City takes steps to change trash system

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Mandated city trash carts: Lawrence leaders are betting you’re going to like them better than you think.

Lawrence city commission-

ers at their Tuesday meeting took another step toward creating a trash system that will require residents to use special city trash carts instead of cans or bags, and they said they’re confident residents will grow to love the carts.

“This change will be diffi-

Tuesday, but they indicated a system requiring the use of city-issued trash carts is likely. Commissioners directed staff members to prepare a report on how the city could implement a cart system.

City officials pointed to a survey done by the city of

Olathe that found residents there had many concerns alleviated about the plastic carts once they began using them. For example, before the carts were issued, 69 percent were concerned they Please see TRASH, page 2A

LEAP YEAR BABY NEVA GREGORY is pictured Tuesday with her Chihuahua, Bella, next to her chalkboard closet door, which she has dedicated in large part to her own birthday, Feb. 29. Gregory says she likes to tell people she is turning 3 instead of 12 when they ask how old she will be.

Leap year babies just can’t get enough of today

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

On a chalkboard wall inside Neva Gregory’s bedroom closet is a countdown to her birthday, a date she has been looking forward to far longer than the 57 days that are already marked off.

“This birthday is just a little bit cooler because I have been waiting for it for four years,” Neva said. “So I’m really, really excited.”

“It’s really awesome, because when I’m really old, in my 90s, I’m going to be like 24,” Neva said.

“It is special,” said Paris Spotted Tail,

Kansan’s dog claims win at Westminster

By Melissa Treolo mtreolo@theworldco.info

An outgoing, easily excitable Shawnee resident who loves attention and weighs about 40 pounds isn’t quite able to put into words how it feels to be a winner.

Journey, a 3-year-old Keeshond dog who has been participating in dog shows since he was 6 months old, has other ways of expressing himself, owner Kelli Denton said.

“He definitely lights up,” said Kelli, a senior at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School. “And when there’s applause, he just gets so excited.

And when he wins, he jumps up and tries to grab the ribbon from me.”

Together, Journey and Kelli have won a number of awards during Journey’s time as a show dog, but this month they took home their most prestigious award to date: a Best of Breed win at the 136th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York.

Though they didn’t make it all the way to the Best in Show portion of the competition, which determines the top dogs in the country, their win earned them an opportunity to compete in the groups portion, which is televised each year on cable channels such as USA Network.

That was the first Westminster win for both Journey and Kelli, who has been to West-

She said no show comes close to the Westminster experience.

“It’s a little breathtaking to be around so many people,” said Kelli, who has been showing dogs since she was 9 years old.

“It’s absolutely packed full of spectators and exhibitors ... the atmosphere is kind of crazy.

Lawrence police are investigating the death of a 27-year-old Lawrence man who officers think was injured in a physical altercation Saturday several hours before his death.

Friends of Nicholas J. Sardina, an Iraq War veteran who had attended both Kansas and Kansas State universities and played on club hockey teams, were still dealing with the shock Tuesday.

“He was the most genuine and caring person I’ve ever known,” said his girlfriend, Darcy Singleton, a Lawrence resident. “He looked out for anyone who was in his life.

Anything that they needed or he could do, he was always there in a heartbeat.” Sardina Capt. Mike Pattrick, an investigations supervisor, said police and medical personnel were called about 1:10 p.m. Saturday to a medical emergency at a residence in the 1500 block of Tennessee Street.

Officers were directed to a man inside, and after life support measures were unsuccessful, he was pronounced dead. Pattrick said preliminary information indicated Sardina was involved in a physical altercation earlier in the 300 block of West 14th Street.

“Detectives, officers and the coroner are investigating to see whether the altercation in any way contributed to Mr. Sardina’s death,” Pattrick said. “The investigation has identified many of the people involved in the altercation. No arrests have been made at this time.”

Kim Murphree, a Lawrence police spokeswoman, said officers were not called about the earlier altercation and discovered that information as part of the death investigation. Singleton said she understood Sardina had been at a party at a house in that block. She had been at work and later went home but received a text message from him at 3:45 a.m. Saturday that he had been involved in a scuffle and had a bottle broken over his head.

“That was the last message I’d heard from him,” Singleton said.

Police are investigating to determine possible suspects, and friends and family are waiting to hear more, she said. Sardina was at a friend’s house on Tennessee Street that morning. He lived on Mississippi Street, Singleton said.

Sardina was a former Kansas University student who Please see VETERAN, page 2A

DEATHS LOUISE RANDALL Louise Randall passed away at the University of Kansas Medical Center on February 27, 2012.

Louise was born on June 3, 1928 to Anna C. (Scheve) and John G. Nuessen. She was born and baptized in Maydale, Kansas. The oldest of ten children, she was raised on the family farm near Olpe.

She married George R. Randall on September 8, 1949, and lived most of her adult life in Emporia, Kansas.

She was a long-time active member of Sacred Heart Church, where she was a member of the Altar Society. She worked as a bookkeeper for Warren Jones CPA and the United Way. She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and served as a “pink lady” volunteer at Newman Memorial Hospital.

For the past two years she was a resident of Pioneer Ridge Assisted Living in Lawrence, Kansas.

She was preceded in death by her husband, George R. Randall; her parents; two brothers, Melvin Nuessen and Marvin Nuessen; and a sister, Helen Coen.

She is survived by a daughter, Terri Lansbury (John) of St. Joseph, Missouri; a son, Scott Randall

(Terri) of Lawrence, Kansas; four grandchildren — Jennifer Lansbury, Brian Lansbury (Anna), Shawna Randall, and Sierra Randall; and two great-grandchildren — Ava Lansbury and Jayden Blond.

She is also survived by two brothers — Don Nuessen (Dee) of El Dorado and Ed Nuessen (Lola) of Olathe; four sisters—Rose Ann White (Larry) of Americus, Evelyn Watts of Ottawa, Janice Mercer (Clarence) of Emporia, and Marie Barrett of Hartford; and several nephews and nieces.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Sacred Catholic Heart Church, Emporia, Kansas, at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, March 2.

The family will receive visitors at the church from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 1, with the rosary recited at 7:00 p.m. Interment will be at Maplewood Memorial Lawn Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial gifts to Sacred Heart Church or Friends of the Emporia Zoo, sent in care of Charter Funerals, 501 West 6th Avenue, Emporia, Kansas 66801.

wouldn’t have enough space to store the cart. After usage, that concern fell to 16 percent.

Commissioners also touted data indicating the carts dramatically will improve the safety of city sanitation workers. The new carts would allow all trash to be dumped with a hydraulic lift rather than lugged by workers. That’s significant, city officials said, because they estimate the average Lawrence trash worker lifts 7,500 pounds in a single day.

“I think we do need to think about the safety of the people who are providing a great service,” Mayor Aron Cromwell said.

City commissioners are expected to get a report back in several weeks, and any changes to the trash system likely would take several months to implement.

City wants more info on fee increase Lawrence city commissioners want more information about a possible fee increase after a city audit determined the city’s rental registration program is not paying for itself.

Commissioners also said they wanted a staff report on various scenarios that would allow the rental registration program to be expanded to cover more type of rental units.

Currently, the program only requires rental homes in single-family-zoned neighborhoods to be registered

with the city. The program charges a $25 annual fee, and properties are inspected once every three years.

But City Auditor Michael Eglinski said the fee likely would have to be raised to more than $40 for the program to come close to covering its costs. He also said the program only covers about 10 percent of all the rental units in the city.

Commissioners made no decisions Tuesday but did ask staff to prepare a report for further discussion in the next several weeks.

Commissioners made no decision on how large the trash carts may be, but they had on display 35 gallon, 65 gallon and 95 gallon carts.

The idea of creating a curbside recycling service that would be added to everyone’s monthly bill also will get more study.

Commissioners said they wanted to hear how a request for proposals could be put together for a private company to offer

such a service citywide.

They also told staff to prepare a report for how the city could provide the service itself. But commissioners stopped short of saying they planned to add the service. Several said they still had concerns about how much a curbside system may add to monthly bills.

as a child. After receiving a retired show dog — another Keeshond named Justice — for her ninth birthday, Kelli was hooked. She began showing Justice through the Johnson County 4-H dog club. When she was 10, she started showing at AKC competitions. Since then, she has earned quite a bit of recognition for herself, including being named the No. 1 Keeshond junior handler in the country for the past eight years.

“I like interacting and having that bond with your dog,” she said of why she likes showing dogs.

The thrill of the competition, as well as getting a chance to meet other people proficient in the field, doesn’t hurt either, she said.

Kelli’s parents, Mark and Becky Denton, are proud and supportive of their daughter’s passion for showing dogs, which can rack up quite a bill from year to year in travel and expenses.

“To be very honest, I’ve not added it up. I probably don’t want to know the total,” Becky said with a laugh.

At least one parent usually accompanies Kelli on any trip, Becky said, adding that if Kelli’s priorities weren’t already on track,

there wouldn’t be any traveling to begin with.

“We have told her all along that her grades always came first in school, and we always told her that if her grades started dropping, the traveling would stop,” Becky said.

“And we haven’t had any trouble with her grades. ...

It has taken a lot of dedication and time on her part, and she was motivated enough to put what it took, the work into it, to accomplish this, and we feel very fortunate.”

Next up for Kelli and Journey are more dog shows — about two or three per month — at least until Kelli goes off to college next year, when she said she’ll be ready to take a short break.

“I definitely think it’s a lifelong hobby,” said Kelli, who plans to major in international business, though she doesn’t yet know which college she will attend.

Meanwhile, Journey is loving the excitement and attention he receives as a frontrunner on the dog show scene. He doesn’t mind the near-constant grooming from Kelli, who said she brushes his trademark thick coat of black and gray fur several times a week.

“He’s just pampered,” she said.

“I feel pretty special for being a leap day baby,” he said.

He shares the birthday with Piper Seetin, both members of the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club.

“She says I’m her weird twin brother,” A.J. said of their birthday connection.

None of the leaplings have any extraordinary plans for celebrating their birthdays this year.

For Neva, the highlight will be finding out if her pregnant mom is going to have twin boys or twin girls.

“That’s my biggest birthday present,” she said. “And I’m getting my haircut, which is awesome.”

Piper said she has already had a sleep-over with friends to celebrate her birthday but plans to go to dinner with her mom and shopping downtown.

On nonleap years, Piper celebrates on March 1.

“Because it is the day after (Feb. 28) and that is when I would have been born,” she reasons.

For the group of sixthgraders celebrating today, the next leap year birthday will be an even bigger milestone. They will be turning 16, or at least their classmates will be.

“I’ll get a car at age 4,” A.J. said.

at the end of road trips.

“He was the guy that was invincible,” said Clavin, of Wichita. “He was the guy that always got up from everything, and to hear what happened especially, just basically still doesn’t seem real.”

According to his obituary in the Buffalo News, Sardina, originally from Clarence, N.Y., was a sergeant in the Kansas National Guard and had also served three tours in Iraq from 2006 to 2007 with the Army’s 1st Infantry Division based at Fort Riley.

“He loved what he had done for his country. He never wanted anyone to thank him because it was such an honor for him to have done that,” Singleton said. “But he did suffer a lot because of it.”

BRIEFLY George Mitchell to give Dole Lecture

Stage heats up with Dramapalooza

The Dole Institute of Politics has selected former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell to deliver the 2012 Dole Lecture.

The lecture is set for 7:30 p.m. April 4 at the Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive.

A Democrat from Maine, Mitchell served as majority leader in the U.S. Senate from 1989 until 1995. He most recently served as U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Peace.

He has also served in a number of other roles, including leading an investigation into the use of performanceenhancing drugs in Major League Baseball, serving as chairman of a commission investigating allegations of impropriety in the bidding process for the Olympic Games and as the independent overseer of the American Red Cross Liberty Fund, which provided relief for Sept. 11 attack victims and their families.

