The Lawrence school district’s $92.5 million bond issue proposal passed easily Tuesday, with an overwhelming level of voter approval that surprised a few supporters. “I thought we had a good shot, but I’ve been cautiously optimistic,� Superintendent Rick Doll said at an election watch party in downtown Lawrence as the results came in. “But we did plan, and I think people recognized that it was a good plan.�

With 84 out of 86 precincts r e p o r t i n g SCHOOLS Tuesday night, unofficial results showed the bond proposal sailing to passage, with 72 percent of the vote.

About $80 million of that money is earmarked for upgrades and renovations to the district’s 14 elementary schools and two high schools.

Most of that will focus on six older schools in central and East Lawrence: Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill.

Another $6.5 million will go for upgrading technology throughout the district, while $5.7 million is earmarked for expanding career and technical education programs offered at the district’s Holcom Center.

Incumbent Byers loses seat on school board

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Voters in the Lawrence school district re-elected Vanessa Sanburn to another term and chose two political newcomers, Adina Morse and Kristie Adair, to serve for the next four years.

That left incumbent Bob Byers as the odd man out in the four-way race. “It is what it is,� Byers said with a shrug as the election results were reported Tuesday night, along with

approval of a $92.5 million school bond issue. “Basically, there wasn’t a topic to separate us. The only issue that could have separated us would have been around the bond, and we all agreed.�

In fact, the four candidates were so similar in their positions on most issues that there was also little difference in their vote totals.

Although Byers, the board’s only African-American, finished in fourth place in the three-way race, Please see BOARD, page 2A

have said the bonds will be issued in phases over the next three years, at the same time the district retires old bonds, so that the new bonds will not result in an increase in the property tax levy for debt service payments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a statement about how much the people of Lawrence care about their schools and making sure that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have first-class facilities so that our children can have the best learning opportunities available,â&#x20AC;? said Kansas House Democratic Leader Paul Davis, who co-chaired the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes for Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;? committee that campaigned for the bond issue.

Despite the size of the bond issue, there was little organized opposition to it during the campaign.

Meanwhile, all four candidates running for seats on the school board endorsed it, as did the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

School board candidate Kristie Adair said she was not surprised by the margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking to understands

that we need to support our community, and the basis of any good community is its schools.â&#x20AC;? Adair said.

Doll said district officials will begin work quickly to hire architects and a project manager to finalize the designs and specifications for all of the projects, as well as setting a schedule for the projects.

Doll said construction projects at some of the elementary schools will be so extensive that those buildings may have to close temporarily, with students moved to other locations until the work is completed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know yet, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a possibility,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where our buildings need significant remodeling, there will be portions of the buildings for sure where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to get kids out. Now, whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in mobile units on site or off site, those are decisions weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to make later.â&#x20AC;?

Doll said construction and remodeling at the six older schools is expected to take at least a year.

Voter turnout hits 16 percent

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A $92.5 million school bond proposal was worth a few extra voters at the polls on Tuesday.

Voter turnout for the general election checked in at 16.3 percent, up from about 13 percent during the city and school board election of 2011, which did not feature a major bond issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The school bond issue definitely was on my mind today,â&#x20AC;? said Heidi Benham, who was voting at the American Legion near Sixth and Kasold on Tuesday afternoon.

The bond issue was overwhelmingly approved by voters, earning 72 percent of the ballots cast.

Several voters said they worried about future cuts in education funding at the state level, and wanted to come out and vote for the bond issue to help pay for improvements to Lawrence schools.

But voters cited other issues, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came out to vote against the PAC candidates,â&#x20AC;? said Stacey Van

The unofficial election results are in. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a roundup of area races outside of Lawrence.

Baldwin City

Marilyn Pearse appears to have edged out Jason Mock in the Baldwin City mayoral race, receiving 235 votes to Mockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 222 votes. Bonnie Plumberg finished third in the race with 99 votes.

Katheryn Gerstner and Christi Darnell earned at-large seats on the Baldwin City Council. Gerstner received 408 votes, Darnell received 329 votes and Michael Paulick was third with 161 votes.

Gregory Kruger defeated Toby Ebel for the District 1 position on the Baldwin school board.

Kruger received 414 votes to Ebelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 275 votes. Sheryl Gill and Nicole Tiller also earned school board positions, running unopposed.

Eudora

Jolene Born and Tim Reazin won seats on the Eudora City Commission.

Born and Reazin were a part of a group of four competing for two seats.

Born received 204 votes; Reazin, 184; Scott Hopson, 162; and Jerry W. Trober Sr., 79 votes.

Incumbents Eric Votaw, Joseph Hurla and Michael Kelso retained their positions on the Eudora school board. The three were the top vote earners in a group of four. Vote totals: Votaw 325, Hurla 258, Kelso 239, Bryan Maring 199.

Wellsville school board

Ron Bloss, Clyde Coons and Juanita Peckham all retained their positions on the Wellsville school board. All three ran unopposed.

Shawnee Heights school board

The race for Position 5 on the Shawnee Heights school board was too close to call early this morning.

Votes totaled from Douglas and Shawnee Counties had Jason Schulz and James Zimmerman tied at 381 votes apiece.

Gene Edwards led Kevin McGinnis by nine votes for Position 4 on the Shawnee Heights school board. Edwards received 444 votes and McGinnis received 435 votes.

Russell E. Doty won Position 6 in the school board race, defeating Shawn Maisberger and Richard A. Mills.

Santa Fe Trail school board

Amy Croat defeated Mark VanCamp, 654 votes to 354 votes, to win a seat on the Santa Fe Trail school board. Michele Ferris, Zachary Anshutz, Randy Boudeman also earned seats, running unopposed.

He said the size and scope of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed $25 million recreation center also was on his mind, but he thought that issue largely had been decided by the current commission.

Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew reported no problems with Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election, in which final votes were counted by about 9 p.m.

Shew said Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election seemed to continue a trend in which more voters are choosing to vote in advance. About 12 percent of the ballots in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election were cast prior to Election Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More commuters are starting to vote in advance so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about getting here on time on a Tuesday,â&#x20AC;?

rence pediatrics practice, ran in fourth place for much of the evening, while Soden lingered in second or third place.

But as the last wave of West Lawrence votes were counted at the courthouse, Riordan surged ahead to grab the third and final spot on the commission. In fact, Riordan said he came to the courthouse a little after 9 p.m. to congratulate Soden on her victory, only to learn that he had won. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent a lot of time on the westside, and that paid off,â&#x20AC;? Riordan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do as well on the eastside, I really do believe in one Lawrence. I want the eastside to do as well as the westside, and that is how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always approach it.â&#x20AC;?

Both Amyx and Farmer will receive four-year terms on the commission. Riordan will receive a two-year term. The trio will begin their terms at next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commission meeting.

Soden, a former East Lawrence Neighborhood Association president, would have been the first sixth-place primary finisher in recent memory to come back to win a seat on the commission. She also was the candidate who spent the least on the campaign, yet she came within a whisker of victory.

Soden said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convinced her strong opposition to the proposed $25 million recreation center

With 84 of 86 precincts reporting late Tuesday night, unofficial results showed Sanburn with 5,387 votes, followed by Morse with 5,180, Adair with 4,847 and Byers with 4,579. Sanburn, Morse and Adair will begin their new terms July 1.

Van Houten said. The PACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effect was mixed, at best: Farmer and Riordan were elected to the City Commission â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Chestnut, a former Commissioner, finished last in the race.

LAWRENCE SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATE KRISTIE ADAIR talks with people gathered at a watch party for the school bond issue in the Alton Ballroom at Pachamamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Adair won one of three seats on the school board. narrowly edged out Byers for the third seat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were all sort of fighting for the same goal, so it was hard to tell one candidate from another.â&#x20AC;?

The closeness of the school board race stood in sharp contrast to the overwhelming margin of victory for the bond issue. Unofficial results

played a large role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the biggest issue voters wanted to talk to me about by far,â&#x20AC;? Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope the new city commissioners pay attention to that.â&#x20AC;?

Riordan said he agreed the recreation center issue was important to voters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe it is an indication that the citizens are not happy about some aspects of the center,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like it to not be so expensive.â&#x20AC;?

But Riordan said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to lobby the commission to make any changes to plans for the 181,000-square-foot center slated for northwest Lawrence. The City Commission already has agreed to open bids on the project in mid-May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be good for Lawrence to try to change horses in midstream on this,â&#x20AC;? Riordan said.

The top vote winner, Amyx, a downtown barber shop owner, also spoke out against the recreation center during the campaign and had been the lone commissioner to vote against the project. Amyx was in first place the entire evening Tuesday, and beat second-place finisher Farmer by more than 1,700 votes.

Amyx, who won his fifth term on the commission, said he believed his experience played a key role in the results but added that voters also appreciated his stand on the

issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, the question of the recreation center was important in this campaign,â&#x20AC;? Amyx said.

Bringing the community together on controversial issues is what Farmer, the executive director of local food bank Just Food, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend a lot of time on as a commissioner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am convinced that deep down this community wants something more than division,â&#x20AC;? Farmer said.

Farmer said he ran a campaign that tried to highlight that the community needs to get past traditional divisions such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;builders versus nonbuilders, neighborhood people versus non-neighborhood people.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the last-minute twist, the top three finishers were unchanged from Februaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lightly attended primary election. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election had a turnout of 16.3 percent. The City Commission field also included Scott Criqui, a local human resources executive who finished fifth; and former City Commissioner Rob Chestnut, who fell to sixth place after finishing fourth in the primary.

County to pick manager for construction project

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Douglas County commissioners will be asked today to select a construction manager to supervise bidding and contracting for a new facility to house the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Works Department.

County officials are recommending McCown Gordon, a firm based in Kansas City, Mo., to manage the project. That firm was chosen from a short list of five firms that were invited to submit formal proposals.

Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky said the firm has done other public building projects in Doug-

las County, most notably the Bioscience and Technology and Business Center at Kansas University.

The construction manager would be responsible for virtually all aspects of the building project, from writing design specifications and bid documents to hiring subcontractors, supervising the work and making sure it stays within the overall project budget.

During the preconstruction phase of the project, McCown Gordon would be paid $22,500 to prepare the designs and make formal cost estimates.

At that point, if commissioners agree to go forward,

The project calls for building a new facility on property the county purchased next to the jail on S.E. 25th Street. The new facility would house under one roof all of the Public Works Department, which is now split

between two facilities.

County officials have said they expect the project to cost upwards of $8 million to $11 million, to be funded with new general obligation bonds.

Also today, commissioners will hear a report from planning and development staff about certain construction codes that need to be amended in light of the adoption of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new agritourism land use regulations.

Commissioners will meet at 4 p.m. today in the County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259. Follow him at Twitter.com/LJWpqhancock.

The new facility would house under one roof all of the Public Works Department, which is now split between two facilities.

Iowa Street motorists canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have all the fun this summer.

Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday ensured that there will be plenty of construction on portions of Bob Billings Parkway and Wakarusa Drive as well.

Commissioners agreed to go out for bid on an estimated $1.2 million partial rebuilding of Bob Billings Parkway and a $1 million rebuilding of a small portion of Wakarusa Drive. Both roads were suffering from failing pavement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody can see the condiCITY tion of those roads,â&#x20AC;? said Chuck COMMISSION Soules, director of public works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something had to be done this year, or else we are just going to have a mess.â&#x20AC;?

The two road projects are in addition to a major rebuilding of Iowa Street from Yale Road to the Irving Hill Overpass, which has portions of Iowa Street reduced to one lane in each direction.

Details of the two latest projects include:

Wakarusa Drive will be rebuilt from Research Parkway Drive to Oread West Drive.

