WORKER BRAD TINDEL makes a phone call Tuesday from a second-story window of one of two residence halls under construction along Kansas University’s Daisy Hill. Tindel and others spent the day working on waterproofing measures for the windows. The two new five-story buildings, meant to replace the nearly 50-year-old, 10-story McCollum Hall, will hold up to 350 students each. The first residents will move in next August.

Federal health law forces expansion of the State Employee Health Plan

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — More than 2,000 state, municipal and school district employees in Kansas will become eligible for full-time health benefits starting Jan. 1 at a cost of about $5.3 million a year to state and local government taxpayers, state officials said Tuesday.

No arrest in slaying; language cited as hurdle

Nearing a month after Lawrence police said they found 19-year-old Justina Altamirano Mosso slain inside a Lawrence apartment, officials have yet to detain a suspect, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said Tuesday.

Eudora has reason to pound its chest a little bit. A new study has found that it is the sixth best city in Kansas for young families. The financial website NerdWallet has released its annual ranking and found that Eudora’s combination of schools, housing prices and income growth make it an attractive place to raise a family.

Lawrence ranked No. 36 out of the 48 cities in the study. You might be asking how the 6 miles between Eudora and Lawrence can equate to 30 places in the survey. In a nutshell, the answer seems to be a combination of cheaper housing, higher incomes and slightly better ranked schools made the difference for Eudora.

Eudora schools received a “Great Schools” rating of 6 out of 10, while Lawrence schools were rated a 5. Median home values in Eudora came in at $145,800 compared with $176,500 in Lawrence. Median monthly homeowner costs were $1,394 in Eudora versus $1,461 in Lawrence. Median household income was $62,576 versus $44,713 in Lawrence.

And finally, incomes from 1999 to 2012 grew by 50 percent in Eudora compared with only 28 percent in Lawrence.

Andover, a suburb of Wichita, ranked No. 1 on the list. Kansas City, Kan., ranked last of the 48 cities studied.

judge earlier this year overturned the board’s decision to revoke Neuhaus’ license but upheld its finding that her recordkeeping was inadequate.

The judge sent her case back to the board, and staff attorneys representing a disciplinary panel still want to keep her from practicing medicine.

The board has a hearing set for Dec. 11.

Neuhaus, from the small town of Nortonville about 30 miles north of Lawrence, had a license allowing her to provide charity care but wants to return to having a full license. One of her attorneys, Bob Eye, said Tuesday that the influence of an “anti-choice clique” in state government is “the elephant in the living

room” in Neuhaus’ case.

“It’s probably strengthened her view about protecting a woman’s right to choose, because it’s under attack,” Eye said.

Abortion opponents have criticized Neuhaus for years, and the board’s case was prompted by a 2006 complaint from an official with the Operation Rescue group.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, who appoints the medical board’s members, is a strong abortion opponent.

The board’s staff declined to comment about the case because it’s still pending. In a filing last month, attorneys noted that Neuhaus was sanctioned in 1999 and 2001 for keeping inadequate records.

Young said some student workers may slip through the cracks if they work two or three different part-time jobs on campus. But he said KU has been trying to tighten its policy to prevent that from happening.

Outside the university system, Michael said about 84 percent of all state employees who are now considered part-time, or about 1,680 people, will become classified as full-time for purposes of health benefits starting Jan. 1.

He estimated that will cost the state about

$1.5 million in additional premiums.

Michael did not have estimates for the number of local government and school district employees who will be affected, but he estimated the cost to those employers at about $300,000 a year.

Douglas County, the city of Lawrence and the Lawrence school district all operate their own employee health plans and do not participate in the state plan.

Altamirano Mosso’s cousin Hortencia Flores, who lives in Lawrence, said she has been in constant fear since the death of her cousin without an arrest being made.

“I’m afraid of how my cousin died. My family has told me to leave here,” Flores said in Spanish. “I would be more secure if they caught the suspect.”

McKinley said though the translation problem has added a hurdle to the investigation, detectives continue to make strides toward a resolution.

“Despite this challenge and others, we continue to make progress in the investigation,” McKinley said. “That said, we still encourage anyone with information on this case to call Lawrence Police at 832-7509 or CrimeStoppers at 843-8477.”

A special Spanish speaking tips line has also been set up and can be reached by calling 830-7482.

City rejects parking plan for complex

Thrice Christmas mice

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

A proposed $75 million apartment project near Kansas University is back in limbo again after city commissioners on Tuesday rejected a plan that would have reduced the number of on-site parking spaces required for the project.

Commissioners unanimously rejected the idea that the 624-bedroom apartment complex slated for 1101 and 1115 Indiana St. could use nearby parking spaces in KU parking lots to help meet the city’s parking code. Commissioners said they were worried many of those parking lots are already Please see CITY, page 6A Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

Nancy Hause was horrified when she went to pick up her dogs, Zebulon and Bentley, from their boarder, Christal K-9, after she had returned home from visiting family in Missouri for Thanksgiving.

Hause, of Lawrence, had just dropped off her dogs on the previous Wednesday. She had used the business for years.

She pulled up to the building at 3115 W. Sixth St. around 2 p.m. Saturday to find it charred, with no sign indicat-

ing where her beloved pets might be. “I walked into the business and it was virtually gutted, black with smoke and no one around,� Hause said. “Jazzercise, next door, was closed with a note on the door that there had been a fire.�

Hause called Christal K-9’s owner, Cedric Devin, who she said told her that a fire had occurred at the pet services business and that her dogs, along with about 19 others, had been taken to emergency veterinary Please see FIRE, page 5A

clinics in Lawrence and the Kansas City area. One dog died at the scene despite firefighters’ efforts to use pet oxygen masks, fire officials said Saturday. Investigators later determined the fire had caused about $60,000 in damage and was caused by an electrical malfunction in a box fan. “(Devin) said they were fine, that they’d been taken to Kansas City vet hospitals just for observation and that Bentley might need to stay overnight since he was older,� Hause said. “I called the hospitals and got the true story.�

Devin has declined to speak with the JournalWorld.

Bentley, who was 14, had experienced smoke inhalation and died Sunday night from complications from the fire. Three days later, Zebulon remains in critical condition at Blue Pearl Veterinary Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., suffering from smoke inhalation, fluid on his lungs, corneal ulcers and tracheal burns, Hause’s daughter, Lauren Leonard, said. “Our family is absolutely devastated and hopeful that her remaining dog, Zeb, will survive this horrible situation,� Leonard said. “At the moment, he has a 50/50 chance.�

Hause said veterinarians had told her the next three days will determine Zebulon’s fate. He’s been “coasting� since the fire, not getting any better or worse, Hause said.

Hause and her family have gone to visit Zebulon at the veterinary hospital every day since the fire.

They brought the husky mix his favorite stuffed animal chew toy from home to comfort him as he receives medical care.

“Dogs are just family,�

Hause said.

Hause was able to see Bentley “one last time� Sunday morning before he died.

The Labrador and border collie mix had been her late husband’s before he died, so the loss hit her especially hard. “He would come and sit on your feet at the end of the day,� Hause said. “He was a very loving, caring dog.�

It is unclear how many dogs have died or are still suffering from complications from the fire. VCA Mission Animal Referral and Emergency Center in Mission confirmed that they had one animal, a Labrador mix named Jigg, in their care.

