TOPEKA — The Kansas House on Wednesday advanced gun bills that could produce confrontations between state and federal law officers, and open up campuses, classrooms and the Statehouse to concealed weapons.

Supporters said the bills would make Kansas safer and assert the constitutional right to bear arms. Opponents said the measures would endanger public safety and lead to costly litigation.

House Bill LEGISLATURE 2199, called the Second Amendment Protection Act, and House Bill 2055, expanding concealed carry, were approved on a voice vote. A record vote during final action is scheduled for Thursday.

The most heated debate surrounded HB 2199, which says that any personal firearm, accessory or ammunition that is owned or manufactured in Kansas and that remains in the state is not subject to federal law. And under the bill, federal authorities trying to enforce any kind of rule on such a firearm would face possible arrest and criminal charges.

Several legislators said pitting local law enforcement against federal officers would set up a dangerous situation and jeopardize the public.

State Rep. Virgil Weigle, D-Topeka, said he worked for 28 years in local, state and federal law enforcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was a federal agent, I wanted to make sure the locals had my back,â&#x20AC;? Weigle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you are doing here is going to destroy that relationship.â&#x20AC;?

State Rep. Diana Dierks, R-Salina, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am appalled that we are even thinking of passing this bill. We still belong to the United States.â&#x20AC;?

But state Rep. Brett Hildabrand, R-Shawnee, said Dierks was wrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The United States belongs to the citizens of Kansas, not the other way around,â&#x20AC;? he said to a round of applause.

State Rep. Steven Becker, R-Buhler, a former judge, tried to amend the bill to remove the state authority over federal law and replace that with a provision that would direct the attorney general to defend Kansas gun rights in court.

State Rep. Blaine Finch, R-Ottawa, urged support of Beckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed change, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our beef is not with federal agents.

Criminalizing their behavior is not the solution.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take the fight to the proper venue, the courts.â&#x20AC;?

should be held in check.

State Rep. Allan Rothlisberg, R-Grandview Plaza, criticized federal authorities for their actions in deadly confrontations in Ruby Ridge in Idaho and the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get a lot of things wrong,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Beckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amendment failed 59-60.

On HB 2250, concealed carry license holders would be allowed to carry their weapons in city, county and state buildings that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have adequate security, such as metal detectors and guards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide security, let us carry,â&#x20AC;? said state Rep. Ken Corbet, RTopeka.

But opponents said the bill was coercing local governments to bend to the will of the Legislature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is exactly the opposite of what I thought the best government was about,â&#x20AC;? said state Rep. Tom Moxley, R-Council Grove.

Universities, stateowned hospitals, nursing homes, community mental health centers and safety net clinics would be exempt from the law for four years.

But under another provision, universities and schools could decide whether to allow employees to bring their weapons to work.

State Rep. John Wilson, D-Lawrence, said since supporters argued that expansion of concealed carry improved safety, even around grade-schoolers, he proposed an amendment to allow concealed carry in the Capitol. The amendment was approved. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Senate advances income, sales tax bill

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Republican-dominated Kansas Senate rewrote tax legislation before giving it first-round approval Wednesday night, keeping GOP Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposals for cutting income tax rates further but scrapping part of his plan for revenue-raising offsets to stabilize the budget.

Senators advanced the measure on a voice vote after nearly five hours of debate. A second, final vote is set for today, when approval would send the legislation to the House, which is considering its own alternative to Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan.

The governor and many Republican legislators would like to eventually phase out personal income taxes, and the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill follows up on massive income tax cuts enacted last year. The measure phases in a second round of rate reductions over the next four years.

The bill also retains Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to cancel a decrease in the state sales tax scheduled for July. Most members of the chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 32-8 Republican majority voted twice to keep the sales tax at its current rate, despite a

Watching with him are Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan, center, and Jon Hummel, Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy director. promise made by lawmakers three years ago that it would decline.

Brownback said in a statement after the debate that the bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;protects our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core responsibilities and continues our state on the path to a zero income tax.â&#x20AC;?

Most of the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tinkering with Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan came on income tax deductions.

Brownback wanted to scrap two popular deductions for homeowners, for their property taxes and the interest on their mortgages.

Senators opted instead for phasing out most income tax

deductions as tax rates dropped, largely along lines suggested by the Kansas Association of Realtors aimed at keeping at least partial breaks for homeowners.

Supporters of additional income tax cuts believe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stimulate the economy. But many of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the governor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; acknowledge that last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressive cuts created budget problems that threaten aid to public schools and spending on social services.

The bill would net the state $497 million in new revenues over the next five years, according to

State treasurer mindful of maintaining healthy bottom line

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas Treasurer Ron Estes urged legislators Wednesday to be mindful of maintaining healthy cash balances as they draft the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget for the coming fiscal year.

The Wichita Republican said he supported efforts to create policies that would encourage economic growth but that those efforts must be balanced with keeping the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to pay bills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maintaining a healthy cash balance within the state general fund is a key element to the continued operations of our state government and providing Kansans with state services,â&#x20AC;? Estes said.

The state has been able to maintain healthy cash balances, in part by borrowing from state idle funds, which are collected by state agencies and other sources but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spent immediately. The state repays those funds

at the end of each fiscal year so the agencies can use the money for their intended purposes. Kansas borrowed $400 million in idle funds last July to help manage cash flow in the current fiscal year.

Last fiscal year, the state borrowed $600 million.

Estes said Kansas began the current fiscal year with more than $940 million in cash balances, a combination of the $400 million from idle funds and carry-over cash from last fiscal year. But that figure is expected to drop to less than $210 million within two weeks, as the state makes several large payments, including $181 million in bond payments and $197 million in education expenses.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, said his intention in drafting the budget would be to meet the requirement of placing 7.5 percent of state revenues in reserves.

But he said legislators may have to consider ad-

Special to the Journal-World

A Senate committee took steps Wednesday to encourage local governments to be more open about their deliberations and to reduce the cost of obtaining records from local governments.

The Committee on Federal and State Affairs discussed Senate Bill 10, which would increase local governmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compliance with the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open meetings and records laws, make it easier to request information under the Kansas Open Records Act and require minutes to be taken at any local meeting where the Kansas Open Meetings Act applies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The intent of this bill is to make government more accessible to the average Kansan out there,â&#x20AC;? the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsor, Sen. Jacob LaTurner, R-Pittsburg, said.

For those requesting documents subject to the open records law, LaTurnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill would establish a fee of no more than 10 cents per page of cop-

ied material and provide a free hour of staff time to collect information under a KORA request. Additional fees for staff time could vary between $20 and $50 per hour depending upon the employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job position.

Jan Jarman, of Wichita, said the bill would have been beneficial when she made an open records request after her daughter was forced to change schools. Jarman was told she would have to pay $1,000 to receive the documents. She took the money from her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not democracy if they make it so expensive that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to get the information that you need,â&#x20AC;? Jarman said.

legislative researchers.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still far short of what last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax cuts were worth.

Brownback has received national attention for seeking aggressive income tax cuts. This week, the Missouri Senate approved income tax cuts prompted by a desire to keep up with Kansas, and the Oklahoma House passed reductions backed

by Republican Gov. Mary Fallin.

Under the Kansas Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top rate would drop for 2017 to 3.5 percent from 4.9 percent.

But Brownback and Senate GOP leaders faced criticism both from Democrats and a few conservative Republicans, particularly over canceling the sales tax decrease. The tax is now 6.3 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; boosted to that rate in 2010 by budget-balancing legislation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and set to decline to 5.7 percent.

Critics note eliminating income taxes would force the state to rely most heavily on its sales tax to finance its programs, and poorer families tend to pay a higher percentage of their incomes to that tax than wealthy ones. And unlike most states, Kansas imposes the full tax on groceries.

dom of obtaining information. Although LaTurner said this timing was not planned, he thought of it as a happy coincidence.

Kim Winn, of Topeka, the deputy director of the League of Kansas Municipalities, said answering open records requests isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as easy as it may seem. She said clerks cannot just export information out of a database because it might include private data, such as health care information and Social Security numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does take time to answer these open records requests, and it is not as simple as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a piece of paper,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The plane allows doctors to spend less time in transit as they travel to far-flung corners of the state, Martin said, meaning they have more time to see patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our doctors and folks have to cover a lot of ground, and this is one way that we can be most effective with their time and their talents,â&#x20AC;? Martin said.

