Gov. agrees to delay changes to disability care

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — After months of pleading from advocates for Kansans with developmental disabilities, Gov. Sam Brownback agreed on Wednesday to delay for one year putting those services

under his proposed Medicaid privatization plan.

While legislators and advocates said they welcomed the delay, they emphasized they still wanted the longterm services “carved out” of Brownback’s proposed KanCare system.

“We are going to take a

delay, but we’re not giving up on a carve-out,” said state Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita.

“We’re not trying to be obstinate,” said Sharon Spratt, chief executive officer of Cottonwood Inc., which provides services in Lawrence. “We just really value the system we’ve

helped to develop over the past 40 years.”

As legislators resumed the 2012 session, the needs of Kansans with physical and developmental disabilities took center stage.

Several hundred people rallied at the Capitol opposing Brownback’s initial effort

to add the developmentally disabled services to KanCare and to lobby for increased funding.

Fatality wreck among several accidents in county

In background is Rod Czerniak, assembly room supervisor at Reuter Organ Co., working on a miniature golf hole sponsored by Laser Logic and Reuter titled “Celebrate Reuter Organ.”

Law enforcement and rescue personnel were kept busy Wednesday as they responded to several injury accidents in Douglas County, including one fatality accident on U.S. Highway 40.

One person was killed Wednesday morning in a one-vehicle rollover accident on U.S. 40 west of Lawrence, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol report.

Patrick D. Henderson, a 34-year-old Perry resident, died after his 1992 GMC pickup truck went off the road for an unknown reason.

Law enforcement officers were called just after 8:20 a.m. and found that the truck was westbound on the highway about six miles west of the South Lawrence Trafficway when the right-side tires went off the road.

It struck a Kansas Department of Transportation Chevron sign and continued into a ditch, where it overturned several times, striking a tree row and a fence, the report said. The exact time of the accident is still under investigation.

“We’ve got a situation that is currently untenable,” said Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson.

Branson’s pleas for action were echoed by towing companies.

the streets,” Commissioner Nancy Thellman said.

At a scene of an accident, motorists can choose whatever towing company they want to haul their vehicle away. But if the owner doesn’t have a preference, the county’s emergency dispatch will choose a company based on a rotating list of about 10 different towing companies.

The Lawrence JournalWorld recently reported about one Douglas County resident who paid $1,110 for a minivan to be towed six miles after an accident.

“There is such a disparity in what is going on here, it cries out for attention, and action needs to be taken,” Branson told the commission.

Legally, the district attorney’s office is restricted from pursuing consumer protection charges, and the 1995 federal Motor Carrier Act prohibits governments from putting limits on the price, route or service of towing companies.

Private inurnment will be in Oak Hill Cemetery at a later date. Pastor David Rivers will be officiating.

She died Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at her home.

Margaret was born on November 4, 1913 in Lawrence, KS, the daughter of Asa R. and Nellie (Everett) Colman.

Margaret attended Kanwaka Grade School and Liberty Memorial High School and graduated from the University of Kansas in 1937 with Phi Beta Kappa honors and a B.A. in Sociology.

She taught for eleven years in elementary schools and two years in Continuing Education at KU. She later worked in the Audio and Visual Department at the University of Kansas as an Audio/Visual Methods Supervisor.

Sens. Laura Kelly, DTopeka, and Dick Kelsey, R-Goddard, said the managed care companies that will be taking over Medicaid under KanCare have no experience providing long-term assistance for those with developmental disabilities.

Lobb added, “KanCare will hurt us in the long run because these companies’ biggest concern is making money, not what is best for us.”

Brownback and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer have maintained KanCare will improve health care and reduce costs.

Concerning developmental disability services, Brownback said on Wednesday, “We believe that allowing another year of discussion and input

County staff proposed several ways to help alleviate the problem. One would be to follow the example of the Wichita Police Department, which hands out a pricing sheet to help motorists choose which towing company they want to use.

Law enforcement could also treat every tow from an accident as one where the customer doesn’t have a preference and then use towing companies that have entered into a contract with the county. That contract could include a set pricing agreement.

This is the method being used by Lenexa and Overland Park.

County counselor Evan Ice recommended that instead of having the County Commission pass an ordinance, the sheriff’s office should adopt a policy to provide pricing information at the scene of accidents.

At Wednesday’s meeting, representatives from t o w i n g companies agreed that something needed to be done but weren’t quite COUNTY sure if the COMMISSION county had the right policies in mind.

Gentry said that it would be hard to set one price on a tow because the kinds of accidents and locations can be so different.

“Some accidents are simple and take five minutes. Some are very bad and take two hours to do,” he said.

Jerry Taylor with Hillcrest Wrecker and Garage believes the county needs to set higher standards for getting onto the rotation list. Right now, Taylor said, there are companies on the list that are out of business or some that only do jump starts.

In the more than three decades that Taylor has been in business, there has typically been just three or four companies on the rotation list. Today, he said, there are nine of them.

“What it does for those of us trying to make a living at this, when you go from four on the rotation to nine, now you have less business and exorbitant prices to stay in business,” he said.

was involved in an accident with a car, according to Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

The bicyclist was traveling east on the north sidewalk of Bob Billings Parkway heading toward Wagon Wheel Road when a driver traveling south on Wagon Wheel stopped at a stop sign to check traffic, McKinley said.

He said the driver determined it was safe, and the bicycle rider then struck the right rear quarter panel of the vehicle, causing minor damage to the bicycle and vehicle and causing the bicycle rider to fall.

The cyclist was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with injuries that weren’t believed to be serious.

After those two accidents, dispatchers said emergency officials requested ambulances from Johnson County to be on standby in case additional

help was needed. Division Chief Eve Tolefree, a Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical spokeswoman, said the request was canceled later in the afternoon.

Also, at 3:05 p.m.

Wednesday, one person suffered a fractured arm after a two-vehicle accident in North Lawrence, McKinley said.

The crash occurred when a northbound vehicle entered the intersection and collided with a vehicle coming west off the exit for the Kansas Turnpike entrance. Officers were still investigating circumstances of the crash Wednesday, he said, and the injured person went to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Jones, however, said that center was shut down 18 months ago and SRS officials continue to talk about it to cast aspersions about other centers.

Rep. Ward said the centers must be held accountable but questioned the timing of SRS’ testimony on the audits. He noted the testimony came right after the revelation that the federal government was looking into whether state spending on services for those with disabilities was inadequate.

And he noted it also came on the day that those with developmental disabilities were holding the rally challenging Brownback’s KanCare proposal.

LAWRENCE BUSINESS

Missouri ‘deal-maker’ chosen to lead Chamber

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A longtime Missouri economic development leader, touted as a dealmaker, will become the next president and CEO of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

Greg Williams, a former senior vice president of economic development for the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce, is slated to assume the chamber’s top executive position in late May, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce leaders announced Wednesday.

“It was clear to me that there is a lifestyle in Lawrence that my family and I will enjoy very much,” Williams said. “And there is a tremendous amount of potential for economic development in Lawrence.

There is a chance to move the bar, raise the bar significantly.”

Williams has served the last two years as the director of research parks for

the University of Missouri. But from 1995 to 2010, he worked for the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce, Williams serving as the No. 2 executive in the 2,000 member chamber for the last seven years.

Cindy Yulich, chairwoman of the search committee for the Lawrence chamber, said Williams’ success in Springfield impressed the search committee.

“What we saw is a knowledge of how economic development really works, and a knowledge of who you need to be working with in those circles,” said Yulich, who added that Williams comes armed with long-standing relationships with many site selectors who work in the region.

While in Springfield, Williams helped raise

more than $4.5 million in a five-year period for economic development and helped broker deals involving $350 million in new investments in the Springfield region since 1995, according to his resume.

“Greg knows how to make things happen,” said Jim Anderson, president and CEO of the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce. “He knows how to put deals together.”

Williams, 49, said Lawrence’s quality of life, the presence of Kansas University, and its geographic location make it a “prime market for economic development.” Williams also said the opportunity to help redevelop the former 400-acre Farmland fertilizer plant into a new business park was attractive. He said he worked to develop two major business parks in Springfield that have attracted more than 35 manufacturers to the region.

