Suspect in murder case heading back to Lawrence

Attention hog

By Stephen Montemayor smontemayor@ljworld.com

portant it is to our county, our state, to the world in fact, because people eat,” said Bill Wood, director of the Douglas County Extension Service.

“You don’t just go in a grocery store and the food just appears, like it was made in a factory,” he said. “Somebody somewhere had to either grow it or raise it or start the process.”

The lessons took place in the Livestock Arena of the Douglas County Fair-

The defense attorney for the 19-year-old woman accused of killing a 52-year-old Lawrence man said that she waived extradition in a Florida court Thursday and would be returned to Kansas “today or tomorrow.”

Sarah B. Gonzales McLinn, charged with firstdegree murder in the death of Harold M. Sasko, was handed over to Florida state authorities after spending much of the week in federal custody.

Her privately hired attorney, Carl Cornwell, said Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson informed him that McLinn waived extradition Thursday.

In McLinn’s court appearance Thursday, according to CBS Miami, when asked if she wanted to waive extradition, McLinn asked the judge, “Does that mean I’ll go back to Kansas?”

When the judge replied yes, McLinn said: “Then, yeah, I’ll waive extradition.”

Cornwell expected McLinn to be brought back to Kansas either Thursday or today and said that he had yet to speak with her.

SUNSET HILL FOURTH-GRADERS PACK AROUND a pen to see a sow named Angel during the Slice of Ag educational program on Thursday in the livestock arena of the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds. Local fourth-graders were introduced to farming and raising livestock at various stations centered on the theme of explaining where various ingredients of pizza come from.

Event gives kids up-close lesson about where food comes from

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Fourth-graders from throughout Douglas County were treated this week to a slice of pizza, some ice cream and fresh vegetables.

But before they could enjoy those treats, they first had to learn where all the ingredients for those foods came from.

From the grains that make the flour for the crust, and the cows and pigs that eventually

become beef and pork toppings, to the dairy cows that provide the milk that gets turned into cheese and ice cream, the 14th annual “Slice of Ag” day gave

students a close-up lesson in how everything they eat starts from a farm.

“Our goal is to let the students learn about agriculture and how im-

Study: Physical fitness, academic performance closely linked

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Researchers from two state agencies say they cannot prove definitively that exercise and physical fitness make kids smarter.

But results of a new study

suggest a strong correlation between children’s physical fitness and their performance on reading and math tests.

The study, unveiled Thursday during a gym class at Seaman Middle School in Topeka, was

“The study is going to say it’s a relationship, which talks about it being a correlation,” said Mark Thompson, project director for the Kansas State Department of Education’s Healthy Kansas Schools project, who helped lead

Kansas receives approval for last part of Medicaid overhaul Topeka (ap) — Kansas is moving ahead with the last piece of overhauling its Medicaid program after receiving federal government permission to turn over management of in-home services for the developmentally disabled to private health insurance companies.

The changes state officials announced on Thursday will take effect on Saturday and affect about 8,500 people receiving services aimed at allowing them to live independently, including health monitoring and help with daily tasks, employment and financial management. The state’s Medicaid director received approval from a U.S. Department of

Suspect CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The office of District Attorney Charles Branson confirmed in a news release that McLinn will be returned to the state and booked into the Douglas County Jail.

Branson’s office said it would not release additional information until McLinn has a first appearance before a Douglas County judge.

McLinn had been in Florida state custody since Wednesday, when she was released from federal custody on a drug charge related to her arrest at Everglades National Park on Saturday.

On Monday, Branson charged McLinn with first-degree murder in the death of Sasko, the owner of three CiCi’s Pizza restaurants between Topeka and Lawrence with whom McLinn lived since 2012 in a home in the 2900 block of West 26th Street.

McLinn is accused of gaining control over Sasko and killing him with an “edged instrument” on Jan. 14, which was the last time anyone had seen or heard from either Sasko or McLinn.

This week, an Everglades National Park spokeswoman said Mc-

Health and Human Services administrator in a letter dated Wednesday.

The $3 billion-a-year Medicaid program provides medical coverage for about 345,000 poor and disabled Kansans, and last year, the state turned administration of most of the program over to three private health insurance companies.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback contends participants in the overhauled program — now called KanCare — are getting better services, with less cost to the state.

Federal officials were required to sign off on the overhaul because the federal government provides a majority of funds for states’ Medicaid programs.

Advocates for the developmentally disabled have been vocal critics of KanCare, and their concerns prompted the state to delay the last piece until this year. Brownback’s administration had planned to have the final changes in place in January, but HHS officials didn’t grant their approval in time.

Brownback predicted in a statement that developmentally disabled Kansans will see improved care.

“We believe they will have better health outcomes and better lives,” said Angela de Rocha, a spokeswoman for the state Department for Aging and Disability Services.

Harold Sasko l Age 52 l Found dead Jan. 17 in his house

in the 2900 block of West 26th Street. l Owned three Cici’s Pizza franchises — one in Lawrence, two in Topeka. l Resided with Sarah B. Gonzales McLinn (charged with murder in his death) in the house he owned. l Lived in Topeka and Lenexa before moving to Lawrence. l Divorced, with a teenage daughter who lives in Texas. l Originally from Florida.

Linn was found sleeping in a 2008 Nissan Altima that belonged to Sasko and that had been missing at the time of McLinn’s disappearance. A routine check of the vehicle’s license plate led a park ranger to discover that it was the missing vehicle from Lawrence. McLinn was discovered sleeping in the car and arrested after Lawrence police identified her as the sole suspect in Sasko’s death.

According to a Miami Herald report citing unnamed law enforcement sources, rangers also found two firearms, two knives, an ax and a small amount of hashish in the car. The Herald reported that one of the knives is believed to be the weapon used to kill Sasko. At a press conference on

Monday, Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib told reporters that evidence suggested that McLinn “somehow subdued” Sasko before killing him and that police now think she was the only person involved in the killing.

McLinn once worked for Sasko in Topeka before moving into his home in Lawrence, friends and family members have told the Journal-World.

Kimberly Qualls, a close friend of Sasko’s, told the Journal-World earlier this week that Sasko allowed McLinn to move in so she could have a stable environment, save money and prepare for college.

