KANSAS COURT OF APPEALS

Jaeger received a fair trial, judges rule —————

‘We conclude that the evidence in the record overwhelmingly supports the jury’s verdict’

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A panel of the Kansas Court of Appeals on Friday affirmed the conviction of Matthew Jaeger, who was sentenced to nine years in prison for a brutal attack on his former girlfriend in Lawrence.

The three-judge panel considered numerous issues brought up by Jaeger, but concluded that he received a fair trial.

“Moreover, based on our review of the totality of the circumstances, we do not find that Jaeger was substantially prejudiced by any of his allegations of error,” the panel said, adding, “Finally, we Jaeger conclude that the evidence in the record overwhelmingly supports the jury’s verdict.”

Elizabeth Herbert, one of Jaeger’s attorneys, said she and lead counsel Pedro Irigonegaray, intend to appeal the decision to the Kansas Supreme Court.

In 2009, a Douglas County jury convicted Jaeger of kidnapping, aggravated battery and making a criminal threat.

Prosecutors said Jaeger, a former Kansas University student who is originally from suburban Chicago, burst into Francie Biggs’ apartment

in October 2007, choked her and caused severe injuries to her vaginal area. She was hospitalized for 11 days. An obstetrician and gynecologist said she had never seen such an extensive gynecological injury and that it probably resulted from the application of a significant blunt force.

Jaeger said there was insufficient evidence to support the kidnapping conviction. But the appeals panel Please see JAEGER, page 2A

Lawrence Public Library nearing $1 million fundraising goal The library offered naming opportunities — beginning with a $25,000 donation — to several A $1 million campaign to areas of the library including reading rooms, raise funds for an expanded meeting rooms, technology areas, the children’s Lawrence Public Library is room and others.

nearly complete, library leaders announced Friday.

The Library Foundation announced it has raised $960,000 of the $1 million goal. The campaign has attracted more than 200 donors, with gifts ranging from a few dollars to a $100,000 donation from the Ross and Marianna Beach Foundation.

“The people in Lawrence

are incredibly generous,” said Joan Golden, chairwoman of the library’s fundraising campaign. “The response to the library’s campaign has been overwhelming. People are just walking in with gifts, and every day we receive donations in the mail.”

Kathleen Morgan, development director for the library foundation, said she hopes the campaign will reach its goal by the end of the year.

“It would be a wonderful holiday gift,” Morgan said.

Once the campaign is completed, Morgan said,

the library will release a list of donors who have bought naming rights to portions of the library. The library offered naming opportunities — beginning with a $25,000 donation — to several areas of the library including reading rooms, meeting rooms, technology areas, the children’s room and others.

The library expansion is slated to be a $19 million project, with $18 million of the project funded through a city bond issue approved by voters. The project will involve adding about

20,000 square feet of new space, renovating all existing spaces and building a new parking garage.

Morgan said the $1 million in private donations will be used to provide enhancements to several areas of the library, including the outdoor plaza, the technology area, the children’s room, the young-adult area, and the addition of technology to make the library more green-friendly.

TOPEKA — Plans are under way to replace the Capitol’s copper dome.

When complete, the dome will be as shiny as a new penny, but it will cost a whole lot more.

Try $10.3 million.

At a meeting of the Capitol Preservation Committee, Statehouse Architect Barry Greis gave a rundown of progress on the $296 million project to restore, renovate and add new space to the building.

Since the Capitol project started in 2000 at an initial estimate of $90 million, the project has had several expensive addons and cost overruns.

Preservation Committee member William “Bill” Wagnon asked why the dome needed to be replaced.

“We can’t stop the leaks,” Greis said. “They are significant.”

Then the committee questioned what the dome — now a patchwork of green blotches — would look like when replaced.

Greis said the new copper would be bright and shiny. Within a month or two, however, the copper will start to oxidize and turn a dull brown. He said it may take 30 years before the copper starts to turn green again.

Committee member Lana Gordon, a Republican legislator from Topeka, asked if the weight of the Ad Astra statue put a strain on the dome. Greis said the statue was well-supported and causing no problem to the roof structure.

Several committee members wanted to know what would happen with the old copper.

Some of it will be sold to a salvage company and some given to the State Historical Society, Greis said. Committee member Carol McDowell said some of the copper should be made into souvenirs and sold to help offset the cost.

The job of taking down the copper and replacing it may start next spring.

mission, including help for paying winter heating bills.

“We want these families to have as much notice about this as possible,” Sparks said.

“Unfortunately, there’s nothing left at the Department of Labor.”

Kansas qualified for the program in August 2009 and has had a three-month unemployment average of greater than 6.5 percent ever since.

But the state has started to see job growth and employers have been increasing existing workers’ wages, Sparks said, adding that new hires were at a slower rate than state officials would like. The state must be off the extended program for a minimum of 13 weeks before it could be eligible to resume, should the economy weaken, she said.

That would be in April when the state traditionally sees an increase in hiring.

“It could happen, but we’re not likely to see that happen based on what we are seeing,” Sparks said.

The regular state and federal unemployment benefit programs will expire Dec. 31 unless Congress reauthorizes them before the deadline — and that has begun to seem unlikely, Sparks said. If the programs aren’t reinstated until January, Congress may make the benefits retroactive and the unemployed would receive back compensation.

“We’ve been down this road twice before,” Sparks said.

shortened the height of the building once already after residents of the adjacent neighborhood expressed concerns.

Bill Fleming, an attorney for the development group, said the group will continue to work with the city and neighbors.

“We’ve been very consistent with everybody that we need to build the building to a certain height to make the project work and to make the project a good one,” Fleming said. “But we want to do all we can to address the concerns that are out there.”

The Historic Resources Commission had denied the previous version of the project. The HRC will consider the new version after the architectural review committee provides its analysis of the project. A date for that meeting hasn’t been set.

If the HRC approves the project, it will have the necessary City Hall approvals to begin construction. If the HRC rejects the project, the developers could appeal the decision to the Lawrence City Commission.

noted that an eyewitness saw her being dragged to a car.

Jaeger also alleged there was insufficient evidence to support the aggravated battery conviction. Jaeger’s expert witness said Biggs’ injury was compatible with a “straddle injury” and that falling on a bed rail was probably the cause of her injuries.

But doctors who treated Biggs said she did not suffer a straddle injury.

Jaeger also alleged that District Court Judge Robert Fairchild erred in limiting cross examination of Biggs regarding an alleged attempt to extort money Fairchild from someone. But the appeals panel said the law did not allow for such evidence to be admitted.

Jaeger also sought a new trial because one of the jurors was dismissed for juror misconduct after the juror said he had tried to conduct an experiment with his girlfriend “to determine whether a person could fall onto a bed rail and suffer the same type of injury that Biggs suffered to her genitalia.”

Defense counsel said he spoke with dismissed juror and it was that juror’s opinion that Jaeger was not guilty, according to the appeals court opinion.

Fairchild “was placed in a difficult position” when finding out about the juror misconduct, the appeals court said. But the panel said that under the circumstances it was appropriate to dismiss the offending juror. He then spoke with remaining jurors and determined they had not been “contaminated” by the dismissed juror.

Ex-Fannie, Freddie CEOs charged

Kids give officers the gift of smiles

Two former CEOs at mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Friday became the highest-profile individuals to be charged in connection with the 2008 financial crisis.

In a lawsuit filed in New York, the Securities and Exchange Commission brought civil fraud charges against six former executives at the two firms, including former Fannie CEO Daniel Mudd and former Freddie CEO Richard Syron.

The executives were accused of understating the level of high-risk subprime mortgages that Fannie and Freddie held just before the housing bubble burst.

“Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives told the world that their subprime exposure was substantially smaller than it really was,” said Robert Khuzami,

Author, essayist Hitchens dies at 62 Christopher Hitchens, the engaging and enraging British-American author and essayist whose polemical writings on religion, politics, war and other provocations established him as one of his generation’s most robust public intellectuals, has died. He was 62.

Hitchens died Thursday night at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, said his literary agent, Steve Wasserman.

Hitchens was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer in June 2010, when his memoir, “Hitch-22,” hit the best-seller lists. He wrote and spoke unflinchingly of his grim prognosis and acknowledged that years of heavy smoking and drinking had placed him at high risk for the aggressive disease.

Issues at KU, Bioscience Authority spur New Year’s wishes

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Now’s the time of year when people start thinking about New Year’s resolutions and how they would like to make some positive changes for themselves or for society in general.

At the outset, this writer acknowledges he has some personal challenges and improvements on his own list of resolutions. However, shifting to other resolutions, there are many on the wish list but three, in particular, that pertain to Kansas University and higher education in Kansas. In no particular order, here are those three:

A wish that KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and/or the Kansas Board of Regents will step up to the plate, screw up their courage and remove Barbara Atkinson as executive vice chancellor and

dean of the KU School of Medicine.

A second wish involves the Board of Regents. It’s obvious, for one reason or another, the board does not have as good a handle on what is going on at the state’s six universities, 19 community colleges, the KU School of Medicine, the Kansas State School of Veterinary Medicine and six technical schools.

This is shortchanging the state, its taxpayers, students and faculty.

Although not directly tied to the universities or higher education, a final wish is that more attention needs to be given to the nomination of individuals to serve as trustees of the Kansas Bioscience Authority. This group can play a tremendous role in the betterment of Kansas, but in recent years it has been used for partisan political objectives.

Getting back to the first wish

concerning the KU medical school situation. Gov. Sam Brownback has made it clear he wants to see the school advance in national rankings. He cites the tremendous record of the KU Hospital and how it climbed in a period of about 15 years.

COMMENTARY Fifteen years ago, it faced three alternatives: close it, sell it or make the necessary changes to build it into a national leader. Today the hospital ranks among the top five teaching hospitals in the country and has been cited by U.S. News & World Report as among the nation’s best in a number of categories and Kansas City’s best hospital. The

2

reason? Excellent, visionary leadership, a board that is on top of the overall operation, a commitment to making the welfare of patients the No. 1 priority and great staff morale.

Unfortunately, this is lacking at the KU medical school. It is clear the KU School of Medicine has little chance of achieving the level of excellence reached by KU Hospital unless Atkinson is removed from her leadership positions.

