New paid position recommended to lead effort to attract retirees

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Local government may need to create a new job in order to attract people who have retired from one.

A joint city-county task force is recommending local government add a new position to oversee efforts to attract retirees to live in

Mostly sunny

Lawrence and Douglas County.

The Retiree Attraction and Retention Task Force worked on Wednesday to finalize its recommendations and agreed a new staff position either in city or county government would be critical in achieving the goal of Douglas County becoming a top retirement destination in the Midwest.

“The overriding sense I get is that this effort will take a lot of coordination and communication,” said County Commissioner Jim Flory, a co-chairman of the task force. “I think the final analysis says it will require some staffing.

We need a point person.”

The task force, which is scheduled to deliver its report to city and coun-

ty commissioners at a joint study session June 5, doesn’t identify how much the new position may cost.

But the group recommends city and county leaders consider using economic development funding to pay for the position. Flory said he hopes the position can be included in the Please see RETIREES, page 2A

STEVE AND VERA GANNAWAY, who live southwest of Baldwin City, are pictured May 10 with a pair of horses they agreed to care for after the animals were abandoned on a ranch in rural Douglas County. The horses had been left without food or water. The Lawrence Humane Society has seen an increase in such abandonment cases in the area.

Fenced in with nowhere to go, the two horses had nearly no chance of surviving.

“I just felt so outraged,” said Dori Villalon, director of the Lawrence Humane Society.

“Horrific case of cruelty.”

Villalon shows pictures of a recent investigation into a rural Douglas County ranch, where the owner, who could face animal cruelty charges, left the ranch and two horses behind several months back. Before a report to the Humane Society, the horses had been left to fend for themselves without food or water.

Regents mull raises for faculty, staff in tuition proposals

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — As members of the Kansas Board of Regents heard new tuition proposals from Kansas universities, several of them included provisions for raises for faculty and staff.

Regents heard the proposals from the universities on Wednesday but won’t vote on them until June.

Kansas State President Kirk Schulz said that the past four years have been “a really horrible time” to be a high-performing faculty member, as Kansas universities haven’t been able to keep up with the market.

At Kansas University, almost half of its proposed tuition increase on the Lawrence campus would

go toward faculty and staff retention.

KU Provost Jeff Vitter said the $6 million to retain top faculty and staff would be distributed in a similar fashion to last year, when KU distributed $5.2 million in tuition funds for merit-based raises.

“It will be merit-based,” Vitter said. “It will not be across the board.”

Last year, he said, the raises were primarily aimed at retaining top faculty and staff who were targets for other universities.

This year, he said, he hoped that the raises would be distributed more generally to highperforming faculty and staff who may not have received much of the pot last year but were still performing above expectations.

Several regents ex-

Options Inspection funding for horse slaughterhouses was recently reinstated on the federal level, and the practice may see a comeback in the U.S. If it does, it presents a controversial option for unwanted horses in the country.

Many horse advocate groups decry slaughter entirely, citing inhumane conditions reported in horse slaughterhouses in the country before federal inspection dollars were cut.

“The worst answer is slaughter,” Everhart said.

Villalon and Mensch, however, cautiously disagree, and both say domestic slaughter could help ease the current bur-

real estate agencies, builders and others who would benefit from a surge in retirees. A funding amount wasn’t specified.

Create an advisory board to study senior issues and develop ways to enhance Lawrence’s reputation as a retirement community.

The task force also made broader recommendations in several areas, including transportation and housing options for seniors.

“Transportation really is the monster in the room,” said John Glassman, a member of the task force. “It is going to be so critical to our efforts.”

in a senior-friendly neighborhood but also one that is open to families of all ages.

“I’ve really been pushing for us to include this idea in the report because I believe it could be one of the bigger economic development elements to come out of this,” said City Commissioner Hugh Carter, a co-chairman of the task force. “It really ties in our biggest resource, KU, to attract retirees.”

The report estimates that nationally 400,000 baby boomers a year will retire and will be seeking a new home. The report estimates such retirees spend on average about

Horses

The report particularly notes the community has a shortage of transportation systems that serve seniors on weekends and evening hours.

On the housing front, the report recommends community leaders work with the alumni and endowment associations at Kansas University to study ways to encourage private developers to build a new “intergenerational living community.”

The community would be a cutting-edge development, perhaps on about 100 acres, that would be designed to attract returning Kansas University alumni who want to live

More than 100,000 horses were slaughtered in the United States until 2007, when cuts to federal inspection funds eliminated legal horse slaughterhouses in the country.

So today, horses must be shipped across the border to Canada or Mexico for slaughter. Often overloaded in poorly ventilated trailers, it can be a tough final trip for horses.

“This is the most egregious thing you can do to a horse,” Everhart said.

KDOT to spruce up old U.S. 59, may take out passing lane

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

For those who like to zoom by slow-moving vehicles going up the hill on U.S. Highway 59 just outside of Pleasant Grove, your passing days are numbered.

Later this year, the Kansas Department of Transportation is expected to open up the brand new U.S. Highway 59, which will be a four-lane freeway between Lawrence and Ottawa.

When they do, the existing U.S. 59 will be turned over to the county as a minor collector road.

Before the county takes control of the road, KDOT has agreed to fix bridges, repave roads and replace the guardrail. As part of that agreement, the county is asking KDOT to take

Son of 1989 murder victim frustrated by lack of information

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A Dallas man, who recently discovered that his mother, Nilsa Sanchez, was murdered near Lawrence in 1989, says he’s been frustrated by a lack of information provided by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office about the unsolved case.

“They really didn’t tell me anything,” said Brian Torres, 31.

Torres was 7 years old in August 1989 when his mother’s strangled body was found stuffed into a 36-inch-wide culvert under North 1400 Road near Stull, west of Lawrence.

Following child abuse allegations earlier that year, state officials removed Torres from the home he shared with his mother in the 1300 block of Pennsylvania Street.

For years, Torres had been told his mother died of natural causes, but last month he found a 2009 Journal-World article online detailing his mother’s

murder.

Since then, he’s been in contact with a detective working the cold case, but has been Sanchez provided little information, Torres said.

“He wouldn’t give me any details,” he said.

Undersheriff Steve Hornberger said that evidence from the case was sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation a few months ago, but he would not specify what the evidence was or what type of testing would be performed. Hornberger said disclosure of more details “could potentially negatively impact the case.”

Hornberger also did not specify what prompted the sheriff’s office to submit evidence in the 22-year-old cold case, or why the evidence wasn’t submitted sooner.

From the start, the case

has baffled investigators.

Two days into the initial investigation, the sheriff’s office activated the Capital Area Major Case Squad, or the M-Squad, a unit of law enforcement agents in the region who assist in criminal investigations.

The M-Squad logged more than 4,000 investigative hours, followed more than 500 leads and collected more than 300 pieces of evidence, but made no arrests.

In the years since, it’s not clear what, if any, progress has been made in the case.

Local law enforcement says the case is the only unsolved murder in the county in the past few decades.

It’s unclear when testing on the submitted evidence will take place, as the KBI does not comment on time lines for specific cases.

Gaslight Village community forced to find new homes

By Luke Ranker Special to the Journal-World

When Toni Martin and her three children moved to Gaslight Village in September 2010, they formed a bond with the other families in the small neighborhood. Martin said her children quickly made friends.

In March, Martin stood on her porch as six middle school-aged children filed past her, collecting forks.

She said she frequently watched and fed neighborhood kids. A month later, as she stood in her empty singlewide trailer, her voice cracked when she spoke of leaving the community.

“We loved everybody in the park,” she said. “We’ve never had a community this close.”

Martin, who is originally from Lawrence, said her ex-husband was a Marine, so the family was used to moving to wherever he was stationed. When Martin returned to Lawrence, she thought the constant moving would be over.

“The kids need a place they can settle down at,” she said.

Gaslight Mobile Home Village on 31st Street, a few blocks east of Iowa Street, once was a full community of about 150 trailers, but now with construction of a student apartment complex looming, residents are emptying the park.

Park residents were told in November that Mid-America Manufactured Housing Communities, the company that owns Gaslight Village, was planning to sell Gaslight to an Austin, Texas-

Officer, bank tellers testify in robbery hearing

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Lawrence police detective testified at a preliminary hearing Wednesday that a bank robbery suspect told him that he had been having money problems and that he wasn’t a violent person.

