Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration announced plans Tuesday to fill a $280 million shortfall in the current fiscal year’s budget, but officials insisted the cuts will not affect K-12 education, higher education or public safety.

Brownback But those cuts will do nothing to address the additional $436 million shortfall projected for the fiscal year that begins July 1. That job will fall to the Kansas Legislature, which convenes Jan. 12 for the start of the 2015 session.

To address longer-term funding issues, budget director Shawn Sullivan said the state will need to consider “structural reforms” to the Please see BUDGET, page 8A

State has spiraled from eighth in 1991 to 27th now

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Kansas continued to rank as the 27th healthiest state in the nation in 2014, according to the latest America’s Health Rankings from the United Health Foundation.

That’s the same position Kansas held last year, but it’s down sharply from its eighth place slot in 1991, a decline HEALTH that authors said is largely due to the state’s high rate of obesity and smoking and its low rate of childhood and adolescent immunizations.

Surprise payment made on Rock Chalk Park fees

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday unexpectedly paid more than $1 million in disputed bills on the Rock Chalk Park project and did not provide any notice on its agenda that it was making the controversial payment.

Commissioners as part of their consent agenda agreed to make the final infrastructure payment to RCP, LLC. The $1.09 million payment consisted of legal fees, interest costs and other “soft costs” that a development group led

by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel was seeking to be reimbursed for as part of the Rock Chalk project.

At a Nov. 18 meeting,

The $58 million is the largest gift in KU’s “Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas” and helped the drive reach its goal of raising $1.2 billion dollars, Gray-Little said. When KU publicly announced Far Above in 2012, alumni and university friends had already committed $612 million to date since 2008.

Even though the goal has been reached, Gray-Little said the fundraising will

and one of the authors of the report, said the trends are the result of Kansas getting less healthy in some areas and improving more slowly than other states in other areas.

“It’s probably a combination of all, but what some of Kansas’ strengths are, we have a very low rate of drug deaths,” Sun said. “On the environmental side, we have a high rate of high school graduations.”

But the report said Kansas has failed to keep pace with improvements that other states have made over the last 25 years.

Since the first ranking was made in 1990, infant mortality in Kansas has fallen 32 percent, to 6.3 deaths per 1,000 births.

But it has fallen 41 percent nationally.

Also, deaths by violent crime have gone down only 2 percent in Kansas, compared with a 37 percent decline nationally.

“These aren’t just numbers. The decline in rankings represents real Kansans — children, parents

“

These aren’t just numbers. The decline in rankings represents real Kansans — children, parents and grandparents — who are sick and dying prematurely from preventable diseases. We can and we must reverse this downward trend, because all Kansans deserve the opportunity to live a full, healthy life.”

— Dr. Jeff Willett, vice president for programs at the Kansas Health Foundation

and grandparents — who are sick and dying prematurely from preventable diseases,” said Dr. Jeff Willett, vice president for programs at the Kansas Health Foundation, a partner in the annual study. “We can and we must reverse this downward trend, because all Kansans deserve the opportunity to live a full, healthy life.”

The report also noted that Kansas has made little progress in the last 25 years to reduce the rate of adult smoking. Kansas had only the eighth lowest rate of adult smoking in 1991. But other states have done considerably more than Kansas to reduce smoking, and Kansas now ranks 31st in that category.

Willett said that corresponds to similar declines in Kansas’ rankings for cancer deaths, cardiovascular disease deaths and other premature deaths.

“The best thing we can do to improve the health of the state in the short term is to significantly reduce smoking,” Willett said.

The Kansas Health Foundation is a nonprofit organization that helps fund community-based health initiatives around the state. It started with a $200 million endowment that resulted when nonprofit Wesley Hospital in Wichita was sold to a forprofit corporation.

In addition to reducing smoking rates, Willett also said the state of Kansas should invest more in

commissioners questioned whether some of those fees were appropriate and directed staff to prepare a report on the fees before they were to be paid. City Manager David Corl- Corliss iss did prepare a memo on the costs, and the report found that Fritzel’s firm was seeking about $157,000 in fees that the city found inappropriate.

Members of the public, though, likely had no idea of the findings. That’s because Corliss took the unusual step of sending the report directly to commissioners rather than making the report a part of the commission’s agenda packet. Normal city prac-

tice is that reports on items that require a vote of the commission are included in the agenda packet, which is widely available to the public and closely watched by the media.

Instead, Corliss placed the latest infrastructure report on a single section of the city’s website. Corliss said his office did not make any effort to notify the public or the press that the report had been completed.

After the meeting, Mayor Mike Amyx took responsibility for the issue.

“I obviously messed up and didn’t get it on there,” said Amyx, who has been a critic of the Rock Chalk Park process.

The ranking system uses data from multiple sources to measure the overall health of each state. Those include broad categories that influence health: behaviors; community and environment; policy and clinical care.

The study also looks at data on various health outcomes such as death rates from cancer and other diseases as well as the average number of days workers miss due to poor physical or mental health.

Overall, Kansas has slipped in 19 of the 30 factors examined in the study since 1991.

Court will go paperless starting in January

Pick me! Pick me!

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Beginning Jan 5., all attorneys practicing in the Douglas County District Court will have to go paperless when submitting documents to the court clerk’s office by using an electronic filing system, Douglas County District Court Clerk Douglas Hamilton said.

In November, Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild became the first in the state to order that all court documents be filed electronically, Hamilton said.

The mandate doesn’t take effect until next month, Fairchild but the electronic filing system has been around for nearly two years.

Douglas County first implemented the electronic court document filing system called E-Flex in March 2013 when the county became one of five pilot district courts in the state to get the program.

Since E-Flex’s inception in Douglas County, Hamilton said only about 10 attorneys have been using the system regularly.

Lucas Slater, student, Lawrence “Definitely — that would be amazing.”

Gabrielle Wheeler, student, Lawrence “Yes, definitely.”

Minneapolis — A man accused of fatally hitting a Muslim teenager with his car last week in what’s being investigated as a possible hate crime had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, committed to a hospital and sometimes stopped taking his medications, according to court records and his family.

Ahmed H. Aden, 34, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 15-year-old Abdisamad Sheikh-Hussein, whose legs were nearly severed when an SUV hit him Thursday in Kansas City, Mo. Aden initially said he lost control of the vehicle but later said he thought the teen was someone who had threatened him, investigators said.

The FBI won’t disclose why it is investigating the crash as a possible hate crime, but the teen was Muslim and Aden’s vehicle had anti-Muslim statements written on a window. However, Aden’s mother, Hawo Abdullahi of Minneapolis, said her son also was Muslim and, like the victim, was Somali.

Monday, the same day her son appeared in court.

She expressed condolences to Sheikh-Hussein’s family, saying she wished she could have helped her son.

“All I can say to you is, I tried (to help) my son, I tried a couple of times to get him admitted to the hospital because he was mentally sick. But I wasn’t there. If I were there, this would not have happened,” she said.

“I would get him into the hospital.”

When asked about claims Aden was mentally ill, a spokesman for the Jackson County prosecutor said the office does not comment on ongoing investigations. A message left for Sheikh-Hussein’s aunt was not immediately returned.

staff to begin working on a process to bring together developers, business owners, neighborhood residents and other key stakeholders to talk about a possible change in public parking to accommodate a plan by Lawrencebased Checkers to build a grocery store at the corner.

“I just want to encourage everyone to come to the table with an open mind,” City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer said.

Checkers officials are asking the city to allow 18 public parking spaces on Massachusetts Street to be used exclusively by the new grocery store, which would be part of a larger seven-story building that would include apartments and offices.

The development also wants to use 16 public spaces along Massachusetts Street that would be

It is a puzzle, and it is going to take a community effort to solve it.”

— J.R. Lewis, member of Checkers’ proposal team built as part of the project. The project would be on the northeast corner of 11th and Massachusetts streets on the Allen Press property. Part of the site would include a parking garage, but grocery officials have said they’ll need all the parking they can get to make the project feasible.

“It is a puzzle, and it is going to take a community effort to solve it,” J.R. Lewis with Checkers told commissioners. “One of the big pieces is the parking.”