Security questions complicate withdrawal from Afghanistan

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

The planned 2014 withdrawal from Afghanistan of most U.S. military and NATO forces doesn’t come without huge questions that will affect regional and global security, experts at a Kansas University conference said Wednesday.

“Everybody in the region wants a long-term and stable Afghanistan,” said Marlene Laruelle, a research professor at George Washington University’s Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies.

But among nations there are different concepts of stability, said Laruelle in her keynote address at the Kansas Union to the third annual KU-Fort Leavenworth Security Conference.

Since the war began in 2001, the country has undergone positive changes in education, political reforms, health and some women’s issues, but many challenges remain, said Laruelle and Ahmad Majidyar, a senior research associate at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research.

“These gains and achievements are reversible and fragile,” Majidyar said.

Corruption remains a

GRAEME HERD, head of the International Security Program at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, speaks on “After Afghanistan: Implications and Emerging Paradigms after Withdrawal” during a conference Wednesday at Kansas University. problem in Hamid Karzai’s government, and Majidyar said he worried about funding cuts to Afghan security forces and police as American and NATO military members leave the country.

Also the Taliban insurgency remains a threat, he said.

“They have a mantra: You have the watches, but we have the time, so we can wait you out,” he said.

States in the region — Russia, Iran, China, Pakistan, India, Turkey and others — also have a vested interest in what happens in Afghanistan for both political and economic reasons, the speakers said.

Some Russian leaders are skeptical and think the United States is in Afghanistan to create “an infrastructure for countering and restraining” China and Iran, said Vadim Kozyulin, director of the Conventional Arms Program at the Center for Policy Studies in Moscow.

And Iran and China both are looking to natural resources in Afghanistan, said Graeme Herd, head of the International Security Program at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.

“We really can see how Afghanistan,” Laruelle said, “is in fact a catalyst of a lot of other issues that cannot be solved easily.”

The Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies and the Center for Global and International Studies, together with the Foreign Military Studies Office at Fort Leavenworth organized the conference.

Senate leaders decry proposed tax cuts

Chamber CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

———————

Lawmakers say Kansans asking for lower property, not income, rates

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — As legislators Wednesday resumed the 2012 session, Gov. Sam Brownback reiterated his call for significant tax reform, but a trio of legislative leaders in his own party say Brownback’s proposal is not what Kansans want.

In an interview with the Lawrence Journal-World, Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, Senate Vice President John Vratil, R-Leawood, and Senate Majority Leader Jay Emler, R-McPherson, said the public is not supportive of Brownback’s desire to phase out the income tax.

Emler said when he has coffee meetings with constituents in his district, no one expresses a desire to cut state income taxes.

“They’re asking about property taxes being lowered,” he said.

And they want some of the state’s growing surplus — now projected at more than $600 million — to be used to restore some of the school funding that has been cut over the past several years.

The three leaders shared results of a poll of

600 likely Republican voters that was taken statewide before the start of the legislative session in Emler January.

Asked which tax they would like to see reduced or eliminated, 45 percent of those likely voters said Morris property taxes; 27 percent, income taxes; and 16 percent, sales tax.

Asked w h a t should be Vratil done with the surplus, 38 percent said restore previous cuts to services such as education; 35 percent said save a portion in a rainy day fund; and 17 percent said cut taxes.

Asked which cuts should be restored first, schools got 34 percent; infrastructure/highways, 20 percent; services for

the elderly and those with disabilities, 16 percent; services for children and low-income families, 8 percent; and public safety, 7 percent.

“There is just no public outcry to reduce the income tax,” Vratil said.

Brownback’s plan cuts individual income tax rates and exempts 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other small businesses from any income taxes on their business earnings. To offset the loss of revenue to the state, the plan would eliminate tax credits and deductions and keep the state’s sales tax at 6.3 percent instead of dropping it to 5.7 percent in July 2013 as scheduled. In public statements, Brownback has pushed hard for the elimination of the nonwage income taxes for the wide range of businesses, comparing it to shooting adrenaline to the heart.

In a column published as legislators returned for the wrap-up session, Brownback wrote, “Now the Legislature has the opportunity to enact significant tax reform and prevent another lost decade of economic decline.

“Empowered by a tax policy that is built on lib-

erty and rewards hard work, we can accelerate economic growth, create well-paying jobs, increase family and community stability, and reduce the number of children living in poverty.”

But the three Senate leaders said they would rather see enacted a bipartisan plan passed earlier by the Senate that would provide $180 million over four years to local governments to buy down property taxes.

Several of the tax-cutting proposals in a HouseSenate conference committee would remove too much revenue from the state, the three leaders said.

That House-Senate conference committee picked up its work Wednesday. One proposal that seemed to gain traction with Republicans on the committee was to require Kansans who receive the Earned Income Tax Credit and food sales tax rebate to only be allowed to benefit from one or the other but not both.

“I’m really looking forward to building and nurturing relationships with city, county, university officials,” Williams said.

“We’re excited to get to know the community.”

Williams said he, his wife and their 23-monthold triplets soon will begin the process of searching for a home in Lawrence. Williams, who received a degree from Central Missouri State University in 1985 in public relations, also has previously served in economic development jobs in Moberly, Mo., Brookfield, Mo., and the Missouri Department of Economic Development.

Williams replaces Tom Kern, who announced in July that he was leaving the Lawrence Chamber to take a similar position in Steamboat Springs, Colo. Chamber executive and longtime Lawrence businessman Hank Booth has served as the interim president and CEO for the past several months.

Yulich said she’s con-

fident Williams comes to the new job understanding the renewed level of importance community leaders have placed on economic development.

She said he also understands that Lawrence is the type of community that can have vigorous debates about economic development projects.

“If you talk to folks outside of Lawrence, they will tell you we are a challenging place,” Yulich said. “He knows that and is up for that. I think he is really going to help us draw the road map for a successful economic development program.”

Yulich said Williams’ nearly two-year stint at the University of Missouri also will help him in Lawrence because it acquaints him with how major research universities function. But Yulich also said Williams is aware that he can leave his black and gold ties behind.

“The last time I saw him, he was wearing a crimson and blue tie,” Yulich said.

Group of ex-GOP lawmakers: Schools need more funding

By Thomas Knapp Special to the Journal-World

TOPEKA — A group of nearly 50 former legislators — all Republicans — called for increased funding to public schools and spoke against proposals to eliminate the state income tax.

Rochelle Chronister, a former legislator and former chairwoman of the Kansas Republican Party, said the looming crisis for children’s education is a moral crisis.

“God and education have always been important to the people of our state and the Kansas Constitution reminds us that,” Chronister said during a news conference on the first day of the 2012 wrap-

“

The first responsibility of Kansas Legislature is to ensure the education of our children.”

— Rochelle Chronister, a former legislator and former chairwoman of the Kansas Republican Party up session. “The first responsibility of Kansas Legislature is to ensure the education of our children.”

Legislators are currently fighting over school funding and tax cut proposals.

Tax distribution was also a topic of discussion for the former legislators, citing imbalances in prop-

erty, sales and use, income and privilege, and miscellaneous taxes.

The group issued a report that said property taxes make up for 35 percent of all taxes, putting income and privilege taxes at roughly 24 percent.

Chronister said gradually reducing income taxes instead of increasing funding for education would further unbalance an already disproportionate taxing system, inevitably causing taxpayers to spend more on property and sales taxes.

Chronister did not say whether the group, called Traditional Republicans for Common Sense, would finance campaigns of other Republicans in the next election cycle.

House committee looks at measure that advocates individual rights

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A Kansas House of Representative committee discussed a resolution Wednesday that proponents said advocates for individual rights threatened by the federal government.

The Veterans, Military and Homeland Security committee held a hearing on HR 6021, which opposes the LEGISLATURE 2012 National Defense Authorization Act signed by President Barack Obama.

According to the resolution, the NDAA allows the “arrest, detention and rendition of American citizens without trial.”

