Proposed tax cuts projected to lead to deficits

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A tax-cut proposal endorsed by Gov. Sam Brownback remained in conference committee Monday as fiscal forecasts showed the measure would

Breezy

lead to state deficits.

The most up-to-date projection provided by Kansas Legislative Research Department showed deficits starting in 2015 and growing to $161 million by July 1, 2017.

An earlier projection showed the tax cuts would

transform a $612 million surplus in the next fiscal year into a $911 million deficit in a little more than five years.

But that, officials said, was based on an earlier version of the bill and lower revenue growth projections.

Despite the reduction in

the projected deficit, opponents of the proposal said it would still produce huge problems for the state.

“We need to slow this process down,” said Sen. Tom Holland of Baldwin City, who is the lead Democrat in the Senate on tax issues.

Republicans on the HouseSenate tax conference committee had agreed to the bill last week, but on Monday indicated more work needed to be done. The committee is scheduled to meet again today.

JUDY BILLINGS STARTED HER CAREER at the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau as a part-time secretary in 1980. In just a couple of years, she had moved into the director’s position, and now, more than 30 years later, she’s retiring as president and CEO of Destination Management Inc.

Nuclear war to Civil War: Tourism leader has seen city through it all

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Retirement reception

Not many folks can say their careers actually started off with a bang — a nuclear one, nonetheless.

It didn’t look like Judy Billings’ would either.

In 1980, Billings was the parttime secretary for the newly formed Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau. By 1982, she had moved into the director’s position. A rapid rise, but not exactly what you would call a bang, since many Lawrence resident still were trying to wrap their heads around the need for a local convention and visitors bureau.

But then a place that has made a habit of changing fortunes came calling: Hollywood. Producers for a television movie not only wanted to film in Law-

rence but also wanted to make Lawrence the centerpiece of the movie’s plot.

“I didn’t know anything about movie-making,” Billings said.

“But in the 1980s, I knew we were in a recession and it could bring some economic development activity to town. It was estimated the movie crew would spend $1 million in the community. And I

can tell you, they did spend money everywhere.”

The movie, of course, was “The Day After.” The movie of Lawrence in the aftermath of a U.S.-Soviet nuclear war brought media members from around the world to cover the Lawrence premiere. An unheard of television audience of more than 100 million people tuned into the broadcast. The movie is still a bit of a cult classic, and it has carved out a permanent place in Lawrence’s cultural scene.

Come to find out, a one-time part-time secretary has found a lasting place in it too.

“Judy Billings is one of the linchpins of Lawrence culture,” said former Douglas County Commissioner Charles Jones, who worked closely Please see BILLINGS, page 2A

Close is not close enough.

New plans for a multistory hotel/retail building at the southeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire won over some key opponents Monday night, but the city’s Historic Resources Commission found the proposed building is still too tall to fit in with a historic east Lawrence neighborhood.

“We are not here to help craft a profitable structure,” said Historic Resources Commissioner Michael Arp. “We’re here to make sure what is built there meets the guidelines, and I still don’t believe it does.”

A development group led

by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor had hoped new plans that cut one story off of the building would satisfy the Historic Resources Commission. The project eliminated 21 apartments from the design to make for a smaller building that ranges from five stories near Ninth and New Hampshire to three stories along the edge closest to the neighborhood along Rhode Island Street.

“It is disappointing,” said Lawrence attorney Dan Watkins, who represents the development group. “It was a significant reduction in height, mass and uses.”

The project can be appealed to the Lawrence City Commission. If the City Commission finds there are no feasible and prudent alternatives to the project, it can allow the project to move forward despite the Please see HOTEL, page 2A

Health assessment finds disparities in residents’ access

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Inadequate access to affordable nutritious foods and dental services are among the top challenges that Douglas County residents face when it comes to living a healthy life.

They were among 13 areas identified as needing improvement according to a new 38-page Community Health Assessment report released Monday by the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

The department and partner agencies have been collecting data since October 2011, and more than 1,500 Douglas County residents provided information for the report by taking part in an online survey, focus groups and one-on-one interviews.

Health Department Director Dan Partridge said the report helps provide a better understanding of the issues affecting the community’s health.

“The results of the assessment point out that future health status is not just about health care. Themes around employment, personal safety and transportation were just some of the themes repeatedly mentioned,” he said.

When it comes to access to healthy foods, residents listed transportation as being a barrier. Other comments included in the report:

with Billings on many projects. “I think of our community as really culturally rich, from downtown activities to our heritage area. Judy has had a hand in so much of it.”

Billings announced in December she was retiring from her position as president and CEO of Destination Management Inc., the not-for-profit group that oversees the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area. Community leaders are hosting a reception for Billings from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Carnegie Building at Ninth and Vermont streets.

Having pride When Billings interviewed for that part-time secretary’s job, she told the director of the CVB that the job she really wanted was his. The job has ended up being everything she hoped for, and a bit more, she said.

“I think there are a lot of people in Lawrence who would love this job,” Billings said. “If you love Lawrence, it has a lot to offer.”

Like a history lesson.

Billings said the job has been a great opportunity to learn about the area’s piv-

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

otal role in the days leading up to the Civil War. “I grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, and didn’t know much about Bleeding Kansas,” Billings said. “I graduated from the University of Missouri, which is a littleknown fact around here.”

Now, Billings lists among her accomplishments the formation of an organization that has brought together 41 counties from the Kansas and Missouri border region to showcase the area’s history. Jones, the former county commissioner, approached Billings about the idea of a federally recognized heritage area as a way to boost the area’s tourism industry about 15 years ago.

The heritage area won congressional approval in 2006 and has undergone years of planning since.

The offices for the area are at the Carnegie Building at Ninth and Vermont, and a new permanent display recently has been added to the building.

Billings is convinced Freedom’s Frontier will become a calling card that makes the area more of a national destination, especially for tourists who travel to Civil War sites.

“Most of them have already been to all those places back East,” Billings said. “But most don’t know much about what happened prior to the shot at Fort Sumter.

“I think more and more Civil War tourists are going to start asking ‘what

caused all this,’ and that will bring them here.”

When they get here, colleagues said they’ll find signs of Billings all around town.

“So many people come to Lawrence and say that this place just has a certain feel,” said Joan Golden, a current board member of Destination Management Inc. “I think how this place feels has a lot to do with the work Judy has been doing over the years.”

But Billings said she hopes it is not just visitors that get something out of her office’s efforts. She frequently says the Freedom’s Frontier Heritage Area may end up being more valuable to residents than even tourists.

“I think it is important for people to have pride in where they live,” Billings said. “Hopefully, we’ve helped create a sense of pride, and I think that will translate into kids growing up here and wanting to stay here.

“I think what we’re doing now is starting to show people that it is much more than just a great university and a great downtown, and all the things we promote.

Lawrence really is part of a much bigger story. Lots of places were founded for various reasons, but not many for reasons as important as this place.”

do not have an identified primary care physician.

Poverty and few job opportunities. Between 20 and 30 percent of the population lives in poverty. The rate exceeds the state average.

Limited access to safe and affordable housing. It is estimated that 13 percent of homes have an increased risk of lead exposure.

Abuse of alcohol.

Fourteen percent of youths and 10 percent of adults had engaged in binge drinking in the past 30 days. More than 250 cases of preventable ER visits in 2011 were due to excessive alcohol use.

Lack of access to health insurance coverage. Nearly 15 percent of residents do not have health coverage.

Inadequate access to mental health services.

About one-third of residents reported having one or more days in the past 30 days in which their mental health was not good.

Limited knowledge of available health and other services. Residents in Eu-

dora, Baldwin City and Lecompton noted a lack of communication venues for events, activities and services.

Lack of physical activity. More than 50 percent of residents do not meet recommendations for weekly exercise. Many residents noted a lack of sidewalks and recreational facilities.

Inadequate transportation linking people to services, jobs and recreation.

This month, the health department will host four 90-minute public forums to discuss the Community Health Assessment and to prioritize the 13 areas. Forums will be at 3:30 p.m.

May 9 and 7 p.m. May 17 at Lawrence’s Community Health Facility, 200 Maine; 7 p.m. May 15 at Eudora Community Center, 1630 Elm St.; and 7 p.m. May 16 at Baldwin City Library, 800 Seventh St. To view the full report, visit the health department’s website at ldchealth.org.