A National Geographic magazine photographer who took a cover photo of a King James Bible housed at Baker University will speak next week at the university.

Jim Richardson, a photojournalist based in Lindsborg, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at McKibbin Recital Hall at the Owens Musical Arts Building, 408 Eighth St., in Baldwin City.

The King James Bible used in the photo is part of the university’s William A. Quayle Rare Bible Collection and was used as part of the magazine’s commemoration of the book’s 400th anniversary.

Richardson also traveled to England, Jamaica and Wyoming for the story. His photos will be on display Tuesday through May 20 at the Quayle Bible Collection, which is housed in the south wing of Collins Library, 518 Eighth St.

Brownback’s comment was made Monday during a callin show on C-SPAN in response to a comment from a woman from Osawatomie, who said women’s Brownback rights were being trampled in Kansas.

The caller criticized Brownback for opposing President Barack Obama’s position that contraceptives should be provided as part of the federal health reform law.

Brownback disagreed with the caller, saying that Obama’s decision was infringing on basic religious freedoms.

Obama had issued a rule to require employers to cover all FDA-approved contraception. Churches were exempted from the requirement. Later, Obama announced that faithbased employers, such

BRIEFLY Trial ordered for man accused of shooting A Jefferson County judge has ordered a trial for a 62-year-old rural Valley Falls man accused of shooting another man during a dispute in December.

Originally, John Hayworth Jr. was charged with attempted second-degree murder in the shooting of William Schoonover, 58, also of rural Valley Falls.

During a preliminary hearing Monday for John Hayworth Jr., Jefferson County Attorney Jason Belveal asked that he stand trial on an attempted first-degree murder charge because he alleges that the shooting was premeditated.

Prosecutors allege that the men, who own adjoining land about 40 miles northwest of Lawrence, had an ongoing dispute that became heated by a disagreement over cattle getting through a fence.

Hayworth is accused of shooting Schoonover with a handgun on Dec. 4.

Schoonover was taken to a Topeka hospital, but authorities have said he was recovering from his injuries.

Belveal said prosecutors have charged Hayworth’s wife, Bernadine Hayworth, with aggravated battery and obstructing the investigation. The Hayworths will be arraigned March 22.

Heart attack survivor Water now a leader in the fight against cancer

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Michelle Derusseau is a crusader.

Last February, she shared her personal experience of surviving a heart attack at age 39 with about 200 people attending the annual Go Red for Women luncheon in Lawrence.

She talked about how she ignored the early warning signs, fatigue, sweating, nausea, and didn’t seek help until she lost feeling in her left arm and it became an emergency. She was flown by helicopter ambulance from Lawrence Memorial Hospital to St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City where two stents were implanted into her heart.

Since then she’s changed her habits and never felt better. She gets more sleep, has become an exercise fanatic and has cut fast food from her diet.

Derusseau, 48, has put her new heart-healthy habits to use by becomMan enters plea ing a champion for another cause: fighting in robbery case cancer.

Special to the Journal-World

MICHELLE DERUSSEAU participated in a 90-mile bicycle ride that was part of the Livestrong Challenge in October in Austin. The event helped raise money for The Lance Armstrong Foundation and its fight to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. She recently was named a Livestrong leader for Douglas County.

Livestrong Challenge, which was a 5K race and 90-mile bicycle ride in Austin, Texas. She raised $2,500 and got to tour the foundation’s headquarters.

“It was a very neat and inspiring weekend,” she said.

Derusseau decided to apply to become a Livestrong leader for Douglas County, and she recently was accepted.

As a leader, she will help educate residents about The L a n c e Armstrong Foundation and its Livestrong campaign.

“There’s a lot of people who have heard of Livestrong, but they don’t really understand what it is and what they do.”

She said the foundation’s goal is to not only improve the lives of people who have cancer but also everybody who is affected by the diagnosis, including spouses, siblings and parents.

“It empowers people, and it tries to show them that they have cancer but cancer doesn’t have them,” she said.

For more information about how to get involved or how to receive help, contact Derusseau at mickyd livestrong@gmail.com, visit livestrong.org or call 855-220-7777.

The state coordinator for the Kansas chapter of the National Organization for Women said the governor’s “flippant” suggestion that CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A women work somewhere else “is a verbal strike against women’s right to participate as as religious-affiliated equals in society and access a full range of hospitals and schools, wouldn’t be required to preventive health care.”

Brownback

provide free contraceptive coverage to employees, but the insurance companies would.

The new policy has continued to anger some religious groups, including some Roman Catholic Church leaders.

Brownback said the rule will require some religious institutions to violate their basic tenets by having to provide coverage for contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs.

“That’s not denying women’s rights. If a woman then wants birth control, go work somewhere else,” he said.

Obama administration officials have said the rule won’t violate religious freedoms and will give women access to important preventive care. Supporters of the rule, including the ACLU and women’s advocacy groups, say the measure will improve female health.

Kari Ann Rinker, state coordinator for the Kansas chapter of the National Organization for Women,

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

criticized Brownback over his remarks.

“In this clip, Gov. Brownback states that churches should not be forced to provide birth control to their female employees due to their particular religious convictions. This casts a far narrower net over a policy that in reality would affect millions of women across the nation, who either work for or are insured by a family member through a religiously owned hospital, university, school or organization.” Rinker said.

She also said the governor’s “flippant” suggestion that women work somewhere else “is a verbal strike against women’s right to participate as equals in society and access a full range of preventive health care. This is preventive health care that would, in fact, reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions across the nation.”

Brownback’s opposition to the birth control

rule has arisen during the legislative session. His administration has pushed for approval of a bill that supporters say will protect religious liberty.

Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer testified in support of the measure, saying it was needed because Obama was attacking religious rights, citing the controversy over the contraceptive coverage requirement.

“As you consider House Bill 2260, the federal government’s recent attempts to trample the religious liberties of millions of Americans must be at the forefront of your debate,” Colyer said. “Religious liberty is at the heart of who we are as a people.”

But opponents of the bill say it will allow people to claim religious reasons for challenging a Lawrence ordinance that bars discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons.

than the usual amounts of water from the ground for irrigation and municipal uses.

“They’re lower (water levels) than typical, but I can’t say that it’s lower than expected,” Stover said.

Kansas water officials are promoting measures that would protect the levels of water in the Ogallala and High Plains aquifers. Here’s a look at a few of them, at various stages in the legislative process, though all have passed their house of origin, water officials said.

Drop “Use it or Lose It.” This bill would eliminate a provision in the law that mandates that water-right owners use a certain amount of water or give up the water right.

Stover said there is concern water-right owners are running their wells just to keep their claim to a water right. While it’s difficult to quantify exactly how much this is done, Stover said she hears a lot of anecdotal evidence that it’s happening.

“Everybody seems to know somebody that’s done it” among water right owners she’s talked with, Stover said.

The measure would be specific to areas closed to new water rights.

Local Enhanced Management Area plans. This measure would allow local governing bodies to develop agreements that could be approved by the state’s chief engineer that would then have the force of law.

Essentially, Stover said, local solutions allow places

to develop their own plans instead of being forced to take involuntary actions.

“If you have locally driven solutions, that is the best,” Stover said.

Multiyear flex accounts for water use.

These accounts would allow users to depend on a five-year average.

In a drought year, a water rights holder could draw more water one year and then make up for that by drawing less water the next year.

That way, if people happen to have extra water in a year, they will have an incentive to save it for the next few years.

“It’s all voluntary,” and users would sign up if they wanted to use the new flex accounts instead of the old one-year sys-

tem, said Lane Letourneau, program manager for water appropriation at the Kansas Division of Water Resources.

Water officials hope the new measures will help address the shrinking water resources in the state.

“I don’t think it’s something to be panicked about, but it’s something we should keep an eye on,” Stover said.

She expects a new director to be on board in April.

“I think we have some good candidates,” Golden said. “I think we have candidates who each have their own unique strengths, and now we need to prioritize what will be best for the library and the community.”

Prothro said she believes discussing branch libraries in Lawrence some day will be important, but she also said technology may make the need for large traditional branches much less likely.

Prothro currently oversees Wichita’s nine branch library locations, in addition to the library system’s circulation office and interlibrary loan department.

Prothro, who received her master’s of library science from Emporia State University in 2003, was the final candidate the library’s board interviewed for its director position.

Probation given for stealing from senior A Franklin County judge Monday sentenced a 65-year-old Ottawa man to serve two years on probation and pay $90,431 in restitution after he was convicted of stealing from a 95-year-old woman while he was designated her power of attorney.

According to Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office, Judge Thomas Sachse ordered Guadalupe Mora if he violates terms of his probation to concurrently serve 13 months in prison on one count mistreatment of a dependent adult and one count of theft. Mora pleaded no contest to the two counts in January.

Prosecutors last April accused Mora of using undue influence and false representation to pay himself and others after he was given power of attorney by Edna Brouhard, who was 95 when charges were filed. By then, Brouhard had a new conservator and guardian.

Officials in Franklin County and the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services initially investigated the case, and Stefani Hepford, an assistant attorney general, prosecuted it.

Mora must also perform 100 hours of community service and was ordered to have no authority or control over another person’s assets or finances.

Firearms and Explosives are black. Defense lawyers are seeking to have indictments dropped, arguing the investigation targeted AfricanAmerican men.

U.S. District Judge Monti Belot had planned to hear evidence Tuesday. Instead, he gave attorneys a week to file motions on whether defense lawyers may question two federal agents.

The government argues the claim of a racially motivated prosecution is baseless. Defense lawyers note the ATF’s bogus pawn shop was located in a neighborhood with one of the city’s highest concentrations of African-Americans.

Basehor residents recall State A.G.: Office’s funding mayor, 2 council members needs to be more balanced

By George Diepenbrock

————

Elected officials will be first-ever removed in county

By Matt Erickson merickson@theworldco.info

BASEHOR — In great numbers and by a wide margin, Basehor residents on Tuesday decided to clean house at City Hall.

In a recall election, residents voted to throw out half of the city’s elected officials, recalling Mayor Terry Hill and City Council members Dennis Mertz and Iris Dysart. About 65 percent of voters opted for Hill’s recall, 61 percent for Mertz’s and 59 percent for Dysart’s.

Basehor residents turned out to vote at a rate of nearly 30 percent, after rates during the last three City Council elections hovered around 18 percent.

Groups of residents had mounted dueling efforts to remove the officials from office, with one committee of residents taking aim at Mertz and Dysart and the other seeking to recall Hill.

The recall petitions all centered on former City Administrator Mark Loughry and his firing, which Mertz and Dysart supported and Hill opposed.

Hill, Mertz and Dysart will be the first elected officials ever to be recalled in Leavenworth County.

Dysart said Tuesday night that she was shocked voters had supported not one but both recall efforts.

“It is quite a blow to me,” Dysart said.

According to state law, the three officials will be removed from office the day after Leavenworth County certifies the election results. County commissioners are scheduled to canvass votes Monday.

Basehor is governed by a mayor and a five-member city council.

The three remaining council members must now appoint one of themselves as council president, and that person will ascend to mayor. That new mayor can then appoint three replacement council members, with approval from the rest of the council.

Presentation offers tips on severe-weather spotting, safety

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

At about 8:15 p.m. Tuesday in the auditorium of South Middle School, several smartphones buzzed with text alerts.

Jillian Rodrigue stood up, stopping a presentation, to let everyone know what many already did: Douglas County was entering a tornado watch.

Many people already knew, of course, because this was “Weather 101,” an annual presentation on identifying storm systems and patterns. And the people in the audience? Most of them were spotters.

Rodrigue is the assistant director of the Douglas County Emergency Management office. When she interrupted the speaker, the National Weather Service’s Chad Omitt, it hadn’t been too long since he’d talked about the many ways to keep abreast of weather news,

including the increasing number of resources available to smartphone users, and even slightly more old-fashioned text message alerts.

