A local family with five children is still seeking a new home after city inspectors declared their trailer at a North Lawrence mobile home park uninhabitable last week.

Chris Grammer said he and his wife, Tracy, left their condemned mobile home on April 2 after city inspectors found raw sewage draining onto the ground beneath the trailer.

“It has just torn up the whole family,” said Grammer, who is staying with a friend in Eudora who takes him to his carpenter’s job, while his wife and children stay at a Lawrence motel.

“We don’t want to lose our kids over this. I just wish we could have been given more warning.”

Brian Jimenez, the city’s code enforcement manager, said Monday his office began condemning properties at the Riverview Trailer Park, 827 Walnut St., last week after receiving a complaint from a tenant.

“That complaint led us to another trailer, and that led us to start looking at everything out there,” Jimenez said.

High school graduation dates to change in 2013

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

The tradition of when Lawrence and Free State high school graduates flip their tassels is in for a change.

On Monday, the board approved moving the district’s 2013 graduation date from a Sunday afternoon in late May to a weekday evening.

Free State High School Principal Ed West and Lawrence High School Principal Matt Brungardt rattled off a number of reasons why this move made sense.

In the past, the two high school graduations have been held on the same Sunday afternoon a week or two after Kansas University’s graduation.

It often fell on Memorial Day weekend. The school

district has to coordinate around KU’s graduation so the schools can use Allen Fieldhouse in case of bad weather.

In some cases, the arrangement could mean having graduation up to 12 days after the last day of class, when many seniors have already taken off for the summer.

“If we wait for extended period of time, the seniors become disconnected,” West said.

In light of those issues, the district’s graduation day committee felt it would be better to have graduation on a weekday that closely followed senior’s last day of classes.

The evening hours could also mean cooler weather for the ceremonies.

Last year’s graduation took place in sweltering 90-degree

temperatures with some folks having to leave. And, having the ceremonies on two separate days would make it easier for those who want to attend both graduations.

This school year, graduation is set for May 20, with Free State graduating at 1 p.m. and Lawrence High at 4 p.m. However, those days will change in 2013. One school will hold graduation ceremonies on Tuesday, May 21, and the other will have graduation on Wednesday, May 22.

If the 2013 graduation goes well, the two school principals said a consistent and permanent plan should be put in place.

The board also approved next year’s school calendar.

tary School Consolidation Working Group handed over in late February. For more than six months, the group studied ways to reduce six elementary schools — New York, Cordley, Kennedy, Pinckney, Hillcrest and Sunset Hill — into three or four schools within the next two years.

The working group couldn’t reach consensus.

A little more than half of the members in the group believed the problems caused by consolidation didn’t justify the money it would save. The other side believed closing schools was a valid option but didn’t want to choose which buildings to close.

Ultimately, the entire group agreed the school district needed to ask taxpayers to approve a bond that would help repair and expand existing schools.

Mike Myers, a New York representative, was among those on the working group who advocated for not consolidating schools and was pleased with Monday’s decision.

“I think this is looking forward,” Myers said of board’s decision.

Even those who pushed to consolidate schools, believing it was needed to keep school equitable, weren’t surprised by Monday’s vote. “I think whatever happens, it is important that the board come up with a sustainable, longrange plan for our schools.

The key issues have been laid out there, so it is up to them to deal with those,” Pinckney representative Stacey White said.

“

Not everything is deplorable, but as a whole, we’re dealing with a property that has been neglected for a long time.”

— Brian Jimenez, the city’s code enforcement manager we’ll do it right,” Warren said.

But Grammer said there is much to fix. He said many of the trailers have exposed wiring, leaky plumbing, rotting floors and broken windows.

“The owner is the type of guy who would rather tape something up than fix it,” Grammer said.

But Warren said he had spent thousands of dollars in materials to make repairs at the park.

“From the outside, I’m sure it looks like I’m a slumlord,” Warren said.

“But go to Home Depot and ask them how much I have spent. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars to fix it up.

“I’m a good Christian guy. I feel for the people there. I have taken in people that others won’t, I’m sure.”

Grammer, though, said he hasn’t received any assistance from Warren in finding a new home for his family. Grammer, whose family was given four days by the city to vacate the premises, said his wife has been calling area churches and social service agencies looking for help. The couple have a lead on a $775 per month rental house, but the family doesn’t yet have the necessary deposit and first month’s rent needed to sign a lease. The couple did not receive their security deposit back when they were forced to leave the mobile home.

“We’re still stuck in a bad situation,” Grammer said. “We still don’t know where we are going to go.

It is scary, but I’m going to do whatever I can to get

my kids through this.”

Jimenez said he expects the city to continue working on several issues related to the Riverview Trailer Park. Jimenez said the trailer park recently had its five-year city license to operate as a mobile home park expire. Jimenez said the park is required to pass an inspection before the permit can be renewed.

Jimenez said the city also may be poised to begin a new round of inspections at some other mobile home parks that have been the subject of complaints.

“I think there is at least one other park that we have our eye on,” Jimenez said. “I think we will look at that one pretty quickly.”

Jimenez, who said there are several mobile home parks in the city that are operated well, said mobile homes can incur several code violations in a short period of time because the older units need almost constant maintenance. He also said his office recognizes mobile homes often are filling a void in the low-income housing market.

“It is definitely a balancing act with us,” Jimenez said. “We have to assure the units are safe, but we have hearts like anybody else. We realize that when we find people in a situation like this there are a lot of factors that play into it.”

The Lawrence Public Library will open at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, so that staff may attend the funeral of a colleague.

The library, 707 Vt., will close at its regular time, 9 p.m., on Wednesday.

Trial ordered in hotel incident A Douglas County judge Monday ordered a 25-year-old Eudora man to face aggravated robbery and aggravated assault charges related to a March robbery reported at a Lawrence hotel.

Prosecutors accused Aaron Jacob Coates of using a knife and participating in the robbery of about $1,500 from a 32-year-old man, Mark A. Lawrence, who testified against Coates during Monday morning’s preliminary hearing.

Lawrence claimed Coates and others early on March 5 entered his hotel room at the Days Inn, 730 Iowa, and began accusing him of wearing a wire for law enforcement.

Lawrence testified he was struck in the face and that another co-defendant, Melanie Spanky Faye Brooks, 24, took the money from him as they ordered him to strip out of his clothes.

Assistant District Attorney James McCabria asked for the aggravated assault charge against Coates because another female witness testified on Friday she was in the room and feared Coates would cut her with the knife.

Lawrence was in custody Monday because he faces charges in a 2011 drug case.

District Judge Michael Malone will arraign Coates on April 18.