Individual departments at KU that use the planes must pay for the cost of flights they make.

Right now that cost is $2,160 per hour for the jet and $995 for the shared prop plane. Those prices will likely change in the new fiscal year, which starts in July, Martin said.

The Medical Center is the heaviest user of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planes, making about half of the flights. Kansas Athletics makes the next most flights at about 25 percent.

KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total cost for the operations of its aircraft in the 2012 fiscal year, which ended last summer, was $1.4 million, Martin said.

Teachers of the Year for Lawrence announced

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Diana Bailey, a fifthgrade teacher at Deerfield School, and Becky Reaver, a sixth-grade teacher at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, have been named the Lawrence school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elementary and Secondary Teachers of the Year for 2013.

Superintendent Rick Doll made the announcements during faculty meetings at each of the schools Wednesday.

Bailey and Reaver each received a $1,000 prize from KU Credit Union, one of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lawrence Education Achievement Partners.

Bailey, a graduate of Washburn University and Kansas University, has taught at Deerfield since 2007. She previously taught for three years at Lawrence Catholic School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diana is a truly gifted educator who is absolutely loved by students, greatly respected by staff and appreciated by parents,â&#x20AC;? said Deerfield Principal Joni Appleman.

Reaver, a KU graduate, began her career in Lawrence as an autism specialist in 2001. She started teaching sixth grade in 2005 at Cordley School and this year moved to Liberty Memorial Central where she continues to work with sixth-grade students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership and integrity have made a strong impact on students, teachers and administrators at Liberty Memorial Central,â&#x20AC;? said Assistant

Gas vapors caused K.C. restaurant fire KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal and local officials say a fatal explosion and fire at a Kansas City restaurant last month were sparked by natural gas vapors in the restaurant.

The Kansas City Fire Department and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive said Wednesday that the cause of the Feb. 19 blast at JJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;accidental ignition of natural gas vapors that accumulatedâ&#x20AC;? inside the restaurant.

The explosion and fire injured 16 people and killed a 46-year-old woman who worked at the restaurant near the Country Club Plaza.

The Missouri Public Service Commission and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are conducting a separate investigation into the cause of the gas line break.

Management plans for Missouri River set OMAHA, NEB. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The amount of water released into the lower Missouri River will increase this month as expected but will be less than the amount usually released in March, a move that could affect river shipping and offers mixed news on whether drought will ease or worsen this year.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Tuesday stood by last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prediction that winter runoff from melting snow and rain into the river above Sioux City, Iowa, will be 80 percent of normal this year. That forecast helped the corps determine how much water to release from the Gavins Point dam on the South DakotaNebraska border.

The corps announced in a conference call from Omaha that starting Monday, the amount of water will be increased from about 14,000 cubic feet per second to between 23,000 to 28,000 cubic feet per second to help support barge traffic on the river. The corps said it plans to increase water releases over several days until the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s navigation channel reaches the 8-foot-by200-foot mark.

But that amount will provide only enough water for a minimal channel.

A normal navigation channel is 9 feet deep and 300 feet wide, so barges may not be able to carry full loads this spring. Currently, the river is at a level that does not allow barge traffic.

Typically, the corps releases enough water to allow barges to navigate the river until Dec. 1.

This year, that could end as soon as early November if the drought worsens.

While the drought persists in most of the river basin that covers large parts of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri, recent rains and snow have improved drought conditions in the basin, said Doug Kluck, regional climate services director for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Temperatures should remain below normal for the next two weeks and the region could see more precipitation through the end of March, Kluck said.

But temperatures in the late spring and summer are expected to be above normal, and experts are unable to predict whether the region will get more or less precipitation than normal in that time.

The Kansas State Board of Education agreed Tuesday to plan for giving modified tests in English language arts and math in 2014 as the state continues its transition toward the new Common Core State Standards.

The decision came after the U.S. Department of Education informed the state in December that it would relax some of its peer review requirements in order to help states continue moving toward new assessments that will be used starting in the 2014-15 school year.

It also came at the same time some members of the Kansas Legislature are proposing bills to block implementation of the Common Core standards, calling the standards a federal intrusion into state education policy choices.

During a separate discussion, though, state board members voted to send a letter to Gov. Sam Brownback and the Legislature expressing the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belief that it has constitutional authority to set education standards.

Kansas is among 45 states that have adopted the Common Core standards, which are intended to guide instruction so students are better prepared for college or the workplace by the time they graduate high school.

Kansas officially adopted those standards in October 2010. It is now part of a consortium of states working to develop new standardized tests that will be aligned to those standards, but officials say those tests are not sched-

Board asserts authority to Legislature TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas State Board of Education will send a letter to Gov. Sam Brownback and state lawmakers reminding them of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority to set state education standards.

The board voted Tuesday to send the letter because a House committee is considering a bill that would force the state board to scrap its current guidelines in math and English, called Common Core standards. Some lawmakers have said the Common Core standards are a federal intrusion into state education decisions.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reported that Education Commissioner Diane DeBacker told the state board that it has the authority to set standards in Kansas. She says some lawmakers have incorrect information about why Kansas accepted the standards. uled to be ready for another two years.

That has put Kansas, along with many other states, in a bind: While teachers are expected to organize their classes and lesson plans around the new standards, the annual state assessments in those subjects are still geared to the old standards.

On Tuesday, the state board agreed to contract with the Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation at Kansas Univer-

sity to modify the current English and math tests in order to align them with the Common Core standards.

The department routinely contracts with the center to design and administer tests, and officials said the change calling for modified English and math tests next year should not increase the overall cost of the contract. The state board is expected to vote in April on renewing the annual contract with the center.

The federal government requires states to administer standardized tests in reading and math each year in order to qualify for certain kinds of federal funding. Students take the tests in grades three through eight, and once in high school.

Initially, the tests were required as part of the federal No Child Left Behind law, which mandated that 100 percent of students be proficient in reading and math by 2014.

Last year, Kansas received a waiver from No Child Left Behind. One of the criteria for receiving the waiver was the adoption of â&#x20AC;&#x153;college and career readyâ&#x20AC;? standards in reading and math.

But Kansas still has to administer those tests to show its schools are making continuous improvement in reading and math scores, although schools will be graded using a different set of criteria besides the raw number of students above or below the proficiency line. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Education reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259.

Snow day makeup plans set

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Schools in the Lawrence school district will be in session on April 26 to make up one day that was canceled this year because of snow. But only the two high schools will have to make additional adjustments to make up another day, district officials said this week.

But the high school adjustment will not require students and faculty to add another day to the schedule. Instead, on four days next month, the high schools will use a regular hourly schedule in which all seven classes meet each day, instead of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;planned block scheduleâ&#x20AC;? in which classes meet for longer periods of time on selected days of the week.

The high schools will use the seven class per day schedule on Wednesday

and Thursday, the weeks of April 1 and April 8.

On those days, all seven classes will meet on the regular high school schedule, 8:05 a.m. to 3:05 p.m.

Superintendent Rick Doll said the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calendar for this year had flexibility to absorb the first snow day just before the winter break in December. The district had also reserved April 26 as a possible makeup day in the event of a second snow cancellation.

And because the district plans to be in session on that makeup day, Doll said, the Kansas State Department of Education

will â&#x20AC;&#x153;forgiveâ&#x20AC;? one additional snow day.

After reviewing the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calendar in light of the four days canceled so far because of snow, Doll said all of the elementary and middle schools in the district will be on track to meet the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required minimum of 1,116 instructional hours.

Only the two high schools will need to make the additional adjustments to make up 173 minutes of instructional time. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Education reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259. Follow him at Twitter.com/pqhancock.

Historic documents to be shown in K.C. KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Some of the most important literary contributions to the Western ideal of human rights will be displayed in Kansas City in conjunction with the premiere of a giant-screen film being funded largely by area companies and foundations.

The writings, which include a 1350 copy of the Magna Carta, a 1776 printing of the Declaration of Independence and a 1788 first edition of the Federalist papers, arrived quietly at Union Station this week so their pages could be filmed for the production of “We The People,” which is scheduled to debut in September at the station, along with many of the documents.