“He seemed genuinely sorry about what had occurred,” said Detective M.T. Brown, who interviewed Elliot R. Werner, 26, who was arrested Nov. 30, 2011, from under a porch near Ninth and Mississippi streets after he was accused of robbing Central National Bank, 603 W. Ninth St. Three bank employees testified Wednesday about how bank security staff members had been on high alert and working with police for months after the bank was robbed in July. Bank employees on Nov. 25 noticed a suspicious man wearing a heavy jacket and a ski mask walking away south of the bank after they heard a door open but didn’t notice anyone come inside. They also noticed

the same man walking outside near the bank around noon Nov. 30.

About three hours later, with an undercover police officer inside the bank’s lobby, the man, who wore a heavy jacket with a hood over his head and large aviator sunglasses, entered the south door of the bank and with one hand in his pocket. He approached two bank tellers.

“He told us that he had a gun and to throw big bills as quick as we could into the bag,” teller Steven Bauer testified during Wednesday’s hearing.

The tellers, who had also pressed their silent alarms, placed several thousand dollars into a sack the robber provided before the suspect left the south door of the bank. During that time a police officer drove up from the south on Louisiana Street in an attempt to stop the suspect, who ran back to the west and eluded the undercover officer who was inside the bank during the robbery.

Brown said officers later apprehended Werner in the area. Brown also

said Werner had admitted to at least two earlier occasions going near the bank with intent to rob it but “he lost his nerve.”

Werner also told police he did not have a gun during the Nov. 30 robbery.

Douglas County District Judge Michael Malone said he expected to order Werner to face a trial on at least one count of robbery, but there is a legal question whether he can face two robbery counts.

Prosecutors argue Werner should because they allege two bank tellers handed over money. Attorneys will also argue whether Werner should face a trial for an attempted robbery count for the Nov. 25 incident.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson has said prosecutors also suspect Werner robbed the same bank months earlier the afternoon of July 14, 2011, and they hope to charge him in that case later. Werner is next due in court June 22.

BRIEFLY Mo. lawmakers act to he’ll seek to repeal it if University chalstop KU license plate Kansas lenges the University of

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. (AP) — Legislation aimed at stopping Missouri from issuing a specialty license plate featuring Kansas University is on its way to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon.

Lawmakers attached the measure to a higher education bill approved Wednesday in the Senate.

The amendment says only Missouri schools may be featured on license plates unless the Legislature votes otherwise.

Fans of Kansas University and its Jayhawk mascot launched an effort last year to get the plate.

The amendment’s sponsor, Democrat Rep. Stephen Webber, has said

Missouri to a football or basketball game next school year.

The measure won’t affect Missouri’s recent approval of a plate featuring a different Kansas institution — Pittsburg State.

$50K donated to KU social welfare school Roger Werholtz, a former state director of corrections, and his wife, Shirley, have contributed a $50,000 gift to support Kansas University’s School of Social Welfare.

The gift includes $30,000 to establish an endowed scholarship

for students majoring in social welfare and $20,000 in unrestricted support for the school.

Roger Werholtz earned a KANSAS UNIVERSITY master’s degree from KU’s social welfare school in 1978 before going on to work for the Kansas Department of Corrections for 28 years.

to move within a month but wasn’t sure exactly when. She said had she not gone to the park office to talk to the manager, she probably wouldn’t have known anything anyway.

“I wish they (park officials) would do a better job communicating,” Wales said.

Tom Horner III, an executive with Edwardsville-based Mid-America Manufactured Housing Communities and Horner and Associates, the trailer park’s owners, said there is no set deadline for residents to be out of the park because the deal with the developers remains in negotiation.

Horner said he understands the park residents’ frustration over the vagueness of the park’s lifespan.

“We’d like to tell our residents what’s going on,” Horner said. “We want to give them peace of mind.”

He said the company sends updates about the deal in the park’s monthly newsletter, but there has

been little new information since the fall.

Horner said his company would pay residents’ moving costs if they want to relocate their trailer to another park in Lawrence.

The company had paid for only two of the about 130 trailers so far, but other residents had begun relocating on their own. In all, no more than 10 residents had relocated. He said he wasn’t sure what the cost to the company for moving residents would be because costs vary based on whether the trailer is a single- or doublewide and on what condition it’s in.

Horner said residents are allowed to stay in the park until the end of the school year so families with children won’t have to relocate until summer.

the lot in Brookwood is smaller than where she lives now, so she might have to leave much of that landscaping.

When she saw other people moving out of the park, she decided to talk to the park manager about what her options for moving were.

“We’ll just have to see what will work,” she said.

Wales said she expected

Kobach asks federal court to settle redistricting fight

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Secretary of State Kris Kobach asked a federal court Wednesday to settle redistricting issues for the Kansas Legislature, as Republican senators who’ve feuded for weeks over new political boundaries scrambled to find a compromise ending their impasse.

Kobach made his request while responding to a lawsuit filed earlier this month in U.S. District Court by Robyn Renee Essex, a Republican precinct committee member from Olathe.

Kobach, the state’s chief elections official, is the only defendant in the case.

Kobach asked that the court have a panel of three judges either impose new lines for state Senate, state House, State Board of Education and congressional districts, saying his office “stands ready to submit valid plans.” Kobach, a former law professor, is a conservative Republican.

Conservative and moderate Republicans in the GOP-controlled Senate have been locked in a bitter dispute over proposals to redraw the chamber’s districts to account for shifts in population over the past decade. Their fight has prevented passage of plans for redrawing any of the state’s other political boundaries, and the impasse threatens to delay the state’s Aug. 7 primary election.

Bishop Seabury gets nearly $400,000 to build safe room

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Morgan Peterson, student, Lawrence “I drink more when I’m in school but now probably only twice a week.”

Rob Fletcher, works in IT, Topeka “None. I don’t like hot drinks.”

A visit by a Bishop Seabury Academy trustee to tornado-ravaged Joplin, Mo., has prompted the school to look into constructing a room built so soundly, it could withstand a missile attack.

The school has received almost $400,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to build a roughly 2,600-squarefoot safe room attached to its gym. The safe room would hold locker rooms and dressing rooms and have a second-floor storage area above it, said Don Schawang, head of school.

The addition would allow for the school to tear down old gym locker rooms

to make space for more lunch room seating. The school also plans to double the size of its parking lot.

The total project is expected to cost more than $1 million. Along with the FEMA money, Bishop Seabury is raising private funds to complete the project and has one private donor putting up a $350,000 challenge grant, Schawang said.

The hope is to have the parking lot done this summer and the shelter finished by late fall.

“Everyone is excited about it, and it is something we want to do very quickly,” Schawang said.

Currently during tornado warnings, students take shelter in inner classrooms and hallways.

The idea for a safe room came from a trustee who visited Joplin with his older son as a first responder after last May’s tornado.

“What he found were meat lockers and safe rooms as the only things still standing,” Schawang said.

The safe room would be for the students and staff at the school in the event of a tornado. The school had looked into opening the safe room up to the surrounding neighborhood during a tornado warning, but FEMA had concerns about the amount of time people who are off campus would need to get there, Schawang said.

BRIEFLY Students begin walk Public invited to to D.C. to protest SLT observe butterflies A group of Kansas University and Haskell Indian Nations University students made it to Brunswick, Mo., on Wednesday evening in their effort to walk from Lawrence to Washington, D.C., to raise awareness about the environmental controversy surrounding the South Lawrence Trafficway.

Thirteen students and a dog left Lawrence on Sunday as part of an event billed as the Trail of Broken Promises. Organizer Millicent Pepion, a Haskell senior, said the walk is designed to raise awareness of the environmental and Native American spiritual issues surrounding the proposed route of the South Lawrence Trafficway, which is slated to run through the Baker Wetlands near the Haskell campus.

Pepion said walkers also are raising awareness of other Native American sites across the country that are endangered. The group plans to deliver draft legislation to lawmakers aimed at providing greater protection to Native American sites.

The route for the SLT project has been challenged in federal court by environmental and Native American groups. The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in January, and a decision in the case is expected at any time.

Group members plan to arrive in Washington, D.C., on July 9.

ON THE RECORD

Several weeks ago, Kansas University ornithologist Mark Robbins spotted tens of thousands of caterpillars at the Fitch Natural History Reservation. Those caterpillars are now emerging as butterflies.