LAWRENCE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL VOLUNTEER JOANNE HURST takes a phone call from the registration desk next to fellow volunteer Corinne Geddings on Friday. Hurst has been volunteering with LMH for nine years and before that served on the board of trustees.

‘Putting in a few hours can do so much for someone else’

By Emily Strom

In 1978, Lawrence volunteer Hilda Enoch approached her neighbor with an offer she couldn’t refuse.

Volunteers were needed to help in lowincome nursery schools, and Enoch knew Joanne Hurst would be perfect for the job. Hurst didn’t know it then, but that day marked the beginning of a dedication to

volunteering that would last a lifetime.

“I loved volunteering and what it brought to my life; putting in a few hours can do so much for someone else,” Hurst says. “That was some 40 years ago.”

Hurst’s “love affair,” a term she uses to describe her relationship with Lawrence Memorial Hospital, began in 1995, when she started the first of two four-

year terms on the LMH board of trustees.

Since then, she has held a plethora of volunteer posts at the hospital, netting her a nomination for the United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center’s Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Award. In 2011 alone, Hurst served 563 hours at the hospital, according to Allyson Leland, director of volunteer

Murderer, rapist KU both eligible for parole in June

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Convicted murderer Wilford Molester Galloway and convicted serial rapist Charles C u r t i s Hunter, both convicted in D o u g l a s Galloway County, are eligible for parole in June.

T h e Kansas P r i s o n Review Board will hear pub- Hunter lic comments on both Galloway’s and Hunter’s cases, as well as 26 other convicts eligible for release in June.

The board uses input from the public and victims in the cases as part of its decision. The public can also call or mail in comments.

Here’s more on the local cases:

Galloway was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1997 shooting death of Floyd White. According to court records, Galloway shot White during an argument just outside of Lawrence and left White’s body on the side of a road. Galloway was sentenced to life in prison

but is now eligible for release after 15 years behind bars. Galloway is incarcerated at the El Dorado Correctional Facility.

Hunter was convicted of a series of rapes and home invasions that occurred in December 1978 in Lawrence. In 2010, Hunter, with assistance from the New York-based Innocence Project, obtained a DNA test on two of the rape kits in the case. However, the testing was not able to exclude Hunter as the rapist.

Hunter originally was given a life sentence and was first eligible for parole after 15 years. The parole board repeatedly has denied parole for Hunter, most recently in 2011. Hunter is incarcerated at the Larned State Hospital, operated by the Kansas Department of Corrections.

The three public comment sessions will be:

10 a.m. to noon April 16, City Hall, 701 N. Seventh St., Kansas City, Kan.

11 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 17, Finney State Building, 230 E. William St., Wichita.

8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

April 18, Landon State Office Building, 900 SW Jackson, Topeka.

and in 2002 assumed duties as the executive dean of the medical school.

Since 2004, she has served as both executive dean and executive vice chancellor of KUMC. Four months ago, Atkinson announced her plans to retire but said she would stay on as dean of the medical school until a new dean was identified, and as executive vice chancellor until December 2013.

“I believe that with the conclusion of our application for (National Cancer Institute) designation, this is a very good time to pass the torch to new leadership,” Atkinson said in a prepared statement. “I am confident that our application to the NCI will be favorably received, and with it will come exciting new opportunities for our KU Medical Center to provide ever better and more effective care to the citizens of our state and region.”

Gray-Little previously indicated her desire to

nation, the timing was right to step aside.

“This is really about this being a good time to transition and pass the torch,” Caboni said.

Caboni said the decision was unrelated to Atkinson’s performance and said the chancellor was pleased with the progress the medical center had

made under Atkinson’s leadership, citing the NCI application, the completion of the Robert E. Hemenway Life Sciences Center building and the increase in NIH-funded research at KUMC during her tenure.

cluding in the presence of faculty members. One plaintiff alleges that during the four days he attended the school, he suffered repeated abuse and broke both legs. Another says a ranking student kneed him in the face and broke his eye socket, and a third says he was bound, gagged and beaten by several students, and that photos of the abuse were posted on Facebook.

The lawsuit also names as defendants The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America and the Episcopal Diocese of Western Kansas, entities which the suit says created the school.

St. John’s, which charges families nearly $30,000 per year for students grades 6-12, denied in its court filings that a culture of abuse exists at the school and notes that each student is required to sign

separate Atkinson’s two roles, and a search to identify the next dean of the medical school had already begun. Tim Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor for public affairs, said on Monday that the chancellor would continue to work with that search committee “to identify new leadership for KU Medical Center.”

Caboni would not say whether the existing committee’s role would expand to identify a new executive vice chancellor in addition to a medical school dean, nor would he say whether the chancellor still wanted to separate the two roles. As the chancellor and the committee continue their work, Caboni said, the KUMC community will be kept informed.

In November when Atkinson first announced her intention to retire, she identified plans to work on a number of issues beyond cancer designation, including expanding the class of the medical school and founding a new School of Public Health. But on Monday, Caboni reiterated Atkinson’s written statement that said now that the essential work was done on the NCI desig-

lawsuits since 2006 has asked a court to dismiss the latest one, which accuses the school of allowing and encouraging older students to discipline younger ones by beating and otherwise abusing them.

The St. John’s Military School filed motions in federal court Friday saying the abuse alleged in the lawsuit either didn’t happen or happened without the knowledge of school officials. The school asked that the lawsuit, which was filed by parents on behalf of six former cadets and by an adult former cadet, be dismissed or ordered to be settled in arbitration.

It says its contract with cadets’ families includes a provision requiring disputes go to binding arbitration.

The plaintiffs, who are from California, Florida, Tennessee, Colorado, Texas and Illinois, allege that St. John’s allowed experienced students, called “Disciplinarians,” to abuse students, in-

an anti-hazing pledge. It also denied the former student’s claim that his legs were broken as a result of abuse and said investigations by the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services and Salina Police Department found no validity to his claims.

The school also asked U.S. District Judge John Lungstrum to strike from the court record the alleged Facebook photo of the cadet and the X-ray of the other former student’s leg, which shows his right femur bone displaced several inches above the knee. St. John’s contends they are “scandalous exhibits” and alleges that the cadet posed for the Facebook photo.

Pokorny issued the warrant for his arrest when he failed to appear, court officials and prosecutors said. Glover was free on $8,000 bond.

The alleged victim testified last Wednesday and accused Glover of choking her until she felt she would pass out and throwing her against a wall causing her to black out, during an incident March 23 in the 2500 block of Redbud Lane. The woman was taken by a friend to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where police interviewed her.

After the woman testified last week, prosecutors dismissed an aggravated assault charge because they said her testimony did not corroborate a claim that Glover was armed with a knife during the alleged incident.

