GOP eyes amendment to avoid court order

——

KU senior hopes to win a seat on the Topeka City Council

Matt Bevens is aiming to graduate early from Kansas University, expecting to finish this summer. He’s also a member of the KU debate team, coaches high school debaters in Topeka, runs a Realtor-assistance business with his dad and plays with the KU racquetball club team when he can.

Oh, and for the spring semester, the KU junior is going to toss another extracurricular activity on top of that pile: a city council campaign.

Bevens, 21, filed recently to run for a council seat in Topeka, where he lives.

He says his jammedfull schedule, along with a 30-minute daily commute to Lawrence for classes, doesn’t worry him. He just tries to “get as much out of Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo life per minute as you possibly can,” he said.

Budget worries lead county officials to scale back projects

TOPEKA — Kansas Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, said Monday that Republican leaders are considering putting a constitutional amendment on the April 2 ballot aimed at thwarting a court-ordered increase in school funding.

The discussion is in response to last week’s ruling by a three-judge panel that the Kansas Legislature has failed its constitutional duty to provide adequate school funding. The panel said the Legislature must fulfill its LEGISLATURE earlier promise to fund base state aid at $4,492 per pupil, which would require a $440 million increase. Base state aid is now at $3,838 per pupil.

The judges also criticized the state’s arguments that it had to cut school funding

Gov. Sam Brownback will lay out his legislative agenda for the 2013 session when he delivers his third State of the State address, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. today.

But a ruling last week by a special three-judge panel in the ongoing school finance lawsuit will cast a shadow over the legislative options available as Brownback and state lawmakers craft tax policies and a budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1.

On Friday, the panel ruled in the case of Gannon v. Kansas that current levels of school funding are unconstitutional under Article 6 of the Kansas Constitution, and that the Legislature has to adhere to funding standards that the Kansas Supreme Court approved in 2006 Please see RULING, page 2A

Bill Rich, a constitutional law professor at Washburn University in Topeka, said a stay would effectively give the Legislature one session to address the issue.

“As a general rule, the courts at whatever level are going to be responsible for applying the law at whatever time the courts rule,” Rich said. “It is possible for the Legislature to change the underlying law while a lawsuit is pending.

The best way to travel Iowa Street this summer will be via helicopter.

City commissioners at their meeting tonight are set to approve the city’s 2013 street maintenance program.

And no surprise: Iowa Street will be the star of the show.

As we have reported multiple times, Iowa Street from Yale Road to the Irving Hill overpass will be reduced to one lane in each direction while crews rebuild that stretch of road. The city also will close Bob Billings/15th Street where it intersects with Iowa from May 20 through mid-August to add turning lanes and make other improvements.

So yes, the northern stretches of Iowa Street may be a little stressful for a while; the entire project is expected to last from midFebruary to mid-November.

If you are thinking about relieving your traffic-induced stress by doing a little shopping on South Iowa Street, beware. You’ll still be able to buy, buy, buy on South Iowa Street, but you may have to endure some wait, wait, wait to get there.

The city is set to spend $600,000 — about $200,000 of it is coming from state funds — to do deep patching and a complete repaving of Iowa Street from 29th Street to the southern city limits. Work is expected to begin May 21 and last through Aug. 16, although you never know about those dates.

The city basically says it will start projects after KU spring classes end and be finished by the time fall classes begin. The road will remain open during the project, but expect some lane disruptions.

The two Iowa Street projects may be the most visible this summer, but there will be others. Here’s a look at what else is on the city’s 2013 street maintenance plan:

A major reconstruction of the Bob Billings Parkway and Wakarusa Drive intersection. The latest plans I’ve seen call for Wakarusa Drive to be closed a couple hundred feet both north and south of Bob Billings Parkway.

The city will keep motorists on Bob Billings Parkway on their toes. In addition to the intersection work, the city will do a complete repaving of the section of Bob Billings Parkway just west of WakaPlease see TOWN, page 4A

Fiscal issues dominate Legislature’s agenda as annual session opens

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas legislators opened their annual session Monday facing major budget issues even as many of them hoped to cut income taxes a second consecutive year.

Each chamber installed a new top leader for its conservative Republican majority, Speaker Ray Merrick of Stilwell in the House and President Susan Wagle of Wichita in the Senate. Both are allies of GOP Gov. Sam Brownback and committed to shrinking state government and phasing out income taxes.

Both Merrick and Wagle struck bipartisan notes in short speeches, with Wagle promising an open-door style in leading senators and Merrick saying House members shouldn’t be afraid to share their ideas with colleagues. But they also signaled that the GOP

right is ready to trim spending and cut taxes further to stimulate the economy.

Brownback and legislators must close a projected $267 million gap between anticipated revenues and existing spending commitments for the fiscal year that begins in July. The shortfall results from aggressive income tax cuts enacted last year, but many GOP legislators were looking to go further to keep taxes lower than in other states. “We know the budget is always a challenge, but especially this year, because we choose to leave more money in the pockets of hard-working Kansans and to commit to running the state on less,� Merrick said. “We will work tirelessly to pursue economic growth because it benefits every man, woman and child in this state.�

The session began with the swearing in of all 40 senators and 125 House

members.

Brownback plans to outline his agenda in this evening’s State of the State a d d r e s s Davis and release the details of his budget proposals Wednesday morning.

GOP conservatives went into last year’s elections with a majority in the House and wrested control of the Senate from GOP moderates. Republicans have majorities of 32-8 in the Senate and 92-33 in the House, with 53 lawmakers who’ve never served in either chamber.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat, decried a “toxic atmosphere� in American politics and said the solution is bipartisanship. “Compromise is

good,� he told his colleagues. “No matter what the partisan breakdown of this chamber may be, we are all equal partners in this process, and we are the stewards of democracy in this state.�

The prospects of Please see SCHOOL, page 4A smoother sailing for Brownback’s budget and tax proposals — and measures from the right on issues such as abortion, labor relations and public pensions — upsets unions, public employee organizations and liberal activist groups.

TOPEKA (AP) — The Kansas Legislature that convened Monday will have the fewest number of female lawmakers in the state since 1988, but some of those women are serving in high leadership positions.

Kansas will have 39 women out of 165 members in the Legislature, ranking 26th nationally, its lowest ranking since 1979, according to the Rutgers University Center for American Women in Politics.

In comparison, the state had 55 female legislators and ranked

fifth in the nation after the 1998 election.

Despite the drop, female legislators moved into leadership positions this LEGISLATURE session.

Sen. Susan Wagle is the state’s first female Senate President, Rep. Peggy Mast was elected House Speaker Pro Tem and four of the Democrats’ six House minority leadership positions went to women.

State board of ed to get update on crisis handling

Kansas Legislature has fewest women since 1988

The Lawrence school board took formal action Monday night to approve language for the $92.5 million bond proposal that will appear on the April 2 ballot.

The question will ask voters in the district to approve a bond issue, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to construct additions to and renovate, improve technology infrastructure, equip and furnish existing elementary and secondary schools; construct, equip and furnish a new career and technology education facility; and make all other necessary and related improvements in the District SCHOOLS (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Projectâ&#x20AC;?) at an estimated cost of $92,500,000.â&#x20AC;?

District officials have been working for months with design consultants to outline the scope and cost of the projects. Most of the proposed bond issue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about $70.5 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be used to refurbish the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14 elementary schools, with particular focus on six older schools in central and East Lawrence: Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill.

Also during Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, the school board received news that Lawrence was among the five school districts in Kansas named to the College Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 National Advanced Placement Honor Roll.

To qualify for the honor roll, districts must increase their participation rates and access to AP courses; ensure that participation does not decline among minority students; and increase the percentage of students scoring a 3 or higher, out of a possible 5, on AP tests.

In 2012, 438 high school students in Lawrence took a combined 699 AP tests.

Of those, 75.1 percent of the scores were 3 or higher.

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; About 75 people braved the chill on Monday during what was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State of the State rallyâ&#x20AC;? to protest a number of Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies as the 2013 legislative session started.

rusa. Based on the map Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen, it looks like the repaving will stop just east of Legends Drive.

Several residential streets south of Harvard Road, north of Bob Billings Parkway, west of Kasold and east of Wakarusa Drive will get a microsurface treatment. The process involves putting a thin layer of pavement over the street to seal cracks and such.

East Lawrence also will get in on the act with several streets east of Connecticut, west of Haskell and north of 15th Street getting repaved.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also some curb work slated for the area, and a one-block brick street restoration in the 800 block of Pennsylvania Street, near the Poehler Lofts building.

The area between Louisiana and Massachusetts Streets, south of 19th but north of 23rd Street, also will have multiple streets that get repaved and some concrete curb repair work.

Maybe a new streak is about to begin.

Last year at this time we were reporting how the Lawrence home-building industry had hit a new low.

