Mass. St. to close if KU wins ———

Traffic would also be barred on side streets

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Park, party and be patient.

City officials are alerting fans who may come downtown to celebrate a Kansas University victory Saturday in the Final Four that downtown access will be different than it was following Sunday’s victory in the Elite Eight.

Police Chief Tarik Khatib said plans are for Massachusetts Street to Khatib be shut down to traffic from Sixth to 13th streets following a KU victory. Most side streets that cross Massachusetts Street also won’t be open to traffic. Last weekend, Massachusetts Street wasn’t shut down to traffic, although travel was extremely difficult because of the large crowds.

“Frankly, we just need the space the streets provide,” Khatib told city commissioners at a recent briefing. “There’s no way we can keep people on the sidewalks.

“But all of this does mean that if you park your car down there, you are probably staying down there for the duration.

We won’t be escorting anybody out.”

How we stack up off the court

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Perhaps some of you will be going to the Final Four in New Orleans this week, where surely you’ll run into an Ohio State Buckeye.

If so, ask them this: Why are you such a worthless nut?

No, we’re not trying to arrange for you to come back with a souvenir black eye. On the contrary, Ohio State boosters apparently take some pride in being worthless nuts. The Journal-World dug deep into its research budget this week to find out more about the Buckeyes — Kansas University’s opponent on Saturday night — and we decided to start with the actual Buckeye. As in, what the heck is it?

Brutus Buckeye is Ohio State’s beloved mascot, which is why we were a bit surprised with how Ohio State’s

WATCH THE GAME AT THE FIELDHOUSE Allen Fieldhouse will open on Saturday evening to allow basketball fans to watch Kansas University’s Final Four game on the fieldhouse’s giant video board.

The Kansas University Alumni Association sent a message to its members Wednesday announcing the fieldhouse will open at 6 p.m. for fans to watch KU’s game against the Ohio State Buckeyes in New Orleans.

A spokeswoman for the alumni association said there will be no admission fee and seating will be first-come, first-served.

The association also announced the location of a pre-game pep rally it will host in New Orleans.

The pep rally will run from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Celestin Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans. Admission is $10, and tickets can be purchased at the KU team hotel, which is the JW Marriott, 614 Canal St. in New Orleans.

Tickets also can be purchased at Walk-On’s, 1009 Poydras St. in New Orleans, which will serve as the “official bar of the KU Alumni Association” during the Final Four.

EDNA FRANCES DUNFIELD BULLOCK Edna Frances Dunfield Bullock, beloved wife of Robert J. “Bob” Bullock, went to join him in heaven on March 26, 2012. She was born in Lebo, Kansas on July 15, 1923 to Joseph W. and Irma Dunfield.

Edna was always a hard worker. She was a harvest hand during the 1930s, and worked at her mother’s boarding house during high school and college.

She earned a Teacher’s Certificate from Kansas State Teacher’s College and was a stock chaser at Beechcraft in Wichita during WW II. There she met the love of her life, Bob Bullock. She started the E-Z Nut Cup Company selling homemade party supplies, and in 1946 started a new career as a mother. The family moved to Shreveport, La. in 1956, where she volunteered for Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Welcome Wagon, and as a MYF counselor for Broadmoor Methodist Church.

After moving to Houston, Edna was a charter member of Covenant United Methodist Church, president of W.S.C.S., and organizer of Mother’s Day Out and Young at Hearts, where she became an avid dominoes player. She and Bob loved to dance. As members of the Meadow Brook Mavericks square dance club, they traveled all over the country finding places to dance.

They won Texas Square Dancers of the year when they turned 80 years old.

She always entertained everyone with her singing and sense of humor.

She climbed trees until well into her 70s.

Her sister, Irmalee Duncan of Anthony, Kansas preceded her in death. She is survived by her brother Gerald Dunfield and wife Frances of McLouth, Kansas; and sisters Dorothy Overall of Portland, Oregon; and Thelma Bray and husband Keith of Silver Lake, Kansas.

Edna is survived by her children: Jolene Andersen of Lawrence, Kansas; Becky Lott, and husband Daryl of Houston, Texas; Jon Bullock, and wife Patty of Colleyville, Texas; Mark Bullock, and wife Paula of Pearland, Texas. Grandchildren include: Michelle Andersen and Zachary Turner of Lawrence, Kansas; Jennifer Swartwout, Bethany M. LeJune, Daniel French, Lara Bullock, Cheri Schneider, Joey and Andy Bullock, and seven greatgrandchildren.

Visitation is March 29, 6-8pm at Forest Park East Funeral Home, 21620 Gulf Freeway, Webster TX 77598. The funeral will be on Friday, March 30 at 10:00 a.m. at First United Methodist Church, Pearland TX. Please sign this guestbook at obituaries. ljworld.com.

But finally, the Ohio State site just comes out and says it: “However, in general, the trees and its nuts are of little practical use: the wood does not burn well, the bark has an unpleasant odor, and the bitter nut meat is mildly toxic.”

The drawing is open to anyone who joins or renews their membership in the Douglas County Historical Society.

The exhibit will feature several pieces of memorabilia from the early days of the game, including a pair of Spalding Guides, an early-day publication, that were signed

by James Naismith and Phog Allen. The museum also will display many of its photos from basketball-related events in Lawrence.

“The exhibit is designed to look at how basketball impacts the community and the connections that it helps us make,” said Steve Nowak, executive director of the museum.

City’s anti-discrimination ordinance said to be under attack in Statehouse

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The Kansas House on Wednesday advanced legislation that would allow a religious defense to discriminate against gays.

Two Lawrence representatives attacked the bill, called the Kansas Preservation of Religious Freedom Act, as an attempt to destroy a city of Lawrence anti-discrimination ordinance that includes sexual orientation.

In an impassioned speech, state Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said, “I am very proud of my Lawrence community, and I’m very proud of the ordinance that we passed.” Ballard added, “Discrimination is an injustice. It is an injustice to everyone.”

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said, “I don’t believe it is ever right to discriminate against someone because of their sexual orientation.”

But State Rep. Lance Kinzer, R-Olathe, defended his bill, saying it was meant to make sure government could not infringe on an individual’s religious beliefs.

“Free exercise of religion is at the core of

Davis

who we are as a people,” Kinzer said.

Davis asked Kinzer if under Kinzer’s bill an apartment owner could cite his religious beliefs to fight a complaint if he refused to rent to a samesex couple.

“That is generally correct,” Kinzer said.

Davis said that was unfair to the city of Lawrence, which is the only city in Kansas that has an anti-discrimination ordinance designed to protect people based on sexual orientation.

State Rep. Charlie Roth, R-Salina, said that Kinzer’s legislation was “homophobic” and that it will hurt Kansas’ image. “It sends the message that Kansas is not welcoming. Kansas will become known as the land of the pure as defined by the few,” Roth said.

But Kinzer said local units of government should not be allowed to engage in religious discrimination against its citizens.