To give the public an opportunity to see them, the KU Natural History Museum and the Kansas Biological Survey are hosting an impromptu field trip to the woodlands just north of the Lawrence Municipal Airport.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, the public is welcome to visit with KU scientists at the Fitch reservation, which is part of the KU field station. The scientists will provide information and guidance about the butterflies and their habitat.

In coming weeks, Robbins expects to see thousands of Hackberry Emperor butterflies at the property. Robbins, who has observed the natural happenings at the field station for years, has never seen so many butterflies so early in spring.

If you’re heading to the site, wear loose-fitting clothing, take water and use insect repellent. Parking at the Fitch reservation and the rest of the field station is limited, so carpooling is encouraged. Visitors can park along East 1600 Road near the entrance to the reservation. Directions to the site can be found online at bit.ly/JeFplD.

Business raids cost K.C. millions in taxes

Kansas, Missouri commit millions in incentives despite budget shortfalls

By David A. Lieb and John Hanna Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, KAN. — The states of Missouri and Kansas are divided here only by the yellow stripe of State Line Road. It’s a single community, but the division is sharp when it comes to the cutthroat business of economic development.

The two states have burned through hundreds of millions of dollars to lure businesses to one side of that stripe or the other in the pursuit of jobs. Yet sometimes, those jobs merely have shifted to different buildings across the border with little real growth for the region’s economy.

Amid ramped-up competition nationwide for “job creation,” Missouri and Kansas have committed more than $750 million of tax incentives and bonds in the past five years for nearly 200 businesses to locate or expand in the Kansas City area, according to state records obtained by The Associated Press. The cross-town battle, among the most intense anywhere, also has drawn in millions more dollars in incentives from cities and suburbs.

The two states sacrificed revenue and incurred debt even during tough budget times that forced cuts to public school districts, universities and social services. Kansas and Missouri each had projected budget shortfalls of around $500 million last year.

Calls for a truce in the business border war have been growing from local business leaders, some lawmakers and even from former officials who once doled out the incentives.

“You get to a point where you have to say we are wasting taxpayer money,” said Greg Steinhoff, who served as Missouri’s economic development direc-

tor from 2005 to 2008. He added: “At a time when you need to value every dollar, it’s silly.”

Yet a truce appears unlikely anytime soon — in part because the states are still scrambling for every job.

“Politically, it sounds good — can’t we all get along? — but competition’s competition,” said Gary Sherrer, who served as Kansas lieutenant governor and commerce secretary about a decade ago.

About three-fourths of the $750 million of tax breaks and bonding approved in the past five years has come from Kansas, though Missouri has given incentives — in smaller amounts — to about twice as many businesses to keep them from leaving or to attract new firms. Some of the companies are new to the Kansas City area.

Kansas winning?

In part because of the glimmer of its big-ticket projects, Kansas appears to be winning the business border battle.

The spoils of success are highly visible in the sprawling Village West district at the junction of Interstates 70 and 435. Anchoring the development is the Kansas Speedway, the NASCAR track the state landed more than a decade ago with a $150 million package of bonds, tax breaks and infrastructure aid after Missouri’s $42 million incentive package failed in the Legislature. The Kansas incentives included bonds with a 30-year repayment life.

Nearby is a new 18,500seat stadium for the Major League Soccer team Sporting Kansas City, built with $145 million of bonds after Kansas lured the franchise away from Kansas City, Mo. Also in the neighborhood is a new office complex for Cerner Corp., a

A threat that’s been hanging over the economy is starting to look a lot less menacing.

Oil and gasoline prices are sinking, giving relief to businesses and consumers who a few weeks ago seemed about to face the highest fuel prices ever.

President Barack Obama’s re-election prospects could also benefit, especially if prices keep falling as some analysts expect. The average U.S. retail gasoline price has dropped 21 cents a gallon to $3.73 since hitting a 2012 peak of $3.94 on April 6.

Missouri and Kansas offered nearly equal incentives of about $85 million for Cerner’s expansion, which is projected to employ an additional 4,000.

Kansas’ willingness to issue bonds backed by tax revenues, which Missouri couldn’t match, helped cinch the deal, said Marc Naughton, Cerner’s executive vice president and chief financial officer.

“From our standpoint, we’re a public company.

We’ve got obligations to our shareholders to find the best opportunity to build a new campus,” he said.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, was unapologetic about so freely giving away public revenue that otherwise would go for schools, police and public services.

Last year, Kansas cut basic aid to public schools by nearly 6 percent.

Companies ask: Does advertising on Facebook pay?

By Peter Svensson and Tom Krisher Associated Press

NEW YORK — Responding to extraordinary demand, Facebook said Wednesday that it would sell more stock in the company’s initial public offering. But ahead of the IPO, a debate emerged between two of the nation’s largest automakers: Does it pay to advertise on the social network?

General Motors, the nation’s largest automaker, said it would abandon Facebook ads after concluding they were ineffective. At the same time, Ford reaffirmed its commitment to Facebook, saying their relationship was stronger than ever.

The direct financial impact of GM’s move is minimal for Facebook, but the decision drew attention to the network’s advertising system, which some observers regard as immature.

In a regulatory filing Wednesday, Facebook said it would add 84 million shares, worth up to $3.2 billion, to the IPO, which is shaping up to be the decade’s hottest.

ing Friday on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “FB”.

Almost half of the additional shares come from investment firms DST Global and Tiger Global.

Goldman Sachs is doubling the number of shares it is selling. Facebook board members Peter Thiel and James Breyer are also selling more shares.

Since all of the additional shares come from insiders and early investors, the company won’t benefit from their sale.

“It certainly does raise the question: How much higher could the stock go if institutions who know the company well think this is a good price to sell?” said Daniel Ernst, an analyst with Hudson Square Research.

On the other hand, he said, investment firms only make money by selling their stakes, and they have bills to pay. So the fact that they are selling more is only a limited indication of their confidence in the company.

The news comes a day after Facebook raised the expected price of the stock to a range of $34 to $38 per share, up from its previous range of $28 to $35.

truce. In the past two years, he has cut funding for public colleges and universities by more than 12 percent.

“I’m going to compete for jobs for our state, I’m not backing up on that,” Nixon said. “But I think that the real long-term solution is how do we get more out of the region as far as joint economic impact?”

States with border cities have been struggling with that question for decades.

New York, New Jersey and Connecticut compete in the nation’s largest metropolitan area. In a southeastern rivalry, Continental Tire moved in 2009 from Charlotte, N.C., to adjoining Lancaster County, S.C., which South Carolina scored as a gain of 300 jobs.

In Kansas City, the most recent cross-town defection came in April, when Teva Neuroscience Inc. announced that it would move its headquarters — and 400 jobs — from Kansas City, Mo., to a site about 4 miles away in suburban Overland Park, Kan. Records provided to the AP show that Missouri offered $11 million of incentives to try to keep Teva. Kansas did not disclose how much it offered, but the Kansas City Star reported the package totaled nearly $31 million.

WASHINGTON — Divisive Republican primaries, an out-of-nowhere GOP retirement in Maine and an unexpectedly competitive race in North Dakota add up to an unpredictable battle for control of the Senate this fall, confounding early forecasts that an era of Democratic rule was inevitably coming to an end.

Adding to the uncertainty, tea party-backed challengers are on the primary ballot against establishment candidates in New Mexico and Texas in the coming weeks, a continuation of an internal Republican struggle that Democrats hope will aid them as it did in 2010.

With the support of two independents, Democrats now hold an effective 5347 majority in the Senate, control that they and President Barack Obama can ill afford to lose. Republicans have repeatedly pushed their own versions of legislation through the House in the past year, only to have it blocked or altered by the Democratic Senate.

Democrats are defending 23 of the 33 Senate seats on the ballot this fall, including the two held by independents.

Republicans must gain four to be assured of a majority when the new Congress convenes in 2013.

Republicans claim Nebraska, North Dakota, Missouri and Montana as the states where they have the best chance to pick up seats, followed by Wisconsin, New Mexico and, possibly, Ohio.

Democrats point to Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada and perhaps Indiana, where veteran Sen. Richard Lugar fell in a primary to a tea partybacked challenger, as opportunities to offset any

“I would say we still have a great opportunity to win a majority,” said Rob Jesmer, the executive director of the Senate Republican campaign organization. He said his party is defending only three seriously contested seats it holds and is mounting strong challenges in 10 or 12. His bottom line: “We feel good about our chances, but it is going to be close.”

Even that is an acknowledgment of a shift that has taken place in the political landscape since the two parties began evaluating their chances for 2012 more than a year ago.