The crowd remained abuzz with the possibility of severe weather in the area as Omitt continued his talk, using pictures to point out how to identify the most dangerous parts of clouds.

“If you can imagine the storm is alive,” said Omitt, a warning coordination meteorologist, “it breathes in and out, there’s inflow bands and outflow ... there’s round updraft toward the center and striations show it’s rotating below the wall cloud.”

Omitt said spotters are important because radar, or “an X-ray for clouds,” can only see so low. Volunteer input helps the National Weather Service get a better sense on the ground. There aren’t enough properly trained

people to help spot storm structure, he said, and he’d like to see more people learn the shapes and patterns of severe weather.

He says the National Weather Service out of central Oklahoma has great resources online for self-teaching about those wall clouds, intake striations and RFD. Kelly and Brad Johnson are learning the ropes.

They’ve studied weather before and now are registered as spotters for Douglas County, a process that includes taking a quiz.

“The point of volunteering is to help get the word out,” Kelly said. “Living in Kansas, nobody really takes it to heart, people run outside when they hear sirens, not to safety.

We hope we can help them be more prepared.”

New images show Ike’s D.C. memorial amid criticism

By Brett Zongker Associated Press

WASHINGTON — As critics of a planned monument honoring Dwight D. Eisenhower object to everything from its giant scale to its depiction of the Cold War president and famed World War II general as a “barefoot boy from Kansas,” new images and documents released reveal other key elements overshadowed by the furor and show how the controversial project developed.

The work by Frank Gehry, to be built as a memorial park just off the National Mall, would feature two stones in “heroic scale,” carved as bas reliefs. Based on new images recently released to The Associated Press, the carvings would depict a famed photo of Ike addressing his troops on the eve of D-Day, and another of the Republican president studying the globe.

Most of the attention and criticism has focused on large metal tapestries, proposed by Gehry to portray Eisenhower’s Kansas roots, and a statue of a young Eisenhower.

As recently as Monday, Rep. Dan Lungren of California, chairman of the House Administration

THIS UNDATED HANDOUT IMAGE provided by Gehry Partners LLP shows the Eisenhower Memorial Pedestrian Experience. Planners of a memorial honoring Dwight D. Eisenhower responded to criticism that the Frank Gehry design puts too much emphasis on Eisenhower’s rural Kansas roots and not enough on his achievements as a military hero and president.

Committee, which oversees the Capitol grounds, and Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock asked the National Capital Planning Commission to re-think the design.

“The current design, which depicts him as a ‘barefoot boy’ from Kansas rather than highlighting his influential roles and accomplishments ... is a contemporary design contrary to memorial architecture already on the National Mall,” the Republican congressmen wrote.

The “barefoot boy” phrase

comes from Eisenhower’s own reminiscences.

Susan Eisenhower, the 34th president’s granddaughter, said Tuesday that the new images don’t change how the family feels. She said the tapestries remain problematic, along with the depiction of a young Ike. “If those metal curtains are not the memorial, then why should we spend lots of money to create an expensive backdrop?” she said. Gehry, she added, should be challenged to come up with other ideas.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt in Lawrence on Tuesday voiced concern about the amount of litigation fees that make up his office’s budget.

Schmidt, a Republican who took office in 2011, said that in 2007, as was tradition, about $1 out of every $4 in his office’s budget came from stateappropriated money, but today it has evolved to $1 out of every $13, saying the rest comes from money recovered in litigation.

“I don’t think an appropriate role for that is for me to have to sit down and figure out who we’re going to file a civil suit against today so we can pay for the work of the criminal litigation division in 2015,” said the former Kansas Senate majority leader. “That is literally where we are. I don’t think it’s where we want to be. I don’t think it’s good public policy. I don’t think it’s consistent with trying to make Kansas a more investmentfriendly state.”

Schmidt talked to about 50 members of the Douglas County Republican Party at the Lawrence Country Club in an event aimed at generating support for the party.

Earlier he asked the audience where a majority of funds for his office’s budget had come from.

“Bake sales,” someone said.

“Bake sales would be preferable to what we’re in a position to be doing,” he replied.

He also called his two Democratic predecessors Paul Morrison, who resigned amid a sex scandal, and Lawrence attorney Steve Six “good people” and “good lawyers” but

“

From the standpoint of our office, I think the right balance is to have general funds pay for criminal prosecution. I think that’s sort of a core function.”

— Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said their political philosophies differ.

Schmidt said he has worked to bring the funding issue to the attention of legislators and the governor’s office.

“From the standpoint of our office, I think the right balance is to have general funds pay for criminal prosecution. I think that’s sort of a core function,” he said. “If policymakers disagree, we’ll keep doing it the way it’s done now, but I think it’s incumbent upon me to bring it to their attention.”

Local elected Republicans Kansas House members Tom Sloan and TerriLois Gregory, Sheriff Ken McGovern and Doug-

las County Commissioner Jim Flory also spoke at the event along with Kansas Senate candidate Jeff Melcher of Johnson County who is running against Senate Vice President John Vratil, a moderate Republican.

Party chairman Richard Todd said the March 10 GOP presidential caucus in Douglas County has been moved to Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive. Doors will open at 8 a.m., and voting will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., when doors will close, Todd said.

Prosecutor: Shooting suspect ‘not well’

By Kevin Begos and Thomas J. Sheeran Associated Press

CHARDON, OHIO — The Ohio teenager accused of killing three students in a shooting rampage in a high school cafeteria chose his victims at random and is “someone who’s not well,” a prosecutor said Tuesday as the slightly built young man appeared in juvenile court.

T.J. Lane, 17, admitted taking a .22-caliber pistol and a knife to Chardon High and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table Monday morning, Prosecutor David Joyce said. He said Lane didn’t know the victims.

Lane will probably be charged with three counts of aggravated murder and other offenses, the prosecutor said.

Lane seemed small next to the sheriff’s deputies who led him into court and said little more than “yes, sir” in response to questions from the judge.

The hearing came hours after the death toll rose to three and as schoolmates and townspeople grappled with the tragedy and wondered what could have set off Lane, described by other students as extremely quiet, with few if any friends.

The court appearance did little to solve the mystery. Afterward, though, the prosecutor appeared to rule out rumors and speculation that the gunman lashed out after being bullied or that the shooting had something to do with drug-dealing.

“He chose his victims at random. This is not about bullying. This is not about drugs,” Joyce said. “This is someone who’s not well, and I’m sure in our court case we’ll prove that to all of your desires and we’ll make sure justice is done here in this county.”

Romney sweeps primary victories in Mich., Ariz.

By David Espo and Kasie Hunt Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney scored a hardwon, home state triumph in Michigan and powered to victory in Arizona on Tuesday night, gaining a two-state primary sweep over Rick Santorum and precious momentum in the most turbulent Republican presidential Romney race in a generation.

“We didn’t win by a lot, but we won by enough,” Romney told cheering supporters Santorum in Michigan. He also tweeted his delight — and his determination: “I take great pride in my Paul Michigan roots, and am humbled to have received so much support here these past few weeks.

Gingrich “On to the March contests,” he said, looking ahead to next week’s Super Tuesday races that could go a long way toward determining the Republican who will take on Democratic President Barack Obama this fall.

Santorum was already campaigning in Ohio, one of next week’s states, when the verdict came in from Michigan.

“A month ago they didn’t know who we are, but they do now,” he told his own supporters, vowing to stay the conservative course he has set.

The two other candidates, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, made little effort in either Michigan or Arizona, pointing instead to next week’s collection of contests in all corners of the country.

Romney’s Arizona triumph came in a race that was scarcely contested, and he pocketed all of the 29 Republican National Convention delegates at stake in the winner-take-all state.

Michigan was as different as could be — a hardfought and expensive battle in Romney’s home state that he could ill afford to lose and Santorum made every effort to win.

Returns from 88 percent of Michigan’s precincts showed Romney at 41 percent and Santorum at 38 percent. Paul was winning 12 percent of the vote to 7 percent for Gingrich. In Arizona, with votes counted from 64 percent of the precincts, Romney had 48 percent, Santorum 26, Gingrich 16 percent and Paul 8 percent.

In Michigan, 30 delegates were apportioned according to the popular vote.

Two were set aside for the winner of each of the state’s 14 congressional districts.

The remaining two delegates were likely to be divided between the top finishers in the statewide vote.

With his victory in Arizona, Romney had 152 delegates, according to the AP’s count, compared with 72 for Santorum, 32 for Gingrich and 19 for Paul. It takes 1,144 to win the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Tampa next summer.

Airfares are up and headed higher this summer.

Airlines blame soaring fuel prices, which could cost them billions more than last year.

That means fares, which normally rise as the summer travel season nears, could increase faster than usual.

Airlines have already pushed through two price increases this year, and it’s only February, when leisure travel is slow.

It’s a sign of things to come.

“You’ll see gradual increases and then a much bigger jump in April and May when people start shopping for the summer travel season,” says Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com.

Americans feeling better about economic recovery

By Anne D’Innocenzio

“

The economy is getting momentum.

NEW YORK — Americans Clearly, shoppers are are feeling better about the economy again, but more optimistic about their job prospects.” will it last this time?

Associated Press

A widely watched barometer of consumer confidence surged in February to its highest level in a year as Americans took note of improving job prospects among friends and family and falling unemployment, which is now at a three-year low.

The brighter assessment released Tuesday by a private research group reflected a more upbeat attitude for the nation generally as the economy picks up. That is a boon for President Obama as he seeks re-election. Polls, including a recent Associated PressGfK survey, show the Democratic incumbent is beginning to benefit politically from improved views of the economy.

“The economy is getting momentum. Clearly, shoppers are more optimistic about their job prospects,” said Amna Asaf, economist at Capital Economics.

The rising confidence among consumers gave confidence to Wall Street, too, helping it to reclaim the last of the ground it held before plunging into the depths of the Great Recession. The Dow Jones industrial average closed

— Amna Asaf, economist at Capital Economics above 13,000 on Tuesday for the first time since May 19, 2008, four months before the fall of Lehman Brothers investment bank and the worst of the financial crisis.

Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank, called it “a momentous day for investor confidence.”

Tuesday’s gain puts the Dow 1,160 points below its all-time high, set Oct. 9, 2007. The Great Recession began two months later.

The milestone could draw some fence-sitting investors back into the market and add to the gains, said Brian Gendreau, market strategist at Cetera Financial Group.

But consumer confidence is still below the level of a healthy economy, and trouble could lie ahead.

Rising gas prices could sully shoppers’ mood and derail the economic recovery.

There are also fears about a nuclear showdown with Iran and the festering European debt crisis.

Ticket aftermath

Romney misses chances on religion

By Michael Smerconish The Philadelphia Inquirer

Answering the public’s questions about a police ticket-fixing case will help build trust in the Lawrence Police Department.

I

t took a week for Lawrence city leaders to release basic details about a police ticket-fixing case. One officer is now gone from the department, and another is suspended as a result of an FBI investigation. Beyond that, the public knows little.

To restore the public’s confidence in the police department, the city must not consider the matter closed. Too many questions remain about how the ticketfixing could go on for years, how widespread the problem was and what safeguards will be instituted to prevent it from happening again.

Last Friday, under questioning from Journal-World reporters who filed freedom of information requests to gain access to records, Police Chief Tarik Khatib finally divulged some details of the investigation that stemmed from an anonymous tip he received last May that officers were fixing speeding tickets in exchange for Kansas University basketball tickets.

According to Khatib, the federal investigation found one officer had a long-term friendship with the athletics department employee for whom at least six traffic citations were fixed between 2000 and 2009 — before Khatib succeeded Ron Olin as Lawrence police chief. Khatib said a second officer was asked two or three times by the first officer for assistance in fixing a ticket and “may have been the beneficiary of KU tickets through the first employee.”

