City opts against Abe & Jake’s purchase

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A rumored expansion of Lawrence City Hall into a renovated building along the Kansas River won’t happen after all.

Mayor Bob Schumm confirmed the city has been in negotiations for about four months to purchase the Abe & Jake’s Landing building immediately east of City Hall, but Schumm said the city ended those negotiations in

recent days.

The deal would have come with an interesting twist: The city would have been buying a building it al- Schumm ready owns.

The 19th century building and property came under the ownership of the city when it purchased land in the area for City Hall. But during the

1990s, the city granted Lawrence businessman Mike Elwell a low-cost, long-term lease on the building, in exchange for his making about $2 million worth of improvements to what had become an eyesore. Elwell rents out the Abe & Jake’s space for weddings and other events.

Elwell’s lease on the building runs through 2087. A deal would have involved the city buying Elwell out of that lease.

The city was interested in

the former industrial building as a site to house a consolidated office for the city’s Planning and Development Services Department, which is now split between two locations.

“We had some architects look at it to see what it would take to get it in a usable condition,” Schumm said of the building. “The information came back, and the bottom line is we just decided not to Please see CITY, page 5A

TOPEKA — Democratic legislative leaders said Tuesday that they will introduce two measures in January that would limit Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s power and the time he devotes to pet issues such as immigration.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, said he plans to submit a bill that would restrict statewide elected officials and their employees to 10 paid hours per week spent Kobach on non-official duties. He said Kobach should be concentrating on the secretary of state’s office, not working with other states on immigration issues.

Cathy Barfield walked into the sanctuary at Community Bible Church in west Lawrence Wednesday, probably thinking it was just another day of working with home-schooled children, doing music and art activities and networking with home-schooling parents.

Instead, she was showered with cards, songs, hugs and plenty of thanks from the stu-

dents and families she’s been supporting since she began home schooling her three children, all of whom are now grown and out of college.

The biggest gift was a scrapbook full of photographs and other reminders of all the time she has spent coordinating The Learning Co-op, a resource and support network for local home-school families.

TOPEKA — Kansas’ “Big Three” in the Statehouse are closely connected to the American Legislative Exchange Council, a controversial group that has been under fire for pushing a corporate agenda in state legislatures nationwide.

Newly elected Senate President Susan Wagle, RWichita, and newly elected House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, are members of ALEC’s board of directors.

In 2010, Merrick was Brownback named ALEC’s legislator of the year, and Wagle served as the group’s national chairwoman in 2006.

KENNETH CAPLE Kenneth Caple, 61, of Ottawa died November 30.

Services will be Dec. 6. 2:00 PM at the Centeral Cemetery, Pomona. Full obituary is at www.lamb-roberts.com.

TERESA BEATRICE HEALEY VOSSLER Teresa Beatrice Healey Vossler, 101, died at home in Lawrence on December 2, 2012. Known as Tess to her family, she was born in Wellsville, NY, on November 17, 1911, the third child and only daughter of Edmund James Healey and Annabelle Harris Healey.

Teresa lived in Wellsville for the first forty years of her life, graduating from high school in 1929 where she was an active member of many clubs, holding leadership positions in several. After graduation, she worked as a nurse’s aide and later was a buyer for a local department store.

In 1950, Teresa married Roy Vossler whose oil production business brought them to Osawatomie, KS, in 1951.

With the arrival of three children in three years, initial homesickness soon turned into a busy and rewarding life of family, new friendships, and community involvement.

Teresa opened Kiddie Korner Nursery School in 1968, the first preschool in Osawatomie, which she owned and operated for the next 25 years. Retiring at the age of 79, it was work she loved, and it kept her young.

She served on the Osawatomie Library Board and the local United Fund Committee for many years. She was a member of the Miami County Retired Teachers’ Association, E.H.U., and the American Contract Bridge League. She was an active member and frequent officer of the Monday Club, an affiliate of G.F.W.C., serving as chairman of their District Music Auditions for 11 years. Upon her husband’s death in 1971, Teresa was appointed to fulfill the remainder of his term on the Osawatomie School

report, “Rich States, Poor States,� which is written by economist Art Laffer, whom Brownback hired as a $75,000 consultant on Kansas’ tax-cutting plan.

Brownback has also signed into law ALECinspired bills, such as the Health Care Freedom Act, which prohibits the government from interfering “with a resident’s right to purchase health insurance or with a resident’s right to refuse to purchase health insurance.� The law was aimed at blocking the new federal health reform law, which ALEC opposes.

ALEC describes its mission as promoting free markets, limited government, federalism and individual freedom “through a nonpartisan public-private partnership of America’s state legislators, members of the private sector, the federal government and general public.�

But its critics, most notably the Center for Media and Democracy, say ALEC’s goal is to get state legislatures to adopt legislation for corporate interests, including Kansasbased Koch Industries, which helps fund ALEC. ALEC has been at the center of controversy for pushing laws benefiting corporations, voter ID requirements and so-called “stand your ground� laws, which were cited in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Florida teen. In the past year, some of ALEC’s largest corporate members have broken ties with the organization.

In Kansas, approximately two dozen legislators, all Republicans, have been active in ALEC, going to its meetings, serving in leadership positions on its board and returning to Kansas with model legislation that they then start pushing through the legislative process. Most of

Board. She remained a member of that Board and an education advocate for the next 16 years.

Teresa was a storyteller, whose quick wit and lively sense of humor always made for a memorable conversation, even in her final years. She enjoyed entertaining, travel, playing the piano, a good book, a tricky crossword, a trip to the opera, a challenging bridge game, and pie ala mode. She had a true gift for friendship and a natural ability to connect with people of all ages. But most of all, Teresa loved her family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Roy, her daughter, Cathy, and three brothers, George, Edmund, and Robert Healey.

Teresa is survived by her son, Steve, and daughter, Sue, both of Lawrence; her son-inlaw, Enrique Dos Santos, and seven grandchildren, Steven, Alex, Peter, Craig, Phillip, Merritt, and Jillian Dos Santos, all of Columbia, MO. A private family burial will be held in Osawatomie. A memorial celebration will follow in the spring. Contributions in her memory may be made to the Roy and Teresa Vossler Scholarship, Osawatomie High School, 1200 Trojan Drive, Osawatomie, KS, 66064 or Douglas County VNA, 200 Maine Street, Lawrence, KS, 66044.

those expenses have been funded through ALEC, which collects money from corporations.

Wagle and Merrick have been longtime participants in ALEC and defenders of its work. On Monday, shortly after being elected the next House speaker, Merrick said simply, “I don’t have an agenda.�

And Wagle pooh-poohed the idea that a pent-up avalanche of conservative policies were about to flood the Kansas Legislature. “We’re going to take fresh looks at all issues,� she said.

Wagle said her main concern for the session that starts Jan. 14 is fixing the budget, which faces a $328 million revenue shortfall because of tax cuts approved earlier this year that were supported by Wagle and Merrick and signed into law by Brownback.

That law will decrease individual income tax rates for 2013, with the top rate dropping to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent, and exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes.

One of the major issues confronting legislators as they face a revenue shortfall is whether to allow a temporary sales tax increase to sunset as scheduled.

Brownback hasn’t ruled out proposing to keep that temporary increase in place to help shore up the budget.