The bill was approved

89-27. Ballard, Davis and state Rep. Tom Sloan, RLawrence, voted against it. State Reps. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, and TerriLois Gregory, R-Baldwin City, voted against it.

The bill would prohibit state and local governments from substantially burdening a person’s religious beliefs unless the government can prove that the burden is advancing a compelling government interest and is the least restrictive way of advancing that interest.

The measure is supported by Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration, the Kansas Catholic Conference and Concerned Women for America of Kansas. It was opposed

by Lawrence officials, the Kansas Equality Coalition and the state chapter of the National Organization for Women.

Right before advancing the Kansas Preservation of Freedom Act, the House gave preliminary approval to putting a chapel for prayer and meditation in the Statehouse.

Both proposals will require a final vote before going to the Senate. Those votes will probably be taken today.

House rejects proposed amendment on funding

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — The Kansas House on Wednesday rejected a proposed amendment to the state constitution that sought to clarify that only the Legislature can decide how to appropriate state money.

The House voted 7944, failing to reach the required 84 votes to change the constitution. Senators had not yet considered the proposal, and no further action will be taken this session. The measure had the support of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and GOP leaders in both chambers.

Legislators had given the proposal a strong 91-31 vote on Tuesday to send it to final action.

The change would have modified the Kansas Constitution to state clearly that only the Legislature, not the judicial or executive branches, can appropriate money.

Supporters say the

change is necessary to prevent the Kansas Supreme Court from ordering legislators to increase state funding on programs, in particular school funding.

A 2005 court ruling forced legislators to increase school funding by nearly $1 billion.

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican who championed the amendment, called its failure “a shame.” Despite that, he said the vote demonstrates that should the state Supreme Court order lawmakers to spend a certain amount of money for schools, the House would resist.

“I presume in the last 24 hours, the education lobbyists had some successful influence on our members — that would be the way that I would read it,” he said.

Opponents of the amendment argue that it would take away the rights of Kansas residents to seek a remedy in court when they believe they

have been wronged by state government.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat who opposes the measure, said some legislators saw that they shouldn’t block a remedy if they aren’t living up to their constitutional obligations on funding schools.

“Sometimes the courts have to get involved, and we shouldn’t limit any school district’s ability to enforce what is provided for in the Kansas Constitution,” Davis said.

Davis described the proposal as an attempt by Brownback to “find a way around the looming lawsuit.”

The Kansas Constitution currently says the state cannot spend any money unless the Legislature makes a specific appropriation. But in the school finance decisions, the Kansas Supreme Court told lawmakers they had to increase aid to public schools.

Gov. confident Legislature will deliver on tax cuts

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Wednesday expressed optimism that the Legislature would approve income and business tax cuts during the current session.

Meanwhile, a legislative memo indicated the state would need to add within two years more than 420,000 new workers to spend money on goods and services to make up the $829 million in lost revenue from tax cuts under a proposal approved by the Senate. The state currently has a labor force of about 1.5 million people.

Speaking to the National Federation of Independent Business-Kansas, Brownback said his main goal is to reduce personal income tax rates and remove taxes on nonwage income for nearly 200,000 businesses.

Man gets prison time House fire causes for role in robbery $450K in damage

ON THE RECORD

A fire that destroyed a house Tuesday southwest of Lawrence caused an estimated $450,000 in damage, according to a Douglas County Sheriff’s report.

The fire occurred about 12:45 p.m. at the home at 1069 East 850 Road, just southeast of Clinton Lake, after a neighbor reported hearing a lightning strike and saw flames coming from the roof. It took fire crews from Clinton Township and other area townships to put out the fire.

The owners were not home at the time. No one was injured, although two cats were not accounted for.

Sgt. Steve Lewis, a sheriff’s spokesman, said Wednesday the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation by Clinton Township firefighters and the Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Office, but it is suspected to be a lightning strike.

According to Douglas County records, the property is owned by Carlos and Jacquelyn Castillo.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• A woman was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Wednesday afternoon as firefighters investigated a possible hazardous material incident in a Lawrence apartment.

Sgt. Ted Bordman, a Lawrence police supervisor, said that around noon, an officer was sent to speak to the woman at the apartment complex in the 1300 block of Westbrooke Street near Bob Billings Parkway and Crestline Drive. Officers were checking her welfare after they were called earlier about a report that she was acting strangely on the nearby Orchards Golf Course.

The officer followed the woman into her apartment, and she shut herself in the bathroom.

The officer called for more assistance, and minutes later the woman was found unresponsive next to a bucket in the bathroom.

Police called for firefighters to investigate the potentially hazardous material, Bordman said.

The House and Senate have approved bills that accomplish Brownback’s general goals but in different ways. A conference committee of House and Senate tax leaders is meeting to work on those differences. The legislative memo addressed the Senate plan.

Democrats, who are vastly outnumbered in the Legislature, have opposed Brownback’s plan and those passed in the House and Senate, saying they would increase the tax burden on low- and middle-income Kansans, while giving wealthy Kansans and businesses big tax breaks.

Brownback told the NFIB he would like to see property taxes go down, but that wouldn’t grow the economy.

On another issue, Brownback said the Legislature should leave illegal immigration to the federal government.

Some Republicans want to debate proposals drafted by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who helped write tough immigration laws in Alabama and Arizona. And other Republicans back the Kansas Chamber of Commerce’s plan to allow illegal immigrants to work in some hard-to-fill jobs.

“I think it’s primarily a federal issue,” Brownback said.

Douglas County Commissioner Jim Flory is seeking a second fouryear term in office.

Flory, a Republican who represents the 3rd District, filed paperwork on Wednesday to run in the Nov. 6 general Flory election.

He is the first candidate to enter the County Commission race. The deadline to file is June 1. The position comes with a $33,862 annual salary.

Democratic Commissioner Nancy Thellman, who represents the 2nd District, is also up for reelection this year.

Flory, who lives in rural Douglas County, is a retired attorney who served — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild as Douglas County district can be reached at 785-423-0668. attorney, an assistant Kansas attorney general, assis-

tant U.S. attorney and U.S. Attorney for Kansas.

He was elected to the County Commission from a full field of candidates in 2008.

“I enjoy it, worked hard, and I think I have done a good job for my constituents,” Flory said about his decision to seek a second term. “And, there are things we haven’t accomplished that I want to be on the commission to accomplish.”

Flory said he wants to continue seeing success in expanding the bioscience industry in Douglas County and expects debate on how the county regulates an environmental section in the county’s land use plan. And, the county will continue to face fiscal challenges, he said.

“I’m sure how we spend our money in the next four years will be an issue that people want an answer to before we cast our ballots,” Flory said.

Holocaust survivor recounts story to students Brownback has a

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Few are as qualified to talk about the dangers of bigotry and intolerance as Holocaust survivor Eva Edmands.

On Wednesday afternoon, Edmands visited with sixth-graders studying the Holocaust at St. John Catholic School.