Next, the regents. Those serving on the Kansas Board of Regents are well-intentioned men and women, but the demands placed on this nine-member body are far greater today than they were years ago. It is obvious the regents are not as well-informed and up to date as they should be about what is going on at the various campuses. They are being spoon-fed by the chancellor, presidents and provosts and are

not aware of serious troubles. For example, they knew little about the terrible and criminal mess in the KU athletics department until it finally exploded in the media. They knew nothing about the manner in which Lew Perkins ran the department and little about the recent mess in the KU School of Business.

They also have allowed the mess in the KU School of Medicine to grow and spread without intervening. Who knows how many other situations exist at the other regents schools across the state?

The responsibilities of the regents have grown to a level that they need a way to stay better informed of what is happening in and around the state’s higher education system.

It would be good to have a group Please see COLUMN, page 4A

“How mixed up the world is? They will know that as an adult,” said Shoemaker, who patrols Douglas and Franklin counties in what is now his 22nd year in law enforcement and 12th with the patrol. “They don’t know that as kids. They smile. They laugh. They have a care-free attitude.

“They put a smile on your face,” Shoemaker said. “Can’t beat it.”

Ballard Community Services organized the event, called Take our Youth Shopping (TOYS), to help the 3to 5-year-olds in its programs

for low-income families. But organizers know the benefits for law-enforcement personnel, too.

Last week, a police officer was killed in the line of duty, and on Thursday a state trooper suffered serious injuries responding to a robbery call. The dangers, risks and sacrifices of duty are real, said Dianne Ensminger, Ballard’s CEO. Allowing personnel from the Kansas Highway Patrol, Lawrence Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and Kansas University police to relax, help out and interact with kids in a positive environment couldn’t have come at a better time, she said.

“My hope is that it reminds them of why they became of-

Holiday Pittie Party!

All this month, the Lawrence Humane Society will waive all adoption fees for wonderful bully breeds waiting on a forever home. Every adoption includes spay/neuter, microchip, collar, tag, and vaccinations. Although the adoption fee is waived, adoption requirements must be met.

These beautiful dogs are eager to “go home for the holidays.”

Common stereotypes have been unfair to these breeds, like the American Staffordshire Terrier and American Bull Terrier -- they are highly intelligent, extremely loyal, and form close bonds with humans. With proper socialization, bully breeds get along very well with other dogs and cats in home environments. Their handsome, soft, short coat is not prone to shedding. They also make excellent jogging partners!

All bully breed pets at the Lawrence Humane Society have completed special training by professionals experienced with bully breeds. Plus, each adoption includes 5 weeks of training for new owners at Pit Bull E.D.U. at no cost.

ficers in the first place,” Ensminger said.

The morning began with complimentary breakfasts at McDonald’s and finished after the kids had exhausted the $50 gift cards donated by Hallmark Cards’ Lawrence production center.

As they climbed back onto their school buses, many of the kids themselves sported shiny stickers and plastic badges designating them as junior deputies, junior police officers or junior troopers. They would leave with a new, positive experience with law enforcement, something new to kids whose older brothers, parents and other families members may be in jail.

Shoemaker, walking back to his car, certainly appreciated the welcome break from the events of the past few days and the chance to make a difference, “It’s awesome,” Shoemaker said. “I would do this every day if I could.”

of highly qualified individuals selected to serve as the eyes and ears for the regents at each school. They would have no power to bring about any change. Their only role would be to be alert to situations that could develop into more serious problems, offer their observations and do what they could to give the regents the best chance of helping each institution reach its potential in serving the state.

Members of these groups should not be selected by the schools’ alumni boards, endowment boards or athletic boards and they shouldn’t be drawn from the schools’ largest fiscal supporters. They should not reflect partisan political motives but rather be groups, not too big, of committed, honest people who are genuinely interested in what’s best for the schools.

Face it. Today the regents do not have the knowledge they need to do a good, thorough job.

There could be separate panels or groups for the KU School of Medicine and the Kansas State School of Veterinary Medicine. Are there situations at the veterinary school that are keeping that school from receiving higher levels of national recognition? How does KSU rank nationally?

Next, the KBA. This association can be a powerful force in helping Kansas become a better state in so many ways.

Unfortunately, a year or so after the association started to show impressive success in

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD attracting new business and new jobs, initiating plans to attract star-quality researchers and faculty to the state’s universities and setting up early planning to attract the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility to Manhattan, politics entered the picture.

Former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius wanted to inject politics into the board of trustees positions just as she tried to do with the KU Hospital board.

It was an ugly scene. There were, and currently are, several investigations into what took place in recent years and, unfortunately, the much-touted forensic audit of the activities of the KBA board and its former leader, Tom Thornton, is likely to be incomplete, prove little or be pretty much a whitewash, just like the forensic audit of the KU athletics department.

What can you expect when the firm or individual being investigated selects the firm to conduct the audit?

There are several vacancies coming up on the KBA board. It would be good if the governor called a meeting of those who make board appointments — the Senate and House majority and minority leaders, plus the governor — and emphasize the importance of nominating individuals on their merit, their excellence and what they can do for the state, rather than using the appointments to reward friends, pay off political IOUs or load the board with

individuals loyal to one university or another.

One more matter. KU Chancellor Gray-Little, Provost Jeff Vitter and others are to be complimented on their recently announced goals for the university. A great deal of work went into distilling hundreds of ideas and dreams.

The goals sound worthy, and the vision is to be applauded, BUT what are the timely targets? How will we know if and when the goals have been achieved? What will be the mark of success in three, five or 10 years? Are there immediate goals and benchmarks?

Some years ago, former KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway challenged the university community to aim for very high goals. First, he called for KU academically to become one of the top 25 state universities in the country and then move into the top 25 of all research universities. These goals got the attention of all interested in KU, but for one reason or another, the efforts and achievements fell far short.

Gray-Little’s goals are more modest, but again, what are the time targets and how will we know if and when they have been reached?

Unfortunately, history shows a high percentage of well-intentioned New Year’s resolutions fall short, but that’s no reason not to set some challenging goals.

I’m dreaming of

LADY

My “class clown” personality is so much fun. With a soft tan coat marked with white (including all four feet!), I’m a cute 1-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier. My big heart makes up for my small size (35 pounds) and makes me a great family dog. And did I mention I’m smart? If you can teach me some new tricks, I’m ready to learn! I’m in foster care right now, so please call ahead to schedule a time to visit me.

Now here’s a real lovely Lady, longhaired and so striking in my coat of wonderful colors – chocolate and peaches ‘n cream. Must be those choice colors that make me so sweet, if you get my meaning. Elegant describes me, but warm, friendly, and loving really tell my story. My entire 6 years I’ve been all about people, which is why I look through my window every day hoping there’s someone to love this Lady.

BENGAL

Everyone says I’m “easy on the eyes,” and please come see for yourself. Whether it’s my handsome face, my physique, or my beautiful brindle coat, I’m a sophisticated 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier, a shade over 50 pounds, and ready to learn from an experienced owner. Cats, other dogs, and even kids aren’t really my thing.

Loyalty and one-on-one love is what this Beau is all about. That’s what I can give, and you know what, that’s a heck of a deal.

I reluctantly agreed to wear this hat, so this better work: I’m here to wish you a happy holiday and ask if someone can find me a forever home this winter. I’m a young American Staffordshire Terrier, and my smooth brindle coat has some cute white mixed in. A bit shy in my kennel, I warm up quickly with people and get along well with other dogs. During our “Pittie Party” this month, my adoption fees have been waived. Ho ho ho!

Some spooky eyes, huh? Don’t let them scare you away – I’m just trying to look somber, like my name, which doesn’t fit me at all. When I’m not mugging for the camera, I’m an adorable, funloving kitty, a bit laid back, and happy to share my space with other cats. If you want to see smiling eyes, just run your hand over my beautiful silky coat.

Ah, that’s smooth, that’s sweet, that’s special – that’s me!

I’ve got about a decade of experience now which means you’ll find me to be very calm, friendly and low maintenance.

My big, bushy tri-color coat makes me one handsome woman, and you’ll want to rub me all day long. My former owners dropped me at the shelter, said they worked too much to care for me. That’s really sad because I don’t ask for much, except love. Maybe now you can give me a comfy home for my golden years?

At about 7 pounds, I’m just a little guy who’s big on fun! Attention? I can’t get enough. And love? I can’t give enough!

Don’t think me an ordinary black cat.

No way. The folks here say I have an “awesomely unique personality.”

What’s that mean? I guess the only way to learn my secret is to come meet me. I’m 3 to 5 years old, full of play, and as your best friend, I’m simply a “saint” (as in Nicholas!).

A Journal-World article about the annual Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade said it cost about $20,000 and was sponsored by businesses.

What does the $20,000 go toward?

A:

According to Phillip Bradley, parade committee chair, the $20,000 is spent on three major areas: lodging for out-oftown carriage owners; catered meals and other supplies for parade volunteers; and advertising for the event. Bradley said the parade does not pay any employees, and it’s an all-volunteer effort. For more information, visit lawrencechristmasparade.org.

BRIEFLY Man gets probation in unlawful sex case A Douglas County judge sentenced an 18-year-old Lawrence man Friday to serve 18 months on probation for having a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl last May. Morgan Rego had pleaded no contest in October to one count of having unlawful voluntary sexual relations with a child between the ages of 14 and 16. District Judge Kay Huff also ordered Rego to obtain a comprehensive mental-health evaluation and follow all recommendations.

Rego qualified for probation based on the state’s sentencing guidelines. Prosecutors said the girl was 14 at the time of the incident in Lawrence.

At the October plea hearing, Huff and defense attorney Greg Robinson said because the age difference between Rego and the girl was less than four years he won’t be required to register as a sex offender.

Senate leaders reach accord on tax cuts Compromise would require Obama to make decision on pipeline

By Alan Fram and David Espo Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Senate leaders agreed on compromise legislation to extend Social Security payroll tax cuts and jobless benefits for two months while requiring President Barack Obama to accept Republican demands for a swift decision on the fate of an oil pipeline that promises thousands of jobs.

A vote is expected today on the measure, the last in a highly contentious year of divided government.

Any deal would also require House passage before it could reach Obama’s desk.

A senior administration official said on condition of anonymity that the president would sign the measure but almost certainly refuse to grant a permit for the oil pipeline project. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the deal.

