Officials still waiting for rec center cost numbers structure projects for less than half what city officials had expected.

But when it comes to Lawrence’s new $25 million recreation center, city officials won’t find out how hungry.

The city is set to receive bids for the building portion

The companies that make a living building roads, burying sewers and paving parking lots have been hungry for work in recent weeks, in some cases bidding infra-

Instead, a firm led by

Lawrence developer Thomas Fritzel is building those pieces of the project through a no-bid arrangement with Kansas University entities and the city.

But the Journal-World has confirmed that even though Fritzel’s firm has begun

work on the site, he hasn’t yet provided the city with a firm quote on how much it will cost the city to build the infrastructure.

City officials, though, are still scheduled to go forward Please see CENTER, page 2A

LAWRENCE RESIDENT CHARLES JONES is greeted by a 2-year-old potbellied pig named Starky on a walk Monday through downtown with his owner, Ehren Penix. When asked about his reaction to seeing the pig, Jones said, “It’s the first time I’ve ever seen anybody walk a pig. You know, but he’s friendly and goes about his business.� In mid-January of 2012 the Lawrence City Commission agreed to allow potbellied pigs as a pet under the city code. Penix says that he brings Starky downtown to socialize and meet people when the weather is nice.

Friends and family of the four victims killed in rural Ottawa last week packed a Franklin County courtroom Monday afternoon to see the man accused of the killings appear for a hearing.

Flanked by four officers, Kyle T. Flack, charged with four counts of murder, appeared in Franklin County District Court with his attorney, Ron Evans, head of the Kansas Death Penalty Defense Unit in Topeka.

Among the charges filed against Flack last week were two counts of capital murder, which means he could face the death penalty.

No pleas were entered in Monday’s hearing, and no arguments were made by the attorneys. It was one of several legal proceedings that will take months to complete before the case goes to trial or is resolved, officials said.

Another court date was set for July 8 at 1:15 p.m., when attorneys will schedule a preliminary hearing for the state to present evidence that Flack should stand trial.

Flack is accused of killing

Lana-Leigh’s body was found late Saturday in rural Osage County, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, which said the body had been moved there from the Ottawa house. The three adults’ bodies were discovered on May 6 and 7. Prosecutors have said they believe White

The Kansas State Board of Education might consider challenging a new law that would allow as many as 29 school districts to exempt themselves from a multitude of state laws and regulations.

Kansas Education Commissioner Diane DeBacker said the board might vote to seek an attorney general’s opinion clarifying parts of the law, or it might consider ways to challenge the law in court.

DeBacker is scheduled to SCHOOLS give an update on details of the new law when the state board meets today in Topeka. “We may ask for somebody outside all of us to give us an opinion about who can waive (rules) and say ‘yes’ or ‘no,’� DeBacker said.

House Bill 2319, known as the Coalition of Innovative Districts Act, was signed into law

KYLE FLACK IS LED Monday to the Franklin County Courthouse in Ottawa. Flack is being charged in the deaths of four people, including an 18-month-old child.

18-month-old Lana-Leigh Bailey; her mother, Kaylie Kathleen Bailey, 21, of Olathe; Bailey’s boyfriend, Andrew Adam Stout, 30, of Ottawa; and Steven Eugene White, 31, of Ottawa. Franklin County prosecutors have said they believe Flack shot the four to death at a house on Georgia Road, about five miles west of Ottawa.

If city officials don’t want licensed individuals bringing concealed weapons into City Hall and other public buildings, they likely will have to come up with more than $100,000 a year in additional security services.

But before city officials start buying metal detectors and hiring additional police officers, they hope to first buy a little extra time.

Commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting will be asked to file a request for an exemption from the state’s new concealed carry Schumm law until at least Jan. 1, in order to give staff members more time to study how to comply with the recently-approved law. “But we’re talking about a very, very expensive situation here,� City Commissioner Bob Schumm said.

was killed in late April, while the other three victims were killed together sometime between April 28 and May 6.

After the hearing, family members of the victims exchanged condolences with each other. Among them were Carla Fisher, mother of White, and relatives of Bailey and her daughter Lana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It did do me some good to see the other families,â&#x20AC;?

Fisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That helped.â&#x20AC;?

Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know yet.â&#x20AC;?

On Monday, the Stouts sent a family friend to represent them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad day,â&#x20AC;? Mark Graham

said. Seeing Flack for the first time in court, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;made it all real.â&#x20AC;?

Franklin County Sheriff Jeff Richards said the investigation still is ongoing and the court case wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be resolved any time soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the process,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be long; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be drawn out.â&#x20AC;?

Richards also elaborated on the emotional nature of the case for investigators, especially after finding the body of LanaLeigh Bailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death is tough for people to be dealing with anyway, but when you have an 18-month-old, it takes a toll,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it came time for us to do the recovery, it became quiet and a very solemn moment for everyone out there. And it hit home with a lot of people; people just needed to leave, get home and hug their kids.â&#x20AC;?

Lawrence city officials have confirmed that a pair of key documents governing the public-private partnership to build the $25 million recreation center and adjacent Rock Chalk Park still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been finalized.

A master development agreement between the city of Lawrence, a Kansas University Endowment corporation and a private company led by Lawrence developer Thomas Fritzel hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been signed by KU Endowment officials, despite the city approving the agreement in March.

City officials also confirmed that a contract spelling out how Fritzelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bliss Sports II corporation will build the infrastructure on the site hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been completed.

Word of the unsigned documents comes as city officials are slated to receive bids on Wednesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached day to construct its $25 at 832-7173. Follow him at Twitter.com/ million recreation center shaunhittle. near the northeast corner

of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway.

The development agreement spells out how 26 acres of ground owned by the KU Endowment Corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RCP LLC will be transferred to the city for use as a recreation center site. It also spells out what costs the city is responsible for as part of the recreation center and the larger Rock Chalk Park development.

The infrastructure improvements contract is a document between KU Endowment and Fritzelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bliss Sports II that sets the terms for how Bliss will

construct the infrastructure on the site. Although the city isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required to sign the contract, it does cover infrastructure that will serve the recreation center site. City commissioners approved the master development agreement even though it references the infrastructure construction contract, which had not been drafted at the time commissioners approved the master development agreement.

City Manager David Corliss said he would recommend that city commissioners hold off on signing a contract with a

builder for the recreation center until the master development agreement is signed by all parties.

But Corliss said he expects that to happen soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;KU Endowment has told me they are nearly 99 percent complete with their review of the document,â&#x20AC;? Corliss said.

The city is scheduled to accept the bids on Wednesday and vote on a contractor at the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s May 21 meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw

Wing and a prayer

business Monday as legislators waited for signs of progress from the private meetings on taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The discussions are going well,â&#x20AC;? Brownback told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a difficult one to guess on, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get to a solution.â&#x20AC;?

The Senate approved Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposals to phase in another round of cuts in personal income tax rates over the next four years while keeping the sales tax at its current 6.3 percent rate.

A representative speaking for Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gay student community expressed full support Monday for the Lawrence school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to update the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sex education curriculum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sex education is a huge priority for our organization,â&#x20AC;? said Rachel Gadd-Nelson, of Lawrence Queer Youth Voice, a group that represents gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youths in Lawrence.

Gadd-Nelson, a Kansas University graduate and an adult organizer for the group, said one of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main activities in recent months has been conducting student-led sex education workshops, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting access to Sanburn it in schools.â&#x20AC;?

Her comments came after the school board heard a presentation about steps it would need to take to incorporate new national guidelines into the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current human sexuality curriculum.

Updating the Lawrence districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curriculum by incorporating the national standards is listed as one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;action stepsâ&#x20AC;? the board approved last year as part of its goal of improving curriculum and instruction throughout the district.

The current curriculum is built around standards that the Kansas State Board of Education adopted in 2006.

The national standards would require additional material to be taught. Among other things, it would add more information about forms of birth control other than contraception and specific material about sexual orientation.

The standards would also include more human sexuality content in the seventh- and eighth-grade health curriculum.

Board President Vanessa Sanburn said the state standards do not mandate an â&#x20AC;&#x153;abstinence-onlyâ&#x20AC;? curriculum when teaching

Brownback: Private GOP tax talks â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;going wellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Private negotiations with top legislative Republicans about tax issues are â&#x20AC;&#x153;going well,â&#x20AC;? Gov. Sam Brownback said Monday, but he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t predict when party leaders might agree on a plan to cut income taxes further.

The Republican governor declined to discuss the details of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under consideration in his talks with Senate President Susan Wagle and House Speaker Ray Merrick, other than he planned to

keep meeting with them. All three want to follow up on massive personal income tax reductions enacted last year, but the state must Brownback stabilize its budget, and Brownback has proposed canceling a decrease in the sales tax that is slated to happen in July.

Wagle, a Wichita Republican, said the differences between the two chambers have narrowed but declined

Talks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The House passed legislation to let the sales tax drop to 5.7 percent in July as planned, while making less aggressive income tax cuts.

Wagle, from Wichita, has predicted that legislators eventually will approve something close to the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation.

Merrick, from Stilwell, has said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some room for compromise, but other GOP House members have said their chamber is unlikely to allow the sales tax to stay above 6 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can guarantee that we have narrowed the gap,â&#x20AC;?

Wagle said of the discussions over the sales tax rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say the Senate has come down and the House has come up, so things are going well.â&#x20AC;?

Pressed for details, Wagle said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to give numbers.â&#x20AC;?

Brownback and GOP leaders argue that eventually phasing out personal income taxes will stimulate economic growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are different proposals that are being shopped back and forth,â&#x20AC;?

Brownback said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pieces are well-known, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just, how do you get them to fit together to make a budget and a progrowth tax position?â&#x20AC;?

Democratic leaders arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t party to the private tax talks, and their leaders have said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect any of them to vote for any compromise

signs that make it illegal for anyone, including concealed-carry permit holders, to bring a concealed weapon into the buildings.

Under the new law, governments can only post those signs if the buildings have adequate security measures, such as metal detectors and security officers.