Jigg is suffering from upper airway inflammation and is being cared for in a special oxygen cage, VCA spokeswoman Micah Townsend said. “He’s hanging in there,�

Townsend said. “He’s coughing up dark material, which is indicative of smoke inhalation.�

VCA also treated Bentley before he died.

Blue Pearl spokeswoman Georgia Flood would not say how many dogs from the fire they had treated, but Hause said Blue Pearl had told her at least one dog in their care had died.

Veterinarian Marguerite Ermeling of Gentle Care Animal Hospital in Lawrence told the JournalWorld Monday that her clinic treated several of the rescued dogs. She said some could have long-lasting effects from the smoke, but nothing that would prevent them from having a “normal life.�

Attempts to reach Christal K-9 for comment on Monday and Tuesday were unsuccessful.

Burglary CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said Tuesday. One of the residents came downstairs after hearing the noise and reportedly saw him attempt to hide behind a door before running from the residence, McKinley said.

The resident called police, but police could not find McConnell on Sunday. Though they did not make an arrest that night, officers discovered the suspect had collected five bottles of alcohol and an Xbox 360 in an apparent attempt to remove them from the home, McKinley said.

McConnell was arrested early Tuesday afternoon after a caller reported around 11:45 a.m. that his home had just been burglarized and that he had watched the suspect run to and enter a home at 1408 Kentucky St., McKinley said.

Police then arrested McConnell inside 1408 Kentucky, where “some of the seven tenants� of the home were still inside, McKinley said. McConnell had filled a trash bag with an Xbox 360, a Playstation 1 game console, a Playstation 2 game console, 42 assorted video games and a three-pound bag of Tyson chicken taken from the refrigerator, McKinley said.

McConnell was found hiding behind a door in one of the bedrooms, McKinley said.

A Lawrence woman who says she was the target of a phone scam wants to alert the public so others can avoid being tricked.

Lavivian Drake, 78, of Lawrence, said she received a phone call Monday from someone claiming to be her grandson. The caller said he was in “serious trouble� in Montreal and needed money.

Drake realized she was speaking to an imposter when he mentioned his name was John, which is not the name of her

grandson. But this common phone scam tactic has tricked others out of thousands of dollars in the past.

Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department said enough information on a person’s family and friends can be found on social media to pull off the con. “If the name of the grandson is right, I think they would fall for it,�

Few Kansas welfare applicants tested for drugs Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — The new practice of drug testing welfare applicants in Kansas is off to a slow start.

After four months, only 20 applicants have been tested, with four testing positive. Five refused the tests. State officials predict the numbers will increase as staffers grow more comfortable in referring welfare applicants for drug testing.

Theresa Freed, a spokeswoman for the state’s children and families department, which

administers the drugtesting program, said it’s important to note that this is the first year, The Kansas City Star reported.

Under the law, which was passed in 2013 and took effect July 1, only suspected drug users who are applying for benefits under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program were to be tested. Factors like a recent drug-related arrest can trigger the testing requirement. The law also was intended to connect

BRIEFLY Farmers wrap up 2014 growing season Wichita — Kansas farmers are harvesting the last fall crops from the 2014 growing season.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday in its last weekly crop update of the year that Kansas farmers are cutting their remaining row crops and moving cattle to crop residue for pasture.

The agency said 95 percent of the sorghum and 92 percent of the sunflowers have been harvested in Kansas. Cotton harvest is at 65 percent.

Pasture and range conditions were rated as 8 percent very poor, 16 percent poor, 43 percent fair, 31 percent good and 2 percent excellent. Stock water supplies are reported as adequate in 71 percent of the state.

Republican said. “It is impossible to fully evaluate a program that is only four months old. We want to give it time to administratively work.”

Kansas is one of at least 11 states with laws requiring drug testing for public-assistance applicants or recipients.

Missouri has been testing applicants since March and has conducted 655 tests so far. Almost 70 tested positive, but about 700 refused the test and were disqualified for benefits. Nearly 70 tests were conducted in the program’s first four months.

In Utah, 84 drug tests were carried out in its first four months.

Critics of Kansas’ drug-testing bill suspect the four-month results are a sign of an understaffed state department under Republican Gov.

Sam Brownback’s administration.

“We have pared these agencies back to the marrow,” said state Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat. “They don’t have a lot of people hanging around who have time to implement some of these programs that we pass.”

Freed said the department supports the reasons behind the drugtesting bill. She said it’s a process of “learning what works and what doesn’t.”

Police search for teen; not believed to be in danger Boy hit by van still in serious condition A 6-year-old boy who was struck while riding his bicycle near Sixth Street and Rockledge Road remains in serious condition Tuesday, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

The boy, who is from Lawrence, was flown to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., on Nov. 24 after being struck in the crosswalk by two vehicles, McKinley said.

Shortly before the collision, Monte Rogers, 65, of Lawrence, was stopped at a stoplight in the eastbound lane of Sixth Street as the boy started to cross the street, McKinley said. When the light turned green, he struck the boy, who was still in the crosswalk, McKinley said.

Rogers’ car landed on the boy’s bicycle and a vehicle behind Rogers, driven by Steven Walker, 64, of Lawrence, also struck the boy, McKinley said.

Both drivers submitted blood tests for alcohol or drug impairment, but officers do not suspect the results to be positive, McKinley said.

Lawrence police have not issued any citations to the men. McKinley said he did not know if action would be taken against Rogers or Walker. As of Monday, the boy remains hospitalized, McKinley said.

The Lawrence Police Department is searching for a teen who went missing around Thanksgiving.

Jeremiah Boldridge Boldridge,

15, of Lawrence, who goes by the name of Jay, was last seen Nov. 26, according to a Facebook group set up after his disappearance.

Sgt. Troy Squire, a spokesperson for the LPD, said police at this time do not believe Boldridge is in danger. The Facebook group says Bold-

ridge packed his clothes and left overnight in an attempt to run away.

Those with information regarding Boldridge’s disappearance are asked to call the LPD at 785-832-7509 or CrimeStoppers at 785-843TIPS (8477). Calls made to CrimeStoppers can be made anonymously.

several million dollars in development costs.

Several Oread residents spoke against the proposed parking reduction, and a representative with KU’s Student Senate also spoke against the request.

“When you come home after a long day of class or after working so you can pay for that apartment you’re living in, you need a spot to park your car all the time, not just when one happens to be available,” said Will Admussen, government relations director for the Student Sentate.

Commissioners also received data showing several of the KU parking lots in the area are oversold. Numbers from KU show the university has issued 373 permits for the 307 parking spaces outside of GSP/Corbin residence halls.

“I just don’t feel like this is worth putting additional stress on the neighborhood,” City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer said.

But at least two commissioners — Mike Dever and Terry Riordan — said they would consider a proposal to allow the apartment project to move forward if KU officials could set aside 100 parking spots specifically for the use of the apartment’s tenants and also provide some assurances that those spots would be available for the next 15 to 20 years.

The development group, HERE LLC, previously said it hoped to break ground on the project by the end of the year.

In other news, commissioners: l Unanimously directed the city auditor to study six topics during the next year.

overcrowded and the apartment project would increase the demand for on-street parking in the adjacent Oread neighborhood.

“I believe a KU permit is just something that allows you to go look for a parking space,” Mayor Mike Amyx said. “I would hate for tenants to just have a hunting license.”

A representative with the Chicago-based development group left Tuesday’s meeting without providing any details on whether the latest denial had put the project in jeopardy. Previously, the development group has said the parking exemption was “vital” to the feasibility of the project, which has struggled to garner financing. The development group is seeking to eliminate 100 parking spaces in the proposed parking garage for the project, which would save

Boundary shifts The Lawrence school district has many factors to consider as it adjusts boundaries for elementary and middle schools.

