Legislative negotiators agree on tax cuts

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas would cut its sales, business and individual income taxes — eventually by at least $500 million a year — under a new plan designed to stimu-

late the state’s economy, but critics worry it would create budget problems.

Negotiators for the Kansas House and Senate agreed on the plan Thursday. The compromise legislation reconciles numerous differences between

the two chambers over tax policy.

The plan, drafted by three senators and three House members, would cut individual income tax rates and phase out income taxes over five years for 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietor-

ships and other businesses — ideas pushed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

The compromise legislation also would reduce the state’s sales tax to 5.7 percent in July 2013 from 6.3 percent and provide additional state aid to cities and counties to

keep their property taxes in check.

The negotiators don’t plan to present their proposal to either chamber until they’ve reviewed numbers on how it might affect the state budget. Democrats involved in Please see TAX, page 2A Brownback

Protesters rally against religious beliefs bill, contending it will allow discrimination

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — About 70 people on Thursday protested legislation that they said would allow people to cite religious beliefs to discriminate against gays and lesbians.

“It’s legislative abuse, it’s legislative bullying, it’s legislative dictatorship and it should not be permitted,” said Topeka civil rights attorney Pedro Irigonegaray.

Senate Bill 142 is called the Kansas Preservation of Religious Freedom Act. Supporters say it is needed to prevent government from forcing a person to violate their religious beliefs. It was approved last month by the House on a 91-33 vote and is pending before the Senate.

Opponents of the bill say it will invite discrimination and invalidate a Lawrence anti-discrimination

said, “They’re trying to make it legal to discriminate.”

Holly Weatherford, with the ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri, said, “We cannot allow the use of religion to discriminate and call it religious freedom. We must push back.”

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

The measure is supported by Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration, the Kansas Catholic Conference and Concerned Women for America of Kansas. It was opposed by Lawrence officials, the Kansas Equality Coalition and the state chapter of the National Organization for Women.

Enrollment increase, money management have enabled budget reversal

ordinance that includes sexual orientation.

Irigonegaray said the Lawrence ordinance should be protected.

“The city of Lawrence stands as a shining exam- Irigonegaray ple that we can do better,” he said.

The rally was put together by the Kansas Equality Coalition.

Thomas Witt, executive director of the coalition, urged those at the rally to get involved in the August primaries to help candidates who oppose such proposals.

Lawrence resident C.J. Brune attended the rally, and said, “I can’t imagine living in a worse world where someone’s religion would impact my rights.”

A proposal to require Lawrence households to start using city-owned trash carts instead of standard bags or cans is rolling ever closer to a debate at Lawrence City Hall.

City staff members have created a set of recommendations for the city to purchase 23,000 trash carts — at a price tag of about $1.13 million — that could allow the carts to start showing up on curbs by late September.

“When I talk to sanitation loaders about what can make their jobs safer and quicker, they are all over the idea of everybody having carts,” Corliss said City Manager David Corliss. “I want to try to do something the entire industry is moving towards.”

The idea of requiring Lawrence residents to replace their cans or bags with a cityissued cart isn’t new. It was the top recommendation of the city’s Solid Waste Task Force earlier this year.

But the new report out of City Hall gives the most details yet about the structure and expense of the program.

City staff members are projecting the cart program won’t require an increase in monthly bills for any residents, and may decrease the bills of the about 7,000 households that currently rent a cart from the city.

City commissioners haven’t yet set a date to de-

Earlier this week, the Lawrence school board reversed years of budget cutting and approved nearly $2 million worth of new programs.

The board expanded the district’s full-day kindergarten to four more schools, added 21 new teachers to the district

and agreed to fund a program geared toward getting more middle-of-the road students and first-genSCHOOLS eration college students into universities.

It was a move that left some people scratching their heads

wondering where the money came from. The short answer is that the district has seen an increase in enrollment, which means a significant boost in funding. And, during the past couple of years, the district has built up a cash reserve from state dollars that is targeted for at-risk programs.

On top of that, the district’s chief operations officer, Kyle

Trash

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

to place bags of trash at the curb if its cart is full.

There would be no extra charge for picking up a bag or two, but the city has indicated it wants such activity to be the exception, not the rule. The memo proposes that route drivers and solid waste supervisors keep a log of households that regularly are setting out bags of trash.

A 35-gallon cart will be offered to households that believe a 65-gallon cart is simply too large.

The 35-gallon cart isn’t much larger than a standard trash can, which city officials hope will blunt some concerns that people don’t have room to store these carts.

Staff members, however, aren’t recommending that households receive a price break for taking the 35-gallon cart instead of the 65-gallon version.

Staff members are estimating the 7,000 households that currently rent a cart from the city will see their trash bills decline under the cart program. The city currently charges $1.50 per month to rent a 65-gallon cart.

Under the proposed program that monthly fee would be eliminated. The city currently charges $2 per month to rent a

90-gallon cart. Under the proposed program, that fee would drop to $1 per month.

The memo recommends the city use $1.12 million from the equipment reserve fund in the city’s solid waste division to cover the bulk of the trash cart purchases.

“We have held back on a number of expenditures in that department, and in some cases staffing, in recognition that this really needs to happen,” Corliss said.

The memo projects the city’s 2013 budget for the solid waste division will allow residential trash rates to remain unchanged from their current levels of $14.94 per month. The budget, however, does call for the elimination of one position in the department.

That position currently is vacant.

City leaders previously have said they expect the cart system to pay for itself through lower workers compensation claims and reductions in staff as the carts allow for more automated trucks in the future.

woman Sherriene JonesSontag endorsed the negotiators’ plan.

“It gets the individual income tax rates down for all Kansans. It lessens the tax burden on small businesses,” Jones-Sontag said. “He hopes the Legislature will pass the bill quickly and get it to his desk for a big signing ceremony.”

The push by Brownback and many GOP legislators to cut income taxes has drawn bipartisan criticism. More than 40 former Republican legislators had a news conference Wednesday to argue that the tax burden will shift from the wealthy to the poor and public schools will be left with inadequate funding.

“We have lots of other needs,” said Sen. Tom Holland, a Baldwin City Democrat, one of the negotiators. “We’re going to basically mortgage our futures on cutting income taxes for no material growth that’s going to be recognized. I think it’s a foolhardy exercise.”

bate the issue, but Corliss said he expects the subject to be on a commission agenda within the next month. Corliss said that if commissioners make a decision early this summer to move forward with the program, the carts could start arriving in Lawrence in the fall.

Here’s a look at several details of the proposal that will be presented to city commissioners:

A 65-gallon cart would be the standard size issued to households.

City staff members are estimating the 65-gallon cart will meet the trash needs of a typical four-person household, especially if the household recycles some of its trash. Households would be provided the city-owned cart for no additional charge per month.

A 90-gallon cart would be issued to households that have a difficult time fitting all their trash into the 65-gallon cart.

Households that choose to have the 90-gallon cart would pay a $1-per-month fee.

The new trash system would allow a household

the negotiations don’t like the compromise plan, and even some Republicans in the GOP-controlled Legislature are likely to be wary, particularly in the Senate.

But the lead negotiators, Sen. Les Donovan, a Wichita Republican, and Rep. Richard Carlson, a St. Marys Republican, were optimistic they could sell the plan to most of their colleagues. They’re hoping for votes in each chamber next week.

“If we didn’t think this was going to be a positive for the state and for more people to move here, more companies to come here and more jobs and more payroll, why would we do it?” Donovan said.

“That’s exactly why we’re doing it.”

The plan is expected to provide at least $119 million in tax relief for the fiscal year beginning July 1 and $500 million worth

during the following fiscal year. But state researchers haven’t finished their calculations, and those figures could be significantly higher.