In 2011, Lawrence builders saw their streak of at least 55 years in a row of building 100 homes or more snapped. Builders started just 95 single-family homes in Lawrence in 2011.

Well, the old hammer

senting more than a dozen organizations, then lined up outside the House and Senate chambers, holding small signs urging legislators who were walking by to fund education and health care.

Chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stand up, stand together,â&#x20AC;? the crowd heard from critics of various aspects of the Brownback agenda.

Much of the criticism dealt with the state income tax cuts signed into law by Brownback.

The cuts will benefit mostly the wealthy while leading to revenue shortages and cuts in essential services, the speakers said.

Al Frisby, of Johnson County MoveOn, said

Brownback was using Kansans as â&#x20AC;&#x153;research rats,â&#x20AC;? to test business tax cuts.

Lisa Ochs, of the American Federation of Teachers, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t create a fake budget emergency by slashing taxes for your cronies and then cry poverty when it comes time to fund vital services.â&#x20AC;?

Sherriene Jones-Sontag,

a spokeswoman for Brownback, said the governor will outline his budget proposals this week. He has vowed to protect school and social service funding.

Brownback delivers his State of the State speech today.

had a little bounce back in 2012. Almost 95 percent of the time when a hammer bounces back, it involves a large bandage on my forehead. But this time a bounce back is good. Builders in 2012 started 123 single-family building permits.

In fact, the 123 housing starts is the second highest total in the last five years. The city had dipped to 102 single-family housing starts in 2008, and 110 in 2009. The only year the homebuilding industry seemed to have any positive momentum was in 2010, when a firsttime home buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; credit helped perk the market up temporarily. The city had 146 single-family housing starts that year.

The last five years have been kind of like a two-byfour to the head for most home builders. The city used to routinely be near 300 single-family housing permits per year, and on a few occasions topped the 400 level. Those days are gone, but nobody is ready to concede yet that 100 to 125 housing starts per year is the new normal for Lawrence.

What 2013 brings for the industry will be interesting to watch. I would think this is the year that builders may believe they can get back to that level of 150 housing starts in a year. If somehow they could get to 200, everybody would breathe a lot easier.

As for other numbers from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 building permit report, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a look:

The city issued permits for $100.65 million

worth of projects in 2012.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down from $107.76 million in 2011.

One category of projects that saw a bump in 2012: projects funded with public money. The city issued building permits for $8.97 million worth of publicly funded construction projects. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up from $7.96 million in 2011.

Those projects can be projects funded with city tax dollars, construction at Lawrence Memorial Hospital or other smaller projects by government agencies. Generally, the project must involve some type of structure in order for it receive a building permit. The category, for example, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include road projects or waterline work. Indeed, the second largest project of the year was a publicly funded one: A $4.8 million permit for the new parking garage that will be next to the expanded Lawrence Public Library.

The city issued permits for 184 apartment units in 2012, down from 355 in 2011. Two of the five largest dollar projects in the city, however, were apartment projects in 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Westfield Place Apartments in the 200 block of Eisenhower Drive, and the Varsity House Apartments in the Oread neighborhood.

Permits for remodeling projects, both commercial and residential, grew in 2012. The city issued 345 remodeling permits, up from 317 in 2011.

Even though the to-

tal value of projects constructed in Lawrence was down for the year, the city saw a slight increase in the amount of building permit fees in collected in 2012. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in large part because the city saw an increase in the total number of permits applied for during the year. The city collected $735,564 in building permit fees, up from $705,173 in 2011.

There were 17 building projects in the city that had a value of $1 million or more in 2012.

Eudora and parts of rural Douglas County. Salinabased Kansas Broadband Internet is making a new push to enter the Eudora market and the parts of rural Douglas County that are south and east of Lawrence.

The company provides wireless broadband service using the 1,000-foot tower near Mount Blue between Eudora and Lawrence. Kansas Broadband has offered some service in the area for a while, but in late 2012 it installed new equipment on the tower â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is one of the tallest in the county â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to increase its service capabilities. Dave Gleason, Kansas Broadbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of marketing and sales, told me recently that the company plans to offer service within a 12-mile radius of the tower. But there is one big exception: The company isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planning on offering service in any parts of Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With our wireless service, it works better if we stay out of the larger towns,â&#x20AC;? Gleason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want our frequency getting interfered with.â&#x20AC;?

In recent weeks, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written about how you might want to keep your eyes open for a future shakeup in the Lawrence Internet service provider market.

City officials have agreed to hire a consultant to study whether the city can use the miles of city-owned fiber optic cable to create more competition in the Internet service provider field. If anything happens on that front, it will take awhile to develop.

But maybe the first shake-up will come in

A:

Our policy changed in December, and we now name arrested suspects before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been charged because their arrests are part of the public record. We still generally do not name suspects in sex offenses unless theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re convicted.

Dahlke will be required to appear in Ottawa Municipal Court to face a charge of unlawful discharge of a firearm.

The incident comes on the heels of the accidental shooting of a 4-yearold Jan. 4 in Ottawa.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

Ottawa police arrested two men Friday evening following an alleged armed robbery at a Princeton convenience store, according to police reports.

About 10 p.m., an employee at the Quik Shop, 1445 U.S. Highway 59, reported the store had been robbed at gunpoint of $1,200 by two white men, who fled in a silver car.

Ottawa police later stopped a vehicle on Interstate 35 that matched that description and arrested three people, one of whom was later released.

The two arrested â&#x20AC;&#x201D; William Pope, 31, Garnett, and Dalton Dunnagan, 22, Mound City â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were booked into the Franklin County Jail on charges of aggravated robbery and felony theft. Both are being held on a $75,000 bond.

ACCIDENT REPORT Two men were hospitalized after separate single-vehicle accidents on U.S. Highway 24 on Sunday in Jefferson County, according to police reports.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recap of each accident: â&#x20AC;˘ At 2 a.m., an eastbound truck driven by Oskaloosa resident Adam Michel Bower, 25, drifted into a ditch on U.S. 24 at mile marker 385. Bower was ejected from the truck and taken to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka, where he was listed in fair condition Monday morning. â&#x20AC;˘ At 7 a.m., an eastbound semitrailer driven by Kansas City,

Bishop Seabury fares best of city debate teams at state cluded two alternates who shared in the medal, freshmen Thomas Silvestri and Gabe Magee.

In the 6A tournament, Free State sent one squad in the four-speaker competition and four teams in the two-speaker competition.

Free State coach Jo Ball said all teams ended with even records: 8-8 in the four-speaker event and 3-3 in the two-speaker event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a squad that took the maximum number of kids to state, we did well. Half of the debaters who went to state will be returning next year, so that bodes well for the 2013 season,â&#x20AC;? Ball said.

Lawrence High sent four teams in the two-speaker division. Of those, coach Jeff Plinsky said, the team of Hayley Luna and Ellie Dunlap, both sophomores, had the best performance, finishing the preliminary rounds with a 4-2 record, just barely missing qualification for the octafinal elimination rounds.

One of those losses came against the eventual state champion team from Blue Valley West.

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION

Food bank director files for seat

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The director of a local food bank has filed for a seat on the Lawrence City Commission and plans to be a City Hall advocate for people in need.

Jeremy Farmer, executive director of Lawr e n c e based Just Food, filed paperwork Monday to run for one of three seats up for election on the Farmer five-member city commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of folks walk through our doors here,â&#x20AC;? Farmer said of the food bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have spent a lot of time talking with them, and it really helps you understand that what happens at the local level matters.â&#x20AC;?

Farmer said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll push for the community to do more with technical education and for â&#x20AC;&#x153;innovativeâ&#x20AC;? solutions in the area of economic development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Half of our volunteers at the food bank are clients of ours, and they work their butts off,â&#x20AC;?

Farmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just people who are trying to drain the system.

training to go along with their strong work ethic, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the chance to work in Lawrence, and that is what this community needs.â&#x20AC;?

Farmer, 29, was born and raised in Lawrence.

Since July 2011, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the executive director of Just Food, which provides food to people in need and also serves as a food bank for other food pantries in the area.

Farmer said his work with the nonprofit agency has provided him good experience in trying to bring different groups to the table to work together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m passionate about building consensus among groups,â&#x20AC;? Farmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to bring everyone to the table and talk about the issues so we can figure out the best way forward.â&#x20AC;?

He said if community leaders can do more consensus building it will help with the overall environment in Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really want people to see Lawrence as this huge family that is inclusive and welcoming,â&#x20AC;? Farmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them feeling they are walking into a fight.â&#x20AC;?

With Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filing, there are now five candidates in the race: Rob Chestnut, a former Lawrence mayor and a

chief financial officer for a Topeka publishing company; Scott Criqui, a member of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Human Relations Commission and an executive with a Lawrence-based home health care company; Terry Riordan, a Lawrence physician and a former LawrenceDouglas County Planning commissioner; and Michael Rost, an attorney for a Topeka insurance company.