Baldwin City residents said they couldn’t afford to take off work to visit the Douglas County Dental Clinic in Lawrence, which provides services based on a sliding-income scale.

Partridge said the report is the first community health assessment that has been done in about two decades. He said the report tracked where emergency room visits came from for dental, asthma, diabetes and alcohol treatment, and most came from areas associated with poor housing and poverty.

Other areas identified as needing improvement:

Insufficient access to health care and other services. Thirty-five percent of adults have not had a general checkup in the past year, and 20 percent

rejection from the HRC. Watkins said he would have to consult with his clients before he could comment on whether an appeal would be filed with the City Commission.

The project won two key endorsements before the vote. The city’s Historic Resources staff provided a report that said the new design warranted approval under the various guidelines the city uses for historic projects. The city staff had recommended denial of the previous plans. The leader of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance said his organization also could support the project as meeting the minimum guidelines needed for approval. The organization previously had urged the Historic Resources Commission to reject the plan.

A majority of Historic Resources commissioners, however, said the building was still too large in comparison to the adjacent Lawrence Arts Center. Some commissioners said they wanted to see another story eliminated.

The Historic Resources Commission on Monday took three votes on the project and approved the project on two of three matters. The project was found to be in compliance with the city’s Downtown

KU staffs to merge in July

BRIEFLY Sex offender indicted on additional charges A federal grand jury has indicted a Douglas County man already accused of failing to register as a sex offender on two additional charges.

According to a superseding indictment filed earlier this month, federal prosecutors now also accuse Gustav Wilhelm Brune, 32, with viewing a website containing child pornography and possessing firearm ammunition as a convicted felon. Federal officials in December initially charged Brune with failing to register and keep his registration upto-date from 2009 to 2011.

They argue Brune was required to register after he was convicted in federal court in 2001 of possession of child pornography. In the new indictment, federal officials also accuse Brune on Nov. 30, 2011, of possessing ammunition for firearms when he was barred from doing so as a convicted felon. They also allege that on Aug. 7, 2011, he accessed a website with child pornography.

On the federal registration charges, Brune’s attorney has argued that Brune registered with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Aug. 31, 2011, and that he was not in violation of the registration law in November 2011.

Reorganization of departments a part of ongoing efficiency review

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

MIKE WHITE, A CUSTODIAN AT SOUTH MIDDLE SCHOOL, has been working for the Lawrence school district for more than eight years. An Only in Lawrence honoree, he’s been touted as “the type of person, if someone has a need, he will just step up and help out. He doesn’t draw attention to himself.”

Custodian praised as the ‘glue that holds things together’

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Before most of us down our first cup of coffee, Mike White, the lead custodian at South Middle School, has been hard at work for several hours.

On a spring day in March, White had swept the gym floors, fixed a lock on a gate at the football field, cleaned up the cafeteria after breakfast and mended a rail on the stairs. And that was all before 9:30 a.m.

“It’s been a busy day,” White said.

For more than eight years, White, 48, has shuffled furniture from room to room, washed windows, scrubbed floors and set up for sporting events at Lawrence schools.

“He’s kind of the glue of the building that holds things together,” said Tom Bracciano, division director of facilities and maintenance

for Lawrence public schools.

Secretaries and custodians are key to making schools run smoothly, Bracciano said. Today, the custodian’s job involves m a k ing sure buildings are secure, understanding complex heating and cooling systems and being a presence in the lunch room.

“It is not just going in and cleaning bathrooms; that is the least

part of the job now,” Bracciano said.

White started at Lawrence High School as a custodian more than eight years ago. Six months into the job, the position as the lead night custodian came open and White took over.

It was a 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift that had White overseeing a staff of six to seven people. At night his crews would set up for sporting events, school

A planned merger among Kansas University’s custodial and maintenance staffs for the university and its housing departments is scheduled to take place on July 1, but the university will be filling several reorganized supervisory positions before the staffs combine.

Barry Swanson, KU’s associate vice provost for operations, said many of the new positions will be open only to KANSAS existing hous- UNIVERSITY ing or university facilities staff members.

The merger is happening as part of an ongoing efficiency review of many different aspects of the university.

Knowing that this was coming, Swanson said KU used a high turnover rate in the facilities operations staff to keep several vacancies unfilled in preparation for the cuts in supervisor positions.

Delays expected on northbound bridge

School accused of deleting abuse images

Motorists on Wednesday should expect longer than normal delays as they travel through the construction zone on the northbound Kansas River bridge in downtown Lawrence.

Crews will begin a new phase of repaving work on the northbound bridge, which will require more equipment in the area.

One lane of traffic will remain open on the bridge, but Kansas Department of Transportation officials are urging motorists to find an alternate route or be prepared for delays.

Once the repaving work is completed, the newly finished lane will need to cure for at least seven days before crews can finish the project. The entire bridge project is expected to be completed by early June.

WICHITA (AP) — A Kansas military boarding school embroiled in a lawsuit alleging widespread abuse of cadets ordered its students last week to surrender their cellphones, and a staff member reviewed photos and videos stored on them and then deleted hundreds of images related to the school, according to a document filed Monday in federal court.

Lawyers for seven former cadets who sued St. John’s Military School in Salina allege that one of the deleted videos showed a staff member abusing a student, while others showed abuse of former cadets who have filed suit.

The school, in an email statement to The Associated Press, denied the destruction of evidence related to the lawsuit.

plays and meetings. They made sure the time clock was working, pulled out the gym risers and set up chairs.

During the summer, they would wax the floors, paint the walls and move furniture.

“If something needed to be done, he stayed over and helped finish it up,” Lawrence High School Principal Matt Brungardt said of White.

Before the start of this school year, South Middle School Principal Will Fernandez was looking for a lead custodian who would be dedicated and work well with students, teachers and staff.

Bracciano said he knew just the person.

“What we really look for in a custodian to run our building is someone who takes pride in what they do,” Bracciano said.

And, that describes White.

‘I’ll try to get to it as quick as I can,’ is White’s typical response when assigned a task, Fernandez said. He’ll even come in on a weekend to make sure it gets done.

“He’s a home run,” Fernandez said. “I ask him to do something, there’s no grumbling or complaining. He does it as efficiently and as effectively as he can.”

Behind-the-scenes is how Esther Long would characterize White and his wife, Sheila. Long, whose husband, Ken, leads the Lawrence Church of Christ, described him as an “incredible servant.”

Once a month, the Whites set up a meal for

a fellowship lunch after the service for up to 125 people. On many of those occasions White will cook the main meat, roasting turkeys or smoking pulled pork at home. His wife brings dessert.

“He is just the type of person, if someone has a need, he will just step up and help out. He doesn’t draw attention to himself,” Long said.

White moved to Lawrence from Jefferson City, Mo., in first grade. He attended the Lawrence public schools until the 11th grade, when his family returned to Missouri. After he finished school, White returned to Lawrence in 1986.

“I’ve been here ever since,” he said.

He has three children, Samantha, 21, Sydney, 12, and Mike Jr., 5.

White has one particular student at South he’s keeping an eye on this year. His daughter, Sydney is a sixth-grader there.

“It was nice to show her around and help her out,” he said.

White applied for the high school’s custodian job after getting hurt while working construction. He tried working in a factory first, but discovered it wasn’t his thing.

At one time White had a business office cleaning company, so when he saw an ad in the paper for the custodian job, he applied.

He’s glad he did.

“I like the atmosphere and the kids. I’m a very kid-friendly person,” White said. “And the teachers and staff are awesome. It’s fun to come to work.”

City to mull boardwalk development plans Tax

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Requests for downtown boundary change, large buildings on the table

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence city commissioners will take a stroll along the boardwalk, so to speak, at their meeting today.

Commissioners are scheduled to consider a host of rezoning requests and a major change to the city’s downtown boundaries that would open the door to a boardwalk-style development along the north bank of the Kansas River.

But the boardwalk likely won’t be the center of discussion at today’s meeting. Instead, the prospect of a big box store on the site is drawing concern from some downtown merchants who fear the project could be more of a competitor to downtown than a complement.

“I think having a major new development this close to downtown has the potential to be really awesome for downtown or really bad for downtown,” said Dan Hughes, owner of Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 804 Mass. “It all just depends on what we really end up getting.”

Plans being presented to commissioners today are just concept plans.