The other tickets were fixed by asking officers to void or not issue speeding tickets, but those officers did not “knowingly” receive anything in return, the chief said.

City leaders have said the individual whose speeding tickets were dismissed was a former Kansas Athletics Inc. employee now serving time in federal prison for his role in the broader KU scandal involving $2 million in basketball and football tickets from 2005 to 2010.

Khatib and City Manager David Corliss said the investigation involved a violation of the city’s “gratuity policy” and indicated they didn’t expect criminal charges to be filed. The FBI also decided against pursuing federal charges for bribery or other offenses.

Still, questions persist. What hoops must be jumped through to get a speeding ticket tossed out? Are there no checks and balances or audits to determine what happened to a ticket that caused it to simply go away? And, if others are involved, will they not be punished?

Beyond the question of major ethical lapses, the ticket fixing case has other ramifications. Now, District Attorney Charles Branson is determining whether the violations of the two officers are relevant to any pending or past criminal cases in which they were involved. This will cost the DA’s office time and resources.

Lawrence city and police leaders apparently want to handle this as an internal department matter, but unless they answer questions about how the ticketfixing occurred and why it won’t happen again, they risk losing the public’s trust.

Mitt Romney has missed several golden opportunities to turn this campaign’s religious fixation to his advantage.

Given that polls show he faces prejudice among a sizable share of primary voters because of his Mormon faith, you would think Romney would be eager to try to redefine the role of faith in the election. But he keeps refusing to challenge those who would apply faith-based litmus tests, even though doing so would win him plaudits among the independents who will pick the next president.

“

That’s when Romney should have stepped in and asked: What separates us from Iran or al-Qaida if we are going to pick our presidents according to religious litmus tests?”

pay for contraception coverage, the bishops rebuffed it.

Instead of declaring victory, they continued to fight.

In Philadelphia, Archbishop Charles Chaput wrote in The Inquirer that the administration’s mandate, “including its latest variant, is belligerent, unnecessary, and deeply offensive to the content of Catholic belief.” He added that “no similarly aggressive attack on religious freedom in our country has occurred in recent memory.” And he concluded that the “mandate is bad law, and not merely bad, but dangerous and insulting. It needs to be withdrawn — now.”

Chaput and the other bishops overplayed a winning hand. Who is being intolerant when an employee of a Catholic-run hospital, charity, or college, who might not be Catholic herself, is told she cannot have access to birth control as part of her health insurance — even though her employer doesn’t have to pay for it?

It was into this crossfire that Rick Santorum stepped last weekend when he said the president was motivated by “some phony theology, not a theology based on the Bible.”

When challenged by Bob Schieffer of CBS, Santorum thinly defended his comments as references to Obama’s envi-

ronmental policies. But the remark seemed in keeping with the email circulars many of us have received (“YOU MUST READ THIS”) that seek to portray Obama as an “other,” someone fundamentally different from the rest of us.

That’s when Romney should have stepped in and asked: What separates us from Iran or al-Qaida if we are going to pick our presidents according to religious litmus tests? Perhaps he could have quoted the First Amendment and reminded people that it ensures every American’s ability to exercise his faith, or to exercise no faith. But Romney remained silent.

And he stayed silent when Matt Drudge trumpeted a 2008 Santorum speech at Ave Maria University in which he invoked Satan while discussing abortion. “And the father of lies has his sights on what you think the father of lies, Satan, would have his sights on — a good, decent, powerful, influential country, the United States of America,” Santorum said.

And Romney was still silent a day later, when the Rev. Franklin Graham, Billy Graham’s son, said on MSNBC that while he believed Santorum was a Christian, he couldn’t be sure whether Obama or Romney was.

Maybe Graham was channeling the Southern Baptist pastor Robert Jeffress, who said in October that the Mormon Church was a cult. This week, Jeffress said he would hold his nose and vote for Romney. No doubt his antipathy is shared by the one-third of evangelical Christians who told the Pew Research Center that they would have a hard time voting for a Mormon.

All these developments gave Romney chances to remind the nation that this is not the election that ends with a cloud of white smoke over the Sistine Chapel. What did he do instead? He doubled down on his efforts to reach the party’s religious base, telling a Michigan crowd: “Unfortunately, possibly because of the people the president hangs around with, and their agenda, their secular agenda — they have fought against religion.” And in the CNN debate last week in Arizona, he accused Obama of an “attack on religious conscience.”

That kind of talk may help Romney with some of the GOP faithful in upcoming primaries. But it is not likely to be forgotten by independents come this fall.

Politics won’t shrink God gap

OLD HOME TOWN

That’s probably because he fears it would backfire among those who will pick the GOP nominee.

It has been a dizzying two weeks in matters of church and state. First, the Obama administration unwisely attempted to force religious institutions to offer birth control coverage to their employees in contravention of church teachings. The administration exempted churches, but it should have done the same for church-related institutions from the get-go.

Forget for a moment the shortsightedness of an institution that opposes abortion but fails to recognize that contraception can prevent it. Whatever the basis of the church’s position, the government should not force it to act against its teachings.

In doing so, the president served up a perfect political opportunity for his opponents to accuse him of waging war on religious freedom.

The next mistake, however, was the church’s. When the president came to his senses and offered a compromise that would not force the church to

There have been many “gaps” in modern politics.

There is the gender gap, the generation gap and now the God gap, which is the gulf between people who take God’s instructions seriously and those who don’t. Which side of the gap you’re on could influence your vote.

The God gap is growing wider.

I asked Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum about this. In a telephone interview with me, Santorum, whose rhetoric is loaded with religious and cultural language, said, “While (such language) may be upsetting to some, there’s a hunger out there for talking about what’s true.”

How, then, would he explain a recent New York Times story that reported for the first time in our history, that “more than half of births to American women under 30 occur outside marriage.”

Santorum acknowledged, “I’m probably talking to Republican audiences, so it’s a little different. I’m not talking to the general audience at this point.

Marriage is on the decline.

The culture is changing.”

The problem for presidential candidates — and for President Obama, who occasionally appeals to Scripture to justify his policies — is that fewer people are listening to the voice of God, or to voices claiming to speak for Him. Not too long ago, a report about growing numbers of out-of-wedlock births would have produced sermons calling for repentance and set revival fires burning in churches across the land. Today, there’s only the sound of silence.

Materialism and pleasure contribute to social rot. Social rot precedes national decline.”

The Times story, citing government data compiled

by Child Trends, a Washington research group, noted that the shift in the makeup of American families was likely to produce children who face “elevated risks of falling into poverty, failing in school or suffering emotional and behavioral problems.” Yawn.

The failure to communicate across the God gap brings to mind something former President George H.W. Bush said about broccoli. Bush said his mother made him eat broccoli, but he never liked it. When he became president, he said it meant he no longer had to eat it.

So people who might have been taken to religious services as children are now grown up and many feel they no longer have to “stomach” faith, or conform to a standard outside themselves.

Some who grew up in a secular household are spiritually deaf, if not biblically illiterate. A general cultural morality is fast disappearing.

The God gap will not be shrunk by politicians, though to rally “the base” they often talk as if it can. The goal of cultural transformation has historically been the work of clergy, whose “hellfire” messages scared people awake from their comfortable and what used to be called “sinful” lives. But this was before having a baby without a husband became an acceptable thing to do.

Too many of today’s clergy seem preoccupied with building personal empires and monstrous buildings.

They go on costly TV instead of investing in the less visible “work of the church,” which is people, not brick and mortar. The first Christians met in homes, not megachurches. They took care of each other and did not rely on government to sustain them.

Many pastors today dislike sermons about sin and repentance because it makes people uncomfortable. And so we get instead the discomfort of social decay and an ever-widening God gap.

Materialism and pleasure contribute to social rot. Social rot precedes national decline. These have become our twin false gods; contemporary “golden calves,” as unable to produce satisfaction as the idols of biblical times. Most politicians won’t urge restraint or personal sacrifice and too many ministers allow the secular world to set their agenda.

And so the God gap widens and the wisdom and understanding of the older generation goes unheard and unheeded.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 29, 1912: YEARS “‘I have voted the AGO Democratic tickIN 1912 et from Andrew Jackson in 1832 to William Jennings Bryan in 1908 and I am still voting the same ticket,’ declared ‘Father’ Gilhan recently, after having passed the one hundred and first milestone of his life. Times have changed and politics have changed but the Kansas Centenarian has never swerved from the political choice of his boyhood days, and if he is permitted to see another president elected to the office in the United States there will be a vote from ‘Father’ Gilhan for the Democratic nominee, be he Harmon, Wilson, Clark or Bryan. The old man is still interested in the political game and is staunch in his belief that this is the Democratic year to win. But ‘Father’ Gilhan is rapidly failing in health and it is feared by his friends that his long life is drawing to a close.

About two months ago he was afflicted with a stroke of paralysis, from which it is feared that he will never recover.”

Self: Big 12 just the first step

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

End of a journey Sutherland’s successful KU career nears finish

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

It’s probably fitting Kansas University’s basketball team wrapped up — and celebrated — the program’s eighthstraight Big 12 regular-season championship late Monday night at Oklahoma State.

According to ninth-year coach Bill Self ... it’s the Jayhawks’ performance on the road that’s annually separated his squad from the rest of the pack.

“Winning at home is great.

You always want to win at home. We have an advantage to winning at home because we have great players, an unbelievable building and fan support,” said Self. His Jayhawks have compiled a 68-4 Big 12 record at home in the Self-era entering Saturday’s 8 p.m., regular-season finale versus Texas.

“Somebody told me today we’re 53-20 on the road in league play — 53-20 is pretty amazing,” added Self, whose Jayhawks actually are 54-19 on the road. “We went 7-2 on the road this year. For this team to go 7-2 on the road is pretty cool. It’s pretty special. The two games we lost (Iowa State and Missouri) ... we could have won either one of them.

“In the national championship year, the best we could do is 5-3. To win away from home like that is a tribute to how far these guys have come.”

Self made sure the Jayhawks did not take this eighth-straight title lightly following Monday’s 70-58 win at his alma mater, OSU. He had the players place the league championship trophy on the floor of the locker room after accepting it from Big 12 associate commissioner John Underwood and had the Jayhawks do a bit of dancing around the hardware.

Self took part in the dancing.

Tech’s Tuberville accused of fraud LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) — Texas Tech football coach Tommy Tuberville has been sued in federal court, accused of defrauding investors out of more than $1.7 million in Alabama following his tenure at Auburn.

A federal lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Montgomery, Ala., names Tuberville, John David Stroud and eight investment entities as defendants, claiming the two men “employed devices, schemes, and artifices to defraud� seven plaintiffs from Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee.

The lawsuit said Tuberville

and Stroud misappropriated assets, and falsified client statements and fund performance reports as they “unjustly enriched themselves� at the expense of the investors.

Tuberville, who spent two seasons away from coaching after leaving Auburn in 2008, released a statement through his attorney, Vic Hayslip of Birmingham, Ala. Tuberville was “surprised� at the lawsuit and has never even met or spoken with most of the plaintiffs, the statement reads. “He categorically denies any wrongdoing which has been at-

COMMENTARY

tributed to him in this suit,� Hayslip’s statement says. “Coach Tuberville absolutely never solicited any investment from any of these or other individuals.�

The statement also said Tuberville invested significant funds and has not gotten any return. He intends to defend the allegations against him and is confident he’ll be exonerated, the statement says.

A woman who answered the phone at Stroud’s home in Auburn said he wasn’t there and she didn’t know how he could be reached. Plaintiffs’ attorneys declined comment Tuesday.

Tuberville and Texas Tech agreed to a five-year, $11 million contract after last season that included a $500,000-a-year raise.

The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, said Tuberville told Baron Lowe and Glen Williams in late September that all of the investors’ funds would be returned to them, and that Stroud indicated that they’d get their money back before Oct. 7, 2011. Most of them have requested return of their money in writing but haven’t been repaid, the suit said.