But the idea allowing one business exclusive use of 18 spaces on Massachusetts Street has struck a nerve with other business owners.

“They are asking for about 60 percent of the parking on that side of the street,” said Brad Ziegler, who owns Louise’s bar,

proposal from the Michigan-based ownership group of the building had been unsuccessful. He said Checkers was more comfortable working with the local development at 11th and Massachusetts, which is led by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton, Rand Allen and Mike Treanor.

Commissioners said they wanted all businesses and neighbors to rest assured that they would have plenty of opportunities to discuss the project.

But Mayor Mike Amyx said he thought it was appropriate to try to tackle the parking issue early on in the process because it likely would be a key determinant in whether the grocery store project could proceed.

“But we’re extremely early in the process,” Amyx said. “Believe me, we are going to include everybody in that area in the process going forward.”

A man who was taken by air ambulance to Kansas University Hospital Monday night after being struck by a vehicle near Ninth Street and Emery Road remained in critical condition Tuesday, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

Lawrence police responded to a call of a single car vs. pedestrian accident in the 1500 block of Ninth Street around 7:45 p.m. Monday.

After arriving, first responders located the pedestrian’s injuries and requested Life Star transportation, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical spokesperson Justin Temple said Monday.

McKinley said he would release the names of the driver and victim when they become available.

Senate probe catalogs CIA brutality against detainees

By Bradley Klapper and Ken Dilanian

“

We gave up much in the Associated Press expectation that torture would make us safer. Too Washington — The much.”

United States brutalized scores of terror suspects with interrogation tactics that turned secret CIA prisons into chambers of suffering and did nothing to make America safer after the 9/11 attacks, Senate investigators concluded Tuesday.

The Senate Intelligence Committee’s torture report, years in the making, accused the CIA of misleading its political masters about what it was doing with its “black site” captives and deceiving the nation about the effectiveness of its techniques.

The report was the first public accounting of tactics employed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and it described far harsher actions than had been widely known.

Tactics included confinement to small boxes, weeks of sleep deprivation, simulated drowning, slapping and slamming, and threats to kill, harm or sexually abuse families of the captives.

The report produced revulsion among many, challenges to its veracity among some lawmakers and a sharp debate about whether it should have been released at all.

GOP Sen. John McCain, tortured in Vietnam as a prisoner of war, was out of step with some fellow Republicans in welcoming the report and endorsing its findings.

“We gave up much in the expectation that torture would make us safer,” he said in a Senate speech.

“Too much.”

Five hundred pages were released, represent-

— Sen. John McCain ing the executive summary and conclusions of a still-classified 6,700-page full investigation.

President Barack Obama declared some of the past practices to be “brutal, and as I’ve said before, constituted torture in my mind. And that’s not who we are,” he told the Spanish-language TV network Telemundo in an interview.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the Democratic committee chairman whose staff prepared the summary, branded the findings a stain on the nation’s history.

“Under any common meaning of the term, CIA detainees were tortured,” she declared, commanding the Senate floor for an extended accounting of the techniques identified in the investigation.

The report catalogued the use of ice baths, death threats, shackling in the cold and much more.

Three detainees faced the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding. Many developed psychological problems.

But the “enhanced interrogation techniques” didn’t produce the results that really mattered, the report asserts in its most controversial conclusion.

It cites CIA cables, emails and interview transcripts to rebut the central justification for torture — that it thwarted terror plots and saved American lives.

In a statement, CIA Di-

rector John Brennan said the agency made mistakes and has learned from them.

But he also asserted the coercive techniques “did produce intelligence that helped thwart attack plans, capture terrorists and save lives.”

George Tenet, who was CIA director at the time, said in an interview: “We know that the program led to the capture of al-Qaida leaders and took them off the battlefield, that it prevented mass casualty attacks and that it saved thousands of American lives.”

Top Republicans, including Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, agreed. But not Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada, the Senate majority leader.

He said, “It got us nothing except a bad name.”

The report, released after months of negotiations with the administration about what should be censored, was issued as U.S. embassies and military sites worldwide fortified security in case of an antiAmerican backlash.

Earlier this year, Feinstein accused the CIA of infiltrating Senate computer systems in a dispute over documents as relations between the investigators and the spy agency deteriorated, the issue still sensitive years after Obama ordered a halt to any such interrogation practices upon taking office.

SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN, D-CALIF., chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, leaves the chamber after releasing a report on the CIA’s harsh interrogation techniques at secret overseas facilities after the 9/11 terror attacks, at the Capitol in Washington Tuesday.

Feinstein branded the findings a “stain on the nation’s history.”

Key findings from report on CIA interrogations Washington (ap) — Major findings from the newly released summary of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report on the CIA’s detention and interrogation program: l Enhanced interrogation techniques used on terror detainees, including simulated drowning and sleep deprivation, were ineffective in gaining intelligence leads that led to important operations against terrorist groups or prevented attacks on the U.S. l The prison conditions and harsh interrogations of detainees were more brutal than the CIA officials acknowledged to the American public and in contacts with Congress and the White House.

The simulated drowning technique of waterboarding was “physically harmful,”

Obama health adviser apologizes for ‘glib’ remarks

By Charles Babington Associated Press

Washington — MIT economist Jonathan Gruber — an often-quoted adviser on the president’s health care law — told Congress on Tuesday he was glib and “inexcusably arrogant” when he said it was “the stupidity of the American voter” that led to the law’s passage.

Democrats tried to limit the damage as Gruber Republicans raked Gruber at a four-hour hearing, but acknowledged he gave the GOP a political gift “wrapped in a bow.”

Gruber told groups in 2012 and 2013 that voter stupidity and a “lack of transparency” were important to

passing the hard-fought legislation. Appearing before the House Oversight committee Tuesday, Gruber expanded on earlier apologies, repeatedly saying “I was conjecturing in areas beyond my expertise.”

Enduring one fierce lecture after another, Gruber said his earlier comments were uninformed, “glib, thoughtless and sometimes downright insulting.” He said he was showing off before various groups, and “trying to be something, I’m not, which was a political expert.”

He said the law’s passage was actually transparent and heavily debated in public, despite his earlier comments. And Gruber said he

was not the “architect” of the law, as some press accounts had claimed.

But Republican Committee Chairman Darrell Issa of California called Gruber a crucial player in the legislation. Issa grilled Gruber repeatedly in what might be his last committee probe of what he calls “Obamacare.” Republican term limits will force Issa — whose bare-knuckled attacks on administration programs sometimes annoy GOP leaders — to surrender the committee chairmanship in the next Congress.

Issa and other Republicans sarcastically praised Gruber for “telling the truth” in his 2012 and 2013 remarks, while also hammering his efforts Tuesday to walk them back.

Washington — Only a fraction of campus sexual assault victims go to police.

Senators on Tuesday grappled with the thorny issue of why some just let their college handle it — or don’t report it at all.

Some sexual assault victims have said they prefer to work within their university system to seek disciplinary action against the perpetrator, such as expulsion, without the stress of pressing criminal charges. But there have been complaints that universities have encouraged victims not to seek criminal action because they want to protect the university’s reputation or that schools aren’t prepared to adequately adjudicate such cases.

“I am concerned that law enforcement is being mar-

“

I am concerned that law enforcement is being marginalized when it comes to the crime of campus sexual assault.”

— Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I. ginalized when it comes to the crime of campus sexual assault,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., the subcommittee chairman, at a hearing on the issue. “I’m concerned that the specter of flawed law enforcement overshadows the harm of marginalized law enforcement.”

The hearing, focused on the relationship between police departments and campuses, comes following a high-profile Rolling Stone article that described a gang rape alleged to have oc-

curred in a fraternity house at the University of Virginia. The magazine later acknowledged mistakes in its reporting.