“I don’t want to hamstring the project before it gets started,” Werner said. “But you have an 85,000-square-foot Sears building sitting vacant, and no one is talking about putting a big box store on a lot behind Johnny’s on the river.”

Some city commissioners, though, may want more assurances on the issue.

Mayor Bob Schumm, who is a downtown restaurant owner and landlord, said he’s generally supportive of the project. But he said he would rather allow the project to move forward with the 25,000-squarefoot limit, with the option of approving a larger building for a specific user that comes forward.

“But I like the idea of development near the river,” Schumm said. “It could create a new level of ambience that could help define the downtown environment.”

City commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. today at City Hall.

Man sentenced to prison in solicitation case

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Douglas County judge Monday sentenced a 38-year-old Lawrence man to serve eight years in prison for convictions in three cases, including indecent solicitation of a minor.

Timothy L. Turner had pleaded guilty earlier this month to the solicitation charge for a sexual encounter Sept. 9 with a 15-year-old girl at a house in south-central Lawrence. At a November pre-

liminary hearing, the girl testified she had sneaked out of a women’s shelter with a friend and met Turner when she got into a car driven by another man they met in downtown Lawrence.

COURTS Defense attorney Branden Smith said Monday in court Turner accepted responsibility for his part in the crimes and in the solicitation case, Turner was unaware the victim was younger than

18 until police questioned him. That assertion was at odds with the girl’s testimony in November in which she said she told Turner she was 15.

Turner’s eight-year prison sentence also includes time for two other convictions, one a 2010 marijuana possession conviction and a 2010 property crime conviction.

On top of the eight-year prison sentence, District Judge Sally Pokorny ordered Turner to serve eight more months in the Douglas County Jail for

New statistics for 2011 show 50% jump in Kansas meth lab incidents

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See graphs on the number of meth lab incidents in Kansas and in Douglas County at LJWorld.com

Kansas saw a nearly 50 percent increase in methamphetamine lab incidents between 2010 and 2011, according to updated numbers provided by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

Such incidents had declined in Kansas and across the country until recently, but Kansas saw meth lab incidents jump

from 143 in 2010 to 204 last year.

In a March JournalWorld article on the rise of meth labs in southeast Kansas, preliminary lab incident statistics stood at 187. However, the state received additional reports in early 2012, said Loretta Severin, drug strategy coordinator for the KBI. National numbers of meth lab incidents for 2011 also increased from the preliminary statistics reported in January, up to 11,128 from 10,069.

Through the first three months of 2012, Kansas law enforcement have re-

ported 24 meth lab incidents. Two of the counties profiled in the JournalWorld article, Cherokee and Montgomery, lead the state so far this year with six and five incidents, respectively.

Officials from those counties have attributed the increase in meth lab incidents to the rise of the “one-pot,” or “shake and bake,” method that requires less equipment and quantity of pseudoephedrine to produce meth.

violating his probation in a 2009 misdemeanor case. Turner also will be required to register as a sex offender for 25 years for the solicitation conviction, Pokorny said.

Franklin County Attorney Heather Jones, who was a special prosecutor in the case, said the plea agreement in the case was appropriate because the sentences in four cases will run consecutive to one another.

Democrats and some Republicans have endorsed a plan to follow current law and allow the state sales tax to decrease from 6.3 percent to 5.7 percent next year.

They also have supported a plan aimed at providing $180 million in property tax relief over four years.

But Brownback, a Republican, and his supporters want to cut taxes more. Brownback has voiced approval of a plan to decrease income tax rates and phase out the nonwage income tax on nearly 200,000 businesses.

Brownback says the plan will boost the economy. Democrats say it will leave no revenue to adequately fund core services of state government.

According to the most recent projection provided by the Kansas Legislative Research Department, the tax cuts would start producing state budget deficits three years out.

But Sen. Les Donovan, R-Wichita, who is chair of the Senate tax committee, said the proposal, especially the exemption of nonwage business income proposed

by Brownback, would jumpstart the state’s fiscal picture.

“What if the governor’s idea really does work?” he asked. “These numbers will be blown away.”

On Friday, Brownback said he believed there would be enough revenue for the state budget. “The numbers look doable,” Brownback said. He said that he and the Legislature must “continue to be aggressive in holding our costs down.”

But Holland said there is no evidence to indicate the tax cuts will increase jobs and business activity.

Under the proposal, the three state income tax

rates of 3.5 percent, 6.25 percent and 6.45 percent would be collapsed into two rates of 3 percent and 4.9 percent. The business tax elimination would be phased in over four years.

On Monday, both Donovan and House tax chair Richard Carlson, R-St. Marys, proposed ideas that would lengthen the phaseout of the business tax or temporarily set the top personal income tax rate at 5.1 percent as ways to reduce the projected budget deficits.

Democrats and some Republicans also have criticized the plan because it would eliminate or reduce several tax credits aimed at helping low-income Kansans. The measure would remove renters from the homestead property tax refund and repeal tax credits for child care and dependent care. Also, taxpayers who qualify for both the Earned Income Tax Credit and food sales tax rebate credit could only receive one of those credits.

Obama challenges Romney on bin Laden death

By Anne Gearan and Steve Peoples Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama gave a steely defense of his handling of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and his use of it to burnish his reelection credentials a year later, saying Monday that it is appropriate to mark an anniversary that Republicans c h a r g e is being turned into a campaign bumper Obama sticker.

He then jumped at the chance to portray presumed Republican presidential challenger Romney Mitt Romney as unprepared to make the kind of hard call required to send U.S. forces on that highly risky mission. Without mentioning Romney by name, Obama recommended looking at people’s previous statements on the manhunt for the 9/11 mastermind.

Obama’s re-election team has seized on a quote from Romney in 2007, when he said it was not worth moving heaven and earth to go after one person. On Monday, Romney said he “of course” would have ordered bin Laden killed, but his campaign criticized Obama for turning the successful death raid to political gain.

“I assume that people meant what they said when they said it,” Obama said at a White House news conference. “That’s been at least my practice. I said that I’d go after bin Laden if we had a clear shot at him, and I did. If there are others who have said one thing and now suggest they’d do something else, then I’d go ahead and let them explain it.”

Obama is using the May 2 anniversary to help maximize a political narrative that portrays him as bold and decisive. Romney has sought to cast Obama as weak and too quick to compromise on other foreign policy matters, including Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Obama and his national security team will be featured in an NBC primetime special Wednesday night that reconstructs

EPA official resigns over ‘crucify’ remark WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s top environmental official in the oil-rich South Central region has resigned after Republicans targeted him over remarks made two years ago when he used the word “crucify” to describe how he would go after companies violating environmental laws.

In a letter to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson sent Sunday, Al Armendariz says he regrets his words and stresses Armendariz that they do not reflect his work as administrator of the five-state region including Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.

The environmental engineer apologized last week for his remarks. A senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject, said Armendariz has since received death threats. His resignation was effective Monday.

Sam Coleman, a career official who led the agency’s response to Hurricane Katrina and served as Armendariz’ deputy, took over as acting regional administrator.

the operation from inside the White House Situation Room. White House counterterrorism chief John Brennan discussed Obama’s command of the raid on a Sunday talk show and in a speech Monday.

“The death of bin Laden was our most strategic blow yet against al-Qaida,” Brennan said at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington.

Credit goes to the special forces who carried out the raid and the intelligence experts who led them to the hideout, Brennan said, “and to President Obama, who gave the order to go in.”

Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by U.S. Navy SEALs. The terror leader was living in a compound outside the capital of Islamabad, having evaded capture for nearly 10 years.

U.S. not reporting all Afghan attacks

By Robert Burns Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The military is under-reporting the number of times that Afghan soldiers and police open fire on American and other foreign troops.

The U.S.-led coalition routinely reports each time an American or other foreign soldier is killed by an Afghan in uniform. But The Associated Press has learned it does not report insider attacks in which the Afghan wounds — or misses — his U.S. or allied target. It also doesn’t report the wounding of troops who were attacked alongside those who were killed.

Such attacks reveal a level of mistrust and ill will between the U.S.led coalition and its Afghan counterparts in an increasingly unpopular war. The U.S. and its military partners are working more closely with Afghan troops in preparation for

The U.S.-led coalition routinely reports each time an American or other foreign soldier is killed by an Afghan in uniform. But The Associated Press has learned it does not report insider attacks in which the Afghan wounds — or misses — his U.S. or allied target. handing off security responsibility to them by the end of 2014.