Even if passed, the resolution would have no effect on the federal law.

“It’s just a statement,” said Rep. Mario Goico, RWichita. “It doesn’t change anything other than make a statement on what the position of the House is.”

Still, the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Charlotte O’Hara, ROverland Park, said it was an important first step in opposing the bill.

“A whisper is better than nothing,” she said.

The NDAA is enacted each year to appropriate military funding and au-

thorize military activities.

Obama signed this year’s 565-page bill on Dec. 31, 2011.

Goico said the NDAA extended the powers given to President Bush in 2001 to the Obama Administration. O’Hara said she introduced the resolution because it is time “get back what the state’s and individual’s rights are in this country.”

“As our federal government continually encroaches, we absolutely have to say no more,” she said. “Obamacare is an excellent example.”

Along with providing $662 billion in defense funding for the fiscal year, the bill contained two controversial provisions. According to a 25-page memo drafted by the Kansas Legislative Research Department, one provision, Section 1021, affirms the authority given to the president in 2001 to detain persons implicated in the 9/11 attacks or who is “a part of or substantially supported al-Qaida, the Taliban or associated forces.” Section 1022 of the bill allows the military detention of any person covered by Section 1021 or who “participated in the course of planning or carrying out an attack or attempted attack against the United States or its coalition partners.”

According to the same

memo, critics argue that the provisions do not extend protection for United States citizens or lawful residents. They also argue the executive branch will determine which people meet the criteria and that terms in the bill are undefined.

However, the memo cited several sources, including the American Civil Liberties Union, that stated the NDAA does not grant any new powers to detain U.S. citizens. The ACLU does advocate ending the 2001 authorization extended in Section 1021 when combat operations end in Afghanistan.

Obama has stated his administration will interpret the bill in accordance to “the constitution, laws of war and other applicable laws,” according to the memo.

Because of the high number of people wishing to speak, testimony was limited to five minutes.

The hearing is expected to continue into today’s committee meeting.

United Way announces new leader, approach to funding

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Here’s one item the United Way of Douglas County says it won’t be supporting in the future: the status quo.

The organization has announced Baldwin City resident Becki Dick as its 2012 campaign fundraising chairwoman, and leaders also are working to educate the public about how it is changing its approach to funding social service agencies.

“We feel like we have a plan in place that will allow us, now more than ever, to tell people the investments they make in the community will deliver the results that will make a difference,” said Dick, who along with her husband owns and operates a Baldwin City-based forklift manufacturing company.

The United Way is entering the second year of a three-year program to build its annual funding designations around three community goals: education, self sufficiency and health. Over the past year, the United Way board has adopted a plan to jointly fund several organizations that have come together to create a plan to improve kindergarten readiness, high school graduation rates and other key educational outcomes.

ON THE RECORD

— Becki Dick, 2012 United Way campaign fundraising chairwoman Now in year two, United Way leaders expect to receive a joint proposal from several organizations working to improve systems to make individuals more self-sufficient. Colleen Gregoire, vice president and campaign director for the United Way, said leaders with the Lawrence Community Shelter, The Salvation Army, Housing and Credit Counseling, Ballard Community Services, the Douglas-County Housing Authority and others are meeting monthly to come up with a proposal on how the groups can work together to provide access to emergency assistance, affordable housing and other safety net services. Next year, the United Way will expect health-oriented organizations to come together to present a joint funding request related to health initiatives.

The United Way will kick off its fundraising drive with its Pacesetters Campaign, a group of area businesses that raise funds at their offices, in August. The general public campaign will begin in mid-September and run through early December.

Dick said the United Way board hasn’t yet set an official dollar goal for the campaign but will do so later this summer. The 2011 campaign raised $1.7 million, which is about what was raised in 2010. Dick said there will be significant discussion about setting the dollar goal higher for the 2012 campaign.

“I have faith in our community,” Dick said. “I know this is a community that wants to help others in need.”

Leadership Lawrence to celebrate 30 years

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Thirty years ago, a group of Lawrence residents picked up on a trend: The same few people were constantly stepping up to serve as leaders of community organizations and boards.

“The same people were getting reappointed to the boards and commissions around town because there wasn’t a pipeline of new people to do it,” said Nelson Krueger, a Lawrence resident. “We realized the only way to change that was to get young people involved in the process earlier.”

The result was the formation of Leadership Lawrence. The program began holding its first classes in 1982, and the group will celebrate its 30th anniversary at a banquet at 6 p.m. Friday at Maceli’s, 1031 N.H. With the graduation of this year’s class, which also will take place Friday, the organization will have 700 alumni members, said Sue Hack, executive director of the program.

“These days, I don’t know if you can point to

Q: A:

a volunteer board in this community that doesn’t have at least one Leadership Lawrence graduate,” Hack said. “That is what we really try to teach. We want people to find their passion, find out what really motivates them, and then go act on it.”

Friday’s event, entitled Legends of Leadership Lawrence, will recognize the founders of the program, which included Krueger and about 20 other members of the community.

Several residents who helped found Leadership Lawrence are expected to be in attendance at Friday’s event, including Hank Booth, Ed Carter, Jean Milstead and Shirley Martin Smith.

This year’s class includes 35 members, who met once a month during the school year to learn about subjects such as Lawrence government, social services, art, media, economic development and civic responsibility.

The leadership program, which is run through the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, will begin accepting applications in June and will begin meeting in September.

INJURY ACCIDENT • An accident at Ninth and Tennessee streets Wednesday night held up traffic slightly but resulted in no serious injuries, Lawrence Police Sgt. Craig Shanks said.

At about 9:15 p.m., a woman driving a Ford Mustang ran a red light at the intersection, Shanks said, and hit a white pickup truck headed west on Ninth.

Medical crews were initially called to the scene, and it was believed the driver of the Mustang would need to be extricated from the car, but fire crews were able to get her out. She and the driver of the truck had minor injuries and declined medical treatment at the scene.

Supreme Court hints it’s OK with immigration law

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day

10am - 2pm Douglas County Courthouse 1100 Mass St.

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Bucking the Obama administration, Supreme Court justices seemed to find little trouble Wednesday with major parts of Arizona’s tough immigration law that require police to check the legal status of people they stop for other reasons.

But the fate of other provisions that make Arizona state crimes out of immigration violations was unclear in the court’s final argument of the term.

The latest clash between states and the administration turns on the extent of individual states’ roles in dealing with the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants. Immigration policy is essentially under the federal government’s control, but a half-dozen Republican-dominated states have passed their own restrictions out of frustration with what they call Washington’s inaction to combat an illegal flood.

Parts of laws adopted by Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah also are on hold pending the high court’s decision.

Civil rights groups say the Arizona law and those in some other states encourage racial profiling and ethnic stereotyping, and debate over such laws could have an impact on this fall’s elections. More than 200 protesters gathered outside the court, most of them opposed to the Arizona law.

However, in an unusual comment, Chief Justice John Roberts made clear at the outset of the administration’s argument Wednesday that the court was looking only at stateversus-federal power, not the civil rights concerns

LEONIDA MARTINEZ, from Phoenix, second from left, and others take part in a demonstration Wednesday in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., as the court questions Arizona’s “show me your papers” immigration law. that already are the subject of other lawsuits. “So this is not a case about ethnic profiling,” Roberts said.

That matter dealt with, both liberal and conservative justices reacted skeptically to the administration’s argument that the state exceeded its authority when it made the records check, and another provision allowing suspected illegal immigrants to be arrested without warrants, part of the Arizona law aimed at driving illegal immigrants elsewhere.

“You can see it’s not selling very well,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor told Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. Verrilli tried to convince the justices that they should view the law in its entirety, and as inconsistent with federal immigration policy. He said the records check would allow the state to “engage effectively in mass incarceration” of immigrants lacking documentation.

He said the law embodying Arizona’s approach of maximum enforcement conflicts with a more nu-

anced federal immigration policy that seeks to balance national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, human rights and the rights of law-abiding citizens and immigrants.