Racing to adjourn for the year, lawmakers moved quickly to clear separate legislation avoiding a partial government shutdown threatened for midnight.

There was no immedi-

ate response to the compromise from the White House, which a few hours earlier had backed away from Obama’s threat to veto any bill that linked the payroll tax cut extension with a Republican demand for a speedy decision on the 1,700-mile Keystone XL oil pipeline proposed from Canada to Texas.

Republican senators leaving a closed-door meeting put the price tag of the twomonth package at between $30 billion and $40 billion said the cost would be covered through a fee on mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The legislation would also provide a 60-day reprieve from a scheduled 27 percent cut in the fees paid to doctors who treat Medicare patients.

Several officials said it would require a decision within 60 days on the pipeline, with the president required to authorize construction unless he determined that would not be in the national interest.

Obama recently announced he was postponing a decision until after the 2012 elections on the much-stud-

ied proposal. Environmentalists oppose the project, but several unions support it, putting the president in the uncomfortable position of having to choose between customary political allies.

Senators in both parties hastened to claim credit.

Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., issued a statement that said the compromise included legislation he authored “that forces President Obama to make a decision” on the pipeline.

Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., said he had “brokered a final deal by bringing lawmakers from both parties together to support jobs.”

Officials said that in private talks, the two sides had hoped to reach agreement on the full one-year extension of payroll tax cuts and jobless benefits that Obama had made the centerpiece of the jobs program he submitted to Congress last fall.

Those efforts failed when the two sides could not agree on enough offsetting cuts to make sure the deficit wouldn’t rise.

“We’ll be back discussing the same issues in a couple of months, but from our point of view, we think the keystone

pipeline is a very important job-creating measure in the private sector that doesn’t cost the government a penny,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader.

There was no immediate reaction from House Speaker John Boehner. Neither he nor his aides participated in the negotiations, although McConnell said he was optimistic about the measure’s chances for final approval.

Obama said on Dec. 7 that “any effort to try to tie Keystone to the payroll tax cut I will reject. So everybody should be on notice.”

More recently, a veto threat issued Tuesday against the House-passed version of the bill cited the introduction of “ideological issues into what should be a simple debate about cutting taxes for the middle class.” Senior administration officials later told reporters that was a reference to the pipeline.

The State Department, in an analysis released this summer, said the project would create up to 6,000 jobs during construction, while developer TransCanada put the total at 20,000 in direct employment.

Congress flips dimmer switch on light bulb law

By Matthew Daly Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans in Congress are flipping the dimmer switch on a law that sets new energy-savings standards for light bulbs.

They’ve reached a deal to delay until October enforcement of standards that some fear will bring about the end of old-style 100-watt bulbs. GOP lawmakers say they’re trying to head off more government interference in people’s lives.

But environmentalists and the light bulb industry say the move is not too bright.

Language postponing enforcement of the light bulb law — it was set to take ef-

fect Jan. 1 — was included in a massive spending bill that funds the government through September. The House passed the measure on Friday, with approval expected Saturday in the Senate.

Rep. Fred Upton, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the light bulb delay shows Congress is listening to the American people.

“We heard the message loud and clear,” said Upton, R-Mich. “Americans don’t want government standards determining how they light their homes.”

Upton said he was not opposed to the more efficient — and expensive— curlicue

fluorescents that have become increasingly familiar in recent years. But he said government should not penalize those who prefer traditional, incandescent bulbs.

“New lighting options are great news for the public, but the lesson is that markets and consumer demand are the best drivers of innovation and new choices,” Upton said.

Sen. Jeff Bingaman, chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the move would have little practical consequence, since it does not affect a 2007 law that requires manufacturers to produce or import more efficient bulbs.

The five largest light bulb

manufacturers have already switched to making and selling the more efficient bulbs, Bingaman said, so the enforcement delay only serves to confuse the public.

“Blocking funds to enforce minimum standards works against our nation getting the full benefits of energy efficiency,” said Bingaman, D-N.M., a key sponsor of the 2007 law, which was signed by President George W. Bush.

A group representing light bulb manufacturers spoke out against the delay, which applies only to 100-watt bulbs.

Tighter standards for 75-watt bulbs take effect in 2013, and lower wattage bulbs must be more efficient by 2014.

Penn St. coach says he saw, reported abuse

By Mark Scolforo and Maryclaire Dale Associated Press

HARRISBURG, PA. — As soon as he walked into the Penn State locker room, Mike McQueary heard running water and rhythmic, slapping sounds of “skin on skin.” He looked in a mirror and saw a naked Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant coach, holding a young boy by the waist from behind, up against the wall in the campus shower.

“I just saw Coach Sandusky in the showers with a boy and what I saw was wrong and sexual,” McQueary recalled telling his father that night in 2002. He repeated it the next morning to coach Joe Paterno, who slumped deep into his chair at his kitchen table.

“He said, ‘I’m sorry you had to see that,’” McQueary said.

McQueary’s testimony Friday at a preliminary hearing for two Penn State officials accused of covering up the story was the most detailed, public account yet of the child sex abuse allegations

that have upended the university’s football program and the entire central Pennsylvania campus.

Paterno and the university president have lost their jobs, and officials Tim Curley and Gary Schultz are accused of lying to a grand jury about what McQueary told them.

A Pennsylvania judge on Friday held Curley, the university’s athletic director, and Schultz, a retired senior vice president, for trial after the daylong hearing.

Curley said that McQueary never relayed the seriousness of what he saw, and said he was only told that Sandusky was “horsing around” with a boy but that his conduct wasn’t sexual.

He said he told the university president about the episode and the top official at a children’s charity that Sandusky founded, but never told university police. “I didn’t see any reason because I didn’t think at the time it was a crime,” he told the grand jury, according to testimony read into the record on Friday.

States unlikely to heed call for cell ban

By Jim Salter Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Lawmakers in Missouri had the chance, after two buses packed with high school band members slammed into a freeway wreck caused by a teenager who was sending a flurry of text messages, to impose tougher limits on driver cellphone use. It got filibustered.

Federal transportation officials are citing that accident in pushing for states to enact an all-out ban on cellphone use by drivers, restricting the use even of hands-free devices. But spurring lawmakers to take up the cause may be difficult. Skeptical lawmakers give the proposal little chance at succeeding in state capitols around the country, and many aren’t planning on introducing ban bills.

The reason? While acknowledging growing safety concerns, lawmakers are wary of inconveniencing commuters and say a complete ban would be one of the deepest government intrusions yet into the daily lives of motorists who have woven their phones tightly into their daily routines. Others are worried a ban would be unenforceable. And the cellphone legislation in most states already took years to get approved.

“It’s a popular thing to pass another law,” said Bill Stouffer, a Missouri Republican and chairman of the state’s Senate Transportation Committee. “But anything that takes your eyes off the road is just as deadly as texting or talking on the cellphone. Where does it end?

Why not ban map reading or eating while driving?”

The centerpiece of the NTSB’s proposal was an August 2010 wreck southwest of St. Louis in which a pickup truck slammed into the back of a semi cab that had slowed for road construction, and the buses then crashed into the wreckage. The pickup driver, Daniel Schatz, 19, and a bus passenger, Jessica Brinker, 15, died. Thirty-eight people, mostly students, were hurt.

Investigators said Schatz had sent and received 11 texts in 11 minutes just before the accident.

The NTSB’s recommendation far exceeds the patchwork, and largely unenforced, prohibitions many states now have. Thirty-five states and the District of Columbia ban texting while driving, while nine states and Washington, D.C., bar handheld cellphone use. Thirty states ban all cellphone use for beginning drivers. No state bans the use of handsfree devices for all drivers.

In Idaho — which has historically resisted federal mandates and is one of seven states without any sort of regulation on the use of cellphones by drivers — proposed bans have been rejected the last two legislative sessions after lawmakers questioned their enforceability and the need for new government dictates.

South Dakota has a broader law discouraging “distracted driving” but lawmakers have steadily opposed specific bans on electronic devices.

“I was listening to all this heart-wrenching testimony against texting behind the wheel, and I got to thinking about all the calls I’d gone off to where someone was hurt in a car accident,” said South Dakota Republican Rep. Betty Olson, an emergency medical technician from Prairie City. “In just about all of them, they were distracted, so what they were doing was already against the law,” Olson said. “They wouldn’t be paying any more attention to a law banning texting.”

Driver inconvenience is also among the factors state lawmakers cite in their opposition. Others note that cellphones have benefits. In some parts of rural South Dakota, Olson said, a driver’s cellphone can be “a life saver.”

Torrent of bad financial news flows out of Europe DUBLIN (AP) — Alarming financial news flowed out of Europe in a torrent Friday, just a week after the EU leaders struck a deal they thought would contain the continent’s debt crisis.

The bombardment shredded hopes of a lasting solution to the turmoil that is endangering the euro — the currency used by 17 European nations — and threatening the entire global economy.

In quick succession: The Fitch Ratings agency announced it was considering further cuts to the credit scores of six eurozone nations — heavyweights Italy and Spain, as well as Belgium, Cyprus, Ireland and Slovenia. It said all six could face

downgrades of one or two notches.

Moody’s Investors Services downgraded Belgium’s credit rating by two notches.

Belgium’s local- and foreigncurrency government bond ratings fell to “Aa3” from Aa1,” with a negative outlook.

The ratings remain investment grade.

Ireland’s economy shrunk again much deeper than had been expected, with its third-quarter gross domestic product falling 1.9 percent. Ireland is one of three eurozone nations kept solvent only by an international bailout.

Bankers and hedge funds were balking in talks about forgiving 50 percent

of Greece’s massive debts, a key issue in the debate over Greece’s second rescue bailout.

The red ink in Spain’s regional governments surged 22 percent in the last year, endangering the central government’s efforts to cut over-

all Spanish debt.

France, the secondlargest eurozone economy after Germany, warned that it faced at least a temporary recession next year.

The euro hovered Friday just above $1.30, a cent higher than its 11-month low.

Obama lacks resolve on foreign policy issues “Ask Osama bin Laden ... whether I engage in appeasement.”

— Barack Obama, Dec. 8, 2011 WASHINGTON — Fair enough. Barack Obama didn’t appease Osama bin Laden. He killed him. And for ordering the raid and taking the risk, Obama deserves credit. Credit for decisiveness and political courage.

