to come back. Everybody wants to be here. Some have prior engagements, but not a lot. I think they all are excited about running out of the tunnel one more time. The ticket pricing is so good ($20 adults, $10 students). I think it’ll be a pretty neat experience for these guys.”

Other NBA players confirmed to play in KU’s sold-out Legends game: Cole Aldrich (Oklahoma City), Darrell Arthur (Memphis), Mario Chalmers (Miami), Nick Collison (OKC), Xavier Henry (Memphis), Darnell Jackson (Sacramento), Marcus Morris (Houston), Markieff Morris (Phoenix), Brandon Rush (Indiana), Josh Selby (Memphis) and Julian Wright (Toronto). Drew Gooden, who has prior plans for his 30th birthday celebration, and Kirk Hinrich, whose wife is expecting the couple’s second child, likely will not attend.

Former KU coaches Ted Owens and Larry Brown will be the honorary coaches.

Former KU coach Roy Williams, now head coach at North Carolina, is not expected to be in the house.

Jayhawks insist they’re ‘better’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

They might not have done much Saturday to back it up, but Kansas University’s football players want people to know this year’s team is different than the one that finished 3-9 and rarely competed during 2010.

“Guys are making progress, slowly but surely,” junior safety Bradley McDougald said after KU’s 66-24 loss to Georgia Tech in Atlanta. “Fans may not see it,

but guys are definitely getting better.”

A year ago, after a similar embarrassment at Baylor, the Jayhawks were unable to contain their emotions and left Waco, Texas, in a rage, searching for answers and unsure of why things had reached such disturbing levels. Linebacker Steven Johnson marveled at how much bigger and faster the Bears were that day.

That wasn’t the case in Atlanta.

Sure, the anger was there. But this year’s team left with its collective

heads held high and its eyes fixed on improving. In the world of college football, where entire seasons can turn in a week’s time, such a mind-set is crucial, especially for a team such as Kansas, which now heads into its bye week and has two weeks to prepare for its Big 12 opener Oct. 1 against Texas Tech at Memorial Stadium.

16-year-old notches historic LPGA win PRATTVILLE, ALA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lexi Thompson was poised to become the youngest player to win an LPGA Tour event at a freshfaced 16, sitting five strokes ahead of the field and one round from history.

Thompson So what was the dinner table topic the night before?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boys. Boys definitely came up,â&#x20AC;? she said. Hey, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an LPGA winner. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still 16.

The Floridian closed with a 2-under 70 Sunday to win the Navistar LPGA Classic, beating Tiffany Joh by five strokes to finish at 17-under 271.

Thompson shattered the age record for winning a multipleround tournament held by Paula Creamer, who won in 2005 at 18.

Marlene Hagge was 18 years and 14 days old when she won the single-round Sarasota Open in 1952.

The victory brought a piece of history and $195,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been my dream like my whole life,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best feeling ever.â&#x20AC;?

Thompson, who turned 16 in February, led by five strokes entering the final round and built that to seven through 10 holes at the Robert Trent Jones Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Capitol Hill complex. Then came the teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only big lapse on the pressure-packed day, bogeys on the next two holes that allowed Joh to surge within three strokes.

Rain postpones NASCAR race to today JOLIET, ILL. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain at Chicagoland Speedway forced NASCAR to postpone the opening race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

NASCAR rescheduled the race for 11 a.m. today.

The forecast didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look good from the start, but because the facility has lights, NASCAR waited all day for a window to dry the track. Officials got the window and had the track almost dry, but the sky opened again roughly six hours after the scheduled start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate the fans hanging in there with us and we know that rain presents an issue that nobody has much control over and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncomfortable,â&#x20AC;? NASCAR president Mike Helton said earlier Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best interest to try to get it in, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got time to wait and see.â&#x20AC;?

Time ran out about 7 p.m., with NASCAR releasing teams after the almost-dry track was soaked by a heavy rain. It marks the first Chase race since the championship series debuted in 2004 to be postponed.

The only Chase race that failed to be run to its conclusion was the 2007 event at Kansas, which was called for darkness after a rain delay halted action in the middle of the event.

The race resumed, but ran only 210 of the scheduled 267 laps.

Matt Kenseth will start from the pole at Chicagoland when the race goes off today.

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Remember that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;student-athlete.â&#x20AC;?

In a world more populated by frauds every second, college sports may have more frauds per square inch than any endeavor on earth.