“I just remember when I took this on a year and a half ago, there wasn’t anyone who said this was easy or we were going to get the majority or we even had a chance,” said Sen. Patty Murray, the head of the Democratic counterpart organization.

“The map has changed dramatically” since then, she said.

Still unknown is the full impact of outside groups, including the newly formed super PACs that operate under rules that allow them to accept donations of unlimited size.

Anger, drama at long-awaited genocide trial THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS (AP) — He’s no longer the swaggering general who held Sarajevo “in the palm of his hand” during Bosnia’s 1992-95 war. Yet as his long-awaited genocide trial began Wednesday, Ratko Mladic still managed to reopen old wounds with the flick of his hand.

Hobbled by strokes and wearing a business suit instead of combat fatigues, the frail, 70-year-old defendant had an angry exchange of hand gestures with the families of massacre victims in the public gallery, separated by the bulletproof glass in the courtroom.

“Vulture!” said one woman in the gallery.

Watching the war crimes trial on television in Bosnia, Mevlija Malic added: “Not even an animal would behave like that.”

Mladic is accused of commanding Bosnian Serb troops who waged a campaign of murder and persecution to drive Muslims and Croats out of territory they considered

FORMER BOSNIAN SERB MILITARY COMMANDER Gen. Ratko Mladic, right, and a UN security guard, left, are seen at the start of his trial at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal Wednesday in The Hague, Netherlands. part of Serbia. His troops rained shells and snipers’ bullets down on civilians in the 44-month-long siege of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, and killed 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in July 1995, Europe’s worst massacre since World War II.

“The world watched in disbelief that in neighborhoods and villages within Europe a genocide appeared to be in progress,” prosecutor Dermot Groome said at the U.N. court in The Hague.

Twenty years after the war that left 100,000 dead,

Bosnia remains divided into two ministates — one for Serbs, the other shared

by Bosnian Muslims and Croats — linked by a central government.

Mladic fled into hiding after the war and spent 15 years as a fugitive before international pressure on Serbia led to his arrest last year.

Now he is held in a one-man cell in a special international wing of a Dutch jail and receives food and medical care that would likely be the envy of many in Bosnia.

But the fact that he is jailed and on trial is seen as another victory for international justice and hailed by observers as evidence that — more often than not — war crimes tribunals get their indicted suspects, even if years later.

In another court Wednesday in The Hague, former Liberian President Charles Taylor faced a sentencing hearing after being convicted last month of aiding rebels in neighboring Sierra Leone’s civil war.

That is heartening news for the International Criminal Court, which

has indicted the likes of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for genocide but appears nowhere close to having him arrested.

In a demonstration of Bosnia’s continuing ethnic divide, Mladic’s entrance in court was applauded by people who gathered in the Serb stronghold of Pale to watch the trial on TV. “Mladic is our hero. It’s sad that we see him there,” said Milan Ivanovic, a 20-year-old law student.

Groome told the threejudge panel that Mladic was hand-picked by Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic because of his skills as a military commander, but also “because Karadzic believed he was willing to commit the crimes needed to achieve the strategic goals of the Bosnian Serb leadership.”

He signaled that prosecutors would use Mladic’s own words against him in the trial, drawing on the former general’s wartime diaries, radio intercepts and appearances on television during the war.

Evacs and drills pared near nuke plants ———

Regulators revamp rules quietly

By Jeff Donn Associated Press

Without fanfare, the nation’s nuclear power regulators have overhauled community emergency planning for the first time in more than three decades, requiring fewer exercises for major accidents and recommending that fewer people be evacuated right away.

Nuclear watchdogs voiced surprise and dismay over the quietly adopted revamp — the first since the program began after Three Mile Island in 1979.

Several said they were unaware of the changes until now, though they took effect in December.

At least four years in the works, the changes appear to clash with more recent lessons of last year’s reactor crisis in Japan. A mandate that local responders always run practice exercises for a radiation release has been eliminated — a move viewed as downright bizarre by some emergency planners.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which run the program together, have added one new exercise: More than a decade after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, state and community police will now take part in exercises that prepare for a possible assault on their local plant.

Still, some emergency officials say this new exercise doesn’t go far enough.

These changes, while documented in obscure federal publications, went into effect with hardly any notice by the general public.

Michael Mariotte, director of the anti-nuclear group Nuclear Information and Resource Service, normally tracks such rules very carefully. This

time, he learned of them from an Associated Press reporter.

“Unless there are public interest groups out there pointing to the things these agencies are doing, they generally prefer to be operating in quiet, especially if it’s likely to be controversial,” he said.

“A typical American does not read the Federal Register.”

The Web archives of FEMA and the NRC show no news releases on the changes during December 2011 and January 2012. The revisions took effect Dec. 23, at the peak of the holiday season when Americans tend to focus on lastminute gift shopping and social gatherings.

An AP investigative series in June exposed weaknesses in the U.S. emergency planning program. The stories detailed how many nuclear reactors are now operating beyond their design life under rules that have been relaxed to account for deteriorating safety margins. The series also documented dramatic population growth around nuclear power plants and limitations in the scope of emergency exercises.

The latest changes, especially relaxed exercise plans for 50-mile emergency zones, are being flayed by some local planners and activists who say the widespread contamination in Japan from last year’s Fukushima nuclear accident screams out for stronger planning in the United States, not weaker rules.

FEMA officials say the revised standards introduce more variability into planning exercises and will help keep responders on their toes. The nuclear power industry has praised the changes on similar grounds.

NEW YORK — Using only her thoughts, a Massachusetts woman paralyzed for 15 years directed a robotic arm to pick up a bottle of coffee and bring it to her lips, researchers report in the latest advance in harnessing brain waves to help disabled people.

In the past year, similar stories have included a quadriplegic man in Pennsylvania who made a robotic arm give a high-five and stroke his girlfriend’s hand, and a partially paralyzed man who remotely controlled a small robot that scooted around in a Swiss lab.

It’s startling stuff. But will the experimental brain-controlled technology ever help paralyzed people in everyday life?

Experts in the technology and in rehabilitation medicine say they are optimistic that it will, once technology improves and the cost comes down.

The latest report, which was published online Wednesday in the journal Nature, comes from scientists at Brown University, the Providence VA Medical Center in Rhode Island, Harvard Medical School and elsewhere.

It describes how two people who lost use of their arms and legs because of

BRIEFLY Race, age questions fuel pageant fiasco First came complaints that the winner of the Miss World Fiji pageant looked too Western to represent her country. Then her age came under scrutiny. And now, with the 16-yearold’s crown lost, one of the judges says the contest was rigged from the start.

The Watters pageant has turned into a fiasco in this South Pacific nation of about 900,000. The pageant’s director is avoiding questions as fans of the fallen beauty queen, Torika Watters, flock online to support her.

Watters was crowned Miss World Fiji last month by an international panel of judges led

by New Zealand supermodel Rachel Hunter, winning the opportunity to represent the country at the world competition in China in August.

Soon after, however, dozens of people posted messages on the Miss World Fiji Facebook page questioning whether Watters, who is of mixed racial heritage, represented Fijian beauty or was simply a mirror of Western ideals.

Two weeks after she won, Watters wrote on her Facebook page, pageant director Andhy Blake told her she couldn’t compete for Miss World because she is too young. The international competition requires contestants be at least 17 years old, but Watters said Blake previously assured her “it was fine” because he had received a waiver for her entry from international organizers.

Coffee buzz: Study finds java drinkers live longer

By Marilynn Marchione Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — One of life’s simple pleasures just got a little sweeter. After years of waffling research on coffee and health, even some fear that java might raise the risk of heart disease, a big study finds the opposite: Coffee drinkers are a little more likely to live longer. Regular or decaf doesn’t matter.

The study of 400,000 people is the largest ever done on the issue, and the results should reassure any coffee lovers who think it’s a guilty pleasure that may do harm.

“Our study suggests that’s really not the case,” said lead researcher Neal Freedman of the National Cancer Institute. “There may actually be a modest benefit of coffee drinking.”

No one knows why.

Coffee contains a thousand things that can affect health, from helpful antioxidants to tiny amounts of substances linked to cancer. The most widely studied ingredient, caffeine, didn’t play a role in the new study’s results.

It’s not that earlier studies were wrong. There is evidence that coffee can raise LDL, or bad cholesterol, and blood pressure at least short-term, and those in turn can raise the risk of heart disease.