“This is goose-bump material,” said Aimee Larrabee, producer of the film for her Inland Sea Productions of Kansas City.

The project, which Larrabee said is costing just under $3 million, is part of a broader educational effort in partnership with the National Archives, the Smithsonian Institution and Kansas State University, The Kansas City Star reported.

The 40-minute film, the trailer for which was shown Tuesday in Union

Station’s new digital Extreme Screen Theater, tells the story of the birth of American democracy and is narrated by actor Morgan Freeman and singer Kenny Rogers.

Other literary works that were filmed at Union Station on Tuesday include a 1724 first edition of “Cato’s Letters”; the 1766 Stamp Act; a first issue of the 1776 “Common Sense”

by Thomas Paine; the first Connecticut printing of the U.S. Constitution in 1788; and the journal of the first session of the U.S. Senate in New York on March 4, 1789.

The project has been a decade in the making. Larrabee, a Southwest High School graduate, at first had an idea to make a short film about Washington D.C., but the concept grew into a feature film for IMAX-sized theaters.

Sponsors include the Anschutz Family Foundation, the Ford Motor Co. Fund, the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, the H&R Block Foundation, J.E. Dunn, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Kansas City Southern, the Enid & Crosby Kemper Foundation and the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Utah congressman introduced legislation Wednesday to scrap the design for a memorial honoring President Dwight D. Eisenhower in Washington, citing objections from Ike’s family and the project’s cost.

Republican Rep. Rob Bishop is proposing a new design competition and seeks to eliminate $100 million in future funding for the current design by architect Frank Gehry.

Eisenhower’s family has called Gehry’s design “too extravagant.” Gehry proposed a memorial park with statues of the president and World War II hero, framed by large metal tapestries depicting Ike’s boyhood home in Kansas. It’s projected to cost $142 million, some of which would come from private fundraising.

Bishop said lawmakers need to re-evaluate the project in hopes of finding consensus. The bill would also authorize for three years the use of

the planned site for the memorial, which is at the base of Capitol Hill near the National Air and Space Museum.

“It is important that we get this project right and presently, there are far too many outstanding concerns including the controversial design and rising costs,” Bishop said in a statement.

Eisenhower Memorial Commission chairman Rocco Siciliano, who served as a special assistant in the Eisenhower White House, said he was “saddened” by the bill and defended the Gehry design and the commission’s work.

“This bill by Congressman Bishop insults their efforts and the great legacy of Eisenhower,” Siciliano said in a statement.

Susan Eisenhower, a granddaughter of the former president, said the family would not comment. A hearing has been scheduled for next week in a House subcommittee, and Susan Eisenhower is scheduled to testify.

Two party rooms that can be rented for birthday parties and other such events.

7,000 square feet for an as-yet undefined wellness center.

But what we haven’t seen much of — especially since the project moved from the west side of Sixth Street and the SLT interchange to the east side of the road — are renderings of the exterior. The city now has a couple of those that they are sharing.

The March 26 open house will be a come-andgo type of event rather than a forum during which the city takes comment about the project.

But I’m sure there will be city officials on hand who will be able to answer questions.

In terms of questions, I still get a few from readers about the project. Let me see if I can answer a couple of them here.

Have all the key votes on the project already taken place?

No. On March 5, the City Commission on a 4-1 vote approved a development agreement for the project. That certainly was the most significant vote the commission has taken on the recreation center project yet. It sent the clear message that the city plans to build the recreation center, and the agreement seems to commit the city to pay at least $2 million worth of costs, if for some reason it decides not to build the center.

What other votes are left to be taken?

Well, the city will have to vote to put the project out to bid at the March 26 meeting. That shouldn’t be much of a deal. But there are two more votes that will be a little more interesting because they both will come after a new City Commission is seated on April 9. One vote will be to accept construction bids for the project, and the other will be to issue bonds that will pay for the project. Those votes are where the rubber meets the road.

such a sand pit would pose to the underground aquifer that serves as the main water supply for the city of Eudora and several nearby landowners.

Nancy Thellman, the lone dissenter in the vote, tried unsuccessfully to attach more conditions to the permit and to request even further studies. She had said throughout the process that the sand pit would destroy valuable agricultural land.

But commission Chairman Mike Gaughan said he believed authorizing the sand pit would help protect another valuable resource, the river itself.

“The (U.S.) Corps of Engineers is moving this stuff off the river, and we should view that as a victory,” Gaughan said after the meeting. “It strikes me that is just as much of a resource that we should value as the soil and sand.”

If that study, which could take about three months to complete, shows the sand pit would pose no significant threat to those water supplies, the county has committed to issuing the conditional use permit. However, the county reserves the right to attach additional conditions to the permit, or to deny the permit altogeth-

any interest in revisiting the issue? Might they choose not to accept the construction bids?

Well, legally, the new City Commission could choose to reject the bids or decline to issue debt for the project. There’s nothing in the approved development agreement that forces the next City Commission to do the project.

But whether there are any candidates who have a strong inclination to reverse the decision of a previous City Commission is a bit hard to ascertain. What is clear: Two candidates — Jeremy Farmer and Terry Riordan — have been pretty supportive of the recreation center project throughout their campaigns.

Mike Amyx, the lone incumbent in the field, voted against the project. Rob Chestnut, as a member of the city’s Public Incentives Review Committee, voted against recommending the package of economic development incentives for the KU-oriented projects in the adjacent Rock Chalk Park project. But that’s different from saying he doesn’t support the recreation center project and, indeed, he has

said he likes the concept, although he has some concerns about the financial arrangements. At a March 6 Voter Education Coalition forum, he made statements indicating he wouldn’t be game for reversing the past commission’s decisions on the project.

The two remaining candidates, Scott Criqui and Leslie Soden, have expressed multiple concerns about the project, but when asked about the project at the March 6 forum, neither said anything about overturning the City Commission’s decision on the issue. But that also wasn’t exactly the question they were asked by the moderator.

At Monday’s North Lawrence candidate forum, Soden, Criqui and Amyx all brought up the recreation issue unsolicited. Soden said she was interested in reducing the size of the building by half, and Amyx made an interesting statement.

“The next City Commission will do more on this project than the current commission,” Amyx told the crowd. “We’re going to be dealing with the financing of it. Three members of this panel right here will become a

majority of the next commission. That’s a reason to get out and vote.”

So, tough to ascertain what type of issue the recreation center will be on the campaign trail. But as part of our campaign coverage, we will attempt to get the candidates to more directly answer the question of whether they would consider overturning the city commission’s previous decision on the issue.

But here’s something to remember: Math makes it unlikely that such an overturn will happen.

Two existing commissioners will remain on the commission: Bob Schumm and Mike Dever.

They are the two strongest supporters of the recreation center project on the commission. That means three candidates who disfavor the current project would have to win in the City Commission election.

After the primary, Amyx, Farmer and Riordan held the top three spots. As we’ve noted, two of those three have expressed consistent support for the proposed project.

er if the pre-dredging report shows it would pose a serious threat to those water supplies.

In November, after the first of two lengthy public hearings before the commission, the county hired a consultant to review all the geological reports that had been filed in the case and make a recommendation.

That firm, ConestogaRovers and Associates in Topeka, issued a report in January saying the sand pit likely would not pose a significant threat. But it recommended conducting a more thorough analysis, including drilling test wells to get baseline mea-

surements of the current water quality and to require continued monitoring of the water as long as the sand pit operates.

At one point, Thellman challenged that firm’s objectivity and suggested the county should hire a different firm to conduct the pre-dredging analysis.

“I was taken aback at the last meeting when (representatives) of ConestogaRovers made statements that seemed clear to me that their presumption is that the project should go forward,” Thellman said.

Both Gaughan and Commissioner Jim Flory disagreed.

“It’s difficult for me to say they don’t represent us when we hired them,” Gaughan said. “The answer they gave may not be what you wanted it to be, but we chose them. Their reputation isn’t on trial tonight.”

Company officials have said even if the county eventually grants the permit, they will still need to obtain permits from several other state and federal agencies before the sand pit is allowed to open.

realm,” Schmeidler said, adding that he wasn’t shocked by the selection, since Bergoglio was the runner-up in the last conclave. “It’s a step forward to looking at a broader scope of the world.”