However, the bin Laden case was no test of policy. No serious person of either party ever suggested negotiation or concession. Obama demonstrated decisiveness, but forgoing a non-option says nothing about the soundness of one’s foreign policy.

That comes into play when there are choices to be made.

And here the story is different.

Take Obama’s two major foreignpolicy initiatives — toward Russia and Iran.

The administration came into office determined to warm relations with Russia. It was called “reset,” an antidote to the “dangerous drift” (Vice President Biden’s phrase) in relations during the Bush years.

In fact, the Bush coolness toward Russia was grounded in certain unpleasant realities: the Kremlin’s systematic dismantling of democracy; its naked aggression against Georgia; its drive to re-establish a Russian sphere of influence in the near-abroad; and its support, from Syria to Venezuela, of the world’s more ostentatiously anti-American regimes.

Unmoored from such inconvenient realities, Obama went about his “reset.” The signature decision was the abrupt cancellation of a Polishand Czech-based U.S. missile defense

system bitterly opposed by Moscow.

The cancellation deeply undercut two very pro-American allies who had aligned themselves with Washington in the face of both Russian threats and popular unease. Obama not only left them twisting in the wind. He showed the world that the Central Europeans’ hard-won independence was only partial and tentative. With American acquiescence, their ostensibly sovereign decisions were subject to a Russian veto.

This major concession, together with a New START treaty far more needed by Russia than America, was supposed to ease U.S.-Russia relations, assuage Russian opposition to missile defense and enlist its assistance in

stopping Iran’s nuclear program.

Three years in, how is that “reset” working out? The Russians are back on the warpath about missile defense.

They’re denouncing the watereddown Obama substitute. They threaten not only to target any Europe-based U.S. missile defenses but also to install offensive missiles in Kaliningrad. They threaten additionally to withdraw from the START treaty, which the administration had touted as a great foreignpolicy achievement.

As for assistance on Iran, Moscow has thwarted us at every turn, weakening or blocking resolution after resolution. And now, when even the International Atomic Energy Agency has testified to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Russia declares that it will oppose any new sanctions.

Finally, adding contempt to mere injury, Vladimir Putin responded to anti-government demonstrations by unleashing a crude Soviet-style attack on America as the secret power behind the protests. Putin personally accused Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of sending “a signal” that activated internal spies and other agents of imperial America.

Such are the wages of appeasement. Makes one pine for mere “drift.”

Even worse has been Obama’s vaunted “engagement” with Iran. He began his presidency apologetically acknowledging U.S. involvement in a coup that happened more than 50 years ago. He then offered bilateral negotiations that, predictably, failed miserably. Most egregiously, he adopted a studied and scandalous neu-

trality during the popular revolution of 2009, a near-miraculous opportunity — now lost — for regime change.

Obama imagined that his silver tongue and exquisite sensitivity to Islam would persuade the mullahs to give up their weapons program.

Amazingly, they resisted his charms, choosing instead to become a nuclear power. The negotiations did nothing but confer legitimacy on the regime at its point of maximum vulnerability — and savagery.

For his exertions, Obama earned (a) continued lethal Iranian assistance to guerrillas killing Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, (b) a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador by blowing up a Washington restaurant, (c) the announcement just this week by a member of parliament of Iranian naval exercises to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, (d) undoubted Chinese and Russian access to a captured U.S. drone for the copying and countering of its high-tech secrets.

How did Obama answer that one?

On Monday, he politely asked for the drone back.

On Tuesday, with Putin-like contempt, Iran demanded that Obama apologize instead. “Obama begs Iran to give him back his toy plane,” reveled the semiofficial Fars News Agency.

Just a few hours earlier, Secretary Clinton asserted yet again that “we want to see the Iranians engage ... we are not giving up on it.”

Blessed are the cheek-turners. But do these people have no limit?

Code enforcement To the editor: According to documents presented, 12th Street Recycling was never a salvage yard per se. It has been a location for auto repair. For decades, as an auto repair business, the property was maintained to an impeccable level. Since 12th Street Recycling arrived, the fence has sustained much damage and is falling into disrepair.

This lot never had mountains of material stacked until 12th Street Recycling arrived. There was not a ton of wrecker traffic or salvage yard traffic until 12th Street Recycling arrived.

What we have here is many code violations and lack of enforcement of the codes. Had 12th Street Recycling operated according to code(s), this entire matter would not be news.

There is no logic in allowing an operation to remain open that is in violation of multiple codes and has been for some time.

Industrial use is not permitted by code in neighborhoods. Isn’t it odd that previous owners did not encounter the same concerns that 12th Street

Recycling has brought on itself?

Once again, what we have here is many code violations and lack of enforcement of the codes. This placed the City Commission in quite a curious position. Speculation tells me they would have been well within their authority to issue a cease and desist order based on the extraordinary presentation by members of the Brook Creek Neighborhood Association.

Immigration policy To the editor: The AP article reporting on state and local efforts to enforce federal immigration and residency policy was a bit behind the curve; this has been going on for a while. The current story is that places like Alabama that have passed legislation designed to be hostile to immigrants are seeing disastrous economic effects. Back in October, the Houston Chronicle reported that farmers in Alabama were facing ruin due to a labor shortage that left their crops rotting in the fields.

Alabama’s immigration measures, and international firms are rethinking plans to invest in the state.

People come to the U.S. don’t only follow jobs; they generate economic activity, which is exactly what we need right now.

Penguin exhibit coming to Topeka Zoo TOPEKA — Topeka Zoo officials hope penguins will help boost attendance at the zoo this summer by at least 25 percent.

A traveling penguin exhibit, called Penguin Plunge, will be featured at the zoo from May 10 through September.

Zoo officials announced Friday that the exhibit features four to six African penguins in an interactive exhibit similar to the penguins’ South African habitat.

Topeka residents and businesses will be asked to help pay the $120,000 cost of the exhibit, with other funding provided by the Friends of the Zoo. Zoo director Brendan Wiley said the penguin exhibit will be included in regular zoo admission prices.

CITY BASKETBALL SHOWDOWN

Fight to the finish

FREE STATE AND LAWRENCE HIGH PLAYERS FIGHT FOR POSSESSION of a rebound during the Free State-Lawrence High boys basketball game on Friday at FSHS. LHS won, 75-68, in overtime.

Lions hold off Firebirds in OT to snap four-game rivalry skid

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

It wouldn’t be the city showdown if it didn’t come down to the wire.

Lawrence High’s boys basketball team outlasted archrival Free State, 75-68 in overtime, Friday night in front of a packed house at FSHS, successfully bringing a four-game losing streak in the rivalry series to a halt.

LHS (4-1) did it by protecting the ball and burying free throws in the extra four-minute period. After Firebirds senior guard Brett Frantz forced overtime with an offensive rebound put-back with no time remaining in the fourth quarter, Lawrence outscored FSHS, 11-4, in overtime by hitting nine of 14 from the charity stripe.

Lawrence senior KJ Pritchard, who missed two free throws with 12 seconds to go in regulation,

made the most of his time at the foul line in OT, going 5-for-6.

On a night that Pritchard struggled from the floor, hitting three of 15 shots, fellow LHS senior Anthony Buffalomeat said his teammate more than made up for it by taking on primary ball-handling responsibilities in overtime and bouncing back with clutch free throws.

“We all have confidence in him,” Buffalomeat said of Pritchard, who scored a team-high 18 points.

“He’ll get a little low at times, but he’s always confident.”

came on its first possession, when junior guard Jake Mosiman gave a shoulder fake on the baseline, then turned to bury a jumper. Lions coach Mike Lewis said after his team had given FSHS (2-3) momentum by allowing Frantz (24 points) to send the game to overtime, Mosiman’s cold-hearted jumper sent a message that Lawrence needed to finish off the Firebirds.

“It immediately gives everybody else a little adrenaline rush, a little confidence, and we fed off of it,” Lewis said.

The Firebirds felt the impact of Mosiman’s jumper. Coach Chuck Law, whose team had been outscored 9-2 in overtime before Frantz drove in for the Firebirds’ only basket of the period with 37 seconds left, said LHS took control.

The Free State and Lawrence High girls are almost complete opposites on the basketball court.

The Lions are a young team that tries to control the game through the half-court. The Firebirds are more experienced and like to run the floor and score in transition.

Free State’s fast-paced attack was the difference in its 64-47 home victory against rival Lawrence High on Friday night.

“We played into their hands, as opposed to doing what we want to do,” LHS coach Nick Wood said.

The game plan, Wood said, was to force FSHS to work in a halfcourt offense and slow the game down. It didn’t work until about the third quarter, when the Lions’ post players, junior Monica Howard and sophomore Kionna Coleman, began finding success against the smaller Firebirds.

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Jayhawks regroup, refocus after transfer of playmaker Mays

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

It has been more than a week since Kansas University’s women’s basketball team has played, and when the Jayhawks return to action at 7 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse, their lineup will have a very different look.

When KU (8-1) plays host to UMKC (6-4), it will be without sophomore guard Keena Mays, who announced Dec. 9 she was transferring out of the program.

In eight Mays games for the Jayhawks (she didn’t play in the season opener), Mays averaged 11 points and three rebounds, and shot 33-for-59 (56 percent), while cashing in 10 of her 24

three-pointers (42 percent).

The dynamic 5-foot-7 guard out of Arlington, Texas, scored the deciding basket in a 74-73 Kansas win at Wake Forest on Nov. 20, posted a career-high 21 points Dec. 4 at Alabama (an 80-76 loss) and earned her first start of the season Dec. 8 against Wisconsin. In what proved to be her final game as a Jayhawk, Mays produced 17 points in a 7344 rout.

The next dat at 9 a.m., KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said, Mays and her father, Ken, were in the coach’s office to tell Henrickson she was leaving Kansas.

Henrickson characterized Mays’ decision as “a surprise to all of us,” noting her teammates had no idea about the “disappointing” move.

The eighth-year KU coach found the timing of it all puzzling, because Henrickson thought Mays had started to

Probable starters

KANSAS (8-1) G — Angel Goodrich, 5-4, jr.

G — Natalie Knight, 5-7, fr.

G — CeCe Harper, 5-8, so.

F — Aishah Sutherland, 6-2, sr.