The project will include removing the existing pavement and replacing it with a 10-inch concrete driving surface. The road also will be widened to allow for a left-turn lane and a bike lane on each side of the street. A new six-foot wide sidewalk also will be added on both sides of the street.

The eastbound lanes of Bob Billings Parkway between Kasold and Crestline drives will be replaced. The section of Bob Billings Parkway between Crestline and Iowa Street will have its eastbound and westbound lanes reconstructed. Left-turn lanes will be constructed in the medians throughout the project. A 10-foot wide walking and biking path will be constructed on the south side of Bob

BRIEFLY Debate duo stopped short in prelims The Kansas University team in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Debate Tournament tallied a 4-4 record in the competitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary rounds, falling just short of reaching the elimination portion.

But another Kansas team won the tournament championship in the early morning hours KANSAS Tuesday: a UNIVERSITY duo from Emporia State University.

KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, senior Melanie Campbell and sophomore Amanda Gress, sat at 4-1 after its first five preliminary matches, needing one more to advance.

But they lost their final three debates, each in a split decision by the judges, while facing a tough slate of competitors, KU debate coach Scott Harris said.

Their exit ended a streak of 10 consecutive years that at least one KU duo has reached the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sweet 16. But both Campbell and Gress will return to debate again next year.

The Emporia State team, Ryan Wash and Elijah Smith, became the first duo to win an NDT title and the championship in another national tournament, sponsored by the Cross Examination Debate Association. They won the CEDA contest last month.

Wash and Smith are also the first team of two black students to win the NDT championship.

DUI bill passes in Kansas Legislature A bill that would strengthen penalties against drunken drivers was passed unanimously in the Kansas House and Senate last month.

The bill, advocated by Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, would allow prosecutors to charge drunken drivers with aggravated battery in injury accidents.

A previous Supreme Court rule required additional evidence of reckless behavior in order to file battery charges in drunken driving cases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hopeful that this will close yet one more loophole in our DUI laws so that we may prosecute those drivers that ignore the dangers of driving under the influence and injure someone,â&#x20AC;? Branson said.

The Supreme Court rule prevented Bransonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office from filing other charges against Kansas University student Julian Kuszmaul, 22, following an Aug. 26 accident in which Kuszmaulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle hit KU student Colby Liston, who lost both legs. Kuszmaul had a bloodalcohol level three times the legal limit at the time of the incident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this law had been in place a year sooner, it would have definitely been utilized in the Liston matter,â&#x20AC;? Branson said.

The bill passed in the House 124-0, and 40-0 in the Senate, and will now head to Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

and should be mailed to Holcom Park Recreation Center, 2700 W. 27th St., Lawrence 66047.

Bill approved barring local wage rules TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas Senate has approved a bill barring cities and counties from requiring their contractors to pay union-scale wages.

The 31-9 vote Tuesday sends the measure to the House.

The bill would bar local governments from requiring private firms to pay employees more than the federal minimum wage for work on public contracts.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aimed at local policies requiring contractors to pay so-called prevailing wages. The federal Department of Labor sets those rates, and critics say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re often based on union scales.

Wyandotte County has a prevailing wage policy.

Republicans said the bill will reduce the cost of MARK ELLIOTT, LAWRENCE, does some touch-up painting Tuesday at 1022 Connecticut St. public projects and argue that the market ought to set wages.

Wichita abortion clinic to open City this week despite opposition

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

WICHITA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new clinic has begun taking appointments and is expected to open within days in the building of abortion provider George Tiller nearly four years after he was gunned down.

The South Wind Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center will offer comprehensive womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care services, including abortions up to 14 weeks.

The new clinic is owned

by Trust Women Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded in 2010 by Julie Burkhart, who worked with Tiller for seven years.

The foundation bought the property from Tillerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife in August. Burkhart said it has cost about $700,000 to purchase the clinic and get it up and running.

Burkhart said the clinic will open when last-minute details are worked out sometime this week.

Three doctors will work on a rotating basis at the clinic.

The Kansas City Star reported that abortion opponents are vowing to force the clinic to close.

Burkhart says security will be heightened at the

KASS also said that just 13 percent of the Kansas winter wheat crop has jointed. That compares with 57 percent at the same time last year and a long-term average of 22 percent.

Even if all the snow melted straight into the ground, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break the drought. A foot of snow equals roughly an inch of rain, and parts of the Plains remained nearly 20 inches short of precipitation, even after the storms.

The drought that settled over much of the middle of the country last spring hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let up. Big portions of Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas still are in exceptional or extreme drought, the most severe classifications listed by the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Billings Parkway between Kasold Drive and Iowa Street.

The Bob Billings Parkway project will require traffic on Bob Billings to be limited to one lane in each direction from Crossgate to Kasold during construction. The portion between Crossgate and Iowa will be closed to through traffic during construction.

The Wakarusa Drive project has a more complicated traffic plan. From late May to mid-July, the portion of Wakarusa Drive immediately south of Bob Billings Parkway will be closed to traffic. Once that section is completed, the portion of Wakarusa just north of Bob Billings Parkway will be closed. The Bob Billings intersection will remain open to north-south traffic throughout.

City commissioners were told special signs will be put up along the route directing motorists to businesses affected by the traffic. No one from the public spoke against either project at Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, although city officials have heard from some of the affected businesses earlier in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re committed to trying to get this done as quickly as possible,â&#x20AC;? Soules told commissioners.

The city is set to receive bids on the projects in mid-April. Most construction wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin until after Kansas University finishes its spring semester.

Work is expected to be completed by late August.

Mo. lawmakers debate tax cut, keep focus on neighbor Kansas JEFFERSON CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With Kansas as the reference point, Missouri business groups urged lawmakers to cut income taxes Tuesday while education officials expressed fears that reduced revenues could result in school funding cuts.

The testimony before a House committee came as a nonprofit group began running ads against Missouri legislation that would cut individual and corporate income taxes by three-quarters of a percentage point over the next five years while gradually raising the state sales tax by a half cent. Though less sweeping than a Kansas tax cut that took effect this year, the Missouri proposal has been touted as a way to keep pace â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at least not fall too far behind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western neighbor in an ongoing border battle for businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas is specifically targeting Missouri businesses,â&#x20AC;? sponsoring Sen. Will Kraus, R-Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summit, told the House Ways and Means Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe if we do nothing, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose Missouri businesses.â&#x20AC;?

The Senate already has passed the bill, which is projected by legislative researchers to reduce Missouri revenues by between $477 million and $670 million annually when fully implemented.

The Missouri Budget Project, a St. Louis-based nonprofit which analyzes state financial issues, has put the eventual cost of the legislation at $960 million annually. The group has begun running a radio ad against the legislation, marking the first time in its 10-year history that it has done so. The ad suggests the tax cut could hurt funding for important

services such as schools.

That concern was echoed during testimony Tuesday by the superintendent of the Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summit School District and lobbyists representing at least five organizations for teachers and school administrators.

Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public school districts get about $3 billion annually in basic state aid and would get an additional $65 million next year under a budget plan passed by the House.

But that still would fall about $620 million short of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called for under a 2005 school funding law.

Cutting tax revenues only would make it more difficult for Missouri to catch up to its school funding targets, said Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summit schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; superintendent David McGehee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why in the world would Missouri want to make the same mistakes as Kansas? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not race them to the edge of a selfinflicted fiscal cliff,â&#x20AC;? McGehee said.

A Kansas law that kicked in this year reduced individual income taxes and waived all income taxes for almost 200,000 businesses whose earnings are reported on individual income tax forms. Kansas lawmakers are now working to close a budget gap, and Gov. Sam Brownback has proposed to keep the state sales tax at 6.3 percent rather than letting it drop to 5.7 percent as scheduled in July.

The Missouri proposal would stop short of the Kansas law by gradually exempting just half the business income that gets reported on individual income taxes. Even with a half-cent increase, Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales tax would remain lower than all of its neighboring states except Oklahoma.

Drug testing bill goes to governor Measure to lure ————

Measure for welfare, unemployment applicants not certain to be signed

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas residents applying for welfare or unemployment benefits would have to submit to drug tests under legislation that won final legislative approval on Tuesday, though Gov. Sam Brownback has yet to say whether he plans to sign it.

The bill would require the Department of Children and Family Services to screen individuals for illegal drug use when they apply for unemployment or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, or TANF, benefits. For anyone who tests positive for drugs, the state would provide mandatory drug treatment and job skills training funded by TANF or Medicaid.

Providing that drug treatment would cost between $2,200 and $6,300 per person, according to estimates provided during Senate debate on the bill in February. The legislation also requires that elected officials and some state employees undergo drug testing if there were a reasonable suspicion about their behavior.

Senate Vice President Jeff King, the bill’s primary sponsor, said the measure strikes a balance between being good stewards with public resources and trying to help people suffering from substance abuse kick their habits and lead productive lives.

“Of all the drug testing bills in the nation, this is one of the most focused on giving people an op-

KANSAS SENATE MAJORITY LEADER TERRY BRUCE, a Hutchinson Republican, reviews the Legislature’s rules as senators debate a bill mandating drug testing for some welfare recipients and cutting off unemployment benefits for jobless workers who fail drug tests on Tuesday at the Statehouse. Senators agreed to accept House changes to a version of the bill they passed earlier, sending the measure to Gov. Sam Brownback. portunity to improve their lives and to see that their children are taken care of,” said King, an Independence Republican.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley said though the bill has provisions for treatment and job skills training it still perpetuates the view that poor residents on state assistance are drug abusers.

“We’ll see how it works, but it singles out a segment of society and stereotypes those people as drug users,” said Hensley, a Topeka Democrat. “I still think if it applies to these individuals who receive public funds, then it should also apply to CEOs

of companies who receive economic incentives from government.”

A spokeswoman for Brownback said the governor hadn’t reviewed the bill or decided whether he would sign it into law. The bill is expected to be put before the governor in the next two weeks for his signature. The Senate voted 29-9 on Tuesday to accept changes made to the bill by the House last week.

The TANF program provided about $42 million in benefits for about 32,000 Kansas adults and children during fiscal 2012, which ended in June.

The bill also would require the Department of

Administration to establish a drug screening program based on reasonable suspicion of illegal drug use for legislators, the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and certain public safety officials.

The rules also would cover state mental health positions, along with employees at the Kansas School for the Blind, Kansas School for the Deaf and state veterans agencies. It also covers all state law enforcement authorized to carry weapons, corrections officers, parole officers and heads of state agencies appointed by the governor.

new casino fails

TOPEKA (AP) — An attempt to bring a stateowned casino to southeast Kansas failed Tuesday evening when the state Senate rejected a deal to help such a project but also kill off any possibility of slot machines at dog and horse tracks.

Senators voted 24-15 against a bill rewriting a 2007 state law authorizing both state-owned casinos and slots at dog and horse racing tracks. Under the law, the Kansas Lottery owns the rights to the new gambling and claims part of the profits, while leaving day-to-day management in the hands of private developers and track owners.

State-owned casinos are operating in Dodge City and Kansas City, Kan., and south of Wichita. But track owners contend the law didn’t make slot machines lucrative enough for them to install, and the lottery doesn’t have a potential developer for a casino in the Pittsburg area.

The law requires the developer of a southeast Kansas casino to invest at least $225 million, plus pay a $25 million fee to the state, and backers of a project argue both figures are too high. The bill would have dropped the investment requirement to $50 million and reset the state fee at $5.5 million.

Southeast Kansas legislators have tried unsuccessfully in recent years to rewrite the gambling law, and this year casino backers forged an unusual alliance with gambling opponents. The resulting bill would have repealed

Anti-abortion bill expected to win final approval this week

governor is a strong abortion opponent. Brownback has signed anti-abortion measures into law since taking office in January 2011.