Schmeidler said he “watched and celebrated” Bergoglio’s address to the faithful on television with students at St. John Catholic School.

“One of the things that impressed me, that I enjoyed, is he had everybody pray together,” Schmeidler said. “It shows a pope who can relate to the people, someone who can walk with us on this journey.”

The Rev. Steve Beseau, director of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center at Kansas University, said that while he was surprised by the pick, the more he learned about the new pope the more hopeful he became that Bergoglio was the right choice.

“People talk about his humility, his love for the poor and his faithfulness to the church,” Beseau cited as three reasons he believes Bergoglio to be the man for the job. Bergoglio named himself after Francis of Assisi because of the saint’s dedication to the poor.

Beseau invoked another reason that using the name of St. Francis of Assisi is a good sign: God supposedly once told the saint to “rebuild my church” after it had fallen into ruins. Beseau said he hopes that means the new pope can similarly “clean up all the scandals the church is having.”

Francis will celebrate his first Mass as pope in the Sistine Chapel today, and will be installed officially as pope on Tuesday, according to Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi.

Lombardi, also a Jesuit, said he was particularly stunned by the election given that Jesuits typically shun positions of authority in the church, instead offering their work in service to those in power.

But Lombardi said that in accepting the election, Francis must have felt it “a strong call to service,” an antidote to all those who

Tough winter forces owls south

By Steve Karnowski Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — It’s been a tough winter for owls in parts of North America, and the evidence is turning up on roadsides, at bird feeders and at a wildlife rehabilitation center in Minnesota.

The dead, injured and sick owls are symptoms of what ornithologists call an “irruption,” a natural, cyclical phenomenon that happens when hungry owls that normally winter in northern Canada head south in search of food — either because their normal food of mice, voles and lemmings are in short supply or heavy snow cover makes it difficult to hunt for small rodents. Other irruptions have been reported recently in New England, as well as southern Ontario and Quebec, and parts of British Columbia.

This year it happens to be northern Minnesota that’s seeing much of the action, and it’s mostly tiny boreal owls.

BOREAS, AN INJURED BOREAL OWL, sits on a handler’s hand Wednesday at the Raptor Center on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. The center listed about 30 owls as patients this week.

“They’re excruciatingly cute,” said Geoff LeBaron, director of the Christmas Bird Count program at the National Audubon Society.

As the owls flock to Minnesota, so do bird watchers. The prime owl habitat of the Sax-Zim Bog is about 45 miles northwest of Duluth, and it has

an annual birding festival in February.

Frank Nicoletti, director of banding at the Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory in Duluth, said he’s been guiding owl watchers nonstop for the last couple of months.

They’ve been traveling to northern Minnesota from all over for the chance to spot visiting boreal owls, which are normally tough to see because of their size, and because they don’t usually come out during daylight.

They also sit very still when they perch.

Irruptions tend to involve young owls because older owls are more experienced hunters and know their territories better and so are better at finding food. Younger northern owls also don’t know about dangers from humans — like cars — so they’re more likely to end up as roadkill. They’re often weak by the time they make it south, and some species might not recognize the local small mammals as food.

Beseau, of the St. Lawrence center at KU, was also pleased the cardinals had looked to South America for the first time ever in choosing their leader, given the large number of Latin American Catholics.

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper has said he is ambivalent about the magazine ammunition limit but will sign it. The law gives him 10 business days to do so.

Some Americans could see their insurance bills double next year as the health care overhaul law expands coverage to millions of people.

The nation’s big health insurers say they expect premiums — or the cost for insurance coverage — to rise from 20 to 100 percent for millions of people due to changes that will occur when key provisions of the Affordable Care Act roll out in January 2014.

Mark Bertolini, CEO of Aetna Inc., one of the nation’s largest insurers, calls the price hikes “premium rate shock.”

“We’ve done all the math, we’ve shared it with all the regulators, we’ve shared it with all the people in Washington that need to see it, and I think it’s a big concern,” Bertolini said during the company’s annual meeting with investors in December.

To be sure, there will be no across-the-board rate hikes for everyone, and there’s no reliable national data on how many people could see increases. But the biggest price hikes are expected to hit a group that represents a relatively small slice of the insured population. That includes some of the roughly 14 million people who buy their own insurance as opposed to being covered under employer-sponsored plans, and to a lesser extent, some employees of smaller companies.

The price increases are a downside of President Barack Obama’s health

care law, which is expected to expand coverage to nearly 30 million uninsured people. The massive law calls for changes that could cause premiums for people who don’t have coverage through a big employer to rise next year — at a time when health care costs already are expected to grow by 5 percent or more:

Changes to how insurers set premiums according to age and gender could cause some premiums to rise as much as 50 percent, according to America’s Health Insurance Plans, or AHIP, an industry trade group that’s funded by insurers.

A new tax on premiums could raise prices as much as 2.3 percent in 2014 and more in subsequent years, according to a study commissioned by AHIP. Policyholders with plans that end in 2014 probably have already seen an impact from this.

Requirements that insurance plans in many cases cover more health care or pay a greater share of a patient’s bill than they do now also could add to premiums, depending on the extent of a person’s current coverage, according AHIP. The Obama administration says the law balances added costs in several ways, including tax credits that will bring down what many consumers will pay for insurance.

“The health care law will bring down costs and save money for young people and families,” said Erin Shields Britt, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services.

Senate Democrats unveil budget blueprint

By Andrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats unveiled a largely stand-pat budget Wednesday that calls for $1 trillion in new tax revenues over the coming decade but actually increases spending, while protecting the party’s domestic policy priorities and adding $4 trillion more to the national debt than a slashing alternative from House Republicans.

The plan by Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., blends about $1 trillion in modest cuts to health care providers, the Pentagon, domestic agencies and interest payments on the debt with an equal amount in new revenue claimed by closing tax breaks.

But because Democrats want to restore $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts over the same period — cuts imposed

by Washington’s failure to strike a broader budget pact — Murray’s blueprint increases spending slightly when compared with current policies.

On the other side of Capitol Hill, House Budget Committee Republicans barreled ahead with an entirely opposite approach that whacks spending by $4.6 trillion over the coming decade, promises sweeping cuts to Medicaid and domestic agencies while setting a

path to balancing the government’s books within 10 years.

The House panel was expected to approve the plan, by Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., late Wednesday by a partyline vote; Murray’s plan was set to be approved by the Democratic-led Senate panel on Thursday.

Both measures face floor debates next week.

Even as Democrats controlling the Senate and the strongly conservative House moved in divergent directions, President Barack Obama again traveled to the Capitol to open a dialogue with lawmakers. Wednesday’s meeting was with House Republicans, who welcomed the gesture even as they noted that deep divisions remain.

“We’ve got a big difference between us,” said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore. “He supports higher tax revenues.”

But Rep. Tom Cole, ROkla., said Obama told Republicans that he also supports a revised inflation adjustment called “chained CPI” that would curb cost-of-living increases in Social Security benefits and increase tax revenue through slower indexing of income tax brackets. He also supports “means testing” for Medicare benefits that would require higher-income beneficiaries to pay more for their health care.

Caliente hot rose geranium coming for spring

HOLY MOLEY

By Norman Winter MCT

THERE ARE PROBABLY A FEW HUNDRED “REMEDIES” FOR GETTING RID OF MOLES, from bubble gum, human hair, broken glass and mothballs to ultrasonic devices, poisons and fumigants, but traps are still proven to be the most effective.

Trapping best remedy to get rid of subterranean critters Garden Calendar T he giant mounds of soil in my lawn that appeared after the snow melted tell me that I have a new and unwelcome visitor to my yard: a mole. In addition to the dirt piles, he has announced his presence by creating an extensive network of tunnels and even loosened the bricks of my patio.

Moles are small, brownish-gray creatures that live underground in much of the United States. They are classified as insectivores, feeding on insects as well as snail larvae, spiders, earthworms, white grubs, small vertebrates, and an occasional bit of plant material.

An average full-grown mole is 6 to 7 inches long with a short tail, paddle-like forefeet, and webbed toes. They lack ears and their eyes are small and almost hidden in fur.