C — Ashli Hill, 6-5, so.

“figure it out” in the past month or so, noting that Mays shot the ball well from three-point range and was a playmaker when handling the ball or playing point guard.

Still, the coach downplayed the impact Mays’ departure will have on the team’s overall effectiveness on the floor.

“We’ve been able to rely upon her for two games,” Henrickson said, referring to the

Jayhawks’ previous two outings, when Mays averaged 19 points. “She’s been really good for two games. That’s the honest truth. That’s from a consistency standpoint.”

Tania Jackson, a KU sophomore forward, said Mays had a big impact and the team will miss her.

“We’ve just got to focus on getting better and filling in that hole,” Jackson said, adding that each player will need to chip in to make the team better.

Junior point guard and team captain Angel Goodrich said the Jayhawks needed to remain positive with the loss of Mays.

“We just need to stay together,” she said.

Goodrich said Kansas has players in the backcourt who can step up and fill the void left

by Mays, and her coach agreed.

Henrickson said freshman guards Donielle Breaux and Asia Boyd, as well as sophomore

CeCe Harper, who is slated to start against UMKC, now have an opportunity to make more of an impact.

Most importantly, Henrickson added, she wants the rest of the Jayhawks to keep doing what they have been doing.

The consistency of junior forward Carolyn Davis (15.9 points, 4.8 rebounds), senior forward Aishah Sutherland (13.6 points, 9.4 boards) and Goodrich (12 points, 7.8 assists, 4.2 steals), she said, would help as much as anything.

Henrickson said she did not know where Mays plans to transfer, but stated in a release announcing the move that it would be “closer to home.”

Bonds sentence: 30 days at home SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Eight years of being investigated for steroid allegations ended for home run king Barry Bonds on Friday with a 30-day sentence to be served at home. No more — and maybe less.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston immediately delayed imposing the sentence while Bonds appeals his obstruction of justice conviction. The former baseball star was found guilty in April not of using steroids, but of misleading grand jurors.

Even without prison time, the case has left its mark on the seven-time National League MVP.

His 762 career home runs, and 73 homers in 2001, may forever be seen as tainted records, and his ticket to baseball’s Hall of Fame is in doubt.

Bonds declined to speak in court. Wellwishers hugged the 47-year-old in the hallway Bonds courtroom after the hearing was over, and a smattering of fans cheered him as he left the courthouse. It was a marked departure

from his initial court appearance four years ago, when guards had to clear a path for Bonds to get through dozens of onlookers to his SUV. “Whatever he did or didn’t do, we all lie,� said Esther Picazo, a fan outside the courthouse. “We all make mistakes. But I don’t think he should’ve gotten any kind of punishment at all.�

Bonds was sentenced to two years of probation, 250 hours of community service, a $4,000 fine and 30 days of home confinement. It will take time to determine whether he serves any of it; his appellate specialist, Dennis

Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella called the sentence a “slap on the wrist� and the fine “almost laughable� for a superstar athlete who made more than $192 million for playing baseball.

Parrella had sought 15 months in prison and argued that home confinement wasn’t punishment enough “for a man with a 15,000-square-foot house with all the advantages.� Bonds lives in a six-bedroom, 10-bath house with a gym and swimming pool.

COMMENTARY

Realignment, scandals ruin 2011 football

TODAY

Cuddyer, Rockies reach three-year deal DENVER — The Colorado Rockies and free-agent outfielder Michael Cuddyer have agreed to a three-year deal worth about $30 million.

The former Minnesota Twins standout is the first big-time free agent the Rockies have signed since 2000, when they brought in pitchers Mike Hampton and Denny Neagle for a combined $172 million.

Cuddyer, who hit .284 with 20 home runs and 70 RBIs last season, also was pursued by the Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners.

By Jimmy Burch Fort Worth Star-Telegram

’Tis the season to honor college football players and coaches, with fresh All-America and all-conference teams surfacing on a daily basis.

But the honors lists and awards shows have overlooked the individuals who truly defined — and undermined — college football’s Lost Season of 2011. Thanks to these people, the fall focus shifted to regents, curators and realignment instead of offense, defense and special teams.

Truth be known, the Big 12’s primary difference-maker in 2011 was not Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy winner.

Instead, it was Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin, who led his school to the Southeastern Conference and severed longtime rivalries in the process. If not Loftin, the honor should go to Baylor President Ken Starr, whose threat of legal action in regard to A&M’s move held the league together long enough to land TCU and West Virginia as 2012 replacements for A&M and Missouri.

Just when we thought we were approaching the finish line in the latest round of realignment, college football took an even bigger hit. Jerry Sandusky, Penn State’s former defensive coordinator, lowered the bar for inappropriate behavior to unprecedented levels in a sport that has seen its share of recruiting scandals.

The Sandusky allegations of child molestation trump even the August claims of former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro, a felon who says he provided impermissible benefits to 72 Miami athletes between 2002 and 2010, including money, cars, jewelry, sex parties and an abortion for a woman impregnated by a Hurricanes player.

Regardless of the color of your class ring or the region of the country involved, the 2011 season has left fans with a feeling that the biggest thing missing from college football has been.... football. The game itself has taken a back seat to offfield issues that still remain. That’s my take, and one that is shared by ESPN college football analyst David Pollack.

The nauseating details of the Sandusky allegations speak for themselves. So do the Shapiro claims. But neither individual is directly connected to college football this season.

The realignment moves, on the other hand, were triggered by college administrators whose timing was less than ideal.

And the moves are still unfolding, with bowl games scheduled to start today. “I wish we could put a muzzle on it during the season. It takes away from the game,� Pollack said. “That’s something that shouldn’t happen and shouldn’t be necessary. If we’re going to have conference expansion talks, they need to be after the season or during the summer.�

And the timetable cannot be controlled.

That was Loftin’s stance in July, when he approached SEC commissioner Mike Slive about resuming realignment talks that were scuttled in 2010.

A&M officials believed former Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe was too lenient in dealing with the growing influence of the Longhorn Network in regard to league policy. Unable to find satisfaction from Beebe, A&M turned to the SEC and started the latest round of realignment dominoes tumbling. They’re still falling, with West Virginia and the Big East locked in a legal dispute about whether the school can fill the 2012 football dates being penciled in for the Mountaineers on prospective Big 12 schedules.

By the time league officials kick off their 2012 football season, here’s hoping the focus can return to the action on the field instead of the moves being made off of it. One Lost Season of college football is plenty for me.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Taylor ‘feeling good’ after surgery hour training-room session in the early afternoon, final exam in the afternoon, then one-hour training session around 5 p.m. The senior was the last person in the training room on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Taylor — who actually pre-habbed with pool exercises before the surgery — is mostly concerned with strengthening the muscles around his knee, which includes his quadriceps.

As part of his rehab, he does quad stretches and treadmill work and also puts weights on his leg before doing leg lifts.

Those exercises are followed by icing to reduce the swelling.

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Tyshawn Taylor wasn’t having any trouble walking around during the Kansas University basketball team’s trip to Wal-Mart on Thursday to shop for needy families.

KU’s senior point guard had surgery Sunday to repair torn meniscus in his right knee.

“It feels better than expected after three days,” Taylor said Thursday. “I’m feeling good. I’m feeling confident about it.”

Taylor was injured during practice on Monday, Dec. 5.

He ended up playing in the Jayhawks’ next two games — against Long Beach State and Ohio State — before electing for surgery.

The procedure Sunday took about an hour, with doctors putting Taylor under general anesthesia.

“They said the tear was bigger than they thought, and they were surprised that I played with it. Which, I’m glad they didn’t tell me that before,” Taylor said with a smile. “Yeah, they said it was pretty big. But it’s out now, and it’s good. I shouldn’t have any problems with it after this.”

Taylor actually said his knee felt better Thursday at Wal-Mart than it did Saturday when he played against Ohio State.

“It gets tight, and stiff sometimes and it’s more swollen than it was,” Taylor said, “but I feel good right now.”

The knee was strong enough that Taylor shot at practice Friday. He did not participate in live drills.

Coach Bill Self has not yet ruled him out for Monday night’s 8 p.m. game versus Davidson in Sprint Center.

“I don’t know yet,” Self said of whether Taylor will

Greene close to announcing: Brannen Greene, a 6-foot-7 junior small forward from Mary Persons High in Forsyth, Ga., is expected to announce his college choice in coming days, Rivals.com reports.

Greene’s dad, Jeffrey, told Rivals.com that three (unspecified) programs had moved to the top of the list of the No. 35-ranked player in the Class of 2013. It has been speculated his three or four favorites are Kansas, UConn, Louisville and Florida. Also remaining on his list: Florida State, Harvard, Memphis and Ohio State.

KU junior forward Thomas Robinson, who had the same injury last year, returned to play in KU’s game against Oklahoma State 10 days after his surgery. The KU-David-

son game will be the eighth day after Taylor’s procedure.

“I knew there was a chance I would possibly miss the Davidson game and possibly the USC game (Thursday). There’s honestly a good chance I won’t miss either,”

Taylor said. “So I’m feeling good about that. I’m definitely not going to rush it, definitely not going to rush it.

But if I can play, I’m going to play, because I know coach is going to give me the OK if I give him the OK.”

If the Hoboken N.J., native plays, it’s likely because of the hard work he put in during final-exam week.

Wednesday and Thursday, Taylor’s schedule looked like this: one-hour training-room session in the morning, one-

Parker to visit?: Tony Parker, a 6-9, 250-pound senior center from Miller Grove High in Lithonia, Ga., may visit KU in the near future, jayhawkslant.com reports. Ohio State has been considered the leader for the No. 33-rated player in the Class of 2012, who is also reportedly considering Duke, Georgia Tech, Memphis and Georgetown.

Tongie boys rally, 70-67 J-W Staff Reports

Boys

Tonganoxie 70, Anderson County 67 GARNETT — For more than a half, Tonganoxie High’s boys found themselves on the wrong side of a lopsided basketball score at Anderson County on Friday.

However, the Chieftains came to life in a big way late and rallied from an 11-point, third-quarter deficit to beat the Bulldogs, 70-67.

Senior Dane Erickson led all scorers with 22 points.

“It would have been real easy for us to feel sorry for ourselves and just quit playing,” THS coach Shawn Phillips said. “But what I’m most proud of about these guys is they kept fighting. It was an uphill battle the entire game.”