Threat perceived This year’s legislation is less restrictive than a new North Dakota law that bans abortions as early as the sixth week of pregnancy or a new Arkansas law prohibiting most abortions after the 12th week.

But abortion-rights advocates still view the Kansas measure as a major threat to abortion access.

Both chambers rejected proposals to add specific exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest to all of the state’s abortion restrictions, and senators refused to add language supplementing existing legal protections for access to birth control.

Rep. Barbara Bollier, a Mission Hills Republican who supports abortion rights, said the bill not only injects abortion politics into tax policy but invades women’s privacy. Also, she said, it would create a hostile environment that discourages health care providers from performing even a few abortions in medical

‘Meaningful step’ Abortion opponents see such criticism as overheated but also believe the measure would continue a trend in which the state has seen abortions decline 37 percent during the past decade. Kansans for Life, the most influential anti-abortion group at the Statehouse, has urged legislators to avoid headlinegrabbing initiatives likely to face court challenges in favor of incremental changes.

“I would call it a small but meaningful step forward,” Kinzer said.

The provisions dealing with tax breaks are designed to prevent the state from subsidizing abortions even indirectly.

For example, an abortion provider could not claim the same exemption from the state sales tax on what it purchases that other health care providers receive.

Kinzer said he doubts providers claim many of the tax breaks that would be denied to them under the bill. He also acknowledged he doesn’t know of any recent examples of abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood being invited by public schools to participate in sex education classes.

But he said enacting restrictions in law would at least prevent such situations in the future.

TOPEKA — The Kansas Senate approved new restrictions for abortion providers Tuesday, moving the state’s mostsweeping legislation on the issue this year close to final passage.

The vote was 29-11 on a measure blocking tax breaks for abortion providers and prohibiting them from furnishing materials or instructors for sex education classes in public schools. The measure also would prevent abortion patients from including abortion costs when deducting medical expenses on their state income taxes.

The bill spells out in greater detail what information doctors must provide to patients before performing abortions, including information about abortion and breast cancer. Scientists convened by the National Cancer Institute in 2003 concluded abortion did not raise the risk of breast cancer, but abortion opponents point to evidence that carrying a fetus to term can lessen the risk.

The measure also declares life begins “at fertilization” and that “unborn children” have interests “that should be protected.”

The House approved the legislation last month.

Senators made technical changes, and House members must review the revisions before the measure can go to Gov. Sam Brownback. But supporters of the bill expect the House’s review to be a formality and the bill to win final legislative approval this week.

“I don’t have any immediate concerns about it,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lance Kinzer, an Olathe Republican and a leader among anti-abortion lawmakers.

Both chambers have solid anti-abortion majorities, and the Republican

authorization for slots at Wichita Greyhound Park; Camptown Greyhound Park, north of Pittsburg; and The Woodlands dog and horse racing park in Kansas City, Kan. All three have been closed since 2008.

“What we have now is a very delicate compromise,” Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican who supported the measure, told her colleagues.

The state identified a developer in 2008 for a casino in the southeast corner of Cherokee County, along the Oklahoma line, but the company dropped its plans after the Quapaw tribe opened a casino just across the state line. The tribal casino has since stymied interest in a Kansas casino, at least one requiring a $225 million investment.

But the bill faced strong opposition from horse owners, breeders and trainers who, like their counterparts in dog racing, would get just a little of the profit from slots at the tracks. They handed out fliers outside the Senate chamber saying, “Don’t Kill Kansas Horse Racing.”

“It was the death nail in our coffin if they’d have passed it,” said Jeff Rutland, a horse owner, breeder and trainer from Independence.

The 2007 gambling law capped track owners’ share of slots revenues at 40 percent. And they’ve said that percentage, following the Great Recession, isn’t big enough to make slots profitable.

North Korea vows to restart nuclear facilities

By Foster Klug and Hyung-Jin Kim Associated Press

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Korea said Tuesday it will restart its long-shuttered plutonium reactor and increase production of nuclear weapons material, in what outsiders see as its latest attempt to extract U.S. concessions by raising fears of war.

A spokesman for the Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Department of Atomic Energy said scientists will quickly begin â&#x20AC;&#x153;readjusting and restartingâ&#x20AC;? the facilities at its main Nyongbyon nuclear complex, including the plutonium reactor and a uranium enrichment plant. Both could produce fuel for nuclear weapons.

The reactor began operations in 1986 but was shut down as part of international nuclear disarmament talks in 2007 that have since stalled.

North Korea said work to restart the facilities would begin â&#x20AC;&#x153;without delay.â&#x20AC;? Experts estimate it could take anywhere from three months to a year to reactivate the re-

SOUTH KOREAN MARINES take part in a military exercise in Paju, which is near the border of the two Koreas. North Korea said on Tuesday that it will restart a nuclear reactor that can make one bombâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of plutonium a year. actor.

The nuclear vows and a rising tide of threats in recent weeks are seen as efforts by the North to force disarmament-foraid talks with Washington and to increase domestic loyalty to young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by portraying him as a powerful military commander.

Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement underscores concerns about North Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timetable for building a nuclear-tipped missile that can reach the United States, although it is still believed to be

years away from developing that technology.

The U.S. called for North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions, saying it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely alarmingâ&#x20AC;? if Pyongyang follows through on a vow to restart its plutonium reactor.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said the U.S. is taking steps to ensure it has the capacity to defend itself and its allies, and that President Barack Obama is being updated regularly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entire national security team is focused on it,â&#x20AC;?

Carney said.

But Carney noted that a string of threats from North Korea toward the U.S. and South Korea so far have not been backed up by action, calling the threats part of a counterproductive pattern.

He called on Russia and China, two countries he said have influence on North Korea, to use that influence to persuade the North to change course.

The Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising rhetoric has been met by a display of U.S. military strength, including flights of nuclear-capable bombers and stealth jets at annual South Korean-U.S. military drills that the allies call routine but that North Korea claims are invasion preparations.

South Koreans are familiar with provocations from the North, but its rhetoric over the last few weeks has raised worries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a serious concern for me,â&#x20AC;? said Heo Jeong-ja, 70, a cleaning lady in Seoul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The country has to stay calm, but North Korea threatens us every day.â&#x20AC;?

Napolitano taps 7 colleges for crisis prep program

By Kathy Matheson Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Seven universities will participate in a national preparedness initiative designed to help campuses train for, respond to and recover from emergencies, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Tuesday.

Napolitano made the announcement in Philadelphia at Drexel University, which is among the schools chosen for the Campus Resilience Pilot Program. The effort seeks to help colleges develop and share best practices for responding to threats,

violence or natural disasters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we know from experience, a crisis on campus can happen without notice,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an active shooter situation, a major disaster such as a hurricane or earthquake, or some other hazard that endangers lives.â&#x20AC;?

The initiative is part of the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to reduce gun violence, she noted. Her announcement comes two weeks before the sixth anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre, in which a student fatally shot 32 people before killing himself.

Napolitano wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t specify how much the program will cost, saying only that the department is redeploying resources to pay for it.

The other six schools are Eastern Connecticut State University; Green River Community College in Auburn, Wash.; Navajo Technical College in Crownpoint, N.M.; Texas A&M University; Tougaloo College in Jackson, Miss.; and the University of San Francisco.

The initiative will entail school administrators, students and community members working with homeland

security and emergency management officials to assess campus safety, develop crisis plans and train responders. The strategies will be shared with colleges across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it by itself, campuses canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it by themselves,â&#x20AC;? Napolitano said.

Institutions chosen for the program range from urban to rural, public to private, and large to small. Some university officials said Tuesday that they were only recently notified of their selection, and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet sure what form their participation will take.

CARS JAM THE PARKING LOT as shoppers leave Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gun Center with their purchases in Newington, Conn., on Tuesday. Customers were packing gun stores around Connecticut following the unveiling of new gun-control legislation, which could take effect as soon as this evening.

Customers swarm Conn. gun stores

By Susan Haigh Associated Press

NEWINGTON, CONN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Customers packed gun stores around Connecticut on Tuesday ahead of a vote expected to bring sweeping changes to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gun control laws, including a ban on the sale of large-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the Newtown shooting and a new classification for more than 100 types of guns as banned assault weapons.

Lawmakers have touted the legislation expected to pass the General Assembly today as the toughest in the country. Some measures would take effect right away, including the expansion of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assault weapons ban, universal background checks for all firearms sales, and a ban on the sale or purchase of ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The bill also ad-

dresses mental health and school security measures in response to the massacre.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a Democrat, supports the bill and could sign it into law as soon as tonight.

In a state with a rich history of gun manufacturing, some companies said they feel the legislation made them into scapegoats for the deaths of 20 first-graders and six educators in the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. At least one ammunition magazine maker is more seriously considering offers to leave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My home is in Connecticut, but at this point, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I can operate here legally come Wednesday afternoon,â&#x20AC;? said Jonathan Scalise, owner of Ammunition Storage Components in New Britain. He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear to him whether employees in possession of banned firearms or ammunition would be breaking the law.

Welcome back Bringing Kansas Relays event to downtown Lawrence is a popular and fun interaction between KU and the community.

L

ocal sports fans needing something to look forward to now that the Kansas University basketball season is officially over won’t have long to wait.

Two signature events from the Kansas Relays again will move to downtown Lawrence on April 17 and 18. While most events still are held at Memorial Stadium, this is the third year the shot put competition will be set up on Eighth Street between New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The event is expected to attract 10 world-class shot putters, and spectators will be able to enjoy an entertainment zone, complete with beer sales, at the location.

The next night the women’s long jump competition will be set up in the 100 block of West Eighth Street. Eight to 10 top jumpers are expected for the event, which will have similar entertainment opportunities for spectators. A special local attraction at this competition is expected to be KU’s Andrea Geubelle, who recently was crowned NCAA indoor national champion in her event.

Both events require quite a bit of preevent preparation, which means streets and a couple of intersections must be closed for much of a day, but the activities have been popular with spectators and drawn large crowds. Setting up the venues for shot put and long jump events in downtown Lawrence may not be as novel as it was a few years ago, but it’s still a fun way to spend a spring evening.

This is a great interaction between KU and the city that acts as its host. We hope it’s a tradition that won’t be lost once KU moves its track and field facilities to the west side of town.

Great job A group of KU student musicians have found a place in the New York spotlight.

Contractors are real winners in war Two weeks ago, on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq war, I wrote a column that laid out the losers in the conflict. I argued there were still no clear winners.

struction workers, launderers, cooks and drivers. They amounted to a second private army that was larger than the U.S. military force in Iraq.

This was a setup designed (intentionally or not) for favoritism and fraud.

Perhaps the biggest beneficiary of the contract largesse, as you may recall, was Kellogg Brown & Root, or KBR, then a subsidiary of Halliburton Co. — whose CEO from 1995 to 2000 was Dick Cheney. KBR received huge, no-bid government contracts and reaped tens of billions of dollars for its Iraq work. A highly placed Pentagon procurement officer who tried to blow the whistle on some KBR contracts was drummed out of her job in 2005. In 2009, Halliburton agreed to pay $559 million to the U.S. government to settle corruption charges linked to KBR. SIGIR has documented scores of egregious scams, including one that featured a Kuwait-based U.S. contractor who reaped millions by bribing corrupt American military officers to give him contracts. The agency estimates that at least $8 billion of $60 billion spent on Iraq reconstruction was “wasted.”

I’d guess the number is probably much higher.

Problem was obvious The most frustrating aspect of the contracting problem is that it was so obvious from the start of the Iraq war.