B

alancing enrollment numbers and areas in Lawrence schools, especially at the elementary school level, is no easy task.

Families move to certain neighborhoods with the expectation that their children will attend certain schools. Although the district has multi-year transition plans that allow some students to continue at their current schools, many students must move to a new school and leave behind a familiar building as well as some friends and favored teachers. Many families are legitimately concerned about how students will make the adjustment. In a number of cases, students may be attending a school that is physically farther away from their homes causing additional scheduling and transportation issues.

On the other side, however, is the need to balance enrollments. It’s not fair to fill some elementary schools well beyond their intended capacity, while leaving other schools with enrollments well below what they can handle. The district has a responsibility to taxpayers to efficiently use the space it already has before adding on to existing buildings or considering new construction.

Balancing the numbers is just one part of the job. District officials need to be mindful of the added transportation costs that might result from moving some students to schools farther from their homes. The safety of students going to and from school also must be a top priority. A recent traffic accident involving a youngster riding a bicycle at Sixth Street and Rockledge Road is a vivid reminder of the hazards of children crossing busy thoroughfares between home and school.

The seven-member Boundary Advisory Committee currently is looking at ways to reduce enrollments which are near capacity at Deerfield, Langston Hughes and Schwegler elementary schools as well as adjust enrollments in the district’s four middle schools. After gathering comment on their initial report, the committee will meet at 5:30 p.m. today at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive, to consider adjustments to their plan. Two community meetings are planned at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Deerfield and Schwegler schools to gather additional feedback on the plans.

The district is weighing many factors, and families must understand that no boundary plan is going to please to everyone. As noted at the outset, it’s not an easy job.

Visit may advance Islamic State fight Washington — The Obama administration’s slow campaign against the Islamic State takes a small step forward this week as a leading Sunni politician visits Washington to urge support for a 10,000-member national guard force that could gradually help regain control of Mosul.

Atheel al-Nujaifi, the governor of Ninevah province, said in an interview that he will meet with officials at the Pentagon, State Department and White House to urge that the U.S. train and arm the volunteer force. Nujaifi and other members of the provincial government were driven from Mosul in June when the Iraqi army collapsed and Islamic State fighters seized the city.

Nujaifi’s carefully arranged visit suggests some outlines of the strategy the U.S. is developing with its coalition partners in Iraq. He had voiced many of the same ideas when we talked last August by Skype, and the fourmonth interlude before the Washington trip illustrates the slow development of the U.S.-led campaign.

The Iraqi official made several comments that challenged conventional wisdom among Iraqi Sunnis. He argued that a tribal militia isn’t the answer, especially in Ninevah where tribes are weak and disorganized; he spoke positively about Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, a Shi-

“

Nujaifi argues that the best model for liberating northern Iraq isn’t the Awakening movement of the previous decade, which mobilized Sunni tribes, but a multi-sectarian force that includes Christians, Yazidis and Turkmen along with the majority Sunni Arab population.” ite who still isn’t trusted by many Sunnis; he rejected a quasi-autonomous “Sunnistan” region in northern and western Iraq; and finally, he said he is working with Turkish military and political leaders on training and equipping fighters.

My only worry in talking with the English-speaking, pinstripe-suited Nujaifi is that he represents an Iraqi

elite that has in many ways been shattered by the decades of war and the rise of the brutal extremism represented by the Islamic State. Americans over the last decade have often made the mistake of assuming that pro-American “good guys” such as Nujaifi will prevail in the free-fire zone of Iraqi politics. If that hope could be easily realized, the history of the last decade would have been quite different.

Nujaifi said he had met twice with Abadi since he became prime minister in September. “I respect this man. He wants to work. He’s open-minded, not like Maliki,” a reference to Abadi’s predecessor, Nouri al-Maliki, who was seen as a polarizing, pro-Iranian figure by most Sunni leaders.

Nujaifi argues that the best model for liberating northern Iraq isn’t the Awakening movement of the previous decade, which mobilized Sunni tribes, but a multi-sectarian force that includes Christians, Yazidis and Turkmen along with the majority Sunni Arab population. In recruiting volunteers for this force, he argued, they should be organized by neighborhoods and districts so that they will have support from the local population.

“For us in Mosul, it’s better to fight (the Islamic State) in a systematic way,

controlled by (military) officers, not (tribal) sheiks,” Nujaifi said. Already, he noted, local fighters are operating secretly inside Mosul gathering intelligence and preparing the battle space.

Nujaifi said a training camp had recently opened for police from Ninevah who fled in June. Canadian and U.S. advisers are beginning to train 4,375 police at the camp in Kurdistan, about 30 miles from Mosul.

Nujaifi said he hopes soon to open a second training camp nearby for about 10,000 national guard recruits, who would be selected from the 1 million refugees who have fled Ninevah, nearly 25 percent of the province’s population.

The Turkish government has already agreed to support both training camps, Nujaifi said. Jordan, too, has been helpful.

Nujaifi hopes for support from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, but he said it isn’t yet visible on the ground.

Iran poses the trickiest problem. Nujaifi said he had met several times with the Iranian ambassador in Irbil, who had offered weapons for the fight against the Sunni jihadists. “We can’t accept that,” he said. “Our people think that the main enemy is Iran.”

State official outlines mental health plans

By Gina Meier-Hummel Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services

I am writing in response to your Nov. 24 editorial regarding mental health care in Kansas to provide your readers with some additional information.

Gov. Brownback began working to strengthen the delivery of mental health services in Kansas when he took office in 2011. That effort continues. I would remind you of the Governor’s Mental Health Initiative, a nearly yearlong project carried out by a 20-person team of professionals, educators, law enforcement, clergy and interested citizens, most of whom were from outside of Topeka, commissioned by the governor to study the Meier-Hummel state’s mental health system. The task force visited communities across the state to learn what residents believe is needed to better serve their mental health needs.

This task force report provided 20 pages of recommendations that the governor and his administration are actively implementing. Earlier this year, based on those recommendations, the governor unveiled $9.5 million (in addition to the budgeted amount of funding) of new state investments in mental health initiatives. This includes $500,000 for drug and alcohol treatment, a

YOUR TURN million-dollar investment in southcentral Kansas to open a community treatment center network and additional funding to support community initiatives, strengthen families with mental health challenges and to divert individuals with mental illness from in-patient treatment to community-based services.

At the same time, the governor and his staff worked with a group of professionals and advocates in the Kansas City metro area to re-purpose the former Rainbow Mental Health Facility and create Rainbow Services Inc., a multi-purpose crisis and triage center that is having tremendous success, serving people in the metro area effectively and efficiently.

And under KanCare we now provide an option for individuals struggling with longer-term mental health challenges to have their needs met through “health homes,” a wrap-around, multiprofessional support team providing them with coordinated, intense case management and care.

The state is acutely aware of the dwindling number of hospital mental health in-patient beds. This has affected Kansas as well as all of its surrounding states. The state now is working on multiple initiatives to ensure that individuals in crisis have options that include in-patient care. We also are working with our state hospitals, which serve as an important anchor in the continuum of care and are currently carrying the lion’s share of

the burden imposed by the closure of private, in-patient beds.

The state is working to create a recovery-oriented system of care, whether Kansans live in rural areas or cities. We are working to break down barriers to the open discussion of mental health and the impact mental illness can have on individuals, families, our communities and our state.