But Roberts was among those on the court who took issue with Verrilli’s characterization of the check of immigration status, saying the state merely wants to notify federal authorities it has someone in custody who may be in the U.S. illegally. “It seems to me that the federal government just doesn’t want to know who’s here illegally and who’s not,” Roberts said.

Verrilli did not mention Wednesday that the administration has deported nearly 400,000 people a year, far more than previous administrations, although the information was included in written submissions to the court.

The other provisions that have been put on hold by lower federal courts make it a state crime for immigrants not to have registration papers and for illegal immigrants to seek work or hold jobs.

BRIEFLY Record-high temp set Wednesday It was a hot one.

The high temperature recorded for today in Lawrence — 94 degrees — beat a record set April 25, 1989, by two degrees.

That record is technically unofficial, the National Weather Service’s Jennifer Bowman said, as the official daily register of the mercury didn’t start in Lawrence until 1996. But on that day in Topeka, it was also 92 degrees. And today was even more sweltering in Topeka, Bowman said, as a record-breaking 97 degrees was recorded, tied for the highest temperature in April since 1893.

Half marathon nets $63K for clinic Health Care Access, a safety net clinic in Lawrence, raised a record $63,000 Sunday through its Kansas Half Marathon event, which had nearly 2,400 participants.

The amount of money raised was 133 percent more than last year’s event and will help provide medical care for low-income, uninsured residents of Douglas County.

Nikki White, executive director, credited new event coordinator Kim Johnson and new race director Troy Fitzgerald, of KC Running Company, for the success.

“The funds raised will make a significant impact on our increased demand for services,” White said.

The clinic, 330 Maine, estimates it will have 10,0000 patient visits this year.

The next event will be April 21, 2013.

Mad cow not high on food risk list

WASHINGTON (AP) — If the mad cow found in California has you wondering about food safety, well, there are plenty of problems that pose serious risks to the food supply. But mad cow disease shouldn’t be high on the worry list.

Just in the past few months, Americans have been sickened by contaminated sprouts, raw milk and sushi. Thirty people died last year from bacteria-tainted cantaloupe. And when it comes to hamburger, a dangerous strain of E. coli that can lurk in ground beef sickens thousands of people every year.

“What we know is that 3,000 Americans die every year from preventable foodborne illnesses that are not linked” to mad cow disease, said Sarah Klein of the consumer advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest. “Things like E. coli, salmonella — that’s where we should be focusing our attention, outrage and policy.”

The comparable numbers for mad cow disease? Four sick cows ever discovered in the U.S., the one announced Tuesday being the first since 2006, and no human version of the illness linked to eating U.S. beef.

“From simply a public health issue, I put it very, very low,” Cornell University food safety expert Martin Wiedmann said of the level of concern about mad cow disease.

BRIEFLY New guidelines for background checks WASHINGTON — Is an arrest in a barroom brawl 20 years ago a job disqualifier?

Not necessarily, the government said Wednesday in new guidelines on how employers can avoid running afoul of laws prohibiting job discrimination.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s updated policy on criminal background checks is part of an effort to rein in practices that can limit job opportunities for minorities that have higher arrest and conviction rates than whites.

“The ability of AfricanAmericans and Hispanics to gain employment after prison is one of the paramount civil justice issues of our time,” said Stuart Ishimaru, one of three Democrats on the five-member commission.

But some employers say the new policy — approved in a 4-1 vote — could make it more cumbersome and expensive to conduct background checks. Companies see the checks as a way to keep workers and customers safe, weed out unsavory workers and prevent negligent hiring claims.

“It’s clear Romney is the nominee and the focus should be on defeating Obama.

We should not focus on Gingrich defeating ourselves,” Gingrich told disappointed supporters in Kings Mountain, N.C., the morning after Romney tightened his grip on the nomination by sweeping primary contests in five states.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry endorsed Gingrich when he ended his own White House bid in January but later Wednesday posted an endorsement of Romney on his campaign website.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Content for now with the current course, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke left open the possibility Wednesday that the Fed will take further action to stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment — but not at the cost of high inflation.

He spoke to reporters after Fed policymakers ended a two-day meeting by sticking to their plan to keep interest rates near zero through at least late 2014. The officials said the economy is growing moderately and that the pace will likely pick up.

But they also cautioned that unemployment won’t fall sharply anytime soon and that risks from Europe’s debt crisis remain.

Free birds: Burger King makes promise to raise livestock out of cages

By Tracie Cone Associated Press

In a boost to animal welfare activists looking to get livestock out of cramped cages, Burger King will be the first major U.S. fast-food chain to give all of its chickens and pigs some room to roam.

On Wednesday, the world’s second-biggest burger chain pledged that all of its eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs by 2017, hoping to satisfy rising consumer demand for humanely produced fare and increase its sales in the process.

Other companies have made similar but less broad announcements this year, part of an industrywide shift to consider animal welfare when buying food supplies.

“Even if you’re buying a burger, you want to buy it from someone you like and respect,” said food industry analyst Phil Lempert, who writes a daily industry newsletter. “It’s proven that consumers are willing to pay a little bit more for fairness, whether it’s to humans or animals.”

Conventionally raised eggs come from hens confined in “battery cages,” which give them roughly the same space as a sheet of standard notebook paper. Most pork comes from sows confined during their four-month preg-

nancies in narrow crates.

The hens would still be housed in a barn, but they have room to move and perches and nesting boxes.

Sows are also held indoors, but they would not be confined in the cramped crates while they are pregnant.

Egg and pork producers have argued that easing confinement standards for animals raises production costs and makes those who adjust their practices less competitive.

Animal welfare groups applauded Burger King’s decision.

“So many tens of thousands of animals will now be in better living conditions,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, which has been pushing Burger King and other companies to adopt similar policies.

“Numerically, this is significant because Burger King is such a big purchaser of these products.”

Burger King uses hundreds of millions of eggs and tens of millions of pounds of pork annually, and its decision could be a game-changing move in the supply business as a huge new market opens up for humanely raised food animals.

Already 9 percent of the company’s eggs and 20 percent of the pork served at its 7,200 restaurants are cage-free.

Unsung heroes Help us celebrate some of the people who make Lawrence such a great place.

T

he second annual Only In Lawrence honorees will be unveiled at 5:30 p.m. today during a reception in the Journal-World’s News Center, Seventh and New Hampshire streets.

The community is invited to join in the celebration.

It’s a good bet that some of the honorees will be names most people don’t recognize. That’s just what Only In Lawrence is about: paying tribute to people who don’t often get the headlines but without whom Lawrence wouldn’t be the community it is.

More than 50 people will be featured in the 2012 Only In Lawrence special edition of the Journal-World being published Sunday. The honorees are people who help make Lawrence a wonderful and interesting place to live, work, learn and recreate.

To make room for the stories, Sunday’s Journal-World has been expanded by two sections. More people will be featured in the newspaper in the days to come.

Only In Lawrence recognizes people in five categories: community, learning, arts, sports and history. There is also a top overall honoree, who will appear on the front page of Sunday’s Journal-World.

Most of those being recognized were nominated by readers wanting to thank or highlight someone who has made his or her life better. Also involved in the nominating process were honorees from the inaugural 2011 Only In Lawrence class. Our reporters and editors also tapped their sources for more people to consider.

Only in Lawrence is an annual event.

Please help us get started for next year by nominating other Lawrencians we should be celebrating.

Until then, smile at the people you pass in the street, bake your neighbor a cake, cheer a local softball team on at the ballpark. Embrace and enjoy our community, as the Journal-World does this week with Only in Lawrence.

Illinois still needs reality check WASHINGTON — After trying to tax Illinois to governmental solvency and economic dynamism, Pat Quinn, a Democrat who has been governor since 2009, now says “our rendezvous with reality has arrived.”

Actually, Illinois is still reality-averse, so Americans may soon learn the importance of the freedom to fail in a system of competitive federalism.

Illinois was more heavily taxed than the five contiguous states (Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin) even before January 2011, when Quinn got a lame duck Legislature (its successor has fewer Democrats) to raise corporate taxes 30 percent (from 7.3 percent to 9.5 percent), giving Illinois one of the highest state corporate taxes, and the fourth highest combination of national and local corporate taxation in the industrialized world.