With so much U.S. money flowing into Iraq — often in bricks of cash — almost any scamster could qualify as a contractor and reap millions, such as the two adventurers who won a $16 million contract to guard the Baghdad airport even though they had no experience. Iraqi friends of mine in Baghdad constantly told me stories of ripoffs by Iraqi and American wheeler-dealers, and then asked in amazement why the

Taxpayers lose When money is thrown at nation-building projects without sufficient security or civilian-military coordination, and when it exceeds what local systems can absorb or manage, the only real beneficiaries are the contractors. U.S. taxpayers lose, Iraqis don’t gain, and the end result fuels Iraqi and American suspicions about the real motives behind the efforts.

SIGIR is about to shut down; its final report is titled “Lessons From Iraq.” It’s unclear whether the U.S. government has absorbed them.

And if you think this problem no longer exists now that we’ve left Iraq, think again.

The same problems still bedevil projects in Afghanistan.

Future nation-building efforts beckon as we confront failed states in Syria, Libya, and Yemen, or stay on in Kabul after 2014. There, too, contractors may have the most to gain.

ongratulations to the Kansas University Wind Ensemble for what reportedly was a stellar recent performance in New York City’s Carnegie Hall.

The group’s March 26 performance was the world premiere of a new work

by New York composer Mohammed Fairouz. “In the Shadow of No Towers” was inspired by the events of 9/11.

New York City reviewers, who were prepared to be underwhelmed by the performance, were impressed, referring to the ensemble as “one of America’s most esteemed concert bands” and the performance as “a jewel … among this wasteland of student recitals and overdressed soloists.”

The KU group obviously were great representatives of KU and Kansas. The accolades that came their way also are a good reminder of the high quality student performances local residents can enjoy on a regular basis right here in Lawrence.

Americans let them continue.

The answer, as Bowen makes clear, was (and is) systemic. It involved not only the United States’ need to rely on contractors, but also its officials’ inability to track the money allotted, as well as their unwillingness to consult with locals on what projects were really needed and workable.

With different agencies and often different allied countries providing funds, auditing systems were disjointed.

Bowen gives a perfect example: a $300 million watertreatment plant built in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. The plant is only 20 percent operational. The grandiose plan didn’t take into consideration that the system was too powerful for the available water pipes, or that the local tribe, whose members got control of the project, didn’t have the skills to operate it.

Some blacks defy the liberal line There are many successful liberals, so why do so many of them wish to subsidize failure for the poor, instead of showing them how to succeed?

Take Dr. Ben Carson, as one example. Dr. Carson, the renowned neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md., is enjoying a certain amount of celebrity unrelated to his profession for speaking his mind about how individuals and the nation might succeed if more Americans were less dependent on government.

Dr. Carson, who is African-American, has been denounced as insufficiently black because he won’t toe the liberal line when it comes to big government and the implication that those in the African-American voting bloc, huge supporters of the Democratic Party, who fall below the poverty line, cannot succeed without it. The fact that many have not succeeded with government has apparently escaped the notice of his critics.

Speaking with Megyn Kelly on Fox News’ “America Live” last week, Dr. Carson addressed some of the slurs tossed at him, saying they are

He appealed to his detractors to “move beyond” such rhetoric “and let’s have a real discussion about the real facts. If somebody disagrees, let’s talk about why they disagree, let’s talk about the pros and cons, let’s see if we can find some accommodation.”

That is precisely what the left does not want to do, because to have such a discus-

In the Kelly interview, Dr. Carson hit his main point about liberal reaction on subjects ranging from Obamacare to higher taxes: “They feel that if you look a certain way then you have to stay on the plantation.”

Isn’t such a personal attack also a form of racism? All whites don’t think alike, why should all African-Americans be expected to?

If government were the solution and not the problem, shouldn’t we expect that the amount of money spent on anti-poverty programs — $15 trillion since 1964, according to a CATO Institute analysis — might have moved the needle on poverty? Instead there are nearly as many poor people today as there were 49 years ago. According to the Wall Street Journal, “Enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, as the modern-day food-stamp benefit is known, has soared 70 percent since 2008 to a record 47.8 million as of December 2012.” Government as solution

isn’t working and Dr. Carson wants to discuss why. For this he is attacked?

The nightmare for liberals would be if Ben Carson became a role model for the poor instead of a target. If more of the poor had mothers like his (and maybe active fathers, which he didn’t have), who focused on reading and discipline, more might grow up to be like him. They might reject the lie that they are incapable of succeeding because of their circumstances.

In addition to Carson’s remarks about government dependency, he is also under attack for his unorthodox positions on same-sex marriage and evolution, which the National Review Online reports has led to a petition being circulated at Johns Hopkins Medical School asking that he be disinvited as commencement speaker. That would add censorship to racism.

The late newsman David Brinkley said, “A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.”

By that standard, Dr. Ben Carson is building a mansion.

——

Jayhawk recruit, All-American aims to lead next year

By Mike Helfgot Special to the Journal-World

CHICAGO — Wayne Selden drew laughs by entering Monday night’s three-point shooting contest at the Powerade Jam Fest.

Kansas University’s top recruit and only McDonald’s All-American in coach Bill Self’s five-member 2013 class laughed back.

“Nobody thought I should be in it,” Selden said. “When I told people I was in the three-point contest, they were laughing at me.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY RUNNING BACKS AND QUARTERBACKS SHUFFLE through a drill during a spring football practice Tuesday at Memorial Stadium. From left, in front, are running backs Taylor Cox, James Sims, Brandon Bourbon and quarterback Blake Jablonski.

Sneak peek at squad whets appetite for 2013 season The sun started to drop, and the temperature more than kept pace. And Tuesday afternoon was one of the warmest spring football practices for a Kansas football team trying to eradicate the stench of a 1-11 record, the school’s fourth consecutive losing season. Most of the summer sessions will take place in blistering heat.

That’s OK. Nothing about football practice ever is supposed to resemble comfortable anyway. Golf courses exist for that.

This was the first of the spring practices open to the media, and it presented an interesting challenge to try to pick out bits and pieces of signs of progress.

The best place to start is with the team’s most accomplished player, running back James Sims. He looks leaner than ever and primed for a big senior season. But it’s Tony Pierson whose movements stick out more than anybody’s. You get the same

Quarterback Jake Heaps, the Brigham Young transfer with two years of eligibility remaining, throws nothing but tight spirals and has the look of a guy who thoroughly enjoys everything he does related to the game of football, especially interacting with teammates.

Plus, too many balls were dropped, although none by Justin McCay, who finally will have footballs thrown to him during games after three seasons as a spectator. McCay spent one season at Oklahoma as a red shirt, one as a bench-warmer, and then had to sit out last season as a transfer. He has two remaining seasons of eligibility. At 6-2, 213, he has the size to make a difference and remains one of the most intriguing mysteries on the team. Emerging senior-to-be Christian Matthews caught everything thrown his way as well.

Three long-time starters on the offensive line are gone.

Look for Ngalu Fusimalohi to fill one of the guard spots.

He’s big at 6-2, 324, and practices with a nasty edge.

Saathoff strong, but Firebirds tennis third at home quad

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

FREE STATE SENIOR JOSH SAATHOFF MAKES A RETURN against Olathe Northwest on Tuesday at the Firebirds’ home tennis quadrangular.

Game after game, Josh Saathoff battled back and forth, in search of an edge against his first No. 2 singles opponent, Tuesday afternoon at Free State High’s home tennis quad.

Though Saathoff, an FSHS senior, had taken an early lead against Lee Fitchett of Olathe Northwest, his foe caught up with him, and they began alternating wins in their race to reach eight. Finally, Saathoff broke serve and went on to take the match, 8-6 — his first of three victories on the afternoon.

“The close matches he had at the beginning,” Firebirds coach Oather Strawderman said, “really gave him that focus and drive to keep fighting.

And the fight that he had that first match, that carried over.”

Saathoff’s wins against ONW and Shawnee Mission Northwest were Free State’s only victories before the Firebirds finished 1-2 at the quad by sweeping Shawnee Mission North, 4-0, to close it out.

Down, 3-1, early in his second match, against Shawnee Mission Northwest’s Nate Stevens, Saathoff fought back with a simple strategy.

“Just hitting it to the corners, making him move,” the senior said. “It worked out pretty well.”

After winning, 8-6, Saathoff declined a resting period before his third and final victory, 8-0, against Shawnee Mission North’s Michael Armstrong.

“The adrenaline’s still rolling, warmed up, might as well keep going and finish the match,” he said.

His opponents found out

what Strawderman already knew: Saathoff delivers the ball with more power this season.

“Josh’s consistency has always been there,” the coach said, “but this year especially, his first serve is much stronger and just the pace he is putting on the ball for groundstrokes has also improved a lot.”

Not everyone from Free State, however, was clicking on that level, and the Firebirds finished third at their home quad, which SMNW won with a 3-0 record. ONW went 2-1, and SMN was 0-3.

Said FSHS No. 1 singles player Richard Lu after winning one of his three matches: “Everyone’s not at their max right now. We’re still a little rusty from the offseason.”

Chiefs back for spring workouts KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alex Smith and Derrick Johnson said it felt like the first day of school.

Andy Reid is playing the role of the new teacher, and general manager John Dorsey took on the guise of the new principal.

The Kansas City Chiefs even had someone truant for the start of class, though the reality is that the start of offseason workouts Monday was strictly voluntary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if everyone but left tackle Branden Albert decided to show up.

It was the first time the Chiefs could gather as a team since Reid and Dorsey were hired in January, the two of them tasked with turning around a franchise that went 2-14 a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to get everybody back in the building, and start the offseason program,â&#x20AC;? said

Reid, who spent the past 14 seasons coaching the Eagles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are not mandatory workouts,â&#x20AC;? Reid said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to see the workouts we had, and the effort the guys put in, not just in the meeting room but the workout rooms.â&#x20AC;?

The Chiefs mostly spent the day in team meetings, where Reid laid out his philosophy and tried to set the tone for the organization, though several players were working out in the weight room and safeties Kendrick Lewis and Eric Berry were spotted on the indoor practice field.

Smith, who arrived in an offseason trade with San Francisco, also got his hands on Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playbook for the first time, and the new Chiefs quarterback â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with the rest of the play-

ers on the roster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will finally have a chance to dig into it in the coming days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like the first day of school, but it was good. A good day,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a good turnout, guys were enthusiastic, coming into work, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about.â&#x20AC;?

Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as the lone absentee was somewhat surprising.

The big left tackle would have become a free agent this offseason had he not received the franchise designation from the Chiefs. And while he has stated publicly that he wants a longterm commitment, Albert decided to sign his contract worth $9.82 million late last month.

That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean Albert will be with the Chiefs when next season rolls around.

Kansas City has reportedly been listening to trade offers the past few weeks, and Reid said that he was aware that Albert would not be attending Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workouts. Asked if he expects Albert to attend any workouts, Reid said simply, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really get caught up in that. The guys that are here weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work with, and that gives the next man an opportunity to get better and get ready to play,â&#x20AC;? Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want the focus to be on him, rather than the rest of the football team.â&#x20AC;?

The Chiefs made a series of bold moves in the offseason to shore up their roster, beginning with the acquisition of Smith and continuing with the signing of a bevy of free agents.

Palmer traded to Arizona TEMPE, ARIZ. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carson Palmer has landed with the third team of his NFL career.

First Cincinnati, then Oakland and now Arizona, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Whoâ&#x20AC;? of NFL powerhouses.

But Palmer and his new coach insist that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming to a Cardinals team built to win now, despite the fact it lost 11 of its last 12 a season ago.

The Arizona Cardinals acquired Palmer from the Oakland Raiders, then agreed to a two-year contract that could pay him up to $20 million with $10 million guaranteed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of tread left on my tires,â&#x20AC;? the 33-year-old quarterback promised.

