Ordinance targets vehicles in front of South Park ———

City to consider making it illegal for campers to park in some public spots downtown

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Happy campers are beginning to make city officials less than happy.

Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday will consider approving a new ordinance that will make it illegal for two longCITY term camp- COMMISSION ers to set up make-shift living quarters in public parking spots in front of South Park.

“Massachusetts Street is not meant to be a mobile home park, for sure,” Mayor Bob Schumm said.

At their weekly meeting, commissioners will consider an ordinance that will make it illegal to park camping trailers,

6 mobile homes condemned, some families displaced for safety risks

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

City inspectors have declared a half-dozen trailers in a North Lawrence mobile home park unfit for habitation, leaving several families scrambling to find a place to stay.

An assistant city attorney said inspectors found raw sewage being discharged onto the ground at several trailers at Riverview Trailer Park, 827 Walnut St. “The conditions at the park pose a significant health and safety risk not only to the people who live there but also to people who are just visiting the properties,” said Chad Sublet, an as-

sistant city attorney.

The city also found large amounts of trash, tires, metal, appliances and other items dangerously stored on the properties.

Sublet said he anticipated other trailers may be declared unfit for

habitation in the future.

On Friday, the city was in the process of obtaining administrative search warrants to enter several trailers to search for code violations related to health and safety issues.

Sublet did not have ex-

TOPEKA — Someone in Kansas is a whole lot richer, but that person’s identity remains a mystery.

The Kansas Lottery on Friday announced that a Kansas resident claimed the largest jackpot ever but wants to stay anonymous.

The winner shared in the record-breaking $656 million Mega Millions jackpot drawn last week.

The two other winning tickets were sold in Maryland and Illinois.

The winning Kansas ticket, purchased in Ottawa, was worth $218.6 million, but the winner took the cash option, which is $157.9 million and will become about $110.5 million after taxes are withheld.

Kansas Lottery Executive Director Dennis Wilson said the winner “was just in awe that they won it” and planned to retire with the winnings.

In February, Kansas University student and Lawrence native Sarah Stern achieved one of her study abroad goals: meet the president of Paraguay.

And then when she got home, she checked her voice mail to learn she was also selected one of Glamour Magazine’s “Top 10 College Women.”

“It just keeps getting better,” said Stern, a journalism and Latin American studies junior. “I’m in shock.”

Stern, 21, went through a rigorous application process, including multiple phone interviews, for the honor, and was awarded $3,000. Contestants were evaluated for their academic and other community achievements.

Stern has been involved in a variety of volunteer activities in Lawrence, and was awarded the Douglas County United Way’s Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer Award in 2008. In college,

“We have been working with them to find alternative housing,” Sublet said. “The last thing we want to do is displace families with children.”

Specifically, the ordinance will prohibit camping-oriented vehicles in spots on: Massachusetts Street between 11th and South Park streets; South Park Street from Vermont to New Hampshire streets; and Vermont Street from South Park to 11th streets.

The ordinance would allow for a $50 fine each day. After a second offense, the city would be authorized to tow the vehicle.

clined to give her name.

Attempts to reach Warren were unsuccessful.

Sublet said city inspectors have attempted to work with Warren on several issues at the park during the last three years.

But when inspectors were at the property earlier this week they found raw sewage being discharged on the ground.

“We really had to take immediate action at that point,” Sublet said.

Several residents of the park said they expected city inspectors to be back at the property Monday morning with warrants to do interior searches of trailers whose owners did not consent to searches earlier in the week.

Some residents on Friday were arranging to have electricians and other contractors come to the units in hopes of repairing them to the point of passing a health and safety code inspection.

The manager of the park said she didn’t know what the future will hold for the park.

“The owner said he would be willing to fix what the city says needs to be fixed, as long as they are reasonable,” the manager said.

sistance because the residents weren’t a victim of a fire, natural disaster or other such event.

Sublet said the city had been working to connect several of the residents with the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, which does offer some housing assistance.

“Everybody is doing everything they can, but it has been difficult,” Sublet said.

Several residents at the trailer park said they were worried about possibly losing their homes.

“We’re all thinking we’re going to end up in tents out at the lake or, even worse, out at the shelter,” said an eightyear resident of the mobile home park who declined to give her name.

The property is owned

by California resident George L. Warren. A woman who identified herself as the manager of the park said she had only taken over management of the facility in late March, and said there were significant problems at the park.

“I took over a mess,” said the manager, who de-

were drawn March 30, the person didn’t realize their ticket was a winner until Monday by checking the numbers online, Wilson said.

“They checked it over 10 times to make sure they were reading it right,” he said.

The Kansas ticket was purchased at Casey’s General Store 2688, which is located at 940 N. Main in Ottawa, lottery officials said. Telephone calls to the store could not go through Friday because the line was busy.

Robert Pizzini, district manager of Casey’s General Store, was on hand at the Kansas Lottery news conference to receive a $10,000 bonus check that goes to the store that sells the winning ticket.

“It’s exciting for Casey’s,” he said. But, he said, he didn’t know who at Casey’s may have sold the winning ticket, which was a $1 computer-generated “quick pick.”

Wilson said the winner plays various lottery games, but doesn’t spend much.

One of the big winners is not anonymous: the state of Kansas. Of the taxes taken out of the winnings, the state will receive $7.9 million.

During the news conference, lottery employees blew horns, threw confetti and had cake and punch. After the event, another person came in with a winning ticket from Franklin County, where Ottawa is located. This ticket was worth $100,000.

“Franklin County is hot,” one lottery employee said.

mid-2011, he estimated. At least one other individual regularly uses a parking spot as a camping spot.

City code currently allows the longer-term parking of vehicles in nonresidential areas, as long as the vehicles are moved from the parking spots at least every 48 hours.

Tanner said he complies with that requirement and resents the city for trying to disrupt his living arrangements.

“They want me to lose everything I own so I have to lay in that (homeless) shelter and sleep in slop,” Tanner said.

“They don’t like it when somebody like me pulls themselves out of the gutter.”

Tanner does have an acrimonious history with Lawrence City Hall. Most notably, Tanner was responsible for building a homeless camp on city property near the Kansas River, just north of the Santa Fe Depot. The city

razed those structures in 2008, and Tanner has said repeatedly that he has never forgiven the city for those actions.

City officials, though, said they have had several complaints in recent weeks about Tanner and the other man who are living next to the park and playground area. Schumm said he thinks there are potential health concerns by allowing the activity, such as the potential for inappropriate disposal of sewage.

In a November JournalWorld article, Tanner said he used city facilities — such as the nearby Community Building — for showers and other basic services.

Schumm said he has asked city staff members to research whether there are other areas people could legally park their campers in the city. Schumm said if there are not, the individuals could rent space in a mobile home park or campground area.

“The city streets don’t owe them a long-term camping spot,” Schumm said.

Commissioners will meet at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

Stern also just finished up her first photography book featuring her time in Brazil last year, and proceeds from the book will benefit charities in the town of Rocinha. In 2011, Stern received a William Randolph Hearst Award nomination for her photography work in Rocinha.

Stern will spend a little time in Lawrence before going back to Paraguay to finish the semester.

BRIEFLY Sunflower principal announces resignation Sue Hosey resigned Friday from her position as principal of Sunflower School.

Hosey had been in the position for more than three years but is leaving to explore other professional opportunities.

“I will truly miss the students at Sunflower Elementary,” Hosey said.

“Being Hosey their principal for the last three years has been a privilege, and I know I learned more from them than any SCHOOLS knowledge they could have received from me.”

Hosey will finish the school year, with the resignation taking effect June 30.

With 24 years of experience as a principal and nine years of experience as a teacher, Hosey is uncertain what she will do next.

But she is sure she will remain in education.

“I’m not sure yet where my path will lead, but I know that being around kids is, for me, like needing oxygen,” she said.

“I will always be involved in some capacity with the education of children.”

Superintendent Rick Doll expressed gratitude for Holey’s time at Sunflower.

“We appreciate Sue’s service to Sunflower Elementary School,” he said. “She has helped the staff foster a student-focused learning environment and maximize student achievement opportunities.”

Lawrence Public Schools will soon launch a search for a new principal.

Kerfuffle over court closings O’Neal, Nuss disagree on proper use of funds

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — House Speaker Mike O’Neal on Friday said the state judicial system shouldn’t shut down for five days, but instead should use a reserve of attorney fees until the Legislature approves a budget.

But Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss said that would be unfair.

“If we’re going to be intellectually honest about it, then someone should go to our firefighters and say you got to pay for your

own fire trucks because you’re the only ones who drive them,” Nuss said.

“And you should go to our police officers and say the same thing. You’re the only ones who drive your patrol vehicles and

you’re the only people we know who actually put people in the jails, so you should pay for your own vehicles and your jails,” he said.

Nuss said that wouldn’t be fair because the courts are open for all Kansans and not just for the benefit of attorneys.