The sales tax is 6.3 percent, but it is scheduled to drop to 5.7 percent in July. The state boosted the tax in 2010 — before Brownback took office — to protect public schools and social services spending, but pledged that most of the increase would be temporary.

Wagle said she hasn’t ruled out keeping the tax at its current rate. “I would like to try and get by without doing that.

I don’t know if it’s possible,� she said. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Kobach, a Republican, has said that he only works on immigration measures in his “spare time.� But Hensley questioned whether an elected official who is doing his or her job properly would have any spare time. “He’s trying to do two jobs at once, but we need a full-time secretary of state,� said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, of Lawrence.

Messages left for Kobach were not immediately returned.

But he told The Wichita Eagle that the Democrats’ proposal to limit what he does in his free time is “ridiculous.� “If the secretary of state golfed a lot and the Legislature didn’t like that, would they limit him to three rounds of golf per week?�

Kobach said. “It’s silly.�

The measure Democrats want to see enacted would apply to the governor, secretary of state, attorney general, insurance commissioner and the governor’s Cabinet, including agency secretaries. It does not apply to the lieutenant governor because governors in the past have frequently held a Cabinet position, such as head of commerce or administration.

Kobach, a former constitutional law professor, has gained national notoriety for his work with Arizona, Alabama and others to draft immigration laws.

A second bill would require county commissions in the state’s four largest counties to hire election commissioners, to address problems arising from the general election.

It is aimed at preventing Kobach from appointing those commissioners.

Democrats said the problems that led to counting votes during the November general election point to the need for having a person who is accountable to the voters for getting it right.

Elected county clerks run elections in 101 of the state’s 105 counties, but the secretary of state appoints election commissioners in the four most populous ones, those being Johnson, Sedgwick, Shawnee and Wyandotte.

Kobach has appointed the commissioners in Sedgwick and Shawnee since he took office in 2010.

Kobach said having the secretary of state appoint the election commissioners makes them more accountable.

Both measures proposed by Democrats have been introduced in recent years but have failed to advance.

Republicans hold a majority in both chambers.

Chronic migraine sufferer gets chance to relive a Christmas long past

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

Christmas is coming twice this year for Eudora resident Tammy Rome. Not only will she celebrate the holiday on Dec. 25, but, thanks to the Rewrite Your Day campaign, today she’ll have the chance to relive a previous Christmas that she missed because of chronic migraine.

Rome began having migraines when she was about 5 years old.

As she aged, her migraines increased. By age 30 she was diagnosed with chronic migraine, meaning she suffered from migraines and headaches at least 15 days a month, many of them lasting for at least four hours.

“I was either recovering from or getting ready to have another attack Please see CITATION, page 4A almost constantly,” Rome said.

The Rewrite Your Day campaign, sponsored

by Allergan Inc., the National Headache Foundation and HealthyWomen, is an initiative to raise awareRome ness of chronic migraine and its symptoms. The campaign had a contest to give chronic migraine sufferers a chance to relive a day they missed because of a migraine.

Rome entered the contest in December 2011 and was one of 15 chronic migraine sufferers to get to have a special day rewritten.

“I missed out on the opportunity to spend time with family and enjoy their company,” Rome said. “I’ve missed work, but when it comes to what really matters,

it’s the time that I’ve missed with my family that is probably the toughest loss to take with migraines.”

Mindy Weiss, owner of Mindy Weiss Party Consultant and coordinator of the events for the winners of Rewrite Your Day, planned a winter wonderland Christmas for Rome, complete with a cookie exchange, decorations and extended family. Rome missed Christmas with her family in 2007 because of a migraine, and it was a memory she wished she had.

In 2011, Rome was finally able to find a team of specialists who have helped reduce her migraines.

State legislators ought to be warned about both food and guns, Lawrence city commissioners determined at their weekly meeting.

Commissioners on Tuesday night crafted a draft version of the city’s legislative priorities statement, including language that urged the state to tread carefully in making changes to the state sales tax on food purchases, and objecting CITY to potential COMMISSION legislation that would allowed concealed carry permit holders to bring a weapon into city buildings.

The food issue actually was the hotter of the two.

Lawrence — urging the city to soften its stance on an idea related to eliminating the sales tax on groceries.

The city’s first draft version of the legislative priorities statement said the city “strongly opposes� efforts to eliminate the sales tax on groceries.

Staff members estimated it could cost the city about $2 million a year in lost sales tax revenues.

But commissioners were told by several audience members that the sales tax on groceries was the single most detrimental tax against the poor. “It is obvious the governor probably sees me as a drag on the economy,� said Lawrence resident Melinda Henderson, who told commissioners she earns about $9,000 a year in wages. “But I don’t think it is my fault that there aren’t enough good jobs in Lawrence ... “I don’t really care what the governor thinks, but I do want to feel welcome in the community I live in, and this particular direction to the legislative delegation does not make me feel welcome.�

Commissioners ultimately agreed to change the wording to indicate that the city was opposed to any change in the sales tax on groceries unless the Legislature provides a “guaranteed source of replacement revenue.�

Staff members also were directed to add language urging the state to reinstate a program to rebate sales taxes on groceries to residents below certain income levels. “We all know people are going through a tough time trying to make ends meet,� City Commissioner Mike Amyx said. “This could mean a lot to a lot of people during these economic times.�

Francisco after the meeting said she didn’t think it was likely that any legislation to remove the sales tax on groceries would be successful this year because of the state’s already bleak revenue outlook.

But the issue of changes to the state’s concealed carry law may be a different matter. Rep. Forrest Knox, R-Altoona, who will take a seat in the state Senate when the new session begins, has said he’ll introduce legislation that would allow concealed carry permit holders to bring their weapons into city halls, university classrooms and other such structures if those buildings don’t have devices such as metal detectors or other security measures.

Francisco said the more conservative makeup of the Kansas Senate makes it more likely the bill can win approval in both houses this session.

Lawrence Mayor Bob Schumm said he wants a specific statement in the city’s legislative priorities statement opposing any effort to allow concealed weapons into City Hall and other city buildings. “I’m very concerned about concealed carry in this room,� Schumm said. “It seems pretty explicit to me that it is going to be a debated bill, and I want to be equally explicit that I don’t like the idea.�

Commissioners did not take a formal vote on the legislative priorities statement, but none of the commissioners objected to Schumm’s statements.

In other news, commissioners:

Gave preliminary approval to a plan to add a center turn lane and two bike lanes to the stretch of Ninth Street between Tennessee and Kentucky streets.

The project originally had drawn opposition from local attorney Todd Thompson because the project would eliminate seven on-street, public parking spaces in front of his law office building.

But commissioners on Tuesday said they favored an option that would widen a portion of the street about eight feet to the south, which would allow for three public parking spaces to remain near Thompson’s building.

The widening would cost the city an extra $16,550, but commissioners on a 4-1 vote said they would approve the extra spending if Thompson donates the needed easement for the road. Thompson said he wanted to see the exact location of how close the project would be to his building, but he said he was open to donating the property.

The project allows for both an eastbound and westbound bike lane to be located on the one block stretch of street. The eastbound lane currently won’t connect to another bike lane, but commissioners heard from several members of the local cycling community who said it was important to build the bike lane now while the city had the opportunity.