In many cases, victims aren’t told they can pursue a criminal case, testified Peg Langhammer, executive director of the Day One organization in Providence, R.I. Whitehouse said victims are victimized again if they are steered away from law enforcement based on uninformed choices. Whitehouse, a former U.S. attorney and attorney general in his home state, said evidence shows that most men who commit these crimes are serial offenders — and a threat to public safety. He said students have a right to know that delays opening an investigation and collecting evidence, which could make the case difficult to prove later.

inaccurate information to congressional leaders and at one point under-counted the number of terror detainees who were subjected to harsh treatment under questioning. l Much of the information that the CIA provided to the media about its interrogation and detentions program was inaccurate, preventing clear scrutiny of detainees’ treatment. l The CIA’s reliance on harsh interrogations complicated the national security missions of other federal agencies. The FBI abandoned its traditional role in interrogations as the CIA began to rely on harsh methods. And the CIA often resisted efforts by the agency’s inspector general to investigate the use of harsh interrogations and conditions in black sites.

Language barrier Local police shouldn’t allow language barriers to hamper important investigations.

D

ealing with non-English speakers should be part of the job for the Lawrence Police Department, and it’s disappointing to hear from a police spokesman that the investigation of a local murder has been “complicated by a language barrier.”

The language issue was noted by Sgt. Trent McKinley last week when discussing the murder of 19-year-old Justina Altamirano Mosso at a Lawrence apartment complex. Although the murder occurred a month ago, police have not detained a suspect in the case. The Mosso case is the ninth homicide recorded in Lawrence since July 2013 and the only one that hasn’t been cleared by police investigators.

One delaying factor in the Mosso investigation, McKinley said, has been the fact that many of the people police need to speak to about the murder don’t speak English. The Lawrence police department has very few investigators who speak Spanish fluently, McKinley said, but, “Despite this challenge and others, we continue to make progress in the investigation.”

It’s not clear how big a “challenge” the language barrier has been in this case, but the fact is, it should have no significant impact on how quickly police investigate any case. Especially with the resources available in a university town, police should be prepared to handle any language issues that come their way. The department should have an up-to-date database of qualified interpreters for a wide variety of languages.

A woman was killed. She deserves justice even though many of the people associated with her, perhaps including some possible suspects, don’t speak English. It’s simply not acceptable that this investigation has been slowed, and perhaps hampered, by a language barrier that local police should have been prepared to handle.

College not just about earning power The other morning I was having coffee downtown after my usual early walk and happened to sit down next to two men who were discussing the present state of college education in the U.S. One fellow said that he had read that 70 percent of college graduates have made a bad investment decision, that had they invested the cost of their college degrees in the stock market or other reasonable investment vehicle, they would have been far better off over the long term. I listened quietly since I am not in the habit of intruding into other people’s conversations, but I couldn’t help thinking that they really didn’t understand what a college education is all about.

Going to college is not simply about getting a high-paying job when you graduate. To believe this is to reduce colleges and universities to simple vocational schools. There is nothing wrong with vocational schools. It is just that colleges and universities are not solely about be-

ing trained to enter the job market. The modern college and university are designed to provide students a rich learning environ-

ment in which students not only can learn technical skills that will serve them in their later professions, but also how to express themselves fluently both orally and in writing and to think critically against a broad background of knowledge of multiple subjects spread across the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities.

Colleges and universities also provide a place where many students live away from home and with their peers for the first time, an experience that helps them to mature into adults. Faculty are there not simply to lecture but also to provide guidance and as role models for their students. In short, a four-year college or university is intended to provide a holistic learning environment in which students gain perspectives on the world around them, learn to live for the first time as independent adults and to prepare themselves not simply for careers but for rich, satisfying lives.

In describing the purposes of the college experience

as I do, I am not pretending that all students make the most of their time at college nor am I defending what has become the prohibitive cost of getting a four-year college degree. And I also do not blame people for thinking that the primary purpose of a college degree is vocational. Colleges and universities have done much to foster this narrow view of their missions by responding to legislative pressure to be accountable solely in vocational terms and by fostering the view that a four-year degree is a “good investment.”

The fact is that a college education is a “good investment” for many students but defined much more broadly than solely in economic terms. A college education is an education for life. It is an education that should make better adults of its graduates, better in every way, not just in earning power.

Humble opinion To the editor: In your article of Dec. 6, “Stegall joins Supreme Court,” I was taken by the following quote from U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren about Stegall: “He is smart, smart as a whip — so smart as to humble the rest of us …”

I hope more importantly that Justice Stegall is also humble. I believe arrogance does not befit a person who is charged with judging others. Competent and confident, yes. Knowledgeable and smart, absolutely. However, justice administered egocentrically absent an understanding of the vagaries and complexities of our human condition serves justice poorly. I make this comment with no malice, political agenda or application toward either judge as I have no acquaintance with either and assume innocence of the charge, unless evidence proves me wrong.

Home invasion To the editor: “Because all this is like my living room.” It was 9 in the morning, a couple of years ago. I was standing in a field not far from my house and explaining to the polite young hunter from Mississippi, who’d just helped me free my coon hound/rescue dog from a night with his foot crushed in a coyote trap (they weren’t his traps), why I don’t hunt, even though I own a nice wooded 40-acre hunting spot and let another man hunt there for free.

The night before, I’d walked a couple of hours, around midnight in a 35-degree drizzle, looking for CJ after he hadn’t come home from our everyday afternoon walk. I never found him that night. Slam your fingers in a car door, lock it, throw away the keys and stand there for 12 hours. Maybe every trapper should have to try that before they’re issued a license. Running baited trap lines a few hundred yards from homes is legal.

My five boys live for their daily walk

and I do, too, but I’ve never been able to put all of them on leashes or always keep them on my property, but wish I could.

“It’d be kinda like me walking through my living room and having some guy from town step out from behind the sofa and shoot an arrow through my gut,” I told the polite hunter.

It happened again last week, for the third time, actually. My CJ, the coon dog with the annoying bark, spent the night in what he considers his living room, with his foot smashed in a steel trap.

Safe sledding To the editor: Since it is getting colder, it is time to think about winter activities. There should be a safe place to sled, ski and snowboard in Lawrence. Many kids like to sled down Lawrence’s hilly streets, but that is not entirely safe and it seems like the streets get plowed quickly before we get a chance to sled.

Also, the few places with a steep slope have dangerous objects in the way such as trees, lamp posts and other people walking. Every year I hear about someone getting injured from sledding, but a designated sledding park would make it more safe. I don’t want any kids to get hurt sledding, so let’s build a sledding park.

Jack Burrichter, Lawrence

Body camera ban To the editor: The massive public reaction to the tragic deaths of three black teens at the hand of white police officers has led to a national call for use of body cameras to record and prevent any future mistreatment of suspects.

There is ample precedent. Animal protection activists have used body cameras to document egregious atrocities and safety violations by workers in

the meat, dairy and egg industries. The resulting videos have led to a number of corrective actions, as well as felony convictions, meat recalls and even a $500 million civil settlement.

How ironic then that agribusiness interests in seven states (Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota and Utah) have now enacted “ag-gag” laws imposing severe penalties for using body cameras in their agricultural facilities. The language is typically drafted by the anti-consumer American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Let’s hope that other vested interests do not impose similar restrictions on the use of body cameras by law enforcement officers.

Stewart Lubin, Lawrence

Wrong hall To the editor: I was standing in the lobby outside the Lawrence City Commission meeting Dec. 2, when I saw two young women come in the back door and look around as if searching for something. They got to the elevator and stood looking at the plaque that describes which offices are on each floor.

One of the women pushed the “down” button, which would take them to the ground level to the offices of the city engineers, but at 7:30 at night no one would be there.

I moved over to the women and asked, “Are you looking for something?” They said, “The Festival of Trees.” I said, “Oh, that’s at Liberty Hall” and they replied, “Where are we now?” I said, “This is City Hall.” I explained they had to go a block south to get there, and they left.

This was a very unusual incident and it surprised me that they didn’t know much about downtown Lawrence. I trust they learned the difference between City Hall and Liberty Hall, although sometimes City Commission meetings are equal to the entertainment value at Liberty Hall.