Mole damage is sometimes confused with voles and pocket gophers. Molehills are usually volcano-shaped and may be two to 24 inches tall.

Hills usually coincide with visible tunnels just below the soil surface, although tunnels may not be evident during dry weather.

My angst is more than concern for cosmetics. I am worried about the soil eroding where plants and turf have been unearthed, about the cost of replacing plants and fixing

my patio, and about walking (and soon, mowing) across that section of lawn without twisting an ankle.

To get rid of the mole(s) before more damage is done, I am going to try trapping.

According to research trials, traps are still the most effective means of control. The key is proper placement of the trap and proper setting of the trap. Traps need to be placed in an active tunnel rather than one the mole used once for exploration. K-State Research and Extension has information and a video about how to identify an active mole tunnel on its website at www. ksre.ksu.edu. Active runs are usually straight rather than meandering, and may be on the perimeter of the signs of mole activity.

The Extension Wildlife website also has a video that shows how to set a trap, but you can

A few mole facts:

Moles can exert a lateral digging force of up to 32 times their body weight.

Moles eat 70% to 100% of their body weight each day.

Moles are active yearround.

Moles can travel through existing tunnels at 80 feet per minute and dig at 18 feet per hour.

also follow the label instructions and ensure the trap goes off easily.

Scissor-jawed traps, harpoon or spear traps, and choker loop traps are all effective, and there are many brands of each available. They are most often found at garden centers, hardware stores, and farm supply stores.

There are probably a few hundred other “remedies.”

Bubble gum, human hair, broken glass, mothballs, ultrasonic devices, poisons and fumigants are just a few of the things I have heard people mention to get rid of moles in their yard and/or garden. You might even know someone who says they work, or you might have had luck with one of them

yourself. In research trials, however, these products are inconsistent in their effectiveness.

Another remedy I get a lot of questions about is grubcontrol products. Since grubs are part of moles’ diets, the idea is that moles will leave if their food source is gone.

This used to work better with some of the older grubcontrol products because they killed more insects than just the grubs, and sometimes also killed earthworms.

Newer grub control products are typically more selective.

Also, sometimes the moles end up digging more in their increased search for food.

There are a lot of products, including a number of toxicants that are labeled for use on moles, but they are seldom effective because moles are not interested in eating them.

Fumigants can also be used but are restricted-use pesticides that are only available to certified pesticide applicators.

Some universities also recommend the assistance of a good mole-sniffing dog. This could work, but if the dog is anything like mine, he or she might dig more holes than the mole.

There is nothing like a greenhouse ready for spring that makes you forget about the miserable weather outside. Across our greenhouse, I spotted my favorite geraniums as if they were sending out a beacon just to draw me in.

Such is the case with the Caliente and the Calliope series.

If you have longed for geraniums that will give you a summer-long dazzling performance then you simply must give these geraniums a try.

You will probably find it hard to believe that I am touting geraniums that are ivy zonal hybrids, but believe me when I say you will not be disappointed.

Gardeners on the West Coast love their geraniums and indeed they grow like weeds there while the rest of us are waiting for the spring and early summer.

Now with Caliente and Calliope, the rest of the country can go pretty much toe-totoe with our Pacific friends when it comes to these stunning flowers.

During trials I participated in, these absolutely clobbered the competition. Not only did they do better than other geraniums, they also beat out several other hot summer bloomers. It wasn’t just our trials but others as well. Some might like Caliente best while others like Calliope, but in the end these were the stalwart summer performers.

There are several colors in each series, one of which is sure to fit your palette, but keep your eyes open for the new 2013 selections, which are Caliente Hot Rose and Calliope Rose Splash.

While these geraniums have won their recognition grounded in the landscape, I can promise they are absolutely exquisite in containers where their true habit can really be shown.

Remember they have an ivy geranium habit that is somewhat spreading, so in a window box or in a basket they would be simply unbeatable.

But they do excel in the landscape. Though they have won in absolutely brutal conditions, ideal conditions would be full sun followed by a little shade protection during afternoon’s intense heat.

They will perform best when planted in raised beds with fertile organic rich soil.

Vintage fused glass pieces unique and undervalued

By Terry Kovel

Frances and Michael Higgins both went to art school, taught art and created art before they met at the Chicago Institute of Design. They were married in 1948. The couple decided to open their own studio to make fused (not blown) glass, a technique used in ancient times.

Their pieces were marked “Higgins” to represent both artists. Their glass was like a glass sandwich — one piece coated with enamel decoration, the other placed on top and heated until both pieces were fused together. Their work created a new type

of colorful, well-designed glass that immediately became popular in gift shops.

Each of the artists had a personal style. Frances liked to hand-paint designs; Michael used small pieces of glass to make designs.

Michael was born in England in 1908 and died in 1999. Frances, born in 1912, was still working when she died in 2004.

Higgins Glass Studio of Riverside, Ill., continues the couple’s tradition of making fused glass. It is run by artists trained by Michael and Frances.

Vintage Higgins pieces are popular today with collectors, but because the studio still makes glass for department stores and gift

shops, pieces can be found for moderate prices.

The work is unique and recognized as artistic, yet early pieces are undervalued by both museums and collectors.

Q:

My ceramic angelfish is a little over an inch high. It’s gray with a blue base and is embossed on the bottom “Wade, England.” When was it made?

A:

The Wade Group of Potteries was founded in 1810 near Burslem, Staffordshire, England.

Your fish is one of the “Wade Whimsies,” little figurines no more than 2 1/8 inches

tall. More than 100 different Whimsies were made.

The first were little animal figurines, sold from 1954 to 1958 in sets of five or four to a box. Ten different sets were made.

During the 1960s, Whimsies were made only as promotional items.

Best-known are the figurines given away with Red Rose Tea and other products. Another 12 sets of animal figurines were made from 1971 to 1984.

Your angelfish is part of Set Nine, made in 1978 as part of the second series of Whimsies. Whimsies are popular with children and teenage collectors.

Each Whimsy sells for about $5 to $15.

THIS FUSEDGLASS SCULPTURE is a multicolored mosaic embedded in concrete and framed in brass.

It’s marked “Higgins.”

It sold for $210 a few years ago at Jackson’s Auctioneers in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

More democratic?

Efforts to change the way judges are appointed to the Kansas Court of Appeals and the Kansas Supreme Court don’t feel more democratic.

L

egislation to change the way judges are appointed to the Kansas Court of Appeals apparently is on its way to becoming law in Kansas.

The bill eliminates the current process by which an appointed nominating committee reviews applications and recommends three nominees to the governor. Under the new process, the governor will have the exclusive right to appoint anyone he or she chooses, regardless of the nominee’s qualifications for the job, as long as that choice is confirmed by the Kansas Senate.

Critics of the current system were focused on the fact that a majority of the nominating committee were attorneys elected by fellow members of the Kansas Bar. The system, they said was too dominated by attorneys, too undemocratic.

However, rather than adjust the membership of the nominating committee to address the specific problem, legislators have chosen to throw that system out and replace it with the appointment-confirmation system that injects new political influence into the system and could cause delays in filling vacant judgeships.

If Kansans want to see how the new system will work, they can look at an appointment process that currently is causing concern in Sedgwick County. The county usually elects its district judges, but because a district judge was appointed to the Court of Appeals, Gov. Brownback now is responsible for filling a vacancy. The traditional practice for filling such seats is to have representatives of the local bar take applications and recommend three nominees to the governor. The names of both the applicants and the three finalists are made public. However, Brownback decided not to follow that practice. Candidates for the judgeship were asked to file their applications directly with the governor’s office. After the March 1 deadline for applications, it was announced that 15 candidates had applied but that their names would not be made public. There apparently will be no transparency to the process leading to the governor’s selection.

This is the kind of closed process that likely will become common practice for appointments to the Kansas Court of Appeals.

The Appeals Court change apparently is a done deal. Because the selection of appeals judges is set out in statute, legislators can change it without a public vote.

However, Kansans may have an opportunity to weigh in on a measure that would apply the same appointment system to the Kansas Supreme Court. Changing the Supreme Court appointment system would require a constitutional amendment, which already has passed the Kansas Senate. If it is approved by two-thirds of the Kansas House, it will go to the voters. Interestingly, the Senate bill sets the public vote on the amendment for August 2014, during a primary election that likely will draw only a small voter turnout. If the opponents of the current court selection system are looking to be more “democratic,” why wouldn’t they put the measure on a general election ballot when it would draw as many voters as possible?