Brownback, who made cutting income taxes his signature issue this year, said before negotiators met Thursday that he liked the direction of their talks. He described the business tax break and the lower income tax rates as core parts of the tax plan he outlined in January.

Under legislative negotiators’ plan, the state’s top individual income tax rate would drop to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent, as Brownback proposed.

The negotiators — like both chambers — jettisoned Brownback’s proposals to eliminate a tax credit for poor workers and popular income tax deductions for charitable contributions and interest paid on home mortgages.

And the governor didn’t seek to cut the sales tax or rein in local property taxes.

Still, Brownback spokes-

$4.8 million The amount of money the district spent in atrisk dollars, leaving about $700,000 unused. Of that amount, about $500,000 will go toward covering full-day kindergarten.

The district anticipates receiving and spending similar amounts of at-risk dollars in future years, which would make the kindergarten program sustainable. $3.8 million How much money that’s expected to remain in the district’s contingency reserve, which is around 6 percent of the district’s entire general fund budget, at the end of the school year.

Four college-age children of the inaugural class of honorees have been awarded scholarships.

The 2012 awards ceremony will be awarded in the fall.

“The Valor Awards is a great opportunity for the community to say ‘thank you’ to local first responders,” said Lawrence resident Harry Herington, CEO of NIC Inc. and a co-founder of awards program. “I look forward to building upon the outpouring of community support in 2011 and generating even greater participation of Douglas County resi-

dents this year.”

Registration for the golf tournament, presented

by Crown Automotive of Lawrence, ends May 4.

The registration fee is $100 per person, and public safety personnel will receive a discounted rate of $75 per person.

Student teachers liven up lessons with song and dance

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

With a guitar in hand and wearing cowboy boots, Kansas University student Mallory Bayles leads Quail Run fourthgraders in a rendition of “Home on the Range.”

Then classmate Katie Stearns, who was also in cowboy boots, walked the students through the kicks and the steps that made up the line dance of “Cotton Eyed Joe.” Singing and dancing was just one of the many ways the fourth-graders and KU student teachers have learned from one another this semester as they studied the southwest and Midwest regions of the country.

Since February, 25 KU elementary education majors have visited Quail Run’s fourth-grade class as part of their intermediate literacy class. The college course, which is taught by Lynn Segebrecht, requires college students to pull together material and activities for small-group lessons and create detailed teaching plans.

One goal of the practicum experience, which was aided by a grant for literacy education through U.S. Bank, was to show student teachers how to interweave such subjects as social studies into lessons that make students better readers and writers.

“We’ve taught this way for a long time,” said Quail Run teacher Alea Lafond.

“(Segebrecht) really wanted to show her students how to work with reading by using social studies as a base. And her students have taken it and run with it.”

The KU student teachers had the fourth-graders keep imaginary diaries about being a cowboy or living through the Dust Bowl. They wrote Native American trickster tales and Cinquain poems.

“This was by far the most I’ve ever worked with kids in a college course,” said KU junior Eliot Holmes.

And Holmes and his student teaching partner, Tiffany Chappell, were learning just as much as the students.

“You make lesson plans

that would last 40 minutes and (the students) would blaze through them in 20,” Holmes said. “It is good to be over-prepared.”

Segebrecht picked Quail Run for the practicum because her sons had been taught by Lafond and she knew the team of teachers, which includes Terri Durgan and Caitlin Feighny, were already teaching literacy and social studies together.

“It’s been a pretty remarkable experience,” Segebrecht said.

Stop freaking out: World won’t end in 2012, expert says

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Will the world end in December 2012? Don’t bet on it, experts say. Or at least, if it does, don’t blame the Maya.

Quetzil E. Castañeda, an expert on Maya people and an ethnologist at the University of Indiana at Bloomington, attempted to quell fears surrounding the “Mayan phenomenon,” which has many people saying the ancient civilization predicted end days with its calendar that supposedly stops on Dec. 21 or Dec. 23 (even that’s in dispute, he said) of this year.

Castañeda spoke Thursday evening at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt., to a crowd of about 50 with interests ranging from Latin American history to New Age spirituality.

Dispelling the misinformation began with an explanation that “anyone who says they know something about the Mayan prophecies is wrong,” Castañeda said. “For one thing, ‘Mayan’ isn’t a word.”

The correct adjective and noun is ‘Maya’ and that refers to an ethnically and geographically diverse group of indigenous peoples in the Yucatán Peninsula and elsewhere in Mexico. And yes, their descendents still live there. And no, they’re not Aztecs, though many popular culture references relating to the “Maya 2012 gurus,” as Castañeda called those drumming up end-of-the-world concern, confuse elements of Maya and Aztec culture and symbolism — and even the all-important doomsday calendar.

About that calendar.

Castañeda said reading into its end in 2012 is paramount to “freaking out” at seeing the end of a yardstick.

Space doesn’t end just because its measuring tool does; instead, to measure

something bigger than a yard, we just move the stick farther along. So while the ancient Castañeda Maya calendar does have 520-year cycles, there’s no evidence even they thought this “end” was anything parallel to the Judeo-Christian notion of apocalypse. But still, spiritualists pander to tourists in the area, touting crystals and teaching that dates of equinox have significance, though few local Maya put any faith into the ideas (most are Catholic), Castañeda showed in a film he made at the ancient Maya ruins of Chichen Itza.

John Hoopes, an associate professor in Kansas University’s anthropology department, introduced Castañeda with the idea that the 2012 pop-culture phenomenon at least provided the opportunity for a “yearlong teaching moment” for people to learn more about Mesoamerican history and culture, including the complexities of how the “gurus” affect the real, everyday lives of the Maya people.

“Westerners have created the construct of the mystery of the Maya,” Castañeda said, because it’s surprising to the European-derived ways of thinking that the Maya would create a civilization in the jungle, “where civilization shouldn’t be,” and then “abandon” it.

But the abandonment, he said, is also a myth; the Maya peoples still exist.

They were just colonized by the Spanish.

In the discussion, Hoopes brought up the point that Mexico is said to be expecting some 50 million tourists to the Yucatán this year, with all the Maya 2012 hype.

Parade of Homes set for next 2 weekends

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Maybe you’re not going to buy a $500,000 home during this economy, but it might still be fun to look at one.

And that would be just fine with members of the Lawrence Home Builders Association, who are set to host their annual Spring Parade of Homes for both buyers and browsers alike.

“We just want people to come out,” said Bobbie Flory, executive director of the home builders association. “It won’t be a typical sales event. It is just a good opportunity for people to find out what they like and don’t like.”

The parade will run from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and also May 5 and 6.

The parade will feature 17 homes, ranging in price from $164,900 to $509,000.

The half-million-dollar home — at 102 Earhart Circle — isn’t even for sale. It was a custom home built by Lawrence-based Apple Tree Homes, and the owners are allowing it to be on the tour before they move in.

“It will be exciting to look at,” Flory said.

The home features 3,500 square feet of space, five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, lots

of exposed wood beams and a mosaic tile Jayhawk in a special basement bar area.

Ten builders are participating in this years tour, fewer than in many years, but Flory said some builders pulled homes from the tour because they had sold recently.

“Several builders feel like there is more activity in the market,” Flory said.

“Optimism is up.”

Recently released numbers indicated a mixed bag for the local housing and real estate activity.

Building permits for new single-family and duplex homes in Lawrence are up about 35 percent for the first quarter compared with the same period a year ago. Builders have received permits for 31 projects, up from 23 during the first quarter of 2011.

But a new report from the Lawrence Board of Realtors found home sales during the first quarter were down 7.6 for the period, with 183 sales in the first quarter of 2012 compared with 198 in the first quarter of 2011.

A full list of homes on the parade can be found at lawrenceparade.com.

Senate panel works on disaster funding

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas legislators began work on a bill Thursday that would create a special fund to cover the state’s share of disaster assistance.

Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, the Kansas adjutant general, testified before the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee about legislation that would move $12 million a year into the fund, which would be capped at $40 million.

The state coordinates disaster response and recovery with local and federal agencies. Federal funds reimburse 75 percent of the cost of disasters, local governments pay 15 percent, and the state provides 10 percent.

Typically, that costs Kansas about $22 million per year, said Tafanelli, a former legislator. But in Sedgwick County alone, of-

ficials have estimated the damage from the April 14 storms that produced nearly 100 tornadoes across Kansas at $146.3 million.

Assessment crews will be inspecting damage across 14 affected counties in the coming weeks.

It remains unclear how much of that damage is uninsured and would qualify for federal and state assistance.

Tafanelli suggested the Legislature transfer $22 million annually, instead of the $12 million in the bill, into the special fund each year to build it up more quickly.

“It would allow the state to have a stable funding source,” he said. “It would give us a reasonable amount of money in the bank.”

The committee is expected to reconvene briefly today to add $10 million more to the fund, for a total of $22 million, all coming from the state general fund.

Officers identify injured driver as Free State junior

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Douglas County Sheriff’s officers identified 17-year-old Spencer Wilson, of Lawrence, as the driver injured in a crash Wednesday afternoon just northwest of Lawrence.

Sgt. Steve Lewis, a sheriff’s spokesman, said Wilson was driving a 1999 Mazda 323 west on North 1700 Road, which is an extension of Peterson Road. About 1:20 p.m., the vehicle left the road and struck a culvert and some trees.

Wilson was flown by a LifeStar helicopter ambulance to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., but hospital officials said Thursday information about his condition was unavailable. Lewis said driver inattention was listed as a contributing factor to the crash, but because of the severity of Wilson’s injuries, officers have delayed further investigation for now.

Julie Boyle, a Lawrence school district spokeswoman, said Wilson is a Free State High School junior.

It was one of several injury accidents Wednesday that kept emergency responders busy in Lawrence and Douglas County. Kansas Highway Patrol troopers are investigating a crash on U.S. Highway 40 west of Lawrence that happened early Wednesday that killed Patrick D. Henderson, 34, of Perry, after his 1992 GMC pickup truck went off the road.

Officers were called about 8:20 a.m., but troopers were trying to determine when it occurred.

Wednesday afternoon and evening, police responded to two injury accidents and seven noninjury accidents, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman.

In one accident, Ashley Marie Heller, 23, Lawrence, failed to stop at a flashing red light at 3:05 p.m. at the intersection of North Third Street and the Kansas Turnpike entrance in North Lawrence.

She crashed her northbound 2007 Dodge Charger into a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, driven by Socorro Salais III, 27, Kansas City, Mo., as he was turning left onto North Third Street. Heller suffered a compound fracture to her arm and was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, McKinley said. Salais was injured

but refused transport to the hospital.

Heller was cited for violating a flashing red traffic signal, driving while suspended and having no insurance. Salais, although officers determined he was not at fault for the crash, was also cited for not having insurance, McKinley said.

Gov. seeks nearly $2M for Larned hospital

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Thursday asked the Legislature for about $2 million to increase staff at Larned State Hospital, which is in danger of losing its federal certification and $14.5 million per year.

Kansas Department on Aging Secretary Shawn Sullivan said $993,000 is needed to hire 23 direct care staff at the hospital for the mentally ill. Another $940,000 is needed to increase pay for nurses.

Recently, the hospital was cited by the Joint Commission, a national organization that accredits hospitals, for a number of deficiencies related to inadequate staffing. Failure to address the understaffing would trigger a possible loss of federal funding for the hospital, which includes the state’s

sexual predator treatment program.

State officials said the inability to fill vacancies was caused by low pay compared with the market rate for the same jobs elsewhere.

Many employees at Larned were being forced to work an extra 12 LEGISLATURE hours to 24 hours per week because of the lack of staff. Overtime wages had increased a whopping 723 percent over the past year.

Larned had a 45.8 percent vacancy rate for physicians and psychiatrists; 44 percent for licensed practical nurses; and 27 percent for registered nurses.

Under the proposal, the current pay range for a senior registered nurse would increase from

$23.31 to $31.22 per hour to $25.68 to $34.42 per hour.

The pay range for a senior licensed practical nurse would increase from $14.30 to $19.16 per hour to $15.03 to $20.13 per hour.

Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee said staffing problems at all the state’s mental health hospitals should be addressed, including vacancies that have been left unfilled because of Brownback’s voluntary retirement program.

State hospitals in Parsons, Osawatomie and Kansas City, Kan., also have reported being understaffed and having ballooning overtime costs.

“We need to look at this voluntary retirement issue,” said Rep. Jerry Henry, D-Cummings. He said some agencies have been able to keep those positions vacant, but in the health care area that produces more problems.

“When you deal with personal and human issues, you can’t just turn off the lights and walk away and say we’ll get to this in the morning,” he said.

But Sullivan said the administration wanted to take a more comprehensive look at staffing needs at the other state hospitals, while addressing the immediate certification concern at Larned.

Last year, the Brownback administration launched an early retirement program, offering health insurance benefits and one-time payment incentives to reduce the state’s workforce. The administration said more than 1,000 employees took advantage of the program and that it would save $34.5 million over two years.

Brownback critical of probe into waiting list Governor says issue started under Sebelius

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback said the state is in “full compliance” with providing services to people with disabilities, and criticized a federal investigation into the issue.

Brownback, a Republican, said the dispute arises out of a waiting list for services that started under former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, who is the current secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which forwarded the waiting list complaints to the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Effectively, Secretary Sebelius decided upon joining the Obama Administration that Governor Sebelius and her policies were in violation of federal law,” Brownback said in a statement.

Federal officials have had a different take on the issue.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Kansas Barry Grissom said HHS tried to negotiate an arrangement with Brownback to avoid litigation.

“Unfortunately those negotiations were not successful,” Grissom said.

The dispute is about a growing waiting list for home- and communitybased services for people with physical disabilities.

The waiting list now has about 3,500 Kansans, and it takes upward of three years for anyone on

Brownback

Sebelius

the list to receive services.

Advocates for those with physical disabilities have been filing Olmstead complaints, which was a U.S. Supreme Court decision that says states must provide services to people with disabilities to enable them to be more integrated in the community.

Brownback, who took office as governor in January 2011, said much of the waiting list problem started in late 2008 when Sebelius was governor and continued when she went to HHS and Mark Parkin-

son became governor.

Democratic legislators have noted that the waiting lists grew as state revenues took a historic nosedive from 2008 to 2010. But now that the state has a projected surplus of more than $600 million, an increase in funding for the programs could reduce or eliminate the waiting lists, they say.

But Brownback said his administration has taken steps to address the waiting lists, including privatization of the Medicaid program.

In a letter he wrote to Leon Rodriguez, director of the Office of Civil Rights in HHS, Brownback said the federal government was trying to force Kansas “to spend money it does not have.”

Parole request denied ON THE STREET for 1981 Lawrence rapist

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

The Kansas Prison Review Board has denied parole for Sherman L. Galloway, who was convicted in two 1981 Lawrence rapes, according to Department of Corrections spokesman Jeremy Barclay.

In 1984, Galloway was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison. But because of sentencing laws, he became eligible for a parole hearing in 1996 and has been eligible several times since.

The board passed Galloway for seven years, meaning he won’t be eligible for parole again until 2019.

Police-chase suspect a no-show in court A 35-year-old Lawrence man accused of leading police on a vehicle chase in March did not show up for his court hearing Thursday.

According to court records, District Judge Paula Martin issued a $2,500 bench warrant for Billy Joe Johnson’s arrest.

Johnson was charged in March with fleeing or attempting to elude police, driving on a suspended license, two counts of theft, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, failing to report an accident and several traffic infractions.