Edmands, who was born the same year as Anne Frank, also went into hiding as a child and kept a diary. As she talked, Edmands pointed to a map of France, passed out photos of herself as a young girl and showed copies of a fake French identity card.

Edmands has shared her stories hundreds of times to schools, civic groups and churches. She does so to keep the tragedies of the Holocaust alive.

“The great fear we have as survivors, because we are going to be gone in a few years, is who is going to keep the story going?” Edmands asked the class.

She urged them to learn from history.

“Whenever you hear somebody say something nasty about someone else, HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR EVA it is your duty to speak EDMANDS, LAWRENCE, shared up,” she said. “Will you this map of her family’s promise me that?” moves, who were in hiding during the Holocaust, in a ‘Things would never be visit with sixth-graders at St. the same’ John Catholic School.

“They took (my grandmother) away screaming,” she said. “She died in a camp, and my grandpa did too. One of the reasons I give this talk is to preserve their memory.”

Living conditions The family fled to Paris, taking a train that passed through Germany on the way. In France, they lived in a tiny apartment with Edmands and her mother sharing a bed and her father sleeping in the attic.

After Germany’s occupation of Paris, Edmands father was shipped to a labor camp in the south of France. Edmands and her mother left Paris to be with her father, a journey of more than 600 miles that required crossing from the part of France that was occupied by Germany to the area controlled by France.

Edmands crawled through barbwire in a dress to cross the border.

When her father was warned that he was about to be sent to Germany, the family fled again and made an unsuccessful attempt to cross into neutral Switzerland.

The family finally found shelter with the Roman Catholic priest L’abbe Claudius Longeray in the rectory of Saint Martin, a mountaintop parish in Annecy, France. Longeray hid them in an unused boiler room in the subbasement of the rectory.

SHOWING A PICTURE of two officers of the Gestapo, Holocaust survivor Eva Edmands, discusses with St. John Catholic School sixth-graders Wednesday her experience of being a ”hidden child” in France during the Holocaust.

“It was no bigger than your average walk-in closet. No windows, just a door going into the fields,” she told the class.

Her father would sneak out at night to chop wood, and they had a garden plot for planting vegetables and potatoes. Edmands was able to attend school, and in the summer she watched the priest’s flock of 30 sheep.

For three years, they were cared for by the priest.

“Here was a man who lived the faith every day,” Edmands said. “To me, he was a saint.”

In the years after France was liberated, Edmands’ family immigrated to the United States. But not before she made a promise to herself.

“When we finally left, I made a vow that I wanted the whole world to know what this man had done for us,” she told the class.

After his death, the priest was awarded the Medal of the Just, the highest honor given by The Yad Vashem, Israel’s official memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. On the medal, which is displayed in the father’s church, are the words from the Talmud: “He who saves one life saves all of humanity.”

“Isn’t that beautiful?”

Edmands asked the class.

beef with critics of ‘pink slime’

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Wednesday joined four other governors from cattle states to go to bat for a ground beef product that critics have dubbed “pink slime.”

In a joint statement, the governors called lean finely textured beef a nutritious and safe product “backed by sound sci- Brownback ence.”

The governors said inaccurate reports in the media were causing an unnecessary panic among consumers that would hurt the beef industry, result in higher prices at the grocery store and cost thousands of workers their jobs.

“By taking this safe product out of the market, grocery retailers and consumers are allowing media inaccuracies to trump sound science,” the statement said. “This is a disservice to the beef industry, hundreds of workers who make their livings producing this safe product and consumers as a whole.”

The statement was put out by Brownback, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. Matt Michels, on behalf of South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard, who was on a trade mission in China.

The officials urged grocery retailers and others to keep selling the product.

The product is made from meat cutting scraps that are treated with ammonium hydroxide gas to kill bacteria. Lean finely textured beef, or LFTB, has been used for years and is found in retail ground beef, low-fat hot dogs, lunch meat, beef sticks and a number of other products. After a recent public outcry, the USDA said school districts did not have to use the produces in their school lunch programs.

Industry experts and health officials say LFTB is safe but that the product has been plagued by a public relations nightmare. Earlier this week, Beef Products Inc., the main manufacturer and inventor of the filler, suspended production at three of four plants, including one in Kansas.

The group of governors planned today to visit the one Beef Products plant that is still in operation in South Sioux City, Neb. In Kansas, the beef industry generates more than $6.5 billion in cash receipts a year. Already, more than 650 workers in Kansas, Texas and Iowa have been temporarily laid off, according to Brownback’s office.

According to the National Meat Association, as many as 3,000 American jobs will be affected when suppliers are also factored in.

TOPEKA — A majority in the House approved a bill on Wednesday to install a meditation and prayer room in the Statehouse.

House Bill 2694, originally introduced by Rep. Arlen Siegfried, R-Olathe, was created to provide space in the Capitol for state legislators and others to pray and relax.

The Kansas Statehouse previously had a chapel in the 1960s and early 1970s, before it was changed into an office.

The room will be open to people of any denomination or belief to use. Rep. Bill Otto, R-LeRoy, said the room will lack any religious symbols.

“We were assured this is a place where there would be no religious symbolism,” Otto said. “The room should be free for anyone to use.”

All costs associated with construction, remodeling and furnishing will be paid by private donors, who will remain anonymous.

Rep. Sean Gatewood D-Topeka, said he feared the

HEALTH CARE REFORM

Supreme Court appears split over ideology

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Concluding three days of fervent, public disagreement, a Supreme Court seemingly split over ideology will now wrestle in private about whether to strike down key parts or even all of President Barack Obama’s historic health care law. The justices’ decision, due this June, will affect the way virtually every American receives and pays for care.

The court wrapped up public arguments Wednesday on the overhaul, which is designed to extend health insurance to most of the 50 million Americans now without it. The first and biggest issue the justices must decide is whether the centerpiece of the law, the requirement that nearly all Americans carry insurance or pay a penalty, is constitutional.

Wednesday’s argument time was unusual in that it assumed a negative answer to that central question.

What should happen to other provisions, the justices and lawyers debated, if the court strikes down the requirement? If the justices are following their normal practice, they had not even met to take a preliminary vote in the case before all argument concluded.

Questions at the court this week showed a strong ideological division be-

SUSAN CLARK OF SANTA MONICA, CALIF., who opposes health care reform, stands with a red hand painted over her mouth to represent what she said is socialism taking away her choices and rights Wednesday in front of the Supreme Court in Washington on the final day of arguments regarding the health care law signed by President Barack Obama. tween the liberal justices who seem inclined to uphold the law in its entirety and the conservative justices whose skepticism about Congress’ power to force people to buy insurance suggests deep trouble for the insurance requirement, and possibly the entire law.

The divide on the court reflects a similar split in public opinion about the law, which Congress approved two years ago when Democrats controlled both houses. The justices’ decision is sure to become a significant part of this year’s presidential and congressional elec-

tion campaigns, in which Republicans have relentlessly attacked the law.