Ever since Bruce Arians was hired to replace the fired Ken Whisenhunt, quarterback was the No. 1 topic of conversation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to introduce our starting quarterback and put it to bed,â&#x20AC;? Arians said at a news conference on Tuesday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy about it.â&#x20AC;?

The Cardinals gave up a conditional seventh-round 2014 draft pick and swapped the second of their two sixth-round picks this year for Oaklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh-round selection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a no-brainer,â&#x20AC;? Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we learned that he would be available via trade and that we had a shot at getting him, we were aggressive. We went out there, we put our best foot forward and made sure that we got the deal done. It dragged on a little over the weekend but this morning we made sure we pushed it over the goal line and got it done.â&#x20AC;?

Palmer was to make $13 million under his old Raiders contract but reworked it to come to the desert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only got a couple of shots left,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in this league for a long time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing personal, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not statistical, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about trying to win a championship.â&#x20AC;?

If Palmer starts at least 13 games next season, Oakland gets Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 seventh-round pick. If he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, the Cardinals owe the Raiders nothing.

But at least the Raiders have the prospect of getting something for the quarterback rather than just releasing him.

Oakland acquired quarterback Matt Flynn on Monday in a deal that sent two draft picks to the Seahawks.

Palmer is 54-67 as a starter.

He was 4-11 with Oakland last season.

In 15 games in 2012, Palmer threw for 4,018 yards, becoming the second quarterback in Raiders history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a season. He threw for 22 touchdowns with 14 interceptions.

He said that when it became clear the Raiders were embarking on a youth movement, he began to look elsewhere. Palmer said he found out Arizona was a possibility last Friday in a call from his agent, David Dunn.

TEXAS TECHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MASCOT WELCOMES Tubby Smith to the stage as Smith is introduced as the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball coach Tuesday in Lubbock, Texas.

Tubby takes over as head coach at Texas Tech LUBBOCK, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tubby Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time at Texas Tech has begun. And he says he will fit in just fine in West Texas, where cowboy hats and cowboy boots are more prominent than many other places heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coached. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I already have some,â&#x20AC;? Smith said of his cowboy boots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring them with me.â&#x20AC;?

Texas Tech is counting on Smith to bring the same touch heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used to revive other programs.

Texas Tech hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a winning conference record since 2006-07 and it finished 19-43 overall the past two seasons, including a 4-32 mark in the Big 12.

The Red Raiders last went to the NCAA Tournament in 2007, Bob Knightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final full season in Lubbock. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been mostly downhill since then.

Smith won a national title and five Southeastern Conference championships in 10 years with Kentucky before leaving for Minnesota in 2007.

Smith, who was replaced at Kentucky by Billy Gillispie, has also taken Tulsa and Georgia to the round of 16.

Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to do it again at Texas Tech, where he succeeds Gillispie. Smith is the fourth person to lead Texas Tech in as many seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my goal to build this program into one of the top programs, not just in the Big 12 but in the country, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be easy,â&#x20AC;? he said Tuesday at his first news conference in Lubbock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be hard work.â&#x20AC;?

Smith was fired by Minnesota last week after six seasons and landed a new job almost as quickly as the weather changes in West Texas.

The 61-year-old got a six-year deal from the Red Raiders that will pay him $1.8 million a year, his agent Ricky Lefft said. It is the largest paycheck for a Texas Tech basketball coach.

Smith told Texas Tech fans gathered for his introduction that he was ready when athletic director Kirby Hocutt came calling last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to get back on the horse right away

because I feel like I have a lot to offer, a lot of energy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of good years left in me to coach.â&#x20AC;?

He said he plans to head to the Final Four in Atlanta this weekend to begin putting together his staff.

Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience could be just what the Red Raiders need to pull out of their skid. The AP Coach of the Year in 2003, Smith is known as a program builder who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut corners.

His teams have been clean and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done things the right way, which could go a long way toward bringing name recognition to Texas Tech.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski called Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hire a terrific choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Tubby has done everywhere heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coached, he will represent Texas Tech in a first-class manner and do an outstanding job leading the program,â&#x20AC;? he said in a statement provided by Texas Tech.

Smith led the Golden Gophers to three NCAA tournaments and this year supplied the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first tourney win â&#x20AC;&#x201D; over UCLA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; since 1997. He went 124-81 (.610), winning 20 games five times. But he never finished higher than sixth in the Big Ten, going just 46-62 in conference play, and Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic director decided it was time for a change.

In all, Smith is 511-226 (.693) in 22 seasons and his teams have won 20-plus games 19 times. His teams at Tulsa, Georgia, Kentucky and Minnesota went to the NCAA tournament in 17 seasons.

Senior Jaye Crockett, the Red Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading scorer (11.9 points per game) and rebounder (6.5 rpg) this season, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard plenty of good things about Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully he can just change it around as quick as possible because I only have a year, so hopefully it can be my best year yet,â&#x20AC;? he said.

WSU have-not of Final Four ————

Shockers’ budget less than Pitino’s salary

NBA

| 3B

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

The entire basketball program at Wichita State runs on what Louisville coach Rick Pitino makes in a single year, with money left over to purchase plenty of trophy cases for Final Four hardware.

In an NCAA Tournament driven by long shots and upsets, the Shockers are in many ways the oddball of the season’s final weekend: They don’t have a big-time football program like Syracuse, Michigan or the Cardinals, and they don’t belong to a major conference that enjoys a weighty television contract.

Instead, the Shockers run their basketball program on a budget of just $3.1 million, which accounts for everything from coach Gregg Marshall’s salary to a robust recruiting budget, all of the transportation to road games and everything else that comes with playing Division I sports.

Pitino, by comparison, makes $3.9 million in base salary alone.

But the fiscal disparity between the three big schools and a mid-major like Wichita State will hardly matter when the ball is tossed up Saturday night in the Georgia Dome, and the Shockers take on the Cardinals for the right to play for the national championship.

Everything is equal when the teams step on the hardwood.

“Our administration gives us wonderful support,” Marshall said this week. “We fly on private planes every time we leave town. We have 10,500 fans at every game.

It’s a great place to coach.”

That’s why Marshall has rebuffed every overture to leave.

The calls will undoubtedly pick up given what the Shockers have done this year, but the longtime coach of Winthrop has said repeatedly that it would take the perfect opportunity to pry him away.

WICHITA STATE GUARD FRED VAN VLEET CELEBRATES his team’s 70-66 victory over Ohio State in the West Regional final Saturday in Los Angeles.

For one thing, he has it pretty good at Wichita State.

The school’s robust aerospace engineering program, along with the National Institute for Aviation Research right on campus, means Marshall has plenty of private planes at his disposal — no flying in coach for this mid-major team. And that extends to recruiting, where Marshall’s able to cover more ground than most coaches by dictating when and where the wheels go up.

“They’re kind of like sports cars, instead of a school bus. They’re more like Ferraris and Jaguars.

They go pretty fast,” Marshall said, joking about the fleet of private planes.

“That is a great benefit,” he said. “Our players don’t understand how good they have it, to go from bus to private plane to bus and in a couple hours be in our hotel.”

Then there’s the fact that the Shockers no longer have a football team — it was disbanded in the mid-1980s. The money that the Missouri Valley school once funneled into a losing program has, for the better part of 30 years, been directed toward the more successful basketball team.

“I think for schools

within our conference, obviously football isn’t a moneymaker for them,” said Rege Klitzke, Wichita State’s senior associate athletic director for business operations. “If you compare ourselves to fellow conference schools, not having football is a big advantage.”

It’s also one of the reasons the school has been able to reward Marshall handsomely.

The coach signed a seven-year extension in 2011 that pushed his base salary to $900,000 and his total compensation to more than $1 million a year.

And while it’s far short of what Pitino is making at Louisville, Marshall has a chance to bolster his bank account with a number of incentives. He’s already earned an additional $380,000 for making the Final Four, and can pick up another $36,000 by making the title game and $200,000 for winning the school’s first national title.

“We have a great basketball program. We have tradition, we have history,” Marshall said. “It’s been a lot of great players, tremendous fan base. Tremendous support. The administration loves it. We don’t have football — they don’t want football. They

Notre Dame 87, Duke 76 NORFOLK, VA. — Skylar Diggins and Notre Dame are headed back to the Final Four for another rematch with Connecticut.

Diggins shook off early foul trouble to score 24 points, and Notre Dame rallied to beat Duke, 8776, on Tuesday night to earn its third consecutive trip to the Final Four. The Irish have lost in the past two national championship games.

“I want to win a championship for coach (Muffet) McGraw bad,” Diggins said. “When you have a coach who believes in you so much, I’d do anything for her.”

Kayla McBride added 18 points, while Jewell Loyd and Natalie Achonwa had 17 each as the Fighting Irish (35-1) won their schoolrecord 30th consecutive game, earning a fourth meeting with UConn.

want us to be the best we can be.”

So far, the Shockers have been as good as anybody.

They’ve already won a school-record 30 games, and reached their first Final Four since the 1965 season. Along the way, the Shockers roughed up Pittsburgh, upset top-seeded Gonzaga, beat up La Salle and then knocked off second-seeded Ohio State — another big-budget school — in the regional finals.

They’ve proven that a 6-foot-8 forward is just as tall at Wichita State as anywhere else, and a point guard who shoots 40 percent from beyond the three-point line can do it regardless of the setting.

“Are there financial benefits to making the Final Four? Sure, we can go into that ad nauseam,” Wichita State athletic director Eric Sexton told the Associated Press in a phone interview.

“But what this really represents is a great chance for our school to be seen on a national stage.

“It’s a great ride, wellearned and deserved, and we’re not satisfied. We still have work to do,” Sexton said. “But it’s a great window into our athletic department, our university and even our state to be one of the final four teams playing.”

CHICAGO BULLS OFFICIAL ERICK BUCK, LEFT, ESCORTS GUARD KIRK HINRICH OFF THE COURT after Hinrich was ejected in the second half of a 90-86 loss to the Wizards on Tuesday in Washington.

Roundup Wizards 90, Bulls 86 WASHINGTON — John Wall had 27 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, Emeka Okafor scored the go-ahead dunk in the final minute, and the Wizards won their eighth straight home game Tuesday night, beating the temperamental Bulls.

Wall was 8-for-17 from the field and 11-for-13 at the free-throw line as the Wizards maintained pursuit of their goal of becoming the best team not to make the playoffs.

They want to pass the Philadelphia 76ers and finish ninth in the Eastern Conference — not bad for a team that started 4-28 — and Tuesday’s win left them 21⁄2 games back with eight to play.

Wall is averaging 23.7 points and 8.6 assists during the home winning streak.

Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Bulls, who are vying for home-court advantage in the playoffs.

The loss put them two games behind the fourthplace Brooklyn Nets in the East. Chicago visits Brooklyn on Thursday.

One of the Bulls’ biggest challenges was having enough players to finish the game. Taj Gibson left in the first half because of a left knee injury and did not return, and Kirk Hinrich was tossed with 3:19 to play for picking up a pair of technicals after teammate Nazr Mohammed was called for basket interference while tipping in a rebound.

Boozer was whistled for a technical in the third quarter, and Hinrich and Mohammed both picked up their fourth fouls in the third.

Chicago was already without Derrick Rose (left knee), Joakim Noah (right foot), Marco Belinelli (abdominal strain) and Richard Hamilton (lower back).

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

No loafing allowed on Weis’ watch

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During a recent meeting with the media, Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis said flying to the football had been an emphasis for the KU defense so far this spring.

The idea of sending 11 blue helmets to the ball on every play has been so important that the coaches have begun charting what they refer to as “loafs” for the defensive players who don’t do it.