Johnson, who was out of jail on bond, also faces a separate burglary case.

Lawrence police said they briefly chased a stolen vehicle just after 5 p.m. March 1 after a bank

employee in the 900 block of Iowa reported suspicious activity.

The chase went through a nearby residential area between Ninth and 15th streets before police called it off because of rush-hour traffic in the area. Minutes later the car, allegedly stolen from Jefferson County, struck a tree in the 1200 block of Iowa Street. Police later arrested Johnson at a home in the 2500 block of Oxford Road.

Ex-Liberian Analysts say North Korea’s president new missiles are fakes convicted of war crimes

By Mike Corder Associated Press

LEIDSCHENDAM, LANDS — Former

NETHERLiberian President Charles Taylor became the first head of state since World War II to be convicted by an international war crimes court, a historic verdict that sends a message that tyrants worldwide will be tracked down and brought to justice.

The warlord-turnedpresident was found guilty on T h u r s day of 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity Taylor for arming Sierra Leone rebels in exchange for “blood diamonds” mined by slave laborers and smuggled across the border.

Judges at the Special Court for Sierra Leone said Taylor played a crucial role in allowing the rebels to continue a bloody rampage during that West African nation’s 11-year civil war, which ended in 2002 with more than 50,000 dead. Ten years after the war ended, Sierra Leone is still struggling to rebuild.

The rebels gained international notoriety for hacking off the limbs of their victims and carving their groups’ initials into opponents and even children they kidnapped, drugged and turned into killers. The rebels developed gruesome terms for the mutilations that became their chilling trademark: They would offer their victims the choice of “long sleeves” or “short sleeves” — having their hands hacked off or their arms sliced off above the elbow.

The 64-year-old Taylor will be sentenced next month after a separate hearing.

The court has no death penalty and no life sentence. Judges have given eight other rebels as much as 52 years in prison.

TOKYO — Analysts who have studied photos of a half-dozen ominous new North Korean missiles showcased recently at a lavish military parade say they were fakes, and not very convincing ones, casting further doubt on the country’s claims of military prowess.

Since its recent rocket launch failure, Pyongyang’s top military leaders have made several boastful statements about its weapons capabilities. On Wednesday, Vice Marshal Ri Yong Ho claimed his country is capable of defeating the United States “at a single blow.” And on Monday, North Korea promised “special actions” that would reduce Seoul’s government to ashes within minutes.

But the weapons displayed April 15 appear to be a mishmash of liquidfuel and solid-fuel components that could never fly together. Undulating casings on the missiles suggest the metal is too thin to withstand flight. Each missile was slightly differ-

Report: Rebates from health care reform law will top $1B

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

WASHINGTON — More than 3 million health insurance policyholders and thousands of employers will share $1.3 billion in rebates this year, thanks to President Barack Obama’s health care law, a nonpartisan research group said Thursday.

The rebates should average $127 for the people who get them, and Democrats are hoping they’ll send an election-year message that Obama’s much-criticized health care overhaul is starting to pay dividends for consumers. Critics of the law call that wishful thinking.

The law requires insurance companies to spend at least 80 percent of the premiums they collect on medical care and quality improvement or return the difference to consumers and employers. Although many large employer plans already meet that standard, it’s the first time the government has imposed such a requirement on the entire health insurance industry.

“This is one of the most tangible benefits of the health reform law that consumers will have seen to date,” said Larry Levitt, an expert on private insurance with the Kaiser Family Foundation, which analyzed industry filings with state health insurance commissioners to produce its report. Kaiser is a nonpartisan information clearinghouse on the nation’s health care system.

Still, health insurance is expensive, and $127 may not even pay a month’s worth of premiums for single coverage.

And the insurance industry says consumers should take little comfort from the rebates because premiums are likely to go up overall as a result of new benefits and other requirements of the law.

“The net of all the requirements will be an increase in costs for consumers,” said Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, the main industry trade group.

“Given that health care

Govt backs off limits on child labor on farms WASHINGTON — Under heavy pressure from farm groups, the Obama administration said Thursday it would drop an unpopular plan to prevent children from doing hazardous work on farms owned by anyone other than their parents.

The Labor Department said it is withdrawing proposed rules that would ban children younger than 16 from using most powerdriven farm equipment, including tractors. The rules also would prevent those younger than 18 from working in feed lots, grain bins and stockyards.

While labor officials said their goal was to reduce the fatality rate for child farm workers, the proposal had become a popular political target for Republicans who called it an impractical, heavy-handed regulation that ignored the reality of small farms.

costs are inherently unpredictable, it’s not surprising that some plans will be paying rebates to policyholders in certain markets,” Zirkelbach added.

But the Kaiser report said the rebate requirement may be acting as a brake on the industry, discouraging insurers from seeking big premium increases to avoid having to issue refunds later and face possible criticism.

BRIEFLY Secret Service looks New guidelines issued Thursday by the American into another trip Cancer Society urge doc-

WASHINGTON — Expanding the prostitution investigation, the Secret Service acknowledged Thursday it is checking whether its employees hired strippers and prostitutes in advance of President Barack Obama’s visit last year to El Salvador.

The disclosure came not long after the Homeland Security secretary assured skeptical senators that the recent prostitution scandal in Colombia appeared to be an isolated incident.

A spokesman for the Secret Service, Edwin Donovan, said the agency was investigating allegations raised in news reports about unprofessional behavior that have emerged in the aftermath of the Colombia incident. The latest,

by Seattle television station KIRO-TV, quoted anonymous sources as saying that Secret Service employees received sexual favors from strippers at a club in San Salvador and took prostitutes to their hotel rooms ahead of Obama’s visit to the city in March 2011.

Prostitution is legal in both Colombia and El Salvador.

That’s not something most doctors do, said Dr. Omer Kucuk, an Emory University oncologist who has researched the effect of nutrition on prostate cancer. They’re focused on surgery, chemotherapy or other treatments for their patients, he added.

“Usually the last thing on their mind is to talk about diet and exercise,” Kucuk said.

Man, bullet in head for 94 years, dies TURLOCK, CALIF. — The man who holds the Guinness World Record for living the longest with a bullet in his head has died in Central California at age 103.

The Modesto Bee reports that William Lawlis Pace died in his sleep at a Turlock nursing home Monday — 94 years and six months after his older brother accidentally shot him with their father’s .22-caliber rifle in 1917.

Pace learned in 2006 that he had been crowned the world record-holder in the category of unwanted cranial ammunition acquisition.

His son told a newspaper during a birthday party for his father last year that doctors in Pace’s native Texas left the bullet in place because they worried that surgery might cause brain damage.

“It’s good the Labor Department rethought the ridiculous regulations it was going to stick on farmers and their families,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. “To even propose such regulations defies common sense, and shows a real lack of understanding as to how the family farm works.”

The surprise move comes just two months after the Labor Department modified the rule in a bid to satisfy opponents. The agency made it clear it would exempt children who worked on farms owned or operated by their parents, even if the ownership was part of a complex partnership or corporate agreement.

That didn’t appease farm groups that complained it would upset traditions in which many children work on farms owned by uncles, grandparents and other relatives.

Chamber hire The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce’s new CEO offers some strong economic development credentials, which we hope will pay off for Lawrence.

A

former colleague at the Springfield (Mo.) Area Chamber of Commerce described Greg Williams as someone who “knows how to make things happen. He knows how to put deals together.”

That’s not a bad recommendation for the person who soon will take the reins of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

Local chamber officials announced Wednesday that Williams had been hired as the group’s new president and CEO. His résumé reflects talents and experience in an area the Lawrence chamber has said it wants to emphasize: economic development.