The study tracked more than 13,000 students in grades 4-9 during the 2011-2012 school year, measuring their physical fitness with five tests using a tool called a FitnessGram. The tests measure aerobic capacity, muscular strength, endurance and flexibility to determine whether students are in a “healthy fitness zone” for their age and gender.

The tests include running 20-meter laps; curlups, a modified version of sit-ups; trunk lifts; 90-degree push-ups; and a sitand-stretch exercise.

Links between fitness and academics The results showed that the greater the number of fitness tests the student passed by scoring in the fitness zone, the greater the likelihood was to score proficient or better on state reading and math assessments.

Among kids who met none of the fitness standards, only about half met state standards in reading, and fewer than half — 41.8 percent — met the standards in math.

But for students who met all five of the fitness tests, 73.5 percent scored above the standard in reading, and 70.3 percent did so in math.

The tests determine whether students are in a “healthy fitness zone” for their age and gender.

The study involved students from 152 schools in 40 districts. They included all of the elementary, middle and high schools in the Lawrence school district.

By themselves, Thompson said, the results don’t answer the question of whether exercise and fitness actually make kids smarter, or whether kids who are already smart also tend to be physically active.

But he said there are several theories about why there may be a causal relationship. Some suggest a physiological connection because exercise stimulates blood flow to the brain. Others suggest a behavioral connection — that learning how to exercise and stay fit develops discipline and concentration, which then spills over into academic success.

Need for focus on PE Either way, though, some state officials say it points to a need for schools to put more emphasis on physical education at a time when many have cut back on PE instruction, often so they can spend more time preparing students for their reading and math tests.

“I think we will move WEDNESDAY’S POWERBALL 11 23 28 32 47 (20) in that direction,” Kansas TUESDAY’S MEGA Education Commissioner MILLIONS Diane DeBacker said.

Committee hears bill for statewide gun law

By Ashleigh Tidwell atidwell@ljworld.com

The House Federal and State Affairs Committee began a two-day hearing Thursday regarding a house bill that would reverse local concealed carry laws in favor of a single statewide con-

cealed carry law.

Also included in House Bill 2473 are regulations amending laws on the criminal use of weapons, a ban on using tax dollars to fund firearm buyback programs and an expungement clause that would allow those convicted under previous concealed carry

regulations to clear their records of the crime.

Proponents of the bill say that it would clarify confusion about the laws by providing one set of regulations for residents to abide by.

BRIEFLY No ‘credible threat’ at LHS after alert

800 block of Mass.

Street now open

Lawrence police investigated a report of threatening remarks this morning at Lawrence High School.

In an email and automated phone message to parents, Julie Boyle, communications director for the school district, said the threat was not found to be credible.

A student overheard inappropriate comments by another student on Wednesday that “caused concern,” Boyle said. School officials have initiated disciplinary action against one male student, she said.

Police Department Spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley confirmed that the department sent all available units to the school to respond to the report.

“We also appreciate the cooperation of the Lawrence High School community in maintaining a normal school routine today,” Boyle’s communication to parents said. Extra police officers were at the school today as a precaution.

The northbound lane of the 800 block of Massachusetts Street is now open after being closed at times this week while city crews installed a water line to a new business.

Northbound traffic was redirected while workers put in a fire line in for a business moving into 814 Massachusetts St. and poured concrete for the sidewalk.

Bob Brower, city utilities superintendent, said the road should now be “open and flowing.”

Eudora interviews McLouth school chief McLouth school district Superintendent Steve Splichal is the third and final candidate being interviewed for the Eudora superintendent’s job.

Splichal has led the McLouth district, with about 490 students, since 2011. Before that he worked 11 years as an assistant superintendent and middle school principal in the Hiawatha school district. He also has taught middle school social studies and coached in the Atchison and Beloit districts.

Splichal has a bachelor’s degree from Kansas State University and a master’s degree in education administration from Benedictine College.

The two other finalists for the job include Galena Superintendent Brian Smith and Oxford Superintendent Mark Whitener.

All three candidates come from districts about one-third the size of Eudora, which had total enrollment last year of 1,523 students. A decision on who will replace retiring Superintendent Don Grosdidier is expected February.

“I learned that volunteer mentality from my dad,” Booth said.

Like his dad, Booth served as president of the Kansas Association of Broadcasters and was inducted into the Kansas Broadcasting Hall of Fame.

Booth was also the public-address announcer at Kansas University men’s basketball games from 2003 to 2007, and he acted as the interim president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce from 2012 to 2013.

He has been recognized for his volunteer work with the Sertoma Club’s Service to Man-

kind Award, the Lawrence Board of Realtors Humanitarian Contribution Award, and an induction into the Lawrence High School Hall of Fame, to name a few.

On Friday, the Chamber of Commerce will present Booth with his latest distinction. The Lawrencian Award, previously known as the Citizen of the Years Award, annually honors an individual whose commitment to Lawrence has lasted a lifetime.

“I was born in Lawrence and spent my whole life here,” Booth said. “I could’ve gone other places through the years to do other jobs, but I know I’ve made all the right choices about where I live, where I work and the people I’ve worked for.”

According to the most recent Census of Agriculture, only about 31,000 people in Kansas reported farming as their primary occupation in 2007, a decline of nearly 10,000 from five years earlier.

Over that same period, though, each farmer has become more productive, with the total market value of agricultural products sold growing from $8.8 billion to $14.4 billion.

Still, Wood says it’s getting harder for most people today to have a personal or family

connection to life on a farm.

“Three generations ago, in the early 1900s, everybody was either on a farm or had a grandparent on a farm,” Wood said. “And I remember both of my grandparents were farmers, and I loved going out to the farm.

But today, there’s probably very few people that have a parent or a grandparent on the farm, so they don’t get to visit it and they don’t quite understand where the food comes from.”

Earl McIntosh, of the Kansas Libertarian Party, said that with the current regulations “a person could be following the law in one county and be breaking the law in another without even knowing.”

Patricia Stoneking, president of the Kansas Rifle Association, also testified in favor of the bill, saying that people have no idea what the regulations are and points out that most jurisdictions don’t post regulations online, making

it difficult for people to learn what the laws are.

“Our citizens have the right to travel through counties without fear of unknowi n g l y violating county or city laws,” Stoneking said LEGISLATURE in an interview. “We need to bring uniformity to the law and put it in line with the Kansas Constitution.”

Opponents of the bill, however, see this as a restriction on local authorities.