Commissioner Mike Dever voted against the plan, opting instead for a design that eliminated one of the two eastbound lanes of traffic for vehicles.

Approved a $270,000 emergency purchase of a biosolids conveyor belt for the city’s sewer treatment plant. The conveyor needs to move about 3 tons of biosolids, a byproduct of the sewage treatment process, per day but recently has been malfunctioning. City crews are now having to make repairs on a daily basis to keep the belt operational. A new system is expected to be in place in about nine weeks.

getary constraints and that it makes sense from a “cost-effective standpoint� to go after the employers. “If nobody is employing undocumented workers, then we don’t have an illegal immigration issue to deal with,� he said in a phone interview.

McCalla operates six McDonald’s restaurants in Wichita. Investigators found that managers at five of those six restaurants were unlawfully in the country and that they in turn hired other undocumented workers, Grissom said.

The government estimated that between 20 and 30 illegal immigrants worked at the restaurants between May 2009 and September 2012.

The $100,000 forfeiture represented the “unjust enrichment� the corporation had garnered as a result of hiring illegal immigrants at a reduced rate and not having to payroll taxes such as Social Security, Medicare and other withholding taxes, Grissom said.

McCalla’s attorney, Lee Thompson, said the company has already paid the fines, and “is a good corporate citizen and accepts responsibilities for the acts of its employees.�

He noted that the criminal charge was “very limited� to one incident.

When the firm was first charged in October, McCalla President Roy McCalla said the incident did not reflect his company’s policies.

But the U.S. attorney’s office said in a statement Tuesday that any attempt to minimize or excuse this kind of conduct is unacceptable. We know these practices are widespread, and investigations similar to the McCalla case are under way.�

Grissom declined to say how many such investigations were under way but said they were in both urban and rural settings.

McCalla is the second Kansas company this year to be prosecuted for knowingly employing illegal immigrants.

In September, the U.S.

attorney’s office charged the owners of two Clarion hotels — one in Kansas City and the other in Overland Park — after finding half of their employees were illegal immigrants.

The owners, a suburban Kansas City couple, face charges including conspiracy to harbor undocumented aliens for personal gain. If convicted, they could lose their two hotels, bank accounts and spend decades in prison.

Grissom said going after business owners is more effective than showing up at a job site and arresting illegal immigrant workers, which he said usually results in other undocumented workers replacing them in a few days. “So the most cost-effective message we can send out is, if you as an employer are knowingly hiring undocumented persons, then we are going to pursue you,� Grissom said. “This is going to send a very loud and clear message.�

Man sentenced to 25 months City in prison for home burglary

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A 31-year-old Lawrence man was sentenced Tuesday to 25 months in prison for an attempted burglary in Lawrence last summer.

Originally, Ronald Kenneth Brooks Jr. had been charged with two burglary counts for allegedly entering two Lawrence homes while residents slept on July 31. One of those counts was dismissed in August because of a lack of evidence.

Brooks pleaded guilty in October to one count of attempted aggravated burglary as part of a plea deal.

The crime Brooks pleaded to occurred on Woodlawn Drive, south-

east of Peterson Road and Princeton Boulevard.

A resident in the home woke and found B r o o k s Brooks in the home. Brooks ran from the house, and an officer in the area later apprehended him near Deerfield School.

According to court records and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation offender registry, Brooks received probation for a 2004 lewd and lascivious conviction in Douglas County. Brooks also spent about four years in federal prison after pleading

guilty in 2008 to aggravated assault on a U.S. Postal Service carrier in Topeka in 2008 and criminal possession of a gun.

Brooks could be sentenced up to an additional two years in federal prison for violation of his parole from the 2008 assault.

As part of the plea agreement, Brooks agreed to cooperate with police and provide information about other burglaries he was involved with. According to prosecutors at sentencing, Brooks provided information that closed numerous other unsolved burglaries. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

Two murderers and a sex offender will be eligible for parole in January, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.

The public has several opportunities in December to provide input on these inmates who committed crimes in Douglas County and who are eligible for parole:

Donald Bruce, 50, is serving up to a life sentence on a 1992 first-degree murder conviction from Douglas County

for the beating death of a 23-month-old boy, who was the son of Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend at the time.

Bruce was passed over for parole before in 2007 and 2011.

Robert L. Oatis, 45, was convicted of aiding a felon and burglary in 1986, as well as attempted rape in 1990 in Douglas County.

Gregory H. Thomas, 53, was sentenced to 10 years to life in the 1987 stabbing death of 24-yearold Stephen R. Howell during a fight at an East Lawrence mobile home.

The public comment sessions for the three in-

mates are:

10 a.m. to noon Dec. 10, City Hall, One McDowell Plaza, 701 N. Seventh St., Kansas City, Kan.

11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 11, Finney State Office Building, 230 E. William St., Wichita.

A 27-year-old Auburn, Kan., was charged Tuesday with numerous crimes after police say he fled from law enforcement Monday afternoon.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley said a truck stolen from Shawnee County and driven by Steven Matthew Rule eluded

a Douglas County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy about 4 p.m.

The vehicle was located driving south on North Second Street. After a pursuit, Rule abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot, before being arrested in the 1100 block of Rhode Island Street about 4:30 p.m., ac-

cording to police.

On Tuesday, Rule was charged with numerous traffic offenses, including fleeing and eluding police, as well as theft and drug possession.

Rule is being held on a $20,000 bond. His next court hearing is Dec. 11.

tian schools in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were both good options, but we just felt like by teaching at home I could share our values and give them the oneon-one attention that they probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in a group setting,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Long after her own daughters graduated, and then went on to college, Barfield has stayed active in helping other Lawrence home-school families through the Learning Coop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a once-a-week get-together for families,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t replace what they do at home. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a chance to socialize with other home-schoolers who are like-minded and to do fun activities you probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do at home.â&#x20AC;?

While there are no re-

liable statistics about the number of home schools nationally or in Kansas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where they are classified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonaccredited private schoolsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; state officials say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been growing in popularity in recent decades. And that has helped spawn a burgeoning industry for companies that supply home-schoolers with books, curricula and learning material to go along with their studies.

Barfield says thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the biggest changes sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen in homeschooling in the 20 years sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been active. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a catalog of this one company, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about this thick,â&#x20AC;? she said, holding her fingers about three inches apart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just stuff that you can order to supplement your home school.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where did you get all these pictures?â&#x20AC;? she asked, leafing through the scrapbook.

The surprise reception Wednesday was held to thank Barfield for her service and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Learning Co-op, a group of about 15 local home-school families who gather at the church for arts, crafts and other group activities and to share ideas and resources with one another.

Barfield said she joined the home-school movement when her oldest daughter, Betsy, now 29, was school age and she went to check out both the public schools and Chris-

Currently, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning division has its offices in City Hall. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building permit and codes enforcement division, however, has its offices east of City Hall in rented space in the former Riverfront Mall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is owned by members of the Simons family, which also owns the Journal-Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent company.

The city long has wanted to combine the two offices to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-stop shopâ&#x20AC;? for builders and developers that do projects in the city. Schumm, though, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure when progress may be made on that effort. He said the city currently is not looking at any other space for the combined office.

Elwell said Tuesday that he has another potential buyer for the building.