A memo from City Attorney Toni Wheeler estimates that it will cost about $5,000 for each metal detector, plus at least $42,000 a year for a single police officer to staff the metal detector â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the Lawrence Police Department, Wheeler wrote, thinks two officers might be necessary for each detector. That would place the annual operating costs for the program at more than $84,000 for each building with a detector. And the cost could be even greater because the personnel numbers represent starting salaries and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t factor in benefit costs or other costs to equip a police officer.

Wheeler says at least three city buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City Hall, Lawrence Municipal Court and the public access area of the Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Investigations and Training Center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all warrant consideration for security systems. Beyond those three, city commissioners also would have to decide whether recreation centers and other city offices need the security measures.

Schumm said commissioners would have some tough decisions to make in coming months. He said he was very concerned about people bringing firearms into meeting rooms or the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Municipal Court, even if they do have a state-issued li-

that emerges anyway.

Democrats see last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income tax cuts as reckless and oppose the GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of shifting most of the burden of funding state government to the sales tax, which consumes a greater percentage of the incomes of the poor than it does the wealthy.

And House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat, said private talks among top GOP leaders prevent the public from weighing in on proposals. Legislative leaders previously appointed three senators and three House members to resolve tax issues, and much of their discussions would occur in public meetings.

But the appointed negotiators arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meeting.

Davis said in a statement that the private meetings â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely betray the democratic processâ&#x20AC;?

Wagle noted that private talks involving the governor and legislative leaders are common on big issues as lawmakers near the end of their annual session.

Monday was the 80th day of the Republicandominated Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual session â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the day GOP leaders previously had promised that lawmakers would finish their business for the year. Legislators typically schedule 90-day annual sessions, but this year, top Republicans planned to trim 10 days off the normal time in a show of efficiency.

Lawmakers are paid $89 a day in salary while they are in session, plus $123 to cover their daily expenses. cense to carry concealed weapons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because they have been approved to carry a gun doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we understand what may cause someone to become so upset that there is an incident,â&#x20AC;? Schumm said.

Under the law approved this session, there is language that might allow cities to receive up to four one-year exemptions from the law. The city expects to receive the exemption through 2014, but receiving the other exemptions might be more difficult because it requires cities to present a security plan for each building.

City commissioners wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the only elected officials that have to adjust to the new law. Douglas County also will have to go through the same exercise with its buildings, although it already has a metal detector for the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center. Public schools wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to install metal detectors under the new law. School officials can continue to post the â&#x20AC;&#x153;no gunâ&#x20AC;? signs on school buildings, which will make it illegal for concealed-carry permit holders to bring a weapon into the building.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Judicial-selection plan retooled TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Legislators who believe the Kansas Senate should gain the power to confirm members of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two highest courts have a new plan that they hope will get approved before lawmakers adjourn this year, an influential senator involved in drafting the measure said Monday.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeff King said the new proposal would amend the state constitution so that the Senate would vote on the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments to the state Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. He provided exclusive details to The Associated Press.

Many legislators, particularly conservative Republicans, have pushed to change the judicial selection process in recent years following Supreme Court rulings on abortion and education funding.

Currently, an attorney-led nominating commission screens applicants for each vacancy and names three finalists for the governor, who makes the appointment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with no role for legislators.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback favors a change, and many critics have argued that the current process favors wellconnected, often liberal or centrist attorneys while unfairly limiting the influence of voters through their elected officials.

Backers of the process call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;meritâ&#x20AC;? selection and say it focuses on candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience and avoids politics.

The new proposal would retain the nominating commission but change its membership so that attorneys elected by other attorneys wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a five-member majority, as they do now. Instead, the governor would

appoint five of the nine members, instead of just four.

King, an Independence Republican who also serves as Senate vice president, outlined the proposal a day before the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff was to finish drafting it. He said the proposal emerged from discussions among legislators who were hoping to find a compromise with the Kansas Bar Association, which has been wary of changing the current system.

The Bar Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board is scheduled to vote on the proposal Tuesday afternoon. King said that if the group backs the measure, lawmakers will try to get the House and Senate to approve it in the final days of their annual session so that it could go on the ballot in 2014. Lawmakers hope to wrap up their business this week.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With these new standards, I expect our district will provide clear, consistent and straightforward guidance and professional development focused on delivering sexuality education at all grade levels that is planned, simple and short, and part of a comprehensive school health approach,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Sanburn said the district would continue working on an updated curriculum document in hopes of having a final document ready for the board to vote on by June.

Until now, courses in plant science and animal science have been part of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career and technical education program.

by Gov. Sam Brownback on April 22. It sets up a process for districts to become a â&#x20AC;&#x153;public innovative districtâ&#x20AC;? and thereby opt out of most state laws and regulations for five years at a time to improve student achievement.

Those districts would still have to give annual reading and math assessments, as well as comply with health and safety laws, special education requirements and state school finance laws.

The first two innovative districts would have to be approved by the governor and the chairpersons of the House and Senate education committees. After that, applications would go through a board made up of representatives from each innovative district, and that board would have sole discretion to approve or deny future applications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many conflicting things, at least with the people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been speaking to, as to who can do what,â&#x20AC;? DeBacker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a district that might apply in order to reduce the 1,116 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be student contact hours. reached at 832-6362.

development.

The requirement for a certain number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;contact hoursâ&#x20AC;? in a school year is set out in Kansas statutes, Debacker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So who has the authority to waive that?â&#x20AC;? Debacker asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some who think the coalition board that they established is given the right to do that. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read it that way at all.â&#x20AC;?

Some observers have said the law itself might conflict with Article 6 of the Kansas Constitution, which gives the state board the power for â&#x20AC;&#x153;general supervision of public schools, educational institutions and all the educational interests of the state,â&#x20AC;? except for functions delegated to the Kansas Board of Regents, which supervises higher education.

DeBacker said that issue might come up from board members, but she said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear what direction the board might take. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would they direct their board attorney to file suit?â&#x20AC;? she asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And do you file suit before anything even happens?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where the conversation will take us.â&#x20AC;?

Lawrence school district officials have already said they were not considering taking part in the innovative districts program.

Also during todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, the state board will hear what might be its final briefing about the proposed Next Generation Science Standards before it is asked to vote on adopting them in Kansas.

Kansas was among the 26 lead states that helped develop the standards. But the state board still has to vote on whether to adopt them in Kansas.

DeBacker said that vote could come as early as next month. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259. Follow him at Twitter.com/ LJWpqhancock.

DR. JULIE WEI, PEDIATRIC OTOLARYNGOLOGIST AT KANSAS UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, HAS WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED â&#x20AC;&#x153;A HEALTHIER WAYâ&#x20AC;? that explains a simple approach to treating a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear, nose and throat problems through a combination of diet and lifestyle that cuts the need for medicine and surgery in a majority of cases. Specifically, eliminating excessive dairy and sugar intake in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diets can reduce reflux and many associated upper airway symptoms.

Doctor: Cutting dairy, sugar intake can prevent need for medicine, surgery

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

Julie Wei was a pediatric otolaryngologist, or ear, nose and throat specialist, at Kansas University Medical Center for more than 10 years when she began to see a trend she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realized I was seeing a lot of less healthy children who came for chronic congestion,â&#x20AC;? Wei said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew in my heart something was not right because the parents told me over and over, despite using these medications, the kids werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t better.â&#x20AC;?

So Wei wrote a book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Healthier Wei,â&#x20AC;? thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an explanation of why she believes children are being misdiagnosed and wrongly medicated and that shares her theory, with proven success, on how to fix these problems.

The Milk and Cookies Disease Wei knows the only reason medications donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work is because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prescribed for the wrong reasons, so in order to figure out specifics on why they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working, she knew she needed to learn more about the child. Wei started asking questions like â&#x20AC;&#x153;what does your child eat?â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;how often or at what times of day do they eat specific foods?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trained to ask that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a nutritionist.â&#x20AC;?

But Wei asked anyway, because she knew there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a cause for surgery for many of the patients coming to see her. After asking thousands of patients and their parents these same questions, she noticed a pattern: the children, es-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you eat is every bit as important as what time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Julie Wei

pecially preschool-aged kids, consumed a large amount of milk and dairy and also constantly had runny noses or seemed to be sick.

Wei started telling parents surgery or medication wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary, and what was left to solve the problem was working to change the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet and dietary habits.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the basis for what she calls the Milk and Cookies Disease.

Wei came up with the name because she met a girl who had 27 episodes of croup and would end up in the emergency room.

Wei knew the girl was too old for this to happen and asked her usual question: does she eat after dinner?

The child had chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk every night. Wei advised the family to immediately stop letting the girl have the cookies and milk after dinner, and she never had another episode again.

Why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you eat is every bit as important as what time,â&#x20AC;? Wei said.

When a child goes to sleep after having dairy, they are lying flat on their backs with the undigested milk sitting in their stomachs. The milk becomes sour, which becomes acidic and comes back up. Wei said many times the child becomes so congested they snore and wake up

snotty and sweaty.

People are often encouraged to stop giving children milk before bed because it rots their teeth, but rarely do parents learn about how it affects the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall health.

Carla Gavril, of Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summit, Mo., brought her daughter to Wei because she was having problems with snoring, constipation and throat soreness.

After making the changes suggested, including less sugar and dairy, Gavril said her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health problems were better within days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All sorts of things have improved that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even recognize as problems,â&#x20AC;? Gavril said.

Through her consultations, Wei also noticed that because children are so busy after school, dinner is now an afterthought. It is convenient to go to a drive-thru, but then the children are eating dinner that has a lot of salt, sugar and fat later in the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems to be safe but instead is causing these children problems,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Wei recommends that at dinnertime, avoid milk or sugar being a main part of the meal, and if a child must have a snack, feed them something nondairy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to be critical of other doctors,â&#x20AC;? Wei said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to see what I believe is the truth.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping other doctors will read my book because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones out there seeing these families every day; they can make a difference.â&#x20AC;?