Budget

Lawrence) of lying, it’s Sam Brownback who lied to the people of Kansas,” Hensley said in a statement released Tuesday afternoon. “There is no fault to be placed anywhere but on Sam Brownback’s failed economic agenda. He is attempting to balance the budget on the backs of wage earners, public employees and children all for the sake of his income tax cuts for wealthy taxpayers and businesses.”

Rep. Tom Burroughs, D-Kansas City, the new House Democratic leader, echoed that criticism.

“It’s disappointing that it took Governor Brownback only one month to Hensley break every promise he made to the people of Kansas throughout the 2014 campaign,” Burroughs said.

“Instead of offering constructive solutions to fix his failed tax plan, the governor is making destructive cuts to infrastructure, children’s programs and the state pension plan. Unfortunately, this is only the beginning.

He has made his priorities very clear, and there’s no doubt that our public schools will be next on the chopping block.”

But Sullivan said Tuesday that the latest budget estimates included higher than expected increases in two areas, one of which was an additional $63.4 million in “equalization” costs that help fund the local option school budgets, capital outlay expenses, and bond and interest payments for less wealthy school districts.

“That surprised us,” Sullivan said in an interview explaining the allotment cuts.

During the 2014 session, the Kansas Supreme Court ordered the Legislature to increase equalization funding for capital outlay and local option budgets, saying the old formula was unconstitutional because it forced poor districts to either cut programs or levy higher taxes to achieve funding levels comparable to those of wealthy districts.

But the cost of increasing the equalization formula proved to be more costly than anticipated.

“We have got to make structural reforms to the (school finance) formula, and we will be working with legislators to do that,” Sullivan said. “Because we cannot continue to sustain $60 to $80 million of increases year over year to nonclassroom spending to those three categories.”

Sullivan said the administration was also surprised by an additional $46 million in projected Medicaid expenses this year.

The largest of the proposed transfers is $95.7 million out of the state highway fund to the general fund.

school finance formula and additional changes to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System.

But Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, issued a statement saying she was disappointed in how the cuts were made.

“We are still studying the details, but there is no doubt the governor’s announcement has put the Legislature in a difficult position,” Wagle said. “I would have preferred to see the burden spread evenly throughout the state. That would certainly be a more fair approach than picking winners or losers and asking the Legislature to fill the gap.”

The plan unveiled Tuesday calls for, among other things, sweeping $201.5 million out of various other funds into the state general fund, including $95.7 million from the state highway fund, and reducing the state’s KPERS contribution by $40.7 million.

It also calls for cutting $6.9 million, or 4 percent, out of the operational budgets of state agencies for the last six months of the fiscal year.

Sullivan said state agencies have been planning for that possibility since the start of the fiscal year and so the cuts should not result in job losses.

The cuts and fund transfers are the result of the latest budget estimates released in November showing revenues are expected to fall about $280 million short of budgeted expenditures in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30.

By law, the governor is authorized to make direct budget cuts, known as allotments, when the Legislature is not in session if the budget director certifies that without cuts the state would end the fiscal year with a negative balance.

That’s because the Wagle Kansas Constitution requires the state to balance its budget each year.

The shortfall is largely the result of sweeping tax cuts that lawmakers approved in 2012 and 2013. During the recent election campaign, Brownback defended those tax cuts, saying they would spur economic growth, and he rejected suggestions that the cuts would cause huge budget shortfalls that would force cuts in education spending and other programs.

Senate Democratic leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, made note of the governor’s campaign statements and accused Brownback of making false promises in his bid for re-election.

“While accusing his opponent (Rep. Paul Davis, of

Sullivan said that was made possible because the interest rates on bonds issued to fund road projects have come in lower than expected, and the bids on many projects have also come in below projections.

As a result, he said, the sweep will not affect any projects planned under the 10-year highway program known as T-Works.

Other fund sweeps include $55 million in pharmacy rebates from the state’s Medicaid program and $14.5 million from the Kansas Endowment for Youth, or KEY fund, which receives the state’s share of tobacco settlement money, and $500,000 from the Children’s Initiatives Fund.

Money from the KEY fund is typically transferred to the CIF to pay for specialized projects involving children’s health and early-childhood education.

Sullivan said those two sweeps should not affect any of the projects being funded this year. He said the KEY fund received more tobacco money than was expected this year, and the sweep out of the CIF is only a small part of the $55 million that was appropriated this year.

But Christie Appelhanz, vice president of the advocacy group Kansas Action for Children, said she was disappointed by the action.

“Just a few months ago, Gov. Brownback vetoed a transfer of $5 million from the KEY Fund, saying that fund was established specifically for early-childhood programs and should remain available for such purposes in the future,” Appelhanz said. “We’re deeply distressed by the governor’s change of heart.

The current budget crisis is of his own making, and it shouldn’t be paid for by our state’s youngest and most vulnerable children.”

The $40.7 million cut in KPERS contributions means the state will be contributing only 9.5 percent of employees’ salaries into the pension system instead of the 12.12 percent that was budgeted.

Sullivan said the cut in KPERS payments this year is only a short-term fix, and the administration believes there needs to be additional changes to the system.

“That one, I’ll say, is the same as schools. We need to make additional reforms to KPERS,” Sullivan said.

Among the ideas that have been proposed is to convert KPERS to a 401(k)-style defined contribution plan, an idea that employee groups and teachers unions have strongly opposed.

Ginger spice is more than just nice

inger is a spicy root that is small but mighty — not just in size but in both flavor and health benefits.

The pungent cut of its distinct flavor adds kick to everything from candy to stir-fry to, of course, gingerbread. Moreover, it contains powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that can relieve digestion issues and nausea.

ture drink I made for a New Year’s Eve party years ago, but I think I might have improved upon the original.

I started with gingerinfused vodka. Infused vodka, as fancy as it sounds, is not fancy at all. Basically, you put some vodka in a jar and toss in some flavoring.

Then comes the tricky part: wait.

Delicious/ Nutritious

Ginger-Infused Vodka

Delicious I love ginger everything.

I used to go to sushi restaurants just for the ginger salad dressing, before I was brave enough to try raw fish.

(How ridiculously unfortunate those lost opportunities were). I use it in smoothies, stir-fry, soups and even some desserts.

I love ginger ale and ginger beer (the spicier the better) and ginger snap cookies.

Seriously, people, this is a strong affinity we are talking about.

To kick off December, I wanted a festive recipe; something that would incorporate my precious fresh ginger into my holiday merry-making, so I decided on a cocktail.

This is a riff on a signa-

3 cups vodka 1 piece of fresh ginger about the size of your palm Slice the ginger into rounds.

Don’t bother peeling it. Toss it in the vodka, screw on the lid, wait a week.

When it’s properly steeped you can make all manner of cocktails with it. Here is my favorite:

Ginger Vodka Sparkler 2 jiggers ginger-infused vodka 3 ounces ginger beer 1 1/2 ounce cranberry juice Squeeze of fresh lemon juice Twist of lemon peel Handful of fresh cranberries for garnish Pour over ice, stir, garnish and serve.

race-weary stomach.

My husband and son love it too (the baby, of course, has no opinion just yet).

My son will devour ginger cookies, and my husband has been known to throw in way more than is necessary in a stir-fry just because he loves the combination of ginger and garlic so much (smart man).

Ginger has a host of documented health benefits and has been used for centuries to treat nausea, an upset stomach and pain. And these days, it’s so prized for its anti-inflammatory properties that you can buy it in pill form.

And while pills are great, they skimp on the wonderful spicy taste of ginger.

This soup, though, doesn’t miss a delicious, nutritious beat. The ginger mingles with garlic (another anti-inflammation star) and curry powder to liven up sweet carrots and hearty lentils. The final meal is warm, comforting and full of vitamin A, protein, good fat and, of course, ginger’s great benefits.

Ginger is pretty prevalent in my life these days for something I didn’t realize I could buy at the store until I was out of college.

I’ll throw a thumb-size piece into my juicer or blender to give a green drink a kick. I’ll make chai tea out of it. It goes in nearly every stirfry I make, and it’s a regular in many of my baking recipes.