Although the wind hit Memorial Stadium with an unusual April chill on Tuesday, the defense seemed to have gotten the message, as players routinely sprinted to ball-carriers during defensive and special-teams drills.

A few positive plays in one practice certainly does not mean the defense has the concept licked. But Weis’ explanation of what a loaf is and what happens when one is recorded sends a stronger message. “(A loaf) is when a defensive lineman thinks he is out of a play and thinks he will save his energy because someone else will finish the play,” Weis began. “That is one of the things that we have to get much better at, as a defense, to get all 11 guys running to the ball on every single play.

When I first got into college football back in the mid 1980s, I went to the University of South Carolina. They had an undersized defense called the Fire Ant Defense because they swarmed the ball on every single play. I think, defensively, if all 11 guys swarm the football, you always have a chance of being very successful.”

Asked if the coaching staff kept track of loafs, Weis answered with a nod and a smile.

“Not only do we chart the loafs, but to end every practice, they do updowns for every loaf,” he said. “If the team has 22 loafs over the course of a practice, they circle up and do 22 up-downs as a team to end the practice. We make them do it when they are really

KANSAS LINEBACKER BEN HEENEY (31) CLOSES on receiver Billy Owens during a spring football practice Tuesday at Memorial Stadium.

Williams injured Sophomore cornerback Tyree Williams sat out of Tuesday’s practice with his lower left leg wrapped. No players or coaches spoke with the media after Tuesday’s practice, but Williams, a 6-foot, 185-pound defensive back from Stafford, Texas, showed up near the end of drills and was on crutches.

There has been no word from KU officials about the type or severity of Williams’ injury.

Williams was listed as a second-string cornerback on KU’s pre-spring depth chart, battling with junior Nas Moore for the right to back up newcomer Cassius Sendish.

Spencer shows speed Freshman running back Colin Spencer, who graduated high school early and reported to KU in time for spring drills, consistently has shown the one trait that makes him a threat to earn playing time during his first season in Lawrence Spencer — his speed.

That was again on display Tuesday, as Spencer flashed his wheels in both running and receiving drills. Asked recently how the 5-10, 180-pound back from Dallas had adjusted to college football, Weis painted a picture of steady improvement.

“It was interesting because, at the beginning, he was like a chicken with his head cut off,” Weis said. “But I think the

game has started to slow down for him. His whole game is his quickness and his strength. The kid has less than two percent body fat. When you have to think, then you don’t play as quick. As he has become more comfortable, you begin to see him playing more comfortable. In August, he will be totally different than if he were just showing up in August. That is a big advantage for him. He is getting all of the original kinks worked out early, so, by the time training camp rolls around, he will hopefully put himself in a position to compete right away.”

and if you’re an opposing quarterback, good luck trying to forget you ever met him.

Greg Allen, 5-11, 203, flashed cover skills of the cornerback he was during his red-shirt season and brings nice speed to the safety position. Early guess: He’s going to be a serious player.

In special teams, a disturbing number of kicks

weren’t fielded cleanly.

Now for the good news: Trevor Pardula, a punter and kickoff specialist who chose KU’s scholarship over that from hometown San Jose State, showed a really, really strong foot, booming kick after kick over the heads of punt-return men.

Another encouraging development: The

contrast between how bodies looked during the forgettable 2010 season that opened with a 6-3 loss to North Dakota State and Tuesday was a stark one. Clearly, the weight room has been alive with misery. One week from Saturday at 1 p.m., the spring football intrasquad game whets our appetites for the 2013 season.

tired, and we call out the name of each player that loafed, so every player is accountable for the effort they give in each and every practice. It definitely stresses the point we are trying to make.”

Poor inning sinks Jayhawks Selden CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

J-W Staff Reports

One bad inning was enough to sink Kansas University’s baseball team.

Creighton center fielder Mike Gerber went 2-for-5 with a solo home run as part of a five-run second inning, and the Bluejays beat KU, 6-4, Tuesday night at Hoglund Ballpark.

KU fell to 15-11, while the Jays improved to 15-6.

Creighton plated five runs in the second inning: Gerber’s solo home run, two singles, a walk, a hit batsman and a Jayhawk error. KU committed three errors Tuesday, which led to three unearned runs.

Despite the mistakes in the field, Kansas had a chance to win in the bottom of the ninth.

After scoring a run on a fielder’s choice, the Jayhawks brought the winning run to the plate with one out. However, Creighton closer Jake Peter induced fly-outs to center and right field off the bats of Michael Suiter and Alex DeLeon to end the game.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S TANNER POPE WAITS FOR THE CALL after a pitch with the bases loaded against Creighton on Tuesday at Hoglund Ballpark. Pope walked the batter, sending a run home for the Bluejays in a five-run second inning. The Jayhawks lost, 6-4.

Senior Tanner Poppe started on the mound for KU and, after a nightmarish second inning, tossed back-to-back scoreless innings in the third and fourth. Poppe allowed three earned runs on four hits with three walks and a strikeout. KU’s bullpen tandem of Frank Duncan, Junior Mustain, Robert Kahana and Jordan Piché

allowed just one unearned run on two hits over the final five innings.

KU will host Saint Mary at 6 p.m. today. Fans can attend for free.

From a physical standpoint, Selden’s maturation happened naturally.

Easily the strongest guard at this week’s high school all-star festivities, Selden has looked better than his national rankings — No. 12 by ESPN, 13 by Scout and 26 by Rivals — in practice.

“It is a blessing to be here,” Selden said. “I don’t look at it like that. I look at it like I’m going to play my game, and my game will determine how I should be ranked.

“I’m a McDonald’s AllAmerican, and I’m really thankful with all the big names that have come through here and being able to compete with all these great players. Now it’s about stepping forward and being a great college player, not looking back at a high school ranking.”

Self will be relying heavily on freshmen next year, and unless Andrew Wiggins — Selden’s East teammate and the nation’s

Kansas University freshman guard Rio Adams announced on Twitter Tuesday night that he will be leaving KU. “I’m transferring to another school and will be getting released Tomorrow.... I love this team no matter what !!! I’ve learned a lot here!!” Adams said on his @WarLordRio Twitter account.

Shortly after the tweet was posted, KU coach Bill Self confirmed to the Journal-World that Adams was transferring.

“He is leaving. He will get his release tomorrow,” Self said.

Adams, a 6-foot-3 guard from Seattle, on various occasions this season expressed his displeasure with playing time on Twitter and Facebook. Adams, who has not yet revealed his future school, scored 27 points while playing in 24 games. He hit 10 of 25 shots, including two of five threes. He was 5-of-13 from the free-throw line with six assists against 11 turnovers.

O

Not done recruiting: Self, who has signed ESPN’s No. 3-ranked high school basketball recruiting class entering the April 17-May 15 spring signing period, says he and his assistants are not finished in their pursuit of players.

“Immediate impact,” Self said Tuesday, asked what he’s looking for on the recruiting trail. “We could probably sign a couple more.”

KU, which has signed No. 25-ranked (Rivals. com) Brannen Greene, No. 26 Wayne Selden, No. 31 Conner Frankamp, No. 37 Joel Embiid and No. 134 Frank Mason, is still in the hunt for No. 1-rated Andrew Wiggins, a 6-7 forward from Huntington (W.Va.) Prep who is considering KU, Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida State. He and Selden will be playing in today’s McDonald’s All-American game, set for an 8:30 p.m., start on ESPN. The Jayhawks, whose class is ranked behind Kentucky and Memphis, have two scholarships left to give, three if freshman guard Ben McLemore heads to the NBA. Most expect the 6-foot5 McLemore to declare for the draft sometime next week after the players conduct their end-of-theseason meetings with Self.

Self on Tuesday confirmed the fact McLemore is on campus and in class

“I’m not going to watch it. I very rarely watch the last game. I’ve probably only watched a couple of them, unless it ended in a win,” Self said. “I won’t watch this one. I’ve replayed it in my head, like I’m sure all the players have of what happened and what went wrong. We probably had to have six, seven things go wrong in the last minute, minuteand-a-half. They had to have a lot of things go right. It certainly played out that way.”

Meetings ahead: Self, who is a member of the NABC Board of Directors, will attend some of the Final Four later this week.

He said that, as of Tuesday, he’s not accepted any overtures from national TV networks to work as an analyst or panelist.

“I don’t think I can be there the whole time, but I will certainly attend several meetings,” Self said.

“There are things required of everybody on different boards. It’s a week I wish I wouldn’t be going to any meetings. I wish I could be coaching my team.”

tion as a slasher rather than a shooter is welldeserved but is confident the Jayhawks are getting a complete offensive player.

“I knew that going into my senior year I had to develop my outside shot,” Selden said. “It is all about repetition. I took a lot of threes this year. I had eight in one game. It is all about developing and getting better.

“I do a whole bunch of different drills, just getting lots of shots up. I go from class to shoot, then go back to class. I do that two or three times a day. I really have no life outside school. It is God, family, school and basketball. No effort goes into anything else.”

That’s not entirely true.

Selden is currently working on his second school play, and his role has grown exponentially.

“The play is about three guys chasing after one girl,” Selden said. “It’s a small play, 15 minutes. We had to write our own part to make it longer. The last play I had three lines; this one I have 25 or 30.

“My character is a weirdo. He’s a creepy guy, but he gets the girl.”

Abbott adjusts, sparks Lawrence tennis

LAWRENCE HIGH’S AUSTIN ABBOTT, FOREGROUND, REACHES for a backhand during a victory with Christoph Brandt over Bonner Springs on Tuesday at LHS.

At the beginning of his No. 1 singles tennis match, Lawrence High senior Austin Abbott was trying to kill every shot.

It put him in a 5-2 hole against Bonner Springs’ Quinton Schneck.

“It wasn’t working,” Abbott said of his approach, “so I just switched it up.”

Thanks to a strategy change — and some helpful advice from LHS coach Chris Marshall — Abbott rallied, taking a 7-6 (7-2) victory as part of a 7-2 team victory for the Lions over Bonner

Springs on Tuesday at LHS. After watching Abbott fall behind 5-2, Marshall asked him: “Do you get bonus points for hitting the ball hard?”

When Abbott said no, Marshall continued with his point: It’s not how hard you hit it, but where you hit it that matters.

“Sometimes sarcasm is taken well,” Marshall said with a smile. “I hope it helped him out.”

Abbott admits it did. He played with more confidence while following the safer game plan.

“It got me focused again,” Abbott said. “I was

just like, ‘Don’t make stupid unforced errors.’ Just keep on playing.”

Marshall said Abbott, who is playing his first year of varsity tennis after previously focusing on basketball, already had been a solid addition for LHS. The senior could sense a momentum shift late in his singles match when he started simply “poking” the ball back toward Schneck.

“I realized he was getting nervous, because he lost his lead,” Abbott said.

“I was just trying to make him make the mistake.”

Abbott’s victory was part of a singles sweep for LHS, which continued to

show progress in its third meet.

Because of the weather, the Lions have only had three outside practices on the courts this year.

“I was pleased. I saw more consistency,” Marshall said. “We had a lot more balls back in play, which is an improvement from last week.”

Marshall was especially happy with No. 2 singles player Christoph Brandt, who bounced back from a disappointing meet Monday in Emporia to take two victories. He defeated Bonner Springs’ Aaron Lewis, 6-0, at No. 2 singles and also teamed with Ab-

Joe Dineen hit a tworun home run, and Jacob Caldwell hit a two-run triple to lead the Firebirds.

McCullough struck out six and walked two and also went 2-for-3 with an RBI. “Dane controlled the game from the mound,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said.