ROME â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The latest weapon in the U.N.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fight against hunger, global warming and pollution might be flying by you right now.

Edible insects are being promoted as a low-fat, high-protein food for people, pets and livestock. According to the U.N., they come with appetizing side benefits: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and livestock pollution, creating jobs in developing countries and feeding the millions of hungry people in the world.

Some edible insect information in bite-sized form:

Many pharmaceutical companies also use colorings from insects in their pills.

Packed with protein, full of fiber Scientists who have studied the nutritional value of edible insects have found that red ants, small grasshoppers and some water beetles pack (gram-per-gram or ounceper-ounce) enough protein to rank with lean ground beef while having less fat per gram.

Bored with bran as a source of fiber in your diet?

Edible insects can oblige, and they also contain useful minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorous, selenium and zinc.

Which to choose?

Beetles and caterpillars are the most common meals among the more than 1,900 edible insect species that people eat. Other popular insect foods are bees, wasps, ants, grasshoppers, locusts and crickets. Less popular are termites and flies, according to U.N. data.

Eco-friendly Insects on average can convert 4.4 pounds of feed into 2.2 pounds of edible meat. In comparison, cattle require 17.6 pounds of feed to produce a kilogram of meat. Most insects raised for food are likely to produce fewer environmentally harmful greenhouse gases than livestock, the U.N. agency says.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swat the income Edible insects are a money-maker. In Africa, four big water bottles filled with grasshoppers can fetch a gatherer 15 euros ($20). Some caterpillars in southern Africa and weaver ant eggs in Southeast Asia are considered delicacies and command high prices.

Insect farms tend to be small, serving niche markets like fish bait businesses. But since insects thrive across a wide range of locations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from deserts to mountains â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and are highly adaptable, experts see big potential for the insect farming industry, especially those farming insects for animal feed. Most edible insects are now gathered in forests.

Philadelphia abortion doctor guilty in 3 babies’ deaths

By Maryclaire Dale Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — An abortion doctor was convicted Monday of first-degree murder and could face execution in the deaths of three babies who were delivered alive and then killed with scissors at his grimy “house of horrors” clinic.

In a case that became a grisly flashpoint in the nation’s abortion debate, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, was also found guilty of involuntary manslaugh-

ter in the overdose death of an abortion patient. He was cleared in the death of a fourth baby, who prosecutors say let out a whimper before the doctor cut the spinal cord.

Gosnell, who portrayed himself as an advocate for poor and desperate women in an impoverished West Philadelphia neighborhood, appeared hopeful before the verdict was read and calm afterward.

The jury reached its verdict on its 10th day of deliberations. It will return May 21 to hear evi-

dence on whether Gosnell should get the death penalty.

Gosnell’s attorney, Jack Mc- Gosnell Mahon, called it a “very difficult case” to defend and said there was “a little bit of feeling on the defense part of what salmon must feel swimming upstream.”

“There’s a lot of emotion. You have the baby

factor, which is a big problem. The media has been overwhelmingly against him,” he said. But noting that Gosnell was cleared on some of the charges, McMahon said the jurors “obviously took their job seriously.”

Prosecutors looked elated, but District Attorney Seth Williams declined comment until after the sentencing phase, citing a gag order.

Former clinic employees testified that Gosnell routinely performed illegal abortions past Penn-

sylvania’s 24-week limit, that he delivered babies who were still moving, whimpering or breathing, and that he and his assistants dispatched the newborns by “snipping” their spines, as he referred to it.

“Are you human?” prosecutor Ed Cameron snarled during closing arguments. “To med these women up and stick knives in the backs of babies?”

Gosnell was also convicted of infanticide, racketeering and more

than 200 counts of violating Pennsylvania’s abortion laws by performing third-term abortions or failing to counsel women 24 hours in advance. The courtroom was locked for more than 30 minutes as the verdicts were read and the jurors polled one by one.

His co-defendant, former clinic employee Eileen O’Neill, was convicted of taking part in a corrupt organization and illegally billing for her services as if she were a licensed doctor.

NEW ORLEANS POLICE OFFICERS INVESTIGATE the scene at the intersection of Frenchmen and North Villere streets on Sunday in New Orleans after gunfire at a Mother’s Day parade.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A fundraising push by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is drawing criticism from a key Senate Republican who questions whether she has a conflict of interest.

HHS spokesman Jason Young confirmed that Sebelius in recent weeks has asked various charitable foundations, businesses executives, churches and

doctors to donate money to nonprofit organizations, such as Enroll America, that are helping to implement President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

Young said there was a special section within the Public Health Services Act that allows the HHS secretary to solicit financial support for nonprofit organizations conducting public health work. He said

most of the solicitations have occurred through telephone calls, but in some speeches Sebelius as well.

“For the last several months, the secretary has been working with a full range of stakeholders who share in the mission of get-

ting Americans the help they need and deserve,” Young said. “We have always worked with outside groups and the efforts now ramping up are just one more part of that work.”

The fundraising pitches were first reported by the Washington Post. Young said Sebelius made no fundraising request of entities regulated by HHS, such as drug companies, hospitals or insurers.

IRS, Benghazi issues put Obama on defensive ________________

President dismisses GOP attention on Libya controversy as a ‘sideshow’

By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama tried to swat down a pair of brewing controversies Monday, denouncing as “outrageous” the targeting of conservative political groups by the federal IRS but angrily denying any administration coverup after last year’s deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Simultaneous investigations — and demands

by Republicans for more — have put the White House on the defensive, emboldened GOP lawmakers and threatened to overtake a second-term Obama agenda already off to a rocky start.

During a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, the normally even-keeled Obama appeared agitated over the resurgent investigation into the September attack at a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi.

He dismissed the Republican-driven effort as a “sideshow” that dishonors the four Americans who were killed, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

“There’s no therethere,” Obama declared in his first public comments since GOP lawmakers launched new hearings on the matter.

“The fact that this keeps on getting churned up, frankly, has a whole lot to do with political motiva-

Psychologist Joyce Brothers dead at 85 Joyce Brothers, the pop psychologist who pioneered the television advice show in the 1950s and enjoyed a prolific career as a syndicated columnist, author, and television and film personality, has died.

Brothers, 85, died Monday of respiratory failure in New York City.

She first gained fame on a game show and went on to publish 15 books and make cameo appearances on TV shows including “Happy Days” and “The Simpsons.”

She visited Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show” nearly 100 times.

In 1955, Brothers appeared on “The $64,000 Question,” which quizzed contestants in their chosen area of expertise. She memorized 20 volumes of a boxing encyclopedia and, with that as her subject, became the only woman to win the show’s top prize.

Seeking to keep another controversy from spinning out of control, the president rebuked the IRS for scrutinizing the tax-exempt status of groups with conservative titles such as “Tea Party” or “Patriot” in their names. Those responsible, Obama said, must be held “fully accountable.”

“I’ve got no patience with it,” he added. “I will not tolerate it, and we will find out exactly what happened.”

The president said he first learned of the matter Friday when it was reported by news organizations.

Spokesman Jay Carney said later that

the White House counsel’s office was alerted on April 22 that the IRS inspector general was completing a review of an IRS office in Cincinnati.

Neither issue appears to be going away any time soon. On Monday, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, asked authors of an independent government review into the Benghazi attack to meet privately with committee investigators. And the House Ways and Means Committee said it planned to hold a hearing on the IRS matter on Friday.

The two controversies

<¨æ -Aö ¨Ï : AÝ <¨æ mÝ

are the latest in a series of unexpected challenges that have consumed the White House since Obama began his second term in January. Among the others: the Boston Marathon bombings, Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons and fresh nuclear provocations from North Korea.

It’s hardly the start Obama’s team envisioned after he solidly won reelection in November.

The White House had hoped to achieve an early victory on immigration overhaul, make another run at a sweeping deficit reduction deal and perhaps take a stab at tackling climate change. éĜÑ

Deadly car bomb hits civilian area in Benghazi

By Aya Batrawy and Esam Mohamed Associated Press

TRIPOLI, LIBYA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A deadly car bomb exploded Monday near a hospital in a busy area packed with civilians in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, destroying part of the facility, officials said.

Officials gave conflicting casualty figures, with death tolls ranging from three to 10 in the chaotic aftermath of the attack.

Benghazi, which was the birthplace of the revolution that led to the ouster of dictator Moammar Gadhafi, has suffered a se-

ries of assassinations and other attacks, including the Sept. 11 assaults on the U.S. diplomatic mission that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

The oil-rich North African nation is still largely dominated by militias, many including fighters who battled Gadhafiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forces during the 2011 civil war, and many attacks are blamed on them as infighting is rampant in the battle for control.

But witnesses and analysts said Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explosion stood out because it struck during the day in a crowded area, putting ci-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

The bombing is significant in that it is the first that targets civilians.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Frederic Wehrey, of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace vilians at risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bombing is significant in that it is the first that targets civilians,â&#x20AC;?

Frederic Wehrey, of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bombing is going to put renewed pressure

on an already embattled Ministry of Interior to reign in the revolutionary brigades,â&#x20AC;? he added, referring to militias.

The blast took place on Beirut Street, a residential and shopping area in Libyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest city and quickly drew protesters to the streets to call for stronger security measures. Other vehicles on the street were destroyed, and the windows of nearby buildings were shattered.

Jalaa hospital, just a few hundred yards away from the explosion, had been protected for months by Ansar al-Sharia, an ex-

tremist group that disbanded its work as a militia following protests by Benghazi residents after the attack on Stevens. The hospital is now secured by a mix of militias and special army forces.

Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zidan acknowledged the government was in part to blame for the instability and lawlessness that continue to plague the North African nation 19 months after Gadhafi was captured and killed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Authorities did not take adequate precautions,â&#x20AC;? he said in remarks carried live on Libyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alAhrar TV channel.