Even in the new study, it first seemed that coffee drinkers were more likely to die at any given time. But they also tended to smoke, drink more alcohol, eat more red meat and exercise less than noncoffee-drinkers. Once researchers took those things into account, a clear pattern emerged: Each cup of coffee per day

nudged up the chances of living longer.

The study was done by the National Institutes of Health and AARP. The results are published in today’s New England Journal of Medicine.

Careful, though — this doesn’t prove that coffee makes people live longer, only that the two seem related. Like most studies on diet and health, this one was based strictly on observing people’s habits and resulting health. So it can’t prove cause and effect.

But with so many people, more than a decade of follow-up and enough deaths to compare, “this is probably the best evidence we have” and are likely to get, said Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health. He had no role in this study but helped lead a previous one that also found coffee beneficial.

Paralyzed woman uses her mind to control robot arm

By Malcolm Ritter

strokes years before were able to control free-standing robotic arms with the help of a tiny sensor implanted in their brains.

The sensor, about the size of a baby aspirin, eavesdropped on the electrical activity of a few dozen brain cells as the study participants imagined moving their arms. The chip then sent signals to a computer, which translated them into commands to the robotic arms.

The computer was taught how to interpret the brain patterns through practice as the paralyzed participants watched the robot arms move and then imagined that they were moving their own arms the same way.

In one task to test the system, the two participants tried to direct a robot arm to reach out and squeeze foam balls in front of them. The man succeeded in less than half his attempts, but the woman was able to do it about 60 percent of the time.

The woman, Cathy Hutchinson of East Taunton, Mass., was also asked to use the arm to drink the coffee.

That involved picking up the bottle, bringing it to her lips so she could sip from a straw, and putting the bottle back on the table. She succeeded in four out of six tries with the arm, which was specially programmed for this task.

“The smile on her face ... was just a wonderful thing to see,” said Dr. Leigh Hochberg, a researcher with the Providence VA, Brown and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Researchers said in Hutchinson’s case that the results show that the implanted chip still worked after five years, and that her brain was still generating useful signals even though she hadn’t moved her arms in almost 15 years.

The ultimate goal, researchers said, is an implanted device that would reactivate a person’s own paralyzed limbs. Another goal is to operate high-tech prostheses for amputees.

ATLANTA — For the first time in 20 years, U.S. health officials have lowered the threshold for lead poisoning in young children.

The new standard announced Wednesday means that hundreds of thousands more youngsters could be diagnosed with high levels of lead. Too much lead is harmful to developing brains and can mean a lower IQ. “Unfortunately, many, many more parents will be getting bad news,” said Rebecca Morley, executive director of the National Center for Healthy Housing, a Maryland-based nonprofit focused on hazards to kids in homes.

The standard is for children younger than 6.

Recent research persuaded experts and government officials that young children could be harmed from lead levels in their blood that are lower than the old standard.

Edwards doesn’t testify at trial GREENSBORO, N.C. — John Edwards’ team wrapped up their defense Wednesday without calling the ex-presidential candidate, his mistress or daughter to testify, a move experts say was intended to shift focus from a political sex scandal to the nittygritty of campaign finance law.

“The defense wasn’t sexy, but the defense doesn’t want sexy. It wants an acquittal,” said Steve Friedland, a professor at Elon University School of Law and former federal prosecutor who has attended much of the trial.

Experts said Edwards’ bare-bone defense, which lasted just over two days, may be enough to avoid conviction on charges he authorized more than $1 million secretly provided by two wealthy donors to help hide an affair with pregnant mistress Rielle Hunter as he sought the White House in 2008.

The prosecution presented nearly three weeks of evidence and testimony from a former Edwards aide and campaign advisers that painted Edwards as a frequent liar, but showed no direct evidence, he intended to break federal campaign finance laws, the experts said.

Deciding issue?

Gay marriage shouldn’t be the pivotal issue in the 2012 presidential race.

W

hat does it say about the United States and its people when we now are told the upcoming presidential election may be determined by what voters in six or seven so-called swing or pivotal states think about gay marriage?

President Obama has come out and touted his strong personal support of gay marriage. Whether or not the timing of this belief was done to gain votes, gain major fiscal contributions or raise a controversial issue to distract attention from far more serious matters is unknown.

However, many political pundits, both Democratic and Republican, claim there was strong partisan political motivation for Obama’s announcement. They were quick to suggest the gay marriage issue could play a major role in how voters will cast their votes in November.

Aren’t there far more serious issues facing this country, such as the runaway national debt, unemployment and underemployment, immigration, national security, dangerous trouble spots around the globe and this nation’s economy?

Will voters in six or seven swing states end up electing our next president based on which candidate favors gay marriage?

If that is the case, the future of our country is in far greater danger than most citizens realize.

Arts funds The state needs to provide the necessary funding to get its new Creative Arts Industry Commission off to a good start.

G

ov. Sam Brownback has signed the legislation creating a new Creative Arts Industry Commission for the state. The next step is to approve the necessary funding to make the new entity viable.

A merger of the Kansas Arts Commission and the Kansas Film Commission was proposed by Brownback at the beginning of the legislative session. The new commission will become part of the Department of Commerce in keeping with the governor’s plan for its funding to be justified by the jobs and economic benefits created by arts and film endeavors.

Brownback included just $200,000 to fund the new agency, but Kansas legislators from both houses and both parties have agreed to include $700,000 in next year’s budget to allow the new agency to hire staff members and renew arts efforts across the state, particularly in rural areas where funding for such projects can be scarce. Re-establishing a functioning state-funded arts agency also is expected to attract more than $1 million in federal matching grants.

The current legislative deadlock concerning tax cuts and the state budget makes it difficult to know whether even basic state services will be funded next year, but if the governor hopes to restore state support for the arts in a meaningful way, this would be a good way to invest $700,000 on behalf of the state.

Subsidized loans another entitlement WASHINGTON — Bipartisanship, the supposed scarcity of which so distresses the high-minded, actually is disastrously prevalent. Since 2001, it has produced No Child Left Behind, a counterproductive federal intrusion in primary and secondary education; the McCain-Feingold speech rationing law (the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act); an unfunded prescription drug entitlement; troublemaking by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;

“

Taxpayers, most of whom are not college graduates … will pay $6 billion a year to make it slightly easier for some fortunate students to acquire college degrees…” government-directed capitalism from the Export-Import Bank; crony capitalism from energy subsidies; unseemly agriculture and transportation bills; continuous bailouts of an unreformed Postal Service; housing subsidies; subsidies for state and local governments; and many other bipartisan deeds, including most appropriations bills.

Now, with Europe’s turmoil dramatizing the decadence of entitlement cultures, and with American governments — federal, state and local — buckling beneath unsustainable entitlements, Congress is absent-mindedly creating a new entitlement for the already privileged. Concerning the “problem” of certain federal student loans, the two parties pretend to be at daggers drawn, skirmishing about how to “pay for” the “solution.” But a bipartisan consensus is congealing: Certain student borrowers — and eventually all student borrow-

ers, because, well, why not? — should be entitled to loans at a subsidized 3.4 percent interest rate forever.

In 2006, Democrats, trying to capture control of Congress by pandering to students and their parents, proposed cutting in half the statutory 6.8 percent rate on some federal student loans. Holding Congress in 2007, and with no discernible resistance from the compassionately conservative Bush administration, Democrats disguised the full-decade cost of this — $60 billion — by pretending the subsidy, which now costs $6 billion a year, would expire in five years.

The five years are up July 1 and of course the 3.4 percent rate will be extended.

Barack Obama supports this.

So does Mitt Romney, while campaigning against a “government-centered society.”

What would we do without bipartisanship?

The low 6.8 percent rate — private loans for students cost about 12 percent — was itself the result of a federal subsidy.

And students have no collateral that can be repossessed in case they default, which 23 percent of those receiving the loans in question do. The maximum loan for third- and fourth-year students is $5,500 a year. The payment difference between 3.4 percent and 6.8 percent is less than $10 a

month, so the “problem” involves less than 30 cents a day.

The 3.4 percent rate applies only to one category of federal loans, but because the Obama administration has essentially socialized the student loan business, federal loans are 90 percent of student borrowing and this “temporary” rate probably will eventually be made permanent for all federal student loans.