The whole process on both of these proposals leaves the impression that the goal is not to make the selection of high court judges more democratic but to concentrate the power for making those choices with fewer people who may use those appointments for political paybacks or to pursue political agendas.

U.S. must plan for worst in N. Korea WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s approach toward North Korea has been described as “strategic patience.” A more accurate evaluation of U.S. policy would be “failure.” The administration has alternately wooed and threatened North Korea for four years, with no discernible effect.

Here’s what failure looks like: Since President Obama took office, Pyongyang has conducted several missile tests and two nuclear weapons tests, the most recent on Feb. 12. When the interna-

This is the most disturbing problem in international relations, and it’s posed now by North Korea: How should the international community respond when a nation consistently ignores red lines?” tional community has tried to hold Pyongyang accountable, the regime has become even more erratic.

North Korea’s latest reckless action came this week, when it nullified the 60-yearold armistice that ended the Korean War, and cut its hotline with U.S. forces in the South. This was Pyongyang’s way of protesting the U.N. Security Council’s unanimous decision to impose new sanctions after last month’s nuclear test. Perhaps it was also a way of hazing South Korea’s President Park Geun-hye, who took office two weeks ago.

What’s next? Unfortunately, the only thing that’s predictable about North Korea is its belligerence. Pyongyang has taken violent actions in the first months after

the election of each South Korean president since 1992, according to Victor Cha, a Korea expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

What happens when diplomacy fails? This is the most disturbing problem in international relations, and it’s posed now by North Korea: How should the international community respond when a nation consistently ignores red lines? What policy options exist when patience finally runs out?

Tom Donilon, the national security adviser, had some newly tough words for Pyongyang in a speech Monday to the Asia Society.

“The United States will not accept North Korea as a nuclear state; nor will we stand by while it seeks to develop a nuclear-armed missile that can target the United States.”

But what does this language mean? The North already is a nuclear state, and it is developing missiles that could strike the U.S. with miniaturized warheads.

“North Korea will have to change course,” Donilon insisted. Otherwise, it will face more sanctions and new U.S. defense moves aimed at countering a “grave threat to the United States and our allies.” But what if North Korea doesn’t bend? One result will be more aggressive defense

policies from South Korea and Japan, complicating security in Asia.

The North Korea problem is scary because its leadership seems to get more volatile over time. Kim Jong Un, the new leader, “quickly consolidated power” after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il, in December 2011, according to U.S. intelligence. But some U.S. analysts believe the new president is more unpredictable and provocative than was his father.

Through two administrations, the underlying U.S. strategy toward North Korea has been to seek China’s help in containing this destabilizing force in northeast Asia.

But this policy, too, has largely failed and the U.S. should be running out of patience. With depressing consistency, China has failed to step up to its responsibilities as a regional superpower. It doesn’t like the mercurial North Koreans, but evidently it even more dislikes taking action to restrain them.

Will China’s new president, Xi Jinping, lift Beijing’s game by dealing more aggressively with North Korea?

Some analysts see signs of a toughening Chinese stance in recent articles published in the English-language newspaper owned by the official People’s Daily. Xi is also assembling a team, including Yang Jiechi, the top foreign-

Expertise lost

the new report funded by the American Hospital Association. It is titled “Economic and Employment Effects of expanding KanCare in Kansas” and is authored by researchers at Regional Economic Models Inc. and George Washington University.

The federal funding associated with KanCare expansion will help create approximately 3,400 new jobs in 2014 and 4,000 new jobs by 2020 in the health care industry. This could result in a net cost savings for the state of Kansas from 2014-2020.

According to the American Hospital Association, refusing to expand our KanCare program will result in substantial cuts to Kansas hospitals, resulting in a loss of jobs and revenue needed for uninsured Kansans. Perhaps that is why Gov. Rick Scott of Florida, whose background is in the health care industry, has now accepted the Medicaid expansion as outlined in the Affordable Care Act. Why make a decision not to accept federal funding when it prevents the loss of nearly $2 billion over seven years that would go to help our most vulnerable citizens?

Hey, if it doesn’t work for us, it can be discontinued if it is not best serving the people of Kansas.

Richard Sengpiehl, Lawrence

To the editor: It was interesting to read about the proposed bill that would eliminate the state’s classified employment system.

This should not be a surprise to any current state employee.

It appears to simply be a way to codify a practice that was introduced when Gov. Brownback took office. For the only time in my experience, at that time, all unclassified state employees were fired or forced into retirement and replaced by inexperienced friends and political allies of the administration. The amount of knowledge and agency experience that was lost was enormous.

Since that time I have seen one agency director create several unclassified support positions to provide employment for friends or relatives. None of the positions were open to experienced agency employees, and I am unaware of any interview process to attempt to determine qualifications.

With the current system of filling jobs, qualified employees can see no likelihood that that hard work will lead to an opportunity for advancement unless they belong to the correct church, political party or circle of friends.

I find it sad to see a situation where a previously professional workforce is gradually being replaced by less than qualified political appointees, much to the detriment of the agencies.

policy official, and Wang Yi, his successor as foreign minister, who are thought to favor more emphatic negotiations with Pyongyang, such as the so-called Six-Party Talks that took place from 2003 to 2009. The fact that China worked closely with the U.S. in drafting the latest U.N. sanctions resolution is also taken as a positive sign.

Some longtime Korea watchers argue that Kim is rattling sabers to get attention and that Washington should give it to him. “Even if we’re at an impasse, there has to be dialogue,” argues Joseph DeTrani, a former special envoy for negotiations with North Korea.

But when a country is developing nuclear weapons that could hit U.S. territory, and when its party newspaper responds to sanctions by calling for a “final showdown,” the U.S. needs options beyond diplomacy and the threat of more U.N. sanctions. So it’s reassuring that the U.S. Navy is readying ballistic missile defenses in the Pacific, and that it has such total dominance underwater that it can threaten any adversary in Asia instantly.

Counting on North Korean restraint has been a bad bet.

It may be wiser to assume the worst, and plan accordingly.

The Village to Village concept is a national program, begun in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston in 2001. The village model is a grass-roots movement that incorporates everyone throughout the aging process in a community that supports individuals to live in their own homes, for as long as possible, with the help of their neighbors. There are currently 93 villages with 125 in development.

A “village” is member-driven, self-governed and self-supported that offers personal, social and recreational support.

Volunteers and vetted providers are made available to residents. Seventy-nine percent of the villages have at least one paid staff member with an average of 42 volunteers.

Studies show that most people want to stay in their own homes as they age. The “Village” concept represents neighborhood and community as its finest! In this setting, there is less incidence of isolation and depression.

There is an increase in business for service providers, and money flows downtown and to surrounding businesses. Intergenerational opportunities and a bolstering of community spirit are direct rewards of this program.

Funding comes from community participants and supporters. Grant funding and fundraising activities are necessary to supplement the membership fees. Established village neighborhoods may be funded by planned giving and “family trust” awards. More information on Village to Village is available at www.vtvnetwork.org .

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 14, 1913: YEARS “‘The Ideal JayAGO hawker. He must IN 1913 make a good appearance, but need not be handsome. Careful in personal appearance, but not a ‘dandy.’ Jolly, accommodating, considerate, and a true sportsman. He must be a good conversationalist and realize that a girl is not flattered by having nonsense talked to her all the time.

Show reverence and respect to the aged. Show the same gentlemanliness with men as with women. Not smoke or drink or be guilty of the attendant evils.

These are vigorously denounced.

Not sneer at religion or joke lightly about it. Recognize no two standards for men and women.’

Kansas University Co-eds who are members of the K.U. Y.W.C.A. have outlined a code of ideals to which they would have the young men of Kansas measure up. …

Anyway the code seems a very good one and while sometimes it may be found hard to follow it might be well for all young Jayhawkers to have a copy at hand for ready reference.”

Santana effective for Royals SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) — Ervin Santana struck out seven in four innings, Billy Butler and Salvador Perez hit run-singles, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Seattle Mariners, 4-2, Wednesday to improve their spring training record to 14-2.