Attacks on mosques fuel fears of sectarian violence in Iraq

By Sameer N. Yacoub Associated Press

BAGHDAD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A sharp rise in attacks on Sunni holy sites in Iraq is feeding fears that the country could spiral into a new round of sectarian violence similar to the bloodletting that brought Iraq to its knees in 2006 and 2007.

Majority Shiites control the levers of power in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq. Wishing to rebuild the nation rather than revert to open warfare, they have largely restrained their militias over the past five years or so as Sunni extremist groups such as al-Qaida have targeted them with occasional large-scale attacks.

That might now have changed.

If it turns out that Iranian-backed Shiite militias are responsible for the recent attacks on Sunnis, it could signal a turn toward cyclical retaliatory violence.

At least 29 Sunni mosques were attacked between mid-April and

early May, according to Mahmoud al-Sumaidaie, the deputy head of Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunni Endowment, which oversees the sectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holy sites. At least 65 Sunni worshippers were killed, according to a tally compiled by The Associated Press from police reports.

By contrast, two Shiite mosques were hit in bombings that killed one person over the same period, police and hospital officials said. Dozens of Shiites were killed in attacks by Sunni extremists at places other than holy sites during this time.

In all of 2012, there were only 10 recorded attacks on Sunni holy sites, al-Sumaidaie said.

In a sign of increasing fears by the Shiite-led government that the country might be descending into sectarian strife, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned last week that terrorists and extremist groups are taking advantage of the turmoil by targeting â&#x20AC;&#x153;certain areas and mosques.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The attempts to stir sectarian strife again

Attacks on mosques, especially where Sunnis worship, have been on the rise recently. by warlords, terrorists, and militia leaders will not succeed, and we will confront them with full force,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the army and police would boost security around houses of worship.

Even if the will is there, al-Malikiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government is considered too weak to ensure security and control militias and other extremist Shiite groups that are allegedly linked to and partly financed by Iran.

And many contend that al-Malikiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government planted the seeds for more sectarian tension by becoming more aggressive toward Sunnis after the U.S. military withdrawal in December 2011.

2 men arrested in death of Malcolm X grandson

By E. Eduardo Castillo Associated Press

MEXICO CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two waiters at a Mexico City bar will face homicide and robbery charges in the beating death of Malcolm Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandson Malcolm Shabazz, authorities said Monday.

Prosecutors said police were seeking at least two other people believed to have participated in the attack on Shabazz, who was beaten early Thursday in a dispute over a $1,200 bar bill.

Prosecutor Rodolfo Fernando Rios said bar employees David Hernandez Cruz and Manuel Alejandro Perez de Jesus would be charged with agShabazz gravated robbery and homicide.

Rios said there was no indication of a racial motivation in the attack on Shabazz, 28, who was assaulted after he drank with a friend at the Palace bar on Garibaldi Plaza, a downtown square famous for open-air performances by strolling mariachi musicians.

Miguel Suarez, a friend of Shabazz, told The Associated Press last week that the fight broke out after the owner of the bar demanded that the two men pay 15,000 pesos for the time they spent drinking at the bar. He said he found Shabazz outside the bar and took him to a hospital where he died.

EDITORIALS

Assault action It’s way past time for military and elected officials to address the growing epidemic of sexual assault in the military.

L

ast week’s Pentagon report on sexual assaults in the military will be difficult to ignore.

Americans may have been aware that this was a growing problem in the U.S. military, but few probably would have guessed the extent of the epidemic the Pentagon described.

Despite various efforts to try to address the problem, the Pentagon, which certainly has no incentive to inflate these numbers, estimated that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year. That’s only an estimate because the vast majority of these incidents go unreported.

There were fewer than 3,400 reported incidents last year, the survey said, and nearly 800 of those reports came from people — men and women — who declined to file complaints against their alleged attackers. That means that only about one-tenth of the assaults the Pentagon thinks occurred last year were even pursued, let alone resulted in any meaningful punishment.

The numbers are shocking, but some of the individual stories that have come out in the last week are even more disturbing. There was the arrest, just days before the Pentagon report was released, of the Air Force’s head of sexual assault prevention on, yes, assault charges after he allegedly groped a woman in a Virginia parking lot. There are at least two cases of military superior officers unilaterally reversing sexual assault convictions of people under their command — and an ongoing investigation of a report that 62 trainees were assaulted or were victims of improper conduct over a fouryear period by 32 instructors at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. In addition, since the Pentagon report was released, many individuals have shared with various news outlets their experience with sexual assault in the military and the effect it had on both their personal lives and their careers.

The only good news in connection with this report is that it may finally have spurred the kind of attention this problem deserves among top military and elected officials. A variety of solutions are being discussed, including taking responsibility for dealing with sexual assault reports away from commanding officers and giving it to either military or civilian prosecutors. Even more important, however, may be a tough initiative to change a military culture that has hidden and, therefore, tacitly condoned the kind of behavior that now is coming to light.

Some observers have expressed concern that, now that this issue has captured their attention, elected U.S. officials may overreact or take ill-advised or hasty action to address the problem. That may be possible, but officials shouldn’t allow this problem to be put on the back burner. Do the math. Twentysix thousand sexual assaults in one year; that’s 500 assaults every week. That simply can’t be allowed to continue.

What Russia gave us on Syria: very little Those who oppose greater U.S. involvement in Syria were no doubt relieved at the announcement that Moscow and Washington want to convene an international conference to end the country’s civil war.

They shouldn’t be.

Secretary of State John Kerry’s announcement contains no hint of a diplomatic breakthrough. Indeed, diplomacy stands no chance unless President Obama first does what he has long avoided: takes the lead in helping the Syrian opposition break the military stalemate on the ground.

Take a look at what actually happened last week in Moscow. Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, said they would bring representatives of the Syrian government and opposition together to determine how to implement a plan for a political transition, based on a June 2012 agreement reached by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

But this accord has gone nowhere over the last year for compelling reasons. Neither Bashar al-Assad nor Moscow nor, for the most part, the opposition has shown any interest in it. And even when opposition leaders were willing to talk, Assad responded with atrocities, and Moscow did zip.

Did anything change last week in Moscow? Not much.

True, Kerry publicly dropped the U.S. demand that “Assad must go,” which had been regarded as a precondition for talks. That gesture, however, won’t make the difference: The reason Assad has spurned the Geneva road map goes much deeper than

Trudy Rubin

Unless the military balance shifts, talk of diplomacy is little more than an excuse to ignore atrocities and red lines.” that.

The Geneva document calls for a transitional government to be formed by mutual consent in negotiations between the government and opposition. That transitional government would exercise full executive power until a new government is elected.

Of course, opposition negotiators would never agree to a transitional government that includes Assad or his inner circle. But no one can imagine Assad voluntarily giving up power.

“According to the terms of the Geneva communiqué, Assad has to agree to go, but he’s not going to choose to go,” said the Syrian American activist Louay Sakka, cofounder of the Syrian Support Group. “Assad wants to hold on.”

Fred Hof, a former State Department adviser who helped negotiate the Geneva document, says Assad realized its terms amounted to “a death sentence” for his family’s rule in Syria. Russia realized this, too, and consequently backed Assad’s rejection of the initiative, even trying to renegotiate key passages.

Early this year, a top Syrian opposition leader, Moaz al-Khatib, offered to talk with government figures less tainted than Assad’s inner circle, and suggested that Moscow help organize such a meeting. French President Francois Hollande asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to facilitate, and thought he’d received a positive answer. But Putin did nothing. Criticized by other opposition leaders for his offer, Khatib has now given up his leadership role.

There was little sign in Moscow last week that Putin had grown more enthusiastic about jettisoning Assad.

Many journalists focused on Foreign Minister Lavrov’s statement that Russia is “not interested in the fate of certain persons, [but] in the fate of Syria itself.”

However, Lavrov has said similar things before. He probably means that, should Assad’s inner circle choose to oust him, Russia wouldn’t oppose it. But that is highly unlikely, since members of the inner circle are so tightly connected to Assad that if he goes, they know they will be next.

More telling, when it comes to Russian thinking, is the fact that Putin kept Kerry waiting for three hours, and that intelligence reports surfaced just after Kerry left that Russia was completing a sale of sophisticated surfaceto-air missiles to Syria. Such missiles will give Assad far greater protection against air attack, including future Israeli attempts to prevent the transfer of missiles to the radical Lebanese movement Hezbollah.

No hint here that Putin is ready to abandon Assad.

Moreover, all signs indi-

cate that Assad still believes he can outlast the opposition, especially since Obama is so clearly unwilling to help it in a meaningful way.

Hof believes Assad’s suspected limited use of chemical weapons was meant to signal to any waverers in his security circle that Obama would not honor his declared “red line.” “He wanted to reassure his supporters that the West would not intervene,” the former diplomat told me.

Hof also believes there will be no diplomatic breakthrough unless the military balance shifts: Only if Russia believes its proxy could lose might Putin decide the time has come to pressure Assad.

I agree.

Changing the balance would not require U.S. boots on the ground, nor should it involve U.S. planes and missiles. But it would require additional military aid from the United States and its allies and a far greater U.S. role — led from the top — in ensuring that aid is channeled solely through the opposition’s new Supreme Military Council.

Given that U.S. commitment, it would be possible to prevent additional weapons from flowing to jihadis. The fact is that the jihadis already have far more access to heavy weapons than the CIA-vetted opposition commanders we claim to support.

Unless the military balance shifts, talk of diplomacy is little more than an excuse to ignore atrocities and red lines. The choice is not between diplomacy and greater U.S. involvement.

Without the latter, the former will fail.

Mark Matese, director of Douglas County Community Corrections, YEARS recently had sugAGO gested to state IN 1988 corrections officials that if inmates of the state penitentiary were released to ease overcrowding, his program might be able to absorb some of them. On April 1, U.S. District Judge Richard Rogers of Topeka had ordered corrections officials to release 400 inmates from the Kansas State Penitentiary in Lansing by September.

PUBLIC FORUM

Misguided To the editor: In his May 8 letter, Steve Willson, DVM, says the May 5 Journal-World article about a concert fundraiser for Operation Wildlife (OWL) “encourages the creation of serious public health problems.”