Both liberal and conservative justices appeared on Wednesday to accept the administration’s argument that at least two important insurance changes are so closely tied to the must-have-coverage requirement that they could not survive without it: provisions requiring insurers to cover people regardless of their existing medical problems and limiting how much those companies can charge in premiums based on a person’s age or health.

Less clear was whether the court would conclude

the entire law, with its hundreds of unrelated provisions, would have to be cast aside.

The justices also spent part of the day considering a challenge by 26 states to the expansion of the federal-state Medicaid program for low-income Americans — an important feature which alone was expected to extend coverage to 15 million people and which no lower court has rejected.

Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. took a few seconds at the end of the Medicaid argument to make a final plea for the court to uphold the entire law, which he said would “secure the blessings of liberty” for millions of Americans by providing them with affordable health care.

Verrilli told the court that Congress had made a policy decision to fight the high cost of medical care through the new law. “I would urge the court to respect that judgment,” he said.

Paul Clement, the lawyer for the states challenging the law, retorted that it would be a strange definition of liberty to make people who may not want it buy health care insurance.

And he called Congress’ threat to cut all Medicaid funding from states that refuse to expand the program “a direct threat to our federalism.”

In Cuba, Pope calls for more freedom HAVANA (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI demanded more freedom for the Catholic Church in communist-run Cuba and preached against “fanaticism” in an unusually political sermon Wednesday before hundreds of thousands at Revolution Plaza, with President Raul Castro in the front row.

Before the pope’s departure, he met with the president’s brother, revolutionary leader Fidel Castro. Castro grilled the pontiff on changes in church liturgy and his role as spiritual leader of the

world’s Catholics, a Vatican spokesman said.

Benedict’s homily was a not-so-subtle jab at the island’s leadership before a vast crowd of Cubans, both in the sprawling plaza and watching on television. But he also clearly urged an end to Cuba’s isolation, a reference to the 50-year U.S. economic embargo and the inability of 11 American presidents and brothers Fidel and Raul Castro to forge peace.

“Cuba and the world need change, but this will occur only if each one is in

a position to seek the truth and chooses the way of love, sowing reconciliation and fraternity,” Benedict said. The remark built upon the famed call of his predecessor, John Paul II, who said in his groundbreaking 1998 visit that Cuba should “open itself up to the world, and may the world open itself up to Cuba.”

With the country’s leadership listening from front-row seats, Benedict referred to the biblical account of how youths persecuted by the Babylonian king “preferred to face

He said all people share a desire for “authentic freedom,” without which the truth that Christianity offers cannot be found.

“On the other hand there are those who wrongly interpret this search for the truth, leading them to irrationality and fanaticism; they close themselves up in ‘their truth’ and try to impose it on others,” he said from the altar, backed by an image of Cuba’s revolutionary hero Ernesto “Che” Guevara.

Kan. GOP split stalls immigration plans

Wednesday’s markets

TOPEKA — Proposals for cracking down on illegal immigration in Kansas are foundering because of a split among majority Republicans in the state House, but GOP leaders faced pressure from some conservatives Wednesday to get legislation moving.

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, of Hutchinson, told fellow Republicans in a caucus meeting that he’d prefer to avoid a debate on immigration, suggesting it would be “bloody” and chiding some of them for pushing an issue that is “all about politics.” He said if the House can’t avoid a debate, he wants it to consider only a limited bill with widespread GOP support.

But agreement among Republicans appears to be elusive. Some conservatives want the House to debate proposals favored

by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a former law professor who helped draft tough immigration laws in Alabama and Arizona.

Some rural Republicans back a proposal from influential business groups to create a program to place some illegal immigrants in hard-to-fill jobs in agriculture and other industries.

LMH to seek cancer alliance membership

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Board of Trustees decided Wednesday to pursue becoming a member of the Midwest Cancer Alliance, which connects medical facilities and research organizations to Kansas University Cancer Center’s clinical trials, education programs and outreach efforts.

Sheryle D’Amico, vice president of LMH’s Physician Division, said one of the potential benefits of membership would be access to new clinical trials.

“KU Cancer Center continues to add research folks who are doing trials,” she said. “The hope is that there will be an expansion of the clinical trials that are available through the Midwest Cancer Alliance. It would be an enhancement to what we already have.”

LMH’s Oncology Center already has access to more than 150 clinical trials through the Wichita Community Clinical Oncology program. The trials are funded by the National Cancer Institute.

In addition to new clinical trials, D’Amico believes partnering with the Midwest Cancer Alliance will increase awareness about the research that’s conducted at LMH. She said the staff has expertise that it may be able to offer other hospitals across the state.

Since the Midwest Cancer Alliance was formed four years ago, LMH leaders have re-evaluated whether to join, or not, every six months. Until now, they didn’t believe there would be a benefit to patients. They also couldn’t see the benefits of paying the price tag — $25,000, $55,000 or $100,000 annually, depending on membership level.

Now, they do.

The Midwest Cancer Alliance has grown from four members in its inaugural year to 15, and they include the Kansas Bioscience Authority, StormontVail HealthCare, St. Luke’s Health System and Chil-

dren’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics. This fall, Via Christi Hospital in Wichita also joined; it administers the Wichita Community Clinical Oncology program that LMH belongs to.

“Following the decision of Via Christi-Wichita, we believe the timing is right,” D’Amico said. “We figured if they joined, then maybe we should too.”

To become a member, MCA officials will visit LMH’s Oncology Center and then help determine which membership level best suits the hospital. LMH expects to become a clinical research partner, which is a mid-level membership and would cost $55,000 annually. LMH also will have to fill out an application.

Dr. Gary Doolittle, medical director for MCA, said the membership process could take two months or six months, depending on the needs of the site. He said MCA can offer a variety of services such as a patient navigator, psychologist, education courses and even cancer screening events.

“The alliance really is about providing excellent cancer care to people in our region, and a network like this, I think, is really important for the region and encourages a level of collaboration that has not existed before,” he said.

“We really are trying to raise the bar for cancer care on all levels — here at KU and with our partners.”

Doolittle said MCA hopes to add two or three new sites per year.

D’Amico said LMH has always supported KU Cancer Center’s efforts to receive a National Cancer Institute designation. She believes the MCA membership will help raise awareness of that support.

LMH’s Oncology Center serves about 600 new patients each year and administers about 18,000 treatments.

Transparency President Obama appears to have forgotten his campaign pledge to make his administration more transparent.

O

ne of the most consistent pledges in the 2008 Obama campaign for the presidency was that his administration would be known for restoring “transparency” in how he and his top aides ran the government.

It was a nice-sounding pledge, but, as usual, campaign promises somehow seem to be forgotten or trampled once the winner moves into the White House.

This happens with candidates for both parties, but Obama and his inner circle seem to have made a mockery of the transparency pledge.

Perhaps the biggest example of this was the passage of the Obamacare health care program. Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi even acknowledged at the time that the public really wouldn’t know what was in the bill until after it was passed. This bill will affect every single American, and yet, the measure was passed without the public being told what was in it. Members of the U.S. Supreme Court this week heard arguments on the law, not about the secrecy surrounding its passage, but on whether it violates the Constitution.