Administrators preach education and practice business, cold-hearted, ruthless business. Athletic programs are for sale to the highest bidder.

But if a â&#x20AC;&#x153;student-athleteâ&#x20AC;? gets free tattoos or sells memorabilia, that teenager or young adult is branded, suspended and sometimes ruled permanently ineligible.

Witness the latest deal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Syracuse and Pittsburgh to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Big East was formed in 1979 as a conference that would marry basketball and cable television in the Northeast. It was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, one of the great basketball/business minds of the 20th century. It has been so successful that since 1982, conference teams have accounted for 17 Final Fours and six national championships, not to mention a jammed Madison Square Garden each March for its tournament, a massive TV presence, and a gigantic fan base.

The iconic program in conference history has been Syracuse, one of seven charter members.

It was more than a bit ironic that the moves were announced on the weekend Gavitt passed away. A great coach at Providence and an even better administrator, Gavitt saw the future three decades ago. He also probably saw this, too. He just could not have been terribly happy about it.

One has to keep in mind that none of this conference chaos is about basketball or, of course, the student-athletes. It is all about football and the cold, hard cash generated by the BCS cartel.

It may be against the rules for a player to market himself, but there is no rule about a school attempting to find the best market for itself.

When in doubt, follow the money. The NCAA is in the midst of a $10.8 billion, 14-year contract with Turner and CBS for the basketball tournament. But that money is used to fund the NCAA operations in Indianapolis and is distributed among the schools in a relatively benevolent, socialistic way.

The big boys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get fat from basketball. They get fat from football. The conferences, not the NCAA, control the football money generated from television.

Which is why there is no playoff, something that would have to be administered and controlled by the NCAA. The cartel does not want to share that money so, school by school, it is consolidating into super conferences.

So what happens to leagues like the Big East when schools like Syracuse and Pittsburgh, a member since 1982, head out the back door? And what happens when some of the other six remaining football schools look for a better landing spot?

It was just last spring when Villanova was prepared to say yes to Big East football, ready to make the monetary commitment it would take to get a seat at the cartelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s table.

The Big East told Villanova to wait.

Imagine if Villanova had made that commitment to a league that looks a whole lot different today than it did then.

In the short term, ACC basketball just went way up with perennial powers Syracuse and Pittsburgh.

Big East hoops took a serious hit. When the move is finalized, there will be no more Syracuse at the Wells Fargo Center, no more Pitt-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nova classics. No matter how it plays out, it will never be the same.

UConn is probably the key to what goes down next. Jim Calhounâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team has won half those Big East national titles. The football team won the 2010 league championship. If UConn goes to the ACC, the Big East is done.

Thompson erased any concerns of a collapse with birdies on Nos. 16 and 17, and then the celebration and the kind words began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paula Creamer came up to me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If anybody was going to change the record, it should have been you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That meant a lot.â&#x20AC;?

Cool under pressure most of the day, Thompson and her father, also her caddie, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain broad smiles as they approached the 18th green with the win, and a spot in LPGA history.

KU soccer falls, 7-2 ————

No. 8 Florida steamrolls Jayhawks J-W Staff Reports

Despite freshman Ingrid Vidal’s conference-leading sixth goal of the season and another score from sophomore Caroline Kastor, Kansas University soccer lost to No. 8 Florida, 7-2, on a cloudy Sunday afternoon at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

KU, 1-2 versus ranked opponents this season, fell to 6-3 overall, while the Gators improved to 7-2.

After recording just three shots in the first half and giving up five Gator goals, Kansas came out a more aggressive team in the final 45 minutes, collecting 11 shots and matching Florida with a pair of goals. KU’s defense also tightened up, allowing only three UF shots in the second half compared to 11 in the opening period.

“Second half was great,” KU midfielder Whitney Berry said, “and I think if we would have played like that in the first half it would have been a completely different game, especially with the fact that we had a penalty kick called, had a goal scored in the last two seconds of the first half and they took two goals back from us, which was unfortunate.”

Florida’s Tahnai Annis, Annie Speese, Havana Solaun and McKenzie Barney all scored goals in the first half, as well as Lindsay Thompson, who found the back of the net just seconds before time expired in the first half.

KU regrouped at halftime and, despite a Florida goal off

former KU players Jerod Haase and C.B. McGrath.