Williams hasn’t been a chamber CEO, but he worked at the Springfield chamber for 15 years, including seven years as the No. 2 executive. During that time, according to his résumé, he helped raise more than $4.5 million in a five-year period to fund economic development efforts and helped make deals that resulted in $350 million in new investments in the Springfield area.

In the last two years, he has added to his economic development experience by serving as director of research parks for the University of Missouri system.

That seems like a key plus for Lawrence and Douglas County, which are ramping up their efforts to work with and capitalize on research efforts at Kansas University.

Members of the chamber search committee said early on that they would give special consideration to local CEO candidates who already have an understanding of Lawrence and the various entities and challenges involved in the local economic development process.

Some chamber executives have found the community’s debates about economic development projects frustrating, but Cindy Yulich, who chaired the search committee, said Williams was aware of those challenges and “is up for that.” We hope so, because his ability to handle the politics of economic development in Lawrence will be key to his success.

It’s no secret that the Lawrence chamber is hoping to put more emphasis on its economic development efforts. Now that the group has hired an economic development specialist as its chief executive, it may need to reconsider how to fill the current vacancy of vice president for economic development. The focus of that job may change if the new CEO chooses to be the point person for efforts to bring new jobs and business to the community.

Williams obviously is an unknown quantity to Lawrence right now, but he comes with some impressive qualifications that seem to fit what the community needs. We welcome him to Lawrence and wish him well.

War on terror is far from over “The war on terror is over,” or so claims an unnamed senior State Department official, as reported by National Journal’s Michael Hirsh in his recent article “The Post al-Qaida Era.” Really? Well, if the war is over, I must have missed the peace treaty signing ceremony. I also haven’t noticed a decline in incendiary rhetoric, or the disarmament — or at least laying down of arms — that usually accompanies the end of war. Does this mean we can do away with full-body scanners and TSA pat-downs?

Those who believe the war against radical Islamists is over never really believed we were fighting one. They have been in denial from the start. Each time they have been proven wrong — the land for peace formula between Israel and her enemies is just one example among many — they have simply moved on to the next level of denial. Now they have reached rock bottom with nowhere else to go and are telling us we can live with Islamism.

Hirsh references Reuel Marc Gerecht, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a nonpartisan institution focusing on national security and foreign policy, whom he calls one of the “smarter hardliners on the Right.” Hirsh says

Those who believe the war against radical Islamists is over never really believed we were fighting one.”

Gerecht is among an emerging group of policymakers and analysts coming to realize that “the Arab world may find another route to democracy — through Islamism.”

This is preposterous. It is like saying the route to women’s rights is through patriarchy. War is peace. George Orwell lives! Radical Islamists have made it perfectly clear they have no interest in joining the democratic process.

They are at war. They are at war with the West.

Gerecht’s kind of thinking is beyond self-delusional. It is suicidal. Any hope that the Arab Spring and the Middle East elections that result will make any difference in the way radical Islamists deal with or per-

ceive the West is misplaced.

Elections are meaningless without a framework guaranteeing individual rights. History is full of examples where elections brought to power dictators who then either gamed the system so their re-election was guaranteed or made sure there were no more elections.

Closer to reality is a report in the April 15 London Sunday Times. Reporter Hala Jaber writes from Cairo about the forthcoming Egyptian elections: “Voters fear the imposition of the veil and a harsh penal code if radicals win the election.”

Ask the radical Islamic cleric Abu Qatada if he thinks the war against the West, which is the proper way of framing this conflict, is over.

British Home Secretary Theresa May has possibly blown an opportunity to deport Qatada because of a bureaucratic snafu over a deadline for his appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. Now there is a good chance that Qataba, described by a judge in Spain as Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe, could be released from prison instead of being deported to Jordan as planned.

Just because the leadership of al-Qaida has been killed, imprisoned or forced to run, does not mean that the fight-

ing stops. In fact, though the “war on terror” may be over as a concept, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor assured Michael Hirsh, the war against al-Qaida rages on. But the war is much broader than al-Qaida. Terrorism flows from a belief system and worldview that will not be crushed because a few al-Qaida leaders are gone.

The secular left refuses to understand this. Terrorism is not the only tool in the arsenal of radical Islamists. Infiltration, Islamic schools, the building of mosques in the midst of the “Great Satan,” the running of Muslim candidates for public office, the demands for more “rights” and civil liberties, while Islamists deny such things to the nations they dominate — all of this and more proves the war by whatever name one wishes to call it is not over. In fact, it is just beginning.

Radical Islamists are attempting to unify the Muslim world under Sharia law and other dictates of the extremist wing of the religion. If they succeed, they will most assuredly redouble their efforts to eliminate Israel and come after America.

The war on terror continues.

We need to fight it to win it.

Gasoline prices are a mystery

By Bob Ray Sanders McClatchy Newspapers

Last week I paid 10-centsa-gallon less for gasoline than I did the week before, at the same service station. While $3.79 seemed a bargain, it did cause me to wonder.

Last weekend, I noticed the price sign at the station showed regular gasoline dropped an additional 5 cents to $3.74 a gallon.

“What’s going on?” I thought, as I recalled how one of my friends and former colleagues used to argue with me routinely about the true causes of the rise and fall of gas prices in this country.

Then Monday evening I pulled up to the pump at this national oil company station/ convenience store. The advertised cost per gallon was a full 20 cents less than I had paid just two weeks before, $3.69.

That’s when I really remembered my former colleague becoming frustrated every time I mentioned the American people were being suckered by “Big Oil” and “greedy, manipulating speculators” who were playing the oil market like Las Vegas high-rollers and we poor consumers were being bilked in the name of free enterprise.

“Supply and demand,” my friend/adversary would say each time we debated oil prices.

I would insist there’s no supply problem, and all demands are being met.

“Do you see any lines at the pump?” I would ask.

He would say something like, “You just don’t get it.”

And I admit, I don’t get it.

I’m not an economist. I know very little about the oil indus-

“

But, I also know that over the past few years speculators have been driving the price of oil while the market analysts, media observers and so-called financial experts come up with some reason prices were rising.”

try beyond its record quarterly profits reports. But, I also know that over the past few years speculators have been driving the price of oil while the market analysts, media observers and so-called financial experts come up with some reason prices were rising.

It seemed every time Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sneezed, the price for a barrel of oil would escalate. Even though the daily market values were for “future” delivery, the cost of gasoline would jump immediately. Why? For months now, we’ve been told that Iran’s flirtation with nuclear power, turmoil in Libya and China’s demand for foreign oil were contributing to the increased cost of gasoline in this country. Adding to those troubles were refineries taken off line for maintenance or seasonal changes in formulations.

And we must not forget price hikes whenever a hurricane forms in the Atlantic (although 1,000 miles away) that forecasters say may hit offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

As I’ve driven around the past few days, I’ve noticed

gasoline prices falling further. Some stations had regular unleaded priced at $3.64 a gallon. On Tuesday the website fortworthgasprices.com listed more than a dozen area stations with prices under $3.60; the lowest were several selling regular at $3.54.

Had I missed some national or international news that was drastically and rapidly affecting prices at the pump?

Ahmadinejad is as irrational as usual, although sanctions against Iran seemed to be getting the attention of Iran’s leaders. Libya is still unstable, and folks in China continue to buy more cars.

Analysts say that China’s economy, as well as manufacturing in some European nations, may be contracting, and there’s real concern over the recent presidential elections in France with a strong showing by a Socialist Party candidate.

There also has been more oil production coming out of Saudi Arabia and even an upswing in U.S. production, they say.

But the speculators are still there, and I agree with President Barack Obama that there should be greater oversight over the oil markets to mitigate the over-manipulation by those who profit through speculation. It’s been a troubling trend for too long.

Maybe the president’s announcement had something to do with the current price drop.

Of course I can hear my former colleague, Jack Z. Smith, saying, “It’s supply and demand, Bob Ray. You just don’t get it.”