We have programs in many schools conducting outreach efforts and providing education, and we are working to strengthen prevention initiatives for children, adults and families on multiple fronts.

Finally, the Brownback administration is collaborating with the Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas and the Kansas Mental Health Coalition, and both have endorsed the state’s initiatives to expand the availability of care to Kansans. Individuals in crisis need timely, accessible care and we are making this a reality.

Since taking office Governor Brownback has made multiple, significant investments in developing mental health resources. The Brownback administration is in this for the long haul. You won’t see short-sighted plans or the continued funding of projects that do not produce results. Our plan is based on listening to the people, thoughtful evaluation, evidence-based practices and responding to Kansas mental health needs in a strategic, purposeful manner.

— Gina Meier-Hummel is commissioner for community services and programs for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services.

Lebanon detains alleged wife, son of Islamic State leader about Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s personal life, including how many wives and children he has. Conservative interpretations of Islam allow men to marry up to four wives. The Islamic State group did not immediately comment on the detentions, but the faction’s supporters on Twitter and militant websites cast doubt on the reports.

Adding to the confusion, the Lebanese army did not release an official statement regarding the pair.

A Lebanese military official identified the woman as Saja al-Dulaimi who was held by Syrian authorities and freed in a prisoner exchange with the Nusra Front, Syria’s al-Qaida-linked branch, earlier this year. The official said the woman “confessed during inter-

Beirut — Lebanese authorities detained a woman and young boy believed to be the wife and son of the reclusive Islamic State group leader, and were questioning the woman and conducting DNA tests on the child, senior Lebanese officials said Tuesday.

If their identities are confirmed, Lebanon may use the pair as bargaining chips to win the release of soldiers and police taken hostage by the extremists in cross-border attacks earlier this year.

The woman, who was identified as an Iraqi, and the child were taken into custody about 10 days ago while carrying fake ID cards, the officials said.

Very little is known

rogation” that she was alBaghdadi’s wife.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

It was unclear what would have brought the woman and child to Lebanon, where IS controls no territory and enjoys only small — although growing — support in some predominantly Sunni Muslim areas.

The detentions added to the mystery that continues to surround al-Baghdadi, who has a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head. He has only made one known public appearance — a sermon he delivered in July at a mosque in Mosul just days after IS declared him the head of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in the territory the group controls in Syria and Iraq.

St. Louis — Police are investigating Michael Brown’s stepfather for angry comments on the streets of Ferguson after a grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who fatally shot his stepson, a spokesman said Tuesday.

Officials want to talk to Louis Head about his comments as part of a broader investigation into the arson, vandalism and looting that followed the Nov. 24 grand jury announcement, St. Louis County Police spokesman Brian Schellman said. Twelve commercial buildings were destroyed by fire.

Video widely circulated after last week’s grand jury announcement shows Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, on top of a car and breaking down as the decision blares over a stereo. Head, her husband, comforts her then yells angry comments, including “Burn this (expletive) down!”

Family attorney Benjamin Crump has called the reaction “raw emotion,” but “completely inappropriate.” He did not immediately return messages seeking comment Tuesday.

thinker and strategist, nuclear expert, three-time Pentagon executive, budget guru and academician.

He never served in the military or in Congress, unlike many defense secretaries, including the man he would replace if President Barack Obama nominates him as Chuck Hagel’s successor. But he spent a lot of time with troops during his 2011-2013 stint as deputy defense secretary and has built relationships with an entire generation of military leaders during his years in the Pentagon.

Administration officials said Tuesday that Carter, 60, is expected to be Obama’s nominee, putting him in line to take over a far-flung, hardto-manage department that has had an uneasy relationship with the White House.

Obama spokesman Josh Earnest stopped short of confirming that the president had made a decision, yet praised Carter effusively for serving “very, very ably” at the Pentagon previously and noted he had been easily confirmed by the Senate before.

“This is an indication that he fulfills some of the criteria that we’ve discussed in the past,” Earnest said. “He is somebody who definitely deserves and has demonstrated strong bipartisan support for his previous service in government.”

Administration officials said Obama could announce his nominee as early as this week.

Washington — The Republican-led House may vote this week to undo President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration, House Speaker John Boehner told lawmakers Tuesday as he sought to give outraged conservatives an outlet to vent over Obama’s move without shutting down the government.

The move would be mostly symbolic, since Obama would certainly veto such legislation and the Democratic-led Senate likely wouldn’t go along with it. But GOP leaders hope it will assuage Republicans furious about Obama’s twoweek-old actions to shield some 4 million immigrants in this country illegally from deportation, and grant them work permits.

“We’re looking at a number of options in terms of how to address this. This is a serious breach of our Constitution,” Boehner told reporters. “It’s a serious threat to our system of government, and frankly we have limited options and limited ability to deal with it directly.”

Publicly, the speaker told reporters that Republicans were considering several options and no decision had been made, but aides and lawmakers said that he indicated during a closeddoor meeting with the rank and file earlier that the vote on legislation to block Obama was the leading option.

Macaroni and cheese with a nutritious twist

I

got really inspired by the sweet potato fries I made last week, and I’ve been rocking the sweet potatoes ever since. I have to be careful, though, because my sweet potato-hating family will not go for obvious recipes, and I hate most sweet recipes anyway, so I shy away from things that have syrup or marshmallows or other sweeteners.

On Monday night I had a sick kid and not much time to cook, but I wanted to have a nice amount of food in the fridge if I or a sitter was going to have to stay home with him, so a big pan of oven mac and cheese sounded like an easy and appropriate solution. As I started the water boiling, I spied a couple of

The Flying Fork

Megan Stuke sweet potatoes lounging in the produce bowl, and thought “Why not?” I am here to tell you: There is no reason why not. To be honest, I didn’t tell anyone it was in there, and no one noticed. So yeah, here’s a way to hide some vitamins and fiber in that gooey mac and cheese and then we all feel a little better about the whole thing.

Hidden Sweet Potato Mac and Cheese

1 box elbow macaroni 1 large block cheddar cheese, cut into cubes (about 2 cups) 1 cup other cheese (I used mozzarella) 1/2 stick butter, cut into cubes 3 eggs 2/3 cup milk 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced salt and pepper Boil and drain your macaroni. I reserved the hot water and boiled the sweet potatoes in it. Cut your cheese into 1 1/2 inch cubes and set aside.

When the sweet potato pieces are cooked through, mash them with a potato

Pour it into the potato/ cheese/noodle mixture, and salt and pepper fairly liberally.

Move it all to a 9 x 13 casserole pan and bake at 350 until it’s melty and a little brown and crispy on top, about 25 minutes.

Nobody is going to blame you if your holiday party spread includes a bowl of mixed nuts, some grapes and a wedge or two of cheese. After all, most people enjoy them and are willing to nibble mindlessly on them. But it is easier than you think to elevate your feast by bolstering those tired party snack cliches with a few more creative offerings.

You won’t need to work very hard at this.

Most holiday party snacks can be assembled in less than 10 minutes, and many can be assembled ahead of time. And the only truly important rule is to make sure everything is neat and easy to eat (one-handing it really is best for party food).

To help get your party started, we’ve assembled some of our favorite snack ideas. We’ve even given you a way to jazz up your basic bowl of mixed nuts.