President gets event rolling Case won’t go to Florida grand jury

Pearson Collision Repair 749-4455

By Mike Schneider Associated Press

ORLANDO, FLA. — A grand jury will not look into the Trayvon Martin case, a special prosecutor said Monday, leaving the decision of whether to charge the teen’s shooter in her hands alone and eliminating the possibility of a first-degree murder charge.

That prosecutor, Angela Corey, said her decision had no bearing on whether she would file charges against George Zimmerman, the n e i g h borhood Martin watch volunteer who has said he shot the unarmed black teen in self-defense. Corey could still decide to charge him with a serious felony such as manslaughter, which can carry a lengthy prison sentence if he is convicted.

A grand jury had been set to meet today in Sanford, about 20 miles northeast of Orlando.

Corey has long had a reputation for not using grand juries if it wasn’t necessary.

In Florida, only first-degree murder cases require the use of grand juries.

Corey’s decision means she doesn’t have to rely on potentially unpredictable jurors, said David Hill, an Orlando criminal defense attorney.

“Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she knows there isn’t enough for first-degree murder, but she wants to maintain control and charge him with something else,” Hill said. “What does she need a grand jury for? She cuts out the unpredictability of the grand jury. She goes where she feels she has more evidence.”

Corey took over the case last month after the prosecutor who normally handles cases out of Sanford recused himself. That prosecutor, Norm Wolfinger, had originally called for the case to be presented before a grand jury.

“From the moment she was assigned, Ms. Corey noted she may not need a grand jury,” said a statement from Corey’s office.

Prosecutors sometimes use grand juries to avoid the political fallout from controversial cases. But Corey was elected by voters more than 100 miles away in the Jacksonville area, so political problems are less of an issue for her, Hill said.

Martin was killed Feb. 26 during a confrontation with Zimmerman in a gated community in Sanford.

Zimmerman has claimed self-defense, and Florida’s self-defense law gives wide leeway to use deadly force and eliminates a person’s duty to retreat in the face of danger.

Zimmerman’s attorney, Craig Sonner, said he didn’t want to comment on Corey’s decision.

Texting offers promise but also peril to political campaigns

By Beth Fouhy Associated Press

NEW YORK — Text messaging is posing both new opportunities and dangers for America’s political campaigns.

The most widely used form of mobile communication, it has become one of the most effective ways for campaigns to reach supporters, using 160-character messages to encourage last-minute donations or provide information such as where to vote. And strict federal rules prohibit such texts from going to anyone who does not “opt in” to receive them.

But some groups have found their way around that requirement, using email — rather than the SMS “short code” that telemarketers normally use — to send unsolicited, anonymous and often negative messages to cellphone lists they purchase through brokers.

That texting practice has angered voters, who are forced to pay if they don’t have flat-rate messaging plans. And it’s alarmed campaign strategists, who fear political texting will

They’ve taken a tool and technology we used to help people get voter information and turned it into a very sophisticated way to do voter suppression tactics and annoy people with false and misleading information.

“They’ve taken a tool and technology we used to help people get voter information and turned it into a very sophisticated way to do voter suppression tactics and annoy people with false and misleading information,” said Scott Goodstein of Revolution Messaging, a Democratic-leaning mobile communications firm.

“Worse yet, people are being charged to receive these messages.”

Goodstein has filed a complaint about the prac-

tice with the Federal Communications Commission, whose Telephone Consumer Protection Act prohibits telemarketers from texting “to any telephone number ... or any service for which the called party is charged.”

Unsolicited messages hit the presidential campaign this year, when texts targeting Republican Mitt Romney surfaced in Colorado, South Carolina and Michigan. Voters received texts urging them to call a number where they heard a recorded message criticizing the former Massachusetts governor.

Spam texts have popped up in congressional campaigns in states including Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Missouri and Minnesota.

They’ve also appeared in several state legislative races.

Some of the texts have been followed back to Americans in Contact PAC, a Republican-leaning group whose mission is “to identify social and fiscal conservatives throughout America and engage them at the grassroots level in the political process.”

Bomb threats at Pitt Md. winner claims put campus on edge share of jackpot PITTSBURGH — Dozens of bomb threats at the University of Pittsburgh, including at least four on Monday, have made professors start holding classes outside and forced security officials to put in new building access measures and offer a $50,000 reward for information.

The threats began in midFebruary, at first targeting a landmark building at the center of campus. But in recent weeks numerous buildings have been threatened.

Four threats had been made by mid-afternoon Monday, starting at about 4 a.m.

Under new security measures, students and faculty members will need school IDs to get into buildings. Nonresidents won’t be permitted in dormitories.

University police, the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service have said they have a person of interest in the investigation.

BALTIMORE — The holder of a winning Mega Millions ticket sold in Maryland claimed a share of the record-breaking $656 million prize on Monday, but will remain anonymous, state lottery officials announced.

The winner claimed the prize at lottery headquarters with a ticket matching all six numbers: 2-4-2338-46 and the Mega Ball, 23, said Maryland Lottery spokeswoman Carole Everett. The winner will remain anonymous, but officials will share some details at a news conference this morning, she said. Maryland does not require lottery winners to be identified.

The jackpot was the biggest in Mega Millions history, and the three winners — one each in Maryland, Illinois and Kansas — will each receive more than $218 million before taxes.

Iran signals compromise before nuclear talks

By Brian Murphy and Nasser Karimi Associated Press

TEHRAN, IRAN — Iran is signaling a possible compromise offer heading into critical talks with world powers deeply suspicious of its nuclear program: offering to scale back uranium enrichment but not abandon the ability to make nuclear fuel.

The proposal — floated by the country’s nuclear chief as part of the early parrying in various capitals before negotiations get under way Friday — suggested that sanctions-battered Iran is ready to bargain.

held in Istanbul, are the first direct negotiations on Tehran’s nuclear program since a Ahmadinejad swift collapse more than 14 months ago.

Despite far-reaching complexities, the dispute effectively boils down to one issue: Iran’s stated refusal to close down its uranium enrichment labs.

For Iran, uranium enrichment is a proud symbol of its scientific advances and technological

self-sufficiency.

Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, called the nuclear program on Sunday “a locomotive” for other showcase projects such as Iran’s space effort.

The U.S. and its allies contend that the same sites that make fuel for reactors could also eventually churn out weaponsgrade material. Iran has repeatedly insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

The ideas put forth late Sunday by the nuclear chief, Fereidoun Abbasi, are an attempt to at least acknowledge this huge divide.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Facebook is spending $1 billion to buy the photosharing company Instagram in the social network’s largest acquisition ever.

Instagram lets people share photos they snap with their mobile devices. The app has filters that can make photos look as if they’ve been taken in the 1970s or on Polaroid cameras.

In a little more than a year, Instagram attracted a loyal and loving user base of more than 30 million people.