The Chieftains (2-1) entered the second half down just eight, but Anderson County extended its lead to 43-32 midway through the third quarter. From there, Phillips’ squad began to chip away.

Tongie trimmed the Bulldogs’ advantage to 54-49 at the end of the period, setting up some late-game fireworks.

Four quick points by junior John Lean put Tonganoxie with four early in the fourth, and the teams traded baskets for several minutes.

The Chieftains took their first lead, 63-61, when Lean completed a three-point play with 1:46 remaining.

Lean, Erickson and junior Josh Ghale made shots down the stretch to keep Tonganoxie in front.

Ghale and Lean scored 17 and 13 points, respectively.

CITY SHOWDOWN

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Boys CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

The momentum seemed to be heavily on the side of the Firebirds late in the fourth quarter. Down four with a minute left, senior guard Cameron Dabney (23 points) drove in for a hoop to cut Lawrence’s lead to two with 57 seconds left.

After Pritchard hit two freebies for LHS with 38 seconds left, the Firebirds’ Frantz scored on a drive 23 seconds later, after an offensive rebound by sophomore Reshawn Caro.

Following Pritchard’s missed free throws at the 12-second mark, Frantz tied the game at 64 after grabbing a missed three-pointer by teammate Kyle McFarland.

All of that came after the Lions responded with grit to the disqualification of senior guard Logan Henrichs with 1:55 left in the fourth quarter. Henrichs had scored 13 points before picking up his fifth foul.

After FSHS sophomore Blake Winslow tied the game at 58 with a free throw, Lawrence sophomore center Bryce Montes de Oca (10 points) scored on a postup to give the Lions a 60-58 lead. Seconds later, Pritchard picked off a Firebirds pass and took it the other way for a two-handed jam.

Upon seeing his team come back in OT and get its first win against Free State since 2009, Lewis couldn’t have been more pleased with his players’ resolve under pressure.

“In this situation, with the guys getting tired, I loved the fact that we hung in there,” he said.

Law said the loss left the Firebirds hanging their heads as they entered their locker room, but he told them that wasn’t necessary after another intense game with LHS. Law said the rivalry game never disappoints in the excitement category.

“It’s the same every time,” Law said. “Our kids played great. You couldn’t ask for anything more.”

The coach was especially proud of his team, because Free State lost starting senior forward Gabe Patterson — at 6-foot-3, its tallest player — during warmups due to a strained hip flexor. McFarland, a junior, started in his place and scored eight points.

Despite Free State coming in as an underdog and playing without its top big man, the game lived up to its usual hype, which didn’t surprise Lewis.

“That’s classic Lawrence High-Free State,” the LHS coach said. “That’s just the way it goes.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S KIONNA COLEMAN (33) PUTS UP a shot over Free State defenders on Friday.

But after trailing almost the entire game by double digits, it was too big of a deficit for LHS to overcome so late.

Despite the 17-point victory against their cross-town rivals, the Firebirds (4-0) were not happy. Free State coach Bryan Duncan said his team won Friday night with talent, not execution.

He credited the Lions (2-2) for having success by pressing the ball and forcing turnovers, something FSHS isn’t used to seeing.

“They actually did some things to us that I hadn’t seen yet — things a lot of teams would say not to do to Free State,” Duncan said.

Many of the Firebirds said after the game that, after going into halftime with a 33-16 lead, they became complacent.

“Our attitude wasn’t the best, and so they were able

to get back into it a couple times,” FSHS junior Lynn Robinson said.

The other difference between the two teams — age — might have come into play, given the packed house. The LHS team is full of young players who haven’t seen large crowds before, but Wood said the Lions shouldn’t use that as an excuse.

But ask veterans from Free

State, and the Firebirds welcomed it.

“I love playing with the intensity of the crowd here,” FSHS junior Kennedy Kirkpatrick said. “I think for all the younger kids who didn’t get to play at the varsity level last year, it was a great experience for them.”

As a member of the visiting team, Coleman had a different experience on the court Friday. She transferred as a sophomore from FSHS to LHS this year, and the crowd was well aware, chanting “Traitor” while she was shooting free throws.

Though she said that didn’t hurt her, it was no coincidence that she played aggressively and had 13 shot attempts.

“I just wanted to tell them to just chill out a little bit,” Coleman said.

Lawrence will take a break for the holidays before playing host to Olathe Northwest at 7 p.m. on Jan. 6.

Free State will travel to Platte County, Mo., at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

Most backing the home team among the overflow crowd Friday night at Free State High’s gymnasium had heard all about the crosstown rival’s big names.

Seniors Anthony Buffalomeat, Logan Henrichs and KJ Pritchard have been filling it up since they were sophomores. It didn’t take long for word to spread across town about Lawrence High’s 6-foot-7 sophomore center Bryce Montes de Oca, blessed with a wide body, soft hands, a soft touch and nimble feet.

But No. 3? Who in the name of John Doe is No. 3?

Excuse me, can I borrow your lineup sheet? No. 3 is 5-foot-11 junior guard Jake Mosiman, who had his fingerprints all over Lawrence High’s thrilling 75-68 overtime victory in Firebirds territory.

Just what got into this pass-first player under such bright lights? Mars Blackmon would tell you it was the shoes, except that they were made by a Nike competitor.

Mosiman, the only player on the floor wearing red shoes, knows better.

“I don’t know,” Mosiman said. “I’m not the biggest fan of Free State. They beat us twice last year. I just wanted to get the win.”

Why doesn’t he care for Free State?

“We’re rivals,” he said.

“Like KU and MU. I don’t really care for MU, either.”

Asked what his career-high was coming into the night, Mosiman tried in vain to help.

“Um, I don’t know,” he said. “I couldn’t tell you. I don’t really pay attention to how many points I score.”

For the record, Mosiman scored 16 points and made seven of 10 field-goal attempts Friday.

“Wow,” he said when informed of his point total.

“That has to be the most I’ve ever scored in a varsity game.”

Mosiman hit big bucket after big bucket in a game so tight that the biggest lead a team had at the end of a quarter was the Lions’ 51-49 edge after three.

At the start of the overtime, the junior whose expression never changes during the course of a game, made a memorable play at each end.

With his back to the basket, Mosiman shoulder-faked as if he would go left, dribbled right, stopped on a dime and buried a baseline fade-away jumper. At the other end, he knocked the ball loose from Brett Frantz (24 points) to steal a possession.

“Coach (Mike Lewis) told me to guard Brett Frantz,” Mosiman said of the OT period. “He’s a great player.

He kept on driving. I slapped down at it, and luckily I didn’t get a foul called.”

Mosiman has no hot dog to his game, and the red shoes — he identified them as “adidas adiZero Crazy Lights” — don’t represent a desire to stand out, rather the latest symbol of that special bond grandfathers and grandsons so often share. Mosiman estimated he has had more than 300 pairs of basketball shoes.

“It’s what my grandpa and I usually do,” he said. “We go to Kansas City, get shoes, get some ice cream, come back.

It’s my favorite thing to do. I love hanging out with him.”

His favorite pair ever?

“I remember in, had to be third grade, I went on the Internet and customized a pair of Nike Shox,” he said. “I put my grandpa’s initials on them, G.H. for Gary Hardy.

He’s my best friend, and he gives me pregame talks.”

Grandpa Hardy ought to memorize Friday’s. Maybe even package it and sell it.

FOOTBALL

ISU gives Rhoads 10 years AMES, IOWA (AP) — Johnny Majors left Iowa State for Pittsburgh in the early 1970s and later won a national title. Earle Bruce dumped the Cyclones for Ohio State in the late 70s, and Gene Chizik needed just five wins in two seasons to land the Auburn job.

The prevailing notion has long been that Iowa State is a place where a coach can’t win consistently.

Paul Rhoads believes otherwise — and he’s got a new deal that proves it.

Iowa State announced a 10-year, $20 million contract with Rhoads on Friday, hoping to keep the promising young coach with the Cyclones for years to come.

Rhoads is completing the third year of a five-year deal that ran through 2013 and paid him $1.15 million this year. The school said the total value of the new contract was $20 million, with specific terms to be released later.

“This bright future that we have is on a strong course to continue to grow and continue to develop,” Rhoads told reporters Friday night.

“Stability is the main word that you’ve got a chance to emphasize. When you’re successful in a program that has either been traditionally been a stepping stone or a place where coaches have failed — when you get that kind of statement of 10 years, it’s easier to walk into a living room and it’s easier to walk into a meeting room. And both are vitally important.”

Iowa State pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season by beating then-No. 2 Oklahoma State. Iowa State (6-6) is playing in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium against Rutgers (8-4) on Dec. 30, the school’s second postseason trip in three years.

IOWA STATE COACH PAUL RHOADS ADDRESSES THE MEDIA during a news conference on Dec. 7 at New York’s Yankee Stadium, where, on Dec. 30, the Cyclones will face Rutgers in the Pinstripe Bowl. ISU rewarded Rhoads with a 10-year contract on Friday.

The 44-year-old Rhoads is wildly popular in Iowa and fans broke a nearly three-decadeold attendance mark this fall.

“Today is a great day for Iowa State University,” athletic director Jamie Pollard said. “Paul Rhoads and Iowa State are a perfect match for one another and we could not be happier that he is going to be our football coach for the long term.”

Rhoads was hired in December 2008 as Iowa State tried to pick up the pieces after a 2-10 season and Chizik’s abrupt departure for the Tigers — where he, like Majors, won a national title.

Rhoads’ teams have shown steady improvement and pulled off some huge wins behind his spread offense and stingy defense.

The victory over Oklaho-

ma State was the program’s first over a top-5 team in 59 tries. Earlier in Rhoads’ tenure, Iowa State knocked off Nebraska 9-7 and last year won at Texas 28-21 — the first road wins over ranked opponents in consecutive seasons by Iowa State since 1976-77. The Cyclones also beat Minnesota 14-13 in the 2009 Insight Bowl.

Rhoads grew up in Iowa and was a defensive assistant with the Cyclones in the mid- and late 90s. He later was defensive coordinator at Pitt (2000-07) and Auburn (2008), putting together aggressive units that ranked among the nation’s best.

Now he is rolling in Ames.