Eric Smith, legal council for the League of Kansas Municipalities, said

that though there are some aspects of the bill he supports, such as clarifying what constitutes criminal use of weapons, he believes that the issue as a whole is a decision that should be made at the local level.

Douglas County Commissioner Mike Gaughan said that the bill is stripping the authority of the local government.

“Once again the Legislature is trying to restrict the ability of local governments to make their own decisions,” Gaughan said The committee has not yet set a date to debate the bill. The hearing will continue at 9 a.m. Friday where opponents of the bill will testify.

communities and helped raise up other leaders, especially women,” according to the Athena International website.

After Billings graduated from Kansas University, she and Emily Taylor, the dean of women and a champion of women’s causes, Billings became friends.

Through Taylor, Billings was inspired to become involved in the community, take leadership positions and tackle social issues, especially those regarding women.

“If I had to pick out the strongest female mentor in my adult life, it would be Emily Taylor,” Billings said. “She was a force with which to contend.

She challenged me and encouraged me.”

Billings served on the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity Advisory Board and

was a founding member of the Emily Taylor and Marilyn Stokstad Women’s Leadership Lecture Series. She was treasurer for Friends of KU Women’s Studies and an inaugural member of the Women Philanthropists for KU Advisory Board.

For her commitment to women’s issues at KU, Billings was inducted into the KU Women’s Hall of Fame in 2005 and was a KU Woman of Distinction in 2003-2004.

“I hope in some small way I can be an example for women on the importance of being a part of and giving back to the community, whether it’s in the workplace or outside of it,” Billings said.

Billings’ involvement spreads across KU and into the larger Lawrence community.

Throughout her time in Lawrence, she has been involved with the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association, United Way of Douglas County, Lawrence Rotary Club, Lawrence Library Foundation, Bert

Nash Community Mental Health Center, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence Board of Realtors, Lawrence Arts Center and the Douglas County Historical Society, as well as many more local and university entities.

Although it may be hard to find the time, Billings said she hopes other people will become involved in their communities, as she has.

“Even though you may not want to do it or may not feel like you have the skill set to do it, jump in and give it a try,” Billings said. “It will be so broadening, you will learn a lot, and you will help other people along the way.”

Divas duel for Theatre Lawrence

“Each of the singers gets to sing twice, and the audience votes for who they want to see win,” said Kay Traver, marketing director for Theatre Lawrence.

“One dollar equals one vote.”

This marks the fourth year Theatre Lawrence has held the event, and Traver said it’s designed not just to raise money Debbie Laurent, for the group’s operations but executive administraalso to showcase local talent. tive assistant, “We try to get a mix,” she says.

Among those newcomers is Ashley Benes. A member consultant at Truity Credit Union, Benes holds a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in opera performance from Kansas University.

“I was looking to get more involved with (Theatre LawMegan Lounds, rence),” Benes said. “I’m really student, excited to get on their stage and Lawrence check out their (new) space.”

“I think no.”

Kitty Steffans, the visitor services and events coordinator at the KU Natural History Museum, feels

Dueling Divas will start at 6 p.m. Saturday, with hors d’oeuvres and drinks at Theatre Lawrence. Divas take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $60, with premium seating $75. Tickets must be reserved in advance through purchasing in person at Theatre Lawrence, 4660 Bauer Farm Drive, or over the phone, 843-7469.

OUTGOING DIVA CHAMPION SARAH YOUNG, right, congratulates Erica Fox for winning last year’s Dueling Divas event at Theatre Lawrence. the same way. Steffans, who has appeared often at the Lawrence Arts Center and was associated with the Victor Continental shows, is finally getting a chance to work with Theatre Lawrence too.

“I’ve worked with (music director) Mary Baker previously,” Steffans said, “and she recruited me for this.”

Traver said the theater made a few changes to the way they approached “Dueling Divas” this year.

“In the past, we featured eight divas we hand-selected,” she said. “This year, we selected five women and two female impersonators. Then we held a wildcard competition in the Big 6 Room at the Eldridge, where we invited anyone to come sing karaoke. Emily Hamilton got the most votes, so she’ll be our eighth diva.”

“It’s really a huge breadth of style,” Steffans said after a recent rehearsal. “We’ve got an opera singer, a blues singer, I belt out show tunes — it’s really going to be very diverse.”

Winning the competition is simple enough in theory: Be the singer who raises the most money. But is there a secret to pulling it off?

“I worked very hard at fundraising before the show,” said Erica Fox, last year’s champion.

“I’m not from here, so I went to all my friends and worked the online voting.”

In addition to voting at the performance, anyone can cast their vote beforehand by pledging support at Theatre Lawrence’s website.

“You go out to theatrelawrence.com and click on the ‘Di-

vas’ icon,” Traver said. “Then you click on the ‘Vote Now’ icon, and it’ll walk you through the process of choosing your donation amount and the diva you want to support.”

Benes is following in Fox’s footsteps, hoping to recreate her success.

“I’ve been promoting it on Facebook,” she says. “I also sent it to my family in Oklahoma, and I sing at a church in Topeka, so I’ve pushed it there too.”

“My main strategy is to sing my pants off,” Steffans said with a laugh. “One dollar equals one vote, though, so all my friends should be able to support me.”

Fox won’t get to defend her title, but she will be present for a farewell tribute to her crown.

“I have the honor and privilege of performing a featured number while the final votes are being tallied,” she said.

Regardless of whom she crowns as her successor, the night promises a lot of excitement.

“This is going to be a really fun, really entertaining show,” Steffans said.

Book drive collects more than 2,000 books for students Staff report

This week concluded a local book drive that collected 2,235 children’s books for students at Kennedy Elementary.

The drive was organized by Nathan Hutch-

craft to help continue the BackSnacks Brain Food program at the school.

The program allows 40 children from low-income houses to fill their backpacks every Friday with food to eat over the weekend and a book that they get to keep.

To garner donations, Hutchcraft and other volunteers placed 2,000 grocery bags on porches around Lawrence asking people to fill them with books for children from kindergarten through fifth grade.

It was met with overwhelming support as the volunteers collected four car loads of books to keep the program going. The donated books will allow the students to continue taking home books for months to come.

One of the co-founders of GPS technology company Garmin has given $1 million to the Kansas University School of Engineering, KU announced on Thursday.