Since 2009, Quinn has spent more than $500 million in corporate welfare to bribe companies not to flee the tax environment he has created.

Quinn raised personal income taxes 67 percent (from 3 percent to 5 percent), adding about $1,040 to the tax burden of a family of four earning $60,000. Illinois’ unemployment rate increased faster than any other state’s in 2011. Its pension system is the nation’s most underfunded, and the state has floated bond issues to finance pension contributions — borrowing money that someday must be repaid, to replace what should have been pen-

Quinn’s recent flirtation with realism — a plan to raise the retirement age to 67 and cap pension cost-of-living adjustments — is less significant than the continuing unrealistic expectation that some Illinois’ pension investments will grow 8.5 percent annually. Although the state Constitution mandates balancing the budget, this is almost meaningless while the state sells bonds to pay for operating expenses (in just 10 years the state’s bonded debt has increased from $9.4 billion to $30 billion), underfunds pensions and other liabilities, and makes vendors wait (they are owed $5.6 billion).

The Illinois Policy Institute, a limited-government think tank, in a report cheekily titled “Another $54 Billion!?” argues

that in addition to the $83 billion in pension underfunding the state acknowledges, there is $54 billion in unfunded retiree health liabilities over the next 30 years. Illinois, a stronghold of public employees unions, “is on pace to spend nearly $1 billion on retiree health care benefits in fiscal year 2013, more than double what it spent in 2003.

Worse yet, these liabilities are growing more than twice as fast as tax revenues.”

To prepare for Illinois’ probable plunge into insolvency, read “Freedom to Fail: The Keystone of American Federalism”

by Paul E. Peterson and Daniel Nadler in the University of Chicago Law Review. They note that only 25 of the world’s 193 nations have federal systems, and in most of the 25, the freedom of the lower tiers of government is more circumscribed by the central government than American state governments are by the federal government. American states’ greater freedom — autonomy under America’s system of dual sovereignty — from the central government’s supervision requires that they be disciplined instead by the market for government bonds, and the real possibility of default.

Peterson, a professor of government at Harvard, and Nadler, a doctoral candidate also at Harvard, say collective bargaining rights for government employees pose “a dramatically new challenge to the viability” of American federalism. They cite studies demonstrating that investors’

OLD HOME TOWN

PUBLIC FORUM To the editor: Last week, my husband and I experienced a modern day “Good Samaritan” act. We are in our 80s and we monitor the bluebird trail at the Rotary Arboretum.

Monitoring consists of taking a census and getting rid of wasps, ants and sparrows.

On the day in question we had almost completed the trail when my husband’s legs gave out. At first he sat on one of the markers for the trees and then he tried to walk down the sidewalk. At that time, two or three adults in their 20s to 40s walked by with their eyes on their feet. They had to have seen that we were in trouble.

A little later a teenage couple walked by and spoke to us, and when my husband fell the young man came running. After much difficulty, he got my husband into the car and wanted to follow us home to be sure I could get him out of the car. We told him that he didn’t need to do that. We had neighbors who could help or his legs would work by then. He was insistent but we wouldn’t allow it.

We were so touched by his assistance and his willingness to go the “second mile” that we are glad that we live in Lawrence with so many fine teenagers like the young man who helped us.

Charline Freitag, Lawrence

perceptions of risk of default are correlated with the rate of unionization among government employees. Higher percentages of government employees who are unionized, and larger Democratic shares of state legislative seats, correlate with increases in state borrowing costs.

At least 12 percent of Americans change their residences each year, often moving to more hospitable economic environments. In a system of competitive federalism, Peterson and Nadler write, “If states and localities attempt in a serious way to tax the rich and give to the poor, the rich will depart while the poor will be attracted.” And government revenues and expenditures vary inversely.

From September through December 2008, the premium that investors demanded before they would buy California debt rather than U.S. treasuries jumped from 24 to 271 basis points (100 points equals 1 percent). The bond market, the only remaining reality check for state politicians, must be allowed to work.

Constitutional jurisprudence affirms that states exercising substantial autonomous powers thereby assume concomitant risks. Federal loans or other bailouts of misgoverned states would remove bond market discipline, the only inhibition on the alliance between the Democratic portion of the political class and unionized public employees.

Germany will try to preserve eurozone WASHINGTON — With Socialist leader Francois Hollande likely to become the next president of France, Europe’s hot populist anger is about to confront the cold austerity measures required by the eurozone, with a predictable result: a storm that rattles the foundations of the European economic house.

Financial traders and treasury ministers this week are debating just how much damage this political-economic collision will bring. Some argue that it could take down the structure entirely. Others insist that Germany, for all its insistence on austerity, will never let the structure collapse — and will make the necessary concessions to keep the common currency intact.

Europe is a crisis that keeps on going, breaking through each firewall and emergency bailout. The reason is that, under Germany’s leadership, the Europeans have opted for a combination of austerity measures and rescue plans that has had the effect of financing ever-growing indebtedness.

The European Central Bank is pumping in liquidity, which keeps bleeding out because the austerity measures don’t allow the economies to grow and heal themselves. It’s a perpetual motion machine of economic frustration.

“Liquidity can at best provide only temporary relief — it cannot substitute for the painful restructuring that is necessary to tackle solvency problems,” argued Mervyn King, the governor of the

David Ignatius

“

The economic future of Europe depends on which way France moves — and whether it can pull Germany with it.”

Bank of England, in a speech last month.

So far, the crisis has been cast as a battle between a frugal, prosperous northern Europe and the profligate, debtladen south. But soon, the decisive player will be France, arguably the defining country of Europe, which embodies at once the northern work-ethic and the southern propensity for debt. The economic future of Europe depends on which way France moves — and whether it can pull Germany with it.

If Hollande wins the May 6 runoff election and becomes president, as pollsters predict, he has promised to press Germany for a relaxation of Europe’s new fiscal treaty.

“Europe can’t just impose austerity,” Hollande told Bloomberg News Tuesday.

Political protests have spread across the southern countries where budget cuts

have been imposed, including Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy. Even the Netherlands, normally one of Germany’s strongest allies in demanding austerity, seems to be joining the dissidents. On Monday, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte offered to resign after one far-right party in his center-right coalition rejected the budget cuts he proposed.

The protesters argue that bleeding the sick economies through severe budget cuts has only made them weaker.

On Tuesday, for example, Greece’s central bank predicted that the country’s economy will shrink 5 percent this year, even more than expected, and that unemployment will increase to 19 percent. Meanwhile, Greece’s debt-to-GDP ratio continues to grow.

So far, Germany hasn’t blinked. The German public supports Chancellor Angela Merkel’s insistence that Europe work its way out of debt. But Germans also support European union, and U.S. officials bet that in the end, Merkel will agree to loosen the austerity conditions enough to keep the French on board. Merkel will bend the eurozone’s rules, these officials think, rather than risk busting the currency.

But there’s another school of thought, centered among government officials and financial traders in London, which is far less sanguine than Washington about where this story is headed. Each rescue

measure only extends the crisis, argue these euro-skeptics, because the bailouts repair a structure that is fundamentally unsound. The eurozone countries lack any mechanism for financial adjustment; the weak countries cannot devalue their currencies — and thereby lower their wages and prices relative to competitors — because they are locked into a single currency whose value reflects the overwhelming strength of Germany.

The happiest outcome, contend the skeptics, would be the dreaded euro breakup, which would free countries to devalue, grow and prosper again.

I’m unconvinced about the benefits of a full-blown breakup. The negative effects would likely include chaotic markets, tangled business contracts and capital flight; the benefits are clear in economic theory, but less certain in fact.

Markets have a way of solving problems that otherwise seem intractable. According to Goldman Sachs analysts, real wages in Germany will grow about 1.5 percent to 2 percent this year, as German workers demand a greater share of prosperity.

Meanwhile, wages in many other European countries are declining as the crisis deepens. This should produce the beginning of a de-facto revaluation of the “German euro” and a devaluation of most other “euros” — but without the catastrophic side effects.