He helped the Cyclones overcome a number of distractions this season, including a quarterback

controversy as junior college transfer Steele Jantz fizzled and was replaced by freshman Jared Barnett.

Rhoads’s next project will be to develop the program from one that’s currently decent in the Big 12 into one that consistently competes for league titles.

Rhoads said he next wants the Cyclones to get over .500, both overall and in the Big 12, while continuing to improve the overall talent level through recruiting and development.

Rhoads has already lost one of his coaches, as offensive coordinator Tom Herman will leave for Ohio State after the Pinstripe Bowl.

Rhoads said Friday that he isn’t planning on hiring a new coordinator until after the bowl game.

KENTUCKY COACH JOHN CALIPARI, LEFT, TALKS with Anthony Davis during the second half of the Wildcats’ 73-72 loss at Indiana on Dec. 10. UK, then the No. 1 team in the country, hasn’t played since. scheme in the closing seconds.

Even against all that, Kentucky held the lead with 5.6 seconds left before Christian Watford’s game-winning three.

“The way we lost really hurt,” Davis said. “We’re upset that we lost that way and the fact that we lost. A lot of guys have been, before practice and after practice, putting in extra work.”

The Wildcats must learn to listen, too.

Calipari said each time he feels his message isn’t getting through, he recalls his instructions to his players from the final timeout against Indiana. Kentucky didn’t pick up the defense at the right position on the court, didn’t foul and then didn’t close out quickly enough on Watford.

“Every time they don’t listen in a drill or what I’m saying, I stop practice and I say, ‘5.6 seconds left and there’s a timeout.

We’re going to pick up threequarter court and when they get near halfcourt we’re going to foul. Do you hear me?’”

Calipari said. “Every time they don’t listen, I bring that up just to make a point of, ‘You’re not listening to me.’”

But Davis said they recognize the pressure of playing at Kentucky.

“The target’s on our back,” Davis said. “Everybody wants to beat us. We’ve got to be prepared for it.”

Jones didn’t speak to reporters because he was taking a final exam, but Calipari said his sophomore forward would be fine following a stat line that included six turnovers and just one rebound in 28 minutes.

They also failed to capitalize on free throws late. Kentucky went 10-of-17 against Indiana and is shooting 67.8 percent for the season, good for eighth in the 12-team Southeastern Conference.

“We’re just missing them,” Davis said. “(We’re) shooting them right, just basketball gods didn’t want them to go in.”

Against Kentucky’s upcoming opponents, the Wildcats can easily rely on their athleticism instead of divine intervention. The Wildcats host Chattanooga today, followed by Samford, Loyola (Md.) and Lamar before an in-state showdown with No. 4 Louisville on Dec. 31.

They’ll also get a new player in transfer guard Twany Beckham, who spent his first year and a half at Mississippi State. The 6-foot-5 junior will bolster the off-guard position, but it’s not clear just how much time he might receive in a rotation that’s relied on four freshmen, two sophomores and senior Darius Miller.

LEXINGTON, KY. (AP) — Kentucky coach John Calipari shredded a letter he recently received at his home that did not include a return address.

If he or his third-ranked Wildcats are being criticized for their efforts down the stretch of their first loss at Indiana last Saturday, the coach insists he’s unaware.

“I’m not that connected.

Just so you know, I’ve hired somebody to do the Twitter, and there’s somebody hired to do the Facebook. I’ll give them things that I want out there, but the reality of it is I don’t ever get anything back,” Calipari said Friday. “Somebody sent a piece of mail to my house that didn’t have a return address or anything on it, so it got torn up. It never was opened. So, I don’t answer any mail that doesn’t have a return address with a name on it. We can’t get into that. The biggest thing right now for this team is we are so young.”

And eager. Freshman Anthony Davis wished he had another game to play as soon as Indiana knocked Kentucky from the ranks of the unbeaten in a 73-72 thriller on Saturday that also cost the Wildcats the top spot in the poll.

“Any time you lose you just want to go out there and play again just to get that win,” Davis said. “Unfortunately we don’t play again until (Saturday) and we had the whole week off, so we had lots of practice, we practiced every day, went hard.”

Kentucky (8-1) had problems with perimeter defense, turnovers and free-throw shooting against Indiana and only got four points from star Terrence Jones. The Wildcats missed two free throws late and failed to run the correct defensive

the six-year deal he signed in 2007 that pays him $3.5 million annually.

Donovan has led the Gators to two national titles, three Final Four appearances and 11 NCAA Tournament berths in 15 seasons.

His career record is 402-

169, including 367-149 at Florida.

Donovan’s base salary will be $220,000 from 2014-17, plus nearly $2.7 million coming from an activities agreement that includes television and radio programs/sponsorships, and basketball camps.

His incentives include $50,000 for a Southeastern Conference regular-season title, $37,500 for making the NCAA Tournament and $50,000 for a top-10 finish in the AP poll.

He also has graduation incentives.

Tebow faces tough test: Brady, Pats ENGLEWOOD, COLO. (AP) — The Denver Broncos haven’t been to the playoffs since 2006, so they’re in no position and certainly no mood to judge the quality of the opponents they’re dispatching with all this last-minute magic.

They’re 7-1 since Tim Tebow took over and started engineering a series of outrageous second-half comebacks. Those opponents, though, have a combined record of 39-52.

With Tom Brady and the powerful New England Patriots (10-3) coming to town Sunday, the Broncos (8-5) see this as a chance to prove they’re not just a curiosity but a contender.

“Yeah, well, we need to prove it to ourselves,” star cornerback Champ Bailey said. “We’ve played against some teams that were kind of struggling. We’d like to go put it together against a top-quality quarterback like Brady.”

It’s not just Tebow who’s facing what could be his toughest test since he started the final three games last season and then supplanted an ineffective Kyle Orton in October after a 1-4 start.

Denver’s dominant defense, which has two hiccups — against the multifaceted Lions and Packers, faces another formidable challenge

Jack Dempsey/AP Photo

DENVER QUARTERBACK TIM TEBOW LOOKS ON during a game between the Broncos and the Chicago Bears on Sunday in Denver. Tebow and the Broncos will face Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday. in the Patriots, led by Brady, who’s thrown for 33 touchdown passes, 15 of them to big tight end Rob Gronkowski and nine to Wes Welker, who already has 100 catches.

And so, the AFC Eastleading Patriots are feasting on opponents, putting up an AFC-best 31 points a game.

That kind of firepower means the AFC West-leading Broncos’ notoriously slowstarting offense will have to keep pace, and given New

England’s defensive shortcomings, this game could turn into a shootout.

Only twice have the Broncos piled up points since Tebow took over in October.

They put up 38 at Oakland and 35 at Minnesota. But six times they’ve failed to even score 20 points with Tebow starting.

That’s why so many see this game as the Broncos’ best barometer yet.

The Patriots have the pedigree the Broncos used to

have when they, too, were a perennial playoff team. But Denver hasn’t punched its ticket to the postseason party since losing to Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game following the 2005 season.

“Obviously New England has been a team that’s been in the playoffs for the last decade or whatever. So they’ve got a lot of players who’ve been there,” Broncos passrusher Elvis Dumervil said.

“They’re the team that’s al-

ways been in the playoffs.

We want to establish ourselves as that team. This is a good challenge for us.”

The Broncos have long been Brady’s bugaboo, beating him five times in six tries, including a 27-13 win on Jan. 14, 2006, when Bailey returned a game-changing interception 100 yards, helping hand Brady his first playoff loss and ending New England’s 10-game postseason winning streak and a shot at an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title.

With the Patriots going in for the go-ahead score, Bailey stepped in front of Troy Brown in the end zone for the pick and sprinted down the sideline, only to get knocked out of bounds at the 1 by hustling tight end Ben Watson.

This game doesn’t hold nearly as much significance, but in many ways it’s the most intriguing match-up at Mile High in years.

The Patriots could clinch a playoff spot and inch closer to home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, which could prove the best salve for their defensive troubles.

The Broncos could take a lot of pressure off themselves over the final two weeks of the season, with games against Buffalo on the road and at home against Kansas City.

Chicago cuts wide receiver after drug arrest CHICAGO (AP) — The attorney for Sam Hurd said Friday that his client had never sold drugs to other NFL players, hoping to put rumors to rest as the wide receiver without a team prepares to fight federal drug charges that could put him in jail for 40 years.

Less than an hour after Hurd was cut by the Chicago Bears, defense attorney Brett Greenfield told reporters that his client planned to

fight the charges and wanted one thing made clear.

“Sam has asked me to address one point, with respect to the rumors that Sam has been supplying drugs to other members of the NFL, out of respect to the NFL, out of respect to teammates and out of respect to other players, he 100 percent denies that allegation,” Greenfield said. “It is patently and totally false. It just didn’t happen.”

U.S. Magistrate Young Kim ordered Hurd to surrender his passport and any firearms.

Hurd is expected to be tried in Texas, where the criminal complaint was filed this week by the U.S. attorney.

Hurd waived his right to a preliminary hearing. The next step is for prosecutors to take the case before a grand jury.

Hurd was arrested Wednesday night outside a Chicago steakhouse, accord-

ing to the complaint. He allegedly told an undercover agent he was interested in buying five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to distribute in the Chicago area.

Hurd told the agent a “coconspirator is in charge of doing the majority of the deals” while he focused on “higherend deals,” the complaint said.

He agreed to pay $25,000 for each kilogram of cocaine and

$450 a pound for the marijuana, according to the charges, and then said he could pay for a kilo of cocaine — about 2.2 pounds — after “he gets out of practice.” He walked out of the restaurant with the package and was arrested.

Hurd faces up to 40 years in prison and a $2 million fine if convicted of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine.

BRIEFLY Vikings’ Peterson might play Sunday EDEN PRAIRIE, MINN. — Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is listed as probable to return to the lineup Sunday against the New Orleans Saints after missing the past three games due to a high ankle sprain.

Peterson Coach Leslie Frazier said Peterson’s ankle responded well to increased repetitions in practice this week. He hinted Peterson might not return to a full workload immediately Sunday because of the missed time.

Peterson said Thursday he was about 85 percent healthy.

Texans WR Johnson out for this week HOUSTON — Houston receiver Andre Johnson will miss his second straight game because of a strained left hamstring on Sunday when the Texans play host to Carolina.