Earlier this week, Nuss announced he will order five court closure dates because the House and Senate last week failed to approve a supplemental budget that included $1.4 million needed by the judicial system to make payroll through June 30, the end

of the fiscal year. An agreement on the budget seemed imminent and then unraveled at the last minute before legislators went on their annual break.

The furloughs would affect 1,500 workers and start next Friday, April 13, and occur every other Friday after that for a total of five days.

O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, however, said the court could tap into reserves of other funds until the Legislature approves a budget when the 2012 session reconvenes April 25.

KU group investing in campus trees

A new fund, set up through the KU Endowment Association, is just launching, said Jeff Severin, director of KU’s Center for Sustainability.

In an ideal world, the fund would provide enough for a full-time staff person to maintain an ongoing program, replacing trees as needed as well as keeping up with other maintenance.

Faulty reports inflamed reaction to Florida shooting

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

The tragic shooting death of a Florida teenager by a neighborhood watch volunteer has triggered protests throughout the country and hearings in our nation’s capital and provided fodder for those who want to inject racism into the picture.

The Florida teenager was African-American, and the watchman is Hispanic.

The fatal shooting happened several weeks ago, with the young man’s body remaining in the morgue for several days before his family was notified.

Police did not detain the watchman, saying he had acted in selfdefense under the “stand your ground” concept. Florida officials have not said whether they intend to arrest or prosecute the watchman.

Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, the tragic shooting added sparks to an already highly combustible racial tinderbox where some seem to be looking for almost any excuse to ignite dangerous racial reactions.

In far too many situations like this, first reactions, first charges and countercharges and first ex-

planations are based on inaccurate or incomplete information.

And, in too many situations, these first reactions can set an inaccurate stage that can spark careless and harmful reactions.

Unfortunately, some of the early news reports of the shooting failed to give an accurate description of the actions of the watchman and the young man or police officers. Whether or not these reports were flawed accidentally or on purpose remains to be determined, but they added to the explosiveness of the situation.

NBC radio officials have acknowledged they edited or censored the initial conversation between the watchman and police officers when the watchman called to tell officers he was following a suspicious-acting individual. Police officers asked if the person was “black, white or Hispanic,” to which the watchman responded, “He looks black.”

The NBC radio report was trimmed, edited or censored to suggest the watchman volunteered to police, with no prompting or question, that the young man was black.

This caused many to claim the

shooting was due to racial profiling, which, in turn, resulted in the massive outbursts condemning the watchman and claiming it was a case of racial bias.

It is a clear case of editing or censorship, not likely an accident. The big question is, why?

Was someone trying to inject racism or trying to incite the public?

COMMENTARY The same could and should be asked about the ABC television report that tried to present a inaccurate picture of the watchman. ABC TV pictures showed the watchman getting out of a police car and waking around in an enclosed garage.

TV commentators pointed out there was no sign of a head injury or blood even though a witness to the accident claimed the teenager had punched or knocked the watchman to the ground and pounded his head into the sidewalk. The announcer emphasized they had made a close and careful examination of the pictures and that there

was no evidence of injury.

Later, in the same, or very similar television pictures, showing the same scene, viewers could see a bloodied head and were told there was blood on a shirt. Also, reports said the watchman had been cleaned up a bit before getting to the police station.

The point is, the media, this time NBC and ABC, gave an inaccurate report.

NBC spokespeople merely said “an error” had been made in the production process.

ABC hasn’t said what happened in the report that a close, careful examination of their TV picture showed no evidence of blood.

True, mistakes are bound to happen, but in a case so sensitive as a shooting that resulted in the death of a black teenager by a volunteer Hispanic watchman, extra care could be taken to make sure the information presented by the news media is accurate.

There already is enough public skepticism about the media and its accuracy or fairness. Situations such as the NBC and ABC reports on the Florida shooting

do nothing but provide added evidence for those who question the honesty of the media.

Some on the print media side will be quick to suggest radio and television are more in show business than news reporting, but instances of inaccuracy and dishonesty cannot be marginalized or tolerated.

Editorials and opinion are one thing, but facts are facts, and what NBC and ABC did was wrong, wrong as can be, and because of this supposed carelessness or deliberate editing, the shooting tragedy has escalated to an even higher, more dangerous level of anger, mistrust and racial tension.

Police and law enforcement officials already face a tough, delicate job in handling this case, but it was made even more difficult by the conflicting news reports.

Will their actions be tempered or swayed by the intense pressure now being exerted?

The only way to resolve this situation is for the law to be followed in an open and honest way.

Again, the erroneous initial news reports by NBC and ABC have made this task more difficult.

Man, 38, guilty of murder in cheerleader’s death

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

GREAT BEND — Jurors convicted a central Kansas man of capital murder on Friday in the killing of a 14-year-old cheerleader whose charred body was found at the asphalt plant where the he worked.

Adam Longoria, 38, stood and stared straight at jurors, wearing a blank expression as the judge polled each of them to confirm the decision. The jury had deliberated less than four hours after closing arguments capped six days of testimony about the August 2010 killing of Alicia Debolt.

Prosecutors aren’t seeking the death penalty, but a

capital murder conviction carries a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Sentencing is June 8.

Alicia was last seen alive when she left her home in Great Bend for a party just before midnight on Aug. 21, 2010. Her family reported her missing the next day, setting off a search that ended three days later when her remains, with traces of duct tape on her ankles and face, were found at the Venture Corp. plant.

Alicia’s remains were so badly burned that the coroner had to rely on dental records to identify her.

Investigators later found a barrage of text messages between Alicia and the then-36-year-old Longo-

ria, who began pursuing the girl after meeting her at a party in July 2010.

Family members clutched tissues and cried as the verdicts were read, and later released a statement saying the day marked justice for Alicia.

The family also urged parents to talk to their children even if they got pushback and told teenagers to be wary of adults seeking their friendships, warning: “It may feel good to have the attention but ask yourself, ‘Why would someone much older than me not want to spend time with people their own age?’”

Defense attorneys left the courthouse through a back door, avoiding reporters. Prosecutor Kevin

O’Connor told reporters that the evidence against Longoria “was overwhelming.”

During his closing argument earlier Friday, O’Connor reminded jurors of the age disparity and noted the hundreds of text messages that Longoria exchanged with Alicia, underlining the man’s obsession with the teen. Some of those messages showed that he picked her up the night she disappeared and that she thought she was going to a party.

The prosecutor noted Longoria’s semen was found mixed with Alicia’s DNA in his vehicle. To find Longoria guilty of capital murder, jurors had to determine he committed

criminal sodomy, aggravated criminal sodomy or attempted rape during the killing. Jurors decided he committed all three, and also found him guilty of vehicle burglary and theft.

Other evidence indicating Longoria was involved in Alicia’s grisly death included gasoline on his gym shoes and video surveillance showing him buying gas the night she disappeared.

In a news release, O’Neal said a specific fund available is called the Bar Discipline Fee Fund.

“The Supreme Court has the authority to use the Bar Discipline Fee Fund as they deem appropriate,” O’Neal said.

“It is disappointing to me that the court would furlough employees rather than take advantage of the estimated $3 million currently at their disposal in this fund.”

be about $25,000, Severin said.

A new tree advisory board, consisting of several members of the campus community, will work on that and other issues in the future.

The board also will allow KU to apply for designation as a Tree Campus USA, a sister program for the longstanding Tree City USA designation. Baker University in Baldwin City received designation as a Tree Campus for the first time this year.

Robert Hagen, field education coordinator for KU’s environmental studies department, is on the new tree board.

Q:

give the Kansas Supreme Court ultimate authority on how to use that fund.

The Bar Discipline Fee Fund is made up of an annual registration fee of $175 paid by every Kansas attorney.

Nuss said the fund is used to pay for the Office of the Disciplinary Administrator, which reviews and investigates complaints against attorneys. The office annually reviews about 1,000 complaints.

It also funds a program that reimburses clients for problems caused by the dishonest conduct of Kansas attorneys.

Another program fund-

ed by the Bar Discipline Fee Fund is one that assists lawyers who are experiencing personal difficulties that are harming their practice.

“It is not available for ongoing judicial branch operations,” Nuss said.

Earlier this year, the House Appropriations Committee considered using the Bar Discipline Fee to cover the judiciary shortfall, which has been caused by lower-than-expected case filings.

Martha Coffman, general counsel for the Office of Judicial Administration, however, said there were several problems with that plan.

“There’s a great deal of concern about trees,” he said.

Diseases and insects are threatening pine and ash trees on campus, while other trees are simply aging.

“There are some beautiful (ash trees) in front of Watson Library and Fraser Hall,” he said. “They’re in serious trouble.”

The group sponsored a recent event that was attended by KU’s chancellor that replanted some redbud trees along Jayhawk Boulevard. The trees, across Jayhawk Boulevard from Watson Library, had been taken out as part of work on an underground steam tunnel in the area.