He then gives a brief tutorial on rabies and one line about the dangers of approaching great blue herons. Eh? The article was simply about a fundraiser (but it even had a caution about herons!). And the quickest search would have shown Willson that a major portion of OWL’s mission is educating the public about wild animals, deterring people from approaching and keeping them, and providing rescue and safe techniques when intervention is needed.

Most of the wild birds, mammals and reptiles in OWL’s care have posed little or no threat to the public.

And when there is a threat, OWL is a great place to call because they are specifically trained (and permitted

by Kansas and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) to handle such things. OWL safety procedures for staff and vol-

unteers include a rabies preexposure vaccine series and follow-up testing. And they know more about the current status of rabies in wild populations than anybody other than a few state biologists (see the Opwildlife comment under the letter).

A costly and labor-intensive local nonprofit that we rely on deserves all of the financial, in-kind and moral support we can muster.

Anyone who concludes that a wildlife rehab program increases the risk of rabies is just ill informed and not using logic. And when someone with credentials does that, it’s highly irresponsible.

Christy Kennedy, Lawrence

other local Internet providers is too much.

The city is not in the business of favoring one company over another. If it is, I want my company to get a break on all taxes, parking needs, construction permits, inspections and anything else I can think of for the next 20 years. That way, I won’t have to spend the money on those items, like my competitors.

If Wicked Broadband can’t get the money or terms it needs from the financial community, maybe it’s not the fault of our community’s commitment, but their financial structure, status and plan. The city should “just say no.”

Ken Meyer, Lawrence

Unfair aid To the editor: It’s bad enough that the city bought a bill of goods in giving inexpensive access to city facilities for Lawrence Freenet, with the dubious promise of providing Internet capabilities to those who could not afford it, but to consider giving the morphed company, Wicked Broadband, a $500,000 grant and a competitive advantage over

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 14, 1913: YEARS “Billie Bob AtkinAGO son, five year old IN 1913 son of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Atkinson, is lost. It is feared that the Kaw River has claimed this little life and that the deep muddy waters hold the secret of the child’s whereabouts. Billie Bob disappeared last night. He was missed at home about eight o’clock at night and the search, which has not yet been given up, was begun then. But as the time draws on and nothing is heard from the little fellow the fear that he has met with a mishap has increased until hope is almost abandoned.”

D-Day arrives for Wiggins

CLASS 6A REGIONAL GOLF

Next stop: state

â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Prep standout to sign today

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Andrew Wiggins, the No. 1 prospect in the high school recruiting Class of 2013, will sign a letter of intent with Kansas University, Florida State, Kentucky or North Carolina at 11:15 a.m., Central time, today in a ceremony at Huntington (W.Va.) Prep High School.

Just one media member â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grant Traylor of the Huntington Herald-Dispatch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be allowed into the ceremony. He plans to relay the information to the world on Twitter (@GrantTraylor) and then post a story at his paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website: herald-dispatch.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am going to tweet the answer out as soon as he says where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going,â&#x20AC;? Traylor told Zagsblog.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tweet the answer out Wiggins and hopefully get something on our website, and everybody can go from there. I know everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been waiting a long time.â&#x20AC;?

Wiggins, a soft-spoken 6-foot-7 senior forward, told his high school coach, Rob Fulford, he wanted no lavish news conference, just an announcement before family and classmates and the one member of the press who regularly covers the team for the local paper.

Florida State opened the day Monday as the popular choice of various media members. As the day progressed, KU gained steam as perhaps being a frontrunner for Wiggins, who has been called the most-hyped recruit since LeBron James.

Jeff Goodman of CBSsports.com rocked KU nation late Monday afternoon by tweeting: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m changing my prediction for Andrew Wigginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; destination from FSU to Kansas. No â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;inside info,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; just a hunch based on talking to people.â&#x20AC;?

CBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gary Parrish picks Florida State: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Combine the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connection to the school with (coach) Leonard Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation as an elite recruiter with the fact that Wiggins wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have to share the ball in Tallahassee,â&#x20AC;? he writes.

ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave Telep put out odds of the four schools landing Wiggins. Florida Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s odds were listed at 35 percent, followed by KU (25 percent), North Carolina (20 percent) and Kentucky (20 percent). â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Kansas, Thomas Robinson handed off to Ben McLemore, and now coach Bill Self wants to transition to Wiggins,â&#x20AC;? writes Telep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a program with a rich recent history of playing up to its star power. There are stories of how Self stood in front of his team and empowered McLemore to take more shots this year; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of stuff that ends up being told to a No. 1 recruit during an in-home visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas is traditionally one of the most talent-laced programs in the country. It already has No. 6 recruit Joel Embiid this year, but it could use a heavyweight recruiting victory. Josh Selby was a win and Xavier Henry was even bigger, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to usher in a transfer of power to a Please see HOOPS, page 3B

THE CITY WILL BE WELL REPRESENTED AT THE CLASS 6A STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT. Free State and Lawrence high schools qualified their entire teams at a regional Monday at Alvamar, including, clockwise from top left, Free Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wilson Hack, Lawrence Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cole Cummins and Rito Mendez, and Free Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Max Soto

FSHS first, LHS third at regional

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

After watching each of Free State Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six golfers tee off and miss the fairway on hole No. 1 Monday morning at Alvamar Golf Course, coach Matt Gudenkauf began mentally preparing himself for the possibility of a disappointing day at a Class 6A regional tournament.

Clearly the players werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overly concerned.

Wilson Hack (78), Alex Green (80), Matt Siler (81) and Max Soto (82) all finished as top-10 medalists, and the Firebirds won the regional title with a team score of 321 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; beating out Olathe East (328) and rival Lawrence High (339), which also advanced their teams to state by finishing in the top three.

Green, a senior who finished fourth at the regional,

Green said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I just hung in there and kept playing golf.â&#x20AC;?

So did his teammates. Hack took third after a one-hole playoff for second with Topekaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Max Stucky-Halley. Siler

finished in seventh place following his three-golfer playoff for fifth, and Soto earned 10th after a three-way playoff for eighth, won by Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brett Van Blaricum. Free Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jack Flynn shot 88 and teammate Hunter Dedloff finished at 92.

Only individual regional champion Alex Springer of Olathe East (76) posted a better score than Hack. But the FSHS senior had to settle for third, instead of runner-up, because he had already began looking forward to the state tournament next Monday at Meadowbrook Country Club in Prairie Village. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took myself out of it mentally once I got in and signed my scorecard,â&#x20AC;? Hack said after losing a playoff on No. 18, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I had totally forgotten the procedure here at regionals, that you play everything out (ties in the top 10).

Mentally, I shut down: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done with golf for the day.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was hot. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even in it.â&#x20AC;?

Siler, Free Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 6 golfer, might have been the most surprising regional medalist, but Hack knew the sophomore was capable of playing well because he shot a 78 on April 9 at Eagle Bend. Green was impressed by Silerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional score of 81, too.

The seventh-place medalist consistently attacked the course with his fades, and that helped his confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played relaxed, too,â&#x20AC;? Siler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good day.â&#x20AC;?

Lawrence senior Van Blaricum didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it at the time, but the 20-foot par putt he sank on 18 put him in the top 10 and a playoff for eighth place.

After posting an 82, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even expect to win a medal because he â&#x20AC;&#x153;blew upâ&#x20AC;? on the Please see GOLF, page 3B

Ex-KU QB Webb facing charges BOULDER, COLO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; University of Colorado quarterback Jordan Webb and former Buffaloes offensive lineman Alexander Lewis are facing assault charges after witnesses said another man was knocked unconscious when Lewis shoved his head into a brick wall and both men pushed the victim to the ground and punched him.

According to a Boulder police report obtained by The Daily Camera (http://tinyurl. com/cklrj3p), Webb and Lewis, both 21, were arrested Saturday on suspicion of second- Webb degree assault.

Lewis also faces two counts of harassment.

According to police, Lee Bussey, 22, was walking back to an apartment with a woman around 3 a.m. Saturday when Bussey and Lewis bumped into each other.

Police say that led to an argument and a shoving match.

A witness told police Lewis repeatedly shoved Bussey into a brick wall, causing his head to hit the wall several times. The witness told police Webb then came and the two men shoved Bussey to the ground and began punching him.

Officials said Bussey had no recollection of the incident and was bleeding from the head.

He was taken to Boulder Community Hospital and received stitches.

Lewis told police they had been in Denver celebrating a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation. He and Webb then took a taxi back to Boulder and were walking home when he bumped into Bussey.

Lewis told police Bussey tried to throw a punch at him but missed, so he shoved him away. He said Bussey got up and tried to throw another punch, so he again shoved him to the ground. Lewis said at no point did Webb ever get involved in the shoving.

Investigators said Lewis told them he drank six glasses of wine, 10 beers and six shots the night of the fight.

Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney, Donald Brenner, said at a hearing Monday that his client was wearing Nebraska Cornhuskers apparel, which may have led to him being â&#x20AC;&#x153;accosted.â&#x20AC;? He added that Lewis only shoved Bussey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He might not have handled the situation properly, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a kid,â&#x20AC;? Brenner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really sad event for a really nice kid.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Webbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Lou Rubino, said his clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in the altercation was â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-criminal.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe Mr. Webb will be exonerated,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not who he really is. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good kid in high school, at Kansas and at CU.â&#x20AC;?

Webb was Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary starter last season after transferring from KU, throwing for 1,434 yards and eight touchdowns with eight interceptions.

He is recovering after tearing his right ACL during spring practice.

Lewis, the starting left guard who announced Friday he was transferring to Nebraska, also was charged with two counts of harassment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once all of the facts come to light, if Jordan is found responsible for any misconduct, he will be disciplined according to team rules,â&#x20AC;? first-year Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As for Alex Lewis, as of Friday he was off of the team when he did a media interview and announced that he is transferring to Nebraska. Since he is no longer a Colorado Buffalo, it will be up to Nebraska to decide what discipline he might face.â&#x20AC;?