Apple picked it as the iPhone App of the Year in 2011.

Facebook is preparing for an initial public offering of stock that could value the company at as much as $100 billion in a few weeks.

What’s $1 billion? A drop in the bucket, really.

Facebook is paying cash and stock for San Francisco-based Instagram and hiring its dozen or so employees. The deal is expected to close by the end of June.

—130.55, 12,929.59

But this gambit, at least, appeared to fall short of Western demands that Iran hand over its most potent nuclear material and ease a standoff that has rattled nerves and spooked markets with seesaw oil prices and threats of Israeli military strikes.

“It is important for Iran to understand that the window is closing and that these talks are an opportunity,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday. “The decision rests with Iran.”

Reasons the job market might be weakening

WASHINGTON (AP) — Economists mostly shrugged off news that U.S. hiring slowed in March as a onemonth aberration warped by warm weather.

But what if they’re wrong?

What if the sharp drop in job creation signaled something more ominous?

Investors appeared worried Monday. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 131 points on the first day of trading since the government said Friday that employers added just 120,000 jobs in March. That was only half the pace of hiring the economy enjoyed in December through February and well below the 210,000 economists had expected.

Economists were quick to explain away the March numbers. But many also see reasons to worry about the job market. Here are five:

Sluggish economic growth: The economy hasn’t been growing fast enough to sustain the level of job growth the United States enjoyed from December through February: an average of 246,000 jobs a month.

The economy is expected to grow around 2.5 percent this year. Economists say that’s consistent with monthly job growth of around 140,000.

Some economists fear March’s weaker numbers are just a return to the normal link between economic and job growth — and that hiring won’t pick up until the economy accelerates.

Higher gasoline prices: U.S. gasoline prices have risen 65 cents this year to a national average $3.93 gallon, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge. Economists had expected consumers to keep spending at a healthy pace in the face of higher prices

at the pump.

But retailers cut more than 62,000 jobs in February and March. That suggested gasoline price hikes might have started to pinch consumers’ budgets — and their willingness to shop, says Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors.

Shrinking incomes: Companies cut workers’ hours in March, reducing their average weekly earnings. Pay isn’t keeping up with inflation either. In February, inflation-adjusted earnings were 1 percent lower than a year earlier.

That means less money to spend without borrowing or dipping into savings.

Job-market dropouts: The economy has added nearly 1.9 million jobs over the past year, and unemployment rate has fallen from 9.1 percent to 8.2 percent since August. But the job market might not be as strong as those numbers suggest. One broad measure of the labor market’s health refuses to strengthen: The percentage of the working-age population that’s actually working has been stuck below 59 percent for more than 2 years.

A lot of catching up to do: The solid job gains of December to February disguised a painful fact: The economy still has a long way to go recover all the jobs lost in the Great Recession and its aftermath. Heidi Shierholz, an economist with the Economic Policy Institute, calculates that, accounting for population growth, the United States would have to create 350,000 jobs a month for three years to return to pre-recession employment levels. That’s nearly three times as many jobs as the economy generated last month.

Camper action

E

very once in a while, city officials face a specific problem that requires a specific legal solution.

Passing an ordinance to keep camping vehicles from taking up semipermanent residence around South Park is such a situation.

Tonight, city officials will consider a measure that will make it illegal to park camping trailers, recreational vehicles and other similar vehicles of a certain size in the public parking spaces on streets around South Park. Included are sections of Massachusetts, Vermont, 11th and South Park streets adjacent to both sections of the central-city park. The proposed ordinance calls for a $50-perday fine; after a second offense the city would be authorized to tow the vehicle.

The ordinance is intended specifically to remove a couple of trailers that serve as permanent residences and regularly park in the area. One is a homemade wooden trailer that has been calling the park home since the middle of 2011. Its owner is a street musician who lives in the trailer and uses bathroom facilities in the Community Building. Although the trailer can be found parked on the west side of Massachusetts Street most of the time, the owner complies with the existing city ordinance that allows campers to be parked in nonresidential areas as long as they are moved from the spots at least once every 48 hours.

The people who are using Massachusetts Street as a trailer-camping spot may be complying with the letter of the law, but certainly not its intent. The vehicles are unsightly and detract from the ambience of the downtown park. Mayor Bob Schumm has asked city staff members to see whether there are other spots people could legally park their campers in the city for free, but he is right in saying that, “The city streets don’t owe them a longterm camping spot.”

The owner of the homemade trailer has objected to the ordinance, saying it is intended to disrupt his living arrangement. Well, that’s true. The problem is that his living arrangement creates a disruption for everyone who visits or drives by one of the city’s most pristine and historic public parks.

That is a legitimate concern for city officials and a legitimate cause for a new ordinance to deal with the situation.

Latin American schools fall short Two new studies confirm what we have long suspected: Latin American companies cannot effectively compete in the world economy because their countries’ educational systems are totally disconnected from reality.

The Global Information Technology Report 2012, a 442-page report by the World Economic Forum and the INSEAD business school, places most Latin American countries far behind the world’s most technologically connected countries in its ranking of “network readiness.”

The index takes into account various measurements, including Internet use and people’s ability to use it productively, from international organizations and a survey of more than 15,000 executives worldwide.

According to the report, Latin America “continues to suffer from an important lag” in adopting information and communications technologies to improve countries’ competitiveness in a hyperconnected world.

The network readiness ranking of 142 countries is led by Sweden (1), Singapore (2) and Finland (3) with the United States (8), Taiwan (11), South Korea (12) and Hong Kong (13).

Although Brazil recently overtook Great Britain as the world’s sixth largest economy, the highest-ranking countries in Latin American and the Caribbean in the index are Barbados (35), Chile (39) and Uruguay (44). Down the list are Brazil (65), Colombia (73), Mexico (76), the Dominican Republic (87), Argentina (92), Peru (106)

“

Interestingly, other surveys show that Latin American business people complain not only about their young people’s academic standards, but also about their lack of basic social skills to function in the business world, such as courtesy, commitment, team work and punctuality.” and Venezuela (107).

Latin America’s poor showings in the ranking are mostly due to “a weak skill base in the population because of poor educational systems that hinder society’s capacity to make an effective use of these technologies,” as well as not enough investment in internet broadband infrastructure, and unfavorable business environments, the report says.

“One of Latin America’s great weaknesses are its educational systems that are not producing young people with the skills that companies are

requiring,” report co-author Benat Bilbao told me. “In our survey, more Latin American business leaders cited this as a problem than their counterparts in other parts of the world.”

A separate ranking of people’s skills in 142 countries included in the World Economic Forum Report shows that Costa Rica ranks 26th, Colombia 58th, Argentina 80th, Brazil 86th and Mexico 91st. Most countries in the region rank especially low in people’s preparation in math and sciences.