Former KU players who have said they will attend thus far and could wind up playing include: Nick Bradford, Eric Chenowith, Jeff Graves, Jeff Hawkins, Ron Kellogg, Greg Ostertag, Scot Pollard, Ryan Robertson, Wayne Simien, Billy Thomas and Darnell Valentine. More names and details about the exhibition should be announced this week. !

reporters. “I still want to look at that. It’s one football game.

We still have a lot of season left, and I feel good about where we’re headed. We have improved.”

To say that is one thing. To leave it at that is another. And KU’s players aren’t willing to do that, especially those who play for a defense which has allowed 132 points and 1,650 yards in three games.

To put that number in perspective, during KU’s worst three-game stretch a season ago, the defense gave up 159 points in blowout losses to Baylor, Kansas State and Texas A&M. “The defense definitely wants to show up for the offense,” said McDougald,

“I thought our play in the second half was a lot better,” KU coach Mark Francis said.

“We talked about the things we needed to do but they need to figure that out on the field because at that point the game is over at halftime. The

second was a lot better because we competed better.”

Kansas will open Big 12 Conference play at No. 2 Oklahoma State on Friday.

“Next week we play Oklahoma State,” Francis said, “and it is not going to get any easier, so we have to focus on what we are doing because this game got away from us, but it could have been a totally different game.”

deemed by the NCAA to be a partial qualifier, which would make him eligible for financial aid and possibly earn the right to practice second semester but not play in games. Because of Big 12 Conference policy, all partial qualifiers must be approved by the league’s faculty athletic representatives. Anderson’s case was not approved for aid. Therefore, he will not attend KU. “I understand there are policies, rules, bylaws that everybody has to live by when they are part of an organization —in our case part of the NCAA and part of the Big 12,” Self said. “I personally struggle with the fact that even though there is a policy and they have every right to do so, the Big 12 can trump the NCAA at this strange state of our league right now.

That the Big 12 can trump the NCAA when the Big 12 is an uncertainty in who knows its existence in moving forward.”

Of Anderson’s future, Self said: “Hopefully he’ll make a decision on where he would further his academic and basketball career in the next day or two.”

Anderson told the JournalWorld he’d not be attending a prep school, likely a junior college or another university in a conference that accepts partial qualifiers.

noting that KU’s offense has done enough to keep the team competitive. “We want to get them turnovers, get stops for them and set them up with good field position. We’re gonna scratch and claw and do whatever we have to do to get it.”

Simply having the desire to improve does not make it a given the Jayhawks will deliver. Despite winning two of its first three games, the KU defense consistently has struggled to pressure opposing quarterbacks, prevent big plays and force turnovers.

Despite the coaching staff emphasizing the importance of takeaways during the past two weeks, the Jayhawks have forced just one turnover this season, and that was a fumble on a failed fourthdown attempt by McNeese State in the season opener.

“I know as a defense we’re way better than this,” John-

son said. “The stats might not show it, but I just know it. I feel it in my heart that we’re better than this.”

How can Johnson, a cocaptain and two-year starter, be so sure?

“I have a lot of faith in this team,” he said. “This is a different team, and it’s not like last year. What I can take away from this is we fought.

When it was looking really bleak, we fought. Nobody hung their heads. We know we’re better than this.”

Added quarterback Jordan Webb, KU’s poster boy for improvement: “We’re so much better this year. If people can’t see that, I guess they don’t know too much about football. We know the nay-sayers are out there, but we’re not gonna listen to them. People can jump off the bandwagon now if they want, but we’re gonna work our tails off to get better.”

OSU, Realignment Tulsa play way late TULSA, OKLA. (AP) — As the time kept ticking away, quarterback Brandon Weeden began to wonder if it was getting too late for Oklahoma State to play its game against Tulsa.

Midnight was approaching, and surely they wouldn’t start a game that late, would they?

Turns out they would.

Tulsa’s Kevin Fitzpatrick kicked it off 16 minutes after midnight and the Cowboys — who moved up a spot to No. 7 in the rankings this week — didn’t finish their 5933 win until 3:35 a.m. Sunday.

And the all-nighter was mere minutes away from getting canceled.

Tulsa athletic director Bubba Cunningham and Oklahoma State counterpart Mike Holder had agreed to call off the game if lightning struck near H.A. Chapman Stadium after 11:30 p.m. Saturday. The last strike recorded was at 11:23, and players were able to get back on the field just before midnight to warm up for the game.