Prosecutors are expected to charge Webb and Lewis formally on Wednesday.

Orb readies for Preakness BALTIMORE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Orb has settled into the place reserved for royalty at Pimlico Race Course â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stall 40.

The Triple Crown hopeful arrived at Pimlico on Monday afternoon, five days before the Preakness. He was immediately taken to stall 40 at the Stakes Barn, which traditionally serves as home to the Kentucky Derby winner.

Some of the greatest horses in history have been kept there, including Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed (1978). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how proud I am,â&#x20AC;? trainer Shug McGaughey said.

Orb was shipped by van after an outstanding workout at Belmont Park. With exercise rider Jennifer Patterson aboard, Orb seemed to move effortlessly around the track on a clear, sunny day. He breezed four furlongs in 47.18 seconds and galloped out five furlongs in 59.54. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way he worked this morning was nothing short of magnificent,â&#x20AC;? McGaughey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be any happier where we are, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited about Saturday afternoon.â&#x20AC;?

McGaughey wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concerned with the fast fractions, which came nine days after running 11â &#x201E;4 miles in the Derby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tribute to the way he came out of the Derby, and to come back and be able to have a work like that and do it the way he did it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be

EXERCISE RIDER JENNIFER PATTERSON WALKS Kentucky Derby winner Orb after arriving at Pimlico Race Course on Monday in Baltimore. Orb is scheduled to run in the Preakness Stakes on Saturday. more thrilled,â&#x20AC;? he said in New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on cloud nine. The way he was striding today, the way he held his leads through the lane, I thought it was spectacular.â&#x20AC;?

McGaughey understands the pressure associated with trying to the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed, although he sees no reason to be nervous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking about what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do this week, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really worried about it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Not to mention, Orb hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done anything that would indicate he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be at his best Saturday.

Orb was the second horse to arrive at Pimlico, joining Goldencents, the 17th-place finisher in the Derby.

A win in the 13â &#x201E;16-mile Preakness on Saturday would set up a Triple Crown try in the Belmont Stakes on June 8.

Orb, owned by the Phipps Stable and Stuart Janney III, takes a five-race winning streak into the Preakness, where he will face what look to be nine challengers. Among them are Derby runners Mylute (fifth), Oxbow (sixth), Will Take Charge (eighth), Itsmyluckyday (15th) and Goldencents.

Chiefs hire pistol offense expert as consultant KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Chiefs couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have found a better source for help in implementing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and maybe even defending â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the pistol offensive system sweeping through the NFL. The Chiefs have hired former Nevada coach Chris Ault, who used the modified shotgun formation to great success in the college ranks, to serve as a consultant to new coach Andy Reid, offensive coordinator Doug Pederson and the rest of the Kansas City coaching staff.

Aultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent, Bob LaMonte, confirmed the deal to the Associated Press on Monday. It was first reported by the Reno Gazette-Journal, which covered Ault during his college coaching years.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear exactly what his duties will be, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say that his expertise running the pistol offense will be heavily drawn upon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told coach Reid, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatever I can do to help you win a Super Bowl, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? the 66-year-old Ault told the Reno Gazette-Journal in a story published Monday.

The pistol offensive formation lines up the quarterback a few yards behind center, but short of the traditional shotgun formation. The idea is to give the quarterback, particularly those with the ability to run the option, more versatility immediately after the snap.

Ault utilized the offense at Nevada with Colin Kaepernick, who led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl this past season. The 49ers and other NFL teams have begun to implement it, with the Redskins and quarterback Robert Griffin III using it to great success.

Kaepernick, of course, replaced Alex Smith as the 49ersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting quarterback, allowing the team to trade Smith to the Chiefs this past offseason. And while Smith hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done much running in the NFL, he ran a spread-option system for coach Urban Meyer in college at Utah.

The Chiefs have used the pistol system in the past. In 2008, when injuries forced them to use quarterback Tyler Thigpen, he proved to be more successful taking the snap a few steps off the line of scrimmage. It allowed him more time to survey the field and scramble if necessary.

Ault isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first special assistant hired by the Chiefs.

Reid previously hired former Vikings coach Brad Childress, whom he worked with in Philadelphia, to serve as spread game analyst. Reid has said that Childress will research variations of the spread offense in an effort to help not only the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense, but also their defense.

In other news, the Chiefs announced the signing of running back Knile Davis, their thirdround draft pick. Davis is the third of the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eight draft picks to have signed a contract, joining sixth-round pick Eric Kush and seventhround selection Mike Catapano.

The Chiefs also signed six tryout players who took part in their rookie minicamp last weekend: defensive linemen Risean Broussard and Miguel Chavis, defensive backs James Rogers, Justin Glenn and Greg Castillo and running back Jordan Roberts.

They released defensive back Jose Gumbs and fullbacks Ryan Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Imperio and Nate Eachus.

The Chiefs begin voluntary full-squad workouts Tuesday. Franchise left tackle Branden Albert, who signed his $9.3 million tender but has stayed away from the team because of his desire for a long-term deal, is expected to be on the field for the practice.

TENNIS

Teen beats Venus; Serena next ROME â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Beating one of the Williams sisters is an accomplishment any young tennis player should celebrate. Winning consecutive matches against both of them would likely be a career highlight.

British teenager Laura Robson faces that task after beating Venus Williams 6-3, 6-2 on Monday at the Italian Open to set up a secondround match against younger sister Serena â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-ranked player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just like it on big courts against these huge players because I just go out there with nothing to lose,â&#x20AC;? said the 19-year-old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can remember seeing (Venus) play at Wimbledon when I was about 10 and I was kind of blown away with the speed that she hit the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today when she hit it in the center of the racket, it was basically point over, so I just had to take my chances.â&#x20AC;?

The 39th-ranked Robson won the Wimbledon junior title at age 14, and at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Madrid Open she upset fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska before losing in the third round to former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic in a third-set tiebreaker.

This tournament is the last major warm-up for the French Open, the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second Grand Slam, which starts May 26. The top 32 players in the world are seeded for Grand Slams.

The top eight seeds in Rome, including Williams, have first-round byes.

BASEBALL

Cubs lock in Rizzo for 7 years CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Chicago Cubs have viewed Anthony Rizzo as a part of their future since they acquired him. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locked in.

The slugging first baseman and the Cubs agreed Monday to a $41 million, seven-year contract that could be worth up to $68 million over nine seasons.

The 23-year-old is hitting .280 with a .352 on-base percentage. He also has nine home runs and 28 RBIs in his third major-league season.

PRO BASKETBALL

NBA taps All-Defensive teams LeBron James and Memphis guard Tony Allen headline the NBA All-Defensive First Team.

The league announced Monday that Allen received 53 points in the voting, while the Miami Heat star had 52. Each player had 25 first-team votes from the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30 head coaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pride ourselves on defense here,â&#x20AC;? said James. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m one of the catalysts, as far as taking that side of the ball very seriously. We all do. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to be rewarded with such an honor to be part of First Team All-Defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re awarded anything individually, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor.â&#x20AC;?

Also on the first team were Clippers guard Chris Paul (37 points), Thunder forward Serge Ibaka (46), Knicks center Tyson Chandler (24) and Bulls center Joakim Noah (24).

Marc Gasol, who was the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive player of the year, made the second team. He was joined on that squad by Celtics guard Avery Bradley, Grizzlies guard Mike Conley, Spurs forward Tim Duncan and Pacers forward Paul George.

Hawkinson shows versatility in camp

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tanner Hawkinson’s transition from tackle to the interior took another step forward last weekend at Cincinnati Bengals rookie minicamp.

Hawkinson, the former Kansas University offensive lineman who started four consecutive seasons at tackle and was drafted

by Cincinnati in the fifth round of last month’s NFL Draft, showed Bengals coaches enough at guard and center during the

three-day event to inspire them to expedite his move inside.

“He has the frame to be an inside player,” Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander said on the team’s official website last weekend.

T h e 6-foot-5, 298-pound H a w k i n - Hawkinson son played four of the five positions — left

tackle, left guard, right guard and center — during the team’s minicamp, something Alexander said he could not remember another lineman doing so early in his pro career.

“I’ll have to get back to you on that,” Alexander told reporters after the Saturday morning practice. “He’s got good quickness, he’s smart. He’s an instinctive player.”

Hawkinson was one of three rookie offensive linemen who impressed the veteran O-Line coach at the camp, and Ander-

son said he could envision immediate playing time for each of them this fall.

“All three guys are going to challenge,” Alexander said of Hawkinson and seventh-round picks Reid Fragel of Ohio State and T.J. Johnson of South Carolina.

As for how Hawkinson handled his first stab at playing center, the McPherson native spoke of a learning curve.

“It was a little awkward,” Hawkinson told the team site. “(But) getting that muscle memory

down, then it’s just like its second nature.

“It wasn’t bad (at guard either). It’s a little different, of course, but when they drafted me they told me they thought I could play all five positions.”

Hawkinson’s next activity with the Bengals will come May 21-23, when the team begins OTAs (organized team activities).

Six other former Jayhawks participated in NFL minicamps last weekend, but none seemed to make much of an impact.

Joel Thorman, of Ar-

rowheadPride.com, wrote that former KU quarterback Dayne Crist was outperformed at the Kansas City Chiefs minicamp by fellow undrafted free agent and former Tennessee QB Tyler Bray.

“Bray was clearly the best quarterback on the field,” Thorman wrote in his minicamp wrap-up. “It wasn’t really close. Dayne Crist was a far second.”

Other reports from Chiefs camp indicated that former Jayhawk Toben Opurum worked out at linebacker and running back.

Questions, answers about prep Wiggins

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Rivals.com’s No. 1-ranked recruit Andrew Wiggins will announce his college decision approximately 11:15 a.m. today, with Kansas University as one of the final four schools on his list.

Rivals national recruiting analyst Eric Bossi took some time to talk about Wiggins and what impact he might have at KU if he does commit to the Jayhawks.