Unsurprisingly, Obama has used this loan issue as an occasion to talk about himself, remembering the “mountain of debt” he and Michelle had when, armed with four Ivy League degrees (he from Columbia, she from Princeton, both from Harvard law), they graduated into the American elite. The Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf notes that if Washington is feeling flush enough to spend another $60 billion on education in a decade, it could find more deserving people to subsidize than a privileged minority of college students who are acquiring credentials strongly correlated with higher-thanaverage future earnings.

The average annual income of high school graduates with no college is $41,288; for college graduates with just a bachelor’s degree, it is $71,552. So the one-year difference ($30,264) is more than the average total in-

Hyper-partisanship leans to right And another one bites the dust.

But Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar did not go quietly. After last week’s defeat in the GOP primary, the veteran legislator issued a remarkable statement warning of the dangers of continued partisanship. Lugar, a conservative who embraces “the Republican principles of small government, low taxes, a strong national defense, free enterprise and trade expansion,” was nevertheless targeted for defeat by conservatives who felt he had strayed from ideological orthodoxy. This, because he compromised with the other party on a few matters — the auto industry bailout, TARP, the confirmation of two Supreme Court justices — that were, he thought, “the right votes for the country.”

“Partisans at both ends of the political spectrum,” said Lugar, “are dominating the political debate in our country. … They have worked to make it as difficult as possible for a legislator of either party to hold independent views or engage in constructive compromise. If that attitude prevails in American politics, our government will remain mired in the dysfunction we have witnessed during the last several years.”

The senator is in the ballpark. But he misstates the problem in two ways.

In the first place, the issue is not partisanship, but hyper-partisanship, a mindset that prioritizes party above country. In the second place, Lugar’s sop to moral equivalence notwithstanding, this is not a problem caused by partisans “at both ends of the political spectrum.”

It was not Democrats who voted down their own deficit reduction resolution, apparently because they didn’t want the president to share credit. It was not a Democratic leader who declared defeating the president his top legislative priority.

No, it was Republicans who did all that. And it is not Democrats who have seen a steady trickle of condemnation and defection by their own appalled members.

That trickle includes Nathan Fletcher, a San Diego mayoral candidate who left the GOP because, “I don’t believe we have to treat people we disagree with as an enemy.”

In their new book, “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks,” Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein argue that the GOP has “become an insurgent outlier — ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.” It is, they note, awkward for mainstream news media to report this because it might be seen as violating their ethos of nonbias or interpreted as blindness to the sins of Democrats.

But it needs reporting, regardless. One cannot fix a problem one will not face.

And the new cultishness of the Republican Party is certainly a problem. It should concern anyone who thinks democracy is best served when political parties offer coherent alternatives and hash them out in the marketplace of ideas — something the GOP no longer does.

Or, as Lugar’s opponent, Richard Mourdock, said in response to Lugar’s statement: “I have a mindset that says bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view.”

debtedness of the two-thirds of students who borrow ($25,250). Taxpayers, most of whom are not college graduates (the unemployment rate for persons with no college: 7.9 percent), will pay $6 billion a year to make it slightly easier for some fortunate students to acquire college degrees (the unemployment rate for college graduates: 4 percent).

Between now and July, the two parties will pretend that it is a matter of high principle how the government should pretend to “pay for” the $6 billion while borrowing $1 trillion this year. But bipartisanship will have been served by putting another entitlement on a path to immortality.

Campaigning recently at Bradley University in Peoria, Romney warned students about their burden from the national debt, but when he took questions, the first questioner had something else on her peculiar mind: “So you’re all for like ‘yay freedom and all this stuff and yay like pursuit of happiness.’ You know what would make me happy? Free birth control.” While awaiting that eventual entitlement, perhaps she can land a subsidized loan so she can inexpensively continue to hone her interesting intellect.

PUBLIC FORUM

Wasted effort To the editor: The May 12 Journal-World has an article on the state Legislature regarding tax cuts, Sharia law and the U.N. Isn’t it clear enough that giving tax breaks to large companies and financial institutions does not create jobs? Does anyone remember that the trickledown theory has not worked?

It is time for the pendulum to swing back toward average working people and time to insist on taxing the wealthy, not the 99 percent.

Later in the article, we learn that the Senate approved a bill banning Kansas courts from basing rulings on foreign laws or legal systems. In Kansas?!

Are there any counties facing a swing toward “foreign” or Sharia law? None? Then why are our esteemed legislators wasting their precious time on such rubbish? Thank you, Sen. Tim Owens, for describing the bill as unnecessary, and thank you, Sen. Francisco, for voting against the bill.

And then there is U.N. Agenda 21. Described as “a covert plot to destroy the American way of life through extreme environmentalism, social engineering and global political control,” it sounds like we must prepare for Armageddon. And the invasion from space aliens is just around the corner. They’re out there! I’m sure!

Baseball series to mark end of Border War

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

From Bud Stallworth’s 50-point night and Tony Sands’ 396-yard day to Todd Reesing’s touchdown pass to Kerry Meier in the snow and February’s 19-point KU comeback in Allen Fieldhouse, the Kansas-Missouri rivalry has seen it all throughout its 100-plus years of existence. This weekend, the Jayhawks and Tigers will

be conference adversaries on the field for the final time.

KU and MU will meet in a three-game, three-day baseball series starting at 6 tonight.

With Missouri headed to the SEC next year, the famed Border War — the oldest rivalry west of the Mississippi River — will be put on hold for who knows how long.

As members of the same conferences for the last several decades, Kansas and

Missouri enjoyed years of intense competition while fans and alumni of each university waged quite a war themselves.

It only seems fitting then that, with KU’s postseason hopes hanging in the balance, the Jayhawks (20-31 overall, 5-15 Big 12) would welcome the hated Tigers (27-24, 9-12) to town one final time with so much on the line.

“We have to have a good weekend to get into the Big

12 tournament,” KU junior Jordan Dreiling said. “And with Missouri coming to town and all the hype surrounding them leaving, we should have a great crowd, and you should see some great baseball. With everything on the line, the Big 12 tournament and Missouri, it kind of all bunches up and makes it even more special.”

Dreiling, who graduated from Free State High and spent his childhood cheer-

ing for the Jayhawks, said he never imagined he would be a part of the last meeting between the Jayhawks and Tigers. In fact, it was not until recently that it even hit him.

“I haven’t really thought too much about it,” he said.

“But it’s kind of crazy to think about playing in the last game against them.

REGIONAL SOFTBALL

A painful p setback

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Anrio Adams, the Associated Press Class 3A basketball player of the year in the state of Washington, should be able to make an immediate, major impact at Kansas University during the 2012-13 season.

So says Seattle Rainier Beach High coach Mike Bethea, whose squad rolled to a 28-2 record and state title in 2011-12, thanks in large part to Adams, a 6-foot-3 senior combo guard who averaged a team-leading 23.0 points and 6.0 assists a game.

“The guy is such a big-time talent. If he does what he’s supposed to do, he’ll be the starting point guard (at KU) next year,” said Bethea, who stands by an earlier statement that Adams reminds him of Miami Heat phenom Dwyane Wade.

“No question about it.

Anybody who sees that kid. He has ... oh my goodness, the kid is so talented,” Bethea added. “He is gifted with the ball. He had three to four double-assist games for us. He knows how to get people the ball in the right position and knows how to score as well.”

Adams, who orally committed to KU on Nov. 19, hasn’t generated much buzz nationally.

That could be because some have questioned whether the No. 98-ranked player in the Class of 2012 will be eligible to play next season.

Adams reportedly did not sign a letter-of-intent Wednesday, the final day off the spring signing period, because he has yet to be cleared academically for a scholarship. Reportedly, his most recent ACT score in coming weeks will be matched with his final semester grades in core courses and a determination on his eligibility finalized. No letter of intent is necessary for a high schooler to play college basketball.

Adams — he began his junior season at Seattle’s Franklin High before transferring to Seattle Garfield and moving on to Rainier Beach for his senior campaign — said Wednesday on Twitter he will arrive at KU on June 28. “Also I Will Be Wearing #2 this Year Jhawkation! I Got a Composite Score of 18 i passed,” he wrote, apparently referring to the score on his most recent standardized test.

On Facebook, Adams wrote: “Passed My ACT I will be Attend KansasUniversity On June28th!! #JAyHawkNAtion.... i got a SCORE OF (18).”

FREE STATE SHORTSTOP A’LIYAH ROGERS IS TENDED TO after she was spiked in the leg in the first inning on a play at second base. The Firebirds suffered a 16-3 loss to Washburn Rural in a Class 6A regional final on Wednesday at Rural.