Now Delivering For Lunch!

Samp says: an insider’s look at LCC

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kristen Samp, a Class A teaching professional at Lawrence Country Club, golfed at the University of Missouri (1992-1996), spent 11 years

as a touring pro (LPGA and LPGA Futures tour) and is in her fourth year at LCC. Samp finished as high as third in the Big 8 championship and knows the keys to going low at LCC, a course that is neither particularly

long nor tight, but is mined with trouble.

“If I had one piece of advice for LCC, it would be that long is wrong on every shot,” Samp said.

More than one LCC member favors keeping track

Hole 7 (Par 3, 162 yards) After a long walk up the hill to the tee, players will find our most striking par three. The steep downhill hole is surrounded by obstacles. Down the right side is a lateral hazard that turns into a small pond near the green. Down the left side and very close to the green is out of bounds. Prevailing winds can play havoc on even the best struck shots. Short of the green is the only safe place for a poorly struck shot. Once the player finds the green, a simple putt awaits them. The green gently slopes toward the front right.

Hole 8 (par 4, 374 yards) This remarkable hole is lined by trees and out of bounds. To the left the player finds a row of dense trees and then out of bounds. The right side is lined with towering trees that hang over into the fairway.

The fairway slopes hard from right to left. The perfect tee shot starts down the right rough line and then lets the natural slope of the land bring the ball back to the middle. Once the player has found the fairway, they are faced with one of the more difficult approach shots. A deep bunker guards the front of the green requiring a lofted shot to a front hole location. The bunker left makes for difficult up and downs. The collection area in the front right part of the green is the safe bailout. Beware of going for back hole location as thick fescue and out of bounds await. A large tier in the middle of the green defines two distinct areas. Putts hit toward the left portion of the green are extremely fast.

Hole 10 (Par 4, 388 yards) It plays much longer than the distance. A fairway bunker down the right side keeps even the longer hitters from being able to cut the corner on this dogleg right. The green angles away from the fairway in a similar fashion to the 5th green, which is just to the west.

This causes the green to be shallower than it looks. It is protected by two bunkers short, mounds right and left, and out of bounds long. The green is one of the flatter ones at Lawrence Country Club. Even longer putts are often holed.

Hole 6 (Par 4, 353 yards) It starts the journey back up the hill toward the clubhouse and parallels the 10th hole. The play is to hit the ball to 110 yards. For many, this will take driver out of their hands. A medium-sized pond crosses the fairway at 100 yards. For tee shots finding the fairway, navigating the pond is a cinch. If the player’s ball fails to find short grass there will be a tough decision on whether to go for the green or lay up. The second shot is uphill into a narrow, but long green. A bowl just off the green to the right catches many shots hit that direction. A steep incline on the left with the green running away makes for a difficult up and down if the ball is missed there. A large mound in the middle of the green will keep poorly struck shots from reaching a back hole location. Once the ball is in the proper section of the green, holing putts is uncomplicated.

of aprons in regulation to tracking greens in regulation because the best strategy on many holes is to aim for the apron and settle for an up-and-down par because the greens don’t hold hot shots.

Hole 9 (Par 4, 335 yards) Completing the front nine is a short par four that offers two possible fairways separated by sand bunkers. The fairway to the left is higher and gives a better view into the green, but the landing area is smaller and guarded on all sides by bunkers. The right fairway is much more open than the left, but does not give as good a view of the green. The approach shot is a short one but very important. Long shots will encounter a steep embankment beyond the green. A simple bunker shapes the front right portion of the green. The green has a large mound in the middle creating two distinct portions of the green.

Putts run away from the middle of the green and can be very quick.

Samp’s take on each of the 18 holes of the par-70 host course for the Big 12 championship that starts with a practice round today, followed by scheduled rounds Friday, Saturday and SunSamp day:

Hole 18 (Par 4, 371 yards) The final hole at LCC offers one of the best finishing holes in golf.

Every shot requires precision and quality execution. On the right side there is out of bounds and a severe slope that can bounce golf balls back to the middle of the fairway. Beware of the ball getting caught up in the tall rough though.

The fairway continues to slope left bringing the lake and fairway bunker into play. Once the tee shot has been negotiated, players are faced with a mid-iron to a narrow green that slopes from right to left. A green-side bunker near the front left will catch any shots that are not hit solid. The front left hole location is the most challenging as the green slopes hard from right to left. With a solid approach shot, birdies are often made on this finishing hole.

Hole 1 (Par 4, 359 yards) It’s the prefect preview of what is to come from the other 17 holes.

The fairway is generous, the hole is not very long, but once you approach the green, the degree of difficulty greatly increases. Most players will want to favor the left side of the fairway for the best approach to the green. A deep greenside bunker and limited area around the green require an accurate iron shot to the green. The approach shot plays uphill into a two-tiered green. Missed shots long or to the right often end up in tall fescue with unplayable lies.

There is a false front on the green so players will want to make sure they hit enough club into this difficult putting surface. The green slopes toward the fairway and the tiers can help to create very quick putts.

Hole 5 (Par 4, 363 yards) After the difficulty of the fourth hole, players will find the downhill fifth much more manageable.

The fairway curves around two bunkers creating a picturesque view down the hole. For the longer players, carrying the left fairway bunker is the best play off the tee.

The left side of the fairway offers a better angle into the green than the right. The green is angled from a southwesterly direction to a northeasterly direction. There are two greenside bunkers near the right side of the green. To the right of those, you will find the 10th green. As is common at Lawrence Country Club, a shot over the green can be devastating as there is a cart path and out of bounds. The green slopes to the left front. A hole location in the front third of the green is more difficult than it looks.

Hole 11 (Par 3, 142 yards) The shortest hole on the course can get tricky when the prevailing winds start blowing. It is guarded by our largest lake on the left. A severe slope to the water causes balls missed in that direction to take a swim. There is no room to bail out right as out of bounds and homes line the right side of this hole. The greenside bunker on the back right side of the green will catch all balls rolling long. A back hole location gives the player little room for error as this is the smallest part of the green. A tricky spine runs through the front portion of the green making green reading challenging.

Hole 4 (Par 4, 402 yards) This challenging, long par four plays much longer than its yardage. The uphill hole dog-legs slightly to the right. Players will want to stay in the middle to left side of the fairway to ensure a chance at being able to hit the green. The second shot plays uphill with few balls bouncing firmly enough in front of the green to get on the putting surface. There are two bunkers in the front right and front left of the green. A steep hill behind the green will often catch balls hit long before they find the tall fescue. Locals will tell you this is one of the more deceptively difficult greens at Lawrence Country Club. Putts running from the back of the green to the front are exceedingly fast. Holing out in four on this hole could put you ahead of most of the field.

Hole 12 (Par 5, 487 yards) This lengthy par five travels uphill all the way to the green. The player will have to drive the ball between two deep fairway bunkers. Out of bounds line the entire right side of the hole and can come into play with each shot. The 12th offers one of our more diabolical greens.

There is a huge swale in the middle. Players will have to weigh the risk/reward factor in going for a back hole location. Going over the green can make for a treacherous up and down but trying to lag putt to the back of the green can be just as difficult. The player must make sure they get their ball on the proper part of the green if they hope to one putt. Out of bounds encroaches on the right side of the green and the terrain slopes severely from right to left.

Hole 17 (Par 3, 169 yards) Once the player navigates the wind and sneakiness of the uphill shot, she will find three distinct sections to this green. Getting the approach shot in the appropriate portion of the green is essential.

The green slopes severely to the left toward the small lake. A deep bunker protects the left side of the green. A deceiving bunker is about 20 yards short of the green and can test the golfer’s ability to hit long bunker shots. Along the right side of the hole you will find more of the treacherous tall fescue. Another large ridge defines the front and back portions of this green. The ridge can make lag putting quite difficult if having to go over it. Putts traveling toward the front of the green are very fast.

Hole 3 (Par 5, 500 yards) This represents the first great chance of making birdie. This manageable hole rewards long hitters who can go for the green in two shots. The player will want to hug the left side of the fairway because they will run out of fairway down the right side. A four-acre lake sits about 80 yards from the green.