The Daytona 500 wasn’t just delayed. It was a flat-out disaster.

But if the folks at NASCAR are as smart as they think, they’ll chalk up the fiery explosion that made it an unbearably long night to bad luck, then forget about the storm clouds that postponed the start by a day — and look hard for a silver lining. Because that’s what Monday night’s race could turn out to be.

Sure, five-time circuit champion Jimmie Johnson was out after two laps, sidelined in the same wreck that reduced glamour girl Danica Patrick and defending champ Trevor Bayne to also-rans for the rest of the race. Even the last lap was anticlimactic. Matt Kenseth cruised comfortably to the win, in large part because his teammate Greg Biffle couldn’t do much with a late push from Dale Earnhardt Jr. By the time it ended, there were probably more fans left in the stands than still looking in on TV across the land.

For all that, though, “Monday Night Racing� is an experiment that might be worth trying again.

NASCAR is still America’s No. 2 sport according to Forbes magazine, but it’s struggling just to hold its place and it’s always going to be stuck between a rock and the NFL. That’s one reason NASCAR czar Brian France has dipped into the NFL playbook for ideas in the past, and this one deserves a long look. Moving a regular-season race or two from a weekend slot to Monday night might be just the spark his sport needs to keep a still-fragile recovery on track.

It’s been a turbulent few years, economically, for all pro sports and NASCAR might have been the hardest hit. Last year’s season delivered a 10 percent jump in TV ratings, but it came after a decline that saw the sport’s numbers slide by nearly a third from their peak in 2005. Attendance is sagging, sponsorships are harder to come by, more than a few skilled drivers are still struggling to find regular rides and at least one former big-time team finished the year living paycheck to paycheck before being sold for cheap.

But NASCAR isn’t going anywhere. It’s got two years left on an eight-year, $4.5 billion TV deal with Fox, TNT and ESPN that runs through 2014.

But France is expected to begin talks on a new deal later this year and he’ll need more than luck just to get the $560 million NASCAR is bankrolling annually under the old one. He’s going to have to bring something new to the table and “Monday Night Racing� might not be a bad place to start looking. “We were talking about it on the back straightaway,� Earnhardt said afterward. “When you’re in the car, you don’t think about what night it is, and you could just forget, really, to be honest. “But whenever they want us to race,� he added, “we’ll race.�

TIGER WOODS SIGNS AUTOGRAPHS DURING A PRACTICE ROUND for the Honda Classic on Tuesday in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Woods is the subject of an upcoming book by his former swing coach, Hank Haney.

Woods’ agent rips book’s ‘armchair psychology’ PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA. — The agent for Tiger Woods lashed out Tuesday against Hank Haney’s book, saying his “armchair psychology� about Woods was “ridiculous� and that it was clear the former swing coach only cares about self-promotion.

Haney’s book about his six years as Woods’ coach is titled, “The Big Miss.� It is to go on sale March 27, a week before the Masters.

Golf Digest began releasing small excerpts Tuesday on its tablet applications and on its website. Haney’s book was written with help from Jaime Diaz, a senior writer at the magazine who has covered Woods more extensively than anyone over the years.

In one of the excerpts, Haney said his job became more difficult in 2007, when Woods had 12 majors and was getting closer to the record 18 won by Jack Nicklaus. “There was more urgency and less fun. ... He never mentioned Nicklaus’ record, but it started to weigh more heavily at every major,� the excerpt said. “And Tiger’s actions indicated he believed he had less time to do it than everyone thought.�

Haney said the objective of revamping his swing was to preserve his left knee.

He also said Woods was seriously considering becoming a Navy SEAL. Woods’ father, Earl, was a green beret in the Army who did two tours during the Vietnam War. “I didn’t know how he’d go about it, but when he talked about it, it was clear he had a plan,�

Haney writes in the excerpt. “I thought, ‘Wow, here is Tiger Woods, greatest athlete on the planet, maybe the greatest athlete ever, right in the middle of his prime, basically ready to leave it all behind for a military life.’�

Mark Steinberg, Woods’ agent at Excel Sports Management, said in a statement that excerpts show Haney’s claim of the book being about golf is “clearly false.� “His armchair psychology about Tiger, on matters he admits they didn’t even discuss, is ridiculous,� Steinberg said. “Because of his father, it’s no secret that Tiger has always had high respect for the military, so for Haney to twist that admiration into something negative is disrespectful.�

NFL

League sets Wednesday opener NEW YORK — Powerful as the NFL is, it’s making way for President Barack Obama.

Opting to play a game on a Wednesday for the first time in more than 60 years, the NFL will open the regular season on Sept. 5, to avoid conflicting with Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention the next night.

The Super Bowl champion New York Giants will host the Wednesday night season-opener starting at 7:30 p.m.; their opponent hasn’t been announced yet.

According to the league, it hasn’t played a game on a Wednesday since Sept. 22, 1948, when the Rams faced the Lions.

The NFL regular season has started on a Thursday since 2002. This year’s change was announced by the league on Tuesday.

LHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“The last time we played them we did relatively good,” Wright said.

“It’s when we started working well as a team and things started coming together for us. I think we have a chance if we play like that again.”

That game gave the Lions confidence, and they went on to win four of their next six games. However, LHS has lost seven straight since then, and coach Nick Wood knows O-South will be difficult to topple. If Lawrence, the No. 7 seed, has any hope of knocking off the No. 2 Falcons, Wood pinpointed the one thing LHS must thwart.

“Part of their main offense is their transition offense. We have to find a way to get back on defense,” the Lions coach said. “They push the ball extremely well.”

Wright said O-South ran better than any team Lawrence played this season.

“We had a designated person to be back every time,” she said, adding the Lions might have to send two or more players back in the rematch.

The Falcon who thrives most in transition is Alex Hugo, whom Wood called one of the most athletic guards in the state.

FSHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Frost agreed that the Firebirds, winners of 10 of their last 12 games, should benefit from having an ONorth game fresh in their collective memories.

“If it would’ve been the first or second game of the season, it would be different, because teams change so much between now and then,” Frost said. “But I think it’s good for us, especially the kids. They remember what worked and what didn’t.”

Garcia said Free State had success pressuring the ball, trapping, forcing the ball out of the hands of the Eagles’ primary guards, forcing perimeter shots and keeping O-North post touches to a minimum.

“It’s a good match-up,” she said.

Free State’s biggest concern, Frost said, comes in the post. The Firebirds have been working on ways to stop the Eagles’ 6-foot-3 junior, Jessica Sheble.

“If we let her catch it deep, she can hurt us,” he said.

The Firebirds think their sub-state bracket draw is one that could

“She runs the floor so well,” Wood said. “We have to find a way not only to get the ball stopped, but we’ve got to run back and find people quickly, because they’re coming at you. When we score, we don’t have time to celebrate or be happy for ourselves, and when we miss we don’t have time to pout about it.”

It will be up to LHS guards Wright, Marissa Pope, Christina Haswood, Kylie Seaman and Jolana Shield, as well as forwards Kionna Coleman, Monica Howard, Bri Anderson, Bri Anglin and Mutiyat Hameed, Wood said, to play their best transition defense of the season.

Other than that, the coach said, the Lions need to handle any pressure they face while limiting turnovers.

“We have to be able to find a way to slow the game down and get in the half-court,” Wood said.

The whole regular season, he added, should have prepared LHS for this game. And one game in particular could give the Lions a boost.

“Hopefully, it will help that we did go up there about a month and a half ago and played really well,” Wood said.

The winner of the game advances to a sub-state final on Friday at Leavenworth to face either No. 3 seed Free State or No. 6 Olathe North.

play out in their advantage. FSHS, should it win tonight, would face either No. 2 seed Olathe South or No. 7 Lawrence on Friday in Leavenworth with a chance to go to state. The Firebirds swept LHS and lost, 52-50, at O-South on a buzzer-beater.

Said Garcia: “We’re definitely excited. It’s definitely the match-ups we wanted.”

However, the anticipation of a rematch with the Falcons, Frost warned, could be problematic.

“The kids really wanted to play O-South,” Frost said. “That’s good if you get there, but the trouble with that is we have to win (tonight) and O-North, they’re not a bad team. If we come out and do what we’re supposed to do, then we have a good shot, but if we come out just wanting to play O-South it could be a long night.”

There is some added motivation for FSHS against O-North. The Firebirds weren’t happy that a 15-point first-half lead was trimmed to one in the third quarter. Frost said the Firebirds should be looking forward to a chance to play up to their capabilities tonight, when Duncan plans on being back with the team.

Mizzou, A&M to pay Big 12 IRVING, TEXAS (AP) — Texas A&M and Missouri have agreed to pay $12.4 million each to leave the Big 12 and join the Southeastern Conference in July.

Big 12 Interim Commissioner Chuck Neinas said Tuesday in a statement that the agreements were reached “though a collegial, respectful process among the Conference, its institutions,” and the departing schools.

Texas A&M will receive unspecified benefits from the Big 12’s new television contract with Fox Sports and “certain other concessions.”

“We appreciate the Big 12 working with us on a quick and amicable settlement,” said Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin, who indicated that the bottom-line financial impact of the withdrawal settlement for the university will be $9.31 million.

Missouri waived any claims to revenue from

“We are pleased to have these issues resolved and we wish the Big 12 and its con-

tinuing member institutions the best in the future,” University of Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton said.

The Big 12 is adding TCU and West Virginia next season to replace Texas A&M and Missouri.

The Mountaineers and the Big East settled competing lawsuits earlier this month, with the Big East receiving $20 million from the school and the Big 12 for West Virginia to join next football season.

Sutherland CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Heading into the final home game of her career, Sutherland ranks second in career blocks (144), third all-time in rebounding (867) and seventh in games played (125).

None of those totals have surprised Henrickson, even if it took her a little longer than normal to offer Sutherland a scholarship.

“I really just felt that if she would buy in and commit to me growing her game, she had the tools to become a really, really special player,” Henrickson said. “You don’t play in this league and put up those kinds of numbers and not be significant, and certainly she is.”

The first time Henrickson actually saw Sutherland play in person, the ultra-athletic forward logged just one minute of action while playing for what Henrickson said was the best AAU team in the country. Because Sutherland’s father, Clinton, had played at the University of Cincinnati — and later professionally overseas — she always leaned on her dad to help shape her game. When the recruiting began to pick up, the Sutherlands believed it best for her to receive the exposure that AAU ball could bring, so she gave the AAU circuit a crack.

It worked. But just barely.

After initially seeing such a limited sample of Sutherland’s abilities, Henrickson returned to California in the fall to watch her practice.

“We didn’t know enough about her,” Henrickson recalled. “I went out there and said, ‘Let me just watch a practice.’

About five minutes in I (decided), ‘OK, we’re gonna offer.’”

After receiving the offer, Sutherland became sold while visiting Kansas for Late Night.

“That was a long time ago,” she laughed. “But I just wanted to go play basketball. After I came to

Late Night, I just wanted to come here. The atmosphere was great. And the fans, it was great. After Late Night, I didn’t really care how far I was going.”

As the only senior on this year’s roster, Sutherland will have the Senior Night stage to herself tonight. She won’t mind. In fact, she’s used to it.

“After Angel got hurt, I was the only sophomore,” she said. “Last year, I was the only junior, and now I’m the only senior. It’s my night, but I want to make sure we stay focused and play together. We need to win this game. After that, it’s all the fun, walking and hugging everybody.”

When reflecting upon her place among KU’s alltime greats, the humble and playful power forward stayed true to the

Kansas women’s golf takes ninth J-W Staff Reports

She finished eighth at Louisville’s tournament, and Kansas fell one spot on the final day to end the tournament in a tie for ninth place (with Big 12 foe Missouri) with a team score of 919.

Asked what ranking near the top of so many career lists meant to her, Sutherland stuck to the script.