Severin said trees have historically been a part of the campus’ natural beauty. Marvin Grove, an area of trees near the Spencer Museum of Art

and Campanile Hill, was once populated by walnut trees planted under the direction of James Marvin, KU’s third chancellor, who served from 1874 to 1883.

Today, that area is one that’s targeted for renewal.

Environmental studies students will help with some parts of the effort.

For example, they’ll put together an inventory of the campus’ current trees.

Severin said the tree board also may recommend policy changes that could address issues such as replacement of trees removed because of construction.

“We don’t have any sort of specific policies for that right now,” Severin said.

Brownback’s chief of staff stepping down KU researchers

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s Chief of Staff David Kensinger is leaving that position but will still be working on behalf of Brownback.

Brownback’s office announced Friday that Kensinger will serve as chairman of Brownback’s policy organization, called Road Map Solutions.

When Brownback campaigned for governor in 2010, he laid out an agen-

Man gets probation for gun shop theft A federal judge Friday sentenced a 19-year-old Leavenworth man to serve five years on probation for his role in a 2011 burglary of a Jefferson County gun shop.

Andrew Michael Amundsen pleaded guilty to one count of burglary and theft of firearms from a federally licensed dealer, and both sides had asked U.S. District Judge Richard Rogers to sentence Amundsen to the probation term.

In the plea, Amundsen admitted that on May 18 he and another man drove to the Winchester Gun and Rock Shop where he cut an exterior power line to disable a security alarm. He then opened a rear door while, he said, a co-defendant stood guard outside. The men took 15 firearms from the store and sold some of them to two men in Leavenworth County for cash and electronics.

According to U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom’s office, Leavenworth County Sheriff’s officers recovered the several of the stolen guns from the buyers a month later.

da that he called the Road Map for Kansas.

“In this role, I will be free to advocate in the public square for policies which will fulfill the goals described in Gov. Brownback’s Road Map for Kansas: private-sector job growth, increased personal income, improved fourth-grade reading scores, expanded opportunities for college-age Kansans and a reduction in childhood poverty,” Kensinger said.

The news release from

the governor’s office doesn’t provide further details about what Kensinger will be doing in this role or whether he will be working on campaigns during the Kansas Republican Party primary in August.

Of Kensinger, Brownback said, “We will miss him but are pleased he will continue to work with us as we work to make our great state even better.”

Kensinger, who has worked with Brownback off and on since 1994, said being chief of staff “has

been my most rewarding opportunity in public service.”

In addition, Kensinger will also be joining U.S. Rep. Mike Pence’s campaign for governor of Indiana. Pence is unopposed in the May 8 Republican primary in that state.

Brownback has promoted Policy Director Landon Fulmer to chief of staff and Operations Manager Jon Hummell to policy director.

2 people seriously injured in U.S. 24 wreck involving semi “

By George Diepenbrock

It was one of the worst ones I’ve seen Two people suffered in quite awhile.” gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

life-threatening injuries early Friday morning when a pickup truck collided with a semitrailer on U.S. Highway 24 northwest of Lawrence.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, Gary Daniel Koelliker, 19, Highland, was driving a pickup west on U.S. 24, just east of Perry. He apparently pulled the 1992 Nissan pickup onto the right shoulder in preparation to make a U-turn.

At the same time, a semi that was behind the pickup moved over into the eastbound lane.

When Koelliker tried to make the U-turn, his pickup crashed into the semi, a highway patrol report said.

Open your heart and home to nursing, orphaned, and special-needs animals by becoming a foster care volunteer. Kitten season is approaching, and we need foster care volunteers to provide hands-on care to the animals until they can be returned to the shelter for adoption.

Open to new and current volunteers, no experience is required! We provide all the supplies you need, you provide a safe and loving environment.

Together we will save lives this year!

Five foster care orientation and training sessions scheduled for April. Please see our events calendar at www.lawrencehumane.org.

To register, please e-mail our volunteer coordinator at volunteer@lawrencehumane.org.

— Jeremy Rodecap, assistant fire chief for Jefferson County Fire District No. 3 Koelliker was taken by ambulance to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka. His passenger, Dyllon Butrick, 20, White Cloud, was flown by Life Star air ambulance to KU Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. The semi-truck driver, John J. Douglas, 39, South Bend, Ind., was not injured.

The accident occurred about 1:45 a.m., and the highway was closed until about 8 a.m., according to Kimberly Qualls, Kansas Department of Transportation spokeswoman.

Jeremy Rodecap, assistant fire chief for Jefferson County Fire District No. 3, was among emergency personnel who responded to the accident.

He said Koelliker and Butrick were ejected from the pickup. The accident report said Koelliker and Butrick were not wearing seat belts but Douglas was.

“It was one of the worst ones I’ve seen in quite awhile,” Rodecap said.

The crash remained under investigation Friday morning. An accident reconstruction team from the Kansas Highway Patrol completed work at the scene about 8 a.m., Rodecap said. Information about Butrick’s condition was not available Friday, and a Stormont-Vail spokeswoman said Koelliker’s family had not authorized the hospital to release his condition.

win lawsuit over patent for drug

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Two Kansas University researchers will have their names added as coinventors on a patent for a successful cancer drug after they won a federal lawsuit.

According to federal court documents, the KU Center for Research brought the lawsuit in 2008 against the National Institutes of KANSAS Health. The UNIVERSITY lawsuit alleged that Val Stella, a distinguished professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, and Wanda Waugh, a research assistant at KU who retired in 1999, were significantly involved in the creation of the drug, Velcade, but were not listed on two patents associated with it.

The lawsuit alleges that the NIH and its project officer on the drug, Dr. Shanker Gupta, asked Stella to research how to make a stable liquid solution for the drug so it could be delivered safely to humans. On Friday, an arbitration panel released its ruling in favor of the KU researchers.

Steve Warren, KU’s vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, said in a written statement on Friday that the ruling fur-

ther confirms KU’s status as a leader in drug discovery, formulation and delivery research.

“Val Stella is internationally known for his work in formulating new pharmaceuticals and for making discoveries that benefit patients and society,” Warren said in the statement. “Professor Stella and research assistant Wanda Waugh coinvented crucial formulations that give Velcade, a highly successful medication for treating blood cancers, long-term shelflife and stability. This ruling ensures they will receive proper recognition for their discoveries, which for Professor Stella are his 35th and 36th patents.”

University officials would not comment beyond the written statement Friday. But in 2008, Warren said the university and the researchers would both be in line to benefit financially if the researchers became coinventors.

At the time, the company Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. exclusively licensed two patents for the anti-cancer drug, and was able to generate revenues from the drug of $265.2 million in 2007 and $220.5 million in 2006.

BEAU

SMURFY

GARFIELD

Everyone says I’m “easy on the eyes,” and please come see for yourself. Whether it’s my handsome face, my physique, or my beautiful brindle coat, I’m a sophisticated 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier, a shade over 50 pounds, and ready to learn from an experienced owner. Cats, other dogs, and even kids aren’t really my thing.

Loyalty and one-on-one love is what this Beau is all about. That’s what I can give, and you know what, that’s a heck of a deal.

Now, take a look over here. No, I’m not blue as my cartoon name might suggest; rather, I have such a beautiful long coat of orange and white adorned with bright light green/blue eyes. My demeanor is laid back and affectionate, but my previous owner mentioned I’d do best in a home with no other pets.

At 9 years old, I’m mature and wellbehaved, and I will make you a great (did I say good-looking?) companion.

A handsome orange tabby, it’s easy to confuse me with my more popular cartoon namesake. But I promise I’m not lazy and won’t cause mischief if you take me home. I’m very friendly and happy. I’m simply looking for a loving family and a forever home.

However, I do love eating and sleeping. I’m 12 years young and house-trained. Oh, and did I mention I LOVE lasagna?

Health care case has Democrats reeling “I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.”

— Barack Obama, on the constitutional challenge to his health care law, April 2 WASHINGTON — “Unprecedented”? Judicial review has been the centerpiece of the American constitutional system since Marbury v. Madison in 1803. “Strong majority”? The House has 435 members.

In March 2010, Democrats held a 75-seat majority. Obamacare passed by seven votes.

In his next-day walk back, the president implied that he was merely talking about the normal “restraint and deference” the courts owe the legislative branch.

This concern would be touching if it weren’t coming from the leader of a party so deeply devoted to the ultimate judicial usurpation — Roe v. Wade, which struck down the abortion laws of 46 states — that fealty to it is the party’s litmus test for service on the Supreme Court.

With Obamacare remaking one-sixth of the economy, it would be unusual for the Supreme Court to overturn legislation so broad and sweeping. On the other hand, it is far more unusual to pass such a fundamentally transformative law on such a narrow, partisan basis.

Obamacare passed the Congress without a single vote from the opposition party — in contradistinction to Social Security,

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Obama was so taken aback, he hasn’t even drawn up contingency plans should his cherished reform be struck down.”

the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, Medicare and Medicaid, similarly grand legislation, all of which enjoyed substantial bipartisan support. In the Senate, moreover, Obamacare squeaked by through a parliamentary maneuver called reconciliation that was never intended for anything so sweeping. The fundamental deviation from custom and practice is not the legal challenge to Obamacare but the very manner of its enactment.