Spiced nuts

Beat 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon of water until frothy. Add 3 cups of your favorite unsalted nuts and toss to coat. In another bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss the sugar mixture with the nuts and spread on a rimmed baking sheet lined with kitchen parchment. Bake at 350 F until fragrant and dry.

Marinated olives

Whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, the zest of 1 orange, 2 minced cloves garlic and 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh rosemary. Toss with 2 cups mixed pitted olives. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for at least 4 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Honeyed goat cheese

Set an 8-ounce log of soft goat cheese on a serving plate. Drizzle the cheese liberally with honey, then sprinkle with toasted pecans, chopped fresh tarragon, grated lemon zest and ground black pepper. Serve with crackers or sliced baguette.

dates and 2 thinly sliced scallions. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Avocado shrimp cocktail

In a food processor, combine the flesh of 3 avocados with 1/2 cup cocktail sauce, 2 tablespoons horseradish, the juice of 1 lime, a splash of hot sauce and a bit of salt and pepper. Process until smooth, then transfer to a serving bowl. Top with sliced scallions and serve with cooked, chilled shrimp.

Candied kielbasa bites

Slice 1 pound of kielbasa into thin ovals. Arrange in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 cup brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Sprinkle evenly over the kielbasa. Bake at 350 F until the Marinated Mozzarella with Anchovy and Peanuts slices are golden brown and the sugar is bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Smashed lemon cannellini beans

Drain and rinse a 15-ounce can of cannellini beans.

Pat dry with paper towels, then spread on a dinner plate. Roughly smash the beans with a fork or potato masher. Drizzle all over with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with grated lemon zest, chopped fresh oregano, coarse sea salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. Serve with toasted pita chips.

Marinated mozzarella with anchovy and peanuts

Mash 3 anchovies with a fork in a medium bowl.

Add 1/2 cup good olive oil, 1 pound cubed, drained fresh mozzarella, a pinch of red pepper flakes, 2 cloves grated garlic, 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves, and 1/2 cup lightly chopped unsalted peanuts.

Serve with bread for scooping.

Sweet and spicy cracker bark

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer covering the entire baking sheet. In a Apricot prosciutto beans medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 Spread a half slice of prosciutto very thinly with cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cayapricot preserves. Wrap the prosciutto around enne (more or less to taste), 1/2 teaspoon pumpseveral haricot verts (thin French green beans) and kin pie spice blend, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a thin strip of roasted red pepper. Make a dozen or 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Bring to a simso bundles in this fashion, then stack on a serving mer and stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the tray. Sprinkle with ground black pepper. crackers, spreading until the crackers are evenly covered. Bake at 350 F until golden brown and Bacon-date cream cheese dip bubbling, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the top with Beat an 8-ounce block of cream cheese with 2 1/2 cup crumbled crisp-cooked bacon and 1/4 cup tablespoons of milk until light and fluffy. Stir in 1/2 toasted sunflower seeds. Allow to cool completely, cup crumbled well-cooked bacon, 1/2 cup chopped then break into bite-sized pieces.

Ease back into the kitchen with a simple curry in the slow cooker

M

y kitchen got some pretty heavy use over the holiday — before, during and after the holiday. Honestly, we needed to take a break from each other. The feeling was mutual (my poor oven).

To ease back into the kitchen, it seems only right to use my slow cooker. Easy for me. Easy for everything that’s still recovering from serving 10 people less than a week ago.

As you may have gathered by now, I’m a pretty big curry person.

I’m also huge on eating seasonally, which is why almost everything you see in this space during the colder months tends to include some

We tend to eat this alone with some Wheatfields bread or nothing at all, though feel free to go all traditional and have it over rice.

Savory Butternut Squash Slow Cooker Curry

thing about it is peeling and chopping up the squash (seriously), but then everything else is as easy as pie. Well, eat-

1 large butternut squash, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 to 6 cups) 1 red onion, chopped 2 to 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon minced or pureed fresh ginger 1 tablespoon Thai green curry paste 4 teaspoons Thai red chili paste

oil

2 tablespoons coconut

1 14-ounce can coconut milk 2 teaspoons coconut sugar or brown sugar 1 cup boiling water Lime juice (to taste) In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add red onion, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 3 minutes, until onion is soft.

Add curry and chili pastes and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

Stir in coconut milk.

Transfer everything in the skillet into a slow cooker. Add in butternut squash, sugar, boiling water and a generous squeeze of lime juice.

Turn on slow cooker and cook on high for three hours or low for six hours.

Serves four.

Hankering for comfort food? Consider the knish

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

If you’re looking for some cold weather comfort food, you might want to consider the knish.

Though there are many variations of the knish, they essentially are the hand pie of classic Jewish cuisine — a baked (though sometimes fried) light pastry dough filled with mashed vegetables (often potatoes) or meat. They started as peasant food, later became a 19th century street cart convenience food, and now are a staple of Jewish delis.

They can be hard to find if you don’t live in a larger city. But whether or not you’re Jewish, consider making some this winter. They are warm and filling and truly satis- Potato Knishes fying in that way that only carb-heavy food can be.

FARM FRESH $AVING$

Potato Knishes

Start to finish: 2 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 16 3 eggs, divided 6 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, divided 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon cider vinegar Kosher salt 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 large yellow onions, diced 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme Ground black pepper In a large bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the water, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the flour and knead together to form a smooth dough.

Divide the dough in 2 and wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Simmer until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly, then transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl. Mash the potatoes until mostly smooth. Set aside.

In a medium skillet over medium-high, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons of oil. Add the onions and cook until tender and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir the onions into the potatoes, along with the thyme. Season with salt and black pepper.

Heat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment.

Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll and stretch each piece until it is a long strip about 6 inches wide and 16 inches long.

Spoon half of the potato filling mixture down the middle of each strip of dough, using your hands to smooth the mixture into an even mound.

Dip your fingers in water and moisten the edges of the dough, then wrap both sides of the dough up and over the potato filling.

Slice each piece of dough, which now should resemble filled tubes, into 8 pieces. Turn each piece onto its side and use the palm of your hand to flatten slightly. Working in batches of 8, arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water until foamy.

Brush a bit of the egg mixture over each knish. Bake for 30 minutes, or until deep golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Kansas shooting better

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

SWIMMING

World stage

Kansas University’s basketball team has been trending upward in winning four straight games since its 7240 downer against Kentucky on Nov. 18 in Indianapolis.

The No. 11-ranked (5-1) Jayhawks, fresh off three wins and the Orlando Classic championship, still have some shooting stats in need of fixing, however, in large part because of that 11-of56 performance versus the Wildcats.

Obviously it takes more than a few good outings this early in the season to negate the worst shooting performance in school history.

“I was looking at the Big 12. We are eighth or ninth in the league in field-goal percentage at 42 percent,” Self stated correctly on his Hawk Talk radio show.

The Jayhawks’ 42 percent marksmanship is good for eighth in the 10-team league.

“Of course a lot of that Walt Middleton/Special to the Journal-World comes from our first couple EMMA REANEY, A NOTRE DAME SWIMMER AND Lawrence High graduate, swims in the 2014 NCAA championships in Minneapolis. games.

Topeka just fine with Kansas volleyball

For the third year in a row, the Kansas University volleyball team will be leaving the cozy confines of rocking-and-rolling Horejsi Family Athletics Center to play its most important matches of the season in unfamiliar territory.