Three seats are up for election. City Commissioner Mike Amyx has not yet filed for re-election, but he has indicated he will seek another term.

Commissioner Aron Cromwell also has a term that is expiring, but he has not yet indicated that he plans to seek reelection.

City Commissioner Hugh Carter already has announced he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek re-election but instead will focus on his new job with the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

Candidates have until noon Jan. 22 to file. If seven or more candidates file, there will be a primary election on Feb. 26 to narrow the field to six candidates. The general election will be on April 2.

And the possibility that lawmakers will pass legislation to reimpose a property tax lid on local governments, limiting their ability to raise tax levies in the future.

Commissioners held a special meeting Monday morning, primarily to swear in the two commissioners who were re-elected in November, Democrat Nancy Thellman and Republican Jim Flory. That ceremony was followed by a work session on the CIP. Thellman and Commission Chairman Mike Gaughan, a Democrat, voted in favor of scaling back the projects. Flory voted against the motion, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;short sightedâ&#x20AC;? and arguing that the commission should wait to see if legislative action affecting the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget actually materialize.

gency fund for use in future years.

Last month, commissioners took similar action and scaled back a major reconstruction project for Route 1055, which runs north and south between Lawrence and Baldwin City. That project, also slated to begin this year, has been pared back from $11 million to $4 million.

County Administrator Craig Weinaug said there are three factors looming that could cut deeply into county revenues:

An expected 2 percent decline in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessed valuation, due to adjustments made because property has been over-appraised in previous years, which would cost the county about $2 million a year in property taxes.

Venezuela ties to Cuba are puzzling

EDITORIALS

Pain, gain The pain of local road construction is allowing the city to report gains in local street conditions.

P

atience. Planning. Those may be good recommendations for drivers in Lawrence in the months ahead.

On tonight’s Lawrence City Commission agenda is a presentation concerning the “pavement management program” planned for this year; in other words, street work. It’s an ambitious plan that’s certain to disrupt familiar traffic patterns for many residents and probably cause frustration for those visiting the city and not expecting detours and delays. In fact, the reconstruction plan for the intersection at Bob Billings Parkway and Iowa streets just recently was the subject of public concerns at City Hall.

The purpose of all the effort and expense is, obviously, to upgrade the city’s streets from their current disreputable condition. And the efforts to date seem to be paying off.

Here are some of the major items on tap for this year, assuming no changes at today’s commission meeting: O Rebuild Iowa Street from Harvard Road to the Irving Hill overpass.

O Rebuild Bob Billings Parkway from Iowa to Crestline and from Kasold Drive to Crestline.

O Rebuild Wakarusa Drive north and south of its intersection at Bob Billings.

O Redo intersections at Sixth and Iowa (turn lane), 23rd and O’Connell (signal), Ninth and Tennessee (turn lane), and Sixth and George Williams Way. All that’s in addition to assorted overlays (including one on Iowa from 29th to the south city limits), brick and concrete restoration, crack sealing, striping work on streets and crosswalks, extensions (including 31st Street from Haskell to O’Connell), pothole patching, and other more routine projects. It would be interesting to know how much of this rebuilding, repair and patchwork is due to poor construction materials and the city not requiring and checking the quality of materials used in Lawernce street projects.

The price tag for all this work is $4.38 million (that includes a bonus of up to $96,000 for early completion of that intersection project at Iowa and 15th/Bob Billings.)

The payoff for city residents from their investment is that since 2005, when it was determined that 31.5 percent of the city’s streets were in a condition that dictated replacement, that figure now is 19.5 percent.

And the improvement is noticeable.

So, for drivers in the months ahead, the best advice may be to grin and bear it, knowing that when the work is completed, it’ll have been worth the temporary inconveniences.

As Venezuelans anxiously awaited news from ailing President Hugo Chavez and his ministers in Cuba in recent days, I received a tweet that stated, “This is the first case in history where a country subsidizes another, and is dominated by the latter.”

Indeed, historians in the future will be scratching their heads trying to figure out what has led Chavez to give Cuba about $4 billion a year in oil and other subsidies, and — more important — to put his health, and his country’s political future, in the hands of a small Caribbean island.

Chavez disclosed in June 2011 that it was former Cuban ruler Fidel Castro who first noticed that his health was failing, and urged him to undergo tests. After Cuban doctors diagnosed cancer, Chavez dismissed offers from Brazil to be treated there, where most medical experts agree he would have received much better treatment, and chose to continue his treatment in Cuba.

After telling Venezuelans in October 2011 that he had beaten cancer and that “there are no malignant cells in this body,” Chavez spent more than 106 days in Cuba in 2012.

While Chavez remains hospitalized in Cuba and has not been seen nor heard from in more than four weeks, Cuban and Venezuelan officials have reportedly concocted a “Pacto de la Habana” (Havana Pact) among various Venezuelan government factions to rally behind Vice President Nicolas Maduro.

The agreement was bro-

“

Indeed, historians in the future will be scratching their heads trying to figure out what has led Chavez to give Cuba about $4 billion a year in oil and other subsidies, and — more important — to put his health, and his country’s political future, in the hands of a small Caribbean island.” kered by Raul Castro and his Vice President Ramiro Valdes, who personally participated in the meetings with top Venezuelan officials in Havana, according to Venezuelan press reports. Maduro led the Jan. 10 ceremony in Caracas where Chavez was inaugurated in absentia for a new term, after a dubious interpretation of Venezuela’s constitution that Uruguayan journalist Danilo Arbilla has called “magic constitutionalism.”

Why has Venezuela, with a GDP of $316 billion, become so dependent on Cuba,

a small country with a GDP of $60 billion? I can think of three major reasons: First, for psychological/ emotional reasons. As former Chavez mentor and interior minister Luis Miquilena told me in a detailed interview a few years ago, Chavez became mesmerized with Castro ever since he first met him — unexpectedly — in 1994.

At the time, Chavez was a 40-year-old retired military officer who had recently been released from jail after his 1992 coup attempt, and was living in Miquilena’s house.

Miquilena had planned to travel with his protege to Cuba and a meeting with Fidel Castro, but — upon learning that Castro would not be able to see them on the dates they had chosen — decided to send Chavez by himself for a series of meetings with lower-level officials.

But to Chavez’s huge surprise, when he landed in Havana he was met on the tarmac by none other than Castro himself. From then on, Castro became a father figure, political guru and counselor to Chavez.

Second, for security reasons. Before Chavez became president in 1999, Castro convinced him that he would be the target of assassination attempts, and an increasingly paranoid Chavez accepted growing numbers of Cubans as his guards, according to several former Chavez ministers.

From then on, Chavez brought Cuban engineers to help restore Venezuela’s oil exports after a devastating 2002 oil strike, invited more

than 40,000 Cuban doctors and teachers to work in Venezuela, and imported Cuban managers to run the ports, the passport agency and several intelligence services.

Third, for political reasons. Chavez has followed Castro’s model of creating a permanent “state of war” — creating confrontations with the church, the media, the business community or “imperial” powers — to justify his grab of absolute powers. It worked for the Castro brothers, and it worked for Chavez.

My opinion: For the next few months, Cuba is likely to run Venezuela’s government like no other country has managed another’s internal affairs in the region’s recent memory.

Cuba will not only be the ultimate enforcer of the Pacto de la Habana, but will also try to ensure Latin American diplomatic support for Venezuela’s government when Raul Castro takes over the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States regional bloc at a ceremony in Chile late this month.

But, barring a recovery and return to power by Chavez, Venezuela’s dependence on Cuba may not last forever.

Sooner or later, Venezuelan leaders will start asking themselves whether, amid growing economic problems at home, they can afford the current oil-for-counseling deal. With declining world oil prices, the answer will most likely be no.

PUBLIC FORUM

Who’s lying?

To the editor: During the “fiscal crisis” dilemma, the U.S. secretary of defense went on record, saying that the automatic cuts to the defense budget would be catastrophic to our national security. The new appointee to that post flatly states the defense budget is bloated and needs to be drastically cut back.

Who’s lying to me now from Washington? It seems that this administration is no different, or better, than any other. They just lie to achieve their means and go about their merry way.

Impeach and fire the bums and start over. There is a quote floating around that says “A little revolution, every now and then, is not such a bad thing.”

Ken Meyer, Lawrence

Elder care To the editor: Nursing home care of the elderly is so expensive that only very affluent families can afford the price.

So, most elderly are forced onto humiliating Medicaid, which provides that one keep $60 a month for personal expenses. However, the state of Rhode Island has a wise law providing salaries to family members who will care for their own elderly at home. This frees

them to resign their other job.