Players will have to weigh the risk/reward factor of going for the green in two carefully. If one chooses to layup, the best spot is at the 100 yard marker.

This allows for a simple, short shot into a receptive green. Beware though, an overly aggressive shot could find out of bounds over the green. Deep bunkers short and left of the green will catch any shots hits askew. The green has three distinct areas separated by mounds. Finding the correct one greatly increases the chances of making a putt.

Hole 13 (Par 4, 343 yards) The fairway is difficult to see as is the fairway bunker on the right side of this slight dogleg right. Players will want to avoid the trees and out of bounds on the right. The best tee shot is toward the towering trees on the left. This offers the best shot into the green.

Again, the green is closely guarded by two bunkers and out of bounds to the right and long. This is one of LCC’s longest greens so distance control on the approach is essential.

Hole 2 (Par 3, 156 yards) It sits in the side of a large hill. The green is shallow and it is challenging to see the hole on many parts of the green. A deep bunker in the front left and a steep embankment on the right make hitting the correct distance imperative. The player must pay attention to the speed of the green. Putts traveling to the southern part of the green are not near as fast as putts going the other direction.

Hole 14 (Par 4, 364 yards) The green is not visible from the tee, but the views from this hole are some of the best on the course.

The downhill hole is lined by trees on both sides. The fairway slopes from right to left throughout the hole, although it is hard to see that from the tee. A well played tee shot down the right center of the fairway sets up the best approach. The downhill shot into the green makes getting the ball close to the hole a little easier. The green has two tiers. The back tier slopes severely away from the fairway and to the left while the front tier has a more subtle slope.

Hole 16 (Par 4, 405 yards) This is Lawrence Country Club’s signature hole and it requires very disciplined course management.

The player will have to decide how much, if any, of the corner to cut on this sharp dogleg right. A ball that strays too far right can kick off the severe slope and bounce into tall fescue. The player will also want to avoid going through the fairway as another bunch of tall fescue waits. The second shot is where the fun begins and offers one of the more beautiful views of the course and clubhouse. The severe downhill approach requires perfect distance. A ball hit short of the green will end up in the water hazard. A ball over the green presents a very difficult up and down situation. The green slopes from back to front with a large ridge running through the middle. The upper left portion of the green is the most severely sloped and challenges even the best putters.

Hole 15 (Par 4, 365 yards) Back up the hill. Although it measures the same as the previous hole, it plays completely different.

An uphill, blind tee shot will test the player’s focus and trust. Tall, dense trees line both sides of the fairway. A well struck tee shot can set the player up for a shorter shot into a receptive green. A bunker guards the front portion of the green. The out of bounds is only steps away from the back of the green, so players will need to guard against overly aggressive approach shots. The green is very similar to the 13th green in that it is deep with a ridge running through the middle. A ball ending up on the proper half of the green has an excellent chance of being holed.

Weis trying to drum up game-day tradition

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Weis

Coming from a place like Notre Dame, where tradition drips off the walls of the football stadium, and operating in the shadow of Allen Fieldhouse, which he called “the Mecca of college basketball,” first-year Kansas University football coach

Charlie Weis has his sights set on adding a little tradition to Saturdays.

With that in mind, Weis on Tuesday met with KU band director Matthew Smith to discuss the idea of creating a postgame ceremony in which Weis’ football players would walk to the student section on the east side of Memorial Stadi-

um and sing the alma mater with their classmates while the band takes a spot on the field and faces the players and students.

“I know when you are 2-10 it is tougher for the students to buy in and show that same kind of loyalty and devotion to the football team,” Weis said. “I think we have to do something on

the field to help that. I get it.

But at the same time, if you don’t ever try to make that bond between the football team and the students and the band, then how is it ever going to happen? Just by accident?”

Weis continued: “It’s really tough to go up in front of your students after losing a football game to sing

the alma mater. I have done it; it’s tough. It is also tough for the students to stay there until the end of the game to be a part of that. We are going to own up to our end of the bargain. We are going to be there. I am going to start Tweeting to death, to start working those students to make sure they are there, too.”

Finally: Royals put end to skid CLEVELAND (AP) — Now the Kansas City Royals want to start a streak they can be proud of — a winning streak.

Billy Butler hit two of Kansas City’s four home runs to help the Royals snap a 12-game losing streak by beating the Cleveland Indians, 8-2, on Wednesday night.

“A big win, we all felt it and now we want to go run with it,” Butler said.

“There’s too much talent

on this team to be losing.”

Butler’s two-run blast off Ubaldo Jimenez (2-1) put the Royals ahead in the first inning. He added a solo shot in the ninth off reliever Jairo Asencio, following Alex Gordon’s three-run homer against the reliever.

Eric Hosmer’s two-run homer in the fifth made it 4-0 — the Royals’ largest lead since April 8, when they beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3.

“I’m just glad we did it,” manager Ned Yost said of ending the streak, which tied for the third-longest in team history, seven short of the Royals’ record worst in 2005.

“I didn’t care how we did it. It’s a big monkey off our back,” he said. “Now we can focus on day-today baseball.”

Before the game, Yost expressed confidence the Royals would start winning. He rattled off sev-

KU gets ‘crazy’ win

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Well, that was a first.

In more than 40 years of baseball, Kansas University coach Ritch Price had never seen a game like his team’s dramatic 8-7 victory against Kansas State (19-23) on Wednesday night at Hoglund Ballpark.

Sophomore outfielder Tucker Tharp (4-for-6) led off with a solo home run in the bottom of the first and senior third baseman Zac Elgie (2-for-4) ended it with a solo bomb on the first pitch of the bottom of the 11th.

Plenty happened in between, including the Jayhawks’ blowing leads of 6-1, 7-2 and, in the ninth, 7-4, but all anybody wanted to talk about after the 3 hour and 39 minute marathon ended was Elgie’s game-winner.

“It’s crazy,” said Elgie, who in the top of the 11th told shortstop Kevin Kuntz that if he saw a fastball on the first pitch during his upcoming atbat he was going to unleash a leg kick and try to end the game. “That’s what you want to do, hit walk-off home runs. And

His teammates agreed, and even though this one did not count in the Big 12 standings — the conference series will take place in May in Manhattan — the Jayhawks (17-25) sure celebrated like it did. As soon as Elgie made contact, his teammates in the dugout rushed home plate.

When the ball landed, 415 feet from where it was hit, Elgie was mobbed by his teammates as he scored the winning run. A few minutes later, a celebra-

tion ensued down in right field after a brief chat with Price. And, finally, when Elgie came out to talk to the media about his big blast, he did so with shaving cream covering his head.

“Any time you beat another Big 12 team, it’s a great feeling,” said junior Jake Marasco, who collected two hits. “The fact that it was K-State makes it even better.”

FREE STATE HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS LYNN ROBINSON, LEFT, and Cain Anderson look over the cake made for them and other track teammates who signed letters of intent at the school Wednesday. Robinson signed with KU and Anderson with Wichita State. and Lane, wearing matching T-shirts, signed with Baker University, while Wiebe signed with Johnson County Community College.

“It’s really cool to have five of us that have been working really, really hard for, like, four years,” he said. “We’ve all gotten to know each other. We’re all really good friends, and just to have so many of us signing here on the same day is a special thing.”

The athletes, Heffernan shared, went through some adversity to reach this point. Wiebe hadn’t experienced much success before taking off last spring, as a junior. Both Lane and Ber-

ndt have battled injuries in past seasons.

For Robinson, the struggle was giving up one dream to concentrate on another.

“Ever since elementary school, I thought I’d go to college and play basketball,” Robinson said.

Anderson battled increasingly greater expectations as his career progressed. Hard work carried him to a runnerup finish at the state cross country meet last fall.

“I did everything I could,” Anderson said after signing up with WSU track and cross country.

“This is my life, and I love every part of it.”

Lawrence Helmet Fair 2012

By Benton Smith

With five Free State High track athletes sharing a college signing ceremony Wednesday, Firebirds coach Steve Heffernan decided for a change of scenery.