“It was great. We were all dancing. I’ve done it four times now,” said redshirt junior center Jeff Withey. “It’s always the same, a great feeling,” he added. “It’s really fun to be able to do that.”

The Big 12 coaches picked KU and Texas A&M as co-favorites to win the league. Others were more skeptical, figuring KU was in for a down year by the Jayhawks’ standards.

“How did we do it?

We worked hard,” Withey said. “We have great coaches. People said this would be our off year, but we all took it to heart and worked hard. When you have the player of the year on your team, it definitely helps,” Withey added of Thomas Robinson.

Self was asked on his Hawk Talk radio show why he puts more emphasis on winning the league than other Big 12 coaches.

“I don’t think that’s an accurate statement. Every coach puts emphasis on winning the league because that’s who you compete against. If you are able to win the Big 12, you have a chance to be pretty good nationally,” Self said.

“Bragging rights means a lot to everybody,” Self added, while noting, “the postseason (NCAAs) trumps it. We are happy where our season is, but we shouldn’t be patting anybody on the back now.

We did what we wanted to do. It’s the first stage.

Hopefully there are bigger and better things out there for us. We can’t relax. It’s been a good year.

Now you’ve got to make it a great year. The only way to do that is play well in the postseason.”

and 7-9 in Big 12 play, the Jayhawks need every victory they can get to keep alive their hopes of playing in the NCAA Tournament. With the Cowboys (14-11, 6-10) sitting one game back in the league standings, staying ahead of the pack is more important than ever for the Jayhawks.

“They’re a team that’s kind of in the same boat we are,” Henrickson said of OSU. “We talked (last Tuesday) about Texas Tech and us kind of staring at each other saying, ‘We need to get you.’ This is the same thing.”

Despite all of the potential distractions surrounding her, Sutherland has her mind fixed on facing the Cowboys.

After all, it’s a match-up she likes, even if she’s

not expecting things to go quite as well as they did during KU’s 65-60 victory on Jan. 18 at Oklahoma State. In that one, Sutherland led the Jayhawks with 15 points and a career-best 22 rebounds.

“Since I did get 22 rebounds there, I feel like they’re going to box me out,” the KU senior said.

“I’m sure their main focus is going to be box me out and put a lot more pressure on me and not let me do the things I’m good at doing.”

As for KU’s main focus, Henrickson summed that up with ease: “We all care so much about Aishah, and the most important thing for us is to win and to send her out of here with a victory on Senior Night.”

O The seniors will start again: Self said starting guard Tyshawn Taylor would be joined by fellow senior reserves Conner Teahan and Jordan Juenemann in Saturday’s starting lineup versus Texas.

“The three seniors will start. We always do that,” Self said. “Jordan walked on, has been with us four years and has done a really good job. Conner has been with us about as long as (Brady) M o r n ingstar it seems,” S e l f cracked of the fifthyear senior.

“I’m proud of Conner.

Boy did he come up Juenemann big against Missouri ( f o u r threes).

Of course Tyshawn ... I don’t know if I’ve been around many who Teahan have come as far as he has in so many ways.”

S e l f said junior Thomas Robinson w o u l d Taylor not give a speech after the game, but could be recognized in some way. Though no official announcement has been made, it’s a given he will be turning pro after the season.

“People have asked me about Thomas (on Senior Night). As much as I care for him and stuff, we do have a history and tradition. This is Senior Night, not Junior Night,” Self said on his radio show.

“I do think our fans would certainly pay a tribute to him. I’m sure we’ll be able to make that happen in some form or fashion for a guy who has given us so many thrills.”

O Withey’s ankle OK: Seven-footer Withey, who sprained his left ankle early in Saturday’s victory over Missouri, scored six points and grabbed two rebounds in 16 foul-plagued minutes Monday at OSU. “It felt good to be out there,” Withey said. “I’ve had a lot of treatment since the Missouri game.

It’s still a little hard to cut.

It’ll get a lot better. We have awhile before our next game. It’ll be fine.”

O On Traylor, McLemore: KU senior Taylor commented on ineligible freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor, who have practiced, but not played in games this semester.

“He’s for sure a pro,” Taylor said of the 6-5 McLemore Tuesday on SiriusXM’s Inside College Basketball show. “He’s young, is long and is the best athlete in terms of getting off the floor.”

Of the 6-7 Traylor, Taylor said: “He’s like a 6-foot7 T-Rob. He’s strong, real athletic and is a beast from Chicago. He plays hard every possession.”

O No game against NU: The Omaha World-Herald says KU and Nebraska have talked about starting a series beginning next season.

The paper said, “it would always be a road game for NU, but some games would be played at the Sprint Center in Kansas City.”

“We never talked about anything but one game,” said KU schedule maker, Larry Keating. “It was so preliminary we didn’t even discuss it here ...

Nothing is going to happen this year.”

Indiana sinks No. 5 MSU Andre Hollins led the Gophers with 18 points, while Ralph Sampson III finished with eight points to give him 1,004 for his career. He is the fifth player in Minnesota history with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 150 blocks.

No. 18 Indiana 70, No. 5 Michigan St. 55 BLOOMINGTON, IND. — Cody Zeller scored 18 points and Victor Oladipo added 13 for Indiana in its third victory over a top five team this season.

The Hoosiers (22-7, 10-7 Big Ten) are the second team to achieve that feat this season, joining Kansas which did it with a win over Missouri on Saturday. Indiana upset No. 1 Kentucky and No. 2 Ohio State in December and now the Spartans, who could have clinched their second outright Big Ten title in four seasons with a victory.

Draymond Green had 29 points for Michigan State (24-6, 13-4), which can still win the outright crown with a victory over No. 10 Ohio State on Sunday.

Michigan State had won six straight in the series and seven straight overall.

It was Indiana coach Tom Crean’s first win over Tom Izzo, his former boss at Michigan State.

No. 4 Duke 79, Wake Forest 71 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Ryan Kelly scored a career-high 23 points and Duke held on to beat Wake Forest for its seventh straight win.

Kelly put up 20 points against the Demon Deacons for the third straight time, and Seth Curry finished with 15 points for the Blue Devils (26-4, 13-2 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Duke led by 23 points with 9 1/2 minutes left before Wake Forest made things tense late.

Nikita Mescheriakov and Tony Chennault both had 18 points for the Demon Deacons (13-16, 4-11).

Their best chance came when they had the ball down 72-66 with less than two minutes left.

INDIANA FORWARD CODY ZELLER, TOP, GETS A DUNK over Michigan State forward Draymond Green in the first half on Tuesday in Bloomington, Ind. Duke milked the shot clock and Miles Plumlee chased down the critical offensive rebound of Tyler Thornton’s missed jumper with just over 1 minute left. Curry hit two free throws with 48.9 seconds left to make it 74-66.

The Blue Devils become the third team in school history — and first since 1999-2000 — to finish 8-0 in ACC road games and remained on a roll entering Saturday night’s visit from No. 6 North Carolina.

No. 14 Wisconsin 52, Minnesota 45 MADISON, WIS. — Jordan Taylor scored 22 points to lead Wisconsin, which clinched a first-round bye in the Big Ten tournament.

Both teams shot poorly, there were 43 fouls called and the teams combined to shoot 58 free throws.

But the Badgers (22-8, 11-6 Big Ten) found their shooting touch in the second half to secure at least a fourth-place finish in the conference.

Minnesota (17-13, 5-12) led 23-16 at halftime. But Wisconsin opened the second half on a 9-2 run to tie it at 25 on a three-point play by Mike Bruesewitz.

Minutes later, with the game tied at 27, Minnesota coach Tubby Smith was called for a technical foul, and Taylor hit both free throws to give Wisconsin its first lead since 11-10 midway through the first half. Taylor followed with a three-pointer, and Wisconsin didn’t trail the rest of the way.

Vanderbilt 77, No. 16 Florida 67 NASHVILLE, TENN. — John Jenkins hit six threepointers and finished with 22 points as Vanderbilt clinched a first-round bye in the Southeastern Conference tournament.

The Commodores (219, 10-5) outshot the nation’s top three-point shooting team behind Jenkins, and he easily topped his average of 3.9 3-pointers by hitting his first five from beyond the arc. They are tied with Florida for second in the SEC with one game left in the regular season.

Vanderbilt, which snapped a four-game losing streak to the Gators, can finish no worse than third in the SEC going into its finale Saturday at Tennessee. Jeffery Taylor added 18 points and Festus Ezeli had 11.

Bradley Beal scored 16 points, Erving Walker 15, Kenny Boynton 11 for Florida (22-8, 10-5), which has lost two straight. The Gators still can finish second by themselves if they beat No. 1 Kentucky at home on Sunday.

KANSAS STATE’S JAMAR SAMUELS (32) BLOCKS a shot attempt by Texas A&M’s Dash Harris at Reed Arena on Tuesday in College Station, Texas.

K-State survives at A&M, 76-70 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (AP) — Kansas State coach Frank Martin counts on Rodney McGruder to keep his team composed in high-pressure situations.

On Tuesday night McGruder did that for his teammates, and his coach.

“He keeps me calm,” Martin said.

McGruder scored 26 points with five threepointers to lead Kansas State to a 76-70 win over struggling Texas A&M. Texas A&M used a 6-0 run, capped by a jump shot by Dash Harris, to cut Kansas State’s lead to 6663 with about three minutes left.

McGruder responded with a three-pointer before a layup by Harris on the other end. A put-back dunk by Jordan Henriquez and a pair of free throws by Angel Rodriguez stretched the lead to 73-65 with less than a minute remaining.

“We’ve matured as a team. We were able to manage that moment and not

lose our composure,” Martin said of A&M’s late rally.

“It’s a good win for us.”

McGruder said he simply reminded his teammates not to get rattled by A&M’s run in the timeout before he hit the 3-pointer.

The victory gave Kansas State (20-9, 9-8 Big 12) 20 wins for the sixth straight season and 25th time in school history.

Elston Turner had 22 points for Texas A&M (13-16, 4-13), which has dropped four in a row.

Celtics 86, Cavaliers 83 CLEVELAND — Ray Allen scored 22 points, Kevin Garnett added 18, and Boston beat Cleveland on Tuesday night to snap a five-game losing streak.

Boston, which couldn’t hold a 16-point lead in the first quarter, avoided its first six-game skid since dropping seven in a row from April 4-15, 2007.

Kyrie Irving returned from a bruised elbow that sidelined him late in the second quarter and led Cleveland with 24 points, 19 in the second half.

Irving hit two free throws with 1:21 remaining to give Cleveland an 81-80 lead. After Allen missed a three-pointer, Garnett tipped Irving’s pass, leading to Allen’s dunk with 48.6 seconds left.

76ers 97, Pistons 68 AUBURN HILLS, MICH. — Thaddeus Young scored 12 of his 20 points in a pivotal second quarter, and All-Star Andre Iguodala had 12 points, six assists and four steals to help Philadelphia beat Detroit and snap a five-game losing streak.

Philadelphia coach Doug Collins left the bench between the third and fourth quarters, walking to the team’s locker room, and didn’t return to the court because of flulike symptoms.

The Atlantic Divisionleading Sixers have been at their best against the lowly Pistons, beating them twice at home by an average of 22 points and routing them Tuesday night in the first game for both teams after the AllStar break.

Get your plate in shape nutritionally in 2012 Q: year?

What’s the theme for National Nutrition Month this

Cooking Q&A

A:

During the month of March, the 2012 National Nutrition Month theme is “Get Your Plate in Shape.” Launched in June 2011, USDA’s MyPlate replaced MyPyramid as the government’s primary food group symbol as an easy-to-understand visual cue to help consumers adopt healthy eating habits consistent with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines.

Dividing the plate into four sections — fruits, vegetables, grains and proteins — as well as a glass representing dairy products, it shows consumers how they can incorporate the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines into every meal.