To the editor: I participated in the Kansas Half-Marathon on Sunday, April 22.

It was a wonderful event!

It benefited Health Care Access, which helps so many uninsured and underinsured individuals here in Douglas County. Monday morning, I was anxious to see pictures in the Journal-World online about the event. There was nothing. According to many involved with this event, the Journal-World and Channel 6 did not cover this.

Why? There were over 2,400 participants, plus volunteers and spectators. Estimates of up to 4,000 people were downtown, looking for places to eat, park and watch this race. Participants from all over the U.S. were there, claiming it was wonderful to run around downtown Lawrence and the campus of Kansas University. From the Lawrence Arts Center looking north up New Hampshire was an awesome sight, a wall of runners in Lawrence.

This is called the Kansas Half-Marathon, which brings a lot of credibility with it and for Journal-World and Channel 6 news editors to just ignore the coverage is mind boggling. The fact this large event occurred right at their doorsteps is even more puzzling. What else could have been occurring this large in the community that did not warrant some coverage? Very disappointing, Journal World, very disappointing.

BIG 12 WOMEN’S GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

Course comfort Jason DeCrow/AP Photo

MEMPHIS DEFENSIVE TACKLE DONTARI POE, RIGHT, POSES with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after being selected as the 11th overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL Draft on Thursday in New York.

Chiefs draft DT Poe KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs filled one of their biggest needs with a massive gamble.

The Chiefs selected Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe with the No. 11 pick in the NFL draft Thursday night, taking a mammoth run stuffer whose raw ability and impressive numbers from the scouting combine trumped his modest on-field production.

The 6-foot-4, 346-pound Poe pushed 44 reps with 225 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in an unofficial time of 4.98 seconds. But he was only second-team all-Conference USA after making 33 stops, eight tackles for loss and one sack, flying under the radar most of last season.

Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who has a reputation for being risk-averse, wound up gambling on the considerable upside of Poe rather than take defensive tackles Fletcher Cox of Mississippi State or Michael Brockers of LSU, who put up more impressive numbers playing in the SEC and were still available when Kansas City went on the clock.

Poe is expected to slide into the middle of Kansas City’s 3-4 defense and take the place of Kelly Gregg.

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck went No. 1 overall to the Indianapolis Colts. He got the nod over Baylor QB Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy who was taken second overall by the Washington Redskins. Cleveland traded with Minnesota to move up from fourth to third and draft running back Trent Richardson of national champion Alabama.

MEMBERS OF THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S GOLF TEAM WAIT TO TEE OFF during a practice round for the Big 12 Championships on Thursday at Lawrence Country Club.

KU golfers hope LCC familiarity helps vs. Big 12 foes

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior golfer Katy Nugent is cheering for Mother Nature to play some tricks during this weekend’s Big 12 championships at Lawrence Country Club.

Weather forecasts call for a chance of thunderstorms today with wind gusts around 20 miles per hour.

“These greens have a lot of slope on them, and if the wind gets blowing, things will get real fun,” Nugent said with a smile. “We’re hoping that it starts howling out of the south.”

The reason for wanting to play in tougher conditions is simple: The Jayhawks have golfed at Lawrence Country Club enough in the last year to know how the course plays in each type of situation.

After sunny, mostly windfree practice rounds Thursday, other Big 12 schools might be at a disadvantage to see the course at its toughest.

MORE ONLINE Take a look at the five Kansas golfers — and their strongest Big 12 competition — at KUSports.com “I think that’ll be a big advantage, because we’ve played it when it’s so windy,” KU junior Audrey Yowell said. “And it definitely plays different.”

The Jayhawks have been preparing themselves for this weekend for a long time.

Nugent estimates she’s played at LCC around 100 times since the fall season. It’s gotten to the point where she’ll get to a spot on the course and won’t have to measure the distance to the pin; she’s been in that location enough times to know exactly where she is.

Yowell stayed in Lawrence over the summer and was able to play the course “a ton” then.

“When you first come out, (the course) doesn’t look that challenging,” Yowell said. “I think a lot of people will underrate it. The greens can be really tricky, and there’s definitely some shots you can’t miss. You can never miss long — stuff like that.”

KU coach Erin O’Neil said one key to playing at LCC was to stay in the fairways because of the long rough. She also believes her team will know the best places to attack the uneven greens.

“We’re very comfortable with being out here and playing the course,” O’Neil said. “I know we’re excited to show everyone what a great place this is and for the challenge of hosting.”

The three-day Big 12 championship, which is free to the general public, begins today at 8 a.m.

KU will be paired with Missouri and Kansas State today and will tee off at 8:40 a.m.

The tournament consists of three rounds, with one round being played each day. The lowest four individual scores each day count toward the team total, with the lowest three-day team total winning the league championship.

Seven of the 10 programs playing this weekend are ranked among the top 50 in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin ratings. That includes Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Baylor, who are ranked Nos. 16, 17 and 18, respectively.

The tournament will be missing one top competitor, as Texas junior Madison Pressel — who won last year’s Big 12 championship — will not be playing this weekend because of a right shoulder injury, UT coach Martha Richards confirmed Thursday.

At Old Hawthorne Golf Club in Columbia, Mo., last year, Pressel posted the lowest 54-hole score in the league’s championship history with an 8-under 208.

HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS

Free State takes fourth at Sunflower League; LHS eighth

“

We lost to them earlier this season, and we had nothing to lose. We just went out there and phased out everything else and tried to win it.”

— Free State junior tennis player Richard Lu

OVERLAND PARK — One by one, the matches on the surrounding Indian Creek Racquet Club courts wrapped up.

By the end of a long Thursday at the Sunflower League Tennis Invitational, an unlikely duo took center stage.

Playing in the No. 1 doubles third-place match, Free State High’s Nick Pellett and Richard Lu commanded the spotlight on Court No. 4, as they knocked off Shawnee Mission Northwest’s Connor Mitts and Connor Holman, 6-2, 6-3.

The victory gave Pellett and Lu a 3-1 record on the day and assured the Firebirds of a fourth-place finish overall — one point ahead of SMNW, and 17 points behind runaway champion Shawnee Mission East.

“Usually, there’s not that many people watching,” Pellett said of the final match, “but it’s kind of nice to have some support out there.”

There was some extra incentive, Lu added.

FREE STATE’S NICK PELLETT RETURNS A SERVE at the Sunflower League Tennis Invitational on Thursday at Indian Creek Racquet Club in Overland Park.

“We lost to them earlier this season, and we had nothing to lose,” the junior said.

“We just went out there and phased out everything else and tried to win it.”

Junior Josh Saathoff, Free State’s No. 2 singles player, spent more time on the

court than most. Saathoff’s semifinal loss took nearly two hours and his thirdplace match against Olathe South’s Conner Petty ended with a super tiebreaker (instead of a full third set, the match was decided like a tiebreaker, and the first

to 10 won). After Saathoff took the opening set 7-5, Petty responded with a 7-5 win in the second set and a 10-3 victory in the super tiebreaker.

The physicality of the tournament showed on Saathoff as he stretched his calves after each game, trying to ward off cramping. Plus, there was the mental toll.

“You’ve just gotta try to keep the ball in. You don’t want to lose a point,” Saathoff said. “It’s intense.”

In No. 1 singles, FSHS senior Andrew Craig finished seventh, which coach Oather Strawderman said assures him of a No. 2 or 3 seed at regionals, on May 4.

The Firebirds’ No. 2 doubles team, Miles Stevens and Brandon Juracek, finished sixth.

Irick 5th in No. 1 singles By the time Thomas Irick got to the fifth-place match in the No. 1 singles bracket, he didn’t look the part of a Chesty Lion.