Q:

You’ve seen Wiggins play quite a bit.

For someone who hasn’t seen him play, how would you describe his game?

He’s an athletic, transition player who can really slash to the rim and get on the offensive glass and find creases in the defense to get things done. He’s an improving ball-handler; someone who’s still working on his shot, but he’s such a ridiculous athlete, that it helps to cover some of the areas of his game that need some work. The jumpshot and the dribble are coming, but also, he’s a big-time defender. He’s already one of the best defenders in the country. So he’s a big, athletic, quick guy that makes plays above the rim, which is something there’s room for on any team — not just Kansas.

A:

I’ve heard a lot Q: about Wiggins’ spin move. Can you de-

scribe what he’s able to do with it offensively?

First of all, there are not a lot of high school kids that have mastery of a spin move. Not only does he have mastery, he’s mastered spinning right or left. How quickly he’s able to spin and how he’s able to do it in tight quarters and immediately explode to the rim … it’s just pure natural ability. You can’t teach that. It’s impossible to teach that. You can go in the gym and learn a spin move, but not like he has with the balance and quickness and the ability to still finish with power

big name. Kansas has a plan, a path and a destination for Wiggins. One insider once told me that Wiggins favors his relationship with Self over the other coaches involved. If I’m Self, the sell is simple: ‘Look what I did for Robinson and McLemore, two players who weren’t McDonald’s All Americans.’

Bonus: Wiggins’ brother Nick will be a senior at Wichita State next season.

For one year, traveling to see the boys would be very convenient for family.

“What concerns me:

Some may point to the fact that Kansas is an adidas-sponsored program and Wiggins hails from a Nike-affiliated background. That’s not a gamechanger from what’s been bantered about behind the scenes. However, KU is the only non-Nike program involved, and if Wiggins is thinking endorsements — and we can reasonably assume someone within his inner circle is — it might be easier to just stick within the comfort zone. Also, let’s say he makes a decision predicated on winning a national title. Of the three possible title contenders on his final list of four, KU would — on paper — have the most difficult ascension to the top,” Telep adds.

Eric Bossi of Rivals.

com tweeted: “No point in waiting. My guess/prediction/whatever you want to call is FSU.” Wiggins was named the 2013 Gatorade National Player of the Year after averaging 23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 2.5 assists for Huntington (30-3).

The final take comes from Huntington coach Fulford.

“I don’t know where Andrew Wiggins is going,” Fulford posted on his Facebook page Sunday.

Monday night, he added: “Just a friendly reminder that Andrew Wiggins’ signing tomorrow will be closed to the public and media. He wanted it to be private with just family, friends and classmates. I send this reminder hop-

coming in. But on paper, it would probably be their best class. Of course, you can’t find out if it was his best class or not until a few years down the road.

One more on this Q: topic: If KU did get Wiggins, what type of im-

pact might that have for KU and coach Bill Self in general as far as recruiting goes?

If you’re into recruiting badge of honors, it’s a pretty big badge of honor to have won that battle. In terms of perception, Bill Self’s already pretty highly thought of as a recruiter.

Kansas is already pretty highly regarded by kids, for the most part, on the recruiting trail. I don’t know how much more those guys can be elevated, because they’re already in that elite tier of programs that are always going to be able to get their foot in the door with kids. It would be another feather in his cap, but how much can you change the perception of somebody who already has a great perception?

A:

You talked about Q: Wiggins being in the top five or 10 high

school players of the last 10 years. What kind of athletes would you compare him to that you’ve seen since you’ve been a national recruiting analyst?

Athletically, he’s definitely way up there. If anyone remembers what a freak Tracy McGrady was when he was young, when he still had legs. There’s a little bit of Dominique Wilkins in his athleticism, in that he also has powerful athleticism.

For a guy who’s as lean as he is, he’s pretty powerful at the rim, which is why it’s kind of scary to think about what happens when he actually hits the weight room. Athletically, there may have been guys that have come and gone who were close to as athletic as him, but he’s pretty much about what you have to figure the limit of the human body is when it comes to athleticism.

A:

ing that people will not show up trying to get in.

Unfortunately, you will be turned away. Thx for everyone’s support!”

FREE STATE HIGH’S JACK FLYNN LINES UP A PUTT during the 6A regional golf tournament on Monday at Alvamar.

back nine, with a 45. But the news of a playoff against Soto and Olathe Northwest’s Nathan DeMars gave Van Blaricum new life, and his par-4 on the 13th secured his eighth-place medal after one hole.

“I wasn’t really nervous,” he said afterward.

“I was still gonna place regardless, so I was happy to beat them.”

One of four LHS individuals to qualify for state in 2012, Van Blaricum enjoyed the news of the Lions’ third-place finish even more. Brad Strauss (85), Cole Cummins (86), Tucker Sutter (86), 2012 state qualifier Rito Mendez (87) and Brent Cawhee (96) will join Van Blaricum at state because Lawrence finished five strokes ahead of fourthplace Olathe Northwest.

Van Blaricum credited No. 4 LHS golfer Strauss and No. 5 Sutter for having strong days, because they have been up and down this season.

Strauss wasn’t as pleased with his 85 as his teammates: “I guess they were surprised. I was expecting lower 80s,” the senior said.

Certainly part of their marvel came from the fact this is Strauss’ first season playing on any golf team.

Still, with his help, LHS is state-bound.

“We didn’t play our best today, obviously,” Strauss said after no Lawrence player broke 40 on the back nine, “but a lot of us can go low, and we expect better things next week.”

Hack said the Firebirds will be happy to see the Lions one more time at state.

“It’s so awesome to go out as a senior and win regionals,” Hack said. “I can’t ask for much more than that, honestly.”

BRIEFLY Seabury golfer makes state FORT SCOTT — Seabury Academy’s Frank Depenbusch qualified for the Class 2A state golf tournament by shooting a 102 at the Uniontown regional on Monday at Woodland Hills.

Seabury placed fifth as a team with a 457. Only the top three teams — Kansas City Christian (355), Oswego (429) and Pleasanton (424) — qualify for state, but Depenbusch was one of the top five finishers not on a qualifying team. He placed ninth overall.

State will be Monday at Dodge City’s Mariah Hills.

Tarik Black to visit: Tarik Black, a 6-foot-9 junior from University of Memphis who recently announced plans to transfer, visited Duke Monday Seabury’s Gaumer and was to visit KU today, according to zags- signs with DePauw blog.com. He has visited Bishop Seabury AcadGeorgetown and Oregon emy senior Alexa Gaumer and also has spoken with coaches from Ohio State and San Diego State, Zagsblog reports.

Black averaged 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds as a junior last season for the Tigers. He will be immediately eligible next season as a senior after earning his degree at Memphis.

signed a national letter of intent Monday with the DePauw University women’s basketball team.

The NCAA Division III program in Greencastle, Ind., went 34-0 last season to win a national championship.

Clarification Results of the 400-meter dash were inadvertently left out of coverage of the Sunflower League track championships in Saturday’s Journal-World.

Kennad finished in 59.08 seconds, behind champion Emma Vickers of Shawnee Mission East (58.04).

American League Indians 1-0, Yankees 0-7 CLEVELAND — There wasn’t enough time for the Yankees to tour the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or do much else on their short layover before going home.

So during a quick stop in Cleveland, they went to Progressive Field and split a doubleheader that wasn’t on the schedule when the season started.

Vidal Nuno, a Baker University product, pitched five innings of three-hit ball to win his first major-league start, and Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay drove in two runs apiece as the Yankees beat the Indians 7-0 in Monday’s second game.

After being blanked 1-0 on Justin Masterson’s four-hitter — with three infield singles — the Yankees were held to one run in the first six innings of the second game by Trevor Bauer (1-2) before rolling to their sixth win in seven games.

Pitching in just his second game for the Yankees, Nuno walked three and struck out three before handing a 1-0 lead to his bullpen. The former Cleveland draft pick became the only left-hander other than CC Sabathia or Andy Pettitte to start for New York since 2008.

“He did an unbelievable job, considering he hasn’t pitched in a while,” Girardi said of Nuno, who hadn’t pitched since making his big-league debut on April 29. “He’s very poised out there. Nothing seems to bother him. He was ahead of hitters all day.”

Rookie Adam Warren finished the five-hitter for his first big league save as the Yankees improved to 23-10 since a 1-4 start.

Consecutive rainouts last month forced the teams back to Cleveland for the rare, one-admission twinbill. The Yankees detoured into Ohio on their way back from Kansas City, while the Indians returned home for one day from a trip to Detroit and Philadelphia.

Still missing some of their biggest stars, the Yankees went 6-2 on a three-city, eight-game swing through Colorado, Kansas City and Cleveland.

“This is a great road trip for us,” Girardi said. “We played three teams that were playing well. Colorado was a game or two out when we played them.

Kansas City was tied for first and these guys are in first. To do that, it’s a really good road trip.”

Held to one run and three hits through six innings, the Yankees scored six times in the seventh and handed the Indians just their third loss in 16 games.

Selected by Cleveland in the 48th round of the 2009 amateur draft, Nuno gave the Yankees everything they could have hoped for.

Girardi had wanted to limit Nuno to 75 pitches, but the 25-year-old had surpassed that when he gave up consecutive twoout singles in the fifth.

However, Nuno struck out Asdrubal Cabrera with runners at first and third to end the threat and preserve his 1-0 lead.

“If I give up that run they take me out of the ballgame,” Nuno said.

“That was crucial. I was getting tired. I was trying to keep my poise and make pitches.”

NEW YORK YANKEES STARTING PITCHER VIDAL NUNO PITCHES in the first inning in the second baseball game of a doubleheader against the Indians on Monday in Cleveland. Nuno, a former Baker University pitcher, earned his first major-league win, 7-0, as the Yankees split the twinbill.

The Indians were impressed by Nuno.

“I’d never seen him before but he went out there and put it on us,” said first baseman Nick Swisher, who spent the previous four seasons with New York. “He put it on us really good, so next time around we’ll remember that.”