Nothing is more important than the protection and security of this nation; that’s the first responsibility of the president. However, a few days ago, Obama was heard telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he needed more time to resolve issues including plans for a missile defense system in Europe. He said, “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.”

Medvedev, who is about to turn his office over to former president Vladimir Putin, replied, “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir and I stand with you.”

What message does this send to Americans about what their president may intend to do if he is re-elected for another four years? Where is the transparency about a matter that is so critical to our national security and involves a country that merits so little trust?

Consider what Obama already has done with his executive orders and what might happen if he were to win another four years in the White House. Along with transparency being nothing more than a campaign pledge, Americans have every reason to be worried, particularly if Democrats hold onto the Senate and regain control of the House.

As John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Tuesday, Obama’s whispered statement to Russia’s president should serve as a “FIRE BELL IN THE NIGHT.” The big question is: Who is listening to the “fire bell”? Unfortunately, not many in the nation’s media.

Immigrant tests economic liberty NASHVILLE, TENN. — Ali Bokhari, now 39, emigrated from Pakistan in 2000 and eventually settled here as a taxi driver, and soon experienced a quintessentially American itch, a nagging sense that “I cannot grow.”

But he had an idea: “I can build a better business model for something Nashville has been missing.” He built it, and now knows that no good deed goes unpunished by today’s political model — collusion between entrenched businesses and compliant government.

Bokhari bought a black Lincoln sedan and began offering cut-rate rides — an average of $25 — to and from the airport, around downtown, and in neighborhoods not well served by taxis. After one year he had 12 cars. Now he has 20, and 15 independent contractors with their own cars, and a website, and lots of customers. He also has some enemies, including the established taxi and sedan companies, and a city government that is, as interventionist governments generally are, devoted to regulations that protect the strong by preserving the status quo.

With the quiet support of the taxi companies, which have not raised rates since Bokhari and some similar entrepreneurs went into business, the limo companies got regulators to mandate a $45 minimum charge for any ride.

Not content with that gross injury, government added crippling insults: It limited the age of cars and number of miles on them — regardless

“

But the Constitution, and especially the 14th Amendment, is supposed to protect the individual’s liberty, including economic liberty, from government’s depredations.” of the cars’ conditions — and forbade dispatches from cellphones, which is how startup limo companies operate.

Represented by the Austin, Texas, office of the Institute for Justice, the nation’s only libertarian public interest law firm, Bokhari is seeking judicial recognition of his constitutional right to economic liberty. Since the New Deal, courts, with no textual or any other constitutional basis, have distinguished between economic and non-economic liberty.

Giving the latter scant protection, courts have permitted any government infringement of it that can be said to have a “rational basis.” This absurdly permissive test has produced a charade of judg-

ing — a dereliction of the judicial duty to protect liberty.

The courts’ dereliction of duty has been presented as noble deference to popular government.

But the Constitution, and especially the 14th Amendment, is supposed to protect the individual’s liberty, including economic liberty, from government’s depredations.

One purpose of that amendment’s protection of “the privileges or immunities” of American citizenship was to defend the economic liberties of freed slaves from laws restricting entry into trades and businesses — laws written to insulate white Southern businessmen from competition.

But the amendment protects all the “privileges or immunities” of all Americans.

In 1873, in a 5-4 decision in the Slaughterhouse Cases, the Supreme Court, without any warrant from legislative history of the 14th Amendment, construed “privileges or immunities” so narrowly as to make it a nullity. Now, however, Bokhari may help catalyze a reconsideration of the constitutional basis of economic liberty.

In 2002, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a Tennessee law that prohibited anyone without a license from selling caskets.

The court said the law did nothing to protect the public and merely shielded licensed funeral directors from competition: “Protecting a discrete interest group from economic competition is not a legitimate governmental purpose.” This

victory was achieved by the Institute for Justice.

In 2004, however, the 10th Circuit upheld an Oklahoma law requiring online casket retailers to have funeral director’s licenses, which require several years of course work, a one-year apprenticeship, the embalming of 25 bodies, and two written exams. The court did not dispute that this is protectionism for funeral directors, but breezily wrote that “while baseball may be the national pastime of the citizenry, dishing out special economic benefits to certain in-state industries remains the favored pastime of state and local governments.”

The 10th Circuit is right about the practice but is disgracefully tolerant of treating economic liberty as a plaything of politicians, who should be forbidden from favoring some interests and disfavoring others. The 6th Circuit is correct that government acts illegitimately when it abets “transfer seeking” — the use of laws to transfer wealth from the disfavored to the favored. The Supreme Court, which is supposed to resolve such contradictions among the circuits, should seize the opportunity to correct a 139-year-old error.

Fortunately, immigrants such as Bokhari often remind this nation, which they have embraced, of the national principles that drew them here. Unfortunately, the nation often needs reminding.

Miscalculations

To the editor: Carl Burkhead’s letter in the Public Forum (March 24) made me wary of what we will be hearing in this year’s presidential election. Using biblical quotes to support one’s position on a myriad of problems seems quite common, but I find it offensive when it is used to support a political viewpoint in bizarre and untrue ways.

Burkhead failed to name the person who forwarded this message that claimed, “Obama is the most biblically hostile president,” nor did he tell us who wrote it, which always helps in the true-false evaluation. According to the web link he provided, the author is David Barton. According to Wikipedia, Barton is an evangelical preacher, former vice chairman of the Texas Republican Party and political consultant to the Republican National Committee as outreach to evangelicals.

Wikipedia continues: “Barton’s position that the modern view of separation of church and state is not consistent with the views of our Founders. His official biography describes him as ‘an expert in historical and constitutional issues.’ Barton holds no formal credentials in history or law and scholars dispute the accuracy and integrity of his assertions about history, accusing him of practicing misleading historical revisionism, ‘pseudo scholarship’ and ‘outright falsehoods.’ His research has been described as flawed by many historians, who dismiss his work as that of “a biased amateur who cherrypicks quotes from history and the Bible.”

Perhaps, we all need to be kindly reminded what a false prophet really is, not only in Christianity but in other religions and ways of life.

Sally Van Tassel, Lawrence

To the editor: People say we need to improve math education in our schools. I would suggest we start with journalism majors. The Journal-World has published some pretty egregious mathematical errors lately.

In the article about the Pi Day celebration, you defined pi as the ratio of the circumference of a circle. Period.

Any ratio requires two numbers, so you should have said pi is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter.

You (or maybe it was a reader) said that recently Venus and Jupiter were parallel to each other. Points can’t be parallel, only lines or planes can be.

You could have said the planets formed a line parallel to the horizon, or simply that they appeared near each other.

The old water tower to be used as a baseball museum in Muscotah was said to have a circumference of 22 feet. Circumference is the distance around the water tower, and if it’s 22 feet, the diameter would be about 7 feet. That’s pretty small for a museum. Judging from the picture, I’d guess that the water tower has a diameter of 22 feet.