In my 80s and 90s, I have lived in Presbyterian Manor, Babcock, Brandon Woods and now Pioneer Ridge. Only public housing Babcock is affordable to most elderly. But, of course, Babcock does not provide nursing care. Babcock does provide a noon meal on Monday through Friday and is near Dillons grocery store.

In Canadian and European democracies, the state pays for the medical care and hospitalization of its citizens. In those nations, hospitals are publicly owned and operated by medical doctors who are public employees. Unlike the United States, doctors and hospitals are not free to charge whatever they wish.

Nor can private health insurance companies charge exorbitant premiums for medical insurance.

May Congress pass a second health care law.

John A. Bond, Lawrence

Draft opposed To the editor: No disrespect to Mr. Hoeflich or Col. Overstreet, but I think reinstating the draft would be a bad idea. I would agree if our country was invaded, such as was the case in the bombing of Pearl Harbor, then, yes, a national draft would be in order.

However, have we forgotten Vietnam, where 58,000

young Americans, mostly draftees, lost their lives in an unjust, immoral war? They did not die for their country but died due to the stupidity, recklessness and poor judgment of overzealous politicians.

It is morally wrong to force young Americans to lay down their lives for insufficient reason. Unfortunately, war and patriotism have become synonymous.

Sometimes it is a true patriot who condemns war started because of misinformation or bad judgment. If a young man or woman enlists, he or she should be confident that their government is not going to possibly risk their lives unnecessarily. Again, it is unfortunate that history repeats itself and countries continue to start wars for less than adequate reason, under the disguise of national security and patriotism.

Was the war in Iraq necessary?

How many young Americans and innocent Iraqis lost their lives because of misinformation?

There were no weapons of mass destruction and no haven for terrorists. I don’t think reinstating the draft will solve any social problems, bond us together or make us any more patriotic.

My main point is that as long as our country continues to make bad decisions regarding military aggression, a national draft is wrong.

Craig Tucker, Lawrence

At their upcoming meeting, Lawrence city commissioners were to YEARS consider a resoluAGO tion declaring the IN 1988 need to resurface Seventh Street from New Hampshire to New York streets. The city was planning to widen Seventh Street as a preliminary step toward an “Eastern parkway” to connect downtown and Kansas Highway 10.

However, the most controversial topic up for discussion was the proposed amendment to the city’s Human Rights ordinance which would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The Journal-World had received many letters both in support of and in opposition to the amendment, including one today that read in part, “Why should the health and welfare of our entire community be threatened because a few people living in our community have, of their own free moral agency, chosen a lifestyle that is contrary to nature and according to the Bible is immoral?... As health statistics prove, the incidence of AIDS and other sexually related diseases are increasing at terrifying rates among homosexuals. So the gay lifestyle is a threat not only to gays but to the population in general as these diseases spread to the public.”

A branch office of the Social Security Administration was to YEARS open in Lawrence AGO no later than Jan. IN 1973 1, 1974, according to Elmer Iske, district manager in Topeka. The official announcement had been made today by Congressman Larry Winn, Sen. James B. Pearson, and Sen. Bob Dole The formal opening date was to depend on the completion of staff and space arrangements. Iske said today that the staff of eight to 10 persons would come primarily from employees currently working in Topeka.

City commissioners this week were to consider the expenditure of $2,500 to install “a ceramic granular material resembling grass” in the medians at the intersections of 15th and Iowa and 19th and Iowa. Total cost of the reflective greenery was expected to be $5,000, but half of the cost was to be federally funded.

KANSAS 61, BAYLOR 44

Unexpected twist McLemore ankle sprain only minor, Self says

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual basketball beatdown of Baylor in Allen Fieldhouse was interrupted by a scary moment with 2:44 to play.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when freshman sensation Ben McLemore, who turned an ankle while making a cut on the offensive end, crumpled to the floor.

He slammed the floor in frustration, pain and disgust before he limped off to the locker room with the help of team doctors.

McLemore, who scored a game-high 17 points off 7-of13 shooting while playing 34 minutes in the fourth-ranked Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 61-44 victory over the Bears on Monday, suffered a Grade One sprain of the ankle and is listed dayto-day, coach Bill Self told the Journal-World while returning to the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locker room after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ice it, elevate it, treat it and see how he is going forward,â&#x20AC;? Self said after the Jayhawks improved to 10-0 all-time against BU in Allen Fieldhouse, the games decided by an average of 17 points, which was Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s margin of victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He sprained an ankle. I think it scared him as much as anything else. He said he heard a pop, but Bill (Cowgill, trainer) said he checked it out, and he probably just has a sprained ankle, and with a few days off he should be OK. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly hopeful two to three days (maximum missed time),â&#x20AC;? Self added.

McLemoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury certainly put a damper on a game in which KU dominated in improving to 3-0 in the Big 12 and 15-1 overall. Baylor fell to 2-1 in the league and 11-5 overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all were concerned,

KANSAS GUARD TRAVIS RELEFORD COMES AWAY WITH THE BALL as both Baylor center Isaiah Austin and KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamari Traylor (31) lock their arms Please see KANSAS, page 4B around him during the second half. KU beat the Bears, 61-44, on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Scouting report prepared KU well

FANS WATCH AS KANSAS GUARD BEN MCLEMORE is helped to the locker room late in the second half.

On another one of those nights in which the Baylor basketball team look more like a collection of all-stars thrown together at the last minute than like a squad that tries to build chemistry 365 days a year, Kansas University played defense in a way that made it seem as if its players were reading minds.

Baylor called a play, and Kansas looked more sure about the moving parts than the guys running it. Kansas made it that difficult on the visiting team Monday night in a 61-44 victory.

The perimeter was such an uncomfortable place for Baylor that Kansas limited the Bears to .286 three-

point shooting and totaled 10 steals, and the paint was defended even more vigorously. Baylor made just nine of 42 two-point field goals, a .214 shooting percentage.

Five KU players had multiple shot-block totals, and a sixth contributed to the final tally of 13 blocks.

Kansas has a long body an-

chored by quick feet at every position, so it should play strong defense. But more than that enters the equation.

Travis Releford, KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best perimeter defender, offered insight on another factor that had more to do with preparation and alert minds than with physical attributes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to give credit to our assistant coaches for doing a great job on our scouting report on their plays and play-calling,â&#x20AC;?

Releford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a lot of work on that in practice.

Once they called a play, we were all in tune. We knew who was trying to get the ball on certain plays.â&#x20AC;?

That knowledge led to

Kansas making steals in the passing lanes and by knocking the ball away in the lane for steals. It also resulted in purposeful help defense arriving on time.

College basketball coaches armed with three chief assistants assign one man to scout each opponent on a rotating basis. Most programs have each assistant do every third game. Kansas coach Bill Self has his assistants assigned to the same schools year in and year out, regardless of how the schedule falls.

Kurtis Townsend always scouts Baylor.

Armstrong admits to doping AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After a decade of denial, Lance Armstrong has finally come clean: He used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France.

The disgraced cyclist made the confession to Oprah Winfrey during an interview taped Monday, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the interview is to be broadcast Thursday on Winfreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network.

The admission Monday came hours after an emotional apology by Armstrong to the Livestrong charity that he founded and took global on the strength of his celebrity as a cancer survivor who came back to win one of sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most grueling events.

The confession was a stunning reversal, after years of public statements, interviews and court battles in which he denied doping and zealously protected his reputation.

Winfrey tweeted afterward, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just wrapped with (at) lancearmstrong More than 2 1/2 hours. He came READY!â&#x20AC;?

She was scheduled to appear on â&#x20AC;&#x153;CBS This Morningâ&#x20AC;? today to discuss the interview.

Even before the taping session with Winfrey began around 2 p.m., EST, Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apology suggested he would carry through on promises over the weekend to answer her questions â&#x20AC;&#x153;directly, honestly and candidly.â&#x20AC;?

The cyclist was stripped of his Tour de France titles, lost most of his endorsements and was forced to leave the foundation last year after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued a damning, 1,000-page report that accused him of masterminding a long-running doping scheme.

Armstrong

Winfrey

About 100 staff members of the charity Armstrong founded in 1997 gathered in a conference room as Armstrong arrived with a simple message: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry.â&#x20AC;?

He choked up during a 20-minute talk, expressing regret for the long-running controversy tied to performance-enhancers had caused, but stopped short of admitting he used them.

Before he was done, several members were in tears when he urged them to continue the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission, helping cancer patients and their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heartfelt and sincere,â&#x20AC;? is how Livestrong spokesman Katherine McLane described his speech.

Armstrong later huddled with almost a dozen people before stepping into a room set up at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview.