The president’s pre-emptive attack on the court was in direct reaction to Obamacare’s three days of oral argument.

It was a shock. After years of contemptuously dismissing the very idea of a legal challenge, Democrats suddenly realized there actually is a serious constitutional argument to be

made against Obamacare — and they are losing it.

Here were highly sophisticated conservative thinkers — lawyers and justices — making the case for limited government, and liberals weren’t even prepared for the obvious constitutional question: If Congress can force the individual into a private contract by authority of the Commerce Clause, what can it not force the individual to do? Without a limiting principle, the central premise of our constitutional system — a government of enumerated powers — evaporates. What then is the limiting principle?

Liberals were quick to blame the administration’s bumbling solicitor general, Donald Verrilli, for blowing the answer. But Clarence Darrow couldn’t have given it. There is none.

Justice Stephen Breyer tried to rescue the hapless Verrilli by suggesting that by virtue of being born, one enters into the “market for health care.” To which plaintiffs’ lawyer Michael Carvin devastatingly replied: If birth means entering the market, the Congress is omnipotent, authorized by the Commerce Clause to regulate “every human activity from cradle to grave.”

QED. Having lost the argument, what to do? Bully. The New York Times loftily warned the Supreme Court that it would forfeit its legitimacy if it ruled against Obamacare because with the “five Republican-appointed justices supporting the challenge led by 26 Republican gov-

ernors, the court will mark itself as driven by politics.”

Really? The administration’s case for the constitutionality of Obamacare was so thoroughly demolished in oral argument that one liberal observer called it “a train wreck.” It is perfectly natural, therefore, that a majority of the court should side with the argument that had so clearly prevailed on its merits. That’s not partisanship. That’s logic.

Partisanship is four Democratappointed justices giving lockstep support to a law passed by a Democratic Congress and a Democratic president — after the case for its constitutionality had been reduced to rubble.

Democrats are reeling. Obama was so taken aback, he hasn’t even drawn up contingency plans should his cherished reform be struck down. Liberals still cannot grasp what’s happened — the mild revival of constitutionalism in a country they’ve grown so used to ordering about regardless. When asked about Obamacare’s constitutionality, Nancy Pelosi famously replied: “Are you serious?” She was genuinely puzzled.

As was Rep. Phil Hare, D-Ill. As Michael Barone notes, when Hare was similarly challenged at a 2010 town hall, he replied: “I don’t worry about the Constitution.” Hare is now retired, having been shortly thereafter defeated for re-election by the more constitutionally attuned owner of an East Moline pizza shop.

PUBLIC FORUM

Reader disputes view of Kochs

By Ralph P. Reed

While reading Dolph Simons Jr.’s Saturday Column supporting the Koch family (March 31) I couldn’t help but think how much the Journal-World parrots Koch industry guidelines. You say the Kochs are a tremendous asset for our state. I contend they are not, by any means.

You decry the fact that the Kochs are maligned (especially in Kansas) and that “the name Koch, particularly here in Lawrence and Kansas, seems to trigger such angry, passionate and negative responses from a certain segment of the community, particularly among some at Kansas University?”

Among other things, from what I’ve read, the Kochs do not support education at any level unless it’s the “right” kind of education and in the “right” locations. You mention Koch support of cancer research at many locations, but not at KU Medical Center. Why do you list locations elsewhere but not here? If the Kochs are so good for Kansas, why aren’t they using their billions to make KUMC’s classification as a National Cancer Research Center much easier.

You don’t mention the CATO Institute, where you mention Astroturf organizations (groups that appear to be grass-roots but are funded by large corporations).

Granted the CATO Institute leans libertarian, but it also supports same-sex marriage (http://www. cato.org/publications/commentary/moral-constitutional-caseright-gay-marriage) and guest immigrant-worker programs (http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/us-needs-letmore-workers). The CATO Institute opposes sweeping Patriot Act counterterrorism powers, the aggressive use of American military intervention, and the criminalization of drugs. The March 6, 2012, New York Times has an

interesting article citing the many of these things; articles and opeds are also available at www. cato.org.

On March 1, the Journal-World reprinted an AP article outlining the Koch brothers’ attempted takeover of the CATO Institute.

The article reads as if the Kochs were the oppressed — “pity the billionaire” — when in fact they are not. The attempted takeover is a thinly veiled attempt to control the CATO Institute and its research; in essence they want to buy CATO. As a note, Koch donations to CATO dwindled to zero this past Reed year. If they did in fact support CATO as you say, wouldn’t their donations increase rather than dwindle to nothing?

You say the Kochs support Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE), Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and Freedom Works (FW). CSE was not just Kochsupported; it was Koch-founded and industry-supported (85 percent of their money) supporting deregulation. Some of their “citizens” are huge conglomerates, some “too big to fail:” Amoco, GE, GM, Citibank, and so on.

They’re citizens simply because of the “Citizens United” ruling; a ruling, by the way, which makes it rather useless for a true citizen (one person) to donate for a political cause. CSE is now FW because of an internal rift dissolving CSE and creating FW. AFP is an Astroturf front group started David Koch and Richard Fink. As with any other Koch Astroturf organization, AFP opposes labor unions, health care reform, stimulus spending, cap-and-trade legislation (making industries pay

LAWRENCE

for the air pollution they create) and international climate talks.

The AFP, CSE and FW are just some of the front groups funded by the Kochs. Jane Mayer indicated in the Aug. 30, 2010, New Yorker that it’s difficult to know just how much the Kochs have their hand in politics because they’re so slippery and leave no tracks; they dispersed their money, “creating slippery organizations with generic-sounding names.” Sounds like a good, honest, trustworthy family, doesn’t it?

You say Koch Industries follows a list of principles: integrity, confidence, value creation, principled entrepreneurship, customer focus, knowledge, change, humility, respect and fulfillment. The principles you mention are outlined in part of the Koch Market Based Management® philosophy, which you don’t cite. I agree with most of them, however. You say confidence where they use compliance, “100 percent of employees fully complying 100 percent of the time.” There is a distinct difference between the two. Confidence is the internal fortitude to do and fight for what is right; compliance presents a “yes, sir, thank you, sir, may I have another,” attitude. The trademarked “Principled Entrepreneurship” is little more than a self-serving title to make what they do more palatable.

As a note, I see you use the principles as a nice dig against education. This indicates to me you don’t support the public education system in Lawrence, nor do you support having the state fund schools the way they are constitutionally required to. I can only assume you support the ongoing attempts of Gov. Brownback and Speaker O’Neal to grind education (as many other things) under the heal of an autocratic, theocentric plutocracy.

What the Lawrence Journal-World stands for

— Ralph Reed is a long-time Lawrence resident.

Creative state?

To the editor: Maybe Lawrence’s officially defunct moniker of “City of the Arts” should now be regurgitated and revamped to be more inclusive, as the “City of Creativity?”

In a recent Journal-World editorial, it was noted that “A recent $500,000 gift to Kansas University’s School of Engineering is more than just a nice boost to the university’s fundraising efforts,” and that “several state leaders are pushing hard to make the attraction and retention of engineering firms a cornerstone of the state’s economic development strategy.”

In response, the JournalWorld suggests that “Lawrence leaders now need to position the city to capitalize on this movement” and attract “creative business professionals of all types: architects, publishers, designers, programmers and others.”

The editorial concludes with a challenge: that “Lawrence ought to set a goal of becoming the Creative Capital of the Great Plains.”

While this sounds admirable, and not beyond the realm of possibility with the right kind of visionaries taking the reins, let’s include all of the creative arts — including the visual, literary and performing arts — under the banner of “Creative Capital!”

But wait a minute, isn’t this what Gov. Brownback is proposing at a state level with the proposed Kansas Creative Industries Commission?

Becoming a state known for its creativity — and not the creationism kind — might ultimately put us back in the forefront of national debate as a shining example of what’s good with Kansas and reverse the seemingly incessant trend of being the butt of embarrassing jokes.

John Wysocki, Lawrence

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Expect big things from KU duo

Settling in. Again

Now that we’ve seen what the Kansas University basketball team can do when a rare season that doesn’t start with high expectations unfolds, everybody might as well face the facts: Great things will be expected every year from now on, regardless of how the team looks on paper.

With just one starter back, Tyshawn Taylor — who also happened to be the only returning player who scored a point in the team’s last game the previous season — and with the two best recruits declared academically ineligible on the eve of practice beginning, the Jayhawks still advanced to the nationaltitle game.

With Taylor gone and unanimous first-team AllAmerican Thomas Robinson likely to announce any day now his intention to leave for the NBA, where will Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo Kansas turn to replace all KANSAS DEFENSIVE END TOBEN OPURUM, LEFT, CLOSES IN on Iowa State linebacker Jared Barnett during the game Nov. 5, 2011, in that scoring?