The gift from Min Kao, executive chairman and co-founder of Olathebased Garmin Ltd., will establish new scholarships for engineering students and create the Min Kao Engineering Design Studios.

The school will fashion the studio by refurbishing three rooms in Learned and Eaton halls, turning them into a hightech workspace for student capstone projects, said engineering school dean Michael Branicky.

Students will also have the opportunity to work with Garmin engineers on projects related to Garmin’s business.

Half of Kao’s gift will go toward the new Garmin Excellence Scholarship, which will be given to KU sophomores in electrical engineering and computer science based on high academic achievement, Branicky said.

Kao designed the GPS software on which Garmin’s original product line of navigation devices was based. He received a bachelor’s degress in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University and a doctorate from the University of Tennessee. Kao has previously given more than $500,00 to KU for scholarships.

The $1 million came through the Kao Family Foundation and will be managed by the Kansas University Endowment Association.

Disappointing speech Tuesday’s State of the Union address was lackluster, uninspiring.

P

resident Obama again displayed his oratorical skills in delivering the 93rd State of the Union speech Tuesday evening, but the presentation failed to live up to pre-speech expectations.

News people who cover the White House, as well as many seasoned political pundits, had prepared the public for a much stronger, more challenging, attacking or confrontational address, but it turned out to be more of a review of Obama’s past five years in office and an effort to reignite past pledges, promises and dreams.

One of the most surprising aspects of the speech was the president’s references to situations in the country that have laid dormant or worsened during the time he has been in charge and in the White House. He said, “inequality had deepened” and told of job seekers who have been out of work and individuals dropping out of the work force.

He talked about his continuing efforts to elevate or better the middle class, the fact that “average wages have barely budged” and said that “upward mobility has stalled.” He also noted that little, if anything, has been done to bring about his change in the nation’s immigration policies, etc.

All of these situations have remained relatively unchanged during Obama’s years in the Oval Office and serve as evidence of his inability to achieve many of his past campaign dreams and pledges. It certainly says something about his inability to forge respectful and workable relations with Republican leaders.

In too many instances, it seems the Obama approach is “my way or the highway.” In his Tuesday evening address, he made it clear that if he can’t get what he wants from Congress, he will use executive actions to bypass legislators and perhaps even violate the Constitution to get his way.

Of course, GOP leaders and those in the Senate and House should be open, interested and genuinely motivated for what is in the best interest of the country and its citizens. However, there is little evidence Obama has made much effort to reach across the political aisle to find solutions to contentious political challenges.

Both Republicans and Democrats should be disappointed the president didn’t deliver a more inspiring message that would encourage lawmakers and the public to demand a more positive performance by those who play such a decisive role in our lives and activities as well as the future of this country.

Unfortunately, Tuesday’s State of the Union speech was just more of the same: an hour and five minutes of political posturing.

Kerry seeking framework for peace Tel Aviv — For Secretary of State John Kerry, diplomacy has centered on what might be called the art of the interim deal. He has tackled two of the world’s toughest issues — the Iranian nuclear program and the IsraeliPalestinian problem — and has fashioned tentative formulas outlining the shape of a final accord even though the parties are far from such comprehensive settlements.

Kerry’s tool has been the “framework agreement.” He seeks to bring the parties together on an initial document that frames the issues and sweetens the bargaining with confidence-building measures. When Kerry hits impasses, he can turn to rollover agreements that extend the discussions for another six or nine months while the participants try to crack the final-status issues.

Kerry has used this phased approach in his two ambitious diplomatic campaigns over the past year. In November, he brokered an interim agreement with Iran in Geneva that froze that country’s nuclear program for six months while the parties attempt a permanent deal. Both Iranians and Americans privately doubt a final pact can be reached in that time frame, but if goodfaith bargaining continues, Iran and the P5+1 group may agree to extend the interim freeze another six months.

The U.S. has officially been mum on any such extension.

Kerry is trying something similar on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, which for a

“

He seeks to bring the parties together on an initial document that frames the issues and sweetens the bargaining with confidence-building measures.” generation has been the diplomatic world’s version of “Mission Impossible.” Kerry got the two sides to agree last July to open negotiations and make friendly gestures. Now, with his ninemonth window set to close in April, Kerry is drafting an interim framework agreement for this problem, too.

President Obama stayed in the background on both sets of negotiations last year, but he cited them in his State of the Union speech Tuesday night. Fair enough: Obama made Iran and the Palestinian issue priorities when he took office in 2009. He got burned politically on both during his first term. But he has found in Kerry a secretary of state who was willing to embark on what were widely viewed initially as diplomatic suicide missions.

ing Netanyahu’s security concerns. Amos Yadlin, a retired chief of Israeli military intelligence who heads the institute that hosted the conference, described Kerry’s goal: “It’s a framework agreement, or an agreement on a framework, or an American piece of paper,” he said, but the aim was to roll forward the negotiations for another nine months.

The White House has backed Kerry’s attempt to pull together the parameters that have emerged in the negotiations, rather than simply striving for another round of confidence-building measures, such as Israeli releases of Palestinian prisoners and Abbas’ restraint from taking his case for a Palestinian state to the United Nations. As in the Iran negotiations, a framework agreement would patch over what are still wide differences on a permanent, final-status agreement. But they would reduce the risk of outright conflict while diplomacy continues.

Obama and Kerry argue that diplomatic engagement should be seen as a sign of continuing American engagement in the Middle East, rather than as part of U.S. withdrawal. That’s true, but it’s also a strategy for buying time. The success of this approach requires that the interim version becomes permanent — which is still a very long bet in both cases.

War on poverty should shift to states

By Gene Budig and Alan Heaps

Both issues may still prove insoluble: Listening to Israeli Economy Minister Naftali Bennett at a conference here Tuesday, it was clear how vehemently the right-wing settlers’ movement he represents would oppose a Palestinian state. “Our forefathers and ancestors and our descendants will never forgive an Israeli leader who gives away our land and divides our capital,” Bennett said, his voice almost a shout.

Yet the prospect of a framework agreement, of the sort Kerry is seeking, seemed tantalizingly close in comments by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to the gathering, which was sponsored by the Institute for National Security Studies.

Netanyahu told the conference that the U.S. was compiling a document that would summarize the points that have emerged during the months of secret Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. He said that Israel might agree to further talks under this framework, while not accepting all the U.S. ideas, as long as the Palestinians agree to a demilitarized state that guarantees Israel’s security and accepts Israel’s status as a homeland for the Jewish people.