“He was outstanding. I’m not even sure he had great command with his second pitch, but he was dominant with his fastball. We made a couple good plays behind him.”

Free State’s No. 1 doubles team of Brandon Juracek and Miles Stevens and No. 2 doubles team of Brady Clements and Antonio Schoneich won their final matches of the quad, too.

Lu said the team needed to improve after its rough afternoon.

“You’re gonna have bad days,” he said.

Darvish flirts with gem STANDINGS

The Associated Press

American League Rangers 7, Astros 0 HOUSTON — Yu Darvish was one out from a perfect game when Marwin Gonzalez grounded a clean single through the pitcher’s legs, and the Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.

The celebrated righthander from Japan struck out 14 and appeared to be in complete control before Gonzalez smacked the first pitch up the middle.

Darvish was unable to get his glove down in time, and the ball skittered into center field well beyond a desperate dive by shortstop Elvis Andrus.

Darvish put up his hands — almost like, “Oh well, it happens” — after the single. The Texas infielders immediately came to the mound, and manager Ron Washington joined them.

Washington patted Darvish on the chest and then signaled for a reliever. A crowd that included lots of Rangers fans cheered Darvish as he walked off.

He sat on the bench to watch the rest of the game, and took part in the congratulations line when it ended.

Darvish became the first pitcher to lose a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning since Armando Galarraga on June 2, 2010. Of course, the Detroit pitcher was denied only because of an infamous missed call at first base by umpire Jim Joyce, who later admitted he blew the play.

On the second full day of the major-league season, Darvish nearly picked up right where baseball left off last year, when there were a record three perfect games, thrown by Philip Humber, Matt Cain and Felix Hernandez.

Darvish arrived in the majors last year with much fanfare, having already been a five-time AllStar and two-time MVP in Japan. The Rangers paid more than $107 million to get him for five seasons.

The 6-foot-5 righty quickly settled in with Texas, becoming an AllStar last year on the way to going 16-9 with 221 strikeouts. He also once flirted with perfection, retiring the first 17 batters at Kansas City on Sept. 3.

If Darvish had been able to finish the job Tuesday, it would have been the earliest perfecto in history.

He didn’t really need a dazzling play from his defense as he shut down the Astros and chased the 24th perfect game in big league history — including the one Don Larsen tossed in the 1956 World Series, and two in 1880.

It was almost the second time in 10 months the overmatched Astros failed to put a runner on base.

Cain’s perfect game for the World Series champion San Francisco Giants came against Houston on June 13 last year.

Many expect the Astros to be the worst team in the majors this year, after two straight 100-loss seasons and a major league-low payroll of just under $22 million. But they cruised to an 8-2 win over Texas in the major-league opener and their American League debut Sunday night.

The 26-year-old Darvish carried over a strong showing in spring training this year into near perfection in his first regularseason start. The Astros looked totally lost against him, often taking wild swings at breaking balls that bounced.

With the crowd on its feet and a mixture of

TEXAS’ YU DARVISH DELIVERS against Houston.

Darvish came within one out of a perfect game, and the Rangers defeated the Astros, 7-0, on Tuesday night in Houston. cheers and “Yuuus” filling Minute Maid Park, Chris Carter took Darvish to a full count before striking out on the ninth pitch of the at-bat for the first out of the eighth inning.

Rick Ankiel followed by striking out and Justin Maxwell hit an easy grounder to second baseman Ian Kinsler.

Darvish looked toward the sky for a couple of seconds before retreating to the dugout.

Darvish, who played seven professional seasons in Japan before joining the Rangers, set rookie franchise records for wins (16) and strikeouts (221) last season. He finished third in AL Rookie of the Year voting behind winner Mike Trout and Oakland outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.

The win gives Darvish five straight regular-season victories dating to last season. He took the loss in the Rangers’ 5-1 defeat to Baltimore in the AL wildcard game last year.

Orioles 7, Rays 4 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Adam Jones keyed a seventh-inning rally with a two-run, go-ahead double and Chris Davis followed with a three-run homer to help Baltimore open the season with a victory over Tampa Bay. Matt Wieters homered early off AL Cy Young Award winner David Price. Wieters later drew an intentional walk from reliever Jake McGee (01) before Davis’ towering shot over the right-field wall broke open the game and silenced a sellout crowd of 34,078 at Tropicana Field.

Jason Hammel (1-0) allowed three runs and three hits in six innings.

Jim Johnson pitched a scoreless ninth for a save.

Despite giving up a two-run homer to Wieters in the first inning and not being particularly sharp in his second career opening-day start, Price departed with a 3-2 lead after the Rays scored twice in the sixth.

Indians 4, Blue Jays 1 TORONTO — NL Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey and the overhauled Blue Jays struggled in their opener and lost to Asdrubal Cabrera, Justin Masterson and Cleveland.

Cabrera hit a two-run homer off Dickey, Masterson pitched six innings, and the Indians ended their streak of openingday losses at four.

Cleveland won its opener for the first time since beating the Chicago White Sox in 2008. The Indians had dropped eight of their last 10 openers.

Excited by the winter acquisitions of Dickey, Jose Reyes and other AllStars, fans in Toronto were eager to see the revamped roster in action.

Instead, a disappointed sellout crowd of 48,857 saw Masterson and three relievers combine to check Toronto.

National League Rockies 8, Brewers 4 MILWAUKEE — Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez each homered for the second straight game, leading Colorado over Milwaukee and giving Walt Weiss his first win as a major-league manager.

Tulowitzki is off to quick start after missing the last four months of the 2012 season with a left groin injury that required surgery.

The All-Star shortstop went 2-for-5 with a homer and two RBIs in Monday’s loss on opening day.

Ryan Braun homered for Milwaukee.

The first time I ate raw asparagus was during the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s at an Italian restaurant in New York.

Someone else must have pushed me to order it because until then the only asparagus Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever encountered was steamed and buttered, and I really liked it just that way.

Raw asparagus? Must be bland and boring.

Then I noticed that the vegetable in question was the centerpiece of a salad dressed with fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Well, shoot, a piece of cotton would taste good with that kind of treatment, so I took a chance. To my surprise and delight, the dish was wonderfully flavorful and refreshing. Crunchy, too.

With asparagus season upon us, I thought it might be fun to re-create that salad with a few lipsmacking extras.

Raw Asparagus, Mushroom and Parsley Salad With Nuts and Parmesan Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4

Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 1/2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil 1/2 pound asparagus, tough stems trimmed and discarded (peeled if thicker than 1/3 inch) 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves 4 ounces firm white button mushrooms, thinly sliced 1/3 cup pistachios or chopped toasted walnuts 1 ounce shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese In a large bowl, combine a hefty pinch of salt, some black pepper and the lemon juice. Whisk until the salt is dissolved, then add the oil in a stream, whisking. Set aside.

Lay the asparagus flat on a cutting board and slice a few stalks at a time very thin on a diagonal to create thin oblong slices.

Add to the salad bowl along with the parsley, mushrooms and pistachios or walnuts. Toss well to coat with the dressing.

Divide the salad among 4 serving plates and top each portion with some of the cheese.

A protein smoothie to help welcome spring

ell, spring is almost here.

Maybe. After such a wonderful weekend, I feel like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a light at the end of this cold snap. Again, maybe.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still not going to be convinced until possibly May, but this sort of looks promising. So promising, in fact, that I went a little hog wild and bought fresh strawberries.

Crazy, I know.

But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret a thing. Because the ones I could steal away from our resident strawberry monster/child, I made into a post-workout smoothie that was mine, all mine.

And it tasted like Neapolitan-ice-cream summery goodness.

Sure, I couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used frozen strawberries, but there was something really nice about using fresh strawberries (that were much more tasty than those expensive/ anemic winter ones), especially on a day that would hover near 70 degrees.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting there, folks. So, just get out your blender, whip up this smoothie and then sit tight and wait for Mother Nature to bring the warmer temps for good.

USING A PRESSURE COOKER TO MAKE RISOTTO simplifies the process and — most impressively — speeds it up. A recipe that normally takes 45 minutes in a traditional saute pan is done and ready to serve in about 20.

Pressure cooker makes risotto fast, easy

By Elizabeth Karmel Associated Press

Pressure cookers never really did much for me. They seemed fussy — and scary! All those stories about explosions...

Then I used one to make a risotto, a dish that by definition is tedious to make. I was blown away. It simplified the process and — most impressively — sped it up. What normally takes me 45 minutes in a traditional saute pan was done and ready to serve in about 20. That’s my type of risotto! And my type of pan.

Pressure cookers really are very cool devices.

Because the lids clamp on and create a pressurized, steam-driven environment, they allow you to cook at higher temperatures. Normal boiling or steaming cooking methods max out around 212 F, the boiling point of water. Pressure cookers allow for water (as steam) to be superheated, reaching as high as 250 F. The result is a moist, quick method of cooking that produces deli-

ciously tender meats in little time. And modern pressure cookers also happen to be very safe (don’t worry about explosions!).

My risotto recipe is simple and delicate because I wanted it to showcase the asparagus.

But it would be easy to add a touch of garlic, your favorite mushrooms and even tender spring peas.

The second time I made it, I added porcini mushroom powder and it was divine, resulting in a bolder, more umamifilled risotto without any mushroom slices. The garlic and mushrooms — or porcini powder — should go in at the beginning and peas should be added when the asparagus is to let the heat of the steaming rice cook the tender vegetables.

I have never had so much fun making risotto. Now that I have the hang of using the pressure cooker, I can’t wait to tackle short ribs, chicken Marbella, whole stuffed artichokes and grits, too — anything that normally takes hours and/or lots of stirring to make!

Pressure Cooker Risotto With Asparagus The asparagus is added raw to the rice after it is cooked, letting the delicate green stalks cook just briefly. This light touch leaves the asparagus bright green and slightly crunchy. If you like your asparagus cooked more, you can grill or saute it briefly before adding it to the risotto. But do not add it to the pressure cooker at the same time as the rice or it will overcook.

Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 4 2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil 1 large shallot, chopped or thinly sliced 1 cup Arborio rice 1/2 cup white wine 2 cups no-salt chicken broth Pinch of salt, plus more to taste Pinch of red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup small asparagus tips and tops, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Chicken CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10B

Nashville’s growing roster of hot chicken restaurants. Over the years, it has moved several times and its owners have missed a few bills, but Jeffries, with the help of her daughter, niece, brother and cousins, has managed to keep it in her family.

As the story goes, it all began with Jeffries’ great uncle Thornton Prince, a bit of a man about town whose girlfriend had put up with enough and wanted a bit of spicy retribution. So she made him a special chicken for breakfast with a fiery kick.

“But he liked it, I’m sure after he kind of startled himself on it,’” Jeffries said. “He had her make some more, whatever stuff she put on it. And word got around. People started coming out to the house for chicken.”

“My great uncle started it, but of course I give credit to his lady friend,” Jeffries said.

Sixty-odd years later, the family will be honored in May with a prestigious James Beard Foundation America’s Classics Award.

It’s a proud moment for Jeffries, but one born out of a simple idea.

“I just wanted something to stay in the family,” she said. “Mom and pop places, they are phasing out. Big business is taking over, and so I think there’s very few mom and pop places open that’s been going for as long as we have. That was my goal. But it’s nothing that

KEITH GRAHAM SPRINKLES HOT SEASONING on an order of chicken March 22 at Bolton’s Spicy Chicken and Fish restaurant in Nashville, Tenn. Hot chicken — fried chicken with varied amounts of seasoning that make the heat level run from mild to extra-hot — is a signature dish of Nashville.

I’ve done. I’m standing on the shoulders of somebody else.”