In recent weeks an Afghan soldier opened fire on a group of American soldiers but missed the group entirely. The Americans quickly shot him to death. Not a word about this was reported by the International Security Assistance Force, or ISAF, as the coalition is formally known. It was disclosed to the AP by a U.S. official who was granted anonymity in order to give a fuller picture of the “insider” problem.

ISAF also said nothing about last week’s attack in which two Afghan policemen in Kandahar province fired on U.S. soldiers, wounding two. Reporters

learned of it from Afghan officials and from U.S. officials in Washington. The two Afghan policemen were shot to death by the Americans present.

Just last Wednesday, an attack that killed a U.S. Army special forces soldier, Staff Sgt. Andrew T. Brittonmihalo, 25, of Simi Valley, Calif., also wounded three other American soldiers. The death was reported by ISAF as an insider attack, but it made no mention of the wounded — or that an Afghan civilian also was killed.

The attacker was an Afghan special forces soldier who opened fire with a machine gun at a base in Kandahar province. He was killed by return fire.

That attack apparently

was the first by a member of the Afghan special forces, who are more closely vetted than conventional Afghan forces and are often described by American officials as the most effective and reliable in the Afghan military.

Coalition officials do not dispute that such nonfatal attacks happen, but they have not provided a full accounting.

The insider threat has existed for years but has grown more deadly. Last year there were 21 fatal attacks that killed 35 coalition service members, according to ISAF figures.

That compares with 11 fatal attacks and 20 deaths the previous year. In 2007 and 2008, there were a combined total of four attacks and four deaths.

ISAF has released brief descriptions of each of the fatal attacks for 2012 but says similar information for fatal attacks in 2011 is considered classified and therefore cannot be released.

Review due Last month’s escape of four inmates indicates a need for the Kansas Department of Corrections to review its use of county jails to house state inmates.

A

n April 18 jailbreak in Minneapolis, Kan., has drawn needed attention to the potential problems that arise when state prisoners are housed in county jails.

The four state inmates who escaped from the Ottawa County Jail included a Wichita gang member convicted of gunning down two teens. All four of the inmates were recaptured within three days, but their escape got the attention of officials with the Kansas Department of Corrections.

In addition to Ottawa County, state inmates are being housed in three other medium- or maximum-security jails in Butler, Cowley and Leavenworth counties. They have been placed in county jails to alleviate crowded conditions at state prison facilities.

However, after the Ottawa County incident, the Department of Corrections decided to remove inmates convicted of murder or sex crimes from the county jails and return them to state prisons.

According to news reports, even though corrections officials had confidence in the safety and security of the county jails they were using, they moved inmates to “be sensitive to the public’s perception.”

There’s an old saying about perception being reality. It’s a bit cavalier to portray the escape of four inmates, including a convicted murderer, as simply a perception problem. Based on the Minneapolis incident, Kansans have a right to wonder whether using county jails to house state inmates poses a safety risk in the state.

At least for now, corrections officials have decided not to place more state inmates in the Ottawa County Jail. That move could be intended simply to ease the public’s concerns or it could be an indication state officials have some doubts about that jail’s ability to handle the responsibility of state inmates.

Kansas Secretary of Corrections Ray Roberts told the Wichita Eagle that the use of county jails is necessary to deal with crowding in state prison facilities.

He said the department currently is 200 inmates over capacity and he is hopeful the Kansas Legislature will approve funding to expand the number of prison beds. That may be a necessary shortterm solution, but it’s too bad the state isn’t putting more emphasis on restoring funding that was cut several years ago for programs that had proven highly successful in reducing the need for more prison beds by reducing the number of released inmates who returned to prison.

For now, the primary job of the corrections department is to house state inmates in a manner that protects the safety and security of both inmates and noninmates in Kansas. The Minneapolis escape indicates that the state’s current system for providing that protection may need some review.

Shakespeare feeds hope in Kabul Last week I read a book called Shakespeare in Kabul that probably upends everything you thought you knew about Afghanistan.

It’s an important book — and it’s being published just after U.S. officials pledged to support Afghanistan for a decade beyond the exit of U.S. troops at the end of 2014.

That deal isn’t yet final. but if we want to maintain a longterm relationship with Afghanistan, more Americans need to understand the yearnings of ordinary Afghans. This moving tale of Afghan efforts to stage Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost reveals what might have been — and might still emerge one day — in Kabul.

The idea for the play emerged in 2005 at a time when Afghanistan was swept by optimism in the wake of successful presidential elections. “Everyone saw good things ahead,” says the book’s coauthor Steve Landrigan. He spent five years doing development work in Afghanistan, and was inspired by the Afghan passion for poetry.

Landrigan joined forces with Corinne Jaber, a Parisbased actress, who wound up producing the play, and with Qais Akbar Omar (coauthor of the book), a remarkable young Afghan who had survived the horrors of Afghan civil war and Taliban rule.

As a student, after the Taliban’s fall, Omar had stumbled upon a Farsi translation of Othello in the Kabul University library. (Farsi is the Persian language, which is similar to

Yet, the bigger story that emerges from this book … is the hunger of Afghans to emerge from decades of war and Taliban repression.” the Afghan Dari dialect.)

“As I read the first few pages,” Omar told me by phone, “I was immediately fascinated. Who is this man, with this foreign name, I wondered, who writes like one of our great poets?” He called the bard Malem Shakespeare, because in Afghan culture the title malem (teacher) conveys the highest respect.

But the Taliban had burned most books in Kabul, and there were no other Shakespeare texts to be found.

Moreover, as the group auditioned Afghan actors and described Shakespeare’s famous scenes of war, the actors made clear they did not want to perform anything connected with bloodshed.

“They said we have to do something funny, something romantic,” Omar told me.

Love’s Labour’s Lost was chosen because of its beautiful poetry and courtly notions of love. Shakespeare in Kabul describes the daunting obstacles the group overcame, including the need to translate the complex language of the play from a version by an Iranian professor.

The actors would sit in a circle reading the language until they grasped it. “They loved the poetry, which was so rich,” says Omar. One actor told him, “I think Shakespeare is an Afghan who migrated to England.”

The producers also had to overcome the inexperience of the Afghan actors, who had only done TV or movies. And they had to find women willing to risk appearing on stage with men — the first time this had happened in 30 years.

Finding funding was also a huge task: the British Council, which promotes British culture overseas, was a major backer. But the U.S. Embassy refused to help because Shakespeare was British — and Congress has mandated that it must use funds to promote only American culture.

I kid you not.

Sadly, the play appeared just as the situation in Afghanistan started going downhill. As America’s attention was distracted from Afghanistan by the Iraq war, the Taliban regrouped.

Armed and trained by Pakistan, they began attacking inside Afghanistan again.

“In 2005 things looked bright, but after 2006 suicide

bombers came back,“ says Omar. “People thought the Americans and NATO would stop this, but things got worse and people lost hope.

Families would be afraid to come out to see a play today.”

Yet, the bigger story that emerges from this book — and from the rapturous reception the play received in its handful of performances — is the hunger of Afghans to emerge from decades of war and Taliban repression.

“Ordinary Afghans are thirsty for knowledge,” says Omar. Shakespeare’s themes — of men facing autocratic leaders and doomed lovers defying ethnic or tribal taboos — spoke to their yearnings for change.

Most Afghans do not want the return of the backwardness imposed by the Taliban.

Omar was scheduled to attend his book launch in London, on Shakespeare’s birthday. Instead, he is in Pakistan, where he has been waiting in vain for five weeks for a British visa. (There is no British consulate in Kabul, and the Brits hold onto Afghan passports while the visa applicants are waiting.)

This indignity reminds me of how casually Westerners often treat Afghans, and how little they know of Afghan culture.

“I will sit quietly with a glass of green tea,” says Omar, “and in my own way say, ‘Happy Birthday, Malem Shakespeare.’” Read his book.

About two dozen pieces of lawn art, including wrought-iron YEARS furniture, statues, AGO and shrubbery, IN 1987 had been been recovered by police after having been stolen overnight from their owners’ lawns.