He said it is likely a new owner would be most interested in maintaining the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use as an event venue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just continuing on with the private event space probably is the best use for it,â&#x20AC;? Elwell said.

Elwell, though, said he was intrigued by the possibility of the city using the building for office space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city has a lot of things on its agenda for spending money right now, and I think this just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit,â&#x20AC;? Elwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand, but I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up regretting it because it is one of the few properties that is really adjacent to City Hall.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

By John Hanna and Tamara Lush

the â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Bloodâ&#x20AC;? case at LJWorld.com

OSPREY, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At the end of 1959, two families of four â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one in Kansas, the other in Florida â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were brutally murdered.

Two men were arrested, charged and executed in the Kansas case, and writer Truman Capote captured the horrific tale in his iconic true crime book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Blood.â&#x20AC;?

The Florida murder of two parents and two children was investigated by dozens of detectives over the years, but it remained unsolved. Now, a detective is trying to prove that the men who were executed in Kansas were also responsible for the Florida slayings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like putting together a jigsaw puzzle,â&#x20AC;? said Sarasota County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detective Kimberly McGath, who began re-investigating the murders of Cliff and Christine Walker and their two young children in 2007.

McGath said there is evidence that points to two men who are now in a Kansas cemetery for executed prisoners: Perry Smith and Richard Hickock.

DNA recovered from semen found on Christine Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underwear could be compared to the remains of Smith and Hickock, McGath said.

Finding links in cold cases Linking long-dead killers to unsolved homicides is becoming more common.

In Chicago, the Cook County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department is trying to find out whether serial killer John Wayne Gacy could be responsible for any more deaths. Officials there are entering murderersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; DNA profiles into a national database shared with other law enforcement agencies. The move is based on an ironic legal distinction: The men were technically listed as homicide victims themselves because they were put to death by the state.

Authorities hope to find DNA matches from blood, semen, hair or skin under victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fingernails that link the longdead killers to the coldest of cold cases. And they want investigators in other states to follow suit and submit the DNA of their own executed inmates or from decadesold crime scenes.

Kansas officials said this week they have talked with Florida detectives and would continue to help if the Florida detectives file an exhumation petition in court.

Hickock and Smith are buried on a gently sloping hill at the Mount Muncie Cemetery in Lansing,

THE GRAVES OF PERRY EDWARD SMITH, RIGHT, and Richard Eugene Hickock sit on a sloping hillside at the Mount Muncie Cemetery on Tuesday in Lansing, Kan. Smith and co-defendant Richard Eugene Hickock, the two men who were the subjects of Truman Capoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic book â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Blood,â&#x20AC;? were executed in April 1965 at the Kansas State Penitentiary for the killings of four members of the Herbert Clutter family in Holcomb, Kan. A Florida detective wants to exhume their bodies because he believes thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence linking them to similar murders of a Florida family.

Kan. The state of Kansas interred its executed criminals there when their families didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t claim the bodies. There are about 28,000 graves.

Cemetery manager Gene Kirby said the Hickock and Smith graves regularly draw visitors, particularly around the anniversary of the Clutter slayings or when â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Bloodâ&#x20AC;? receives media attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a fair amount of people come out and ask where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buried, want to come down and actually see the graves,â&#x20AC;?

Kirby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything in the news that kind of piques the interest.â&#x20AC;?

Walker killings The possibility that the pair was involved in the Florida murderers has been considered since 1960, according to records released by the Sarasota Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office.

After Smith and Hickock killed the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kan., on Nov. 15, 1959, they fled to Florida in a stolen car. They were spotted at least a dozen times from Tallahassee to Miami and points in between.

On Dec. 18, the two men checked into a Miami Beach motel and checked out the next day.

That day, the Walker family was killed at their

GOP opposition downs U.N. disability treaty

By Jim Abrams Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Led by Republican opposition, the Senate on Tuesday rejected a United Nations treaty on the rights of the disabled that is modeled after the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act. With 38 Republicans casting â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? votes, the 6138 vote fell five short of the two-thirds majority needed to ratify a treaty.

The vote took place in an unusually solemn atmosphere, with senators sitting at their desks rather than milling around the podium. Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole was in the chamber to support the treaty.

The treaty, already signed by 155 nations and ratified by 126 countries, including Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia, states that nations should strive to ensure that the disabled enjoy the same rights and fundamental freedoms as their fellow citizens.

Republicans objected to taking up a treaty during the lame-duck session of the Congress and warned that the treaty could pose

Dole returns to Senate to back treaty WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Frail and in a wheelchair, former Sen. Bob Dole was a startling presence on the Senate floor as lawmakers voted on a treaty on disabilities.

The 89-year-old Republican was in the well of the Senate on the GOP side of the chamber, his wife, Elizabeth, nearby. Dole recently had been hospitalized but came to the Senate to push for the treaty.

Sen. John Kerry a threat to U.S. national sovereignty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not support the cumbersome regulations and potentially overzealous international organizations with anti-American biases that infringe upon American society,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Jim Inhofe, ROkla.

He and other opponents were not swayed by support for the treaty from some of the GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prominent veterans, including the 89-year-old Dole, who was disabled during World War II; Sen. John McCain, who also

acknowledged Doleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence said the former Kansas lawmaker and Dole World War II veteran was in the Senate to advocate for the treaty and ensure that disabled American veterans are treated with dignity and respect. suffered disabling injuries in Vietnam; Sen. Dick Lugar, the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee; and former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh. Eight Republicans voted to approve the treaty.

The treaty also was widely backed by the disabilities community and veterans groups.

White House press secretary Jay Carney called the vote disappointing and noted that President Barack Obama had declared, in a written statement read in tribute to

Dole just before the vote, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;disability rights should not stop at our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shores.â&#x20AC;?

Carney said the White House hopes the treaty can be reconsidered in the next Congress.

Democratic support for the convention was led by Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. John Kerry, Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, one of the key players in writing the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t controversial,â&#x20AC;? Kerry, D-Mass., said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this treaty says is very simple. It just says that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discriminate against the disabled. It says that other countries have to do what we did 22 years ago when we set the example for the world and passed the Americans with Disabilities Act.â&#x20AC;?

In a statement after the vote, Kerry said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the saddest days Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in almost 28 years in the Senate, and it needs to be a wake-up call about a broken institution thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letting down the American people.â&#x20AC;?

home on a ranch in the small community of Osprey about four hours northwest of Miami near Sarasota.

Cliff Walker was shot to death and his wife was beaten, raped and then shot. Three-year-old Jimmie was shot to death and his 2-year-old sister was shot and drowned in a bathtub. The gruesome scene days before Christmas shocked investigators. News stories at the time noted that there were gifts around the tree.

At some point on the same day, Smith and Hickock bought items at a Sarasota department store. On Dec. 21, witnesses say they spoke with Smith and Hickock in Tallahassee.

McGath said the Walkers had been considering buying a 1956 Chevy Bel Air, which was the kind of car Smith and Hickock had stolen and were driving through Florida. McGath thinks that somehow, the Walkers and the killers met because of the car.

The detective found witness statements â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and talked to people who are still alive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who said they

saw Smith and Hickock in the Sarasota area around the time of the Walker murders. One witness said the taller of the two men had a scratched-up face.

The pair was later arrested in Las Vegas, and a polygraph test cleared them of the Walker murders. But in 1987, a polygraph expert said those tests in the early 1960s were worthless.