Instead of experiencing the typical indoor gathering, seniors Kain Anderson, Lynn Robinson, Dayshawn Berndt, Khadijah Lane and Kamp Wiebe put their names on the dotted line outside in the sun, on Free State’s track — just yards away from where they and their teammates were about to practice.

“I kind of like the atmosphere down here on the track,” Anderson said after signing his national letter of intent with Wichita State University.

But there was one challenge that accompanied the scene. As Heffernan introduced the athletes and shared stories about each of them, rounds of applause followed from their nearby family, friends and teammates.

“I had to be careful when I clapped,” Robinson said after signing with Kansas University, “because my paper would blow away.”

The ceremony reminded Robinson of what a big deal it was to have five athletes moving on to the collegiate level — Berndt

way and got good pitching, too.

Luke Hochevar (2-1) allowed four hits and two runs over 61⁄3 innings, recovering from a horrendous home opener start April 13 when Cleveland battered him for seven runs in the first inning of an 8-3 loss.

The Royals went 0-10 on the homestand.

“A huge start by Hochevar, after they whacked him around pretty good last time,” Yost said.

mer KU players Marcus and Markieff Morris, will be handling Robinson’s NBA contract.

“Coach Self and the entire coaching staff along with Kansas University have done an excellent job in making Thomas the most NBA ready player in the draft

and we are excited to be a big part of this process,” said Jason Martin, Rival co-founder.

“He is a great talent and an even better person,” said Richard Gebbia, CEO of Rival Sports Group.

Robinson is expected to be a top-five pick in the June 28 draft.

Dear Annie: A year ago, I fell in love with “Bobby” over the Internet. Two months later, he said he loved me. I was stunned. But a little later, he told me he was in a relationship and the girl was suicidal. He was afraid that if he broke it off, she’d kill herself. I’ve had suicidal thoughts myself and understood.

Bobby sent me wonderful messages that made me feel terrific. I was happier than ever, even though he was terribly depressed about his situation. We made a promise that as long as we had each other, we wouldn’t kill ourselves.

After a while, I lost all desire to hurt myself. He gave me a reason to live.

But, Annie, sometimes Bobby acts like a player.

He flirts with other women. When I get upset, he always apologizes. I checked his online profile and saw messages to and from his current girl-

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

friend. In one, he told her he “wasn’t ready to let go of her and was sorry they broke up.” He never told me they weren’t together anymore.

I posted a message, too, giving him a piece of my mind. But since he’s been suicidal, I worry about him and frequently check to make sure he’s been online.

The truth is, I still love him, but I’m afraid to talk to him again. Do you think there’s any hope for the two of us, or is this just another book in my life that I have to

Lifetime’s direction desperate Lifetime has doubled down on cringe. Once known as “Television for Women,” famous for women-in-peril movies that may or may not have starred Valerie Bertinelli, Lifetime has decided to get a little more “daring.”

That’s TV-speak for “obvious.”

Two weeks back, they launched “The Client List,” starring Jennifer Love Hewitt as a suddenly single mother walking that fine line between masseuse and hooker — frequently in a skimpy nighty. It’s been called “camp,” but it’s not smart enough to earn that description.

Now comes “7 Days of Sex” (9 p.m.). This new reality show follows couples who have lost a certain spark. Maybe it’s work.

Perhaps it’s the demands of screaming kids. There’s the chance they weren’t terribly compatible in the first place. So to save their marriages and hit the reset button on intimacy, each couple agrees to have conjugal relations every day (or night) for a week. And talk about it on camera.

At first, the men think they’ve hit the jackpot with the mandatory sex arrangement. But they soon lose their ardor because, at the end of the day (or night), this agreement boils down to talking about their feelings.

Help yourself.

Immediately following “7 Days,” Lifetime will introduce “The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet” (10 p.m.), a new talk show hosted by the British television star and photographer.

Demi Moore serves as co-executive producer.

Can you picture yourself paying to join a “club” located in a nondescript warehouse, where you walk endless aisles unadorned with advertising or other gimmicky enticements? You’re not the only one. “The Costco Craze: Inside the Warehouse Giant” (8 p.m., CNBC) explores the retail phenomenon, which has more than 64 million card-carrying members who generally purchase way more than they intended to when they walked in the door, all while convincing themselves that they are saving money.

Tonight’s other highlights

The search for a science project saboteur on “Community” (7 p.m., NBC).

A singer goes home on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

Kenneth makes the case for live television on a live episode of “30 Rock” (7:30 p.m., NBC).

Andy doggedly pursues a fundraising goal on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC).

BIRTHDAYS

Actress-comedian Carol Burnett is 79. Rhythm-and-blues singer Maurice Williams is 74. Singer Bobby Rydell is 70. Rock musician Gary Wright is 69. Actor Giancarlo Esposito is 54. Rock musician Roger Taylor (Duran Duran) is 52.

Actress Joan Chen is 51. Actor-singer Michael Damian is 50. Actor Jet Li is 49. Rapper T-Boz (TLC) is 42.

Rock musician Jose Pasillas (Incubus) is 36. Actor Channing Tatum is 32. Actor Aaron Weeks is 26.

close? — Desperate for Answers In Michigan Dear Michigan: Close the book and throw it away. Bobby is not honest, and any relationship with him would eventually involve misery for you.

We think you know this.

We’re glad you no longer have suicidal thoughts, but if they should return, please get some counseling and talk to someone who can truly help you.

You should never rely on another person for your happiness.

Dear Annie: My two siblings and I are planning a family vacation that will include renting a house. They each have kids who still live at home and will be coming along. One sibling is spending a lot of money just to travel to us.

My husband absolutely refuses to pay for one-third the cost of the house, since we only require one bedroom and they require more. But

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, April 26: You might have difficulty being deeply emotional, as a practical approach seems to be your style.

This year you will be able to express yourself more easily. If you are single, you could meet someone in your daily life. If you are attached, the two of you become more closely connected as you plan a long-desired trip.

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) Sometimes you allow your imagination to take the lead. You might choose to take a different path to achieve one of your desires.

Tonight: Keep the peace, for your sake.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Keep communication flowing. Even if you have to leave or hang up, let the other person know you are there if he or she has more to share. Tonight: With favorite people at favorite places.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Be aware of a need to clear up a problem. You could be overwhelmed by the present state of affairs. Tonight: Your treat.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Visualize more of what you want. Create a logical plan and go after your desires. Tonight: Do what you want.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) It might be difficult to keep exciting news to yourself, but you’ll do it. Do not pressure yourself as much to deal with a problematic situation. Let it go. Tonight: You need some extra Z’s.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on what you

jacquelinebigar.com

want. Realize where you are going with a project. Tonight: Only where the people are.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could end up with a lot to do, which you had not anticipated. Do not feel too intimidated to say “no more,” or you could decide to delegate. Tonight: Don’t let it get too late.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use your imagination to clear up a problem. What you are hearing as solutions in your mind will not work. Tonight: Choose a stress buster.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A partner could rain on your parade. Do you really want to feel like you do? Be more creative and less receptive to others’ comments. Tonight: Visit with a friend or loved one over dinner.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others might find you to be controlling at times. Lose the image when you say “yes” to an offer to pitch in. Tonight: You do not have to accept an invitation. Do your thing.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can only be distracted for so long. Suddenly you recognize just how much is on your plate.

Tonight: Get some R and R. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Taking a risk financially could cause a problem. On the other hand, an emotional risk easily might land you exactly where you want to be. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

if we divide it by the number of bedrooms, one family will end up paying almost half of the cost of the entire place.

And if we divide it by the number of people, the family already paying the most to travel here will be paying the most for the house, as well. And that sibling has always been very generous with me.

I am upset with my husband, and now my siblings are upset with me. What is fair? — No Good Solution for this Arithmetic Problem Dear Solution: Your husband’s position is not unreasonable.

Unless those who spend less money to get there want to subsidize the others, it would be fair to discuss this with everyone and work out a ACROSS solution together.