Interestingly, other surveys show that Latin American business people complain not only about their young people’s academic standards, but also about their lack of basic social skills to function in the business world, such as courtesy, commitment, team work and punctuality.

A new book by the InterAmerican Development Bank, entitled “Disconnected: Skills, education and employment in Latin America,” says a survey of 1,200 companies in Brazil, Argentina and Chile showed that 80 percent of the companies cited their biggest hiring problem as finding young people who can write a resume, effectively communicate a problem to their boss, or show up on time for work.

Latin American highschools are totally disconnected from the business world, the study says. “There is an urgent need not only to address the problem of the quality of education, but also of its relevancy to facilitate young people’s transition into the business world,” the

study says.

My opinion: There are many reasons why Latin American countries are lagging behind Asia in information technology and skills’ rankings. They include the absence of a greater family involvement in children’s education, shorter school years — in Japan, the school year has 243 days, while in most Latin American countries it barely reaches 180 days — and a heavy concentration on history and humanities rather than on science and math.

But the two new studies make a good point in stressing the need for a better connection between educational systems and the needs of the business world.

It’s time for governments to try to reduce the huge youth unemployment rates by asking employers what skills they are looking for, and to make some room in their educational systems for such requirements.

And it’s also time for private companies to become more active in improving their countries’ education standards, rather than just complaining about them.

They can team up to create powerful pro-education civic groups — such as Brazil’s Todos Pela Educacao movement — or offer massive internships programs to high school and college students.

A greater public-private partnership in education would help Latin American countries become more competitive, grow faster, and reduce poverty more effectively.

PUBLIC FORUM

Setting the norm To the editor: I was disappointed to read of Lance Kinzer’s, R-Olathe, Preservation of Religious Freedom Act in the JournalWorld on March 29. Rep. Barbara Ballard and others are correct to worry that this bill is antagonistic to Lawrence’s anti-discrimination ordinance; it opens the door to discriminate against others (e.g., those of the LGBT community) with impunity if this discrimination comes from conviction associated with one’s religious identity. This bill comes on the heels of similar measures (e.g., Michigan) that protect a child who bullies peers who are presumed to be gay, if the perpetrator is doing so out of religious conviction.

My disappointment turned into disgust when I flipped the page in the very same issue to read about Eva Edmands’ experiences with persecution in 1938 Vienna; it seems the 8-year-old Eva was bullied by her peers because of her faith. The Viennese children adopted adult norms and laws as their own. It was open season on Jews in a way that was protected because this hostility arose out of “deep moral conviction.”

Therein lies the danger.

Ordinances of a community become norms of the community, and norms by definition normalize behavior and attitudes. People eventually come

to adopt these attitudes as their own and perform these behaviors without conscious consideration.

State and city laws should normalize the acceptance of all of its residents. It is our duty to protect the vulnerable and speak out against rights violations. Thank you, Ms. Edmands, for taking this lesson to our local school children. Now, please take it to our state Capitol.

Patricia Hawley, Lawrence

Support board To the editor: As a former school board member who has been involved in the very difficult decision to consolidate buildings in my district, I have noted with chagrin the attitude of some of the volunteers in the consolidation study group and the editors of the Journal-World.

Yes, these are very difficult deliberations with many facets to consider and the tough decisions do belong to the board, not the patrons. However, I am certain that had the input of the patrons not been sought there would be an outcry from Lawrence’s vocal and passionate community. If the school board had simply decided a course of action, without employing the services of a volunteer group of patrons, many would have accused them of high-handedness and not listening to their con-

stituents’ concerns.

That study group got a small taste of what it is like to be a school board member who must balance the diverse interests of patrons, students, teachers and parents in an environment of ever-shrinking resources. Rather than criticize the board for seeking community input, I would laud them for trying to include the constituent groups in the process. The difficulty the “volunteer” working group had in reaching consensus simply illustrates the difficulty the “volunteer” board members also face. Please let your board members know what you think, but appreciate their service, rather than criticize them for seeking patron input.

Alison Bauer, Baldwin City

Legal bigotry To the editor: Shame on the Kansas Legislature for creating and forwarding the Kansas Preservation of Religious Freedom Act. This bigoted law essentially legalizes discrimination based on sexual orientation and will override the antidiscrimination ordinance of Lawrence.

The “right” to discriminate under this new law would extend not only to businesses, but to any institution or person offering services, such as universities and individual teachers. Landlords, restau-

rants, doctors and insurance agencies could presumably refuse to do business with lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender residents under the guise of protecting “religious freedom.”

My question: Why does this law’s bigotry stop at the LGBT community? Why strip American citizen rights only from our LGBT friends and loved ones? I’m sure there are those who believe the Bible frowns on women working outside the home. Why not allow the option to fire or refuse to hire women? Non-Christians? People of color? The answer is that if these groups were included, this legislation would be seen for the radical, bigoted, draconian, un-American piece of garbage it is.

The targeted LGBT population is not politically strong enough, even with its burgeoning number of supporters, to block laws directed against them. And though these laws will surely be proven unconstitutional and struck down in the future, it will only be after more suffering among this persecuted population. Shame on the Kansas Legislature for using its power, not to guide our society into further enlightenment, fairness and freedom for ALL citizens, but to push it backwards toward ignorance and bigotry.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

T-Rob making best of it Media Day, Oct. 15, 2009, Thomas Robinson sat alone on a chair on the Allen Fieldhouse floor as reporters mined bigger names such as Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Tyshawn Taylor for quotes.

It represented a rare opportunity to get a oneon-one interview, so I introduced myself and spoke with him for five or 10 minutes. I remember leaving thinking nothing about the man reminded me of a freshman in college. He sounded and looked older.

I asked him what it was like growing up in the southeast quadrant of D.C. “It’s what you make it,” he said. “Make the best of your situation. It was my mom, my little sister and me. We made the best of our situation.”

Fifteen months later, that situation took a tragic turn when in less than a month’s time Robinson lost two grandparents and then his mother. A family custody battle over his sister, Jayla, ensued. It resulted in her being with her father, James Paris, who had not long before that finished serving a prison term for distribution of a controlled substance.

Robinson kept making the best of his situation for himself and his sister. He never thought he was too smart to listen to coaches. Now here is his situation: He leaves Kansas as a three-time Big 12 champion, a first-team AllAmerican, the best player on a team that battled all the way to a national-title game in which he motored his way to 18 points and 17 rebounds. All of that is another way of saying he’ll never leave Kansas because his No. 0 jersey will hang from the Allen Fieldhouse rafters for an eternity.

More on his situation: The education of Jayla, 9, is paid for even if she gets multiple doctorates, thanks to the generosity of Kansas basketball fans and others who contributed to her NCAA-approved education fund. Robinson will be a lottery pick in the June draft, a multi-millionaire within a couple of years.