National Nutrition Month, sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association), helps consumers understand how to implement these suggestions into their daily lives.

The academy offers the following healthy eating recommendations: Make half your plate

fruits and vegetables. Eat a variety of vegetables, especially dark-green, red and orange varieties, as well as beans and peas.

When buying canned vegetables, choose “reduced sodium” or “no salt added” whenever possible. Rinsing whole varieties like beans, corn and peas can also reduce sodium levels.

Dried and frozen fruits and those canned in water or their own juice are good options when fresh varieties are not available.

Make sure every meal and snack has at least one fruit or vegetable or both.

Make at least half your grains whole. Choose brown rice, barley and oats and other whole grains for your sides and ingredients. Switch to

100 percent whole-grain breads, cereals and crackers. Check the ingredients list on food packages to find foods that are made with whole grains.

Switch to fat-free or low-fat milk. Fat-free and low-fat milk have the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients as whole milk, but less fat and fewer calories.

If you are lactose intolerant, try lactose-free milk or a calcium-fortified soy beverage.

Vary your protein choices. Eat a variety of foods each week from the protein food group like seafood, nuts and beans, as well as lean meat, poultry and eggs. Eat more plantbased proteins such as nuts, beans, whole grains and whole soy foods like tofu and edamame. At least twice a week, make fish and seafood the protein on your plate. Keep meat and poultry portions lean and limit to three ounces per meal.

Cut back on sodium and empty calories from solid fats and added sugars. Drink water instead of sugary drinks like regular sodas, fruit-flavored drinks and sweetened teas and coffees. Choose 100

percent fruit juice. Compare sodium in foods and choose those with the least amount listed on the Nutrition Facts Panel.

Season foods with spices, herbs and flavored vinegars instead of salt. Use heart-healthy oils like olive, canola and sunflower oil in place of butter or shortening when cooking.

Academy spokeswoman Andrea Giancoli recommends cooking more often at home, where you are in control of what is in your food. “And don’t forget that exercise and healthful eating are crucial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle,” Giancoli says.

“Choose activities you enjoy like going for a walk with your family, joining a sports team, dancing or playing with your children. If you don’t have a full 30 minutes, carve out 10 minutes three times a day. Every bit adds up and health benefits increase

Detroit Free Press

If there’s one thing Catholics count on during Lent, it’s that churches and other organizations are heating up the oil for fish fries.

It’s a long and popular tradition for Christians who observe the preEaster season by forgoing meat on Fridays. (Of course, you don’t have to be a Christian to love a good fish fry.)

Tim Huber started the Lenten fish fries at First United Methodist Church in Royal Oak, Mich., 15 years ago to raise funds for youth programs.

Through the years, he has banked on Icelandic cod that has been frozen at sea, stark white haddock and skin-on walleye to satisfy the hundreds who come by. And Huber, a fish broker, knows his fish.

“I took the best ideas from around the area for making fish,” he says of his frying system. The fish is lightly dredged in seasoned cracker meal and then dipped in a batter made from Drake’s Crispy Frymix.

First United Methodist’s events are well-organized and draw many from outside the church.

Patrons wait just a few minutes for their meals, which include a baked potato or fries, coleslaw and dessert.

“We will serve no fish before its time,” Huber says. “Nothing sits under the warming lamps.”

And with fish, Huber adds, “it’s against the law not to have any coleslaw.”

Fish frying 101 Want to fry fish at home so it’s crisp on the outside and tender on the inside? Here are a few pointers from Tim Huber, who runs the Royal Oak First United Methodist Church’s fish fries, and the Free Press Test Kitchen.

Thaw and rinse the fish and pat dry. Huber says cod, pollock or haddock are best. Make sure the pieces are about the same size for even cooking. If you use walleye, lake perch or catfish, Huber advises to bread, not batter, them. (To bread, dip the fish in a beaten egg and then in bread or panko crumbs.)

Preheat the oil (peanut or canola) to 350 degrees and maintain that temperature. “The fish will be greasy if it’s not up to tem-

perature,” Huber says. Fill a large skillet or deep pot with enough oil to cover fish.

If you’re using a wet batter, it should be the consistency of thin pancake batter. Start by adding water slowly to the dry mix. The batter should coat the back of a spoon or drip off a whisk in a steady stream. If you use beer instead of water, it will cause the coating to puff up.

If you like, dredge the fish in seasoned flour (Huber prefers cracker meal) before dipping in the batter. It helps the batter adhere. Shake off the excess flour first. Use enough seasoning so that you can taste it. (Huber uses Lawry’s.)

If you’re using only a dry mix, dredge the fish in it and shake off the excess.

Huber uses a fork to take the fish out of the batter to place in the hot oil. He says it avoids making marks in the batter.

Fry the fish in the hot oil until it is a deep golden color and crisp, about 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces.

Drain on paper towels.

If you’re doing lots of fish, do it outside so the deep-frying smell doesn’t linger in the house.

Fish-fry mixes Most of the fish-fry mixes sold at stores are seasoned. Here are some commonly found mixes.

Use as directed on the package or simply dredge the fish in them and fry away.

Andy’s Seasoned Breading: These cornmealbased products can be used to bake, broil or fry.

Varieties include Andy’s Yellow Breading and Andy’s Red Breading, which has Hungarian paprika (not hot), and Cajun and low-sodium varieties.

Drake’s Crispy Frymix: The mix consists of flour, salt, cornmeal, herbs and spices. You can mix it with water or another liquid such as beer. Look for the company’s signature white duck on the box.

McCormick Golden Dipt Fish Fry Seafood Fry Mix: One 10-ounce package is enough for 4 pounds of fish. The product is made with three different flours and a special pepper and spice blend.

Mix with water or milk, and bake or fry fish.

Zatarain’s Fish Fry Mixes: There are several varieties, from Crispy Southern Seasoned to flavors

like lemon pepper and garlic. This is mainly a corn flour-based mix with seasonings.

Fried Perch with Sweet Coleslaw and Tartar Sauce Preparation time: 15 minutes, Total time: 1 hour Oil for deep frying 2 pounds perch fillets (or cod or haddock) 1 cup Drake’s Crispy Frymix (or favorite fish fry mix) 3/4 cup cool water (use beer if you want a puffy crust) 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons Morton Season All Seasoned Salt 2 teaspoons reducedsodium Old Bay seasoning Tartar Sauce (see below) Coleslaw (see below) Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees. Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets.

In a bowl, mix together the Drake’s mix and water. The batter should be like a thin pancake batter. Set aside.

On a plate, mix together the flour, Season All and Old Bay seasoning. When the oil is hot, working in batches, dredge the fish fillets in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the fish in the hot oil and fry about 6 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove to paper towel-lined plate and drain. Serve with tartar and coleslaw.

To make tartar sauce: Mix 1 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons chopped capers (optional), 1/4 cup pickle relish and about 1 tablespoon pickle juice. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

To make coleslaw: In a large bowl, place 2 cups sliced red cabbage, 16 ounces packaged coleslaw mix with carrots, 1 bunch thinly sliced green onions and 1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley. In a separate bowl, mix 16 ounces light slaw dressing with 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 teaspoons celery seed, salt and pepper to taste. Stir dressing into slaw; cover and refrigerate 1 hour before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

CHEF ALLI

Chocolate Pavlova an elegant dessert

By Chef Alli

Pavlova is a meringuebased dessert said to be named in honor of the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, during or directly following her 1920s tour of New Zealand and Australia. When I think of her namesake, this elegant confection, I can easily envision how beautifully and gracefully she must have danced. It is likely she attracted great attention, just as you will, upon the presentation of Pavlova to your dinner guests.

It is also probable that you will find them bickering over who gets the first slice, just as New Zealand and Australia fought for years over who could take the credit for the creation of this glorious dessert!

Chocolate Pavlova 4 large egg whites, room temperature 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/8 teaspoon table salt 1 cup plus 2 Tbs. granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch 1 Tbs. red wine vinegar 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon fresh tangerine zest 1 1/2 cups of fresh berries

(I like the combination of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, with a bit of chopped kiwi fruit for added color) Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a piece of parchment paper so that it fits flat on a baking sheet. With a pencil, trace a circle around a 9-inch cake or pie pan in the center of the parchment. Line the baking sheet with the parchment, pencil side facing down, still allowing you to see the circle.

Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a large dry bowl on medium speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Combine 1 cup of the sugar with the cornstarch and add, a tablespoon at a time, to the beaten egg white mixture along with the vinegar; whip on medium high until the whites hold stiff peaks and look very glossy, approximately 3-5 minutes. Add the cocoa powder and mix on low speed until mostly combined, 20-30 seconds, scraping the bowl as needed. Finish folding the cocoa into the meringue by hand, using a rubber spatula, until well combined and no streaks of white remain.

Pile the prepared meringue mixture inside the circle on the parchment paper. Using the spatula, spread the meringue to even

volume when whipped at room temperature. Therefore, separate the eggs directly after removing them from the fridge, then let the egg whites sit for 30 minutes to come to room temperature. (I save my yolks to make pudding at a later time.)

Be sure that anything that comes in contact with the egg whites (bowls, fingers, utensils) is as clean and free of oils as possible.

If you discover a bit of egg yolk in with your whites, remove it immediately, using a piece of clean eggshell.

Because egg whites are pure protein, they gain volume from being whipped, especially when at room temperature.

Start with your mixer on low, increasing the speed in small increments, until you get the consistency and volume you desire.

Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until the meringue is shiny and forms stiff peaks.

it out slightly — it doesn’t need to align perfectly with the circle, and it shouldn’t be perfectly smooth or overworked. (The natural swirls and ridges give the finished meringue character!)

Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, then reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake until the meringue has puffed and cracked around its edges, another 45-50 minutes.

Turn off the oven, prop the oven door open, and leave the meringue in the oven to cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes. (This allows the meringue time to cool gradually, very important!)

Just before serving, place the cooled meringue onto a serving platter. In a chilled bowl, beat the cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until it holds soft peaks. Whip in the tangerine zest, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Pile the prepared whipped cream onto the meringue, spreading it almost out to the edge, and then top with the berries. Slice into wedges with a serrated knife.

Pepsi takes aim at mid-calorie market NEW YORK (AP) — Pepsi is hoping to win back soda drinkers with a compromise.

Some people don’t like the calories in regular soda, but loathe the taste of zero-calorie diet drinks.

So the nation’s No. 2 cola company is rolling out “Pepsi Next,” a cola that has about half the calories of regular Pepsi at 60 calories per can.

The cola, which is slated to hit store shelves nationally by the end of March, is Pepsi’s biggest product launch in years.

The drink comes as people increasingly move away from sugary drinks to water and other lowercalorie beverages because of health concerns. It’s also an attempt by Pepsi to revive the cola wars against Coke and others.

Pepsi Next isn’t the first drink to try to hit the sweet spot between diet and regular cola. Dr Pepper Snapple rolled out its low-calorie Dr Pepper Ten, which has 10 calories. The company said the drink, which has sugar unlike its diet soda, helped boost its fourth-quarter sales.

But coming up with a successful “mid-calorie soda,” which has more calories, has been more chal-

In 2001, Coke rolled out “C2” and Pepsi in 2004 introduced its “Pepsi Edge,” both of which had about half the calories of regular soda. Both products also were taken off the market by 2006 because of poor sales.

“The problem was that consumers either wanted regular soda or a diet drink with zero calories — not something in between,” said John Sicher, editor and publisher of

Beverage Digest.

Pepsi says its latest stab at an in-between soda uses a different formula to more closely imitate the taste of regular soda. Pepsi Next is made with a mix of three artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup.

Pepsi Next also follows the company’s lower-calorie variations of its other drinks. Gatorade, a unit of Pepsi, has “G2,” which at 20 calories has a little less than half the calories of the original version. And

the company’s Tropicana unit introduced “Trop50,” which is half of the 110 calories in a regular 8-ounce glass of orange juice.