During the last two years, that meant moving a few dozen feet to the east to host NCAA Tournament matches in Allen Fieldhouse. But with the KU men’s basketball team set to host Florida at Allen Fieldhouse on Friday night, these Jayhawks will be forced to take their show 28 miles west to Topeka’s Kansas Expocentre, where the No. 16 overall seed Jay-

hawks (22-8 overall) will play host to Arkansas-Little Rock (29-4) in a firstround game at 6:30 Friday night.

Despite being forced to make the mini-road trip, there’s no whining coming out of the KU camp as it prepares for an unprecedented third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

“No. None at all,” KU coach Ray Bechard said before Tuesday’s practice. “The positives far outweigh anything that we need to transition into.”

Throughout the past several seasons, the Jayhawks have made Horejsi one of the most electric places on KU’s campus on game nights. The 1,300seat arena, which falls about 700 seats shy of

being deemed worthy to host an NCAA Tournament event, is routinely packed with die-hard volleyball fans and a pep band that adds to the atmosphere.

Just because the walls surrounding them will be different on Friday — and Saturday if the Jayhawks advance — does not mean the Jayhawks will be any less jacked about

taking the court with a chance to add to a couple of new chapters to their recent run of success.

“We’d love to play in Horejsi or the fieldhouse, but that’s not gonna happen,” Bechard admitted. “But the administration stepped up and made it happen over in Topeka, which is far better than going into a seeded-team’s place and having to beat them on their home floor. We’re still gonna have more fans than everybody else, we’re gonna get over there to practice, and the travel on us is going to be easier than on everybody else.”

The Jayhawks were the last of the 16 seeded teams in this year’s field given the opportunity to host.

That fact alone, which made official KU’s sixth-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament, was enough for the team that finished in a second-place tie in the Big 12 Conference to feel overjoyed about any opportunity that came its way, regardless of the logistics.

“Obviously, getting the opportunity to play in the tournament at all is amazing and so worth all the hard work,” said sophomore libero Cassie Wait, who twice played state tournament matches at the Expocentre while at Gardner-Edgerton High.

“Playing in Topeka is going to be just as awesome.”

Added Bechard, more concisely: “It’s still a big deal.”

lowed the fortunes of KU’s volleyball team all season.

“What a great year, finishing second,” Self said of coach Ray Bechard’s squad, which shrugged off an 0-3 start to claim a 10-6 record and share of second place in the Big 12.

The Jayhawks (22-8) will play host to firstand second-round NCAA games this weekend, but at the Topeka Expocentre. KU will meet Arkansas-Little Rock in a first-round NCAA game at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Expocentre (KU plays Florida in men’s basketball at 8 p.m. in Allen).

If KU beats UALR, it would meet either Oregon State or Creighton at 6:30 p.m. Saturday for a trip to the Iowa State regional Dec. 12-13 in Ames, Iowa.

“We kind of screwed it up as far as hosting because of our Florida game.

The fieldhouse wasn’t available,” Self said of the basketball team occupying Allen. “I’m sure a ton of people will show up to support the girls over there. They certainly have had a great season, and everybody’s excited about the NCAAs.”

and get our kids to understand that we have to make a bigger and more meaningful commitment to working hard and buying in.”

Along with Pope, the Lions hope to get consistent play from sophomore shooting guard Skylar Drum, who started a few games last year, and senior forward Matia Finley. They also hope freshman guard E’lease Stafford can help the team improve from last season’s 6-15 record.

“Our kids went from normally doing little to nothing in the summer to going to several team camps and working four to five days a week to improve our fundamental skills and come together as a program,” Dickson said.

“We had great leadership from senior Marissa Pope, and although we didn’t win many games this summer, we did get out and compete and work.”

The Lions will face Emporia in their season opener at 5:30 p.m. Friday at LHS.

Boys swimming Lawrence’s boys swimming and diving team doesn’t have many seniors, but ninth-year coach Kent McDonald hopes to see big strides from his team this season.

The Lions, who finished eighth in the Sunflower League and 16th at state last year, return depth with swimmers Chase Odgers, Patrick Oblon, Ellis Springe, Hunter Boehle, Guillermo Hernandez, Jared Miller, Matt Ramaley and Jack Ryan, along with diver Izaiah Bowie.

“We have some new swimmers who will have an immediate impact, and our returners should continue to improve and place well for us,” McDonald said. “We should do better than last year, with more swimmers and divers contributing to the team.”

Some of those newcomers expected to contribute include Alex Heckman, Stephen Johnson and Isaac Springe.

What’s going to be the biggest challenge for the Lions early in the year?

“Getting our swimmers into shape while learning good swimming technique,” McDonald said.

LHS opens the year at 3:30 p.m. today at the Free State quadrangular.

Wrestling It’s not necessarily a rebuilding year, but Lawrence High’s wrestling team will have a ton of youth in its lineup this season.

After taking fifth in the Sunflower League and 10th at state, the Lions still have plenty of star power, with four state qualifiers: Alan Clothier, Cy Burghart, Jhon Jacob and Tucker Wilson.

Clothier is the defending state champion at 182 pounds, finishing last season with a 30-1 record.

Overall, LHS returns 12 wrestlers from last year and brings in 17 newcomers. There are several freshmen who will have a chance to earn a regular spot in the team’s lineup, led by Ben King, Carson Jumping Eagle, Ja’Relle Dye, Ja’Melle Dye, Jay Cheatham and James Cooper.

“It will be a fun and exciting season with all of our youth,” eighth-year coach Pat Naughton said.

LHS starts on Saturday in the Leavenworth tournament at 9 a.m.

will be in meters instead of yards, so Reaney is unsure of what to expect in the three events she will be competing in.

Reaney will swim in the 50-meter breaststroke today, 100-meter breaststroke on Friday and 200-meter breaststroke on Sunday.

“I think I’m going to develop a game plan once I get there,” Reaney said. “For the 50 and 100, I have to be a lot quicker and more aggressive than my 200, which I kind of like to use my strength.”

While Reaney, a Lawrence High product, is looking forward to the chance to represent her country this week, she also has her mind set on making more history with the Fighting Irish. Reaney set the U.S. record in the 200-yard breaststroke at the ACC Championships in February, then bettered that mark at the NCAA Championships in March with a time of 2:04:06.

“I really want to get relays to finals at NCAAs, and I would like to repeat being national champion and maybe add a couple more events to that in the 100 (breaststroke)

KU hit 62 of 86 free throws in Orlando for 72.1 percent (72 vs. Rhode Island, 76.5 vs. UT and 66.7 vs. Michigan State).

On the positive side, the Jayhawks, who were outboarded by Kentucky by five, are now fourth in the league in rebound margin (plus 7.8) after grabbing 22 more rebounds than Tennessee, nine more than Rhode Island and eight more than the Spartans.

“We rebounded the heck out of the ball (in Florida),” Self said.

“Kentucky outrebounded us by five, but it was a bad five. They dominated the glass until late in the game, where we kind of balanced it out. We rebounded well against Santa Barbara (plus 11), very poorly against Rider (plus two). In the tournament ... we did a good job on the glass down there.”

KU is sixth in the league at this early juncture in field-goal-percentage defense (.395) and eighth in three-point fieldgoal-percentage defense (.326). KU was great defensively in the title game against Michigan State, holding the Spartans to 32.2 percent shooting, just 24.2 percent the second half. MSU hit six of 17 threes.

“It was a toughnesstype game. The guys responded great. They played like men for the most part,” Self said.