The group included close friends and advisers, two of his lawyers and Bill Stapleton, his agent, manager and business partner. They exchanged handshakes and smiles, but declined comment when approached by a reporter. Most members of that group left the hotel through the front entrance around 5 p.m., although Armstrong was not with them.

No further details about the interview were available immediately because of confidentiality agreements signed by both camps. But Winfrey promoted it as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;no-holds barredâ&#x20AC;? session,

and after the voluminous USADA report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which included testimony from 11 former teammates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she had plenty of material for questions. USADA chief executive Travis Tygart, a longtime critic of Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, called the drug regimen practiced while Armstrong led the U.S. Postal Service team, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.â&#x20AC;?

Armstrong also went after his critics ruthlessly during his reign as cycling champion.

He scolded some in public and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race itself.

He waged legal battles against still others in court.

Betsy Andreu, the wife of former Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, was one of the first to publicly accuse Armstrong of using performanceenhancing drugs. She called news of Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confession â&#x20AC;&#x153;very emotional and very sad,â&#x20AC;? and got choked up as well when asked to comment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He used to be one of my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friends and because he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go along with the doping, he got kicked to the side. Lance could have a positive impact if he tells the truth on everything. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be completely honest,â&#x20AC;? she said.

At least one of his opponents, the London-based Sunday Times, has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny Armstrong a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring yet another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million an arbitration panel awarded the cyclist in that dispute.

In addition, former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped

Louisville ascends to No. 1 in AP poll

of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, has filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit that accused Armstrong of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service. The Justice Department has yet to decide whether it will join the suit as a plaintiff.

The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a confession might be the Sunday Times case.

Potential perjury charges stemming from Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during the federal investigation that was closed last year.

Armstrong is said to be worth around $100 million. But most sponsors dropped him after USADAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scathing report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at the cost of tens of millions of dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and soon after, he left the board of Livestrong.

After the USADA findings, he was also barred from competing in the elite triathlon or running events he participated in after his cycling career. World AntiDoping Code rules state his lifetime ban cannot be reduced to less than eight years. WADA and U.S. Anti-Doping officials could agree to reduce the ban further depending on what information Armstrong provides and his level of cooperation.

Whether his confession would begin to heal those ruptures and restore that reputation remains to be seen.

Diagnosed with testicular cancer in October 1996, the disease soon spread to his lungs and brains. Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors gave him a 40 percent chance of survival at the time and never expected heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d compete at anything more strenuous than gin rummy. Winning the demanding race less than three years later made Armstrong a hero.

Louisville, taking advantage of weekend losses by Duke and Michigan, is No. 1 in The Associated Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; college basketball poll.

This is just the second time the Cardinals have the top ranking. They were No. 1 in the final poll of the 2008-09 season.

Louisville (15-1) moved up from No. 3. The Cardinals have won 10 straight games since losing to Duke in the championship game of the Battle 4 Atlantis.

In a poll with five teams receiving first-place votes, Louisville was No. 1 on 36 ballots from the 65-member national media panel Monday. Indiana, which jumped from fifth to No. 2, drew 13 first-place votes.

Duke, which dropped two spots to third, had 14.

No. 4 Kansas and No. 5 Michigan, which had been second, each got one first-place vote.

Oregon, VCU, UCLA and Marquette joined the poll this week.

Serena survives scare, wins opener at Australian MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Serena Williams tumbled to the court and needed a medical timeout in the first set for treatment on her right ankle. Once she got up, it was all over for Edina Gallovits-Hall.

Williams routed Gallovits-Hall 6-0, 6-0 in the first round of the Australian Open earlier today despite the scary sequence in the first part of the match.

The No. 3-ranked Williams is favored to win the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first major, rolling into Melbourne Park with 35 wins in her previous 36 matches, including titles at Wimbledon, the London Olympics and the U.S. Open. But the injury could be a significant setback as she seeks a third consecutive Grand Slam title.

Williams said there was pain and swelling in her ankle and X-rays were an option, but she wanted to leave any decisions about treatment for a few hours.

Defending champion Victoria Azarenka also advanced, overcoming a wobble in the second set to beat Monica Niculescu 6-1, 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena. Andy Murray won his first match as a Grand Slam champion, beating Robin Haase of the Netherlands in straight sets.

TCU QB Pachall returns to team FORT WORTH, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former TCU quarterback Casey Pachall has completed substanceabuse rehabilitation and returned to the team.

Coach Gary Patterson says Pachall took part in team meetings Sunday, a day before school resumed.

Pachall, a junior, threw for 948 yards with 10

touchdowns and one interception in TCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first four games last season. He was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, and on Oct. 9 the school said Pachall was leaving TCU for treatment. A year ago, Pachall admitted to police that he smoked marijuana and failed a team-administered drug test.

Patterson said the door would be open for Pachall to return following rehab.

The Horned Frogs finished 7-6. Michigan State beat TCU 17-16 in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.

Dorsey gets ‘dream job’ KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — John Dorsey called becoming the general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs the “perfect storm.” The word “serendipity” may have been more appropriate.

The longtime Packers personnel man met his wife, Patricia, on a blind date orchestrated by former Chiefs executive Lamonte Winston several years ago. Patricia had attended Kansas University and lived in Kansas City, and Dorsey remembers being smitten by her.

“I’ll be honest with you, the moment I met her, I knew I’d marry her. That’s the truth,” he said. “And I could see that she didn’t walk away from me, so that was good.”

Dorsey was also smitten

by Kansas City.

Even though he played for the Packers during the 1980s, and got his start in their scouting department, he still considered the Chiefs his “dream job.”

So when chairman Clark Hunt called looking for a replacement for the fired Scott Pioli, Dorsey couldn’t turn down the chance.

Dorsey was officially introduced as the Chiefs’ new general manager Monday.

“I was like, ‘If this could possibly work out, would we be at peace with this whole thing?’” Dorsey said. “Once Trish was at peace with it, and I was at peace with it, that was a good thing. And then we had to make sure Clark Hunt said yes. And my gosh, when he said yes, I looked right at her, and I said, ‘You would not believe what that phone call just was.’”

It was the culmination of more than two decades of work in Green Bay, where Dorsey was instrumental in putting together drafts that helped the Packers win nine division championships, three conference titles and Super Bowls in 1996 and 2010.

“I didn’t know a lot about him other than his reputation,” Hunt said. “I

can’t tell you how excited he was. He said, ‘This is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for.’”

Dorsey takes over a team that was 2-14 last season, the worst finish in franchise history and tied for the worst record in the NFL. There are problems at quarterback, holes up and down the roster and several top players about to become free agents.

But he also inherits a franchise that will have the No. 1 pick for the first time, and that has plenty of salary cap space to begin plugging all those holes.

“We would like to be consistently competitive in this division, this conference and ultimately the Super Bowl. That’s why we’re here, to do the job,” Dorsey said. “I’m going to do everything within my God-given ability to make sure we have a competitive team in the NFL.” Dorsey will have final say over all personnel matters, but he’ll likely get plenty of input from new coach Andy Reid, whom he worked with in Green Bay during the 1990s.

The former Eagles coach was introduced as

Romeo Crennel’s replacement a week ago.

“I’m happy to work with John again,” Reid said.

“I’ve known John for a long time, and I have a lot of respect for him. He’s a talented individual with a strong work ethic.”

He’s also a “people person,” Hunt said, someone who can bridge divides.

Hunt interviewed Dorsey for about six hours last Tuesday. The discussions continued for several days before Dorsey, who had bypassed other GM overtures in the past, finally decided to move into the hot seat in Kansas City.

“In his interview, although it went on for a while, he showed a high degree of enthusiasm the whole way,” Hunt said, “which showed to me that Kansas City was a priority for him.”

Dorsey said he spent an hour with the personnel staff Monday, and that his next order of business is to evaluate the current roster. He wants to meet with the coaching staff to discuss their philosophy, and then outline a plan for free agency and begin meeting about the draft.

The draft, of course, is

where Dorsey burnished his reputation.

He began his career as a college scout in Green Bay, and later rose to director of college scouting.

During his years with the Packers, Dorsey helped to scout and draft quarterback Aaron Rodgers, defensive tackle B.J. Raji, linebackers Clay Matthews and A.J. Hawk, and wide receivers Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings and Randall Cobb.

“John has been a loyal member of the Packers family and the Green Bay community for more than half of his life,” Packers GM Ted Thompson said in a statement. “The Chiefs have hired a good man, and John has earned this opportunity.”

Dorsey didn’t get into details about what the next few months will hold for the Chiefs, though there are several personnel decisions that must be made soon.

Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and left tackle Branden Albert are among several key players who can become free agents, and could potentially be franchised.

Autopsy: Chiefs’ Belcher drunk KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit when he shot his girlfriend nine times and then killed himself in front of his coach and general manager, an autopsy released Monday showed.