“After going through it, I just don’t think it’s the best thing for student-athletes,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said. “They’ve got to go to class Monday, and it’s going to take a couple, three days to get over an evening like this for all of us. It was very unusual.”

To say the least.

Tulsa’s band had already played the national anthem and kickoff was just minutes away when fans were encouraged to clear the stands and seek shelter. Rain started falling around 9:15 p.m. and it soon became a downpour.

NCAA rules suggest waiting at least 30 minutes after a lightning strike to resume a game, and Cunningham and Holder — after failing to get through that half-hour window several times — eventually had to decide when they had reached a point of no return.

“We just felt from a reasonable standpoint that midnight was kind of our point of distinction,” Cunningham said.

An NCAA bylaw prohibits athletic activities from starting between midnight and 5 a.m., but Cunningham said it’s his understanding the rule is intended to prevent coaches from punishing players with an early morning practice after a game — and not to stop games from starting after a weather delay.

“I think everybody felt that way; they thought the game might get called,” Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Bill Young said. “But what are you going to do? Everybody’s here. The fans are here, the players are here and if you can get it in, you try to get it in.

“Obviously, we’re all happy we did get it in.”

Chiefs CONTINUNED FROM PAGE 1B

Detroit dominated the Broncos, 44-7, at home in 2007 to improve to 6-2 only to collapse with one win in the second half of the season, leading to the NFL’s first 0-16 year in 2008.

Back then, though, the Lions didn’t have a quarterback quite like Stafford or an assortment of playmakers on both sides of the ball.

He was 23-of-39 for 294 yards and four TDs — one short of his career high — and avoided mistakes after throwing an interception on the opening drive.

Stafford threaded a 15-yard pass to Johnson for the first score and put a pass where only Tony Scheffler could catch it on a 36-yard TD in the second quarter.

“They understand if they get a little seam, they’ve got a chance to get the ball,” Stafford said.

Jahvid Best accounted for 123 yards and two scores. Johnson caught two touchdown passes for the second straight week and Nate Burleson had seven receptions for 93 yards.

The Lions went for touchdowns on a pair of fourth downs, one late in the third quarter and another with 5:05 left.

Schwartz insisted those decisions didn’t have anything to do with the league ruling against Detroit and in favor in Kansas City on a tampering charge last season.

“We’re not trying to do anything other than trying to win the game,” Schwartz said.

Kansas City cornerback Brandon Flowers didn’t think they Lions were trying to run up the score.

“This is the NFL,” Flowers said. “We can’t worry about who’s trying to rub what in.”

The Chiefs lost more than just the game, coming off a 34-point loss at home to Buffalo. Charles’ exit left the team with Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster in the backfield and without a player who ran for 1,467 yards last season.

Worries over new nurse can be eased with discussion Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Sexually Frustrated,” whose wife isn’t interested in intimacy. Here’s another option: She may not be into men.

After 32 years with my husband, I, too, wondered why he wasn’t interested. For years, I thought it was me. I wasn’t pretty enough or sexy enough. Then it came out that he was really attracted to men.

Please tell “Frustrated” anniesmailbox@comcast.net that his situation may not want to cause any hard feelimprove unless his wife is ings with Dee. She’s a great open and honest about what person, but it disturbs me to is up with her. I wish I had think she and my wife might be discussing my health over coffee. I’ve already canceled and rescheduled a complete physical. My new appointment is coming up soon. I don’t want to switch doctors. What can I do? — Modest Mike

Networks miss the mark on sexy The first of two “Mad Men”-inspired network shows this fall, “The Playboy Club” (9 p.m., NBC) arrives with a resounding thud. It begins with a long, lingering shot of an older bunny, Carol-Lynne (Laura Benanti), singing “Chicago,” a Frank Sinatra standard of the period, rumored to be his homage to the gangsters from “that toddlin’ town.”

The frisky waitresses cavort and mingle with a largely male crowd. Things get ugly when a rather thuggish sort breaks the look-but-don’t-touch rule with the new hire, Maureen (Amber Heard).

Lucky for Maureen, she’s rescued by upand-coming attorney Nick Dalton (Eddie Cibrian).

Together, they clean up a dangerous mess that leaves them both compromised and all but intimately connected. This does not sit too well with Nick’s girlfriend, Carol-Lynne.