Carrot-Ginger Lentil I’ve also been known to buy the candied version and have Soup it with me during the mara3 tablespoons coconut oil, thons and ultramarathons I run because it can even calm a divided

2 red onions, chopped 1 cup dry red lentils 4 cups water 3 large carrots, peeled and roughly chopped 1 14-ounce can coconut milk 1 teaspoon salt 3 cloves garlic, minced 1.5-inch piece fresh ginger, minced 1 tablespoon curry powder In medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until onions start to brown, about 10 minutes.

Add 4 cups water, lentils, carrots, coconut milk and salt.

Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium heat.

Add garlic, ginger and curry powder. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add to saucepan.

Using a stick blender, blend soup until smooth. (You can also let it cool and use a regular blender.) Taste, and add a bit more salt if desired.

Serves 4.

Wine-braised short ribs prove value of the slow cooker

By Elizabeth Karmel Associated Press

It was a strange confession to make, but I felt I had to fess up. A friend who once ran a large recipe-based website was recently explaining to me that slow cooker recipes are wildly more popular online than conventional recipes. This shocked me.

And I had to be honest with her... Not only did I never use a slow cooker, I didn’t even own one.

Truth is, I love slow cooking, but I’d never done it in a slow cooker. I generally favor cast iron, which lets me brown in the pot on the stovetop, then pop the whole thing in the oven for low and slow heat. But if Americans are so smitten with their slow cookers, maybe there was something I was missing. So I started researching.

The first thing I learned is that today’s slow cookers are a lot different than a genera-

tion ago. Many models now let you brown or saute right inside them.

The saves the annoying step of having to brown meat or vegetables in a skillet on the stove, then transfer them to a slow cooker. That process had always been just enough trouble to turn me off.

So I found a 4-quart slow cooker with a saute feature. That seemed like the perfect combination cooker for me. To test it I made braised short ribs.

This is one of my favorite dishes for entertaining because it can be made in the morning and basically forgotten until dinner is ready, or even made the day before.

Slow Cooker Short Ribs These short ribs are just the thing for easy holiday cooking. They are a snap to make, but taste like you’ve been cooking all day. Serve with noo-

Slow Cooker Short Ribs dles, rice or garlic-cheese grits. I made these in a 4-quart slow cooker, but the recipe can easily be doubled to accommodate a larger cooker. Since not everyone owns a slow cooker that has a saute mode, I wrote the recipe using the more traditional method of browning the meat in a skillet, then transferring everything to the slow cooker. Feel free

to modify for whichever model cooker you own.

Start to finish: 4 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 6 4 pounds boneless beef short ribs Olive oil Kosher salt and ground black pepper 3 large shallots, thinly sliced 1 medium rib celery, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch rounds 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped 2 cups full-bodied red wine, such as cabernet sauvignon, zinfandel or shiraz 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 3 large springs fresh rosemary 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Brush the ribs with a light coating of olive oil, then sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the shallots, celery and carrots and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook until the vegetables begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking until they begin to brown on the edges, another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the meat and turn to brown on all sides.

Transfer the mixture

to a 4-quart or larger slow cooker, being sure to scrape the pan to get all of the liquid. Add the wine, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, mustard and vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for 3 1/2 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours.

After cooking, transfer the short ribs to a large platter. Set aside.

Remove and discard the stems of the rosemary sprigs. Transfer the liquid and vegetables in the slow cooker to a blender and carefully puree until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve the ribs on a bed of noodles, rice, mashed potatoes or cheese grits with sauce ladled over them.

We can’t help it. Once the cooler weather arrives, we crave hot cocoa with the same intensity that we crave a cold beer during barbecue season.

There is, after all, something intensely comforting about drinking a warm mug of nature’s most perfect food — chocolate!

Add a dollop of freshly whipped and lightly sweetened cream and it Coconut-lime hot cocoa doesn’t get much better.

Or maybe it can. To help take our hot cocoa game to the next level, we decided to see how many deliciously fresh ways we could doctor a mug of basic cocoa. Turns out, the possibilities are pretty inspiring (and tempting).

So we picked our top 10 to share. Here are 10 fresh combinations to consider adding to your hot cocoa.

10 Fresh Ways With Hot Cocoa Start with your favorite purchased hot cocoa mix, or make our hot cocoa. For homemade, heat 1 cup of whole milk until steaming.

Sift together 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon sugar. Whisk into the hot milk along with 1/4 cup milk chocolate bits until completely smooth.

Add any of the following and garnish with whipped cream:

Almond praline Use brown sugar in place of the white sugar.

Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract or 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur.

Hazelnut Whisk in 2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella). Add 1 tablespoon Frangelico liqueur, if desired.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mason, Graham play well together Washington — Frank Mason checked back in, and Devonté Graham stayed on the floor with 11:52 remaining and the score tied in a game with Florida that Kansas University won Friday night, 71-65.

The game changed.

The comeback from a deficit that grew as large as 18 points already was well underway, the deficit trimmed to 10 points, but with two small guards on the floor together, the momentum shifted to another speed. Mason and Graham attacked, putting Florida defenders in retreat mode.

The duo also changed the game at the other end, applying defensive pressure that made it tougher for the Gators to hang onto the ball and get into their offensive flow.

By the time Mason sprained his ankle and limped off the court, KU had tied the score with 5:46 left. In that span of 6:06, the Jayhawks had outscored Florida, 15-5. Mason had two steals during the stretch, the smooth-passing Graham one.

“Those guys need to play together some, there’s no question about that,” Self said during his Monday news conference. “We put so much pressure on the defense when those guys were in there together, as opposed to when just one of them was in the game.”

Mason returned for the final three minutes, and Graham stayed out there with him. Graham contributed nine points, three assists and three steals in 13 second-half minutes.

“It’s a confidence booster, knowing that coach trusts me through a stretch like that,” Graham said afterward. “The whole team and coaching staff have confidence in me, so I’m not really low on confidence, but it’s a good confidence-booster being in there at the end of the game like that.”

Next up for Graham, Cliff Alexander, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Kelly Oubre is their first true road game, at 6 p.m. today vs.

Georgetown.

Mason’s activity has been limited by the ankle injury, but he practiced Tuesday and is set to play.

Georgetown’s guards are much bigger than Florida’s, so Self might not want to play Graham and Mason together as much. Then again, depending on how things go, he might want to speed things up or pester Georgetown’s guards by making them battle quickness.

Mason, a 5-foot-11 sophomore, is from Petersburg, Virginia, roughly a two-hour drive from Verizon Center.

The 6-2 Graham is from Raleigh, North Carolina, twice as long a drive. If Self does play them together, it won’t be for the friends and family in the stands. The long (David Padgett) and the short (Conner Frankamp) of it is that Self doesn’t coach to satisfy parents. He coaches to win games.

LHS girls fall to T’wolves ————

Rebounding edge lifts BV Southwest to 57-44 victory

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Mike Gunnoe/Special to the Journal-World

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR MARISSA POPE DRIBBLES at the top of the key against Blue Valley Southwest on Tuesday at Lawrence High.

The Lions lost, 57-44.

Lawrence High’s girls basketball coach Jeff Dickson has told his players it’s going to be a process for them to be successful this season.

Tuesday’s lesson was rebounding.

The Lions gave up 15 offensive rebounds in the first half in a 57-44 loss to Blue Valley Southwest at LHS and never recovered when the Timberwolves converted those offensive boards

into an 11-point halftime lead.

“We talk about it. It’s one of those things where right now we spend a great deal of time on it in practice, but we’re just not getting that game transference from practice to the game,” Dickson said. “It’s a weakness right now. It’s something we can definitely improve on.”

The T’wolves (2-0) only shot 30 percent from the field (16-for-53), but they continued to find ways to get to the charity stripe,

going 23-for-32 at the freethrow line.

“After giving up eight threes (in the season opener), we did not want to give up threes,” Dickson said. “I thought we did a better job of that. We only gave up two. But then that exposed another thing, when they drove, then we wanted to reach and grab, and we got those fouls.”