Authorities said the Walkers still have some living relatives both in and outside of Florida but declined to give names.

McGath has been the one leading the effort to find their killers.

She hopes the DNA will prove that Smith and Hickock killed the Walker family so the community can have closure, and so the dozens of people falsely accused over the years as suspects in the case can finally have peace of mind.

Kirby said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that only bones remain in the Kansas coffins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this case, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to require a backhoe,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially with the drought we had this year, the ground is going to be extremely hard.â&#x20AC;?

Kirby hopes that if an exhumation occurs, officials will be able to get the material they need by simply opening the coffin on site, without full removal. He was also concerned about the timing of any exhumation, because relatives visit other graves and decorate them around Christmas.

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is accepting applications for small grants to help schools reduce solid waste and increase their recycling.

The department is taking applications online until Feb. 15. KDHE will award grants ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 for projects that seek to reduce waste through education, composting and recycling.

But the projects must be integrated into classroom instruction.

KDHE Bureau of Waste Management Director William Bider says one goal is to teach students and school workers habits that can be applied in their homes or other places.

Westar officials say customers should not notice any impact from the closure.

A transformer at the plant failed last Wednesday, causing an explosion and fire. Westar officials estimate it will cost between $5 million and $8 million to repair the plant.

KAKE-TV reports the plant has a spare transformer that will be used until repairs are complete.

Westar uses the plant mostly during peak summer months.

No one was injured in the fire. Workers are still trying to determine what caused the transformer to fail.

GOP leaders remove 4 from committees

By Kevin Freking Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; House Speaker John Boehnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to take plum committee assignments away from four conservative Republican lawmakers after they bucked party leaders on key votes isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going over well with advocacy groups that viewed them as role models.

Reps. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas and Justin Amash of Michigan will lose their seats on the House Budget Committee chaired by Rep. Paul Ryan next year. And Reps. Walter Jones of North Carolina and David Schweikert of Arizona are losing their seats on the House Financial Services Committee.

The move is underscoring a divide in the Republican Party between tea party-supported conservatives and the House GOP leadership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a clear attempt on the part of Republican leadership to punish those in Washington who vote the way they promised their constituents they would â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on principle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; instead of mindlessly rubberstamping trillion dollar deficits and the bankrupting of America,â&#x20AC;? said Matt Kibbe, president of the tea party group FreedomWorks.

Tea party group chairman quits

The GOP leadership might think they have silenced conservatives, but removing me and others from key committees only confirms our conservative convictions. This is clearly a vindictive move and a sure sign that the GOP establishment cannot handle disagreement.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas Rep. Tim Huelskamp in a statement after losing his seat on the House Budget Committee man for Boehner, would only say Tuesday that the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steering committee chaired by the speaker made the decision â&#x20AC;&#x153;based on a range of factors.â&#x20AC;?

Groups aligned with the tea party movement were generally big supporters of Huelskamp, Amash and Schweikert. Jones is viewed more as a conservative maverick than a tea party Republican. He has frequently sided against GOP leaders on a range of issues over the years. For example, he voted against the GOP budget because he opposed the changes proposed for Medicare.

Schweikert said it was made clear to him â&#x20AC;&#x153;I should vote for the team more.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re walking into the 113th Congress with a smaller majority,â&#x20AC;?

Schweikert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have thought the fixation would have been family unity. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the way

Huelskamp said in a statement Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is clearly a vindictive move and a sure sign that the GOP establishment cannot handle disagreement.â&#x20AC;?

All four lawmakers had voted against the summer 2011 deal negotiated between Republican leaders and President Barack Obama for extending the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to borrow money in exchange for $1 trillion in spending cuts and the promise of another $1 trillion in reduced deficits. Three of the four, the exception being Schweikert, voted against the Ryan-written GOP budget blueprint that the House passed last March.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eased out with an $8 million payout provided by an influential Republican fundraiser, former GOP House Majority Leader Dick Armey says he has left the conservative tea party group FreedomWorks because of an internal split over the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future direction.

A confidential contract obtained by The Associated Press shows that Armey agreed in SeptemArmey ber to resign from his role as chairman of Washington-based FreedomWorks in exchange for $8 million in consulting fees paid in annual $400,000 installments. Dated Sept. 24, the contract specifies that Armey would resign his position at both FreedomWorks and its sister organization, the FreedomWorks Foundation, by the end of November.

Makings of fiscal deal behind hot rhetoric

By Andrew Taylor and Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bluster and hot rhetoric aside, the White House and House Republicans have identified areas of significant overlap that could form the basis for a final agreement after â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliffâ&#x20AC;? posturing gives way to hard bargaining.

Both sides now concede that tax revenue and reductions in entitlement spending are essential elements of any deal. If the talks succeed, it probably will be because House Speaker John Boehner yields on raising tax rates for top earners and the White House bends on how to reduce

spending on Medicare and accepts some changes in Social Security.

The White House and Boehner kept up the ridicule of each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negotiating stances on Tuesday. But beneath the tough words were the possible makings of a deal that could borrow heavily from a nearbargain last year during debt-limit negotiations.

Then, Obama was willing to reduce cost-of-living increases for Social Security beneficiaries and increase the eligibility age for Medicare, as Boehner and other top Republicans have demanded. On Tuesday, Obama did not shut the door on Republican ideas on such entitlement programs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m prepared to make some tough decisions on some of these issues,â&#x20AC;?

Obama said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask folks who are, you know, middle-class seniors who are on Medicare, young people who are trying to get student loans to go to college, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask them to sacrifice and not ask anything of higher-income folks.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to entertain other ideas that the Republicans may present,â&#x20AC;? he added in an interview with Bloomberg Television.

At the core, the negotiations center on three key points: whether tax rates for upper income taxpayers should go up, how deeply to cut spend-

ing on entitlements such as Medicare and how to deal with raising the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borrowing limit early next year.

White House spokesman Jay Carney dismissed Boehnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposals as â&#x20AC;&#x153;magic beans and fairy dust.â&#x20AC;?

Boehner countered: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the president really wants to avoid sending the economy over the fiscal cliff, he has done nothing to demonstrate it.â&#x20AC;?

Tax rates have emerged as one of the most intractable issues, with Obama insisting the rates on the top 2 percent of earners must go up and Boehner standing steadfast that they must not.

BRIEFLY Senate passes $631B defense bill WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Senate overwhelmingly approved a sweeping, $631 billion defense bill Tuesday that sends a clear signal to President Barack Obama to move quickly to get U.S. combat troops out of Afghanistan, tightens sanctions Obama on Iran and limits the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority in handling terror suspects.

Ignoring a veto threat, the Senate voted 98-0 for the legislation that authorizes money for weapons, aircraft and ships and provides a 1.7 percent pay raise for military personnel.

After a decade of increasing Pentagon budgets, the vote came against the backdrop of significant reductions in projected military spending and the threat of deeper cuts from the looming â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliffâ&#x20AC;? of automatic spending cuts and tax increases.