“Both teams scored fairly easy early. They went on some serious droughts. I thought our defense was pretty good, but we didn’t score either. We made it so hard on ourselves by missing free throws (KU was 18 of 27). We made enough plays to win the game because our defense was pretty good and we rebounded the ball well.”

and (200) IM,” Reaney said, “but we’ll see where we are after this kind of paper meet and go from there.”

The senior season has not quite gone to the script Reaney would have hoped. Notre Dame head women’s swim coach Brian Barnes resigned in September in order to spend more time with his two children. Barnes’ wife Alyssa passed away in 2012 after a long bout with cancer.

Reaney was particularly close to Barnes, as she competed for him as a member of the Lawrence Aquahawks club swim team, but she has been understanding of the coaching change. The transition for Reaney and her teammates has been made somewhat easier since former Notre Dame head men’s swimming l and diving coach Tim Cheers to volleyball: Welsh stepped in as the Self, his assistant coachinterim coach.

“Tim has never coached es and players have folme personally before, but I think this was the bestcase scenario after everything that happened,” Reaney said. “To have someone step in that everyone knew and everyone knew that he would do whatever he could to represent this university in the best way. The passion he had for the sport and the school was really comforting to all of us.”

Cheers to Bowen: Self also attends all KU home football games. He praised the performance of interim football coach Clint Bowen.

“He and his staff did an admirable job, a great job,” Self said. “It would be a difficult position for anybody to come into, to take over the program when everything is set, and now in eight weeks (say), ‘This is how we do things.’ They did a great job in doing that.

“The great thing about Clint is he loves KU. He did a great job. Who knows what the search (for successor to Charlie Weis) will bring? I’m not up to speed on any of that stuff. I know Clint will be very respectful of the search. Whatever happens, happens. He did a really nice job in not the easiest of circumstances to do a job.”

Michigan squeaks by ‘Cuse The Associated Press

Top 25 Men No. 17 Michigan 68, Syracuse 65 Ann Arbor, Mich. — Spike Albrecht rattled in a three-pointer with 31 seconds remaining to put Michigan ahead, and the Wolverines held on to beat Syracuse on Tuesday night.

Albrecht’s shot broke a 63-63 tie after Syracuse (5-2) had rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit. Michigan led 6665 after Michael Gbinije scored inside for the Orange, and Derrick Walton missed the front and of a one-and-one for the Wolverines.

But Syracuse freshman Chris McCullough threw the ball out of bounds with 15 seconds remaining.

No. 3 Arizona 91, Gardner-Webb 65 Tucson, Ariz. — Stanley Johnson and Gabe York each scored 18 points, and Arizona blitzed Gardner-Webb during a 16-0 second-half run to roll over the Bulldogs.

Arizona (7-0) needed to shake out the cobwebs after the holiday break and had to rally from a sluggish start with a big run to end the first half.

No. 5 Louisville 64, No. 14 Ohio State 55 Louisville, Ky. — Terry Rozier made clutch jumpers down the stretch, including a big three-pointer with 46 seconds remaining, to help Louisville survive Ohio State in the ACC/ Big Ten Challenge.

Macaroni and cheese with a nutritious twist

I

got really inspired by the sweet potato fries I made last week, and I’ve been rocking the sweet potatoes ever since. I have to be careful, though, because my sweet potato-hating family will not go for obvious recipes, and I hate most sweet recipes anyway, so I shy away from things that have syrup or marshmallows or other sweeteners.

On Monday night I had a sick kid and not much time to cook, but I wanted to have a nice amount of food in the fridge if I or a sitter was going to have to stay home with him, so a big pan of oven mac and cheese sounded like an easy and appropriate solution. As I started the water boiling, I spied a couple of

The Flying Fork

Megan Stuke sweet potatoes lounging in the produce bowl, and thought “Why not?” I am here to tell you: There is no reason why not. To be honest, I didn’t tell anyone it was in there, and no one noticed. So yeah, here’s a way to hide some vitamins and fiber in that gooey mac and cheese and then we all feel a little better about the whole thing.

Hidden Sweet Potato Mac and Cheese

1 box elbow macaroni 1 large block cheddar cheese, cut into cubes (about 2 cups) 1 cup other cheese (I used mozzarella) 1/2 stick butter, cut into cubes 3 eggs 2/3 cup milk 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced salt and pepper Boil and drain your macaroni. I reserved the hot water and boiled the sweet potatoes in it. Cut your cheese into 1 1/2 inch cubes and set aside.

When the the sweet potato pieces are cooked through, mash them with

bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour it into the potato/cheese/noodle mixture, and salt and pepper fairly liberally.

Move it all to a 9 x 13 casserole pan and bake at 350 until it’s melty and a little brown and crispy on top, about 25 minutes.

Check out 10 ideas for easy-to-prepare holiday snacks

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

Nobody is going to blame you if your holiday party spread includes a bowl of mixed nuts, some grapes and a wedge or two of cheese. After all, most people enjoy them and are willing to nibble mindlessly on them. But it is easier than you think to elevate your feast by bolstering those tired party snack cliches with a few more creative offerings.

You won’t need to work very hard at this.

Most holiday party snacks can be assembled in less than 10 minutes, and many can be assembled ahead of time. And the only truly important rule is to make sure everything is neat and easy to eat (one-handing it really is best for party food).

To help get your party started, we’ve assembled some of our favorite snack ideas. We’ve even given you a way to jazz up your basic bowl of mixed nuts.

Spiced nuts

Beat 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon of water until frothy. Add 3 cups of your favorite unsalted nuts and toss to coat. In another bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss the sugar mixture with the nuts and spread on a rimmed baking sheet lined with kitchen parchment. Bake at 350 F until fragrant and dry.

Marinated olives

Whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, the zest of 1 orange, 2 minced cloves garlic and 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh rosemary. Toss with 2 cups mixed pitted olives. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for at least 4 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Honeyed goat cheese

Set an 8-ounce log of soft goat cheese on a serving plate. Drizzle the cheese liberally with honey, then sprinkle with toasted pecans, chopped fresh tarragon, grated lemon zest and ground black pepper. Serve with crackers or sliced baguette.

dates and 2 thinly sliced scallions. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Avocado shrimp cocktail

In a food processor, combine the flesh of 3 avocados with 1/2 cup cocktail sauce, 2 tablespoons horseradish, the juice of 1 lime, a splash of hot sauce and a bit of salt and pepper. Process until smooth, then transfer to a serving bowl. Top with sliced scallions and serve with cooked, chilled shrimp.

Candied kielbasa bites

Slice 1 pound of kielbasa into thin ovals. Arrange in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 cup brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Sprinkle evenly over the kielbasa. Bake at 350 F until the Marinated Mozzarella with Anchovy and Peanuts slices are golden brown and the sugar is bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Smashed lemon cannellini beans

Drain and rinse a 15-ounce can of cannellini beans.

Pat dry with paper towels, then spread on a dinner plate. Roughly smash the beans with a fork or potato masher. Drizzle all over with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with grated lemon zest, chopped fresh oregano, coarse sea salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. Serve with toasted pita chips.

Marinated mozzarella with anchovy and peanuts

Mash 3 anchovies with a fork in a medium bowl.

Add 1/2 cup good olive oil, 1 pound cubed, drained fresh mozzarella, a pinch of red pepper flakes, 2 cloves grated garlic, 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves, and 1/2 cup lightly chopped unsalted peanuts.

Serve with bread for scooping.