Blue Valley Southwest went on a 9-0 run, with five points from senior Taylor Westrom, Please see LHS, page 3C

Beaty aware of Kansas’ obstacles “

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

New Kansas University football coach David Beaty knew when he accepted the job that the upcoming season could present enormous challenges.

From the obvious transi-

tion period that often brings trouble to inheriting a roster short on numbers and a group of players who lack experience and know nothing about consistent success, Beaty is aware of the obstacles he’ll face in his first season as a college head coach, and he’s not afraid to admit it.

“Listen, I know there’s some tough times ahead,” Beaty said following Monday’s introductory news conference. “I get that. But I’m excited about the future.

I don’t worry about tough times. And the great thing is, we’re not starting over.”

In many ways, the Jay-

Listen, I know there’s some tough times ahead. I get that.”

hawks are. Thirteen of the 22 starters in KU’s seasonending loss to Kansas State were seniors. And 18 Jayhawks who played in the finale will not be back next season.

Shockers scuttle Pirates, 77-68 The Associated Press

Top 25 men No. 11 Wichita State 77, Seton Hall 68 Wichita — Every time Wichita State’s Ron Baker picked the pocket of his player, or cruised to the basket for an easy layup, Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard stood in front of his bench and cringed.

He found it hard to believe that Baker was once a walk-on.

“I might go back and start looking for some guys in my gym. My rec gym,” Willard said with a sly grin. “He’s a special guy, fun to watch.”

Baker scored 22 points, Fred VanVleet added 18 points and eight assists, and the Shockers beat the Pirates on Tuesday.

“We knew they were going to be very athletic. They’ve got some good players,” said Baker, who was 9-of-11 from the field and perfect on three three-point attempts. “They weren’t going to come in shy, we knew that. We made some big shots and big plays.”

Darius Carter finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Tekele Cotton had 11 points as the Shockers (6-1) extended their home winning streak to 22 games dating to the 2012-13 season.

No. 3 Arizona 87, Utah Valley 56 Tucson, Ariz. — Freshman Stanley Johnson’s 14 points led a balanced attack for Arizona.

Kansas vs. Georgetown LHS

l

Mason update: KU’s Mason, who sprained his ankle against Florida on Friday, practiced Tuesday and will play tonight, Self said Tuesday night. l

Thompson speaks: Hoyas coach John Thompson III, whose Hoyas were ranked 28th this week in the AP poll, spoke about the Jayhawks on Tuesday.

“They are very multifaceted,” he said. “They have

key contributors, Beaty said he believed what interim coach Clint Bowen did during the final nine weeks of the season with regard to reshaping the team’s mindset and philosophy was a fantastic starting point for the program he hopes to build at Kansas. He thinks that because he saw it with his own eyes.

“I’ve watched every one of (KU’s) games this year,” Beaty said. “I’ve Tivo’d ’em. I’ve ran ’em back. Because it’s important to me.”

So what did he see when he watched the games? Enough talent in certain places to inspire him to take the job and hit campus with the idea that the foundation is in place.

“We’re going to have to limit his good touches and allow him not to get to his spot on the block quite as easily,” Self added.

Smith, 6-9, 239-pound senior Mikael Hopkins and 6-3 Big East preseason player of the year D’Vauntes Smith-Rivers (14.4 ppg) provide an effective inside/out combination for the Hoyas, who defeated Florida (6665, OT) and lost to No. 5 Wisconsin (68-65) in the Battle4Atlantis in the Bahamas. KU also beat Florida, 71-65, Friday in Allen Fieldhouse.

“He (Smith) is a big dude. We really have to front him and do things like that,” said Perry Ellis, KU’s leading scorer and top rebounder at 14.6 points and 6.7 boards a game. “He has a big body and is strong.

They are a real aggressive team. We’ll definitely have to compete.”

KU will be without inside depth, as 6-8, 220-pound junior Jamari Traylor has been suspended a game following his weekend arrest.

“We all support him. At the same time, somebody else will have to step up,” Ellis said. “I feel we have the pieces to do that. We just have to make sure we do step up.”

Landen Lucas, a 6-10, 240 sophomore who Self said would again start with Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden Jr., Ellis and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, likely will open on Smith, with Alexander getting plenty of minutes trying to stop the immovable force.

“Cliff embraces contact, there’s no question about that. When he and Josh are guarding each other, there will be some banging going on in that regard,” Self said.

“I think Cliff has done a really good job. I didn’t think he was very good the first half at all against Florida, but he was tuned in the second half (as KU erased 18-point deficit). I thought he played great, played with energy, those things. He and Landen without question are our most physical guys.”

Smith spoke about KU to the Washington Post on Tuesday: “You can see why they’re always in the tournament. They’re always playing hard. They’re always physical. They have a great coach. They’re not going to give us anything. We have to go out and take it.”

a lot of different people and different ways that can hurt you. They’re getting to the foul line. They get fouled a lot. Last year, out there (in 86-64 loss to KU in Allen), we got in foul trouble quickly, and that is a concern. Then they have guys that can take you off the dribble, guys that can make shots. This is a very balanced team.”

Asked if it was important to win, he said: “You put games like this on your schedule to win. As much last year that I can remember, we weren’t in it offensively, defensively, for whatever the reasons the stars were not aligned properly last year. It was a difficult evening, a very, very difficult evening. So the guys that were here remember that, and if they’ve forgotten we’ve watched enough tape to remind them of that. Big picture I don’t know, national scene this that and the other, I don’t know.

But it’s important that we play well against them.” l

“I’m encouraged by the guys we have on campus,” he said. “And we’re gonna go out, and we’re gonna find guys that are gonna push them.”

Like most coaches entering new situations, Beaty plans to bring stability to the program through discipline, an upgrade in talent and a fresh outlook.

“I didn’t come here looking to go somewhere,” he said. “I came here looking to stay and build this thing into something we can all be proud of. I see this place the way a lot of people don’t.

I think you can make it a nationally prominent program. I’ve seen it done.

And I want to be here as long as they’ll have me.”

different teams, different support,” Thompson said.

“Obviously he’s played against Cliff quite a bit. So if you are asking if I went to Paul for Cliff’s scouting report, I might do that today once we get in there (for Tuesday practice).” l

Fans studying: Thompson, about the possibility Georgetown fans may not show up tonight in full force. This week is firstsemester exams. “Let’s be honest, there are not too many places like (Allen Fieldhouse). I hope our fans come out and give us a boost.” It’s expected thousands of KU fans will attend tonight’s game. l

Revenge can be sweet: Some of the Georgetown players spoke of revenge as a motivating factor for tonight’s game. Thompson’s take? “I don’t know.

The TV people said they said that. The words come out of our mouth, will the actions come out on the court? It depends,” Thompson said. “Are you going to get that loose ball that we need to get? Are you going to remember to box out the guys we need to box out?

Are you going to keep your body in front of your man?

Or are we going to just sit over here today and talk about it? We’ll see.”

attention shifts to filling the out the rest of Beaty’s coaching staff.

No names have surfaced for the remaining seven full-time assistant coach openings, and Beaty said people needed to be patient.

“It’s gonna get done pretty quick,” Beaty said.

“However, the people that I’m interested in, they’re really, really good in this business, and a lot of them are still playing.”

Beaty said during his introductory news conference that he was seeking assistants who could recruit and develop talent.

“That pool is small,” Beaty said. “(The pool of) guys that can do one or the other is pretty big, but the pool of (guys) that can teach and recruit, it’s small, and relationships are the key to getting those men to come here.”

over the last 21⁄2 minutes of the first quarter for a 17-8 advantage.

In the second quarter, the Lions (0-2) cut the score to five points through a 6-0 run highlighted by layups from freshman Talima Harjo, junior Devon Spoonhunter and freshman E’lease Stafford.

Spoonhunter finished with a team-high nine points on 4-of-6 shooting from the field, as Stafford and point guards Marissa Pope and Skylar Drum found her under the basket for layups. Junior Alexis Boyd added eight points, and Stafford had seven.

“I didn’t even know I had nine points,” Spoonhunter said with a laugh.

“I’m a post player. I mean, that’s what we work on in practice.”