Nuno’s first career win was hardly guaranteed when he was replaced, but the Yankees broke it open in the seventh, highlighted by Overbay’s two-run double.

“To be able to shut this team down, this team has been swinging the bats,” Girardi said. “They’re very balanced. They have switch-hitters, right-handers, left-handers, they have speed. It was an unbelievable job.”

In the opener, Masterson (6-2) gave up four singles. The right-hander overpowered the AL East leaders for his third career shutout and second this year following a blanking of the Chicago White Sox on April 12.

Jason Kipnis homered in the first inning off David Phelps (1-2) for the Indians, who were outscored 25-7 by the Yankees in two losses last month.

In the opener, Masterson had little trouble with a New York lineup lacking injured All-Stars Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira. He retired the side in order four times, struck out nine and was backed by solid and sometimes stellar defense.

New York’s best scoring threat came in the second inning, when the Yankees loaded the bases on a pair of two-out infield singles sandwiched around a walk from Masterson. But he struck out No. 9 hitter Alberto Gonzalez and easily handled the Yanks’ makeshift lineup.

Tigers 7, Astros 2 DETROIT — Andy Dirks hit his first career grand slam, part of a six-run fourth inning for Detroit in its victory over Houston.

Victor Martinez also homered for the Tigers, who swept four straight from the Astros in Houston earlier this month and opened this three-game series at Comerica Park with another convincing victory.

Anibal Sanchez (4-3) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings for the Tigers. He struck out eight with one walk.

Bud Norris (4-4) allowed seven runs and nine hits in five innings before leaving with lower back spasms. Houston has lost five straight and 15 of 18 — and the Astros also lost standout second baseman Jose Altuve in the second inning with a jaw injury.

Thunder on ropes, 3-1 MEMPHIS, TENN. (AP) — The Grizzlies are proving they know how to grab an advantage and hold onto it this postseason.

Tony Allen scored on a driving layup to open overtime and the Grizzlies held off the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-97 Monday night to push the defending Western Conference champions to the edge of elimination.

The Grizzlies shook off a first half in which they couldn’t hit shots and the Thunder seemingly couldn’t miss in building their largest lead in this series at 17 points. But the Grizzlies have yet to lose on their home court this postseason, and they won their third straight and seventh in eight games to grab a 3-1 lead in the series.

Game 5 is Wednesday night in Oklahoma City.

The Grizzlies outscored the Thunder 9-3 in overtime.

Kevin Durant scored 27 points but missed all five of his shots in the extra period, including a layup in the final seconds. Durant went 2 of 13 in the fourth quarter and overtime and had only five points. The All Star played 48 minutes and was just short on his shots as the game wore on.

Durant got the help from his teammates that he had been needing. Kevin Martin scored 18 points, Serge Ibaka had his best game of the series with 17 points and 14 rebounds, and Reggie Jackson had 15.

Nick Collison even added 10.

Mike Conley led Memphis with 24 points and Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph each had doubledoubles. Randolph had 23 and 12, while Gasol had 23 and 11 along with six blocks on the day the Defensive Player of Year was named to the NBA’s second All-Defensive team along with Conley, who had four steals.

Allen, who finished with 10 points, had three steals on the day he edged LeBron James for most points for the NBA’s AllDefensive team.

But Allen scored to open overtime, then Randolph rebounded a miss by Marc Gasol and scored on a putback. Derek Fisher, who missed his first four shots, finally hit a 3-pointer. But the 38-year-old veteran also had his inbound pass stolen by Allen with 21.1 seconds left and Memphis up 100-97.

Memphis bounced back and outscored Oklahoma City 44-30 in the paint even though the Grizzlies got outrebounded 44-41.

The Grizzlies still had a 13-8 advantage on the offensive glass leading to a 21-10 edge in secondchance points.

The Thunder spent most of the past two days talking about the need to make shots. They did just that to open the game, hitting three of their first five in scoring the first seven points and led 29-18 at the end of the first quarter for their biggest lead in this series.

Ibaka found his shooting stroke after struggling through this series, and he had nine points in the first 12 minutes, including a 3-pointer, with seven rebounds.

James, Heat stifle Chicago CHICAGO (AP) — LeBron James and the Miami Heat didn’t even give the Chicago Bulls room to breathe, practically squeezing the playoff life out of them to take a commanding lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal.

Another effort like this will seal it.

James scored 27 points, and the Heat nearly matched a franchise record for fewest points allowed in a playoff game, pounding the listless and short-handed Bulls 88-65 on Monday night to take a 3-1 lead in the series.

“We worked for it,” said Heat forward Chris Bosh.

“I never like to say that things are easy.”

The Heat sure made it look that way, though.

The 65 points allowed were only two more than the all-time postseason low for a Miami opponent, and it was easily the worst offensive performance by a Chicago team in the playoffs.

Never before had the Bulls scored fewer than 69 in a playoff game nor 10 or less in a quarter during the postseason, but both those marks fell on a night when they were dominated on both ends of the floor.

Miami led by 11 at the half and put this one away in the third quarter, outscoring Chicago 17-9 in the period.

Now the Heat will try to wrap up the series at home Wednesday night, taking what they hope will be the next step toward a second straight championship.

It’s hard to believe the

Bulls won the series opener the way the past three games have gone.

Miami pounded Chicago in Game 2, coming away with its most lopsided playoff victory while handing the Bulls their worst ever postseason loss — and the Heat continued to roll from there.

James had his usual complete game with eight assists and seven rebounds Monday.

Bosh finished with 14 points after scoring 20 and grabbing 19 rebounds in Game 3, and the Heat won again despite another quiet night from Dwyane Wade (six points), whose right knee was bothering him again. He appeared to aggravate it on a fallaway jumper during the game but was able to return after getting re-taped.

“It’s frustrating at times, but you just try to do what you can,” Wade said.

CNBC doesn’t stand out with ‘Crowd Rules’ Call me confused. I’m frequently stumped when a cable network deviates from its original purpose to pursue generic reality shows, readily available elsewhere.

The newest CNBC offering is “Crowd Rules” (8 p.m.) a show so unabashedly unoriginal, it just might work. Imagine the set from “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” the music from “The Apprentice” and the general thrust of “Shark Tank” and you’re getting close.

Every week on “Crowd Rules,” three small businesses appear before a panel of rather slick-looking experts in hopes of receiving a $50,000 cash prize. First, they must describe their business, its problems and opportunities, and explain what they would do with the grant.

Unlike “Shark Tank,” where entrepreneurs get the opportunity to buy into a business in part or swallow it whole, the emphasis here is on keeping the business in its owners’ hands.

The “new” wrinkle in “Crowd” is the studio audience. It consists of 100 business owners, experts and consultants, whose votes are the only thing that counts.

Not to give too much away, but in the episode made available for review, the “crowd” completely ignored the advice of the judges — not unlike the home audience on “Dancing With the Stars.”

One wishes “Crowd” took the crowd-funding idea even further, inviting viewers to follow along at home, or on the Internet and vote with their own modest investments, via Kickstarter, eBay, Paypal or some other online transaction site. But that could get sticky, and seem weird in repeats. And I’m sure we’ll get plenty of chances to watch reruns of “Crowd Rules,” while CNBC ignores its real job of reporting business news.

Tonight’s season finales:

The hunt for Eli David and Jackie Vance’s killer continues on “NCIS” (7 p.m., CBS).

A nuclear blast gets everybody’s attention on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS).

Taylor Swift and Rob Reiner guest-star on “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox).

Mindy volunteers in Haiti on “The Mindy Project” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

Clark makes the most of a desk-duty demotion on “Golden Boy” (9 p.m., CBS).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, May 14: This year you encounter some touchy situations yet manage to remain held together. Sometimes you get involved in power plays. If you are single, you could meet someone easily. If you are attached, as a couple, you have had and continue to have issues over power and control.

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) Whether it happens in reality or in your dreams, you’ll awake with an unusual insight and a need to push in a certain direction.

You have a lot of power and energy behind you. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You will be on a mission from the moment you wake up. You could have something you want to say to someone, but this person might not be ready to hear it. Tonight: Let yourself relax with friends.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Be more aware of your possessive and materialistic side; otherwise, you could find yourself caught up in a shopping spree that might be nearly impossible to stop.

Tonight: Indulge a loved one.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You are capable of creating what you want. You could be dealing with a contentious friend right now, or perhaps a demanding and unpredictable situation.

Tonight: All smiles.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You sense that more is going on behind the scenes than others are willing to acknowledge. Observe more, and get to the root of a problem. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will want to keep your focus and not get distracted.

There is something going on that could be deterring you from staying centered. Tonight: Ever playful.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pressure builds. It seems as if an authority figure has high expectations for what you can do.

Tonight: Try to stay centered.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) While others run around in circles, you have the unique ability to stay focused on what you need to do. Though you are an emotional sign, you know when to detach and see the big picture. Tonight: Go for something unusual.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be trying to do something very differently. Realize that you need to work closely with one person in order to succeed.

Tonight: Chat over dinner.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others have the intention of running the show. You might want to be more involved. Perhaps you need to start your own project and not let others in. Tonight: Let your creative genie out of the bottle.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Know what you want. You will want to put an extra effort into maintaining your desired pace.

Tonight: Happy when you finally get home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You are so creative and dynamic. Others can trigger your imagination with a simple comment about the weather or something similar. Tonight: Fun and games.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for 15 years and recently decided to try an openmarriage lifestyle. We are doing this with full honesty and respect for each other.

The main problem is that the dating success is not equal. I found it easier to get a date, whereas, my husband is having a tremendous degree of difficulty. He has online dating profiles, but no luck. I am seeing someone who is a wonderful person, but I want my husband to experience new things along with me.

Open marriage is still considered taboo, and it is extremely important to my husband and me that we are honest about our marital status with any prospective date.

Even though he is happy for me, I feel compelled to help him. But I’m not sure how to do it with-