Shorthanded FSHS suffers 16-3 loss in title game

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — There is no worse time to lose a key player than the postseason.

Already down a starting shortstop for its softball regional championship game Wednesday night on Washburn Rural’s home field, Free State High lost its fill-in shortstop, too, derailing what little momentum the Firebirds had created and contributing to a disastrous first inning.

After junior A’Liyah Rogers hurt her lower-right leg while tagging out the Blues’ Svannah Moore, who was trying to steal second base in the bottom of the first, Rogers lay on her back crying and eventually was helped off the field.

Though FSHS held a tworun lead at the time, what followed was a nine-hit, nine-run bottom of the first for hot-hitting Washburn Rural, which went on capture a Class 6A regional title with a 16-3, fiveinning victory.

Rogers usually starts in right field for Free State (13-8), but coach Lee Ice moved her to shortstop when senior Sam O’Brien fell ill the day before

FREE STATE’S KYLIE COBB STEALS A HOME RUN from Washburn Rural with a catch at the fence. and wasn’t able to suit up for the Firebirds’ regional playoff games. FSHS beat Manhattan, 9-6, in a semifinal earlier in the afternoon.

Though Rogers was re-inserted to the lineup an inning later, at the time her injury seemed to rattle the Firebirds.

Said Ice: “We’re kind of looking around, wondering who’s gonna be next.”

Making the situation worse, eight of the next nine Rural batters reached base with a hit,

and Free State trailed 9-2 by the time the second inning began.

Junior Courtney Parker, whose two-run double in the top of the first gave the Firebirds a fleeting 2-0 lead, said the Blues hit the ball well, and FSHS couldn’t stop them.

“I think we all just had to adjust to A’Liyah getting hurt,” Parker said. “We couldn’t do what we needed to do.”

WRHS (19-3) finished with 16 hits. Alyssa Carney doubled and homered, Hannah Wein-

gartner tripled and doubled, and Sophia Holman smacked another home run.

The Blues could have had another four-bagger in the first had it not been for FSHS freshman center fielder Kylie Cobb, who came in as a defensive replacement when Alex Hill moved to shortstop for Rogers. Abby Breeding knocked a fly ball to deep center field, and Cobb was there to keep it from clearing the fence.

Sophomore pitcher Meredith Morris, who relieved starter Kaley Delg in the third, said the Firebirds were disappointed to finish a win away from the state tournament.

“For the last game, off course it’s always a downer to lose,” Morris said. “But when you look at the rest of the season, we haven’t had a winning record in a while, and we accomplished a lot this year, and we’ll build from this next year and in years to come.”

The Firebirds didn’t have much trouble knocking the ball around the park in their afternoon victory over Manhattan.

Remington Samuels, Hill, Morris, Ariana Frantz and Hannah Whipple each produced two hits.

Jones’ homer in 15th sinks K.C.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Adam Jones homered with one out in the 15th inning, lifting the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.

Jones was hitless in six atbats before connecting for his team-leading 12th home run — nine of them tying the game or giving the Orioles a lead. Jones sent a 2-2 pitch from Nate Adcock (0-1), the fifth Kansas City pitcher, far over the left-field wall.

The Orioles improved to 5-0 in extra-inning road games.

Please see RECRUIT, page 3B Kevin Gregg (1-1) pitched

two hitless innings, walking one, to pick up the victory. Jim Johnson earned his 13th save.

Royals right-hander Felipe Paulino, who was making only his third start after beginning the season on the disabled list with a right forearm strain, held the Orioles to five hits in seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine and walked two.

The Royals’ bullpen had a 1.04 ERA in the past seven games, but relievers Jonathan Broxton and Kelvin Herrera gave up three runs on six hits in the eighth and ninth innings.

Broxton was trusted with a

3-1 lead in the ninth, but blew his second seven in 10 opportunities and his first since April 11 at Oakland. Broxton gave up a solo homer to Wilson Betemit with one out and three singles to produce the tying run. J.J. Hardy’s twoout hit scored pinch-runner Ryan Flaherty to make it 3-3.

Humberto Quintero’s twoout single in the fifth scored Jeff Francoeur, who led offf the inning with a double, and Alcides Escobar, who was hit by a pitch. It was Quintero’s first multi-RBI game with the Royals.

BRIEFLY Ex-Firebird Kukuk arrested

Big 12 track honors Stigler

Former Free State High baseball star Cody Kukuk was arrested for driving under the influence, a misdemeanor traffic offense, Monday morning in Fort Myers, Fla., according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Department.

Kukuk, 19, was booked at 4:44 a.m. and bonded out at 10:25 a.m., a spokesman said.

Kukuk, selected by the Boston Red Sox in the seventh round of last June’s draft, signed an $800,000 bonus in August. Kukuk had signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Kansas University but opted to go directly to professional baseball.

Kansas University hurdler Michael Stigler was named Big 12 Outstanding Male Freshman of the Year on Wednesday. The awards were voted on by league head track-and-field coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own athletes.

Stigler won the first 400-meter hurdle Big 12 title in Kansas history at the Big 12 Outdoor over the weekend in Manhattan.

Stigler, a Canyon, Texas native, set a KU school record and earned an automatic trip to the Olympic Trials later this summer.

The time also makes him the ninth-ranked American this year.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed, hoping for the best. I think he’ll be OK.” Assuming Adams qualifies, KU would have 12 scholarship players for 2012-13. KU has not yet offered Chicago combo guard Milton Doyle, who visited campus Monday and Tuesday. The Jayhawks are awaiting word from former University of South Carolina forward Damontre Harris, who is expected to choose between KU and Florida any day now.

KU only has scholarship space for two of the three of Adams, Harris and Doyle.

“He’s really fired up about being a Jayhawk,” Bethea said of Adams.

“There’s history with his godbrother, Rodrick (Stewart, Rainier Beach High graduate and former KU guard). Rodrick told him how things are down there (at KU). He’s pretty amped about going there.”

Bethea said he can understand why Adams hasn’t inked a letter-ofintent, considering fresh-

Added senior third baseman Zac Elgie, who will return to KU’s lineup after missing two weeks because of a broken finger: “The series and the history between these two is great, and it’s sad that it has to go.”

Although KU’s focus is fixed on taming the Tigers this weekend, the Jayhawks also will be keeping an eye on what happens in Lubbock, Texas, between Texas Tech and Kansas State.

The Jayhawks lead the Wildcats by a half game for the eighth and final spot in the Big 12 standings and trail the Red Raiders by a half game for seventh place. Two victories or more against the Tigers would guarantee KU a spot in Oklahoma City next week, while one win or less would require KU’s getting some help to reach the postseason.

“Obviously, we want to win the series and come out on top of it as the final series played between these two programs,” Price said. “But that’s all secondary. It’s about winning the series.”

men Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor were ineligible a year ago.

“That’s why we’re approaching this here with kid gloves,” Bethea said. “Coach (Bill) Self and those guys have to make sure everything is all lined up in a row before they can physically commit to signing him. It’s one of those things when we learn he’s good to go ... coach wants him to be there.

He wants to be there.”

Adams would be stunned if he’s not contributing for KU this upcoming season.

“He’s not even thinking any other way than being a Jayhawk,” Bethea said.

Milton Doyle, a 6-4 senior from Chicago’s Marshall High, had a great time on his visit to KU. “I had never seen Allen Fieldhouse up close, so that was a cool experience for me,” he told Rivals.com. “Being able to see Allen Fieldhouse just allowed me to see how much history the program has. Everybody already knows what Kansas basketball is and what it’s about, but it was good for me to see some of the history for myself.”

Doyle, who averaged 19 points, eight rebounds, five assists and five steals last season, wants to attend KU, which his mom Lisa calls his “dream school.”

Landscaping LOW MAINTENANCE LANDSCAPE GARDEN TOUR / OPEN HOUSE Low Maintenance Landscape Garden tours (and plant sales) are cancelled this year. We have enjoyed the opportunity to host free garden tours in the past. However, we have decided that it is too expensive to obtain the necessary “special event permit” needed to host garden tours that are open to the public.

We do offer private tours of the garden with a horticulturist to answer plant questions. The cost for the consultation is $50 for up to 4 people for 1 hour. The cost is free if you sign up for our landscape design service starting at $400.