After the Lions went on their run to trim the score to 23-18, Blue Valley Southwest ended the second quarter on a 7-1 outburst, as LHS missed three shots and turned the ball over three times to end the half.

At halftime, the Lions heard from Dickson about improving their effort on rebounds. It made a difference. They chased loose balls and didn’t give up as many secondchance points. Madison McKinney, a 5-foot-4 sophomore, led LHS with seven boards.

But even with better focus on the glass, the Lions just couldn’t get into a rhythm offensively or defensively to trim Blue Valley Southwest’s lead in the second half.

“I do think we’re improving as a team,” Drum said. “We’re more of a team. We work together better, and this is just a step. We’re going to go a long ways.”

The Lions will face Shawnee Heights at 7 p.m. Friday at LHS.

Short moving on?

The on-again-off-again connection between cornerback Kevin Short and KU appears to be done.

Short, the former junior college All-American who missed the past two KU seasons — 2013 because of academic issues, and 2014 after leaving for personal issues — revealed on his Facebook page Tuesday that he would play out his college career at Lindenwood College in St. Charles, Missouri.

Coincidentally, Beaty is a 1994 graduate of Lindenwood, where he played football and served as team captain in 1992 and 1993.

Short was arrested in Lawrence last weekend on suspicion of failure to appear in court in a case that was not related to the weekend arrest of KU wide receiver Rodriguez Coleman and KU basketball forward Jamari Traylor.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

A wife’s open letter to her hurtful husband Dear Annie: This is an open note to my husband: I love you, and most of the time, I like you, as well. However, right now, I am too angry to talk to you.

When I exhaust myself doing “womanly” things like cleaning the moldy shower stall that you never notice, you gush gratitude. When I spend umpteen hours on the garden, you tell everyone what a terrific, independent woman you married.

Then you destroy all that loving support.

When I take care of repairs or maintenance to the house or car, you always jump in after the fact, pointing out how I’ve been “taken advantage of” and “spent too much,” indicating that you, a man, would have known better. When I confront you, your deri-

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

sion gets worse. Suddenly, I am no longer that cool, intelligent woman you married. Now I am “unreasonable,” along with ignorant and naive.

You make hurtful remarks to our children and friends. Then you laugh and tell them how funny it is that I just gave you “that look.” Would you rather I say out loud that you are capable of being one of the most inconsiderate people I know and that you are a first-class jerk? I don’t

TLC hosts a ‘Cheapskate’ Christmas How do you pinch pennies when everybody’s throwing money around? The holidays are so often associated with spending, it’s nice to know that there’s an “Extreme Cheapskates: Merry Cheapskate Christmas” (8 p.m., TLC) out there.

More about parsimony than poinsettias, this special follows Sarah Gracel as she scours junkyards for stocking stuffers and gifts for her loved ones.

Shelly Watson concocts a fake turkey out of ground m e a t , chicken and turkey legs. I can’t see how those ingredients are less expensive than a Butterball, but I’m sure there’s a sensible “Cheapskate” explanation.

O Don’t go looking for “Red Band Society” tonight. Folks from the Fox series assure us that “Red Band” was always supposed to take a winter hiatus after airing its first 10 episodes. But the network also announced that it was limiting production to the existing 13.

When, where and if “Red Band” returns to the schedule should be interesting. We’ve been told that a major character will not survive season one.

We’re all but assured that “Red Band” will not see a season two.

“Red Band” is part of a larger catastrophe for Fox. Of its new series, only the very expensive “Gotham” has emerged as a modest hit. With so many of existing series past their prime and the network’s spring season tied to the sagging fortunes of “American Idol,” Fox is a network in dire need of reinvention. But given Fox’s history of audacity, I don’t think that is an impossible task.

Tonight’s other highlights

O Director Rob Reiner and

editor Robert Leighton discuss their long partnership on “AFI’s Master Class” (7 p.m., TCM).

O An attacker follows a specific pattern on “Law & Order: SVU” (8 p.m., NBC).

O Haley does not turn 21 without drama on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

O Teddy pulls strings to find his recent fling on “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC).

O Nothing concentrates the mind like imminent doom, on the season finale of “The Game” (9 p.m., BBC America).

O Jimmy drowns his sorrows on “American Horror Story” (9 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is 58. Actor-director Kenneth Branagh is 54. TV chef Bobby Flay is 50. Rock musician Meg White is 40. Actress Raven-Symone is 29.

want to air our dirty linen in front of everyone, so I fold. And you think you win. But we both just lost, big time.

We have been together too long for me to leave. But when you wonder why the closeness has diminished, look in the mirror before you point a finger at me. — Tired and Disgusted Other Half Dear Tired: You have written an excellent letter explaining how a loving husband can undermine his wife’s affection. We suggest you show your husband this letter and tell him you wrote it. We think he will want to fix this before it’s too late.

Dear Annie: My friend “Joe” rarely showers and smells like it. I have told him gently that he needs to shower more, and he says, “You’re right. I should.”

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, Dec. 10: This year you open up to more adventure, which allows your creativity to surge. You easily could become known as an “idea person.” You always seem to land on your feet, even if you give in to your innate impulsiveness. If you are single, you will have your pick of suitors. Your biggest dilemma will be choosing whom to date.

If you are attached, your sweetie might be taken aback at times by your spontaneity.

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) +++++ A friend could be hot under the collar as of late, particularly today. Tonight: Midweek break.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ Venus, your ruling planet, changes signs and helps you see the big picture. Tonight: Head home early.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ You’ll choose the right words and naturally say the right thing. Tonight: Out and about.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ A difficult friend might have you wondering what is going on with him or her. Tonight: Visit with a loved one.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ Conversations could go beyond the usual “hello/goodbye” exchange. Tonight: Act as if

I have given him light men’s cologne as a hint, but he doesn’t use it. I know he has decent soap in his place. What can I do? — Need a Gas Mask Dear Need: You have to be more direct and consider that you are doing your friend a favor, hard as it may be to say the words. Tell him, “Joe, you probably don’t realize how bad it is, but you have a noticeable body odor, and it is difficult to be around you. You absolutely need to shower at least three times a week and wear deodorant every day. It is no longer optional. You also might want to talk to your doctor, as it could be a medical problem.”

the world is your oyster.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) +++ Be sensitive to the changes happening around you. Take some time to indulge a loved one.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You have the ability to create more of what you want.

Tonight: Join a friend for some holiday eggnog.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Take charge of a responsibility, even if it means having to avoid a family member.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ It’s possible that you won’t be able to convince someone else of the usefulness of your plans. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ A family member or domestic situation could add some stress to your interactions.

Tonight: Make time for a close friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++++ You could be unusually assertive, and others might be having a strong reaction. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ “All work and no play” could be a difficult goal to accomplish. Tonight: Run some errands on the way home.

Ginger spice is more than just nice

G

inger is a spicy root that is small but mighty — not just in size but in both flavor and health benefits.

The pungent cut of its distinct flavor adds kick to everything from candy to stir-fry to, of course, gingerbread. Moreover, it contains powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that can relieve digestion issues and nausea.

ture drink I made for a New Year’s Eve party years ago, but I think I might have improved upon the original.

I started with gingerinfused vodka. Infused vodka, as fancy as it sounds, is not fancy at all. Basically, you put some vodka in a jar and toss in some flavoring.

Then comes the tricky part: wait.

Delicious/ Nutritious

Ginger-Infused Vodka

Delicious I love ginger everything.

I used to go to sushi restaurants just for the ginger salad dressing, before I was brave enough to try raw fish.

(How ridiculously unfortunate those lost opportunities were). I use it in smoothies, stir-fry, soups and even some desserts.

I love ginger ale and ginger beer (the spicier the better) and ginger snap cookies.

Seriously, people, this is a strong affinity we are talking about.

To kick off December, I wanted a festive recipe; something that would incorporate my precious fresh ginger into my holiday merry-making, so I decided on a cocktail.

This is a riff on a signa-

3 cups vodka 1 piece of fresh ginger about the size of your palm Slice the ginger into rounds.