The bill reflects the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war-weariness after more than a decade of fighting in Afghanistan,

Snowplow simulator offers rare chance to practice

FIREWORKS BURST OVER TAHRIR SQUARE TUESDAY AS PROTESTERS GATHER in Cairo. A protest by tens of thousands of Egyptians outside the presidential palace in Cairo turned violent Tuesday as tensions grew over Islamist President Mohammed Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seizure of nearly unrestricted powers. Thousands of protesters also gathered in Cairoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown Tahrir Square, miles away from the palace, to join several hundred who have been camping out there for nearly two weeks.

Over 100,000 protest at Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential palace

By Aya Batrawy and Hamza Hendawi Associated Press

CAIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than 100,000 Egyptians protested outside the presidential palace in Cairo on Tuesday, fueling tensions over Islamist leader Mohammed Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seizure of nearly unrestricted powers and the adoption by his allies of a Morsi controversial draft constitution.

The outpouring of anger across the Egyptian capital, the Mediterranean port of Alexandria and a string of other cities pointed to a prolonged standoff between the president and a newly united opposition.

Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponents, long fractured by bickering and competing egos, have been re-energized since he announced decrees

last month that place him above oversight of any kind, including by the courts, and provide immunity to two key bodies dominated by his allies: The 100-member panel drafting the constitution and parliamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper chamber.

The decrees have led to charges that Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powers turned him into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;new pharaoh.â&#x20AC;?

The large turnout in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Warningâ&#x20AC;? by organizers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; signaled sustained momentum for the opposition, which brought out at least 200,000 protesters to Cairoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tahrir Square a week ago and a comparable number on Friday to demand that Morsi rescind the decrees.

The huge scale of the protests have dealt a blow to the legitimacy of the new constitution, which Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponents contend allows religious authorities too much influence over

legislation, threatens to restrict freedom of expression and opens the door to Islamist control over dayto-day life.

What the revived opposition has yet to make clear is what it will do next: campaign for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? vote on the draft constitution in a nationwide referendum set for Dec. 15, or call on Egyptians to boycott the vote.

Already, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful judges have said they will not take on their customary role of overseeing the vote, thus robbing it of much of its legitimacy.

Morsi was in the presidential palace conducting business as usual as the protesters gathered outside. He left for home through a back door as the crowds continued to swell, according to a presidential official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

DALLAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In an area that gets a mere 3 inches of snow a year, Dallas snowplow drivers live in fear of major winter storms like the one that crippled their city almost two years ago, the week before it was to host the Super Bowl.

The drivers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only worried ones. So highway officials in at least nine states are using a sophisticated simulator to give plow drivers a chance to practice snow removal in any weather. It works like a video game, recreating slick pavement, poor visibility and even children or animals bolting across the road. In a virtual collision, drivers hear crashing noises and see a cracked windshield.

Because Dallas road crews donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive plows very often, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have to practice a lot more,â&#x20AC;? said Eric Hemphill, maintenance director for the North Texas Toll Authority, which manages 850 miles of roads in and around Dallas and Fort Worth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that luxury â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or that pressure.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost an annual tradition for a few inches of snow to shut down warmweather cities as winterhardened Northerners laugh. Dallas and other major population centers are trying to shed that reputation, but since snow comes so rarely, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t justify elaborate, expensive preparations in an era of tight budgets.

Navy: No drones in region missing

By Ali Akbar Dareini and Brian Murphy Associated Press

TEHRAN, IRAN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iran claimed Tuesday it had taken another prize in a growing showdown with Washington over drone surveillance, displaying a purported U.S. unmanned aircraft it said was captured intact. The U.S. Navy, however, said none of its drones in the region was missing.

The conflicting accounts could put pressure on both sides for more details on U.S. reconnaissance and Iranian counter-measures.

They also point to other questions, including how Iran could manage to snatch the Boeing-designed ScanEagle drone without noticeable damage to its light-weight, carbon-fiber

body or whether the aircraft could be from another Gulf country that deploys it.

There is even the possibility the drone is authentic but was plucked from the sea after a past crash and unveiled for maximum effect amid escalating tensions over U.S. reconnaissance missions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a Predator drone coming under fire from Iranian warplanes last month.

But unlike the larger Predator, which can carry weapons and sophisticated surveillance systems, the much smaller ScanEagle collects mostly photographic and video images using equipment with little intelligence value, experts said.

One called the craft a â&#x20AC;&#x153;large seagullâ&#x20AC;? with cameras.

ĂŻĹąÄ&#x2021; V $ ƥÜŜò ŜòÜĹ&#x; ~ÂŽĂ?

Monitoring of Gulf air and sea traffic is considered of high importance for the U.S. military. Iran has taken steps to boost its naval and drone capabilities, unsettling Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf Arab allies.

Iran also has threatened in the past to try to block the strategic Strait of Hormuz â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the route for onefifth of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in retaliation for Western sanctions over Tehranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear program.

Washington denies it has crossed into Iranian airspace, but Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definition of its jurisdiction could be far broader.

State-run Press TV said any surveillance of Iran was considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;a violation of territory.â&#x20AC;?

storm in North Texas remains a black eye for local government. When more than 5 inches of snow fell back in 2011, many highways went unplowed, and thousands of football fans got stranded before the big game. The toll authority was forced to use construction road graders to clear impassable roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Super Bowl that everybody talks about really opened our eyes,â&#x20AC;?

Hemphill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to put another tool in our toolbox.â&#x20AC;?

The toll authority spent about $84,000 on nine snowplow blades that attach to the front of regular dump trucks. Then it hired a subsidiary of New York-based L-3 Communications to help with training by putting on its snowplow simulation.

The simulator has three video screens, a steering wheel and a switch for the plow blade. Earlier this month, a handful of toll road drivers tried it out, tracing the curves of a virtual road designed to make them slip. Imaginary deer ran out and almost without exception got hit by drivers who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to avoid them. Each time, the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;COLLISIONâ&#x20AC;? popped up in red letters.

The Texas Department of Public Safety also uses the simulator in its local district offices, as do some agencies in states with generally mild winters such as Virginia and Kentucky. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also used in Maryland, Delaware, Missouri, Maine, Utah and Oregon, L-3 Senior Training Manager George Perez said.

FEMA: Sandy fund should last until spring WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Tuesday thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough money in the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disaster relief fund for Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts until early spring.

FEMA Director Craig Fugate told the House Transportation Committee that the fund still has about $4.8 billion that can be dispersed. So far, the government has distributed about $2 billion in aid to the 11 states struck by the late October storm.

Fugateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony somewhat undercuts appeals by New York, New Jersey and Connecticut for more aid immediately.

Those three states alone want another $83 billion.

President Barack Obama

can request up to another $5.4 billion without hitting a spending ceiling. Several Republicans say more than that should be matched by spending cuts in other federal programs.

Obama is expected to send Congress his request for emergency Sandy recovery aid this week. The initial amount is certain to be less than the states are requesting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The administration is strongly committed to recovery and working with Congress to help communities recover and rebuild,â&#x20AC;? said Fugate.

Given the recent budget talks and the pressures against new spending, Congress is not expected to approve large amounts of additional money all at once.

Obama may be transitional figure

EDITORIALS

Art legacy A gift from a retired art history professor will help ensure the continued excellence of Kansas University’s Spencer Museum of Art.