Many a lottery pick has faded fast in the NBA, but Robinson doesn’t figure to be one of them. His greatest physical skills (strength, explosiveness and sure hands) and his greatest intangible (a strong will) happen to translate best to his best basketball skill. He’s a monster rebounder and can remain so against the world’s best competition.

If Robinson can run the floor well with more consistency and continue to improve his jumper enough to develop into a starter, you’ll see his name listed with DeMarcus Cousins and reality TV star Kris Humphries among the league’s leading rebounders.

Departing Kansas University basketball players Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor were named co-winners of the coveted Danny Manning “Mr. Jayhawk” Award at the conclusion of Monday’s postseason banquet at the Holidome.

Manning, the new head coach at Tulsa University, was on hand to present the hardware to Robinson, a junior who earlier Monday declared for the NBA Draft, and

Taylor, a senior expected to be taken somewhere late in the first round or in the second round.

There were standing ovations from 600 banquet-goers for not only those two, but some of the marquee players on next year’s team — junior starters Travis Releford, Elijah Johnson and Jeff Withey.

“He’s the unsung hero of our team, our glue guy,” KU coach Bill Self gushed of small forward Releford.

Weis suspends RB Sims for 3 games

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

If Kansas University running back James Sims hopes to lead the Jayhawks in rushing for a third consecutive season, he’ll have to do it in three fewer games than everybody else.

KU coach Charlie Weis announced Monday that Sims had been suspended for the first three games of the 2012 season for violating team rules.

Sims, 20, of Irving, Texas, was arrested early Sunday morning for operating a vehicle under the influence in

the 1300 block of Jayhawk Boulevard. He becomes the latest member of the KU football team to fall victim to Weis’ new standard of discipline and accountability.

“Every player on our team knows and understands our rules and regulations,” Weis said in a press release Mon-

NCAA digs up Baylor violations WACO, TEXAS (AP) — Less than a week after its women’s basketball team won the national championship, Baylor said Monday it has been involved in a three-year investigation with the NCAA into what are believed to be hundreds of impermissible phone calls and text messages sent by coaches to young prospects.

The school did not describe any details of the investigation, including which sports were involved, but the announcement came a few hours after ESPN. com reported that coaches for both the men’s and women’s basketball programs had made more than 1,200 calls and text messages to prospects over a 29-month span dating to 2008.

ESPN.com cited an NCAA report it had obtained.

The NCAA may dole out harsher punishment that what is listed in the report, which details a number of self-imposed penalties including barring women’s coach Kim Mulkey from recruiting off campus in July and fewer

Goodell upholds Saints penalties NEW YORK (AP) — Roger Goodell sent a message to every coach and player in the NFL: safety first. The league commissioner stuck with his punishments for New Orleans’ pay-for-pain bounties on Monday, rejecting Saints coach Sean Payton’s appeal of a season-long suspension.

An NFL investigation found that, under Payton’s watch, an assistant ran a program offering cash payouts for hits that knocked targeted opponents out of games or hurt them so badly they needed help getting to the sideline.

Next on Goodell’s agenda: discipline for players involved in the bounty program that began in 2009, the season the Saints won the Super Bowl.

Given recent history, at least some of those penalties are likely to be tough, too.

The Saints case represents perhaps the starkest example yet of the sea change that the NFL has undergone since medical research and media reports on the long-term damage suffered by football players through concussions began to gain attention.

As recently as October 2009, while testifying before Congress, Goodell did not acknowledge a link between head injuries on the field and brain diseases later in life. And hundreds of NFL retirees are now suing the league for health problems they say began with their playing careers.

Yet the league has taken a series of steps to better protect players in the past couple of years, and just last month expanded the definition of “defenseless players� who may not be hit in the head or neck and cannot be hit by someone leading with a helmet.

While NFL veterans say offthe-books incentives have been around for years, and some current players claim tough talk about hitting opponents where they are injured happens in locker rooms throughout the league, Goodell responded to the Saints case by handing out unprecedented penalties.

In addition to upholding Payton’s suspension, which begins next Monday and runs through the Super Bowl in February 2013 — by coincidence, in New Orleans — Goodell also affirmed suspensions of eight games for Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and six games for assistant head coach Joe Vitt. He also kept in place a $500,000 fine for the franchise and the loss of draft picks this year and next.

Loomis, who along with the team declined comment Monday, and Vitt begin their suspensions after the preseason ends.

Former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams ran the bounty program and has been suspended indefinitely. He did not appeal.

BAYLOR HEAD COACH KIM MULKEY CELEBRATES after winning the NCAA women’s national championship game against Notre Dame on April 3 in Denver. scholarships for both programs.

Nick Joos, Baylor’s executive associate athletic director for external affairs, said the school had not received notice of a “final decision� from the infractions committee.

“Regarding today’s premature public reports of the matter, the institution remains committed to protecting the integrity of the totality of the case in accordance with its obligations under NCAA legislation and, therefore, the university, and its officials, will make no comment,�

Joos said.

NCAA president Mark Emmert said the NCAA would not comment on the case because it’s still under review. “However, each member agrees to abide by the rules es- Drew tablished by the association and our membership expects those who do not follow the rules will be held accountable,� he said in a statement.

The report comes as Baylor athletics is in the midst of a heyday.

The Baylor women beat Notre Dame for the national

title last week, capping the first 40-0 season in NCAA history.

The men’s team, coached by Scott Drew, won a school-record 30 games and reached an NCAA regional final, where it lost to eventual national champion Kentucky.

Mulkey was named AP’s national coach of the year and Brittney Griner was AP national player of the year. Drew’s team spent much of the season in the top 10 and star quarterback Robert Griffin III became the school’s first Heisman Trophy winner after leading the Bears to 10 wins for the first time since 1980.

According to the summary disposition quoted by ESPN. com, Mulkey, Drew and their assistants were involved in sending 738 impermissible text messages and making 528 impermissible calls. The violations were termed “major� because of their frequency.

According to the report, Griner’s recruitment is part of the investigation.

Mavericks part ways with Lamar Odom DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks and Lamar Odom are done with each other.

The NBA’s reigning Sixth Man of the Year and the defending NBA champions who are trying to make sure they get back to the playoffs made it clear Monday that the partnership is over after an underwhelming 50-game stint.

Odom will be on the inactive list and not play again for the Mavericks, who were seventh in the Western Conference standings with nine games left in the regular season.

Even when wife and reality TV co-star Khloe Kardashian was in the stands near the Mavericks bench, Odom never Odom seemed happy or comfortable in Dallas. His averages of 6.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 20.5 minutes were career lows, and he was booed by the home crowd as the sluggish performances multiplied.