Don’t bother peeling it. Toss it in the vodka, screw on the lid, wait a week.

When it’s properly steeped you can make all manner of cocktails with it. Here is my favorite:

Ginger Vodka Sparkler 2 jiggers ginger-infused vodka 3 ounces ginger beer 1 1/2 ounce cranberry juice Squeeze of fresh lemon juice Twist of lemon peel Handful of fresh cranberries for garnish Pour over ice, stir, garnish and serve.

Makes one “tall” drink.

race-weary stomach.

My husband and son love it too (the baby, of course, has no opinion just yet).

My son will devour ginger cookies, and my husband has been known to throw in way more than is necessary in a stir-fry just because he loves the combination of ginger and garlic so much (smart man).

Ginger has a host of documented health benefits and has been used for centuries to treat nausea, an upset stomach and pain. And these days, it’s so prized for its anti-inflammatory properties that you can buy it in pill form.

And while pills are great, they skimp on the wonderful spicy taste of ginger.

This soup, though, doesn’t miss a delicious, nutritious beat. The ginger mingles with garlic (another anti-inflammation star) and curry powder to liven up sweet carrots and hearty lentils. The final meal is warm, comforting and full of vitamin A, protein, good fat and, of course, ginger’s great benefits.

Ginger is pretty prevalent in my life these days for something I didn’t realize I could buy at the store until I was out of college.

I’ll throw a thumb-size piece into my juicer or blender to give a green drink a kick. I’ll make chai tea out of it. It goes in nearly every stirfry I make, and it’s a regular in many of my baking recipes.

Carrot-Ginger Lentil I’ve also been known to buy the candied version and have Soup it with me during the mara3 tablespoons coconut oil, thons and ultramarathons I run because it can even calm a divided

2 red onions, chopped 1 cup dry red lentils 4 cups water 3 large carrots, peeled and roughly chopped 1 14-ounce can coconut milk 1 teaspoon salt 3 cloves garlic, minced 1.5-inch piece fresh ginger, minced 1 tablespoon curry powder In medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until onions start to brown, about 10 minutes.

Add 4 cups water, lentils, carrots, coconut milk and salt.

Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium heat.

Add garlic, ginger and curry powder. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add to saucepan.

Using a stick blender, blend soup until smooth. (You can also let it cool and use a regular blender.) Taste, and add a bit more salt if desired.

Serves 4.

Wine-braised short ribs prove value of the slow cooker

By Elizabeth Karmel Associated Press

It was a strange confession to make, but I felt I had to fess up. A friend who once ran a large recipe-based website was recently explaining to me that slow cooker recipes are wildly more popular online than conventional recipes. This shocked me.

And I had to be honest with her... Not only did I never use a slow cooker, I didn’t even own one.

Truth is, I love slow cooking, but I’d never done it in a slow cooker. I generally favor cast iron, which lets me brown in the pot on the stovetop, then pop the whole thing in the oven for low and slow heat. But if Americans are so smitten with their slow cookers, maybe there was something I was missing. So I started researching.

The first thing I learned is that today’s slow cookers are a lot different than a genera-

tion ago. Many models now let you brown or saute right inside them.

The saves the annoying step of having to brown meat or vegetables in a skillet on the stove, then transfer them to a slow cooker. That process had always been just enough trouble to turn me off.

So I found a 4-quart slow cooker with a saute feature. That seemed like the perfect combination cooker for me. To test it I made braised short ribs.

This is one of my favorite dishes for entertaining because it can be made in the morning and basically forgotten until dinner is ready, or even made the day before.

Slow Cooker Short Ribs These short ribs are just the thing for easy holiday cooking. They are a snap to make, but taste like you’ve been cooking all day. Serve with noo-

Slow Cooker Short Ribs dles, rice or garlic-cheese grits. I made these in a 4-quart slow cooker, but the recipe can easily be doubled to accommodate a larger cooker. Since not everyone owns a slow cooker that has a saute mode, I wrote the recipe using the more traditional method of browning the meat in a skillet, then transferring everything to the slow cooker. Feel free

Matthew Mead/AP Photo

to modify for whichever model cooker you own.

Start to finish: 4 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 6 4 pounds boneless beef short ribs Olive oil Kosher salt and ground black pepper 3 large shallots, thinly sliced 1 medium rib celery, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch rounds 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped 2 cups full-bodied red wine, such as cabernet sauvignon, zinfandel or shiraz 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 3 large springs fresh rosemary 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Brush the ribs with a light coating of olive oil, then sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the shallots, celery and carrots and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook until the vegetables begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking until they begin to brown on the edges, another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the meat and turn to brown on all sides.

Transfer the mixture

to a 4-quart or larger slow cooker, being sure to scrape the pan to get all of the liquid. Add the wine, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, mustard and vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for 3 1/2 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours.

After cooking, transfer the short ribs to a large platter. Set aside.

Remove and discard the stems of the rosemary sprigs. Transfer the liquid and vegetables in the slow cooker to a blender and carefully puree until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve the ribs on a bed of noodles, rice, mashed potatoes or cheese grits with sauce ladled over them.

We can’t help it. Once the cooler weather arrives, we crave hot cocoa with the same intensity that we crave a cold beer during barbecue season.

There is, after all, something intensely comforting about drinking a warm mug of nature’s most perfect food — chocolate!

Add a dollop of freshly whipped and lightly sweetened cream and it Coconut-lime hot cocoa doesn’t get much better.

Or maybe it can. To help take our hot cocoa game to the next level, we decided to see how many deliciously fresh ways we could doctor a mug of basic cocoa. Turns out, the possibilities are pretty inspiring (and tempting).

So we picked our top 10 to share. Here are 10 fresh combinations to consider adding to your hot cocoa.

10 Fresh Ways With Hot Cocoa Start with your favorite purchased hot cocoa mix, or make our hot cocoa. For homemade, heat 1 cup of whole milk until steaming.

Sift together 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon sugar. Whisk into the hot milk along with 1/4 cup milk chocolate bits until completely smooth.

Add any of the following and garnish with whipped cream:

Almond praline Use brown sugar in place of the white sugar.

Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract or 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur.

Hazelnut Whisk in 2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella). Add 1 tablespoon Frangelico liqueur, if desired.

The independent newsletter that reports vitamin, mineral, and food therapies 1HJR *OHSSLT

The benefit, of course, is that we can consume nutrient-dense, vitamin-rich healthy foods all year long. Not availing ourselves of this opportunity would be a little like saying we should avoid nutritional supplements for half the year. It just doesn’t make sense. It’s far more important to consider the quality of food and to buy organic varieties whenever possible.

Strange Ideas in the Nutri-Sphere One of the ideas floating around in the nutrisphere is that you should eat specific foods seasonally. That is, you should eat foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, only when they are in season.

The idea, so far as I can tell, comes from some adherents to the Paleo diet (which I happen to be a big fan of). In ancient times, people had no choice but to eat seasonally. Later, some simple methods of food preservation developed, including drying or pickling foods for later consumption.

Vitamin D Anti-Cancer 0HFKDQLVP ,GHQWL¿HG Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have identified a key mechanism that helps vitamin D prevent and possibly slow the development of cancer. It is generally known that c-MYC is a transcription factor that activates genes involved in the proliferation of cancer. Activity of c-MYC is usually elevated in patients with cancer. In cell and mouse studies, the researchers found that vitamin D can suppress the activity of c-MYC. At the same time, vitamin D boosts the activity of MXD1, which helps control c-MYC. The researchers wrote that their findings “provide a compelling mechanism” to explain the role of vitamin D in cancer prevention.

Adherents of this approach forget that ancient humans had to be dietary opportunists to survive.

They didn’t have the luxury of picking and choosing their foods or when to eat them.

They ate whatever they could get their hands on, whenever they could get their hands on food. The alternative was starvation.

Personally, I think the idea of eating seasonally is unhealthy. With rapid transportation of fresh foods from around the world, or the availability of frozen foods (which are almost as good), we can eat any number of fruit and vegetable varieties throughout the year.