Lawrence police had found the items in the back yard of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity house, 2021 Stewart Ave., and had had the pieces hauled to a city storage garage for their owners to claim them. St. Don Dalquest of the Lawrence Police Department said that the fraternity president had denied all knowledge of the lawn ornaments, while Alpha Kappa Lambda members claimed that “unknown fraternity pledges” may have taken the statues and furniture for an upcoming party.

PUBLIC FORUM

Death with dignity To the editor: This may be the next needed and, one day in Kansas, protected human right: the right to die with dignity, for those requesting it, physician-assisted dying, an earnest choice between a patient and her/his physician in the privacy of their shared conversations.

The anguish of imposing on one’s loved ones that prolonged period of enduring the suffering and irreversible deterioration of one so well-loved, when it’s against her/his wishes should be finally eliminated, not to mention the costs to the family of those last excruciating months. Shouldn’t such compassion be among the personal choices afforded the person who is dying? It’s her life, isn’t it? Let it end with her personal wishes for a death with dignity and compassion.

Hilda Enoch, Lawrence

Triumph of will To the editor: Charles Krauthammer (Journal-World, April 28) believes that with just enough will we could have prevented the tragedies of Rwanda, Darfur — and now could stop the killing in Syria.

I know little about military strategy and supply, but I don’t see how we would have sent supplies, soldiers or Marines, weapons and vehicles into these countries with no usable road systems and little usable infrastructure. How do you destroy the weapons supply when people are hacking each other up with machetes?

Krauthammer would not be the one to inform the widow or bereaved parents that their son or daughter will come home in a body bag.

I, too, would like the president to be more straightforward about Syria. I’d rather he’d say it’s none of our business and we have no security interests there and it’s too hard.

I would add to Krauthammer’s reasons that our military is terribly overstretched, that we desperately need the money here, and that

these missions so often turn out disastrously.

President Obama is a politician, as have been all his predecessors from Gen. Washington on.

Let’s bring our troops home and keep them here.

Anne L. Haehl, Lawrence

Court support To the editor: During a heated discussion last week with friends who worried about future U.S. Supreme Court decisions that may favor support or harm to Obama-promoted laws, I was disturbed by the vitriolic criticism of the court itself.

“They favored Bush in the Florida election fiasco,” said one. “Some are too old to be on the bench,” said another. “The judges should have limited terms of seven to 10 years,” said yet another. “Poppycock,” said I. Those persons selected by the president as his choice to sit on the court must undergo a rigorous examination of their character, past decisions and comments to a congressional panel. None of the congresspeople had their character or ability so closely checked before they were elected.

Supreme Court justices are free from outside pressure. They cannot be fired or voted out of office. Even their law clerks were selected as outstanding law school graduates. So that court building is filled with experts on the Constitution and U.S. laws. Let’s support it.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 1, 1912: YEARS “Twenty-three AGO per cent of the IN 1912 high school students who graduated last spring in the state of Kansas entered college this fall according to a statement made last night by Prof. W. H. Johnson in addressing the Commercial club. There were 4,300 of these graduates and 910 of them entered college. Prof. Johnson was unable to state how many of these came to Lawrence and to Kansas University as the figures have not been given to his department as yet, but there are between 600 and 700 Freshmen in the University.”

“Two small boys suspected of having stolen two suits of clothes from the Williams Pantatorium on Sunday night were arrested last night. It is alleged that the boys hid the clothes on the river and were discovered when they came to take them away. The boys were taken before county attorney Riling this afternoon for an investigation.”

When news broke that two-year starter and leading rusher James Sims had been suspended for the first three games of the 2012 season after an arrest for OUI, people inside and outside of the Kansas University football program began to wonder what that would do to KU’s ability to run the ball.

Now, just a couple of days after a 45-0 victory in the annual spring game by the Blue squad — made up mostly of first-stringers — the answer to that question seems a little more clear and the concerns a little less severe.

Running behind the majority of KU’s likely starting offensive line, sophomores running backs Tony Pierson and Marquis Jackson rumbled for 217 yards on 17 carries.

He’s such a regular guy that it can become easy to forget just how connected John Hadl, the Kansas University athletic department’s closer with big donors, is in the football world.

Ask Hadl for his thoughts on Peyton Manning’s joining the Denver Broncos, and don’t expect to get the slant of another armchair quarterback or a studio-show host. Hadl has more connections than Forrest Gump and Zelig combined. He used to pal around with late, great actor John “The Duke” Wayne and Joe Willie Namath, the apple of the Apple. Those guys didn’t need a door man. The doors flew open on their own.

Other than Peyton Manning himself and the since-traded Tim Tebow, the principal figures in the Manning-to-Denver showstealing transaction of the year were John Elway, the Broncos’ team president, Archie Manning, the patriarch of the world’s No. 1 football family, and John Fox, the Broncos’ coach.

Naturally, Hadl is friends with all three men. Hadl was Elway’s first NFL quarterbacks coach with the Broncos.

“John Elway, in my opinion, is the best quarterback ever,” Hadl said one more time. “And he’s obviously become a good executive in the business of the NFL. He and Peyton Manning are going to get along really well.”

Hadl predicts the same of Elway and Fox. (He’s not the same John Fox as the stand-up comic who told the funniest joke I’ve ever heard at a comedy club in Los Angeles a quarter-century or so ago. It’s not appropriate for a family newspaper — or even the Internet — so you’ll have to ask me to tell it the next time we run into each other.)

“John Fox,” Hadl said, meaning the football coach, not the comic, “is a great guy. He was my secondary coach with the LA Express (of the USFL, where Hadl coached Steve Young), and he’s a great coach. You could see he had the qualities to be a head coach. He’s a hard worker, smart guy, good personality.”

Hadl has known Archie Manning for nearly 40 years, dating to when they were NFL quarterbacks and would see each other “in offseason golf tournaments, stuff like that,” according to Hadl.

“Very low-key, very humble guy,” Hadl said of Archie. “Smart guy.”

Some time after Peyton Manning signed with the Broncos, Hadl left Archie a phone message “about how great a kid I thought he was and what a great job of raising that boy Archie did.”

By the time Archie returned the call, KU had earned a spot in the Final Four. The two old friends arranged to meet at Mannings, Archie’s new restaurant in downtown New Orleans, and Manning also had Hadl out to his house.

“Archie was happy about Peyton getting with Elway,” Hadl said. “If Peyton can get the players behind him, he can take them all the way.

He’s done that, and he can do it again. It’ll be fun.”

MARQUIS JACKSON (28) HAD 10 CARRIES for 76 yards, while Tony Pierson (3) had seven carries for 141 yards in Saturday’s spring game.

emerged from the spring game with a much better feeling about his backfield.

“That was one of the reasons I wanted to get the ball to him a bunch of times today,” Weis said of Jackson, who ran 10 times for 76 yards and three touchdowns. “When I moved him there, everybody thought, ‘Well, he’s just moving him there because of the Sims incident.’ But actually, Marquis has big size and is cutting weight to be 215-218 (pounds), and was a high school running back until he was a junior when he was converted to wide receiver.”

After playing sparingly at receiver during 2011, Jackson entered the spring fighting for a spot. Weis refused to keep Jackson low on the depth chart.

Xavier transfer to set campus visits

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

College basketball notebook. ...

Former Xavier University point guard Mark Lyons, who recently said he will transfer to Kansas University, Arizona or Kentucky, is concentrating on final exams this week as he completes work on his undergraduate degree.

If the 6-foot-1 junior grad-

uates, he’ll be free to play at any college next season.

If not, he’ll have to sit out a season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules.

Lyons told zagsblog.com he’s in the process of setting up campus visits.

“I’m going into this with open eyes and see what the programs provide and see what they’ve got,” Lyons said.

Lyons, who averaged 15.1 points and 2.8 assists per

game last season, was initially recruited to Xavier by current Arizona coach Sean Miller. He said that did not make U of A the leader.

“I’m gonna do whatever my team (needs) me to do,” Lyons told Zagsblog. “Provide energy, get everybody involved and play defense.”

Lyons was suspended two games last season for his role in a brawl in a game against Cincinnati.

DETROIT (AP) — Rain is following the Kansas City Royals.

“You don’t want to wait until September, but that’s a better option than sitting here for hours trying to wait out this rain,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “You don’t want to sit here all night and still not be able to play.”

Luke Hochevar had been slated to pitch for the Royals against Tigers left-hand-

Play never started, and the game was called after a delay of about 40 minutes.