Abbas said in televised remarks to the conference that he might be willing to accept a phased, three-year Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and continued presence by other military forces, as ways of satisfy-

America recently marked an important milestone. Jan. 8 was the 50th anniversary of the declaration of war on poverty. This event has intensified an ongoing debate about the federal government’s role in supporting society’s least affluent members.

In his 1964 inaugural address, President Lyndon Johnson stated “this administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America.

I urge this Congress and all Americans to join me in this effort. It will not be a short or easy struggle, no single weapon or strategy will suffice, but we will not rest until that war is won.”

And America did respond.

In the months following that speech, the federal government created a series of important programs including Medicare and Medicaid, Head Start, Job Corps, a permanent food stamp program, VISTA and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The extent of the progress made during the ensuing five decades is the subject of considerable debate, but no one, regardless of political beliefs, argues that significant battles

were not won.

Poverty in America today is still rampant: 15 percent, more than 46 million people, live Budig in poverty (less than $24,000 annual income for a family of four); 7 percent, 22 million people, live in deep poverty (less Heaps than $12,000 annual income for a family of four); 22 percent of our children, more than 16 million, live in poverty; and 38 percent of our African-American children and 34 percent of our Hispanic children live in poverty.

Conversations about government’s response to poverty have been exacerbated by two more recent trends. One is the increasingly skewed distribution of wealth toward the rich.

The other is the increasing difficulty achieving in social mobility (the bettering of one’s absolute and relative economic position).

The combination of these

three issues has provided political fodder to all parts of the political spectrum, each playing to its bases, reiterating its traditional positions.

We have learned several lessons since 1964. Perhaps the most important is that fighting poverty is not only the right thing to do but is also the smart thing to do. In an increasingly competitive and interconnected world, survival depends on the stability and productivity of the whole. Another lesson is that responses to poverty cannot be simple. A single focus — whether on education or minimum wage or job training — will not yield long-term and widespread results. A third is that responses must be long-term.

Poverty, in many cases, is deep-seeded, requiring sustained efforts.

It is highly unlikely that the federal government can develop and implement effective new programs. It is bogged down in partisanship too extreme to come to agreement on the components. In addition, the federal government is too unwieldy to effectively mount large-scale operations. And public support, required for efforts of this kind, would be unlikely. Poll after poll tells us that the American people have little faith in the fed-

eral government’s motives and effectiveness (particularly on domestic issues).

But one possible effective response does exist: giving each state the funds to develop its own programs.

The advantages are threefold. One, each state can tailor the programs to meet its specific needs, serving diverse populations and issues. Two, this will produce a variety of solutions that can inform one another.

Three, this kind of response can garner public support: Polls clearly show that while the public has little faith in the federal government, they do trust state and local governments. Any such initiative would require combined federal, state and local understanding, cooperation and investment.

The war on poverty must continue. As President Johnson said in his inaugural address, “The richest nation on earth can afford to win (the war on poverty). We cannot afford to lose it.” But in 2014 and beyond, the answer lies with the states.

District apologizes for seizing lunches Salt Lake City — Utah parents were outraged when their children had their deep dish pizzas and other food taken and thrown away at their elementary school after a cashier said they owed money on their lunch accounts.

The Salt Lake City School District apologized on Thursday and said it was investigating what happened at Uintah Elementary and working to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Olsen said officials started notifying parents on Monday that many children were behind on the lunch payments.

It appears one district employee decided to start taking lunches the next day, he said, even though district policy requires that parents be given time to respond to account shortfalls.

GOP leaders outline immigration plan Cambridge, Md. — House Republicans wrestled inconclusively with the outlines of immigration legislation Thursday night, sharply divided over the contentious issue itself and the political wisdom of acting on it in an election year.

At a two-day retreat, GOP leaders circulated an outline that would guide the drafting of any House Republican legislation on the subject — a document that Speaker John Boehner told the rank and file was as far as the party was willing to go.

It includes a proposed pathway to legal status for millions of adults who live in the U.S. unlawfully

of mass destruction to kill — carry a possible death sentence.

“The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision,” Holder said in a statement of just two terse and dispassionate sentences that instantly raised the stakes in one of the most wrenching criminal cases Boston has ever seen.

Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty. No trial date has been set.

In a notice of intent filed in court, federal prosecutors in Boston listed factors they contend justify a sentence of death against Tsarnaev, who moved to

Economy improves as spending grows Washington — The U.S. economy grew at a 3.2 percent annual rate in the October-December quarter on the strength of the strongest consumer spending in three years, an encouraging sign for 2014.

For 2013 as a whole, the economy grew a tepid 1.9 percent, weaker than the 2.8 percent increase in 2012, the Commerce Department said Thursday.

Growth was held back last year by higher taxes and federal spending cuts.

With that drag diminished, many economists think growth could top 3 percent in 2014. That would be the best performance since the recession ended in mid-2009.

The strength in consumer spending reflected gains in purchases of durable goods such as autos and nondurable goods such as clothing. Spending on services also rose strongly.

U.S.: Syria delaying weapons removal Beirut — The United States accused the Syrian government Thursday of using stalling tactics to delay efforts to remove and destroy chemical agents, an indication that the international community’s patience is wearing thin

over the slow pace of the operation.

Syria agreed to surrender its arsenal after a deadly chemical attack in August on a rebel-held suburb of Damascus raised the threat of punitive U.S. missile strikes. President Barack Obama has touted the agreement as a major policy achievement for his administration.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is leading the mission to eliminate Syria’s 1,300-metric ton stockpile by a June 30 deadline.

Under the OPCW’s tight timeline, the most toxic chemicals in Syria’s arsenal were to have been removed from the country

by Dec. 31, but that deadline was missed due to poor security amid Syria’s raging civil war as well as other factors.

Ukraine president, protesters clash Kiev, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich, who went on sick leave Thursday, said he had fulfilled commitments to anti-government protesters but that conditions remained tense because of the political ambitions of some opposition leaders.

Opposition leaders Thursday vowed to continue their struggle against the government, including the demand that Yanukovich resign. The opposition is also calling for early elections for the presidency and parliament as conditions for ending street protests.

The two-month standoff between the government and protesters began when Yanukovich rejected trade ties with the European Union and instead favored a deal with Russia.