But orange juice and sports drinks have nutritional benefits that a drink maker can market. A midcalorie soda is a tougher sell because it provides only empty calories. So health-conscious drinkers usually opt for diet soda or quit soda altogether.

Sales in the $74 billion soft drink industry have been fizzling out, with volume falling steadily since 2005, according to Beverage Digest, which tracks the industry. Meanwhile, healthier drinks are growing more popular, with bottled water accounting for 11 percent of all beverages consumed in 2010, up from 2 percent in 2000.

Consumption of sports drink rose to 2.3 percent, from 1.2 percent.

Diet soda also rose to 29.9 percent of the carbonated drink market in 2010, up from 24.7 percent a decade earlier. To keep up with changing tastes, Coke and Pepsi have introduced newer versions of their diet drinks — Coke Zero and Pepsi Max — that promise a taste that’s more like their regular sodas.

Contrary to popular belief, drinking a lot of beer is not the only point of a beer festival.

Free State Brewery owner Chuck Magerl says Lawrence’s inaugural Kansas Craft Brewers Exposition, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Abe & Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., is a chance for attendees to not only taste different craft beers, but also to learn about the brewing process from artisans whose tools include hops and barley.

“This is a time for beer producers and beer enthusiasts to socialize,” says Magerl. “It’s a chance for brewers to get together with each other and for them to share stories with current and new customers.”

The sold-out expo, organized by the Kansas Craft Brewer’s Guild and Downtown Lawrence Inc., will feature samples of craft beers from more

BREWERS ATTENDING THE BEER EXPO More than 20 breweries will be at the Kansas Craft Beer Exposition. Among them: 23rd Street Brewery, Lawrence Free State Brewery, Lawrence Boulevard Brewing Co., Kansas City

McCoy’s Public House, Kansas City Flying Monkey, Kansas City Schlafly Beer, St. Louis Great Divide Brewing Co., Denver Anchor Brewing Co., San Francisco For a full list, visit www. kscraftbrewfest.com.

than 20 Midwest brewers, and from several brewers from Colorado and California. If all goes well, Magerl says the expo could become an annual event.

Unlike your average Budweiser, craft beers are produced in comparatively small, independently owned production facilities. Craft beer brewers use traditional ingredients and methods, meaning their brews are maltbased and do not rely on large amounts of sugar or corn.

“A lot of what is special about craft beer are the stories behind the beers,” says Magerl. “There is a

sense of artisanship. You know that a human being is engaged in the process and that it’s not just coming out of a pipe at a production facility.”

Magerl says some breweries often use events like the expo to sample new brews, and some beer geeks will likely get to taste beers that have yet to be tapped for the masses.

John Dean, brewmaster for Topeka’s Blind Tiger Brewery, says he will likely pour the new West Coaststyle Top Gun IPA , in addition to a regular festival favorite, the robust Java Porter, which the brewery calls a “breakfast beer.”

THE FLYING FORK

a blog by Megan Stuke

Lasagna makeover cuts the calories, not flavor

L

earning to cook “on the lighter side” has been kind of fun, and I’ve put several new tricks into my tool belt. I’ve been at this for about a month now, and I’m getting in the swing of the new system.

My husband has not been complaining — I’ve been cooking more often than I used to because we can’t just hit a fast food joint or pull out a frozen pizza on a busy night if I am going to stay on track. So he’s been getting a lot of homecooked love and he has, for the most part, been happy with all the results (he just eats twice as much as I do). But I know deep down in his Mr. Meat and Potatoes heart, he has missed some of our standards. He missed sausage and pasta and cheese.

I had offered to baby-sit a couple of munchkins besides our own on Friday night, and Mr. Meat and Potatoes was going to have to help! “Hi, honey! Here’s an 18-month-old, a 5-year-old, and our 2-year-old! Have fun!” So in order to keep him happy and on my team, I decided to make lasagna.

Except, this time, it wasn’t going to bust the Weight Watchers scale.

In order to control the pasta, I decided to make my own. Making your own pasta is really not that big of a deal, especially if you are doing lasagna noodles that don’t need to be cut into smaller noodles or formed into fancy shapes. You just make your dough, run it through the pasta maker a few times, and voila, beautiful homemade sheets of pasta for Friday night dinner.

I wanted to make my own for a couple of reasons. I had tried whole wheat pasta from the store and found it to be very unsatisfying in both taste and texture. Also, I wanted my sheets of pasta to be thinner than regular lasagna noodles. The thinner the sheets, the fewer the points!

This recipe only needs a small batch of pasta, so you can get it going in no time.

Basic Whole Wheat Pasta Dough 1 cup white flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 egg 2 egg whites cold water (start with 1/2 cup and go up from there) pinch of salt I just dump all of this into Please see LASAGNA, page 9B

GREEN TEA HAS GAINED IN POPULARITY in recent years because of its health benefits. Proper brewing techniques will enhance the flavor of any type of tea.

By Family Features

Hot or iced, decaf or caffeinated, with milk or with sugar, there are a lot of ways to enjoy drinking one of the world’s most popular beverages — tea. In addition to knowing your preferred way of enjoying tea, it is important to know the right way to brew it. Below

are some simple tips to ensure a flawless cup.

The perfect cup of tea starts with fresh water. If tap water is being used, let the water run for a few minutes so it’s as fresh as can be.

If you plan on serving your tea in a teapot, preheat the pot. This prevents cracking that could occur when boiling water is placed in a

pot that is room temperature.

Brewing time depends on the type of tea you are preparing and how strong you’d like it to be. Green tea only needs about 1 to 4 minutes. Black tea generally steeps for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Be sure to use a tea cozy if you are keeping tea in a teapot for a while. Reheating the

tea will cause the tea to have less flavor.

Going Green Growing in popularity, and with good reason, green tea is a consumer favorite and provides a number of benefits.

Research suggests that drinking 2 to 3 cups per day of green (or black) tea may help support normal,

healthy vascular function. For those looking for the benefits of green tea along with the added advantage of fruit flavor and nutrients, Lipton makes a line of green teas with superfruit flavors. This includes flavors such as Red Goji and Raspberry, White Peach and Mangosteen, and Purple Acai and Blueberry.

Wine of the Week FOR FEBRUARY 27TH  MARCH 4TH

J. LOHR ‘SEVEN OAKS’

2010 Cabernet Sauvignon

Paso Robles, CA

The 2010 Seven Oaks is red-purple in color with a bright hue at release. Ripe fruit aromas of black plum, blueberry and cherry are mixed into a bouquet of roasted hazelnut, vanilla and coconut from a year in barrel. Mature and round on the palate, this wellstructured vintage has a generous fruit signature and soft finish.” -Winemaker’s Notes. At this price, there’s no better time to rediscover one of the most consistent Central Coast Cabernets out there.

It’s like the buddy system… for parents.

Dear Annie: I have been friends with “Laura” since my husband and I moved here 22 years ago. She is financially better off than I am (and flaunts it), but it never bothered me until she decided we should exchange Christmas gifts a few years back.

Laura can be very judgmental, and finding the right present for her was difficult. Costume jewelry would be rejected, and the real stuff was out of reach. Meanwhile, whenever Laura was selling Tupperware or purses, I always bought something in order to be supportive.

Last year, she started a baking business, so I bought her a cupcake holder for Christmas.

However, she had a Christmas party a few days before the actual holiday, so instead of giving her the holder, I gave her a hostess gift of a cookbook, intending to give her the cupcake

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

holder at our personal gift exchange.

The day after her party, she called and told me off. She said my presents were “cheap.” I tried to explain about the hostess gift, but she would hear none of it. I was angry, and so was she. On her birthday two weeks later, I texted, “Happy birthday,” but she didn’t respond. In fact, Laura has not spoken a word to me for more than a year.

Last summer, I tried to mend things. I sent a letter saying I was sorry I’d hurt her feelings, but

‘Psych’ channels its own mojo A bromance fueled by goofball camaraderie and throwaway dialogue based almost entirely on pop culture nerd-dom, “Psych” (9 p.m., USA) enters its seventh season showing few signs of flagging.

The concept of two wisecrackers facing unending peril with glib aplomb dates back at least to the old Bob Hope-Bing Crosby “Road” pictures of the 1940s. The films may seem dated, but their comic sensibility has long influenced funny men, most notably Woody Allen and Conan O’Brien.

In tonight’s episode, Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dule Hill) become embroiled in yet another gallery burglary with shades of “Indiana J o n e s ” thrown in for atmosphere.

Things get trickier when Shawn enlists a thief, series regular Despereaux (Cary Elwes), to catch a ring of heistmeisters. A foppish stock character straight out of comic books, Despereaux appears to hold a spell over Shawn. Gus seems more threatened by Shawn’s man-crush on this bon vivant criminal than his romance with Juliet (Maggie Lawson). As in the old “Road” movies and Marx Brothers comedies, girls are strictly for distraction, scenery and comic relief. The real bonds of affection lay elsewhere.

Sometimes it seems like TV writers never want to leave grammar school. Why else would they so dutifully commemorate every holiday? Sitcoms’ obsession with Valentine’s Day reminds me of third grade, when the sharing of little cards and candy was all but compulsory.

No special day is more special to the under-10 set than Leap Day on Feb. 29, a day that arrives every four years. And to have a birthday on that day marks you as both a minor celebrity and slightly pitiable. “Leap Day” story lines are at the center of tonight’s episodes of “The Middle” (7 p.m., ABC) and “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC). Does that mean they’ll only show up as repeats every four years?

Tonight’s other highlights

Female semi-finalists compete on a two-hour “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

A baby vanishes during a blackout on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

Andre Braugher guest-stars on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (9 p.m., NBC).

The Graysons circle the wagons on “Revenge” (9 p.m., ABC).

Cult choice A man (Richard Gere) grows increasingly unhinged after discovering his wife’s (Diane Lane) infidelity in the 2002 drama “Unfaithful” (7 p.m. and 9 p.m., WE).

BIRTHDAYS

Actress Michele Morgan is 92.

Former All-Star baseball player Al Rosen is 88. Former space shuttle astronaut Jack Lousma is 76. Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople is 72. Actor Dennis Farina is 68. Motivational speaker Tony Robbins is 52. Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. is 40. Rapper Ja Rule is 36.

a Christmas gift seemed like a silly reason to end a 20-year friendship. I heard nothing back. I’m still upset about it. My husband says I am better off without her if she measures a friendship by the quality of the gifts.

The problem is, when Laura was selling real estate, she helped my son purchase his first home.

He is getting married in July. Should I send her an invitation? — California Dear California: You are not obligated to invite Laura to the wedding. But if you do and she chooses to attend, it creates the opportunity to renew the friendship (if that’s what you want). Unless you cannot afford to have her as a guest, there is no downside to sending an invitation.

Dear Annie: Whenever my husband makes a mistake, does something incorrectly or doesn’t know the answer, he uses a very whiny voice and says, “I

guess I’m just stupid.”

Our children and I have reminded him on numerous occasions that he is not stupid. We have asked why he thinks a simple mistake is so terrible. We have tried ignoring the comment, asking him whether he is looking to garner sympathy or attention, and requesting point-blank that he stop saying that. Nothing seems to work.

Lately, he is using this comment more and more often. Is this type of self-deprecating behavior normal? — Mary from Missouri Dear Mary: This sounds like a pattern from childhood combined with a need to be constantly reassured. If everything else about your husband seems normal, we’d ignore this, perhaps saying, “It’s OK, dear.” But if you notice other unusual behaviors, please suggest he see his doctor.

You like excitement, and you have it. This energy could surround a loved one or child. On the other hand, it could surround jolting news. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You could see some wild swings take place financially. Your bank could make a mistake, or you might buy a lottery ticket. Before you decide if you are lucky, make sure the bank clears the check or the events are real. Tonight: Order in.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.