Way back in 2002, NBC trotted out a series named “American Dreams,” produced by Dick Clark and a tribute to the role “American Bandstand” had on popular culture. It was a handsomely produced series, but except for showing off period songs, costumes and hairdos, it did a fairly poor job of evoking the 1960s. Substitute Hugh Hefner for Dick Clark, and “Playboy Club” is basically “American Dreams” with more cleavage and a noirish soap opera plot. It’s not exactly horrible, but it’s nowhere near good.

The new comedy “2 Broke Girls” (8:30 p.m., CBS) is both predictable and a bit startling. As plots go, this tale of sassy working-class waitress Max Black (Kat Dennings) befriending the suddenly destitute rich-girl- turned-waitress Caroline Channing (Beth Behrs) is pretty standard stuff. Despite contributions from a “Sex and the City” producer, the show’s depiction of New York and Brooklyn seem both generic and about 25 years out of date.

But what stunned me was this show’s strenuous attempts at dirty talk. The sight, sound and smells of a prostitute doing her business in the kitchen closet are described in depressingly witless detail.

Clearly, the success of “Two and a Half Men” has had its impact. CBS has become the go-to place for a rather stupid brand of sleaze.

Tonight’s other premieres

On two episodes of “How I Met Your Mother” (CBS): a glance back (7 p.m.), video evidence (7:30 p.m.).

“The Sing-Off” (7 p.m., NBC) looks for new a cappella champions.

“Dancing With the Stars” (7 p.m., ABC) puts its plastic gears in motion.

Ashton Kutcher joins the cast of “Two and a Half Men” (8 p.m., CBS).

McGarrett’s trial begins on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS).

Beckett on the brink on “Castle” (90 p.m., ABC).

Tonight’s other highlights

“Hell’s Kitchen” (7 p.m., Fox) ends another season.

All heck breaks loose on the season finale of “Eureka” (7 p.m., Syfy).

“The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen” (9 p.m.) will also preempt “The Daily Show” and “Colbert.”

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, Sept. 19: This year, you feel pressured to maintain a high profile at work and within your community. You might worry a lot about funds. Precautions and self-discipline are great; however, what might be a problem is a negative feeling. If you are single, you’ll meet people through your work and commitments.

Around your birthday 2012, you could meet someone significant. If you are attached, work and live as a team. Stoke the friendship. Gemini admires your attitude.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Keep a dialogue going. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening.

A partner or associate is quite clear about his or her priorities. Tonight: Avoid a snippy conversation.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Be sensitive to expenditures. In the long run, even if your checkbook isn’t the one paying, others could be resentful of your sometimes extravagant style. Tonight: Become more aware of another person’s limits.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your perspective might change radically if you could take in another person’s view. At the moment, you simply seem to be closed off. Tonight: Kick up your heels. Forget what day of the week it is.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Take your time making decisions. You might not be as sure of yourself as you’d like.

Tonight: Do for you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Use today to focus on a key goal. You find that you have the backing and support of others. Tonight: Where people are.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) You have no control over others, but you have control over yourself.

Don’t push so hard with others, and zero in on what is important. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) If you follow your intuition and detach from a triggering situation, you’ll stay on top of what is happening. Tonight: Let your mind lead and your body follow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be more willing to try another ap-

Dear Mike: Please inform your doctor of your concerns so he can make sure Dee follows professional standards and doesn’t discuss your health with your wife or anyone else. It is also OK to ask your doctor to examine you without Dee present or to have her leave before you disrobe. Perhaps he can record his notes if he has difficulty remembering them.

Dear Annie: My wife said I should ask for your advice.

We have a next-door neighbor, “Dee,” whose husband died 10 years ago. She’s become my wife’s best friend and confidant. I help with maintenance on her house and car. We both think the world of her.

My doctor has a small practice with one nurse. I’ve been going to him forever, but he’s getting along in years. He has a hard time keeping up with the patient charts and taking notes, so he has his nurse stay in the exam room after prepping the patients in order to assist the doctor. I’m a modest guy, but I’ve tolerated this extra woman in the room. This worked out fine until recently.

The nurse left when her husband relocated. Dee is a nurse, and she applied for the position and got it. I’m now faced with the prospect of having Dee in the room while the doctor examines me. I’m not comfortable with this. I can’t ask for a different nurse because there isn’t one. My wife thinks I’m being silly. She says seeing men undressed is part of Dee’s job and no big deal.

She also told me that before Dee applied for the job, she asked if this would be a problem and my wife assured her it wouldn’t. I don’t