Ames, Iowa. A former running back, Opurum seems to have found a home on defense.

Guard Ben McLemore, who was allowed to practice with the team during the second semester this year, is a nice place to start.

FIU fires Thomas after three seasons MIAMI (AP) — Isiah Thomas arrived at Florida International knowing that he was taking a risk.

Three years later, the school didn’t see enough reward.

The Basketball Hall of Fame player was fired Friday

by FIU, after his Thomas teams went 2665 in his three seasons. His hiring came out of nowhere in 2009 — “No one thought we could pull this off,�

FIU director of sports and entertainment Pete Garcia proudly said at the time — and in the end, so did his firing.

FIU announced the decision in a simple three-line statement. “We want to thank Isiah Thomas for his three years here at FIU,� Garcia said. “However, we have decided to take the program in a different direction.�

Thomas told ESPN that he was conducting individual workouts when he got summoned to Garcia’s office for the firing.

Thomas also told ESPN that

Garcia did not give him specific reasons why. “This is the most surprising thing that has happened to me in basketball,� Thomas said. “I (have) never been fired before for basketball reasons. This is the first time.�

If Thomas was shocked, so were some of his players. “Speechless,� said DeJuan Wright, FIU’s leading scorer this past season. “What do I do now...never felt so lost!� FIU guard Tanner Wozniak wrote on Twitter moments after the firing was announced. “Why?�

The simplest answer is that FIU didn’t win.

The Panthers were far from being a basketball power before Thomas arrived after a stint as coach and president of the New York Knicks. The school’s last winning season was the 1999-2000 campaign and its winning percentage of .315 since, according to STATS LLC, is 329th out of 344 Division I men’s programs that competed over the last 12 years.

So FIU turned to Thomas, but never won more than 11 games in any of his three seasons.

COMMENTARY

Saints tape reveals NFL dark side

30/243 /. 46 TODAY

By Mark Purdy San Jose Mercury News

Now we know. The 49ers were not just playoff opponents for the New Orleans Saints back in January. The 49ers also were targets of the infamous bounty system.

Something clicked in my brain Thursday when I heard that audiotape of New Orleans defensive coach Gregg Williams telling his players to “kill the head� and dish out extra pops to 49ers helmets “every time you get off the pile.� I went back in my files. Found what I wanted.

It was my notebook from that game, the game Williams was addressing as he spoke to his defensive unit. That night, after the 49ers’ victory, I went to the locker of offensive tackle Joe Staley. He always has good perspective. Plus, he is pretty open with his thoughts.

As he was this time. Staley spoke about the “surreal� nature of the game’s exciting finish and talked about how exhausted and drained he was.

Then, without prompting, he made another comment about the Saints. “They were cheap, very cheap,� Staley said. “Especially No. 91. All game long.�

The jersey number belonged to Will Smith, a Saints defensive end. Staley wasn’t specific.

But he implied that after whistles at the bottom of piles, more than the usual bad stuff was happening — twisting ankles, slaps to the helmet or the like. I wondered if Staley had retaliated or if he’d said anything to Smith about it when the game was over. “Nah,� said Staley, waving his hand dismissively. “You know, ‘We beat you.’ That’s it. ‘We beat you.�’ In retrospect, however, I am wondering if Smith was demonstrating that little extra heartless touch because it might lead to a bounty payment — or at least because he knew what the Saints’ coaches would be looking for when they studied the game film. As Williams told his men in the audiotape: “It’s a production business.� And if the production required Smith to dislocate someone’s elbow after a whistle, so be it. Right?

Obviously, that’s not how Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, saw it. His severe punishment and suspension of Williams and Saints coach Sean Payton demonstrated that Goodell isn’t messing around.

My hunch is, when many 49ers followers heard Williams’ tape, they were revolted.

It’s one thing to read about bounties for “knockout� blows.

It’s another to actually hear a coach talk about aiming for quarterback Alex Smith’s jaw or Michael Crabtree’s ACL or “killing� Frank Gore’s head. It’s enough to make any person wince. But in truth, it’s not too many clicks on the dial past the usual ruthless pregame rhetoric that many NFL coaches spew at their players every week.

There’s probably a mad dash today in team offices to make sure any existing tapes of similar talks are destroyed.

ARKANSAS FOOTBALL COACH BOBBY PETRINO SPEAKS DURING a news conference Tuesday in Fayetteville, Ark. Petrino was put on paid leave after it was revealed he had a 25-year-old female employee with him during a weekend motorcycle crash.

Petrino reportedly didn’t want 911 call FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. — Moments after their motorcycle accident, Bobby Petrino and a female employee told a passer-by not to call 911, then got a ride back to Fayetteville where the Arkansas football coach was met by a state trooper who provides his personal security during the season.

New details of the immediate aftermath of Petrino’s crash were in a 911 call released Friday by the state police. The passer-by, Larry Hendren, describes coming upon the accident scene Sunday evening Dorrell just after Petrino and Jessica Dorrell “were getting up out of the ditch.� He said Petrino was “walking, but it looked like his face was bleeding quite a lot.� “The rider and the passenger of the motorcycle declined us to call 911,� Hendren told a dispatcher. “They got into a vehicle and headed toward the hospital.�

Petrino was taken to a Fayetteville intersection by another passer-by. There, Dorrell left in her own car while Petrino was met by Capt.

Lance King, his personal security guard during the season. King took Petrino to a hospital, where he was treated for broken ribs and a cracked neck vertebra.

State police said Friday they planned to question the trooper, looking for “any information Captain King may have learned about the crash� during conversations with Petrino. “While the inquiries have no direct correlation to the investigation of the motor vehicle crash, the questions are legitimate and worthy of answers,� state police spokesman Bill Sadler said.

King has been asked to detail “his involvement with coach Petrino and other individuals who’ve been identified within the crash investigation.�

The developments came as Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long considered the future of the football coach, whose salary averages more than $3.5 million.

Long appears to have everything he needs to fire Petrino, but the question now is whether he will actually get rid of Petrino, who failed to

mention having Dorrell with him during the accident and then admitted the two previously had an inappropriate relationship.

What has him in trouble is his attempt to keep anyone from finding out he was riding with Dorrell, a 25-year-old former Arkansas volleyball player who he hired just last week. A clause in Petrino’s contract gives Long the right to suspend or fire the 51-year-old coach for conduct that “negatively or adversely affects the reputation of the (university’s) athletics programs in any way.�

KU baseball Royals falls at OSU drop J-W Staff Reports

STILLWATER, OKLA. — Oklahoma State catcher Jared Womack’s single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning pushed home the winning run to give the Cowboys a 7-6 victory over Kansas University in the series opener Friday night at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.

The Jayhawks, who led by two runs heading into the ninth inning, fell to 1217 overall and 2-5 in the Big 12. Oklahoma State improved to 15-14 overall and 2-5.

KU held leads of 5-0 and 6-4 but could not finish what it started.

Trailing 6-4 in the bottom of the ninth, OSU put the first two men on via a walk and a hit by pitch, which ended the night for KU starting pitcher Frank

Duncan. After a walk by relief pitcher Robert Kahana loaded the bases, Cowboy shortstop Hunter Bailey doubled down the right-field line to tie the score at 6.

After an intentional walk loaded the bases again to set up a force, Womack served a soft single up the middle to plate the winning run. It marked the fourth walkoff loss of the season for the Jayhawks.

The series continues at 2:30 p.m. today.

The game will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Net, available locally on Knology Cable channels 36 and 236.

Baylor sweeps Kansas softball J-W Staff Reports

WACO, TEXAS — Two big innings carried Baylor to a softball doubleheader sweep of Kansas University on Friday at Getterman Stadium.

The Bears, ranked as high as 22nd nationally, used a three-run sixth to claim a 3-0 victory in the opener, then banged two home runs in a four-run fourth in a 6-1 victory in the nightcap.

In the opener, KU freshman Alicia Pille threw five scoreless innings before the Bears (26-12 overall, 3-6 Big 12) strung together a solo home run, a wild

pitch and an RBI single.

Pille (11-6) struck out six and walked just one and allowed six hits for the Jayhawks (23-12, 2-9).

In the nightcap, Maggie Hull homered in the fourth to give KU a 1-0 lead.

opener at L.A.

ANAHEIM, CALIF. (AP) — Jered Weaver struck out 10 in eight dominant innings of four-hit ball, Peter Bourjos’ bases-loaded infield single broke open a scoreless game in the eighth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels won Albert Pujols’ hitless debut, 5-0 over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.

Erick Aybar put a basesloaded triple down the right field line moments after two Kansas City infielders couldn’t handle Bourjos’ chopper, giving a comfortable lead to the Angels after a tense start to Pujols’ tenure.

Los Angeles began a season of enormous expectations with its eighth opening-day win in the last nine years, and even did it with no help from Pujols. The feared slugger went 0-for-3 with an eighth-inning intentional walk after getting several raucous pregame ovations.