Odom and Mavs general manager Donnie Nelson said it was a mutual decision.

Odom was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to Dallas in a deal just before the lockoutshortened season.

TCU formally introduced Johnson as its new basketball coach Monday, a day after he resigned from LSU. Before going 67-64 the past four years at LSU, Johnson took Nevada and Stanford to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament.

Roberts rejoins KU coaching staff

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Norm Roberts, who spent one season next to his buddy, Bill Self, on Kansas University’s basketball bench, is back for a second stint in Lawrence.

Roberts, who left KU to run his own program at St. John’s University after the 2003-04 season and worked there six years, on Monday was named Danny Manning’s replacement as assistant coach at KU. “This is a great opportunity. I loved my time at Kansas. I always thought

my time there was too short,” Roberts, assistant coach at the Florida during the 2011-12 season, said in a phone interview. “I was only there one year, but I loved KU, loved Lawrence. The opportunity to go back and be part of that program again is awesome.”

Roberts, the father of KU sophomore guard Niko Roberts, is expected to be in town Wednesday gearing for the start of spring recruiting.

“Working for Coach for nine years (at Oral Roberts, Tulsa, Illinois, KU) has helped my foundation

as a coach,” Roberts said.

“The opportunity to work with Joe (Dooley) and Kurtis (Townsend) and the rest of the staff will be great as well.

“It’s going to be even more special because my son is there. He’s built his own life at KU. He wanted us to come and be there, and obviously the mom and dad want to be near their son.

His brother, Justin (eighth grader who is a point guard), is really excited. The opportunity to reunite our family in a place we love and enjoy is awesome.

“Obviously my wife (Pascale) is close with

Cindy (Self), and our families are very close. This is a great opportunity for me and my family. I’m really blessed.”

Self said he’s “thrilled” that Roberts has re-joined his staff. Manning left KU to become head coach at Tulsa.

“We were together for nine years. My family helped raise his kids. His family has helped raise mine. We’re close,” Self said. “Certainly we hate to see Danny go, but Norm coming back will be a big bonus to our program.

“He’s always been a Kansas guy, having worked

Kansas basketball camps in the 1980s for coach (Larry) Brown,” Self added of the 46-year-old Roberts. “As good as he was when he left, now he’s got six years of head-coaching experience under his belt in addition to all the recruiting experience. I think he’s going to be a huge asset to our program.”

Roberts said he’ll miss Florida.

“Billy Donovan has been really, really good to me.

I would consider him one of the top five coaches in America, and I learned a tremendous amount being here with Billy and his staff.

Leaving here, I feel I’m a better coach and a better person to have worked at Florida,” Roberts said Florida coach Donovan said: “Norm Roberts did a great job on our staff the past year here at Florida.

I have a lot of respect for the Kansas program and Bill Self, and I know this is a great opportunity for Norm and his family to all be together.”

Self said he was in no hurry to fill his director of basketball operations opening. Barry Hinson recently left to become coach at Southern Illinois University.

Johnson, Self said: “The two most talented guards we’ve recruited since we’ve been here, taking everything into consideration — speed, strength, slide, stroke, vision, handles — are Sherron Collins and Elijah Johnson.”

Saving perhaps the greatest compliment for 7-foot center Withey, Self said: “All he did was set the all-time record in the history of our school in blocks and in the history of the NCAA Tournament. If Jeff gets a little bit better, little bit stronger, he can go down as one of the best big men Kansas has had not in recent memory, but the last half century. I really believe that.”

Withey appreciated the glowing remarks.

“Last year at this time, coach said I would hold the block record, get all the blocks I did. Hopefully I can make him proud and do what he said again (next season),” Withey said.

Self isn’t expecting any surprises regarding Withey and/or Johnson as far as leaving for the 2012 NBA Draft. Players have until April 29 to enter their names in the draft.

However, if they wish to return to school, they’d have to withdraw from the draft pool by today.

“I think Elijah could play himself into the first round, and Jeff could play himself into the first round (in 2013 Draft),” Self said. “I don’t think it’d be in their best interests to come out now because the reality of it is, they are probably on the outside looking in.”

Withey was asked if he considered entering the draft.

“Of course,” he said,

teammates, the coaching staff, the fans and just the town, period, but this puts me in a situation to take care of my family — my little sister.”

Robinson, who said he’ll soon begin the process of finding an agent, said he’ll especially miss “just being able to walk around campus and getting that feeling that everybody loves you. That and probably the pregame talks with coach Self saying the same thing he says before every game, but saying it 100 miles per hour, and I can’t hear it.

Running through the tunnel … just certain things like that, which I won’t be able to get back.”

There were plenty of smiles and jokes at a news conference which Self said was held on a “glorious day.”

“In all honesty, I have known this would happen since last summer,” Self said. “I’ve said publicly at times that our goal is to put him in a position where this would possibly be the case. There is no shot that he would,

I’m really happy with my decision (to stay), and I’m excited for next year.”

KU may play IU: ESPN reported on Monday that KU and Indiana are talking about scheduling a home-and-home series that would start in Allen Fieldhouse next season.

Nothing is finalized.

Recruiting: The Jayhawks, who are expected to receive a letter-of-intent from Andrew White (6-6, Chester, Va.) on Wednesday, are not finished recruiting. KU also has a spring commitment from Seattle guard Anrio Adams, who still needs to receive a qualifying score on the ACT and may wait before signing.

“We are not close to being done,” Self said, not discussing specific recruits in accordance with NCAA rules. “If we get lucky late or get the right transfer, we’d certainly be open to taking them.”

As far as possibly finding a point guard: “I’m hopeful we can tighten that up through recruiting in the spring. If not, I think Elijah can be your primary point.

I’d like to recruit one more, without question.”

Self on new KSU coach Bruce Weber: “Bruce is a good coach, no question. I saw firsthand what he did with those kids at Illinois (in succeeding Self). I think they are hiring a very good basketball coach.”

but even if he would after careful deliberation tell me he wanted to come back, I would strongly encourage him not to. This is the best time for him. He has done everything plus some that we could have ever expected him to give to our program — both as a player and as an ambassador. He is a guy who is probably as loved as anybody who has played here in a long, long time, and I think that the entire Jayhawk Nation should see this as a great day for everybody.

“More so with Thomas than any other player who has played here, I think Kansas looks at Thomas as one of their very own because they watched him grow up right before their eyes,” Self added. “He said all along that his mission was to put himself in a position to take care of his family and to take care of Jayla, and I think he has earned a right to do so.”

Self said Robinson has a chance to be the highestdrafted player he’s tutored. Deron Williams of Illinois was a No. 3 overall pick in the 2005 Draft.