The Jackson County Medical Examiner report on Belcher, 25, raised new questions about whether police should have done more before the Dec. 1 murder-suicide. Officers found Belcher sleeping in his idling car about five hours earlier, but let him go inside a nearby apartment to sleep it off.

At the time of the autopsy, Belcher’s BAC was 0.17, more than twice the limit of 0.08 percent for Missouri drivers, and it was likely higher when he shot girlfriend Kasandra Perkins, 22, at the couple’s Kansas City home.

A police report released previously said Belcher

NEW KANSAS CITY CHIEFS GENERAL MANAGER JOHN DORSEY SPEAKS at a news conference Monday in Kansas City, Mo.

had gone out the night before with a woman he was dating on the side while Perkins attended a concert with her friends.

Police who found Belcher sleeping in his Bentley outside the woman’s apartment told him to turn off the ignition and he complied, the report said.

The report said Belcher “initially displayed possible signs of being under the influence (asleep and disoriented).” But the report added that after a few minutes of being awake his “demeanor and communication became more fluid and coherent.” The report added that officers didn’t smell alcohol on Belcher and that there were no signs of him being “violent or emotionally unstable.”

Under both city ordinance and state law, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while intoxicated, city prosecutor Lowell C. Gard said in an email. He

said a vehicle doesn’t need to be in motion for it to be determined that the person behind the wheel was operating it.

“Operation has been defined in Missouri courts to include a wide range of activity, including sitting behind the wheel of a parked car with the engine running, and sitting alone behind the wheel of a parked car with a warm, but shut off, engine,” Gard wrote. “However, problems of proof arise when the arresting officer must provide evidence of that operation contemporaneous with intoxication.”

Kansas City police Sgt. Marisa Barnes said in an email she wasn’t aware of anyone being disciplined over the case. Even if they were, she said, she wouldn’t be able to discuss it.

Belcher asked the officers who found him if he could stay inside the apartment for the night. Belcher tried to call his girlfriend,

but she didn’t discover the missed calls until the next morning. Two women who were up late invited Belcher to wait inside their nearby apartment after he explained his plight.

They said Belcher “appeared to be intoxicated” but “seemed to be in good spirits,” the police report said.

Belcher slept on their couch for a few hours, leaving at 6:45 a.m. so he could make it to a team meeting planned for later that morning.

Upon arriving at the home he shared with Perkins, the couple began arguing. Belcher’s mother, Cheryl Shepherd, who had moved in with them about two weeks earlier, heard multiple gunshots and ran to the bedroom, where she saw Belcher kneeling next to Perkins’ body, saying he was sorry. The autopsy report says Perkins was shot in the neck, chest, abdomen, hip, back, leg and hand.

Getting diagnosed with a torn medial collateral ligament doesn’t seem like a pleasant way to spend one’s afternoon, but Free State High girls basketball senior Kennedy Kirkpatrick was overjoyed Monday when she received that news.

The Firebirds’ leader and a Bowling Green State University signee, Kirkpatrick injured her left knee Friday night in a home loss against Olathe Northwest.

The pain she felt the moment she was hurt led Kirkpatrick to think the injury could be seasonending. But Monday, after visiting a doctor, she found out she had partially torn her left MCL and no surgery was required. The 5-foot-10 shooting guard just has to refrain from basketball activities for a week and wear a brace on her knee.

“Not too bad,” she said of the diagnosis after watching Monday’s Free State practice.

If the timing goes as planned, Kirkpatrick will return to practice Jan. 21 and be able to play Jan. 24 in the first round of the Firebird Winter Classic. That would mean the only game she would miss is tonight’s home date against Kansas City (Kan.) Washington — tipoff at 7.

FSHS coach Bryan Duncan received the good news Monday afternoon via phone call from Kirkpatrick’s mother, Janette, before Kennedy told all of her teammates.

“Obviously, everyone’s very happy for her and for our team,” Duncan said.

The coach joked the timing of the injury was perfect because the Firebirds (5-3) would only be without their leading scorer for one game.

“In all seriousness, we still want to be cautious,” Duncan said, “and as a coach you want to make sure that we don’t damage that (knee) worse.”

He added no one wants to rush Kirkpatrick back or have her take any unnecessary risks.

BRIEFLY LHS girls idle tonight after all A scheduling mix-up led to the cancellation of today’s Lawrence High girls basketball road game, and though the Lions thought they found a home game to replace it, that won’t happen, either.

Lions coach Nick Wood said his team won’t make the trip to Kansas City (Kan.) Schlagle today as originally planned due to a snafu that became apparent within the past couple of days.

Initially, it appeared as though LHS (1-6) had found another program to fill the suddenly open date on its schedule. The Lions announced Monday afternoon they would play host to Topeka West tonight.

As it turns out, that game won’t be played — at least not today. Wood received word from Topeka West officials Monday evening that the school didn’t have transportation available.

As of now, the game between Lawrence and Topeka West will be rescheduled and played at a not yet determined date.

Louisville tops UConn in first game at No. 1 HARTFORD, CONN. (AP) — Louisville waited 20 minutes to prove the Cardinals deserved the No. 1 ranking.

It took the same amount of time for their guards to show they could be the best backcourt in the country even when they don’t spend all that much time together on the court.

Russ Smith had 23 points and Peyton Siva managed 11 in a foulplagued 22 minutes and the Cardinals, playing just hours after they moved to

the top of the poll, beat Connecticut 73-58 on Monday night.

The Cardinals (16-1, 4-0 Big East) won their 11th straight game and like the others they relied on their star backcourt and pressure defense.

Siva, the conference preseason Player of the Year, picked up his second foul just 3:47 into the game. Not only did the Cardinals lose a veteran leader when the senior went out but Smith, the leading scorer at 18.7

points per game, had to assume more of a role in running the offense.

It didn’t hurt his scoring much, though, as he had 15 points on 7-of-13 shooting as Connecticut took a 3428 halftime lead.

Siva picked up his third foul with 14:21 to play in the game and he returned to the bench. When he came back in the game with 10 minutes left, Smith went to the bench for treatment.

Siva hit a 3-pointer 50 seconds later as part of the game-changing 19-5 run.

“We did a good job of weathering a Peyton Siva storm, with him out,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. “Once he came back and we weathered that storm, we were able to play much better defense and much better offense.”

That is an understatement.

The pressure defense that drops into a matchup zone forced Connecticut into turnover after turnover and when the Huskies did get to shoot it was almost always a miss.

“They deserve the No. BOX SCORE 1 ranking,” Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie said. No. 1 Louisville 73, UConn 58 (16-1) “They have talent.

KANSAS GUARD TRAVIS RELEFORD (24) KNOCKS THE BALL AWAY from Baylor guard Pierre Jackson during the first half. KU beat the Bears, 61-44, on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Bears: We didn’t play our game today

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Baylor’s men’s basketball players found different ways to bemoan their poor offensive performance following a 61-44 loss to fourth-ranked Kansas University on Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse.

“We weren’t going strong to the basket like we should’ve, like we usually do,” Baylor senior guard A.J. Walton said.

“We didn’t play our game today. We played their game,” admitted freshman center Isaiah Austin.

“I thought Kansas re-

ally did a great job defensively,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said. “All year long, we’ve been a lot better with the ball, and that’s the most disappointing thing.”

Whether it was a lack of tenacity, an absence of style or coughing it up too many times that caused Monday’s madness for the Bears, one statistic spelled out just how bad things were.

The Bears’ 23.2-percent shooting from the floor was their worst field-goal performance since at least 1997-98. BU’s worst effort in that time was 24.5-percent shooting in a 49-46 loss to UMKC in 1998.

“Defense wasn’t played at the free-throw line, and we still shot 60 percent there,” Drew said of his team’s 14-of23 showing at the freethrow line. “We’ve got to do a better job shooting the ball.”

Although the Bears (115 overall, 3-1 Big 12) pinpointed plenty of reasons for their off night, they made sure to give credit to the Kansas defense, which KU coach Bill Self called “exceptional.”

The Jayhawks blocked 13 shots, 10 in the first half, dominated 38-14 in points in the paint and held Baylor sharpshooter Brady

advantage for the Kansas defense came inside, where KU center Jeff Withey, the man regarded by many as the nation’s best shot blocker, invited others to his block party. Withey still led the team, with three, but Jamari Traylor (three), Kevin Young (two), Ben McLemore (two), Perry Ellis (two) and Travis Releford (one) joined in on the fun.

“I was surprised by that,” Drew said of KU’s success protecting the rim. “With our size and length, we block a lot of shots, and we practice against good shot-blockers. So normally, when we

play against shot-blockers, it’s not that big of an adjustment.”

The Bears are now just 3-19 all-time against KU (15-1, 3-0) and 0-11 in games played in Lawrence.