“Spring looks great on you!”

UConn transfer considering KU J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University is one of many schools recruiting former UConn power forward Alex Oriakhi, Zagsblog.com reports.

The 6-foot-9, 240-pound junior from Lowell, Mass., will visit Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke and Missouri, Oriakhi’s dad, Alex,

Sr., told the Hearst Media Group. Zagsblog says KU, Xavier, Washington, Ohio State, Virginia and Iowa State are also involved.

Oriakhi is free to play at any school immediately for his senior year because UConn has been banned by the NCAA from all postseason competition next season.

Oriakhi cannot trans-

fer within the Big East, per league rules, and would need to obtain a waiver to play in the SEC for Kentucky, but reportedly could do so if he pursues a course of study that UConn does not offer.

Oriakhi averaged 6.7 points and 4.8 rebounds in 21.5 minutes for UConn last season.

Wyatt said the emerging defensive lineman was far from a finished product.

“Toben’s still developing at that position,” Wyatt said. “He’s only been on the defensive side of the ball for about a yearand-a-half, and he still has a lot of things to learn. It’s not a natural position for him. He said the other day that he had spent a whole decade carrying the football. That’s natural to him.

This is not. But one thing

you’re gonna get from Toben is hard work. He works extremely hard in practice.”

Added Campo: “Toben has a chance to be a really good football player, but at this point he’s still trying to figure out exactly where he is, and we’re trying to do the same thing.”

Opurum has grown accustomed to answering questions about new positions and how he feels in this spot or that. It’s something that comes with the territory, he says, and something that rarely bothers him.

Asked recently — as

he was repeatedly during 2011 — if he finally felt at home in his current spot, Opurum smiled and sighed.

“I feel about 20 times better than when I started,” he said. “That’s all I can do. I can only continue to take steps forward and make sure I’m getting better every day.”

Added Campo: “He really had a good year last year, and we feel like he’s making good progress.

Toben’s doing a nice job, but he has a ways to go, and I think he has a chance to be very successful as an outside linebacker/defensive line type candidate.”

In Lawrence. Only Lawrence.

Rays 7, Yankees 6 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Carlos Pena hit a grand slam off CC Sabathia in the first then completed a ninth-inning comeback with an RBI single off Mariano Rivera that lifted Tampa to a seasonopening victory over New York on Friday.

Rivera (0-1) had been 60 of 61 in save chances against the Rays. But after Desmond Jennings opened the ninth with a single against baseball’s career saves leader, Ben Zobrist tripled home the tying run.

The 42-year-old Yankees closer intentionally walked the next two batters to load the bases and struck out Sean Rodriguez. Pena, who came in 0 for 11 in his career against Rivera, won it by driving a 1-2 pitch off the base of the wall in leftcenter field for his fifth RBI of the game.

TAMPA BAY’S CARLOS PENA, CENTER (OBSCURED), IS SWARMED BY TEAMMATES after hitting the gamewinning RBI single in the ninth inning. The Rays beat the Yankees, 7-6, on Friday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Orioles 4, Twins 2 BALTIMORE — Jake Arrieta pitched seven scoreless innings, Nick Markakis homered and drove in three runs, and Baltimore beat Minnesota to mark the 20th anniversary of the opening of Camden Yards.

Arrieta (1-0) allowed two hits, struck out four and walked two in a 97-pitch performance.

Markakis hit a two-run

homer in the first inning and added an RBI triple in the sixth.

He also walked and scored twice. Jim Johnson got two outs in the ninth for the save.

Carl Pavano (0-1) allowed four runs and five hits over seven innings for the Twins in his third career opening day start.

He issued two walks, and both runners eventually scored.

Rangers 3, White Sox 2 ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Colby Lewis struck out nine in his first opening day start, Ian Kinsler homered, and Texas spoiled the debut of new Chicago manager Robin Ventura.

Kinsler had a leadoff double in the first and scored on a sacrifice fly by Josh Hamilton. Kinsler added a solo homer in the third.

Cardinals 11, Brewers 5 MILWAUKEE — David Freese hit a two-run drive for one of four St. Louis homers off Yovani Gallardo, and the Cardinals spoiled the Milwaukee Brewers’ opener on Friday.

Yadier Molina, Carlos Beltran and Matt Holliday also connected for the Cardinals, who are in Milwaukee for a three-game series after opening with a victory over the Marlins in Miami on Wednesday night.

Gallardo (0-1) struggled with his control from the start and lasted only 32⁄3 innings, giving up seven hits and six runs with five walks and three strikeouts.

Still seeking first major, Garcia lurking at Masters AUGUSTA, GA. (AP) — Sergio Garcia was supposed to shed that “best player never to win a major” label years ago.

Yet here he is, 32 and still searching.

The Spaniard climbed into contention at the Masters on Friday with a 4-under 68 that left him a stroke behind the ageless Fred Couples and Jason Dufner. It’s only his sixth round in the 60s in 14 trips to Augusta National, and third since 2009.

“I don’t know if I’m ready to win. We’ll see,” Garcia said. “I wish I could tell you I’m ready to win, but I really don’t know. So I’m just going to give it my best try, and you know, hopefully that will be good.”

Just 19 when he had a spectacular showdown with Tiger Woods at the 1999 PGA Championship, Garcia was supposed to give Woods a fight for the title of greatest player of their generation. But he’s never been able to live up to his star billing, with an 0-for-53 record in the majors and a psyche perhaps better suited for a therapist’s couch than a major golf championship.

As for his favored status with the fans, which seemed a given when he was a teenager with that catchy “El Nino” nickname, well, he’s put that to the test. He whined about rain and unfairness at Bethpage in ’02, and gave a middle-finger salute to the rowdy New York fans who christened him “Waggle Boy.” After falling apart at Carnoustie, he came across as ungracious when he failed to acknowledge winner Padraig Harrington, one of golf’s class acts.

He even spit in the cup after three-putting at

it reached a boiling point on the par-3 16th when he turned and kicked his 9-iron some 15 yards.

Woods didn’t make a birdie after the third hole and shot 75, his highest score at Augusta since 2004.

“I can do this,” Woods said. “I’ve just got to be patient.”

The eight-shot deficit was not nearly as daunting as the 39 players ahead of him.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a solid 70 Friday and was four-back at 143.

Woodland had five birdies on the day and hit 3-under after birdieing No. 17, but a bogey on No. 18 — which he also bogeyed Thursday — dropped him to 2-under for the day.

Woodland will play today’s third round paired with three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson.

The duo is scheduled to tee off at 11:55 a.m. Central Time.

McIlroy, meanwhile, was only one shot back of the leaders.

The 22-year-old U.S. Open champion started this tournament with a double bogey and has been trending upward ever since. McIlroy made two early birdies and was on his way. He drove the ball with authority, allowing him to take on the flags. With a tough par save on the 18th, he shot a 69.

“I wouldn’t say I’m in a position to win yet, but we’ll see what happens tomorrow,” McIlroy said. “I feel like I’ve played solid golf the last two days — could have been a couple shots better, like probably everyone in the field is thinking. But I’m in a nice position, and I definitely would have taken it after the start yesterday.”

Doral. Asked about the right temperament for golf, Garcia said, “I’ll tell you when I find it. That’s the million dollar question. The right temperament for golf, it doesn’t exist. The guy up top probably has it, but anybody else, I don’t think so.”

That’s not to say he’s been a washout — far from it. His wins last year at the Castello and Andalucia Masters gave him 10 victories on the European

Tour, and he’s got another seven wins on the PGA Tour. He is back up to No. 21 in world rankings after plummeting to No. 85 last year. He’s finished in the top 12 at the last three majors.

While he missed out on last year’s squad, Garcia was undoubtedly a key to Europe’s mastery of the United States in the Ryder Cup all these years. But his days as a phenom are long gone, and he’s still chasing that first major.

Couples won the Masters in 1992 — McIlroy was not quite 3 back then — for his only green jacket, though he seems to give himself a chance whenever he shows up at Augusta. His back has been ailing him for close to two decades. It was so chilly when he teed off Friday that he had every reason to believe he was at the British Open.

But he loves this course more than any other. He knows his way around. He knows how to score. No one — not even Jack Nicklaus — has a lower scoring average at the Masters of those who have played at least 100 rounds.

“Can I win?” Couples said, repeating the question. “I believe I can. Yes.” Couples and Dufner, whose bogey from the bunker on the 18th hole gave him a 70, were at 5-under 139.

Dufner overcame a double bogey on the par3 fourth hole with birdies on two other par 3s. It’s the second straight major where he has been tied for the lead going into the weekend, and he can only hope the outcome is a little different from the PGA Championship last August. Dufner had a fiveshot lead with four holes to play and wound up losing in a playoff to Keegan Bradley.

“Didn’t quite work out, but carried over into this year,” said Dufner, playing the Masters for only the second time. “It gave me confidence that I can compete and play at a high level out here and do really nice things.”