Maybe you should hire a KU math or science major as an intern to review your articles for mathematical and scientific correctness. It’s embarrassing to see such errors in a university town.

Tony Miller, Lawrence

Wishful thinking To the editor: In blaming the Obama administration for high gasoline prices, Tom Shewmon wrote in his March 22 letter that “we’ve not seen the highest high of a gallon of gas – not even close.” He’s

probably right because, in 2008, Bush’s last full year in office, gasoline reached an all-time high of $4.11 per gallon. Fox News, alarmed at the blame directed at Bush, produced and aired reports demonstrating that a U.S. president cannot control oil prices. Then the worldwide price of crude oil crashed, dropping to a low of $36.51 per barrel in January 2009 just before Obama took office.

And Fox News got it right. Historically, U.S. gasoline prices and world crude oil prices directly correlate. Interestingly, U.S. crude oil production during the eight years of the Bush administration dropped from 5,801,000 barrels per day (2001) to 4,950,000 barrels per day (2008). Domestic oil production during the Obama administration, however, has risen to 5,673,000 barrels per day (2011), but U.S. demand is down and we now export gasoline and diesel. Yet our gas prices, mirroring the world oil prices that U.S. refiners pay, have gone up, showing again that the price of oil is affected by such things as dangers and threats in the Middle East and the increasing demand for gasoline and diesel in India and China.

If only a U.S. president could control the world price of crude oil and thereby the price of gasoline — a lovely thought from the land of wishful thinking.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

’Mates respect Taylor NEW ORLEANS — When Kansas University senior Conner Teahan reflects on the season that led the Jayhawks to the Final Four, he finds himself in the Kansas locker room in the Lahaina Civic Center, site of the Maui Invitational. KU had just lost to Duke, 68-61, to drop its record to 3-2.

Teahan’s memory sees Tyshawn Taylor, who had just totaled 17 points and four assists, in tears, blaming himself for the loss because of his 11 turnovers.

That passion meant a lot to Teahan and made last Sunday’s Final Four celebration in the locker room of the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis even more meaningful.

“I don’t know if I could be more proud of a player, ever,” Teahan said of Taylor. “He’s done so well for us. And regardless of him making bad plays, he makes so many great plays for us.

It’s really ridiculous how important he is to our team.

We wouldn’t be anywhere without him.”

That’s true. Even with Taylor shooting 0-for-17 from three-point range so far in the NCAA Tournament, Kansas couldn’t have reached the Final Four without the extroverted native of Hoboken, N.J., forcing turnovers at one end, breaking down defenses at the other.

Teammates seemed every bit as elated that Taylor reached the Final Four as they were for themselves.

“It definitely makes it sweeter,” reserve guard Niko Roberts said. “I’ve really never seen him so happy.”

Added freshman Naadir Tharpe, who has taken notes on everything, good and bad, that Taylor has done: “He just had a huge smile, and he came in and told everybody that he loves us, and he wouldn’t rather do this with any other team. To hear that is just exciting, and it shows how much love he has for this team and how much love he has for Kansas.”

There’s a reason Taylor’s teammates love him, and it’s not the same one that inspired the initially reluctant fans finally to stand in his corner. Winning means a lot, but these guys respect Taylor’s struggle. Good games and bad. Suspensions and senior nights. Off-thecourt trouble and on-thecourt greatness. Taylor has experienced it all.

KU junior Kevin Young, a transfer from Loyola Marymount, is one of the few players on the roster who knew Taylor before teaming with him. Young, who played for Puerto Rico in the FIBA U19 World Championships in 2009 in New Zealand, said he remembered facing Taylor and Team USA in the championships and remembered thinking he was amazing. He also knew about Taylor’s troubles.

“Before I got here, I heard about all this stuff going on with him and his suspensions and all that,” Young recalled. “He’s been through so much. I’m just so happy he made it this far. He’s our leader. And he’s an extension of coach (Bill Self), and that’s what makes him such a good player.”

Roberts said he always Please see TAIT, page 3B

KANSAS GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR DUCKS DOWN TO RECEIVE A NECKLACE OF BEADS as the Jayhawks arrive at the JW Marriott on Wednesday in downtown New Orleans.

Jayhawks jazzed to arrive in New Orleans

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

NEW ORLEANS — Sirens filling the air, Kansas University’s basketball team bus received a police escort into downtown New Orleans at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Jayhawk players and coaches exited in back of the JW Marriott hotel to much fanfare. Workers placed beads over their heads, while a six-piece band played tunes like “When The Saints Go Marching In.”

“I love jazz, and this week I’m going to love it more than I ever have, I hope,” KU coach Bill Self said.

The team was to practice today at an undisclosed location and hold media sessions at the New Orleans Superdome. On Friday, it’s more media and a shootaround open to the public from 3:10 to 4 p.m. at the Dome.

“We’re not going to turn them loose on Bourbon Street, although I totally

trust my guys,” Self said with a smile. “But they can go out and eat, walk around (Wednesday night). We’ll have curfew relatively early because tomorrow is a busy day. Friday will be a busy day.. It’s free time tonight, and beginning tomorrow they’ll be tied up every minute of the day for the most part.”

KU will play Ohio State in a Final Four semifinal approximately 7:49 p.m.

Saturday in the newly named Superdome.

“I think what was cool was driving in (from airport) and seeing what used to be the Superdome. I guess it’s now seeing the MercedesBenz Superdome,” Self said.

“It’s a cool view. Then driving by and seeing all the (Final Four) banners hung ... our guys are excited. I told our guys they have it seated for 75,000 (fans), and there won’t be more than 45,000 at practice. No reason to be nervous. I think these type of things will get our guys fired up.”

FINAL FOUR Who: Louisville (30-9) vs. Kentucky (36-2); Kansas (31-6) vs.

Ohio State (31-7) When: Game One: 5:09 p.m. Saturday; Game Two at 7:49 p.m.

… Big Easy go Manning headed to Tulsa?

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

NEW ORLEANS — It looks as if Kansas University assistant basketball coach Danny Manning will be the next head coach at Tulsa University. But, Golden Hurricane officials and KU head coach Bill Self cautioned that, despite ESPN and CBSsports.com reports that Manning had taken the job, nothing had been finalized as of Wednesday night.

“I’ll comment: ‘Not done deal,’” Self said Wednesday.

“He’s had talks with them and interviewed. I know that he was very encouraged and excited about the prospect of it. It’s not done. It’s not done, but there are talks going on. Who knows what will happen next?”

Manning, who exited the team bus with the Jayhawk players and coaches after 8 p.m., had no comment on the published reports. KU assistants do not comment on

The vote on adopting the overtime was 30-2.

Owners also have given the replay official permission to review turnovers just as he reviews all scoring plays.

FSHS golfers unhappy with sixth

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

There is just something about playing at home that makes the slightest shortcomings seem monumental.

Such was the case for the Free State High boys golf team Wednesday at the Free State Invitational.