Nets introduce Brooklyn makeover NEW YORK (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets are open for business.

The team’s formal attire will be black and white.

The Nets began settling into their new neighborhood Monday, unveiling new colors and logos at a sporting goods store on Flatbush Avenue, across the street from its soon-to-be-completed home arena, the $1 billion Barclays Center. “Hello Brooklyn,’� center Brook Lopez said. “I’ve been waiting a long time to say that.

It’s very exciting.�

Lopez was joined by coach Avery Johnson, General Manager Billy King, Bruce Ratner, the real estate developer and minority owner who was the catalyst behind the team’s relocation, and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. “Today is a great day for Brooklyn It’s been one decade, 10 years, since I started discussing this with Marty. It’s taken 10 years, but they are officially the Brooklyn Nets,� said Ratner, who faced both legal and political resistance to the building of the arena and the relocation of the team he bought in 2004. “Ladies and gentleman, the curse of O’Malley is officially over today.�

BROOKLYN NETS BASKETBALL PLAYER BROOK LOPEZ TRIES ON a hat with the new Nets’ logo during a news conference on Monday in the Brooklyn borough of New York.

The O’Malley family controlled the Dodgers from 195098 and moved the team from Brooklyn to Los Angeles after the 1957 season.

The Nets, who have been playing in New Jersey since 1977, are leaving their red, white and blue look behind as they move across the Hudson River. The Nets will be the only team in the NBA with

black and white as its only primary colors.

Adam Silver, NBA deputy commissioner, said the league has been trying to steer teams toward emphasizing their traditional primary colors instead of black, which many teams use for an alternative jersey, to make them more easily identifiable on television. But it had no problem

with the choice of black and white for the Nets. “We agreed with the Nets that this color scheme made sense for this market,� Silver said.

The team’s shield logo has Nets spelled out above a basketball with a block B on it. Below the shield, Brooklyn is printed.

The Nets say the logo and color scheme were designed by minority owner Jay-Z and inspired by the New York City Transit Authority subway signs from 1957.

The Nets are hoping the move to Brooklyn will also bring a change of fortune for a franchise that has mostly toiled in the shadow of the New York Knicks. The Nets have never won an NBA title, though they went to the finals twice with Jason Kidd in 2002 and ‘03, and have not made the playoffs since 2007.

Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov bought the Nets in 2009, knowing that a move to Brooklyn was coming.

The team moved out of its longtime home arena at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, N.J., after losing 70 games in the 2009-10 season. The team has spent the past two years playing at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

Team USA facing tough path in London

By Brian Mahoney Associated Press Basketball Writer

The way things have been going, Americans should have expected a tough road back to Olympic men’s basketball gold. “It’s been that kind of a year,�

USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said.

The U.S., reeling from major injuries to NBA stars Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose, was placed into what appears to be the more difficult group Monday during the draw for the London Games in Rio de Janeiro.

The defending champions face powerful Argentina, France and Tunisia in Group A, plus two more teams from a lastchance qualifying tournament in Venezuela in July. Solid European squads such as Lithuania, Russia and Greece — the last team to beat the USA squad — are favorites to grab those spots.

Argentina, the 2004 gold and ‘08 bronze medalist, will have Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola back. The resurgent French were the European runners-up last year behind San Antonio point guard Tony Parker. Tunisia earned its first Olympic berth by beating Angola last year for the African championship. The Tunisians trailed the Americans by only four points in the third quarter at the world championship two years ago, before the U.S. pulled away for a 92-57 victory. “It appears that our group, Group A, is going to be extremely competitive,�

U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement. “It’s a tough draw with a former Olympic champion in Argentina; France is another powerful team, a veteran team that is extremely talented; Tunisia continues to improve, and then our group will add the top two teams from the FIBA World Qualifying Tournament.

In the Olympics you only have 12 countries qualify so you’re going to have tough draws, and that’s why winning a gold medal is such a great accomplishment.�

Spain, the 2008 silver medalist, heads Group B, which includes Australia, Brazil, China and Britain. One qualifier from Venezuela will join them. “The one thing you know is you’ve got to beat them all. To win it, you’ve got to beat everybody,� Colangelo said.

The top four teams in each pool advance to the quarterfinals.

HOUSTON — Overlooked again, Case Keenum will start his NFL career close to where he proved his skeptics wrong in college.

The record-setting Houston quarterback said Monday that he will sign as an undrafted free agent with the Texans, the team he was hoping would give him his shot. “It’s really unbelievable,� Keenum said Monday on the Houston campus. “I’m extremely excited for so many reasons.�

Keenum was disappointed that he wasn’t drafted. But when the Texans called on Saturday night, he immediately related it to his transition from high school to college.

Houston was the only school Keenum that offered him a scholarship after a stellar career at Wylie High School in Abilene. Keenum rewarded Houston’s faith by becoming the Football Bowl Subdivision’s career leader in yards passing (19,217) and touchdown passes (155), and he’s the only FBS quarterback to throw for more than 5,000 yards in three different seasons. “That’s just kind of part of my identity,�

Keenum said. “Coming out of high school, I had one scholarship offer. I said that before the draft that all I need is one chance, and I got my one chance here, with a great organization and great coaches.�

The Texans were down to third-string quarterback T.J. Yates by the end of last season. They still finished 10-6, won their division and earned their first playoff berth. Matt Leinart, last year’s backup until he broke his collarbone, is expected to sign with Oakland.

Matt Schaub said recently that he’s almost fully recovered from a broken right foot, and Yates will be the backup in 2012. Schaub called Keenum on Saturday night to welcome him into the mix.

Knicks’ Lin closer to return MIAMI — Jeremy Lin took part in another practice with the New York Knicks on Monday, and the team says it hopes to know more later this week about when the guard might be able to return to the lineup.

Lin participated in the team’s gameday shootaround before its playoff match-up with the Heat, the fourth straight day that Lin did some on-court work in Miami.

The guard who was the biggest story in the NBA after putting up big numbers in February had surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee four weeks ago.

Bobcats boot coach Silas CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Paul Silas is out as the Charlotte Bobcats’ coach after the worst season in NBA history.

Silas just completed the final year of his contract and the decision was made not to bring him back after Charlotte finished 7-59 for the worst winning percentage in league history (.106). “We have been talking internally about what is best for us going forward,� Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins said at a news conference Monday. “The record speaks for itself. When you look at the youthfulness of this roster, we just all felt collectively that change was something we wanted to do at this time.�

The 68-year-old Silas, who told The Associated Press late in the year he wanted to “see things through� and coach one more season, said Monday he found out earlier in the day he would not be brought back.

Lakers’ Hill charged with assault HOUSTON — Los Angeles Lakers forward Jordan Hill faces a felony assault charge after an incident with his girlfriend in Houston.

Hill is charged with allegedly shoving and choking 28-year-old Darlene Luna, about 1 p.m. on Feb. 29 at his Houston apartment. Luna told police that the two had been dating for about two years. He was charged by Harris County prosecutors in March.

The 6-foot-10 Hill played for Houston from February 2010 to March 2012, when he was traded to Los Angeles for point guard Derek Fisher. Hill was a first-round pick in the 2009 draft by New York. He played in 32 games for the Rockets last season.

Hill scored 10 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the Lakers’ 103-88 win over Denver in the opener of their playoff series. He has a court appearance scheduled for today in Houston.

good-looking, physical kid saying, ‘He looks like a running back. He doesn’t look like a wide receiver,’” Weis recalled. “I sat down and talked to him. I said, ‘You played running back.’ He said, ‘Yeah, I was a running back.’ I said, ‘Good, because you’re a running back again.’”

He was a pretty good one Saturday. Jackson, who received the carries when Pierson sat, ran with patience, confidence and good vision throughout the afternoon. He also scored three touchdowns, which gave Weis even more to think about.

“He seemed to make a fairly smooth transition,” Weis said. “The only thing I’m going to have to decide is what weight I want him. He is a tweener halfback, but he also could be a fullback. He could very easily be 230 with a couple of cheeseburgers. You could see he’s got some natural running instincts.

He’s a physical presence.

I thought he ran the ball hard downhill.”