M

arilyn Stokstad is the gift that keeps on giving to Kansas University. Her distinguished career as an educator and art historian was an immeasurable contribution to KU, its students and the people of Kansas. Now she has made sure her legacy will continue by establishing an endowed directorship at KU’s Spencer Museum of Art. The Marilyn Stokstad Director fund will strengthen the museum that Stokstad called “one of the jewels” of the university by supporting research and travel for the director, internships for students and faculty, and engagement of scholars from other academic disciplines. As Stokstad noted, it’s a gift “which will benefit the museum in perpetuity.”

The contribution is just the latest way that Stokstad has demonstrated her commitment to KU. She joined the KU faculty in 1958 and taught more than 20 different courses before retiring in 2002. She directed the KU Museum of Art, which became the Spencer, from 1961 to 1968 and served as associate dean of KU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences from 1972 to 1976.

At a time when women still were a rarity in university leadership positions, she was both a pioneer and mentor. She is known throughout the world for her scholarship and the art history textbooks she authored, including books used in art history courses at universities across the country.

The Stokstad Director is just the third named position at KU both established by and named for a woman. Stokstad has honored the university with her creativity and scholarship for more than 50 years. The fund she has established is a fitting tribute to her work, as well as her lasting commitment to and affection for KU.

Season of giving

We learned almost nothing about Barack Obama’s second term during his re-election campaign. We will learn almost everything about that second term in the next four weeks.

We already know that the president intends to be more deeply involved in foreign affairs beyond Iraq and Afghanistan; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mercy mission to the Middle East as Hamas rockets were being launched from Gaza and as Israeli troops were massing on the frontier signaled a more aggressive approach. Similar initiatives may be forthcoming, especially as Iran moves closer to possessing nuclearweapons capability.

As fraught with danger as foreign affairs are, the domestic situation may be even more challenging. This is not the time to determine which of the two American parties is most like Hamas or Hezbollah, or Netanyahu or Ahmadinejad — such comparisons conceal more than they reveal. It is useful at this juncture merely to observe that the principals in Washington are intransigent by nature and their positions irreconcilable by definition.

Presidents get tough issues But taking on the difficult is what the presidency is for.

“No easy matters will ever come to you,” Dwight Eisenhower told his successor on the eve of John F. Kennedy’s inauguration in 1961, and Obama has been fond of saying in 2012 that if a decision makes its way to his desk, it is because no one below him was able to resolve it. After the election, House Speaker John Boehner and even some of those tannin-eyed members of the Tea Party recognize this, and its corollary: At certain times in history, the presidency is pre-eminent.

This is one of those times, which is why most attention is on the White House and

in another vital area. The story of America since the election of Franklin Roosevelt is the expansion of the role of the federal government, especially in the economy and in establishing entitlements.

Obama almost certainly will have to stand athwart history and halt the expansion of one dshribman@post-gazette.com or more legs of the entitlement stool — Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. (A Obama almost fourth leg is his own health certainly will have to plan.) stand athwart history care This will please almost and halt the expansion no one — not his own party, of one or more legs of where a large faction wants entitlements to be excluded the entitlement stool from any debt- and deficit— Social Security, reduction formula, and not his rivals in the Republican Medicare and Party, many of whom want to Medicaid.” overhaul the programs and place them more on a freenot the Capitol as the thorny market basis. economic issues facing Washington are rolled out, More than fiddling needed This time the middle and, if this is a truly lucky naground — fiddling with elition, worked out.

“

Reaching out to help those in need is a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit.

It seems like years ago, but it was only yesterday (really, only a month ago) that everyone — the candidates, the commentariat, common folks full of common sense — was saying that the 2012 election was one of the most important in our lifetimes.

We say that sort of rubbish every four years, when in fact we should recognize what the great student of the presidency Richard Neustadt taught us, but what we never learned: Presidents don’t have all that much power.

Mostly they have the power, or really the potential, to persuade. That is Obama’s task now.

Election settled little In truth, the 2012 election settled little. This is not what conservatives, who feel that all the buoys of national life have moved, nor what liberals, who feel America’s new natural state of governance is fundamentally progressive, believe, but it may be true.

We are back where we were during the torrid 44 days of budget negotiations in summer 2011, only the situation is ever more dire, in part because those six weeks produced nothing. Washington didn’t kick the problem down the road; it kicked it into a ditch.

Conservatives hope Obama is merely a transitional figure. They may be right, but the transition may be as much in the president himself as in the body politic. He’s not running for reelection again, and the House Republicans are. He has the whip hand, and the House Republicans don’t.

But in horse racing, as in politics, it isn’t the possession of the whip but the use of it that matters. We know who has it. In a month’s time, we should know how he uses it.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 5, 1912: “The interYEARS est in the noonday AGO lunch being served IN 1912 at the Y.M.C.A. has surprised the people. Even those in attendance have said that the interest has outgrown anything that was expected. The fact is that Lawrence needs something to call the business men together oftener. In many cities noonday lunches are a regular thing. ... The average business man is busy but he can eat and be sociable at the same time.

Experience has shown that great problems are worked out by busy men at luncheons every day.”

A

listing in Tuesday’s JournalWorld is just a reminder that it’s not too late to volunteer or donate to various efforts that will make the holidays a little brighter for local residents in need.

Hundreds of families remain to be adopted through the Holiday Bureau operated by Ballard Community Services, Penn House, ECKAN and the Salvation Army. KVC Behavioral Health and The Villages are collecting gifts for youngsters who are homeless or in foster care.

Douglas County Toys for Tots still is taking toy donations and seeking volunteers for its Christmas Toy Show. A full listing of volunteer and contribution needs, along with contact information, is available in Tuesday’s J-W and on LJWorld.com.

Many agencies are reporting that more than the usual number of individuals and families are seeking assistance this year.

Contributing some time or gifts to help those less fortunate is a great way to celebrate the true spirit of the Christmas season. Please give what you can.

Perry Ellis won’t argue with anybody who says the first semester of one’s college career just might be the most difficult of all.

“I mean, it’s pretty tough.

You really have to focus,” Ellis, Kansas University’s 6-foot-8 freshman basketball forward from Wichita, said as Friday’s Stop Day approaches, signaling the end of fall semester of the 2012-13 school year. “There’s so much you have to do compared to high school.

So many other things are thrown at you whether academics, basketball,” added Ellis, Class of 2012 valedictorian at Wichita Heights High School, who said he’s been tested, but not overwhelmed at KU. “I’m just a freshman trying to get better,” he said. “I just do what they tell me and try to get better as a player and a person.”

NHL owners, players resume talks NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The only early details that emerged from the latest round of negotiations aimed at ending the NHL lockout were the names of those in attendance and that the sides took a break for dinner nearly six hours after they started talking Tuesday.

A group of six owners and 18 NHL players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; many more than were originally expected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gathered at a Manhattan hotel and tried to find some common

ground as the search for a deal that would save the hockey season continued. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and union executive director Donald Fehr were at the hotel but stayed outside the meeting room.

Not much has worked up until Tuesday, the 80th day of the lockout, so the sides agreed to a different format to see if that would shake things up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping we get to where we need to be,â&#x20AC;? Bettman said

before talks got under way Tuesday afternoon.

The dialogue continued, sometimes in smaller groups, throughout the day until the sides separated for a dinner break. The owners left while the players stayed to have a meal inside the hotel.

As more and more days pass by, the possibility that the entire hockey season will be lost grows. A lockout forced the cancellation of the 2004-05 sea-

A person familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been released publicly, says the deal is for six years and $3.2 million annually.