Boston (ap) — Federal prosecutors Thursday announced they will seek the death penalty against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, in the Boston Marathon bombing, accusing him of betraying his adopted country by ruthlessly carrying out a terrorist attack calculated to cause maximum carnage.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to press for Tsarnaev’s execution was widely expected. The twin blasts last April killed three people and wounded more than 260, and over half the 30 federal charges against Tsarnaev — including using a weapon

Artist Songz shows up to support pal Mason

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Singer, songwriter, rapper and actor Trey Songz, who is used to performing under pressure, had some words of advice for buddy Frank Mason before Wednesday’s Kansas University-Iowa State basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse.

“He told me to enjoy myself, play my game and not overdo it,” Mason said of the R&B and hip-hop artist, who like Mason grew up in Petersburg, Va. “I’ve known him for a while — seven years,” Mason added of Songz, who sat in the stands behind KU’s bench and was introduced to the crowd to wild ap-

Juco coach relishes trifecta

plause on the video board.

“We grew up in the same city, graduated from the same high school (Petersburg High). We’ve got a pretty good relationship.”

Songz, who attended several of Mason’s high school games, had been longing to get to Allen Fieldhouse for a game.

“We text often. He just

decided he wanted to come and support me. He hadn’t seen me play in a while. He supported me sometimes in high school. This was a perfect one for him to come to.

It was his first (KU) game. It was a little bit different for me. I adjusted pretty quick.

I’m glad he showed up,” Mason added.

Mason scored three

points with one assist and two turnovers while playing 11 minutes in KU’s 92-81 victory over the Cyclones.

Mason, who hit one of five shots, drained a three with 7:21 left, upping a 68-63 lead to eight points.

Kansas football establishes pipeline

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Hartnell Community College football coach Matt Collins has been involved with junior-college coaching for nearly two decades, but the recent recruiting process provided him with a new experience.

Three players on Collins’ 2013 team committed to Kansas University, opening up a bit of a pipeline between the small juco in Salinas, Calif., and Lawrence.

Defensive back Anthony “Fish” Smithson signed with the Jayhawks in December and is already on campus.

He soon will be joined by defensive end Kapil Fletcher and running back De’Andre Mann, who are expected to make their commitments official on national signing day Wednesday.

“This is the first time I’ve seen anything like this,” Collins said. “I thought I had seen it all, but I’ve never had three kids wind up going to the same school. ... I think about it every day.

Wow, three guys. I want to see how it pans out just like everybody else.”

While Collins is eager to find out how the trio transitions to the Div. I level, he’s not worried about how they will conduct themselves when they get to campus. He said all three were hard workers, good students and mature young men who understood what it took to succeed.

“They’re humble kids, smart kids, and I think they’re a little more mature in terms of how they respond to coaching and the expectations in the classroom,” Collins said. “I think it’s a great deal as long as you’re getting the right guys.

And these three are the kind of guys you want as a part of your program.”

Fletcher, who was the second of the three to commit to Kansas, said all three

FREE STATE SENIOR MILLIE SHADE LOOKS UP TO THE SCOREBOARD LATE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER of the Firebirds’ 51-42 loss to Topeka Seaman on Thursday at FSHS.

Firebirds start hot, but fall, 51-42

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Everything clicked in the first half for Free State High’s girls basketball team. But in an instant, it all changed.

The Firebirds took a ninepoint lead into halftime, but only shot 27 percent in the second half and lost to Topeka Seaman, 51-42, in the opening round of the Firebird Winter Classic at FSHS. Seaman (11-0, ranked No. 5 in Class 5A) opened the second half with a 10-0 run, forcing eight Free State turnovers in the third quarter.

“It was our mentality,” said freshman Madison Piper, who fell just short of a double-double with nine points

and nine rebounds. “We made a couple of turnovers, and we just lost control and played selfish.”

In the fourth quarter, senior Millie Shade drilled a three-pointer, and junior Hannah Shoemaker converted a layup to cut Free State’s deficit to two points with 3:38 remaining. The Vikings answered with an 11-4 run the rest of the way, as the Firebirds missed their next five shots.

“I don’t think any team intentionally did anything different in the second half strategically,” FSHS coach Bryan Duncan said. “I guess they just stepped up a little bit, and we weren’t playing together as much in that sec-

ond half as we did in that first half. We weren’t making the extra pass and playing quite as disciplined.”

The Firebirds (4-7) sprinted to a 17-6 lead midway through the first quarter, with nine points from Shade, who finished with a game-high 17 points. Free State went on a 9-0 run in the stretch, as the Vikings missed eight consecutive shots and turned the ball over three times.

“Our offense and defense, they went together,” Piper said. “We did good things on defense, and the offense just flowed.”

Free State shot 8-of-14 from the field in the first quarter against Seaman’s 2-3 zone,

with senior Scout Wiebe also contributing six points.

The Vikings responded with a 5-0 run to begin the second quarter, but Shade answered with a three-pointer before Adriana Jadlow made four free throws. In the last minute before the half, Jadlow grabbed a rebound and tossed it up the court to Shade, who sprinted past the defense. Shade converted the layup, giving Free State a 2819 advantage at halftime.

“Millie hit a lot of shots in the first half. I think the reason was because the ball was going inside-out,” Duncan said. “She was our primary offense tonight, and second Please see FIREBIRDS, page 3B

Super trip not easy for many AP File Photo

BRONCOS CORNERBACK CHAMP BAILEY LISTENS TO A QUESTION as he talks with reporters during a news conference Thursday in Jersey City, N.J.

Jersey City, N.J. (ap) — They are former kids who played in their backyards and dreamed of scoring the winning touchdown, making the big play on defense and somehow sharing in the spotlight of helping a team win the Super Bowl.

Not all dreamers get to the NFL, and certainly, many who get to football’s highest level don’t get the chance to play in the Super Bowl.

There are at least a dozen who will be participating for the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks in Sunday’s Super Bowl who toiled for at least eight years in the NFL before getting a chance to play for the title.

Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey is the poster child. He waited 15 years.

The other includes the last XFL player still in the NFL, a couple of Chargers who

got close, a Canadian who lost the NFC title in overtime a couple of years ago, and a number who played on very bad teams before finding their way to ones of the cusp of greatness.

Bailey is philosophical about being at his first Super Bowl.