Cold, cloudy conditions gave way to pleasant sunshine about the time Couples revved up the gallery with three straight birdies to close out the front nine. He knocked down a pitching wedge from 105 yards to tap-in range, then rolled in a 35-foot putt up the hill on the ninth. The loudest cheer came on the par-3 16th, when his 18-foot birdie

putt eased down a slope and disappeared.

“A great roar,” Couples said.

As much as he believes he can win, reality sets in Masters Tee Times when Couples looks down At Augusta National Golf Club Ga. the list of players behind Augusta, a-amateur Today him — a lot of them.

Taking a ‘Descendants’ tour of Hawaii

By Peter Magnani San Jose Mercury News

More than 100 movies have been filmed on the island of Kauai. But in most of them, the Garden Isle stands in for someplace else.

In the iconic “South Pacific,” Kauai is the mythical tropical paradise Bali Hai. In “Jurassic Park,” it’s an island off the coast of Central America. In “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” it’s a steamy jungle you don’t want to find yourself in. It’s Africa in “Mighty Joe Young,” Vietnam in “Tropic Thunder,” Venezuela in “Dragonfly” and Australia in “The Thorn Birds.”

Sometimes Kauai is just Kauai, as in Elvis Presley’s “Blue Hawaii” or “Soul Surfer,” the 2011 drama based on the shark attack suffered by athlete Bethany Hamilton.

But “The Descendants” takes Kauai to a whole new level. In the gentle hands of director Alexander Payne, the island becomes a virtual character in the film, much as California’s Santa Ynez Valley wine country did in his earlier film “Sideways.”

Payne reveals the island through the eyes of the people who live there while closely following Kauai native Kaui Hart Hemmings’ novel about lawyer Matt King, who loses his wife but gains a deeper understanding of his family and a new appreciation for the huge parcel of paradise that he holds in trust for them.

A trip in the cinematic footsteps of “The Descendants” provides an intimate look at this languid tropical paradise where, as Hemmings muses in her book, “everything moves at a slow, slack pace.”

Unspoiled Hanalei And Hanalei Bay is an excellent place to start.

The two-mile-long, crescent-shaped beach is where Matt, played by George Clooney, confronts his rival Brian Speer. Despite its broad reach, clean sand and prime location not far from the spectacular Na Pali coast, Hanalei Bay is surprisingly unspoiled, at least in the offseason.

On a Saturday afternoon in February, I saw fewer people than you’ll see in the movie when Matt first spots Brian while out jogging.

About a mile offshore, expert surfers worked the winter break. A few groups ambled along the water’s edge. Some kids defied the “No Swimming” signs to challenge the churning in-shore surf with their boogie boards.

And a couple posed for wedding pictures against the spectacular backdrop of the mountains that hug the bay and the quaint town of Hanalei, with its elegant missionary-era churches, funky shops and excellent restaurants.

Two fishermen tried their luck at the end of the Hanalei pier, easily recognizable from scenes in “South Pacific,” “Donovan’s Reef” and “The Wackiest Ship in the Army.” That was the extent of the activity, from the southern end where the St. Regis Princeville resort hotel perches on the bluff like a cruise ship that ran aground and became entangled in the landscape, to the scraggly low pine-topped Makani Point that forms the bay’s north end. If you look closely, the headland resembles a dragon’s snout resting on the water, while the ridge becomes his humped back.

This is the landscape that once inspired the Peter, Paul and Mary hit “Puff the Magic Dragon.”

A few houses north of the pier is the trim cottage where Matt and Brian have their confrontation in the

ANNIVERSARIES Embrey Orville and Judy Embrey, Republic, Mo., formerly of Lawrence, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a family dinner.

The couple were married March 16, 1962, in Neosho, Mo. Orville graduated from Fairview High School and Missouri Southern University. He worked for Ethan A.

Dear Annie: My 64-year-old brother has refused to talk to my 86-year-old father for nearly 10 years. When our mother died, Dad married a nice Christian widow. He then sold the family home. He and his new wife built a new one in another town.

My brother still thinks Dad should have split the sale profit with his children since half the house belonged to our mother.

As far as I am concerned, Dad was not obligated to do this. By law, my mother’s assets passed to her surviving spouse.

He lives solely on his Social Security benefits and needed the money.

My brother has had multiple sclerosis for 30 years. He and his family struggled financially, and my parents gave them a lot of money over the years to keep them afloat. For my brother to want more is shocking.

My other siblings and I

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

don’t feel entitled to any of Dad’s money.

My brother’s children are grown. When his daughter married four years ago, he didn’t invite Dad to the wedding.

She is expecting a child, and Dad learned about it through other family members. He is deeply hurt by this. Dad’s health is starting to deteriorate.

He has tried to make contact with my brother several times, to no avail.

My siblings are ready to give up. Our brother spends no holidays with us and doesn’t get in

Heston epic endures on Easter eve As it has for decades, the night before Easter belongs to “The Ten Commandments” (6 p.m., ABC). Narrated and directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Charlton Heston, the 1956 Technicolor film is as much about old Hollywood as the Old Testament.

Like Betty White, it has endured. It’s still a constant long after contemporary films and former prime-time stalwarts, including “The Robe” and “BenHur,” have been consigned to the classic movie channels. It’s hard to imagine Easter weekend, or television, without it.

O Viewers in search of something completely different could watch “Holy Flying Circus” (9 p.m., Ovation), a 2011 British film offering a comedic re-creation of the controversy surrounding the Monty Python religious satire “Life of Brian” (1979). More than a parody of the excesses of biblical epics like “The Ten Commandments,” ‘‘Brian” sparked controversy by ridiculing religion in general and Christianity in particular.

It’s always a tad painful to watch actors playing iconic performers.

Bad re-enactments of the lives of deceased “Saturday Night Live” stars or the Beatles come to mind.

One British reviewer took this film to task because actor Darren Boyd was not playing John Cleese so much as his character, Basil, from “Fawlty Towers.”

Tonight’s highlights O Adventures in New York on “Escape Routes” (7 p.m., NBC).

O Annie travels to purgatory on “Being Human” (8 p.m., BBC America).

O Scheduled on “48 Hours Mystery” (9 p.m., CBS): A hit-andrun investigation spans the globe.

Maryland high court hears lesbian divorce case

By Jessica Gresko Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, MD. — Maryland routinely grants divorces for couples who married in other states, and divorces for same-sex couples should be no different, lawyers for a lesbian couple told the state’s highest court Friday.

The case involves two women who were married in California and denied a divorce in 2010 by a Maryland judge who said their marriage was not valid in the state.

Maryland does not currently allow same-sex weddings, but lawyers for the women told the seven-member court that it would be unprecedented for the state not to recognize gay marriages per-

formed elsewhere.

“If you’re validly married somewhere else, the rule in Maryland is your marriage is going to be respected in Maryland, and that’s what we’re asking the court to do here,” said Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights in San Francisco.

Judges in Maryland have been inconsistent about granting divorces for gay couples. Lawyers said judges have granted divorces for about half a dozen gay couples, but their clients and at least two other couples were denied. As a result, some couples are waiting for a ruling from Maryland’s high court before filing for divorce, the lawyers said.

The Court of Appeals’

ultimate decision may have limited effect because same-sex weddings, and by extension divorces, are set to start in the state in January. Opponents of the law passed this year are seeking to overturn it in a potential voter referendum.

The Maryland Marriage Alliance says it has collected 20,000 of the nearly 56,000 signatures needed to get the issue on the ballot.

The high court’s judges asked about that potential referendum and its effect on the current case.

Lawyers said the outcome of any referendum was not relevant. They said it will only address whether voters want to allow same-sex marriages in Maryland, not whether

the state should recognize same-sex unions performed elsewhere.

Even if voters decide not to allow same-sex marriages, state courts should grant divorces for same-sex couples, the lawyers said. They cited Wyoming and New Mexico as states with similar practices.

The case involves Maryland resident Jessica Port and District of Columbia resident Virginia Anne Cowan. Port, 29, and Cowan, 32, were married in California in 2008 during a window in which gay marriage was legal there.

Almost two years later, the couple filed for divorce in Maryland, where they both then lived.

Prince George’s County Judge A. Michael Chapde-

laine declined to grant it.

“The court finds that to recognize the alleged marriage would be contrary to the public policy of Maryland,” Chapdelaine wrote.

Lawyers for Port and Cowan told the Court of Appeals that Chapdelaine was wrong. Maryland has long recognized marriages entered into in other states, they said, even if Maryland itself has barred those marriages. For example, Maryland law bars an uncle and a niece from marrying, but the state will recognize that marriage if it legally occurred in another state.

Unlike other states, Maryland has no ban on recognizing same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions. Moreover, in 2010 state Attorney Gen-

eral Douglas Gansler issued an opinion that said out-of-state, same-sex marriages may be recognized under Maryland law.

As a result, state agencies have extended benefits to same-sex spouses of state employees and issued birth certificates that recognize the same-sex spouse of a woman who gives birth as a parent.