His blue T-shirt, lacking any red or black, was hard

to argue with, though. The Lawrence High sophomore defeated Austin Crist, 8-1, to finish 3-1 at the tournament.

“This is the only shirt I had left,” Irick said, explaining he had sweat through three others en route to his final match.

To celebrate his win, Irick threw back a cold can of Coca-Cola — a reward from LHS coach Chris Marshall for taking fifth place after coming in as the No. 6 seed.

Irick needed the victory even more than he needed the Coke. He served four aces in making quick work of Crist and assured himself of a No. 1 seed at the upcoming regional.

“This is a big tournament, so you’ve gotta be on your A-game,” Irick said. “I think I brought it.”

LHS placed eighth in the team standings. In No. 1 doubles, Lions Matt Grom and Pace Leggins took eighth.

LHS junior Victor Andrade finished ninth in No. 2 singles. Randy Walter and Matthew Mikel were ninth in No. 2 doubles.

Jankovich joins SMU J-W Staff and Wire Reports

NORMAL. ILL. — Illinois State basketball coach Tim Jankovich has accepted an assistant coaching position on Larry Brown’s staff at SMU. Jankovich, 52, will take over as SMU head coach when the 71-year-old Brown’s tenure, however long it be, ends.

Former KU assistant Jankovich, 52, went 104-64 in five years at ISU. “Tim was highly recommended by Kansas coach Bill Self, and I am very excited to have him at SMU,” former KU head coach Brown said. “The number and quality of coaches interested in coming to SMU has been tremendous and to get someone with his experience and success as a head coach is invaluable.”

KU’s Self worked for Brown as a graduate assistant at KU during the 1985-86 season.

Brown spent a few weeks with KU’s team this past postseason.

“Bill called me and said you should consider hiring Tim and I said, ‘If you think he’s the right guy for me, then I will,’” Brown told ESPN’s Andy Katz.

Jankovich had interviewed for the SMU job before Brown and impressed school officials.

“I’m 71 but I don’t feel there is a time limit,” Brown said of how long he’ll coach at SMU. It’s believed Jankovich, who was paid $450,000 a year at ISU, now will make over $700,000 at SMU. ISU athletic director Gary Friedman said the men’s basketball program “is in really good shape” and would begin looking for a successor to Jankovich immediately.

BRIEFLY COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Playoff systems under discussion HOLLYWOOD, FLA. — College football is on the verge of finally having a playoff, its own version of the final four.

For the first time, all the power brokers who run the highest level of the sport are comfortable with the idea of deciding a championship the way it’s done from pee-wees to pros. And the way fans have been hoping they would for years.

“Yes, we’ve agreed to use the P word,” Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said Thursday.

They want to limit it to four teams. That’s for sure. Now they have to figure out how to pick the teams, where and when to play the games and how the bowls do or do not fit in. The new postseason format would go into effect after for the 2014 season.

Royals make it two in a row ————

K.C. claims 4-2 victory against Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have a two-game winning streak for the first time since the opening week of the season.

“We can’t lose now,” left fielder Alex Gordon joked after Thursday’s 4-2 win over the Cleveland Indians. “It’s unbelievable.”

Kansas City’s 8-2 win a day earlier stopped a 12-game skid, tied for the third-longest in franchise history. The Royals (514) hadn’t strung together wins since beating the Los Angeles Angels on April 7-8.

“It feels good to get two out of three on the road,” Gordon said. “It’s a lot more fun winning than losing, especially 12 in a row. We’re enjoying it, but I think we came here today with the goal to win again.”

Jeff Francoeur hit a goahead single in a three-run fifth for Kansas City.

Kansas City is tied for the worst record in the AL with Minnesota at 5-14. The cellar-dwellers meet in Minneapolis for a weekend series.

Manager Ned Yost hopes the Royals’ luck has changed.

“That’s why those streaks happen,” he said.

“You can’t catch a break.

You can’t find a hole.

They’re making great plays. You’re not getting a call from an umpire. It’s always something. Don’t ask me what it is. Whatever it is, when it turns you get on the right side of it for a while.”

Cleveland, coming off a 7-2 road trip, fell to 2-6 at home.

Mendoza (1-2) was pulled with the bases loaded and no outs in the sixth, but the Indians scored only one run on Travis Hafner’s sacrifice fly.

FREE STATE PITCHER J.D. PROCHASKA DELIVERS A PITCH to a Shawnee Mission Northwest batter on Thursday at FSHS.

Firebirds lose 1-0 in eight

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Base runners were never the problem for the Free State baseball team Thursday night.

Getting them in, however, proved to be a challenge, as the Firebirds fell, 1-0, to Shawnee Mission Northwest in eight innings at Free State High School.

“It’s that key hit,” Free State coach Mike Hill said.

“So much of the game is timely hitting, and darn it, we didn’t have it tonight. It’s not an issue of trying at all. Our kids certainly want to do the right thing.”

Though the game was ultimately decided in the eighth inning, Hill said the game was lost in the first four innings when Free State failed to push a run across.

The Firebirds had two runners on in the first, second and fourth innings but were unable to produce any scoring.

Free State left 10 men on base in all and had base runners in each inning except for the eighth.

“We got a decent amount of hits, but they didn’t come at the right times,” Free State pitcher J.D. Prochaska said. “Then when we had runners where they needed to be, we couldn’t bring them in.”

Northwest took the lead in the top of the eighth with a little help from Free State.

Michael Schlicht led off with an infield single, and Chase Rader replaced him at first following a fielder’s choice.

With Mack Preston at

the plate, Rader took off for second on a steal, and an overthrow allowed him to take third.

After FSHS brought the infield in, Preston blooped an RBI single over Free State second baseman Ryan Cantrell.

“We played a great team toe-to-toe all day long,” Hill said, “and we blinked.”

The coach still left impressed with his starter Prochaska.

The left-hander mixed in a fastball, curveball and change-up to keep Northwest off balance, going seven innings while allowing no runs and four hits. The senior struck out six while walking just two.

“When you’re able to deal three different pitches over the plate for strikes, at this level, you’re awfully tough. At any level, you’re awfully tough,” Hill said. “He was phenomenal.”

Prochaska’s outing was matched by Northwest’s Rader, who allowed six hits while striking out seven and walking two in seven innings.

Northwest’s Marcus McNeace pitched a 1-2-3 eighth for the save.

No Free State player had more than one hit.

Tim Turner contributed a double, while Montana Samuels added a single and walk.

Free State (7-8) plays host to Blue Valley North at 5:30 tonight.

“We’ll bounce back (today),” Hill said. “I’m really proud of our kids.”

Free State soccer coach Kelly Barah was happy but not ecstatic following his team’s 1-0 home victory over Olathe North on Thursday night.

“Excited because it’s a win, but really frustrated,” Barah said. “We couldn’t get to do the things we want to do and stick it in the back of the net. But we will take a ‘W.’” Most of the coach’s dissatisfaction came from his team’s inability to focus at certain points.

“We just got rattled a little bit with some of the fouls that we were getting, so we couldn’t recover from that quickly enough,” Barah said. “But again, credit to them for playing tough. We’ll try to get better from that.”

The Firebirds picked up their only goal before halftime, as Hadyn Hutchinson ran free on a breakaway. The sophomore pushed the ball into the side of the net for the Firebirds’ only tally.

Once again, Free State’s defense was able to hold an opponent scoreless — the seventh time in 12 games.

Barah was quick to credit his two center midfielders, Kylee Loneker and Margaux Gill, for helping the back four defend against North (2-10).

Free State also posted the shutout with a new keeper. Sophomore Annie Hiel start in place of senior Elena Auer, who sat out after picking up a red card against Olathe South.

Free State (9-1-2) will play host to No. 1-ranked Olathe East on Tuesday.

ESPN’s Dick Vitale has ranked Kansas University’s basketball team No. 4 in the country in his first preseason poll for the 2012-13 season. His final preseason rankings will be released in October.