While Pierson and Jackson highlighted KU’s rushing attack last Saturday, Sims also played. He finished with an admirable 4.1 yards-per-carry average (14 carries, 58 yards) while running behind the second-string offensive line. Still, with sophomore Brandon Bourbon, who sat out Saturday while still recovering from last season’s leg injury, and newcomers Taylor Cox and Tevin Shaw in the mix, the KU backfield is crowded with quality options, and Weis knows it.

“I think we will be fine at running back,” he said.

Turner to SMU?: New SMU coach Larry Brown is about to land high-profile transfer Josiah Turner, Zagsblog reports.

“Josiah will land at SMU as long as the recent arrest (suspicion of DUI) doesn’t turn coach Brown and others off at the University,” a source told SNY. tv. Turner, who chose Arizona over KU and others, was suspended two times last season for violations of team rules.

He did not make his visit to St. John’s last weekend as originally planned.

CBSsports.com’s Jeff Goodman says Turner will visit SMU on Wednesday.

Harris to visit KU, Florida: Damontre Harris, a 6-9, 215-pound sophomore who has said he will transfer from South Carolina to KU, Florida, VCU or Marquette, told the Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer he plans to visit KU and Florida in coming weeks.

However, according to Carey Rich of 560theteam. com, Harris may be reconsidering his decision to leave SC and may play for former Kansas State coach Frank Martin after all.

Harris averaged 6.8 points and 5.5 boards per game a year ago.

Barnstorming: KU basketball’s annual Barnstorming Tour continues, with exhibition games at Humboldt High on Friday (6 p.m. autographs, game to follow), Pratt High (5 p.m., autographs) on Saturday and Colby High (3 p.m., autographs) on Sunday.

There will be a final Barnstorming game held on May 12 at a yet-tobe-determined time and place — somewhere in the Kansas City area. KU senior Tyshawn Taylor will join seniors Jordan Juenemann and Conner Teahan in that final game. He’s preparing for the NBA Draft and will not be playing this weekend.

Lewis resigns LHS golf post

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

John Young/Journal-World File Photo

MIKE LEWIS CALLS A PLAY IN THIS PHOTO from Lawrence High’s basketball game Feb. 21 at Shawnee Mission North. Lewis resigned his job as the Lions’ girls golf coach, but he’ll continue to coach LHS boys basketball.

The past 12 years, Mike Lewis has coached one sport or another in the fall, winter and spring seasons.

With his growing children getting involved in more activities and his wanting to spend more time with his family, Lewis decided it was time to give up one of his coaching jobs.

After 11 years with the program, Lewis resigned as head girls golf coach at Lawrence High. He will remain head boys basketball coach at LHS, as well as an assistant boys track coach at Southwest Middle School.

“It was a tough decision, but it was easy, in a way, when it comes to my family,” Lewis said.

Lawrence’s girls golf team finished ninth at the Class 6A state tournament this past fall, and Lewis

said the golfers made progress the past few seasons.

“I had to get rid of one sport, and I hated to do it,” he said. “It’s a good group of girls, and they’ve got a chance to be a really good golf team next year.”

Lewis said he is excited to have the fall off to “be a dad,” and he will have a little extra time to get ready for the Lions’ basketball season.

“With my focus on basketball this coming fall, it will be nice to get in the gym with the guys a little bit more,” Lewis said. “I’ve got plans for a few other things, basketball-related, that I’m looking forward to. It’ll be fun.”

LHS athletic director Ron Commons said he understood why Lewis would want to give up one of his coaching jobs.

“We want to thank coach Lewis for his dedication,” Commons said.

Two Firebirds set school records at Seaman J-W Staff Reports

TOPEKA — Free State teammates Kain Anderson and Khadijah Lane set school records and the Firebirds’ girls team placed first on Monday at the Topeka Seaman Relays.

going to be a chance of getting this one in,” Yost said. “There was just way too much rain.”

The Royals had won three in a row before Saturday’s game in Minnesota was postponed, but Yost doesn’t think the lack of action has hurt his team’s momentum. Kansas City lost to the Twins 7-4 on Sunday.

“These guys are in here ready and raring to go,” he said. “Obviously, they want to play baseball, but when you get to this level, you are used to things like this happening.”

The rainout could help both teams on the mound.

The Royals will pitch Hochevar and Jonathan Sanchez in Detroit, then have Danny Duffy and Bruce Chen ready to start the first two games of a home series against the New York Yankees this week. That would allow Kansas City to skip struggling Luis Mendoza.

“It will help us a little,” Yost said. “We go Hoch, Sanchez and Duffy, and then we can still use Bruce on his regular day if we want to do that.”

The Tigers, already facing a shortage in the bullpen, were going to start Below against the Royals. The rainout not only gives Detroit’s overworked relievers an extra day off, it lets manager Jim Leyland return Below to his preferred role of long relief.

Doug Fister (strained ribcage) is scheduled for a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo, and the Tigers hope he’ll be ready to pitch the next

The nine are: Martha Belot, Lawrence (Free State High); Olivia Cowan, Basehor (Basehor-Linwood); Kelsey Dick, Wichita (Andover); Maggie Duncan, Mississauga, Ontario (Lorne Park Secondary); Gabrielle Hacker, Lansing; Brieannon Mingus, Lawrence (Free State); Jessica Scheer, Colwich (Andale); Tessa Scott, De Soto; Brittany Simek, Leavenworth (Immaculata).

Anderson set his record when he won the meet’s 1600 meter race in 4:16.70 — the fastest time in the state of Kansas this season. He also topped the 800 meter run. Lane’s record came in the 400 meter dash, which she won in a minute flat.

The Free State boys team placed fifth.

Lawrence High’s boys team tied for sixth place as a team. The Lions girls squad took 10th place at the meet, which was rescheduled from Friday.

“If everything goes well on Wednesday, and I obviously don’t know if it will, Fister would start next Monday in Seattle,” Leyland said. “That’s what we are hoping will happen.”

The Tigers’ clubhouse was a fairly gloomy place for much of Monday afternoon, with the team having lost eight of 10 and Delmon Young waiting for news on his punishment for Friday’s trouble in New York.

The outfielder was suspended by Major League Baseball for seven days without pay following his arrest on a hate crime harassment charge last week.

The commissioner’s office said the suspension is retroactive to Friday, when Young was arrested after a late-night tussle at his hotel during which police

say he yelled anti-Semitic epithets.

But things immediately brightened up when injured designated hitter Victor Martinez limped into the Detroit clubhouse. Martinez, expected to miss most of the season after injuring his knee during offseason workouts, hadn’t been to Comerica Park yet this year.

“It is really great to be back here,” he said. “I can’t tell you how much I miss this.”

Martinez’s arrival seemed to energize his smiling teammates.

“It feels good to be able to walk back in here and be with these guys. No one else understands how special this is,” Martinez said. “Now that I got rid of my crutches — well, I still have them, but I’m going to make a fire with them — I’ll be here more often.”

place finishers included Scout Weibe (javelin) and Bailey Sullivan (1600 and 800).

The Firebirds will compete next on Friday at the Shawnee Mission North Relays.

Rays 3, Mariners 2, 12 Innings ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Elliot Johnson hit an RBI single with one out in the 12th inning, giving Tampa Bay a comeback victory over Seattle.

Playing before a crowd of just 9,458 — the smallest at Tropicana Field since September 2007 — the Rays twice rallied from one-run deficits before winning it against Brandon League (0-2), who failed to hold a 2-1 lead the Mariners took on Jesus Montero’s homer in the 11th.

J.P. Howell (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the win. B.J. Upton’s RBI single in the 11th wiped out the short-lived lead the Mariners took on Montero’s homer off Wade Davis.

NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Rare power surge lifts Pirates The Associated Press

Pirates 9, Braves 3 ATLANTA — Pedro Alvarez and Yamaico Navarro each hit two-run homers, and Pittsburgh enjoyed a long-awaited offensive breakthrough as it beat Atlanta on Monday night.

The Pirates, last in the major leagues with 58 runs in 22 games, almost doubled their previous season high of five runs.

Neil Walker had three hits and drove in a run.

It took the Pirates 22 games this season to score more than five runs. That was the longest streak since the 1972 Milwaukee Brewers went a major league-record 31 games into the season without surpassing five runs, according STATS LLC. The last National League team with a longer streak was the 1919 Boston Braves, who went an NL-record 23 games into the season without topping five runs.

James McDonald (1-1) set a career high with 10 strikeouts as he improved to 3-0 in six career appearances against the Braves.