“If I was supposed to be here, I would have been here a long time ago,” Bailey said Thursday as players

held their final interviews before the first Super Bowl in an outdoor stadium in a cold-weather city. “Things do take time, and I finally got with the right group of guys, as a whole. I played with some great players, but this is definitely the best team I’ve been on.”

Sherman excuses hollow

It’s sad that in this allegedly post-racial society we live in, so many controversies seem to lead us, indeed force us, back into the topic of race. And that was the case when Richard Sherman seemingly lost his ever-lovin’ cool on the field and then in a postgame interview two weeks ago.

Sherman threw up a choke sign to an opposing quarterback. He got in the face of a defeated foe. And then, in that now infamous postgame interview, he scolded that beaten opponent at the top of his lungs.

He figuratively stood over a prostrate man and kicked him.

And it took about three minutes before the narrative of excuses for such behavior hit the Internet. Excuse No. 1 had Sherman merely letting off steam. Excuse No. 2 deflected blame to the media for unjustly wanting a player to fall in line after complaining too many athletes are robotic.

Finally, predictably, the most common excuse was that Sherman was targeted for criticism because he is black.

Sherman himself seemed to initially shield himself from criticism by pointing to how some social media bullies called him a “thug,” which has quickly become a code word for a racial epithet.

It was crazy.

And then sanity prevailed.

“Last week, I felt like I regretted just attacking a man — attacking him and taking away from my teammates,” Sherman said this week. “You never want to talk down on a man to build yourself up and things like that. So I regretted that, and I regretted taking that attention away from my teammates. That’s the one thing that I wish I could do again.”

Thank you for being honest, because although while there might have been some racists offended by your rant simply because you are black, there are people like me who were offended because you simply showed poor sportsmanship.

And I have zero issue with that psychological assault on an opponent’s mind and emotions while the game is on in order to gain an upper hand.

So you talking trash to San Francisco’s Michael Crabtree or anyone else is merely a new chapter to an old story.

But there has to be an off switch that gets flipped when the contest is over. When that time comes and the foe is defeated, the sharp tongue needs to yield to your greater sense of grace, sportsmanship, dignity and honor.

The excuse mongers also suggested the behavior we saw on national television was merely a souped-up athlete talking while he was still revved up after a huge game and grand performance.

Not buying that, either.

NFL players do interviews coming off the field all the time, and this one was the exception rather than the rule.

Also, you said pretty much the same things about Crabtree and quarterback Colin Kaepernick about 30 minutes after the on-field rant.

Royals, Chen agree to $4.25M deal Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Left-hander Bruce Chen got his wish Thursday, agreeing to a $4.25 million, one-year contract to return to the Kansas City Royals, where he has spent the past five seasons.

Chen became a free agent after last season, but he made it clear that he wanted to return to the Royals. He’ll do so on a deal that pays $3.25 million this season with

a mutual option at $5.5 million for 2015 with a $1 million buyout. The deal is subject to a physical, likely to take place today.

He’ll also be eligible for performance bonuses this season of $125,000 for each start from 16 through 25, a sign the Royals may view him primarily as a long-reliever with the ability to step in as a spot starter in the case of injuries or ineffectiveness.

That’s similar to the role Chen had last season, arguably the best of his 15-year career. He went 9-4 with a 3.27 ERA while making 15 starts and 19 appearances out of the bullpen.

One of the most popular players in the clubhouse, the 36-year-old Chen has seemingly gotten better with age. He won 35 games for the Royals from 2010-12, when he

Smithson was already in Lawrence when Mann, the top-ranked juco running back in the country, and Fletcher made their official visits. The 6-foot4, 255-pound defensive end said it was like an instant reunion when they all got together again.

The Broncos picked him up.

“Dude, this is what we play for, man,” said Mincey, who has played six seasons, missed another with a thumb injury, and had another as a practice squad player. “This is why we keep playing.

A lot of us go through a lot in this league, especially guys like me and Mike Adams who have been with so many different teams, different situations. It feels good to actually have this opportunity and for things to land in sync.”

Ironically, Mincey had refused to go to any previous Super Bowl unless

KC Piper 44, Baldwin 40 Wellsville — The Baldwin High girls fell to KC Piper, after building 10-point leads in both halves of their semifinal

Baldwin scored the first 10 points before letting Piper come back to take a 24-23 lead early in the second half. Baldwin then scored the next 11 points to again go up by double digits, 34-24, with 1:23 to play in the period.

Baldwin’s undoing was the fourth quarter when the Bulldogs were outscored 15-6. Leading, 34-

he was playing one. This year, he told his fiancee that he intended to buy tickets and go.

“But I ended up being here buying more tickets for people to come see me play in it,” he said.

Adams, a Broncos safety in his 10th season, is so excited to be playing in the Super Bowl that he has vowed to walk the 12mile trek home to Paterson if Denver wins.

“My friends and family will be right in the stands, (so I can) go ahead and hug them, and then maybe if I decide to walk home, they can all walk home with me,” he said.

“I don’t know if they’ll like it, but they will.”

Seattle guard Paul McQuistan played with Oakland and Cleveland before coming to Seattle.

As much as he wanted to play in the Super Bowl, he never worried whether he would get there. It wasn’t a career breaker.

“This is a team game,” he said. “Getting here is ic-

ing on the cake. Every kid dreams of getting there and playing in the big game. It’s an awesome opportunity, but if I didn’t get there it would take away from what I’ve done.”

The odds of playing in the Super Bowl aren’t good. The average career length is less than four years and only 106 players out of close to 1,700 make it each year.

Seattle tackle Tony McDaniel played three seasons with Jacksonville and four with Miami before joining Seattle this season.

Broncos cornerback Quentin Jammer and defensive end Shaun Phillips got close to the big one playing a decade in San Diego.

Jammer admitted doubts crept in.

“You go 11 years and you didn’t make it and you start to come toward the end of your career and you know you’ve only got a few more years left in you,” he said.

with James Shields, Jeremy Guthrie and recently signed Jason Vargas. Talented left-hander Danny Duffy, who came back from Tommy John surgery last season, is in line for one of the remaining spots, leaving the fifth job up for grabs.

Hard-throwing youngster Yordano Ventura pitched well during a September call-up and is widely expected to join

the rotation at some point this season. It’s possible that Chen could serve as a stopgap out of spring training if Ventura isn’t quite ready to step into the rotation.