“Keep an eye on Ben McLemore, who sat out last season. He has pro potential. Bill Self has another Big 12 front-runner,” Vitale said.

He has Louisville No. 1, followed by Kentucky, Indiana, KU, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina State, Baylor, Syracuse and Ohio State.

Other Big 12 teams: Texas, 20; Kansas State, 31; Iowa State 34; Oklahoma State 40.

O Young lists KU: James Young, a 6-7, 200-pound senior-to-be from Troy (Mich.) High School, has a top three of Kentucky, KU and Michigan State (in that order), according to Rivals.com. Young averaged 26.8 points and 8.0 rebounds a game in four games at an AAU Tournament last weekend in Minnesota. He plays for The Family out of Detroit.

Young, who is ranked No. 9 in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.com, hopes to pick a school this summer.

O Twins list KU: The Harrison twins of Texas list KU, Maryland, Kentucky, Baylor, Arizona and Villanova. Andrew Harrison, who is ranked No. 2 in the Class of 2013, and Aaron Harrison, who is ranked No. 5, are 6-foot-5 combo guards out of Travis High School in Fort Bend, Texas.

O Off to Topeka: KU’s men’s and women’s basketball teams will be recognized today at the Capitol in Topeka. Women’s players Tania Jackson, CeCe Harper, Angel Goodrich and Carolyn Davis and men’s players Conner Teahan, Jeff Withey, Travis Releford and Jordan Juenemann — as well as AD Sheahon Zenger — will visit the Senate and House and make an appearance with Gov. Sam Brownback.

Dear Annie: My husband, “Ken,” has been self-employed for 25 years. He owns two large trailers and has always parked them in our driveway. However, in the past two months, we’ve had visits from the police department nearly every night. A neighbor we have never met keeps reporting us. He complains that when my husband gets home from work, he sometimes parks his truck with one tire resting in the dirt.

A city ordinance requires us to have the section where we park either rocked or paved.

We can’t afford it right now. Times have been really tough. Ken tries very hard to park our trailers and truck in our driveway without touching any grass, but it’s difficult to do. The police have been sympathetic, saying the neighbor is targeting us.

They know him as the local troublemaker. He has

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

a view of our driveway from his backyard and watches it all the time.

We are honest, hardworking people and wouldn’t harm a soul, but this situation has become personal. Yesterday, we asked the police officer to file a neighbor nuisance report. We don’t know what else to do. I can’t sleep, and I’m scared for my family. I have no idea what else this man is capable of. I’m ready to have a restraining order placed against him, but as far as I know, he doesn’t approach our house. He

‘Whale Wars’ moves to N. Atlantic A new season of “Whale Wars” (8 p.m., Animal Planet) moves the action to a different ocean battleground. Previous seasons followed the efforts of the Sea Shepherd and its crew to prevent Japanese fleets from killing and harvesting whales.

This season takes us across the planet to the Faroe Islands, a remote chain located between Iceland and Scotland. The selfgoverning Danish territory has about 50,000 residents. Proud descendants of Vikings, with fishing traditions dating back thousands of years, they have long depended on whale meat for food and have conducted annual whale kills for too many generations to enumerate. They call their grim annual rite “The Grind.”

Stopping these events will pit the Sea Shepherd against tradition, angry and fiercely independent native islanders, and more than 20 potential killing spots spread across 18 islands.

O “Ghost Adventures” (8 p.m., Travel) ends its season with a special appearance by Motley Crue performer Vince Neil. He’s part of a team of show-biz regulars who will help hosts Zak, Nick and Aaron investigate tales of haunting at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. Bruce Westcott, who worked as Frank Sinatra’s pianist, will give the guys a tour of the fabled Riviera.

No stranger to the reality genre, Vince Neil has appeared as himself on “Skating With the Stars,” ‘‘Celebrity Ghost Stories,” “Gene Simmons Family Jewels,” ‘‘20 Greatest Celebreality Moments,” “Queer Eye” and “The Weakest Link.”

O The premium movie channel Epix offers “With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story” (7 p.m.), a genial biography of the Marvel comic creator. The film includes vintage clips of Lee with the animators who helped him create Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Iron Man and 200 other characters.

O The appearance of Rob Lowe (“Parks and Recreation”) on “Who Do You Think You Are?” (7 p.m., NBC) takes him to the Library of Congress to discover a distant ancestor’s role in the American Revolution and a direct connection to George Washington.

Tonight’s other highlights O The big boss of a pretzel maker appears on “Undercover Boss” (7 p.m., CBS).

O A racetrack murder looms large on “The Finder” (7 p.m., Fox).

O A novel nail polish gets noticed on “Shark Tank” (7 p.m., ABC).

only watches it, which creeps me out even more.

Can we do anything? — Illinois Neighbor Dear Illinois: Your unkind, nosy neighbor has way too much time on his hands. He can watch your house from a distance all day long if he wishes, and as long as you keep violating a city ordinance, he will keep reporting you. First, see whether there is a neighborhood association that could help the two of you resolve this. Sometimes, such neighbors simply crave attention and need to feel important. Then start saving your pennies to enlarge the driveway area.

Dear Annie: My friend “Lonnie” smokes both tobacco and marijuana in the presence of her young child. Anytime I mention the subject and tell her I don’t support her smoking, she completely ignores me. I feel terrible being associated with a

person who can’t see the effect tobacco and drug use will have on her child.

I often wonder what will happen when her daughter realizes that her entire schedule is based around Mommy’s smoke break.

I am ready to move on from this tainted friendship, but hate the thought of never spending quality time with Lonnie’s little girl. She is always put on the back “burner.” Any suggestions? — BurnedOut Friend Dear Friend: Lonnie is addicted. She is unlikely to admit that she values her smoking above her child’s health. Is there a father in the picture?

Would you be willing to report Lonnie for possession? Regardless, please stick around in order to keep an eye on the child.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

jacquelinebigar.com

For Friday, April 27: This year you’ll skip over confusion through a desire to really see the facts. Misunderstandings will become less common if you are willing to confirm the conversation, interaction or plans. If you are single, you could meet someone significant at any given moment.

If you are attached, your relationship benefits from your clarity and optimism.

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) ++++ Confusion earmarks a personal matter. You are able to sort fact from fiction with relative ease. Tonight: Home is where the heart is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ Keep asking, if you do not get your question answered. You’ll need to choose different words or a different entry point. Tonight: Visit with friends over munchies.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ Your instincts guide you with your finances. Your ability to move past issues earmarks your interactions. Tonight: Count your change. Be careful.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ You can overcome nearly any obstacle. Your instincts will point you to the correct action or decision. Tonight: You are the lead actor.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ Observe everything you want. Make judgments if you like, but still be discreet at this point.

Tonight: Not to be found.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Friends surround you.

Even people you consider to be

acquaintances will demonstrate unusual understanding and support.

Tonight: Only where people are.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ Everyone asks for your support or opinion. Opportunities emerge from out of the blue, but you might not want to jump on the bandwagon just yet. Tonight: A force to behold.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Keep seeking out more information. You actually might have to visit a loved one to gain the perspective you seek. Tonight: An odd invitation or idea works.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Someone you associate with clearly knows what he or she wants. Figure out a way that you both can have what you want.

Tonight: With someone special.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ Defer to others, and recognize that everyone needs his or her time in the limelight. You can afford not to be on center stage all the time. Tonight: Let the weekend start in style.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You might be hardpressed to stick to routine, which is not your strong suit anyway. Others seem to tap into your knowledge or seek out your opinion. Tonight: Do what you must.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++ You are able to move past a problem quickly, as long as you use your imagination as a resource.

You are easily able to draw out others, especially one person who could be unusually tense. Tonight: Add some spice to your life.