“We knew that the home court was going to be to the advantage of Kansas,” freshman forward Rico Gathers said. “I knew it’s one of the toughest places to play in college basketball and all of basketball.

I already knew what to expect. But, defensively, I felt the home-court advantage played to their side. We’re in their place, so we knew we weren’t gonna get calls anyway.”

but I think he’s going to be all right,” said KU freshman forward Perry Ellis, who scored six points off 3-of-9 shooting. Ellis had seven rebounds in 21 minutes.

“I just talked to him in the locker room. He was doing all right (icing the ankle 45 minutes after the game). I think he’s going to be all right,” Ellis added.

Senior Elijah Johnson, who scored 12 points with one assist against two turnovers, outplayed fellow Las Vegas native Pierre Jackson, who scored 10 points off 2-of-12 shooting with four assists and four turnovers.

“My heart dropped,” Johnson said of seeing McLemore get hurt. “You see somebody who works as hard as Ben, you don’t want to see something bad happen to him. He’s all right. He panicked more than anything, which happens a lot of times.”

The story of Monday’s game was defense.

BU’s 44 points were the fewest a KU team has allowed in a conference game since the Jayhawks held Nebraska to 39 points on Feb. 17, 2007, in Lawrence. KU held the Bears to 23.2 percent shooting. It marked the lowest opponent shooting percentage of the season and lowest since KU held Howard to 22.2 percent shooting on Dec. 29, 2011. According to KU officials, it also was, the lowest percentage by a Big 12 opponent and lowest by a conference

Heslip scoreless on just three shots in 17 minutes.

There’s more.

Baylor tied a seasonlow with 20 points in the first half and set season lows for points (44), assists (six) and field-goal percentage while committing the second-most turnovers (16) they had all season.

“Sometimes that happens,” Austin said. “Tonight was very physical. It’s the Big 12, the most physical conference out there.

That’s what we expected when we came here.”

And that’s exactly what they got.

“We played terrific,” Self said. “If we had just gotten back in transition ... it says (on stat sheet) they only got seven transition points, but it seemed like we challenged them way too much in the backcourt, and they got behind us.

Jackson is so good and puts so much pressure on you, but he kind of deferred in the second half.

“I thought we did a good job of guarding them. We were so aggressive. We had 10 blocked shots at half (Withey had three of KU’s 13 total blocks; Jamari Traylor also had three) and several strips.

In the second half, we kind of played a little more contained. I know they missed some good looks, but they didn’t get as many as maybe some other teams have gotten on us. That’s probably as well as we’ve guarded in a while.”

KU forced 16 turnovers while committing 14.

“We did a really good job stripping and raking

and trying to do those kind of things,” Self said.

Of point guard Johnson’s play in a game against Preseason Player of the Year Jackson, Self said: “He played well.

Naadir (Tharpe, two points, 1-for-6 shooting, three turnovers) has struggled the last couple games. But he was so good early. We’ll get him back.

Perry was as aggressive as he’s been all year long, and still yet, he’s a terrific shooter and didn’t shoot it well tonight. There are so many things we can do to improve, but guys were locked in defensively, and if the other team can’t score, you’re probably going to be very successful.”

McLemore scored eight points, and eight KU players scored the first half as the Jayhawks led, 33-20, at the break.

The Jayhawks used an 8-0 run to stretch a 23-18 lead at 5:31 to 31-18 at 2:51.

NOTEBOOK

Big 12 honors McLemore

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman guard Ben McLemore was named Big 12 player of the week, the conference announced Monday.

The 6-foot-5 St. Louis native averaged 21.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in two victories last week — 9789 in overtime against Iowa State and 60-46 at Texas Tech.

McLemore scored 33 points off 10-of-12 shooting, including 6-of-6 from three, against ISU. He was 7-of-7 from the line. He scored 13 of KU’s final 23 points in the final seven minutes, including the game-tying three-pointer with 1.3 seconds remaining to send the contest to overtime. He had 10 points in Saturday’s victory at Tech.

For the week, McLemore made 63.2 percent of his field goals, 60 percent of his shots beyond the arc and 86.7 percent of his free throws.

Iowa State freshman forward Georges Niang, who scored 13 points at KU on Wednesday, including the team’s first eight points, was chosen as the league’s rookie of the week.

“The thing about it is, when you’ve been in the league a long time, over the years you get a pretty good feel for the teams, and I think they had a pretty good feel for us,” Self said.

It didn’t look as if Baylor knew what was coming. The different levels of discipline in the program extend to all areas, and it’s obvious when they play each other.

“I think that’s pretty important when you’re playing a team on an hour of practice, 40 minutes of practice, because those Saturday-Monday games, there’s not much time for guys to work on it on the court,” Self said of scouting. “Most of the stuff’s

KANSAS GUARD BEN MCLEMORE SWINGS OFF THE RIM after a dunk against Baylor during the second half. done through talking and through film.”

Self and Baylor coach Scott Drew are in their 10th seasons at their schools. Drew has elevated the Baylor program a great deal by bringing in far better athletes than the school used to land. But that seldom seems to matter when the Bears face Kansas.

“The one good thing is, I’ve been here so long, and I’ve had Baylor the whole time, and he (Drew) has been here the whole time,” Townsend said of sharing his Baylor scouting report with the players on such a quick turnaround.

Townsend said his last scouting report was Ameri-

can, two weeks ago, and he started working on Baylor right after that game, studying film of the Bears’ most recent 10 games.

“You try to pick out calls and see if they’re doing anything different,” Townsend said.

The short turnaround results in a less extensive report shared with the players.

“You really simplify it,” Townsend said. “Coach is the best at saying, ‘Pick seven or eight of the actions they do most, and let’s just make sure our guys know those pretty well.’ Luckily, we had play calls on them so we would call out what they were running, and our guys knew where their shots were coming from.”

Having four seniors in the starting lineup helps.

“The veterans are better,” Townsend said. “The younger guys don’t pick it

we had a great staff. After those two games everyone got to see how good our staff is. If anything, whenever you are away from something, you are just that much more happy to be back and excited to be back. I’m pleased with the conference start we’ve had because every conference win is a good one.”

He said watching without coaching responsibilities proved valuable.

“It does (help) from the standpoint you are not so consumed with the substitutions and players’ emotions and everything else and able to just analyze the game,” he said. “At the same time, I made the mistake of going to the treadmill watching the second half of the Texas game 8679 win). That game went into overtime. The next day I couldn’t walk, I was so sore being on the treadmill that long. That was the lesson learned from that one. I thought it would help with things. The next day it didn’t,” he added, laughing.

KU nets one No. 1 vote: KU, which was ranked fourth in the country on Monday, received one first-place vote — from best-selling author and GolfChannel and ESPN regular John Feinstein.

Sports Illustrated’s Seth Davis was the lone voter to rank KU second.

“Kansas has the most impressive win of the year: At Ohio State, as Michigan found out,” Feinstein told the Journal-World’s Tom Keegan in an email exchange. “Bunch of oneloss teams. I give them the edge because of that.”

Keegan ranked KU third. Louisville is first, Indiana second, Duke third and KU fourth.

Feinstein has written several best-selling sports book, the most famous “A Season on the Brink,” an all-access look at a season of Indiana basketball under Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight.

In favor of Big Monday: KU coach Bill Self likes playing on ESPN Big Monday even with a quick turnaround. KU won at Texas Tech on Saturday and played Baylor two days later.

“I think it’s the best way to showcase our league each and every week. I think the players enjoy it.

I’m sure all players across the league do,” Self said.

“The two-day turnaround ... we’ve done it a lot. This is the first time this team has done it. Whenever you play a team that does multiple things and only have about an hour of practice, it always makes it nervous for a coach. That’s the case when you play Saturday and then a Monday. It only gives you about an hour in which your teams actually

Ryan Robertson, Wayne Drew is back: Baylor Simien, Chase Buford, coach Scott Drew missed Matt Kleinmann and Jorthe first two games of the dan Juenemann attended conference season before Monday’s game.

returning to the bench for Stats, facts: KU’s 13 Saturday’s game against blocks equaled Baylor’s TCU. He served a two-game field goal total of 13 made suspension to open league baskets. ... KU has scored play as part of self-imposed 121 points over the past sanctions for NCAA rules two games, the fewest in violations announced last a two-game stretch since April. Drew was cited for Jan. 19 and 22 of 2009 rules violations involving when KU scored 59 points excessive phone calls to and 62 points against Neprospects. Assistant Je- braska and Villanova, rome Tang directed the respectively. ... KU’s 10 Bears to victories over blocks in the first half are the most by a Jayhawk Texas and Texas Tech.

up as quickly, but they’re starting to listen to the scout better. Perry (Ellis) and Jamari (Traylor), they’re both getting better. Naadir (Tharpe) was here last year, so he’s getting it. The older guys, they know exactly what’s coming, and they’ve done a great job of bringing the young kids along.”