Sweet and spicy cracker bark

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer covering the entire baking sheet. In a Apricot prosciutto beans medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 Spread a half slice of prosciutto very thinly with cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cayapricot preserves. Wrap the prosciutto around enne (more or less to taste), 1/2 teaspoon pumpseveral haricot verts (thin French green beans) and kin pie spice blend, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a thin strip of roasted red pepper. Make a dozen or 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Bring to a simso bundles in this fashion, then stack on a serving mer and stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the tray. Sprinkle with ground black pepper. crackers, spreading until the crackers are evenly covered. Bake at 350 F until golden brown and Bacon-date cream cheese dip bubbling, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the top with Beat an 8-ounce block of cream cheese with 2 1/2 cup crumbled crisp-cooked bacon and 1/4 cup tablespoons of milk until light and fluffy. Stir in 1/2 toasted sunflower seeds. Allow to cool completely, cup crumbled well-cooked bacon, 1/2 cup chopped then break into bite-sized pieces.

Ease back into the kitchen with a simple curry in the slow cooker

M

y kitchen got some pretty heavy use over the holiday — before, during and after the holiday. Honestly, we needed to take a break from each other. The feeling was mutual (my poor oven).

To ease back into the kitchen, it seems only right to use my slow cooker. Easy for me. Easy for everything that’s still recovering from serving 10 people less than a week ago.

As you may have gathered by now, I’m a pretty big curry person.

I’m also huge on eating seasonally, which is why almost everything you see in this space during the colder months tends to include some

ing pie. Not making it.

We tend to eat this alone with some Wheatfields bread or nothing at all, though feel free to go all traditional and have it over rice.

Savory Butternut Squash Slow Cooker Curry

I’ve made a few different butternut squash curries in my slow cooker this season and this one is by far my fa-

Sarah Henning/Special to the Journal-World

Savory Butternut Squash Slow Cooker Curry vorite. I love the depth of flavor from the onion, garlic, chili paste and curry. And I love the simplicity: The hardest

thing about it is peeling and chopping up the squash (seriously), but then everything else is as easy as pie. Well, eat-

1 large butternut squash, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 to 6 cups) 1 red onion, chopped 2 to 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon minced or pureed fresh ginger 1 tablespoon Thai green curry paste 4 teaspoons Thai red chili paste

oil

2 tablespoons coconut

1 14-ounce can coconut milk 2 teaspoons coconut sugar or brown sugar 1 cup boiling water Lime juice (to taste) In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add red onion, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 3 minutes, until onion is soft.

Add curry and chili pastes and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

Stir in coconut milk.

Transfer everything in the skillet into a slow cooker. Add in butternut squash, sugar, boiling water and a generous squeeze of lime juice.

Turn on slow cooker and cook on high for three hours or low for six hours.

Serves four.

Hankering for comfort food? Consider the knish

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

If you’re looking for some cold weather comfort food, you might want to consider the knish.

Though there are many variations of the knish, they essentially are the hand pie of classic Jewish cuisine — a baked (though sometimes fried) light pastry dough filled with mashed vegetables (often potatoes) or meat. They started as peasant food, later became a 19th century street cart convenience food, and now are a staple of Jewish delis.

They can be hard to find if you don’t live in a larger city. But whether or not you’re Jewish, consider making some this winter. They are warm and filling and truly satis- Potato Knishes fying in that way that only carb-heavy food can be.

FARM FRESH $AVING$

Potato Knishes

Start to finish: 2 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 16 3 eggs, divided 6 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, divided 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon cider vinegar Kosher salt 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 large yellow onions, diced 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme Ground black pepper In a large bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the water, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the flour and knead together to form a smooth dough.

Divide the dough in 2 and wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Simmer until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly, then transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl. Mash the potatoes until mostly smooth. Set aside.

In a medium skillet over medium-high, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons of oil. Add the onions and cook until tender and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir the onions into the potatoes, along with the thyme. Season with salt and black pepper.

Heat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment.

Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll and stretch each piece until it is a long strip about 6 inches wide and 16 inches long.

Spoon half of the potato filling mixture down the middle of each strip of dough, using your hands to smooth the mixture into an even mound.

Dip your fingers in water and moisten the edges of the dough, then wrap both sides of the dough up and over the potato filling.

Slice each piece of dough, which now should resemble filled tubes, into 8 pieces. Turn each piece onto its side and use the palm of your hand to flatten slightly. Working in batches of 8, arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water until foamy.

Brush a bit of the egg mixture over each knish. Bake for 30 minutes, or until deep golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Veteran unsatisfied with work after discharge Dear Annie: I am a 23-year-old man. I served in the army and deployed to Afghanistan. I was medically discharged for PTSD about two years ago.

I’m currently going to school to be a firefighter, but I’m afraid I’ve picked this field not because it interests me, but because I cannot go back into the military.

I’m working in an office now, and I hate my job. Before this, I worked at a department store and as a machinist. But, Annie, I can’t see myself anywhere but with the military.

What should I do? — Lost Soldier Dear Lost: Those who have been in the military sometimes have difficulty accepting a job that is less exciting or challenging.

The intensity of the military experience and

PBS relates Armstrong’s acts of valor What makes a hero? Hemingway spoke of courage as “grace under pressure,” the ability to act and react under trying, even life-threatening circumstances.

These qualities come to mind when discussing astronaut Neil Armstrong, profiled on “First Man on the Moon” on “NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

It’s common knowledge that Armstrong was the first American to walk on the lunar surface. Less well-known is his long history of quick thinking and level-headedness that resulted in numerous near-misses during his flying career.

Trained as an engineer as well as a pilot, Armstrong had an intimate knowledge of what his aircraft could, and could not, do.

After losing part of his jet’s wing over hostile North Korean skies, he nursed it back to the vicinity of his carrier before bailing out. As a test pilot, his X-15 rocket plane lost control at the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere, but Armstrong knew how to calm it down. He sensed when to abort his Gemini 8 mission after rockets malfunctioned, and he barely escaped death when rehearsing for the Apollo mission aboard an awkward rocket-propelled training vehicle known as the “flying bedstead.” He parachuted to safety only seconds before his vehicle exploded. He proceeded to dust himself off and go back to work.

These experiences prepared him for the tricky Apollo 11 landing, beset with communication breakdowns and a malfunctioning computer. When Armstrong took control and planted the buglike lunar module on the Sea of Tranquility, its fuel supply was only seconds removed from empty.

Arguably, Armstrong’s greatest act of valor came in the decades after Apollo, when he steadfastly refused to exploit his hero status, grandstand or sell out.

been a widower for almost three years. For the past six months, I’ve been seeing a nice lady for a friendly relationship. She also lost her spouse several years ago.

My lady friend and I have dined out a few times, and she has questioned why I still wear my wedding ring.

Annie, my wife was my only love. We were together more than 60 years. I will never love anyone like that again.

Is it right for me to wear my wedding ring? Or if I am seeing someone, should I put it away? My friend says she is uncomfortable when I have it on. I care about this woman, so please tell me what I should do. — Widower Out East Dear Widower: You actually have two issues: How long should

you wear your wedding ring once you have begun dating again, and is a casual girlfriend of six months entitled to tell you to remove it?

Wearing your wedding ring gives the impression that you are still connected to your first wife and not ready to move on.

Nonetheless, wearing it is your decision, not your girlfriend’s.

Widows often remove a wedding band and wear it on their other hand or have it refashioned into a necklace or other piece of jewelry, allowing them to continue wearing it in a less prominent location. You might consider this when you are ready.