Santana, acquired from the Los Angeles Angels during the offseason, allowed his only run on Carlos Truinfel’s thirdinning homer. Santana gave up two hits and threw 35 of 53 pitches for strikes.

Note: RHP Luke Hochevar, the first player picked in the 2006 amateur draft and the Royals’ 2011 opening-day starter, has been sent to the bullpen, failing in his attempt to earn the final rotation slot. Hochevar had a 6.75 ERA in three appearances, allowing six runs, nine hits, two homers and two walks in eight innings. LHP Bruce Chen and RHP Luis Mendoza remain the leading candidates to be the No. 5 starter.

The Associated Press

Wes Welker sure knows how to pick his quarterbacks.

The star receiver, Tom Brady’s favorite target, is leaving New England and heading to Denver, where he’ll join Peyton Manning and the Broncos.

Also getting new deals were Reggie Bush in Detroit, Dashon Goldson in Tampa Bay, and even Ray Lewis — with ESPN. Day 2 of the NFL’s free agency frenzy was highlighted by Welker grabbing a two-year deal with the Broncos, who had the AFC’s best regular-season record last year. He gives Manning one of the steadiest targets the four-time league MVP ever has had.

Broncos boss John Elway said on Twitter: “Excited to have Wes join the Broncos. His production & toughness will be a great asset!”

The best slot receiver in the league, Welker caught 118 passes for 1,354 yards and six TDs last season.

Denver added defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, too.

Bush agreed to a four-year deal and could fill a huge hole at running back. The Lions haven’t been able to count on 2010 firstround draft pick Jahvid Best, whose career is in doubt because of concussion issues.

“It’s a running back’s dream,” Bush said. “One of the reasons I wanted to come here is to be able to bring a balanced attack.”

Bush adds to a strong offense led by record-setting All-Pro receiver Calvin Johnson. The second overall pick in 2006 by New Orleans, Bush rushed for 986 yards for Miami last season after gaining 1,086 yards in 2011, his first year with the Dolphins.

“The thing that was important to us was not just the talent of Reggie Bush, but also the way those talents complemented the other players we have on offense,” coach Jim Schwartz said.

“That was really the basis of our interest in Reggie.”

The Lions also landed safety Glover Quin and defensive end Jason Jones and retained cornerback Chris Houston.

All-Pro safety Goldson gets a five-year contract worth $41.25

million. He receives $8.25 million per year and $22 million in guaranteed money. He spent the past two seasons on one-year contracts with the 49ers, including last year with the franchise tag for $6.2 million.

Cleveland remained active, agreeing to terms with linebacker Quentin Groves and tackle Desmond Bryant to further bolster a defense that added Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger hours after free agency began.

“With the additions of Paul and Desmond, we believe that we have significantly improved our defense overall, particularly our front seven,” Browns CEO Joe Banner said.

Kruger is one of many Super Bowl winners to leave the Ravens, including hard-hitting safety Bernard Pollard, who was released Wednesday. The biggest loss for Baltimore was an expected departure: Lewis announced in early January that he was ending his 17-year career. Then he led the Ravens to the championship.

On Wednesday, he joined ESPN as a studio analyst.

The Chiefs have been active in free agency, adding wide receiver Donnie Avery, tight end Anthony Fasano, defensive tackle Mike DeVito, cornerback Dunta Robinson and backup quarterback Chase Daniel, but none of the moves has been watched as closely as the trade for Smith.

Smith had eight up-and-down years with the 49ers, but thrived under coach Jim Harbaugh. He went 13-3 as the starter two years ago, and was 6-2 midway through this past year, completing 18 of 19 passes with three TDs in a Monday night win over Arizona on Oct. 29.

He then sustained a concussion in the second quarter of a 24-24 tie against St. Louis on Nov. 11, saying later he threw a touchdown pass with blurry vision. Smith sat out the next game, Colin Kaepernick dazzled in his debut as an NFL starter — and Smith never started again.

Kaepernick led the 49ers to the Super Bowl and Smith became expendable.

Robinson, who was cut by the Falcons three years into a sixyear, $54 million deal, should provide depth across the defensive backfield for the Chiefs. He not only could play cornerback opposite Brandon Flowers, but he has the ability to play nickel back or back up starting safeties Eric Berry and Kendrick Lewis.

Avery, a speedy wide receiver, showed promise after the Rams selected him in the second round in 2008, but he missed the entire 2010 season with a knee injury. Avery spent last year with Indianapolis, where he caught a career-best 60 passes for 781 yards and three touchdowns in helping the Colts reach the playoffs.

He’s expected to replace Steve Breaston, who was recently released, and compete with Jon Baldwin to be the No. 2 wide receiver opposite Dwayne Bowe, who recently signed a five-year, $56 million contract.

MITCH SEAVEY BECAME THE OLDEST WINNER AND A two-time Iditarod champion when he drove his dog team under the arch in Nome, Alaska.

Seavey, 53, becomes oldest Iditarod winner NOME, ALASKA — A 53-year-old former champion won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race to become the oldest winner of Alaska’s grueling test of endurance.

Mitch Seavey and 10 dogs crossed the Nome finish line to cheering crowds at 10:39 p.m.

Alaska time Tuesday.

“This is for all of the gentlemen of a certain age,” he said on a live stream posted to the Iditarod website after completing the race in temperatures just above zero. His race time in the 1,000-mile race was nine days, 7 hours and 39 minutes.

Seavey’s victory came after a dueling sprint against Aliy Zirkle, last year’s runner-up, along the frozen, wind-whipped Bering Sea coast.

Zirkle crossed the finish line 24 minutes after her rival, who later greeted her.

“You did a good job,” Seavey told Zirkle as a camera crew filmed them. “You’re going to win this thing, probably more than once.”

Kobe Bryant sprains ankle ATLANTA —The Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant severely sprained his left ankle after missing a game-tying shot in the closing seconds of a loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

The Lakers said he’s out indefinitely, just as the team is pushing for a playoff spot after a miserable start.

The injury occurred Wednesday night after Bryant put up the baseline jumper with three seconds remaining. His left foot landed on defender Dahntay Jones’ right foot, twisting awkwardly as Bryant crumpled to the court.

X-rays were negative.

Big 12 Tournament Texas Tech 71, West Virginia 69 KANSAS CITY, MO. — Dejan Kravic rebounded Texas Tech’s desperation shot and dropped it into the bucket just ahead of the buzzer, lifting Texas Tech over West Virginia in the opening round Wednesday night of the Big 12 tournament.

The Red Raiders (11-19), who lost twice to West Virginia in the regular season, gave up a 14-point lead in the first half but managed to hold on for only their second victory all year away from home.

Texas Tech will meet the Big 12 regular-season champion, No. 7 Kansas (26-5), in today’s quarterfinals.

Jaye Crockett’s 18 points led Texas Tech, which had lost 11 of its last 12.

West Virginia (13-19) ended its first season in the Big 12 on a seven-game losing skid, again denying coach Bob Huggins the victory he’s been needing to tie Ray Meyer for 18th on the all-time Division I winning list. Terry Henderson had 12 points for the Mountaineers.

Fighting from behind virtually the entire game, the Mountaineers cut the deficit to 64-63 on Aaric Murray’s 3-pointer and then went up 66-64 when Jabarie Hinds connected from behind the arc.

Crockett’s free throw cut the West Virginia lead to 68-67 at the 1:43 mark, but with 62 seconds left, the 6-foot-11 Kravic got inside for a bucket and gave the Raiders a 69-68 lead when he missed the ensuing free throw.

Murray’s bucket was waved off when he was called for traveling, but

and two outs, Alex DeLeon made it 9-0 on an RBI double to left field.

“They set the table for us,” DeLeon said after going 3-for-4 with a double, home run and four RBIs against Jackson State (98). “They walked a lot of people and then we got a couple of nice hits. We got the job done.”

Tucker Tharp also went 3-for-4 and scored a run in the final game of the Jayhawks’ five-game, unbeaten homestand.

Kansas coach Ritch Price said his team has found success this year by working counts, getting on base and capitalizing.

“We had some good atbats after the table got set,” Price said of the eight-run fifth, which helped KU beat Jackson State for the second time this season.