Having a strong contingent of veterans who as younger players see upperclassmen pay such close attention to scouting reports helps sustain the defensive success that always has been a staple of Self’s programs.

Stability on the coaching staff helps for a variety of reasons as well. For one thing, as Townsend referenced, it makes each coach more familiar with his schools, at least until a coaching turnover takes place. Townsend is in his eighth season at Kansas under Self, Joe Dooley his

ninth. Norm Roberts has worked for Self at Oral Roberts, Tulsa, Illinois and twice at Kansas, his stints interrupted by a head-coaching assignment at St. John’s.

“Joe’s had the biggest games so far this year,” Townsend said of Dooley, who didn’t look as if he enjoyed watching Tharpe have an atypical night of decision-making Monday. “He had Ohio State, Temple and Michigan State because he’s scouted them before and is familiar with them.”

What happens when the same assistant is responsible for preparing the scouting report backto-back games?

“We just start working on them ahead of time,” Townsend said.

Self’s system works.

Kansas has held opponents to .342 shooting and .312 three-point shooting.

COMMENTARY

Gonzalez gets big win, finally

By Tim Dahlberg Associated Press Columnist

The old pro was on the sideline, resigned to the fact that this would turn out like so many games of the past. In the 16 years Tony Gonzalez has played tight end in the NFL, so many seasons ended early that he couldn’t expect this one to be any different.

If football is a cruel game, it had been even crueler to Gonzalez.

No matter what he did, no matter how well he played, the end result always seemed to be the same.

He might be the greatest tight end in the history of the game. But he’s never played in a Super Bowl, never even gotten to a conference championship game.

Incredibly, he had never been on a winning playoff team, something that was on his mind as Marshawn Lynch scored on a 2-yard run with 31 seconds left to put the Seattle Seahawks on the verge of a stunning comeback win against the Atlanta Falcons.

Even worse was the thought that this game would almost surely be his last. Gonzalez isn’t doing a Ray Lewis retirement tour, but he gave every indication all season long that he would be doing something different on Sundays next year.

“I guess this is it,” Gonzalez thought as he stood watching the final seconds. “Going out with a heartbreaking loss.”

Not just yet he isn’t.

Not after collecting himself enough to run a perfect route and make the catch that set up a last-second winning field goal by Matt Bryant to give the Falcons a 30-28 win.

Instead of moving out, he’s moving on. The Falcons are a game away from the Super Bowl, and if Lewis can fire up the Baltimore Ravens with his pending departure, maybe the Falcons can take some inspiration from a veteran so overcome by what happened that he cried.

“I’m just so happy right now I can’t explain it,” Gonzalez said. “This is playoff football at its best.”

Interesting that Gonzalez could even recognize it. For years he played on teams in Kansas City that made the playoffs only occasionally and once there never won a game. Then he hooked up with the Falcons, only to be on the losing end of playoff games the last two seasons, neither of which he played particularly well.

He began making up for all that on Sunday by balancing precariously in the back of the end zone in the first quarter for the first Atlanta touchdown of the day. But it was the 19-yard catch up the middle when nothing but a catch would save the Falcons with 14 seconds left that might end up being the defining moment of his brilliant career.

No heartbreaker this time. The big guy finally had a big win.

“Probably the best catch I’ve ever had, even though it was one of the easiest,” Gonzalez said.

“Matt put it on my chest.

It’s the most important catch I’ve had in my life.

I’ll never forget it.”

The Seahawks probably won’t either. They had to figure the Falcons were going to the man quarterback Matt Ryan calls Mr. Reliable when they needed it the most, yet they could do little against a perfectly run route that gave Ryan just the window he needed to squeeze a throw in.

choose to turn a deaf ear or get counseling on your own. However, if his accusations become more strident or more frequent, this could indicate mental health or medical issues, and he should see his doctor.

Dear Annie: I recently made a new friend at work. We have known each other for three months, and we get along great. However, imagine my surprise last week when she told me she used my first name on an online dating site.

At first I just thought it was a little weird, but now I feel really uncomfortable about it and don’t know what to do.

How can I get her to change her online profile without ruining our work relationship? — Miffed

Dear Not: Your husband sounds overly suspicious. We don’t mean to add to the problem, but sometimes those who are having affairs accuse the spouse of the same offense. Tell your husband that his continuing accusations undermine your trust and make you wonder what is really going on.

‘Presidents’ borders on frenetic

Try making a documentary without footage. That’s always been the bane of the filmmaker covering a historical period that predates motion pictures. Ken Burns offered a nifty solution with his patented panning and zooming of old photographs in “The Civil War” and other series.

The eight-part series “The Ultimate Guide to the Presidents” (8 p.m., History) takes the use of period illustration and two-dimensional renderings to new, overcaffeinated extremes. “Presidents” opens with a thundering score that sounds a bit like the theme to “Game of Thrones.” We see reenactments of cannons firing, soldiers shooting and other macho stuff.

Dudes, this ain’t history for sissies!

Once it settles down to discussing the presidents, one administration at a time, “Presidents” makes an almost manic use of old imagery, conflating them into mini dioramas accompanied by loud, bombastic, faux Wagnerian music reminiscent of vintage “NFL Highlights” scores. It’s as if their purpose is to keep viewers awake during all that dry academic stuff. ‘‘Presidents” deserves credit for inviting a wide range of scholars and historians to discuss each chief executive. At times, the PBS folks seem intent on convincing us there are four working historians in America: Michael Beschloss, David McCullough, Doris Kearns Goodwin and a player to be named later. “Presidents” expands upon this monopoly and has found some genuinely telegenic talking heads. One expert from the University of Texas has movie-star good looks, and a historian from Yale is dynamic and attractive. We history nerds don’t need much to keep us interested, History Channel. You can turn down the volume! ‘‘The Ultimate Guide to the Presidents” will air at 8 nightly through Friday.

Tonight’s other highlights:

“Pioneers of Television” (7 p.m., PBS) profiles female comedians, from Phyllis Diller to Tina Fey.

The stories of Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, John Brown and Harriet Beecher Stowe intersect on “The Abolitionists: American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS).

Mindy hosts a demanding sleepover guest on “The Mindy Project” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

Joel and Julia mull their options on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC).

“Africa” (9 p.m., Discovery) explores the continent’s savannah region, rich in exotic wildlife.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Jan. 15: This year you develop a new hobby or interest. Though you might have flirted with the idea of trying this pastime before, it wasn’t until recently that you decided to become informed on the subject.

If you are single, you have a unique opportunity to enrich your inner circle and meet someone very different. If you are attached, as a couple, you will socialize more and share more with each other.

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) Your responses could be instinctual. Embrace them, and they will guide you through a sticky situation. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Zero in on the possibilities that surround a friendship.

Though you could be distracted, do not miss a scheduled meeting.

Tonight: Not alone.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Deal with people directly.

As uncomfortable as you might be, you’ll be able to visualize a new situation that could be better for you.

Tonight: Chat with a trusted friend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Your ability to see past the obvious usually kicks in when that skill is needed. Though others still might act dominant, you’ll feel as if their suggestions or plans are on target. Tonight: Try something different.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You will be in sync with a key person in your life. You might have been wondering which way to go in a very intense matter. Tonight:

only your first name and the rest of her information is her own, it’s annoying but not compromising. However, the fact that she would do this without consulting you indicates that she could easily take other liberties down the road, so you are smart to nip this in the bud.

Be nice but honest.

Say, “Dottie, remember when you said you used my first name on your dating profile? It really made me uncomfortable. And prospective dates don’t like that sort of thing, either. Please change it immediately.”

If she is the type who would end a friendship over this, consider it a bullet dodged.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might have mixed feelings about a situation. Listen to your instincts. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. On some level, the thoughts running through your mind might distract you from the here and now. Tonight: To the wee hours.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to handle a situation in a more creative way. You still need to keep those involved in the loop. Tonight: Time for some healthy play or exercise.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) An investment opportunity comes forward, and you might feel as if you have no choice but to take a risk. The issue revolves around a personal and/or a real-estate matter. Tonight: Head home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to think through an offer that easily could be too good to be true. Share your thoughts with a trusted adviser and friend. Tonight: Hang with a friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be overtired and withdrawn. You might need some personal time, if you can take it. Tonight: Take a hard look at your budget.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) A friend or loved one whispers information in your ear.

This person feels that these facts are important for you to know. Tonight: Make yourself happy.

Dear Annie: I used to travel a fair amount for my job. These trips included lunches and dinners with my coworkers, sometimes in groups, sometimes not.

At no time did I ever have the faintest interest in having an affair. But my husband thinks otherwise.

During the entire time I traveled, he constantly accused me of sleeping with “somebody.”