Many of Nashville’s hot chicken restaurants are family-run. Like Prince’s, the chicken recipe at Bolton’s Spicy Chicken & Fish — the restaurant that made the appearance in the B.o.B.-Swift video for “Both of Us” — has been handed down from one generation to the next. Dollye Ingram-Matthews, who owns Bolton’s with her husband, Bolton Matthews, thinks there’s a reason it’s become a Nashville tradition.

“Probably because it’s nowhere else and you have to have experience with it to know what you’re doing,” she said. “It’s not something you can say, ‘I’m going to open up a restaurant and da da da da da.’ You have to have experience with the pepper to make sure it comes out.

Because if not, you’re going to have a lot of errors with

your cooking.”

The same is true for the customer. Ordering errors occur all the time. It’s best to start low. Hot is over the limit for most people, Ingram-Matthews says. And mild is hotter than what most chain restaurants consider spicy. Anyone who orders extra hot is asked if they’re a first-timer and politely instructed to start at a lower temperature if so.

And, of course, there’s a little danger involved if you don’t take the encounter with the fiery pepper seriously.

“With the dry rub, wash your fingers,” she said.

“Wash up under your nail beds. Do not touch your eyes. And definitely wash your hands before you use the bathroom.”

Ingram-Matthews has plenty of advice. But don’t bother asking her for the family recipe.

“They say, ‘What is the secret to your recipe,’ and

1/8 cup chopped fresh chives In a medium pressure cooked over medium, heat the oil until shimmering.

Add the shallot and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until translucent. Increase heat to high and add the rice, stirring to coat. Toast the rice, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until evaporated.

Add the broth and a pinch each of salt and red pepper flakes. Stir until the mixture comes to a simmer, then lock on the pressure cooker’s lid. Set a timer for 9 minutes.

Bring the cooker up to full pressure, then reduce the heat to maintain that level.

Cook until the timer goes off.

Take the cooker off the heat and wait 3 minutes, then put the pot in the sink and run cold water over it to release the pressure. Open the cooker; the rice should be creamy. Return the pot to the stovetop over medium heat. Add the butter, asparagus, cheese and chives. Stir until heated through and the butter and cheese have melted. Season with salt and pepper.

Rome is eternal. Tuscany’s terrific. But there’s lots more to Italy. And every region has its own trademark wines.

Picture yourself in the Pulia region, a long peninsula at the southeast tip of Italy, between the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Mapmakers say that, if Italy is shaped like a boot, then Pulia is its heel.

Imagine an outdoor café in a small town of sunblasted, whitewashed buildings, with sandy beaches stretching down to the sea.

Lunch arrives — antipasto platters of boiled octopus, raw calamari, tomato bruschetta, then a “second plate” of pasta with tomato-rabbit sauce, finally the main course of skewered lamb and sausage and veal.

Taste the potent, inky red wines they serve with them. These wines, from the Salento province in southernmost Pulia, are from native Italian varietals including negroamaro, primitivo and aleatico, all powerful reds.

If you visit, you might help pick those grapes.

Pulia is deeply into the “Agriturismo” system in which big farms, including wineries, host visitors in fancy rooms, feed them local foods and let them help with the farm work.

An important local farm and winery is Masseria Li Veli, founded in 1999 by the Falvo Family. Here are some of its wines:

Assisi is in Umbria, southeast of Florence and Tuscany.

Winemaking here dates back to Roman times, and the sagrantino grape was born here, probably a natural cross of other local red grapes.

Here are some examples:

2006 Tenuta CastelBuono Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG Trento, Italia: deep purple hue, aromas and flavors of black raspberries, espresso and cloves, firm tannins; $37.

I served this in a wooden serving tray so things wouldn’t roll off in the transport, but it would also be pretty on a large platter. The trick is to just pile the lettuce in the middle and then arrange all the ingredients around the edge so people can put whatever they like on their salad.

This is great if there are kids around so they can just pick the parts they like (read: cheese and bacon) and adults, too, can forgo the parts that don’t agree with their palates or dietary restrictions.

Serve with a jar of homemade runny ranch dressing.

Perfection.

Homemade Ranch 1 cup mayo 1/2 cup sour cream 3/4 cup buttermilk 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon chives, minced 2 teaspoons minced dill Dash of hot sauce 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon white vinegar Stir well, chill, and serve.

Beautiful, but simple. My favorite kind of party dish.

NASHVILLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SIGNATURE DISH, HOT FRIED CHICKEN, is so fiery it will leave your mouth in shock and is a flavor you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t soon forget.

The fiery, flavorful chicken recipe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken over Nashville

By Chris Talbott Associated Press

NASHVILLE, TENN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Most folks know Memphis for its barbecue and Philly for its cheesesteaks, but how about Nashville and its hot chicken?

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never tried this fried chicken so fiery it will leave your mouth in shock. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a flavor you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t soon forget.

Born as cheap, flavorful fare for Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working class community and offered late into the night for its party-goers, hot chicken has long been a staple in town. But its reputation has grown in recent years.

Taylor Swift and B.o.B. even featured one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best known hot chicken shops in a video they did together.

At heart, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fried chicken that gets finished with a potent

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and nearly always secret â&#x20AC;&#x201D; blend of dry, peppery seasonings (paprika and cayenne are common, though thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the start). But that oversimplifies things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? James McNew, hot chicken fan and bassist for New Jersey indie rock band Yo La Tengo, says of the recipe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some kind of combination of love and hate. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure of the measurements, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s half and half or not.â&#x20AC;?

McNew and husband-wife bandmates Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley have been coming to Nashville for almost two decades. For the music, of course. And the chicken.

They sing its praises to anyone who will listen. They even named two songs in honor of their love for Princeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hot Chicken Shack, which has

been serving up searing hot chicken since sometime during the 1940s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something different,â&#x20AC;? said Andre Prince Jeffries, second-generation owner of Princeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a boring chicken. I mean, you wake up on this chicken. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna talk about it.â&#x20AC;?

And talk about it they do.

The members of Yo La Tengo heard about hot chicken from another band that already had fallen for it. They visited the humble strip-mall home of Princeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in north Nashville, far from the trendy districts, and were immediately enchanted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really was love at first sight,â&#x20AC;? Kaplan said during a recent interview at Princeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even before we tasted it. It was obviously unique.â&#x20AC;?

PUBLIC NOTICE CONTINUED ON 6

Dear Annie: I have been dating my boyfriend for four years. We both have children from our previous relationships and share custody with our exes. Until recently, we had our kids on the same weekends. Then my boyfriend’s ex decided that her children cannot be here when my 11-yearold son is staying over.

Because my son is the oldest, he tends to be blamed whenever the kids do inappropriate things.

But kids pick up all kinds of things in school and from other adults. I feel my son is being blamed unfairly. I have heard my boyfriend’s children say and do things they should not be allowed to do, but I seem to be the only one who notices. My boyfriend makes excuses for their behavior, but if my children misbehave, he is quick to let me know that I need to discipline them.

The major problem is his 9-year-old daughter,

who wants to be the center of attention when she is around her dad. She becomes upset, demanding and controlling, and she recently began sassing me.

I love his children and take care of them as if they were my own. I understand the need for them to have individual time with their parents, but I’d also like them to learn how to get along with each other.

I blame my boyfriend for letting his ex control the situation. Am I overreacting? — Confused and a Little Sad Dear Confused: You

Sitcom stars gather for ‘Parents’ Stars of sitcoms past appear in something new that feels very old. “How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)” (8:30 p.m., ABC) stars Sarah Chalke (“Roseanne,” “Scrubs”) as Polly, a sensible wife and mother who abandons her goofy, irresponsible husband, Julian (Jon Dore), to move back with her middle-aged but freespirited parents, Max and Elaine (Brad Garrett, “Everybody Loves Raymond,” and Elizabeth Perkins, “Weeds”).

Polly’s parents’ eccentricities are told in a series of flashbacks narrated by their exasperated daughter. Hedonists who never left the 1970s, they speak freely about the “key party” orgies of their youth. Elaine describes her youthful promiscuity as a point of pride. The habit of sharing too much information reaches a dreadful extreme when Elaine describes the aesthetic effects of Max’s testicular cancer surgery.

The new reality series “Forever Young” (9 p.m., TV Land) features groups of 20-somethings and septuagenarians learning to collaborate during a scavenger hunt.

Fans of “Doctor Who” star David Tennant can catch him in the costume-drama espionagethriller miniseries “Spies of Warsaw” (8 p.m., BBC America, concludes next Wednesday). He’s an aristocrat, wounded veteran and French diplomat who falls madly for a married Parisian lawyer (Janet Montgomery) on the eve of World War II. Their complex efforts to ferret out secrets from German informants take a backseat to romantic melodrama and fancy clothes.

Tonight’s other highlights

Finalists sing from the classic rock songbook on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

Down for the count on “Arrow” (7 p.m., CW).

A vision of the future on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

“NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS) examines the discovery of a 2,000-year-old astronomical calculator, considered the earliest “computer.”

A SWAT team arrives on “Boston’s Finest” (8 p.m., TNT).

Prisoners escape, sending the city into turmoil on “Bomb Girls” (8 p.m., Reelz).

A killer in the forest on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

A rookie to train on “Chicago Fire” (9 p.m., NBC).

are on shaky ground when it comes to telling your boyfriend and his ex how to arrange their visitation schedule. It is not unreasonable for the mother to prefer that her kids have time with Dad without your children around. We think you should try to make friends with the ex so you can work on getting the kids together for holidays and special occasions.

They will be less belligerent toward one another (and toward you) if they don’t have to compete for their father’s attention at every visit.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, April 3: This year you meet heavy demands, but the responsibilities cause you to be curt or touchy. Others can’t always identify with your ideas and actions. If you are single, you might want to find someone who is just as busy as you are. If you are attached, make sure that you include your significant other in your plans as much as you can.

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) Whether you’re dreaming or at an event, you are on the move.

You feel passionately about the direction in which you are heading.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You see life from a different perspective than many other people. As much as you might try to detach, your inner voice will scream passionately about the matter at hand. Tonight: Pursue a favorite pastime.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) A meeting or get-together could give you quite a start-up kick, which will charge the remainder of the day. Talk to a dear friend in order to gain a different perspective. Tonight: Share news.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out to someone you care about. You might be surprised by what happens when you hear this person’s news and rationale for his or her reactions.

Tonight: Return calls and emails.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) A call or a message triggers a lot of action. Someone might be more irritated than you’d originally thought. Tonight: Off to the gym.

fix. She constantly chews gum with her mouth open and looks like a cow.

I find it amazing that our administrators, who deal with her daily, have never mentioned this to her. I purposely turn my music up a bit louder to drown out the sound. She and I do not have a good relationship, so I cannot think of a way to mention this without upsetting her.

The stress it causes me is giving me a headache. It is gross and unprofessional.

Any suggestions? — Pro in Pennsylvania Dear Pro: You have nothing to lose by asking her nicely to please not chew gum when dealing with the customers, because it is unprofessional, as well as unappealing to see and hear. You also could talk to human resources or a supervisor about instituting a behavior and dress code to cover such things. It is often easier than singling out one particular employee. jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your creativity emerges when faced with a problem. Stay centered, and understand that you will need to resolve this issue. Tonight: Ever playful.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take a step back and observe. See how others handle a domestic issue. Tonight: At home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Say what you want, but do consider the reactions you might get as a result. Look beyond the obvious and past your objectives.

Tonight: Let a discussion continue.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be sure of your financial decisions. Do some fact-checking if needed. Tonight: Run an errand or two.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll see a situation in a new light, and you will be ready to make a move. If you do, others might feel left out, and you could have a lot of apologies to make. Tonight: Take a midweek break from your day-to-day routine.