Johnson was injured running a route against Atlanta on Dec. 4. He missed last week’s 20-19 win at Cincinnati which clinched Houston’s first AFC South title and playoff berth.

It is the second injury Johnson has dealt with this season after sitting out six games following surgery to repair an injury to his other hamstring.

Coach Gary Kubiak says Johnson is getting close to being ready to play, but that he wasn’t quite healthy enough to go this week.

Concussion sidelines Browns QB McCoy BEREA, OHIO — Browns quarterback Colt McCoy has been ruled out for Sunday.

McCoy is still experiencing headaches and having other symptoms from his concussion, sustained last week on an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit by Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison.

How will you be celebrating Hanukkah this year?

——————

By sharing holiday joys, warmth with as many people as I can Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, Chabad Jewish Center, 1203 W. 19th St. I will be celebrating Hanukkah by sharing the joys and the warmth of this holiday with as many people as I can.

I love Hanukkah because I love light, and I love light because it reaches everywhere.

When you light a candle in a room, it is difficult to find a space which has not been touched by the glow. By sharing more light every day of the holiday, the night and darkness around us will just disappear by themselves.

In Jewish tradition, the menorah candles must be lit into the darkness of the night, and near a window facing out into the street. That’s because the Hanukkah lights go outward, transforming the darkness outside.

I will be celebrating Hanukkah this year in the freezing cold, huddled together with people of all ages and backgrounds, creating a united force of light on a dark, cold night. As I stand before the huge menorah being lit at City Hall this Hanukkah, Tiechtel I will know that these miraculous lights will shine into the darkest reaches and remind us all of miracles long ago and not so long ago.

How grateful I am to live in a country that is founded on the right to worship as we choose, in the manner in which we choose. I thank our founding fathers who crafted

the Constitution of the United States of America, which recognizes our freedom to express and practice our religion and allows us to once again light the menorah publicly and freely.

This expression of freedom is warmly embraced as governors and mayors, join dignitaries across the country, in city after city, as people of all walks of life gather in the spirit of common fellowship to light this beacon of freedom. So please join me once again as we light our Can Menorah at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 21, at City Hall.

Because evil and darkness do not get swept out with a broom, rather all it takes is just one candle.

My family will eat special foods and light candles each evening David Berkowitz, past president, Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation, 917 Highland Drive: When I was a child, my gentile friends were jealous because I got presents for eight days instead of one, while I envied them the ability to open all their presents at once. Now that I am much older and my children are adults, the gift-giving aspect of Hanukkah has been superseded by celebrating what Hanukkah stands for and commemorates.

Hanukkah commemorates the revolt of Jewish people against a powerful empire. It was a victory of the few over the many, the weak over the strong. Most Rabbis will tell you Hanukkah is a minor holiday, which is true any-

where in the world except for the United States and Israel. However, more than 80 percent of today’s Jews live in these two countries.

While there are a number of reasons, and they may vary between the two countries, the idea of fighting for and obtaining freedom appeals strongBerkowitz ly to both American and Israeli Jews. For Americans, it reminds us of our fight for independence where few colonists defeated the greatest nation of its time. Israel, too, gained its independence in a war where it was outnum-

bered by its Arab opponents.

Both Americans and Israelis value freedom and realize there are times where it is necessary to fight, and even die, in order to maintain it.

So how is my family going to celebrate Hanukkah?

We will eat special foods and light candles each evening, beginning with one and continuing to eight. We will say the blessings and sing “Ma’oz Tzur” (“Rock of Ages”) each night. The English version of which ends with the verse “yours the message cheering, that the time is nearing, which will see all people free, tyrants disappearing.” May it be God’s will and soon.

Take cancer examinations seriously The holidays have become a royal pain, but we love going to the Christmas plays, family events and attending church. How can I tactfully tell my family our wishes to have a pleasant holiday season without the guilt tripping and stress, and not have everyone mad at us? — Give Me an Old-Fashioned Christmas Dear Old-Fashioned: The only way to win is to stop playing. Announce to all the relatives that this year, in oranniesmailbox@comcast.net der to return to the meaning health. While painful lumps of Christmas, you will be doare often benign, there are nating to charity as your gift always exceptions, and any to the entire family. Suggest irregularity should be taken seriously.

Dear Annie: We have come to dread the holiday season.

Starting in October, it’s a race between various women in the family to see who will get to host the family dinner. Then several relatives will not attend because of squabbles with others. Some family members go all-out buying presents for everyone and insist on a full-family gift exchange. This can get really expensive.

Last year was financially hard for us, so we asked to do a one-person gift exchange and were ignored. We then insisted they not buy us anything, suggesting they spend their money only on the children. We were ignored again.

A genius in his own time and his own mind Documentary profiles can too often seem like premature eulogies. Or proof that a once-popular artist is decades beyond his or her best work. “Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis” (7 p.m.

Saturday, Encore) labors to make viewers appreciate the genius of Jerry Lewis — particularly as a filmmaker — but neglects to ponder why so great a talent feels so unappreciated.

Now well into his 80s, Lewis appears here, in interviews and in live shows, reflecting on his life and career. A chorus of impressive Lewis fans, including Steven Spielberg, Jerry Seinfeld, Eddie Murphy, Quentin Tarantino, Carol Burnett, Alec Baldwin, Chevy Chase and others express nonstop awe at Lewis’ comic timing, his musical chops, his slapstick pratfalls and his unequalled skill for mime and dance.

Actor Woody Harrelson puts it most bluntly, telling us that if you don’t like Jerry Lewis, he doesn’t want to know you.

The son of vaudevillians and burlesque performers, Lewis’ career offered a living link to the era of silent movies and variety shows. More than any talent since Buster Keaton, Lewis has sacrificed everything on the altar of the elaborate, balletic sight gag, the prank and the stunt.

Not unlike the recent “American Masters” portrait of Woody Allen, “Madness” offers an intense focus on a couple of decades and then hits the fast-forward button. Younger viewers are offered a crash course in the anarchic heyday of Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin’s remarkable nightclub comedy routine and their many hit movies, a period that lasted from 1946 to 1956.

Saturday’s Christmas specials

Jimmy Durante narrates the 1969 special “Frosty the Snowman” (7 p.m., CBS).

A “Wipeout” (7 p.m., ABC) Christmas special.

Billy Ray Cyrus stars in the 2011 holiday tearjerker “Christmas Comes Home to Canaan” (7 p.m., Hallmark).

The voices of John Goodman and Jonathan Winters are featured in the animated special “Frosty Returns” (7:30 p.m., CBS).

The voices of Ed Asner, Betty White and Tim Curry animate the 1996 special “The Story of Santa Claus” (8 p.m., CBS).

Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland hosts “CMA Country Christmas” (8 p.m., ABC).

Saturday’s highlights

John Walsh returns to Fox to hunt down 15 criminals on “America’s Most Wanted: U.S. Marshals Special Edition” (7 p.m., Fox).

Connor vanishes on “Primeval” (8 p.m., BBC America).

A sudden shock throws the planet off its rotation in the 2011 shocker “Earth’s Final Hours” (8 p.m., Syfy).

Scheduled on “48 Hours Mystery” (9 p.m., CBS): A vacation ends in murder.

Actor Armin MuellerStahl is 81. Actor Ernie Hudson is 66. Political commentator Chris Matthews is 66. Comedianactor Eugene Levy is 65.

they do the same. (Charities will accept as much or as little as you choose to give.) If they insist on buying presents for you anyway, thank them graciously, but do not reciprocate. If necessary, remind them that you already donated to charity in their honor. Keep smiling, and stick to your guns. Don’t make their materialistic insanity your problem.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Saturday, Dec. 17: This year you open up to many different options professionally. On some level, this stretch could carry some discomfort at first. If you are single, someone could be drawn to your image more than to the real you. Be aware of what motivates others.

If you are attached, the two of you could launch your own business. Virgo can be judgmental.

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) You might feel as if you are left holding the bag. How much are you setting yourself up? Tonight: Could go quite late.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Get into weekend mode. You could be delighted by what comes up for you if you relax. Tonight: Add that extra touch.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Stay close to home. You might decide at the last minute to throw a tree-decorating party.

Whatever you do, keep your priorities in mind. Tonight: Add some Christmas music or go caroling.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might be

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You offer much more than you are aware of. Just because someone is strutting his or her stuff like you is no reason to become insecure. Tonight: Run some holiday errands.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) You could be overwhelming to someone you live with or within your family. You might find it hard to imagine that this person is so vulnerable.

Tonight: A simple gift expressing your affection could mean more than a big present.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take your time, especially in the a.m. You could have a tendency to take others’ statements personally. Tonight: Quiet works.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Get together with friends and/or family for a fun few days. You cannot believe how others also seem to be in the mood for holiday fun. Tonight: Where the action is.

Dec. 21) You might want to rethink a decision involving a respected family member, or maybe a boss.

Being just a little more understanding and less judgmental might help.

Tonight: Doing what you must, or should.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try to break free from the traditional roles you often lock yourself into. Perhaps you long to approach a situation differently. Why not? Tonight: Let your spirit soar.

Great music counts.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to the drum beats, and you will be OK. Sometimes a partner or close friend might hesitate. Tonight: Follow another’s lead.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to defer to a partner or friend one more time.

Though there could be a clash between you and this person, is it all that important? Only you can answer that question.

Tonight: Just not alone.

Dear Annie: During a selfexam in March, I noticed a painful lump above my left breast. I was told repeatedly that painful lumps are rarely breast cancer, and that it was probably a benign fibroid. I was unable to get a doctor to take it seriously.

During an appointment for another procedure, I insisted that the doctor examine my breast. The lump was growing like crazy and getting more painful. I had an immediate mammogram, a biopsy was recommended, and I received a confirmation of breast cancer in May. By then, the lump had grown to the size of a small fist.

I am in the middle of treatment and doing well. Please tell your readers to do those monthly breast exams, and to insist on further testing if they find anything out of the ordinary, including a painful lump. Be firm if necessary. I also would like to mention these helpful websites: The American Cancer Society (cancer.org) and Susan G. Komen for the Cure (komen. org). — Somewhere in America Dear Somewhere: Thank you for reminding our readers — male and female — to pay attention to their bodies, do regular self-exams, and not be intimidated when it comes to advocating for your