The garden features a large collection of unusual plants, native plants, and “hardy tropicals” Waterfalls, rock outcroppings, flagstone patios, and landscape lighting. The garden was developed for several reasons. It is used to observe plant growth and wildlife through out the different seasons. The garden was also developed as a demonstration garden to show clients plant materials and construction techniques.

The garden serves as a plant experimental testing grounds, to see which new and unusual plants will grow in Lawrence, KS. The tour is also great for DIY people getting ideas. Please remember, you must call to schedule an appoint785-550-5610 ment or 785-865-8341.

LOW MAINTENANCE LANDSCAPE GARDEN TOUR / OPEN HOUSE Low Maintenance Landscape Garden tours (and plant sales) are cancelled this year. We have enjoyed the opportunity to host free garden tours in the past. However, we have decided that it is too expensive to obtain the necessary “special event permit” needed to host garden tours that are open to the public.

We do offer private tours of the garden with a horticulturist to answer plant questions. The cost for the consultation is $50 for up to 4 people for 1 hour. The cost is free if you sign up for our landscape design service starting at $400.

The garden features a large collection of unusual plants, native plants, and “hardy tropicals” Waterfalls, rock outcroppings, flagstone patios, and landscape lighting. The garden was developed for several reasons. It is used to observe plant growth and wildlife through out the different seasons. The garden was also developed as a demonstration garden to show clients plant materials and construction techniques.

The garden serves as a plant experimental testing grounds, to see which new and unusual plants will grow in Lawrence, KS. The tour is also great for DIY people getting ideas. Please remember, you must call to schedule an appoint785-550-5610 ment or 785-865-8341.

Chapter 60

Dear Annie: For the past five years, I’ve been with the most wonderful woman. “Jane” and I plan to marry, but we haven’t set a date because she has two adult daughters who still live at home, and their future plans are unsettled. Her younger daughter, “Trudi,” is 24 and recovering from a debilitating gambling problem. Trudi lost her job, got caught stealing family heirlooms and was arrested for drunk driving. Jane eventually kicked her out. Trudi bounced from place to place, landed at a homeless shelter, met an irresponsible young man and got pregnant.

At that point, Jane made the difficult decision to bring Trudi back home so she could help raise her grandchild.

Things actually worked out. Trudi is sober and no longer gambling, and she has become a trusted member

of the household again.

(The father of the baby is not in the picture.)

Trudi hasn’t had much opportunity to look for a job. Jane works all day and then goes home to take care of her granddaughter. The other daughter is busy with work, school and a serious boyfriend. She does not take much interest in her niece.

In the past 18 months, intimate relations with Jane have steadily declined. Menopause is a factor, but it’s mostly because she has a lot

Shows get a half-life

On television, as in life, May is a season of renewal. Or cancellation.

Or a promise of a half-hearted, tentative renewal that feels a little bit like a death sentence. Ah, May. Earlier this month, in a generous act mixed with respect and pity, Fox announced that its cult sci-fi series “Fringe” would return for a truncated, 13-episode season.

The ratings-starved series still had stories to tell, execs explained.

Since then, “30 Rock” (7:30 p.m., NBC) has received an identical lease on life. It, too, will have 13 episodes next year to put its affairs in order for its final, seventh season. ‘‘Community” (7 p.m., NBC) was also renewed for a 13-episode season. To put that in perspective, the series will bow out tonight with three original helpings. That’s nearly a quarter of a “season” in one night!

To no one’s surprise, “The Office” will also return on NBC, as will “Parks and Recreation.” Occasionally seen on Thursdays, NBC’s harried-parent comedy “Up all Night” has also been renewed.

Other shows wrapping up tonight include “Rules of Engagement” (7:30 p.m., CBS), a series that has popped up and disappeared so many times that most viewers forget it’s even on the schedule. Yet that seems to have been its strategy for survival. CBS renewed most of its existing series, including “Person of Interest” (8 p.m.) and “The Mentalist” (9 p.m.) months ago. And just last week, it announced the end of “CSI: Miami,” ‘‘Unforgettable” and “Rob.” The fate of “Rules” was not disclosed. So you might as well call it “Not Dead Yet!” Safely renewed, “Grey’s Anatomy” (8 p.m., ABC) follows in the time-honored tradition of ending a season by putting most of the major characters in mortal peril.

ABC’s “Missing” (7 p.m.) will not return next season, but “Scandal” (9 p.m.) will.

Tonight’s finales O On three episodes of “Community” (NBC): saving Pierce’s inheritance (7 p.m.), challenging Chang (9 p.m.), legal wrangling (8:30 p.m.).

O Becca battles her past to save her son on “Missing” (7 p.m., ABC).

O A victimized therapist becomes a “Person of Interest” (8 p.m., CBS).

O Jane bottoms out in a Las Vegas club on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS).

on her plate. She hasn’t been to my house in months, and when I’m at hers, I try to care for the baby so Jane can sit down and rest. I feel like our relationship is slipping away. We’ve talked briefly about it, but I simply want more than Jane can give. Is this just a rough patch, or is this our new relationship? — Too Much Dear Too Much: You sound like a good guy who is trying to help with a stressful situation. Raising a baby is exhausting, and we are certain that Jane appreciates your patience and assistance. Instead of pressuring her for intimacy, ask what she thinks you can do to improve your relationship.

She will always have two daughters and a grandchild. Decide whether you can handle that.

SIT ON IT By Lucky Barrett

to “Jim in Peoria,” who says his wife won’t let him help around the house.

Jim is involuntarily unemployed, and even though money is apparently not a problem, he needs to feel that he is valued. You should have suggested that he find a nonprofit organization that needs volunteers. He might be able to get work that is related to whatever he did in his previous career, and this might even lead to a paying job down the line. In any case, it is a winwin-win: Jim wins, the nonprofit wins, and his wife wins by having a happier husband and fewer arguments. — Been There

(f) Moving: No structure that is devoted in whole or in part to a nonconforming use and no conforming use of land shall be moved in whole or in part of any distance whatever, to any other location on the same or any other lot, unless the entire structure and the use thereof or the use of land shall thereafter conform to all regulations of the zoning district in which it is located after being so moved. (g) Change in Use: If no structural alterations are made, any nonconforming use of a structure, or structure and premises, may as a special use be changed to another nonconforming use provided that the Board of Zoning Appeals either by general rule or by making findings in the specific case, shall find that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than the existing nonconforming use. In permitting such change, the Board of Zoning Appeals may require appropriate conditions and safeguards in accordance with Sections 9.2(c). Once a change is made to a more appropriate use, the use shall not be returned to the original use or a less appropriate use. (h) Abandonment or Discontinuance: When a nonconforming use is discontinued or abandoned for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, such use shall not thereafter be reestablished or resumed, and any subsequent use or occupancy of such land shall comply with the regulations of the zoning district in which such land is located.

(5) Nonconforming Accessory Uses: No use which is accessory to a principal nonconforming use shall continue after such principal use shall cease or terminate.

(6) Nonconforming Residential Uses: Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.4(c) and 8.4(d), any structure which is devoted to a residential use and which is located in a business or industrial district, may be remodeled, extended, expanded, and enlarged; provided that after any such remodeling, expansion or enlargement, such structure shall not be used to accommodate a greater number of dwelling or lodging units than such structure accommodated prior to any such work.

(7) Nonconforming Mobile Home or Manufactured Home Parks: See Section 4 of these regulations.

(8) Status of Special Uses: (a) Status of Existing Special Uses: Where a use exists on January 22, 2001, the effective date of these regulations, and is permitted by these regulations only as a special use in the zoning district in which it is located, such use shall not be deemed to be a nonconforming use, but shall, without further actions, be deemed a lawful conforming use in such zoning district. Such special use shall not be enlarged or expanded unless a special use application is approved as set out in Article 10 of these regulations. (b) Status of Future Special Uses: Any use for which a special use permit has been issued, as provided in these regulations, shall not be deemed to be nonconforming.

(9) Nonconforming Parking Lots: (a) Authority to Continue: Any lawful existing nonconforming parking lot may continue so long as otherwise lawful. (b) Enlargement and Repair: Any parking lot may be repaired; and if enlarged, by more than 33 percent, must be paved with a hard surface for all parking areas, and if enlarged by greater than 50 percent, must add curb and gutter to serve all parking areas.

Section IV. That Section 9 16-901(3) of the Code of the City of Eudora, Kansas is hereby adopted as follows: 16-901 Board of Zoning Appeals (3) Procedure.