Navarro homered off Mike Minor (2-2) in the sixth.

ing, two-run double in the eighth inning to lift the Phillies over the Cubs.

Bryan LaHair hit a tying, two-run homer off Chad Qualls (1-0) in the eighth after Vance Worley threw seven impressive innings for Philadelphia.

But the Phillies answered in the bottom half. Scott Maine (0-1) hit pinch-hitter Juan Pierre with a one-out pitch and Jimmy Rollins singled off Rafael Dolis with two outs.

Polanco, who had just two RBIs in his first 71 atbats, drove in two with a hard liner to the wall in left.

THE KNICKS’ AMARE STOUDEMIRE (1) SHOOTS as Miami’s LeBron James defends in the second half in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs on Monday in Miami. The Heat defeated the Knicks, 104-94.

Heat, fire extinguisher beat up Knicks, Amare Heat 104, Knicks 94 MIAMI — Drops of blood stained the carpet leading up to the back entrance of the New York Knicks’ locker room. The glass portion of a nearby fireextinguisher case was quickly replaced. And Amare Stoudemire needed doctors and paramedics to treat a cut on his left hand.

Game 2 probably wasn’t all the Knicks lost in Miami on Monday night.

Stoudemire left the building with his arm in a sling and what appeared to be a bulky wrap over his left hand, long after the Heat took control of the teams’ Eastern Conference first-round series with a 104-94 win over the Knicks, going up 2-0.

It resumes Thursday in New York, and although the Knicks were saying nothing for certain, it seems most unlikely that Stoudemire would be able to play.

“I am so mad at myself right now, I want to apologize to the fans and my team, not proud of my actions, headed home for a new start,” Stoudemire wrote on Twitter after the Knicks left the arena.

Knicks center Tyson Chandler said he did not expect Stoudemire to play Game 3. An update from the Knicks said, “Extent of injury is unknown at this time.”

Dwyane Wade scored 25 points, Chris Bosh added 21, and LeBron James finished with 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the Heat, but their night was completely overshadowed by whatever went on with Stoudemire in the hallway that’s just a few steps from the edge of the court.

“You never want to hear anyone gets hurt,” Wade said. “Hopefully he gets better. We want all their guns on the court.”

Everything the Heat did seemed like old news quickly after the game, when all anyone really wanted to talk about was what was going on in the Knicks locker room.

Miami-Dade paramedics — who staff every game — were summoned while reporters were kept outside much longer than the typical 10-minute coolingoff period.

“We’re all frustrated,” Chandler said.

Stoudemire declined to say anything when he walked out of the shower area in the locker room, one towel around his waist, another shielding his left hand, which he held elevated as he slipped into

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 45 years. We both grew up in this small Midwestern town. Until 10 years back, I thought it was a good marriage.

The problem began when I found out some things that happened during our high school years.

Through discussions with other classmates and conversations with friends, it became evident that there’s a lot I didn’t know about my wife.

However, from our very first discussion about these incidents, she said this was none of my business, it’s in the past, and she shouldn’t have to answer any of my questions. But, Annie, some of what was revealed is hard to forget.

I have sought counseling for this, and it has helped to some degree.

My question now is: Am I in the wrong to want some kind of explanation or discussion of this

information? Is a spouse in such circumstances required to clear the air?

I don’t need every detail, but shouldn’t I have enough to settle my anxiety? — Surprised Husband Dear Surprised: To your wife, these incidents are ancient history, and she’d like to forget about them. But you insist on picking the scabs off of her teenage scars because to you these incidents are fairly recent and you are still absorbing their impact. As far as she’s concerned, the explanation

‘Uprising’ revisits L.A. riots Snoop Dogg narrates “Uprising: Hip-Hop & the LA Riots” (8 p.m., VH1). The documentary recalls the civil unrest that rocked Los Angeles in late April 1992, leaving 53 people dead and countless businesses looted and burned. ‘‘Uprising” revisits the rage that accompanied the telecast of amateur video footage showing Los Angeles police officers beating a black man named Rodney King, and the incendiary violence that followed the officers’ acquittal.

Featuring interviews with musicians and ordinary citizens caught up in the violent frenzy, the film discusses how the popular “gangsta” rap of the period all but predicted the street chaos and became a virtual soundtrack to the unfolding calamity.

The King video marked a real turning point in media. For decades, dating at least to the 1949 publication of George Orwell’s novel “1984,” people had focused on the government’s use of surveillance cameras to control and pacify the population. The King video showed how ordinary people could monitor the authorities and shine a spotlight on injustice and abuse. The proliferation of video cameras and phone cameras in the last two decades has accelerated this trend, enabling people all over the world to watch street uprisings in Iran in 2009, the uprising in Egypt in early 2011 and the ongoing rebellion in Syria. Ubiquitous cameras have not banished tyrannical regimes or ended police brutality.

But they have made it harder to hide or deny abuses.

Tonight’s other highlights

Rachel and Kurt make their big-city tryout on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox).

“American Experience” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) profiles black American track star Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. It was quite a statement at a spectacle designed to showcase Hitler’s belief in the invincible superiority of the socalled Aryan race.

A virus looms on a “Hawaii Five-O” crossover episode of “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS).

Fears of romantic retreat on “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox).

“Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents part two of “Money, Power and Wall Street,” a survey history of the economic collapse of 2008.

Suspicion abounds when Carrie’s oldest foe becomes a victim on “Unforgettable” (9 p.m., CBS).

An illegal immigrant facing deportation wants to give birth in the United States on “Private Practice” (9 p.m., ABC).

is simple: She was young and made mistakes. She grew up and changed her life.

We understand that you’d like more of an explanation, but she absolutely does not want to rehash her life before she married you. Unless something she did then has consequences that require action now, please accept that she is not that person any longer, and apparently, all for the good. Whatever it was she did, please find a way to forgive her and let it go.

Dear Annie: My wife and I have a small group of friends with whom we do something fun as a group every week or so. The problem is, we are the only ones who initiate this time together. If my wife and I don’t plan or host it, we sometimes won’t hear from these people for a month or more.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, May 1: This year, your ingenuity seems to bypass problems. Be direct and get past any confusion or vagueness. If you are single, know that something better lies ahead. If you are attached, be more understanding of your sweetie’s shortcomings.

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) Your focused energy will make all the difference in the outcome of a situation. You could be overburdened by responsibilities. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) When answers do not appear, tap into your imagination.

You will gain a totally different perspective. Tonight: Let off some steam.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could find that a domestic issue or unexpected problem within the family could keep you preoccupied. Perhaps you need to deal with it rather than let the dilemma dominate the rest of your day. Tonight: Be where your thoughts are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You mean what you say, and you are willing to act on your words. To convince someone, you might have to demonstrate this assertive quality. Tonight: Swap the day’s war stories with a pal.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Confusion surrounds a money matter. You could be stressed because you feel as if you need to find a solution. Don’t. Tonight: Be aware of your budget.

often hear about the fun things they did without us during this time.

We are tired of feeling left out and unimportant. Aside from finding new friends, we are at a loss. — Frustrated with Friends in South Dakota Dear South Dakota: Are those “fun things” planned by others?

Your friends could be the type of people who need to be organized by those willing to put forth the effort. And if they are arranging and hosting events and not including you, they are users who are happy to eat your food and share your plans, but have no intention of reciprocating. Most people fall somewhere in between.

They aren’t trying to be rude. They simply aren’t paying attention.

Your situation is in the category of “nothing to lose.” Take one of these so-called friends aside and ask what’s going on.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your questions show understanding but also unwillingness to be taken for a ride. With so much going on, you’ll need to sort out your priorities. Tonight: As you like it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Deal with anger before it deals with you. Go find the person involved or define the situation. Tonight: You are your best company.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Having determined what you want from the current state of affairs, feel free to walk right in and a handle a situation.

Someone might be irritated or taken aback. Tonight: Among the crowd.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Stand up for what you want, but do not be surprised if you get some flak. Let go of needing others’ approval. Tonight: A must appearance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out for more information. You could become sarcastic or irritable if you do not find what you are looking for. Tonight: Off to a movie.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal directly with a child or loved one. In a business, financial or community matter, you are better off being authentic.

Tonight: Dinner with a pal.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Someone could be a bit too combative and argumentative for your taste. Take a detour until this phase passes. Tonight: Just not by yourself.