FSHS took sixth place with a team score of 318 at Eagle Bend Golf Course, where the Firebirds practice nearly every day. The golfers’ familiarity with the course and inability to match the scores of champion Olathe East (297), runner-up Washburn Rural (307) and third-place Blue Valley North (312) left the hosts at least mildly disgruntled.

“We were hoping for better,” said Free State coach Matt Gudenkauf, who noted Shawnee Mission East (313) finished two spots ahead of the Firebirds, even though SME brought mostly junior-varsity golfers.

Firebirds junior Wilson Hack was one of two FSHS golfers to break 80. Hack said he and his teammates were capable of finishing better than sixth and that he could have improved his 77 had he avoided a triple-bogey on the par-3 eighth hole.

Hinson CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

the university and department has enjoyed him being here so much, but his goal was always to get back on the sidelines as a head coach. What a great opportunity that Southern Illinois has presented to him.

I know there is not one guy in America that is more proud or will work harder representing Southern Illinois University the way Barry Hinson will.

“For a head coach of 11 years (two at Oral Roberts) to come in and sacrifice and do what he’s done for our program and the next thing you know, he’s a head coach overnight, I’m so excited for him,” Self added.

Hinson signed a fiveyear, nearly $1.5 million contract with a school that finished this season 8-23.

Manning CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

the statement issued by TU’s sports information office. “As stated when the coaching search began on March 11, TU officials will not discuss any candidates until an official announcement is made by the University.”

Sources told the Journal-World Manning was working with TU on possible years of the deal. Sources said he had reached out to one or more individuals about possibly working for him on his staff at Tulsa.

Self is a former head coach at Tulsa, with connections there.

“The faces have all changed. The people that back the program are still pretty consistent,” Self said. “I have ties to that situation. If Danny is the guy there, and I’m not saying he is, but he’ll get it on his own merits, no question about that.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S LOGAN HENRICHS, LEFT PHOTO, PLACED SIXTH INDIVIDUALLY, while Alex Green, right, had a round of 79 to help Free State to a sixth-place team finish at a golf invitational on Wednesday at Eagle Bend.

“There’s water off to the right, and there’s stuff on the left you don’t want to go into,” Hack said of the troublesome layout.

“It just messes with you, mentally.”

His teammate, junior Alex Green, shot a 79 and said his putting was a little off on the slow greens.

“We’re all a lot more

capable of doing better things,” he said.

Still, Free State benefited from Colin Becker, Max Soto and Lee York each posting an 81, helping the host team finish three spots and seven shots ahead of rival Lawrence (ninth, 325).

Said Gudenkauf: “The thing that I do like about

SIU has had three losing seasons in the past four.

“What we’re going to be able to accomplish is going to be spectacular,” Hinson, 50, said.

Hinson and Self said Wednesday that Hinson would only be working for KU until the end of this season.

“I’m gonna work for the University of Kansas until Monday night at 11 o’clock, if that’s OK with you,” Hinson said with a smile.

Hinson, with a 205-140 career record, replaces Chris Lowery, who went 145-116 in eight seasons with the Salukis.

Hinson was fired by Missouri State in 2008 after he failed to take that program to the NCAA Tournament in nine seasons, during which time he guided Missouri State to a 169-117 mark.

At Missouri State, Hinson had consecutive 22win seasons in 2005-06 and 2006-07, but the lack of NCAA Tournament

invitations may have cost him his job.

“I’m genuinely excited to be the head coach at a university with a great tradition in college basketball, and even more excited to be part of a community which seems so much like the place where I was raised,” said Hinson, a native of Marlow, Okla.

Leaving no doubt where his loyalties lie this weekend, he told the Journal-World: “Now let’s win the next two this weekend.”

Noted SIU AD Mario Moccia: “Barry Hinson comes from a great tradition, has an excellent record of graduating his student-athletes, winning games and is currently on staff with the University of Kansas, which will be playing in the Final Four this weekend. We are so pleased to welcome him as our new head coach.”

Hinson, was introduced as Southern Illinois’ new coach Wednesday. He hustled to New Orleans to be with the KU team about 9 p.m.

Self was asked about the timing of two of his staff members being sought by other schools.

“I’d say it’s not the best timing,” Self said. “The thing about it is, the world doesn’t stop for us. Southern Illinois needs a basketball coach. Barry Hinson will not do one thing for Southern Illinois until our season is finished. If anybody else gets a job on our staff, they will not do one thing for that respective school until our season is finished. It’s not going to be a major distraction for us. The distraction would be the day before a game.

We’ll be able to talk to our players about them. We’ll be up-front with them, and they’ll know what’s going on.”

Larry to SMU? Former KU coach Larry Brown has expressed interest in the SMU men’s basketball opening, the Dallas Morning News reports. Brown, 71, last coached the Charlotte Bobcats in 2010.

“I’m not going to be politicking for a job right now,” Brown told espn. com. “I’d like to get back involved in the game in some capacity. Whether that’s as a coach, assistant, running a team or just as a resource, I don’t care.”

this means everything because everybody was saying he couldn’t lead the team and all that. But he proved it. What he’s doing now is showing everybody that you can’t compound mistakes with other mistakes. You gotta move on. That’s what he did, and he led us on the road to the Final Four.”

our scores today is that they were all consistent.

They weren’t numbers that were way out of whack.”

Henrichs takes 6th Lions senior Logan Henrichs was the picture of consistency among city golfers at the invitational. He followed a 37 on the front nine with 38 on the back,

and a tie-breaker gave him sixth place for his round of 75 — six behind the pace of champion Travis Mays, of Blue Valley Southwest, who posted a 69.

Henrichs said the absence of wind made it easy to control the ball after he started most holes on the right track with accurate drives.

“If you get in the fairway here, it’s not the toughest approach shots up to the green,” he said.

Early on the back nine, Henrichs thought he would be able to finish with a medal-worthy score, but he didn’t want to get ahead of himself.

“I always try not to do that,” Henrichs said. “I’ve done that before, and it hasn’t turned out great.”

LHS coach Dirk Wedd marveled at Henrichs’ ability, given that he doesn’t get much offseason time to hit the links.

“He’s unbelievable.

Most of these kids have been playing in Florida or lord only knows where.

They’re hitting balls all winter,” Wedd said. “He plays basketball, and all of the sudden he goes, ‘OK, now it’s time to play golf.’

He’s a gifted athlete.”

Lions junior Brett Van Blaricum shot an 81, and junior Cole Cummins was right behind with an 83.

Free State baseball falls, 7-2 J-W Staff Reports

Free State High’s baseball team couldn’t string together enough hits Wednesday to keep up with visiting St. James Academy in a 7-2 loss.

The Firebirds only produced a pair of base hits — a two-run single from Montana Samuels in the fifth inning and a single from Lee McMahon in the sixth — but coach Mike Hill said the results didn’t represent how aggressive the team’s approach had been at the plate.