Still, the coach found even more enjoyment in the mere presence of senior right-handed pitcher Tanner Poppe on the mound. After missing two starts with an injured throwing shoulder, the

“

We had some good at-bats after the table got set.”

— Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price 6-foot-6 hurler from Girard allowed three hits and one walk while striking out two in four innings for his first win of the season.

“Obviously it showed he’s completely healthy and over the inflammation he had,” Price said.

Relievers Drew Morovick, Jordan Luvisi, Conner Murray and Hayden Edwards helped Kansas complete the shutout, its fourth of the season, matching the KU total from 2012.

Kansas begins a threegame series at TCU on Friday, which marks the opening of an 11-game road stretch that includes trips to BYU, Missouri State and Oklahoma.

O Interim may be promoted: Walker, who was given the “interim” tag after replacing Billy Gillispie, could be named permanent Tech head coach in coming weeks.

“I’ve got a one-day contract with God. Every day I wake up I’m happy to be alive,” Walker told the Studio 66 TV crew.

“I wake up tomorrow and I’ll still be coach of Texas Tech basketball. It’s an unbelievable university, an unbelievable opportunity. I take it day by day and whatever happens, happens.”

O Practice time: KU practiced in Lawrence on Wednesday afternoon. The Jayhawks did not use their allotted time slot to shoot in Sprint Center.

“We’ve been to 10 Big 12 Tournaments since I’ve been here. I’ve never gone a day early to practice,” Self said. “If you don’t play on the first day, to get ample time to practice you need to come in two days early.

Why would we come in two days early when we live 45 minutes down the road? Today we had 50 minutes allotted time (in Sprint Center). I can talk for 55. That wasn’t enough time. We needed to practice at our place.

Maybe it’ll backfire.

Maybe it won’t. I didn’t see any reason we should practice twice today.”

CINCINNATI’S SEAN KILPATRICK REACTS after making a basket against Providence at the Big East Conference tournament, Wednesday in New York.

Cincy played the game in its new adidas jerseys and shorts.

Teams trot out unique unis NEW YORK (AP) — Camouflage-patterned shorts.

Neon-trimmed tops.

Those special uniforms Cincinnati trotted out at the Big East tournament were pretty eye-catching, to say the least.

“The most important thing is the recruits think they look great,” Bearcats coach Mick Cronin said with a smile.

Six college basketball teams are sporting the new Adidas digs during March Madness, and Cincinnati became the first men’s squad to break them out Wednesday in a 61-44 victory over Providence at Madison Square Garden.

“We love them,” said junior guard Sean Kilpatrick, who scored 17 points.

When two of his players were asked by a reporter if the garish uniforms felt better than they looked, Cronin stepped in with a snappy response.

“You notice, if you guys were going to go out tonight, they wouldn’t dress like you, either,” the coach said, drawing laughs. “They think they look good.”

Baylor, Kansas, Louisville, Notre Dame and UCLA also planned to wear the specially designed outfits, which feature bright colors and unusual print.

Baylor, Louisville and UCLA even agreed to have short sleeves on their jerseys — an idea Cronin turned down for his team.

Adidas debuted a shortsleeve basketball shirt with the NBA’s Golden State Warriors in February.

Alternate uniforms have become big business in college sports, from Oregon’s fluorescent tones with Nike to Maryland’s loud designs with Under Armour.

Adidas unveiled special lightweight basketball uniforms for Cincinnati, Louisville and Baylor at tournament time last season, and players quickly took a liking to them.

Donning their unique digs, Louisville beat Cincinnati in the Big East championship game and then advanced to the Final Four. The Bearcats reached the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament.

Male athletes, however, aren’t the only ones setting fashion trends in college sports. Women’s teams are also involved.

The Notre Dame women’s basketball team wasn’t thrilled with the new uniforms it debuted at the Big East tournament Sunday.

“I wasn’t (a fan),” guard Kayla McBride said, shaking her head in disapproval.

‘The Office’ takes sad, surprise turn Most long-running series treat their final seasons as a kind of victory lap. They run toward the inevitable, often concluding at the altar. Even NBC’s quirky “30 Rock” ended there.

For the last several months — or last few years, even — “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC) has been spinning its narrative wheels. It was difficult to predict where the show might end up because, with the exception of a series of romances that went nowhere, it, too, was going nowhere.

Who would have predicted that the writers would end the series by showing its central couple, Jim and Pam, possibly growing apart and splitting up before the final credits roll? It’s as if they were saying, “‘The Office’ has always been painful to watch. Now we’re going to make it excruciating before we go.”

In many ways, this development reflects the logic of character development. Both the audience and Pam fell in love with Jim the slacker, the cynic who prided himself on practical joking. He treated his job and, to some extent, his life as a bit of a joke.

But the sight of Pam’s once apathetic ex, Roy (David Denman), as a wildly successful entrepreneur planted the seeds of ambition in Jim. He went to Philadelphia to work on a business startup and fell in love with a life and a job that could amount to something.

The fact that Pam feels left behind by Jim and at the same time is uninterested in following him presents a brutal, honest character development on a show about young people. The fact that she might have feelings for the recently revealed soundman, a technician on the documentary show-within-a-show, is a wonderfully innovative touch. We may not like where “The Office” is heading in its final episodes, but we’re now more likely to follow its memorable trajectory.

Tonight’s other highlights

Chang’s memory loss becomes a subject of research on “Community” (7 p.m., NBC).

Bon Jovi performs, and the first finalist goes home on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

Leslie embraces video store preservation on “Parks and Recreation” (7:30 p.m., NBC).

All cards on the table on “Person of Interest” (8 p.m., CBS).

The gang pursues a truce between Will and Finn on “Glee” (8 p.m., Fox).

A surprise baptism on “Anger Management” (8:30 p.m., FX).

Breakups can be murder on “Elementary” (9 p.m., CBS).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, March 14: This year you become familiar with the unexpected, so much so that you might become bored when nothing new happens. Your luck with money depends on how well you respond to your inner voice. If you are single, remember that you don’t need to impress a new suitor.

If you are attached, the two of you might make a major investment that you both find exciting.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Allow your intuition to lead you. You might not be sure of your choice or your ability to complete what you want. Tonight: If you are tired, make it an early night.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Meetings and interpersonal communication are instrumental to your success. You might be more concerned about an issue than you realize. Tonight: Be with loved ones.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Go for what is heartfelt; otherwise, there could be a problem.

If you are in tune with your inner self, change will happen naturally.

Tonight: Out late.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) A new idea could point to many different avenues. You might want to try out one or two of them, but avoid getting too off track.

Tonight: In the moment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Allow yourself to express your energy and interest in a new way. Powerful feedback points to the correct direction. Tonight: Brainstorm with a friend.

mation comes from her mother in a gentle and compassionate way, so Mom’s support is crucial in making this easier.

Please ask the mother to come with you for mediation to see whether you can work on being a part of the child’s life.

You can discuss it with your clergyperson or a trained counselor, or contact your local family court for a referral to a family mediation program.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to change direction, but the unexpected will force your hand. Someone you have considered a tried-andtrue friend no longer expresses the same reliability. Tonight: Catch up with a friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Just when you assumed you were on cruise control, you’ll find out otherwise. A trusted loved one unexpectedly reverses direction. Tonight: Out and about.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Honor a change within yourself. You’ll see a situation far differently from how you have in the past. Tonight: Easy works.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The unexpected occurs, and it challenges your creativity.

You might discover that you are in your element. Tonight: Live it up!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to make a change, now that an unexpected development has occurred. Give up the need to be reactive; instead, gather information from many different sources. Tonight: At home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You like excitement. You will witness some fast changes, perhaps not in your life but in the lives of those around you. Tonight: Visit with a loved one.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Finances come to the forefront, as you pull the wild card with money. If you feel lucky, buy a lottery ticket. Tonight: Don’t lose sight of your financial goals.

Robert told me I need to pay my own bills.

He has a retirement income, and he still works. I receive Social Security. I have always been thrifty, and although I have a debit card, I am only allowed to use it for necessary things like groceries.

I pay for my clothes, haircuts, etc.

I bought a new coat yesterday with my own money. Robert scolded me and told me to watch my spending.