In recent years, judges in Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Texas and Rhode Island have refused to grant gay couples divorces.

Responding to those cases, California and the District of Columbia recently passed laws allowing gay couples married in their jurisdictions to divorce there if their home state will not dissolve the marriage.

Navy jet crashes into Virginia apartment complex; pilots eject

Kennett Humane Department Photo

STEVE BROWN, PRESIDENT of the St. Louis Herpetological Society, holds a young alligator Thursday in Cape Girardeau, Mo. The alligator is one of about 50 allegedly sold by a man passing through southeast Missouri about 14 months ago when the animals were roughly the size of a pencil.

Grown-up gators a challenge for Missouri town

By Jim Salter Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — The 50 baby alligators were cute little critters, each roughly the size of a pencil, when a Colorado man sold them out of a trailer in the parking lot of the Kennett Eagles Club in southeast Missouri.

Fourteen months later, Kennett authorities are worried about what’s become of those animals.

“Now they’ve grown and they’re not cute anymore,” Humane Department officer Tina Petix said. “They’re trying to bite people.”

So Petix is on a gator hunt, hoping to convince any owners that smalltown Missouri life is neither good for the reptile nor the people and pets it may encounter.

So far, three alligators have been located and removed. One woman was keeping two as pets, often in a backyard next to a home where 3-year-old twins live. The other nearly snapped off its owner’s hand.

Petix has no idea how many gators Ken Henderson sold in January and February 2011, when he set up a makeshift shop and sold exotic creatures out of his trailer.

A nearly catastrophic fire in February 2011 ended his stay. Police believe one of the animals kicked over a heat lamp, setting the trailer ablaze. Henderson and rescuers scurried to save the creatures, including iguanas, alligators and a 13-foot python.

“It was like Noah’s Ark,” Petix recalled.

Henderson was treated for burns and some of the animals were injured and turned over to animal rescue groups.

But the extended fallout from the sale of the alligators is less certain.

Petix also doesn’t know how many survived or are even still in Kennett, a town with laws governing exotic pets, including a ban on alligators.

American alligators are

“

He thought it would be a cute pet.

When she went to feed it the last couple of times, it jumped and just about bit her arm. That’s when she said, ‘We can’t do this anymore.’”

— Humane Department officer Tina Petix native to Florida, Louisiana and other southern states, and the closest they come to Missouri in the wild is Arkansas. Winters are simply too cold, said Jeff Ettling, curator of herpetology and aquatics at the St. Louis Zoo. Experts say alligators also are not suited to be pets, in part because they’re expensive to feed.

Baby gators eat crickets and other bugs, but a 1-year-old gator needs several pounds of meat each day.

And, of course, there’s the inherent danger — alligators will eat fish and snakes, but also pets or “anything they can swallow,” Ettling said, and gators often have a nasty attitude.

“As they grow in size, their disposition changes,” Ettling said. “Like a lion cub as it gets big, it’s got wild instincts.”

Petix’s alligator amnesty yielded immediate results last week when a woman brought in a 34inch gator that her father had purchased from Henderson for her teenage son.

“He thought it would be a cute pet,” Petix said.

“When she went to feed it the last couple of times, it jumped and just about bit her arm. That’s when she said, ‘We can’t do this anymore.’”

The alligator was turned over to volunteers with the St. Louis Herpetological Society. It wasn’t clear what happened to the animal after that, and the society didn’t return phone messages.

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. — A fighter jet that malfunctioned just after takeoff hurtled into a Virginia Beach apartment complex on Friday in a spectacular crash that sent flames and black smoke billowing from the rubble.

The two pilots managed to eject just before impact, suffering minor injuries along with five others on the ground. Several residents described hearing a loud explosion and looking out their windows to see the red and orange blaze. In the confusion that followed, two men helped one of the bloodied pilots from the twoseat F18 Hornet move to safety.

“Oh, my God, I heard three really loud explosions, then the black smoke went up high in the sky,” said 71-year-old Felissa Ezell, who lives in a townhouse near the crash site.

By evening, emergency crews were searching through the charred remains of the complex, where some 40 apartment units were damaged or destroyed. No fatalities had been reported.

THE BURNING FUSELAGE of an F/A-18 Hornet lies smoldering after crashing into a residential building Friday in Virginia Beach, Va. The Navy did not immediately return telephone messages left by The Associated Press, but media reports indicate the two aviators were able to eject from the jet before it crashed. They were being treated for injuries that were not considered life threatening.

Naval Air Station Oceana, were taken to a hospital.

All except one of the pilots were released by late afternoon.

Virginia Beach Fire Department Capt. Tim Riley said more than two dozen residents remained unaccounted for, although all but the six most damaged apartments had been searched.

“What I’m praying for,

what I’m thinking about now is that we don’t find any more victims,” Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms told reporters.

The plane had dumped loads of fuel before crashing, though it wasn’t clear if that was because of a malfunction or an intentional maneuver by the pilots, said Capt. Mark Weisgerber with U.S. Fleet Forces Command. The jet went down less than 10 miles from Oceana.

Bruce Nedelka, the Virginia Beach EMS division chief, said witnesses saw fuel being dumped from the jet before it went down, and that fuel was found on buildings and vehicles in the area.

The plane not having as much fuel on board “mitigated what could have been an absolute massive, massive fireball and fire,” Nedelka said. “With all of that jet fuel dumped, it was much less than what it could have been.”

The crash happened in the Hampton Roads area, which has a large concentration of military bases, including Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world. Naval Air Station Oceana, where the F/A-18D that crashed was assigned, is located in Virginia Beach. Both the pilots were from Virginia

Beach, Weisgerber said.

The pilots included a student and an instructor.

Weisgerber said he did not know how many times the student pilot had been in the air, but that the instructor was “extremely experienced.”

Dozens of police cars, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles filled the densely populated neighborhood where the plane crashed. Yellow fire hoses snaked through side streets as fire crews poured water on the charred rooftops of brick apartment houses. By late afternoon, the fire had been put out.

Residents of the apartment complex described a confusing scene and an apologetic pilot.

Colby Smith said his house started shaking and then the power went out, as he saw a red and orange blaze outside his window.

He ran outside, where he saw billowing black smoke and then came upon the pilot as he ran to a friend’s home.

“I saw the parachute on the house and he was still connected to it, and he was laying on the ground with his face full of blood,” Smith told WVEC-TV. “The pilot said, ‘I’m sorry for destroying your house.’”

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable

Americans took out

more loans to buy cars and attend school in February but used their credit cards less frequently for the second straight month.

The Federal Reserve said Friday that consumers increased borrowing by $8.7 billion, the sixth straight monthly increase.

The jump in borrowing was driven by $11 billion increase in the category that mostly measures demand for auto and student loans. Borrowing on credit cards fell by $2 billion after a $3 billion decline in January.

Total consumer borrowing rose to seasonally adjusted $2.52 trillion. That’s nearly at pre-recession levels and up from a postrecession low point of $2.39 trillion reached in September 2010.

Borrowing had tumbled for more than two years during and immediately after the recession.

Consumer borrowing rose by $18.6 billion in January, following similar gains in December and November. The gains for those three months were the largest in a decade.

A rise in borrowing could suggest that consumers are feeling more confident about the economy. However, few are comfortable enough to step up credit card use.

Markets were closed for Good Friday.

U.S. job market takes a break after hiring binge

By Paul Wiseman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. job market took a breather in March after its best hiring stretch since the Great Recession.

Employers added 120,000 jobs last month — half the December-February pace and well short of the 210,000 economists were expecting.

The unemployment rate fell from 8.3 percent in February to 8.2 percent, the lowest since January 2009, but that was largely because many Americans stopped looking for work.

Still, few economists expect hiring to fizzle in spring and summer, as it did the past two years.

And they blamed seasonal factors for much of Friday’s disappointing

DILBERT

report from the Labor Department.

“We don’t think this is the start of another spring dip in labor market conditions,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist with Capital Economics.

The report was also closely watched in political circles. If employers retreat on hiring, consumers could lose confidence in the economy and potentially dim President Barack Obama’s re-election hopes.

Ashworth and other economists cited the weather for the latest jobs report. A warm January and February allowed construction companies and other businesses that work outdoors to hire workers a few weeks earlier than usual, effectively stealing jobs from March.

It helps explain a 7,000 drop in construction jobs.

Alan Amdahl, who has run his own construction company in Sioux Falls, S.D., for three decades, said a mild winter helped contribute to a flurry of new remodeling jobs. He started hiring in January.

“Our winter didn’t really exist,” he said. “It’s just incredible. People didn’t hibernate.”

Economists also say the numbers can bounce around from month to month. Consistently creating 200,000 jobs a month is tough. The economy hasn’t put together four straight months of 200,000 or more new jobs since early 2000.

Economists are still encouraged by the recent hiring trend: Each month from January through March has generated an average of 212,000 jobs.