“I think Thomas has put himself in a position to be in the lower-end of the top five. Hopefully he can impress enough in the work-

outs to go higher,” Self said. “To me, more than anything is to put himself in a position to show what he can do. He has some things that you can’t teach or can’t coach, but he still has so much that he can learn. I think he will be a hugely successful NBA player.”

Robinson — who said he would “be a workhorse and I am going to do what everybody else is not going to want to do” — indicated he would attain his college degree in accordance with his mom’s wishes.

“Definitely. I’m not that many hours away, and with the help of our academic advisors here, it should be no problem.

As far as the degree, that’s something my mother would want me to get, so I’ll definitely have to find the time to come back and get that,” he said.

He’s not sure when he’ll begin working out for the draft.

“Everything is all new to me right now,” he said, “so I don’t have a schedule, but I do know that I’ll have to be in the gym like I’ve never been in it before to try to train my mind and my body to help me get ready for what’s about to come.”

Foreign tour: Self said the Jayhawks will likely take a foreign tour to someplace like Italy in August.

He said KU could play some teams that fail to qualify for the Olympics.

“If we can go in the summer and take freshmen, which is the rule, why wouldn’t we go to Italy or somewhere, play six games in eight days, do some sightseeing and actually enjoy each other?” he said.

BOX SCORE

Milone stifles Royals OAKLAND, CALIF. (AP) — Tommy Milone allowed three hits over a career-high eight innings in an impressive Oakland debut, and the Athletics beat the Royals, 1-0, on Monday night.

Milone (1-0) faced the minimum in five of his innings, including getting through the fourth despite throwing only two strikes among his 10 pitches.

Perhaps for a night, Milone made it easier for the small group of fans who turned out at the Coliseum to picture life without lefty Gio Gonzalez.

The A’s acquired Milone from the Nationals in December, sending All-Star Gonzalez to the nation’s capital.

Milone won his sixth career start after the Nation-

als won all of his five starts last season. Grant Balfour finished the three-hit shutout for his second save in as many chances.

Josh Donaldson hit an RBI single in the second that held up for Milone.

The A’s missed chances to add on that inning, then Donaldson struck out swinging with the bases loaded in the sixth.

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

visit www.YSA.org and www.GYSD.org. — Sincerely, Steven A. Culbertson, President and CEO, Youth Service America Dear Steven Culbertson: Thanks so much for letting us once again mention this worthwhile project. We hope all our readers, young and old, will check out the websites you mention and become involved in local volunteer programs. It’s also a wonderful educational opportunity for teachers and students.

Dear Annie: I am in

Doherty goes from bad to dull What happens when someone known for scandal and outsized rants wants to settle down? Can a human train wreck ever become a daily commuter?

Laura Dern’s character on HBO’s “Enlightened” has tried that maneuver. Perhaps that’s why the show remains more acclaimed than watched. Elizabeth Taylor was widely admired when she focused on charity work and White Diamonds. But she sure was a lot more fun when she capsized “Cleopatra” and launched a thousand tabloid headlines.

So what’s Shannen Doherty to do with the rest of her life?

Over eight episodes of “Shannen Says” (9 p.m., WE), the former “Beverly Hills, 90210” bad girl will plan her wedding to photographer Kurt Iswarienko and try to convince us that she’s ready to become someone’s wife. ‘‘Shannen Says” tries to compensate for the lack of drama in Doherty’s life with the manic production of a reality TV-sized wedding. Apparently, preparing a catered event for family and friends has become an undertaking as complex as the Apollo Project or Operation Overlord.

The purpose of shows like “Bridezillas” and its many spawn is to turn ordinary women into monsters. Doherty, in contrast, is a reformed monster who just wants to have a normal life, or at least one approximating “Tori & Dean.” It’s doubtful that anyone wants to hear what “Shannen Says.”

With a title that sounds like a punch line, “The Titanic With Len Goodman” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) features interviews with descendants of passengers from the historic 1912 shipwreck. Presumably, none of them sparkles with glittery skin like the contestants on Goodman’s principal gig, “Dancing With the Stars” (8 p.m., ABC).

Tonight’s other highlights

Matt Bomer (“White Collar”) guest-stars on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox).

Results and elimination on “The Voice” (8 p.m., NBC).

A sleepover gets complicated on “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox).

A documentary crew examines the life and death of Hope’s mom on “Raising Hope” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

Megan confronts a killer she once put behind bars on the season finale of “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC).

A friend’s murder brings a new intensity to Raylan on the season finale of “Justified” (9 p.m., FX).

my late 40s, married for 13 years. I was widowed early in my first marriage, and my husband is divorced with children.

I knew from the start that we were from different worlds and had few common interests, but I thought that would change over time.

Now I wish we had dated longer. Over the past seven years, we have had little interaction. I do my thing; he does his. We haven’t been intimate or even affectionate for close to a year. We haven’t said “I love you” in forever. Our flame has blown out.

I have tried to speak to my husband about this, and he says I am making something out of nothing. We both are still young. I want to be embraced by longing arms, say I love you and know it is reciprocated. I want to cuddle, laugh, share, talk, look into his eyes with excitement and feel

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, April 10: This year you will want to strengthen your communication, as you might experience a difficulty in being heard. Updating your style and learning a tip or two can never hurt. If you are single, you go after an exotic type. If you are attached, you could become an armchair traveler. Your significant other will become more and more interested in your mental process.

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) Rethink your stance with a community- or work-related matter. You might see a situation as one that takes away from your power base. Tonight: Let your imagination decide.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Success follows individual conversations, when others grasp what you are thinking. You could be overwhelmed by what is dropped on your plate. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Others often test your patience and flood you with their ideas. It will serve you to listen well right now, as someone drops a nugget of wisdom that could affect you and your choices. Tonight: Go with the moment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Someone who is a key player in your actions and thoughts could do a total reversal out of the blue. As a result, you might need to take on more responsibility than you want. Tonight: Off to the gym.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Your sense of humor kicks in when you need it. A change involving your schedule and daily

wanted. I’d even love to go to the movies together and hold hands. Am I expecting too much? — Roommate Dear Roommate: You might be expecting more than your husband is capable of giving, but it’s not too late to address it and figure out your best course of action. Suggest that your husband see his doctor and check his testosterone levels and other possible medical conditions. Then ask him to go with you for counseling so you can work on your communication and intimacy issues. If he refuses, go without him and decide what you can live with. But thank you for providing a word of caution to those who rush into marriage and believe the other person will ACROSS change.

life could be frustrating. Tonight: Fun and playful.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A loved one or potential new love could be turning your life upside down. A key person could make a decision that you feel is yours. Tonight: At home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be profoundly thrown off by events. Fighting city hall could be futile. Tonight: Chat the night away.