“Honestly, I wasn’t displeased at all with the way we swung the bats,” the coach said, adding that the Firebirds (0-4) kept sending the ball at St. James’ fielders when they made sound contact.

What really hurt FSHS in the make-up game, Hill added, were miscues in the top of the second, when the Thunder plated five runs.

Senior Trent Johnson started for Free State and took the loss, his third of the year, with four innings of work. He struck out two and allowed six hits.

At 5:30 tonight, FSHS will host Olathe East.

be more excited about his squad’s potential.

Defenders Charlotte Birch and Taylor Sweeney, midfielders Heidi Dumesich, Eilish Gibson, Alyson Oliver and Emily Padgett, as well as forwards Raquel Dominguez and Hannah Spomer give the Seahawks continuity and chemistry.

“Most of the girls have been together for three years,” Ivanov said, “and we are now at a point where we can actually achieve a more seamless connectivity between defense, midfield and offense.”

Seabury should benefit, too, from impact newcomers. Ivanov said midfielder Hannah Gibson, as well as goalkeepers Reilly Malone and Sarah McDermott should contribute this season.

Dominguez used to be Seabury’s goalkeeper, but after Lexi Brady, the team’s leading scorer in 2011, transferred to Free State, Ivanov moved Dominguez to forward to capitalize on her athleticism.

The coach said the players have been through much the past few years, and that has contributed to their growth.

“Win or lose, they always exhibit great work ethic and sportsmanship in practice and games,” Ivanov said, “and have never failed to make proud their families, school and community.”

Seabury lost its season opener, 1-0, Tuesday at Kansas City Christian.

Dear Annie: I’m in my mid-20s, and my sister is a junior in high school. “Tina” has always looked up to me as the “cool brother,” and we’ve become buddies. I tell her my issues at work and my troubles with women, and she tells me far more than she does the rest of our family. We’ve grown to trust each other.

Last week when the mail arrived, my mother noticed that Tina had received an envelope from the county prison. Inside was a six-page soft-porn letter from a convicted felon who used to date one of Tina’s friends.

Mom also discovered that Tina had been accepting long-distance charges on her cell phone from the prison.

My parents contacted the authorities, and the man won’t write or call her again. They’ve also grounded Tina for a month.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

I’m not that hurt by her lies of omission.

She’s just a kid, and I did some fairly stupid things at her age. But now I don’t feel like telling her anything. I’m still nice to her, and we get along like we used to, but I’ve not told her about a few things that have happened in my life recently. Is this an OK way to handle it? — Need Help in Wisconsin Dear Wisconsin: Tina’s behavior was terribly reckless. And we think you are more than a little upset that she

‘Mary Mary’ a double dose of dull So much for “don’t sweat the small stuff.” The documentarystyle series “Mary Mary” (9 p.m., WE) follows the daily routine, business and family drama of Grammy-winning sisters Erica and Tina Campbell. In addition to several gospel hits, the duo has won BET Awards, American Music Awards, a Soul Train Award and an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Gospel Artist.

So you’d think this show would be about music. And you’d be wrong. This is reality television, where the focus is petty drama — with an emphasis on “petty.”

Instead of hearing many soaring performances, we’re asked to invest our time and emotions in matters of hair, makeup and wardrobe.

The prospect that a particular dress might not arrive in time for a performance is treated like the wait for a heart transplant. Mary Mary’s manager, Mitchell, spends much of the show looking nervous. ‘‘Mary Mary” is timed to promote the duo’s new single, “Go Get It.” In mining tension from minutiae, unscripted reality shows like “Mary Mary” make the performers seem far less affecting than their music. The medium diminishes the message. “Mary Mary” is boring boring.

Tonight’s other highlights

One minus nine on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

Becca’s best friend, Mary (Aunjanue Ellis), arrives and gums up the works on “Missing” (7 p.m., ABC).

Liz tries to shake her habits on “30 Rock” (7:30 p.m., NBC).

A new subject leads two lives on “Person of Interest” (8 p.m., CBS).

A homeless man appears to share Jake’s gift on “Touch” (8 p.m., Fox).

A desert hides murder evidence on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS).

Britten’s methods fall under scrutiny on “Awake” (9 p.m., NBC).

“Independent Lens” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) looks at life with Alzheimer’s in the film “You’re Looking at Me Like I Live Here and I Don’t.”

didn’t confide any of this to you and give her big brother the chance to protect her. You don’t have to tell Tina everything. There are things she may be too young to appreciate. But please try to cultivate the closeness you had before, and let her know you wish she had told you about her correspondence with the inmate. You are in an excellent position to be a positive influence in her life.

Dear Annie: “Upstate N.Y. Dad” said that the baby sitter took his children on an unauthorized drive to the ice cream store. I agree that she was extremely irresponsible, but your response that the girl “showed terrible judgment, but that is not unusual for a 17-year-old” was a slap in the face for teenagers like me.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, March 29: This year you swing from emotional to intellectual and back again.

If you think this constant change of feelings is hard on you, imagine how those who deal with you feel! If you are single, you might think you want to settle down, but your feelings could rapidly change. If you are attached, share your feelings more often.

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) Integrate different ideas as you put plans together. Whether they are for a vacation or work makes no difference. Tonight: Head home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You have the ability to make a big difference emotionally, financially and intellectually. Where you point your radar is your call, but your efforts do pay off. Tonight: Hang out.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Listen to what is being shared. A key person is determined to have you absorb the meaning behind his or her words. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Don’t worry if you do not feel up to snuff. Your energy will build during the day. Tonight: Act like you are feeling your Wheaties.

Count on high energy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Use the daylight hours to the max. You might ponder something too long and lose a winning proposition. Tonight: Slow down and center yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others want you to take

ty. I organize a program in which musicians from my school go to various retirement centers and play for the elderly. I tutor every Wednesday. I bring home straight A’s and do not drink, party or smoke.

That girl wasn’t irresponsible because she was 17. She’s irresponsible because she was raised by a parent who has no dignity or honesty. — A Disappointed 15-Year-Old Girl Dear Disappointed: Brava. We did not mean to give the impression that all teenagers are irresponsible — only that the maturity to properly judge a situation takes time to develop. Obviously, you are already there. Thanks for sticking up for your peers.

a stand, but you might not be ready or want to. By late afternoon, focus on your desires and long-term goals.

You will know what to do. Tonight: Now the fun begins.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Look at what is going on around you, especially in your personal life. You also are changing within. Note what you are feeling.

Tonight: At home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep reaching out for someone you really care about. You also need to get more information about a project or key interest. Tonight: Explore and discuss opportunities.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others share their thoughts and feelings. In a sense, you might feel as if you are getting too much information. Tonight: Say “yes” to living well.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Finish a project before you decide to relax. You will need to insulate yourself from talks and confusion in general. Tonight: Let it all happen.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pace yourself, and honor a need to get a lot done in a small period of time. Fortunately, your creativity is high. Tonight: Feeling tired.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Your concerns involve your immediate circle and your friends. You might need to do something very differently from in the past. Tonight: Start the weekend early.