Former starter Luke Hochevar, who flourished in the bullpen last season, and Wade Davis, who has also been much better as a reliever than a starter, could also compete for the job.

Lawrence girls fall in Emporia opener things,” LHS coach Nick Wood said. “We forced them into 23 turnovers.

The Lions trailed 15-4 after one quarter and 17-10 at halftime. Topeka then outscored the Lions 17-10 in the third quarter for a 34-20 lead.

The Lions (2-9) will play Wichita Southeast at 4:45 p.m. today.

Top 25 No. 13 Cincinnati 69, No. 12 Louisville 66 Louisville, Ky. — Sean Kilpatrick scored 28 points, including six free throws down the stretch that helped Cincinnati rally for a victory over Louisville on Thursday night.

Unfazed despite blowing the last of two second-half leads, the firstplace Bearcats (20-2, 9-0 American Athletic Conference) regrouped to hold the Cardinals to just two points over the final five minutes to win the conference showdown with a big hand from Kilpatrick.

Down 64-61, Kilpatrick made two from the line before Justin Jackson’s tip-in gave Cincinnati the lead for good with 1:41 left.

After Russ Smith’s missed layup and Montrezl Harrell’s turnover, Kilpatrick closed with four more free throws in the final nine seconds to cap the Bearcats’ 13th straight win that put them 21⁄2 games ahead of Louisville (17-4, 6-2).

‘Barrymore’ star nothing like his role Fans of movies, theater and great acting are in for a treat tonight. “Great Performances” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents Christopher Plummer in his Tony awardwinning performance as John Barrymore in “Barrymore.”

In this lavish, yet intimate, production, Plummer portrays Barrymore at the very end of his life as he prepares to stage Shakespeare’s “Richard III” one last time. His mind battered by alcoholism and a lifetime of excess, Barrymore n e e d s constant prompting from an unseen and exasperated assistant. Each line inspires a memory and anecdote from the beleaguered actor, who looks back at his four marriages, his dynastic acting family, his early stabs at journalism, his onstage triumphs in England and America, his “descent” into film, and his love of singing, drinking and bad, bawdy poetry.

All of this personal agony is distilled through disjointed eruptions of Shakespearean dialogue, and each line is spoken with either spine-tingling intensity or the casualness of a party trick delivered by a master all too keenly aware that he has squandered a magnificent talent. ‘‘Barrymore” demonstrates how Christopher Plummer, now 84, shows no sign of slowing down. When he won an Oscar in 2012 for his supporting role in “Beginners,” he became the oldest actor to ever win an Academy Award. And he didn’t exactly come out of mothballs for that part. He’s been busy over the past two decades, appearing notably in “The Insider,” ‘‘The Last Station” and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”

Tonight’s other highlights

Joint checking becomes a marital issue on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox).

An escaped con professes his innocence in the worst way on “Hawaii Five-0” (8 p.m., CBS).

“Billy Joel: A Matter of Trust — The Bridge to Russia” (8 p.m., Showtime) looks back at the singer’s decision to mount a 1987 concert in the Soviet Union.

The gang participates in the International Grocery Games on “Raising Hope” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

An exotic reality star has her last close-up on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS Beatrix of the Netherlands, the former queen regent, is 76.

Baseball Hall-of-Famer Nolan Ryan is 67. Actor Jonathan Banks is 67. Actress Portia de Rossi is 41. Actress Kerry Washington is 37. Singer Justin Timberlake is 33.

several years. We are all in our 40s. Recently, we have grown apart.

I’ve seen Facebook postings of things they are doing and pictures of activities they’ve done together, and I haven’t been invited to any of them.

I mentioned this to one of them, who assured me they weren’t trying to hurt me. But I recently saw pictures of them celebrating on New Year’s Eve. The same friend told me it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, that they had no plans to celebrate, but circumstances allowed it when their shifts ended. When I asked the other friend, she gave a flippant remark as if it didn’t matter.

Am I being oversensitive? Is it too much to think they could have called or texted

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Jan. 31: This year you flip-flop from one stance to another, and it confuses others’ perceptions. If you are single, the person you choose today might not be your long-term choice. If you are attached, your partner could be thrown off by your changing attitude.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You could feel uncomfortable about a matter. You might have pushed someone away.

Tonight: TGIF! Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be overwhelmed by what’s happening. A loved one’s response might not warm the cockles of your heart.

Tonight: Celebrate the weekend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could question a decision more than you need to.

Recognize your limits in the present situation, and resist pushing too hard. Tonight: Your treat.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You’ll respond positively to someone’s efforts to draw you in. Relating closely happens naturally when you are with this person. Tonight: Follow the music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You are able to see a personal matter differently from how many people do. You will want to communicate your vision more fully than you have in the

me to join them? I sat at home, ringing in the New Year alone.

My gut tells me to move along. What do you think? — Afterthought Dear Afterthought: Your gut is right. These friends are no longer interested in making the effort to include you. Please search for friendships elsewhere.

There’s no reason to sit home alone because others don’t call.

Make your own plans. Get involved in activities that will allow you to meet others and become more interesting in the process.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others insist on dominating the scene, no matter what is going on. Tonight: With a favorite person.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might feel as though you are carrying a burden alone, but that is not the case. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have been very sure of yourself lately and perhaps too hard on someone you care about. Tonight: Act as if there will never be another Friday night.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Use your instincts in a conversation. Understand that much more is going on than meets the eye. Tonight: Head home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will experience an urge to spend. That desire is fueled by a personal situation. Tonight: You deserve to have some fun.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be aware of your effect on others. Sometimes you are pushed beyond what you can handle. Tonight: Make it OK to be a little overindulgent.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might sense a change in the air, but you are uncomfortable with change. Tonight: All smiles — it’s Friday!

Dear Annie: I have a question regarding the appropriateness of a grandfather sleeping with a 5-year-old granddaughter during visits to her family home. In this case, the grandmother and grandfather take turns sleeping in the same bed with the granddaughter.

I feel this is most inappropriate and sends very mixed messages to the child. I have read some research that suggests it shouldn’t be done after the age of 8, or at reaching puberty.

What is your take? — Concerned Cousin Dear Cousin: Unless one of the grandparents is molesting the child, this is nothing to be alarmed about.

The grandparents don’t live with the family and don’t sleep with the