Bielema, Barry Alvarezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand-picked successor at Wisconsin, was 68-24 with the Badgers, with four double-digit win seasons.

Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He not only shares the vision and values for the future of Arkansas football, he embraces them.â&#x20AC;?

Bielema is leaving the Big Ten for the SEC and a Razorbacks program that opened the year with hopes of challenging for a national championship only to get mired in the Petrino scandal before stumbling to a 4-8 finish.

Firebirds girls drop opener

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Free State High’s girls basketball team never looked comfortable — even after building a 10-point fourthquarter lead — in its season opener Tuesday and lost, 44-42, at Topeka Seaman.

The Firebirds led 40-30 with 7:55 remaining after senior guard Kennedy Kirkpatrick opened the final quarter with a steal and a layup, but FSHS hit just one of its other 15 attempts in the final eight minutes, setting up a Seaman comeback.

Free State coach Bryan Duncan said poor shot selection and “probably bad coaching” cost his team in the fourth quarter, when almost nothing went right. With a double-digit lead and an experienced group of ball handlers on his team, Duncan wanted to spread out the Vikings (2-0) and attack them off the dribble for layups after eating up some clock.

“That’s not what happened,” he said.

Instead, the Firebirds (0-1) went nearly seven minutes without a bucket or a single point until senior guard A’Liyah Rogers scored inside on a pass from Scout Wiebe with 1:03 left, giving FSHS a 4240 lead.

FREE STATE’S KENNEDY KIRKPATRICK, RIGHT, AND A’LIYAH ROGERS REACT in the second half of the Firebirds’ 44-42 loss on Tuesday at Topeka Seaman.

“I thought we were in a position where we could finally change the tempo and force (Seaman) to play the way we wanted to play by bringing them out, and ironically that ended up hurting us tonight,” Duncan said.

While FSHS missed shots, Vikings post players Tatyana Legette and Rachel Heald led a Seaman comeback, combining to outscore the visitors 10-4 by themselves in the fourth.

Though Free State led 42-40 in the final minute, with the ball after a Seaman turnover, Duncan wanted his team to aggressively look for possible layups. Kirkpatrick missed a

After a FSHS timeout, Kirkpatrick, who led the team with 11 points, missed a long three at the buzzer, giving Free State a loss to open the season. She said the Firebirds must learn how to play with a lead.

“We all feel like our shot selection in the fourth quarter was poor as a team,” she said. “We struggled to keep the intensity up.”

Junior Millie Shade scored 10 points off the bench for FSHS. Rogers finished with eight points and six rebounds. Senior Chelsea Casady also scored eight.

Duncan said his team is capable of a better finish: “We just didn’t play well in the fourth quarter with an experienced group.”

Lions (0-2), who dropped a one-point decision to Emporia last week.

“We’re 0-2, and it hurts,” LHS coach Nick Wood said, “but the girls are battling really hard.

There are just some little things that aren’t helping us get over the top. If we keep battling like that, we’ll be all right.”

The Lions outscored Junction City 15-12 in the fourth quarter to get the game tied but were outscored 7-3 in overtime.

“It was really a hardfought game,” Wood said.

“We battled the whole time.”

Kylie Seaman added 11 points for the Lions, and Bri Anderson scored eight.

BRIEFLY FSHS wrestling falls in dual LEAVENWORTH — Free State fell to Leavenworth, 39-35, on Tuesday in a high school wrestling dual.

Winners for Free State were Qualian Fowler at 106 pounds, David Stubbs at 120, Maurice Jacobs at 132, Colton Steele at 145, Ben Soukup at 160 and Nick Vidoli at 182.

baskets) and had seven different players score.

Law didn’t see that same team in the second half, when the Firebirds had three assists against seven turnovers while allowing the Vikings (0-1) to hit 19 of their 27 secondhalf shot attempts (70 percent).

“We were so satisfied with ourselves at halftime, we just thought we’d come out and they’d just roll over for us and let us come in on their home court and beat them like we did in the first half,” Law said. “Boy, we played as poorly in the second half as we did well in the first half.”

Though FSHS seemed all right to start the third quarter, with juniors Reshawn Caro and Khadre Lane scoring to keep ample distance between the Firebirds and Vikings, that quickly changed as Seaman caught fire. The

Vikings hit eight of their first nine shots in the third, cutting Free State’s 17-point halftime lead to 41-36.

That’s when the Firebirds’ bench came through. Junior swingman Blake Winslow hit a jumper to end the Vikings’ run. Then senior forward Cody Scott — making his varsity debut — made a jump-hook. He followed that with a block on the defensive end and took the ball down the floor for a layup. Next, sophomore Weston Hack delivered a steal and a fast-break bucket that gave FSHS a 49-40 lead in the final minute of the third.

“Our bench saved us tonight. Absolutely,” Law said. “... Cody was just a warrior tonight. Weston played pretty big-time for a sophomore playing his first significant varsity minutes.”

Scott finished with 15 points on 5-for-7 shooting, with three rebounds and two blocks. Hack had eight points and three rebounds. Throw in Winslow’s five points, includ-

ing a three-point play with 50 seconds left, and Free State’s bench outscored Seaman’s 28-4.

Scott said the bench players have to play within themselves and be an anchor for the team. A drop-off in the level of play, he added, is not an option.

“It’s our job to maintain it,” Scott said.

“

He has shown flashes of that.”

— Kansas University men’s basketball coach Bill Self on freshman Perry Ellis “He needs to have some success in the game,” Self said. “He needs to see the ball go in the hole. I’ve seen in practice he catches it and shoots it. In the game, he catches it, hesitates and tries to back a guy down rather than make an aggressive move. It’s something he’ll get better at.

He’s more than capable.

“We also have to understand, hey, Julian (Wright) wasn’t good enough to start until after Christmas, neither was Mario Chalmers. Those guys turned out to be pretty good players.

It’s a different deal, different speed, different competitive level. He’ll get there. He just needs some time and a lot of reps.”

Ellis said his teammates have made the transition to college less difficult.

“Just listening to these guys every day ... the seniors really help me out a lot, motivating me day in and out,” Ellis said. “Jeff (Withey), Elijah (Johnson), Travis ...

BIG 12 MEN’S ROUNDUP

No. 15 Georgetown too much for Texas The Associated Press

No. 15 Georgetown 64, Texas 41 NEW YORK — Rick Barnes knew he would have a lot of teaching to do this season with a roster that has 10 sophomores and freshmen and still doesn’t know when starting guard Myck Kobango will return to the lineup.

The Longhorns struggled offensively in a loss to Georgetown on Tuesday night in the opening game of the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Otto Porter had 14 points and eight rebounds to lead Georgetown. Nate Lubick added 13 points and Markel Starks had 11 for the Hoyas, who led by 13 at halftime. The lead grew to 23 and was never less than eight in the second half.

“I thought we were quite attentive to defense,” Hoyas coach John Thompson III said . “With the exception of giving them some free throws and some baskets in transition, they had to work for everything they got and that’s what we wanted to do.”

The Hoyas (6-1), whose only loss this season was to No. 1 Indiana in overtime, scored the first nine points of the game, the last four from Lubick on layups.

Sheldon McClellan had 12 points to lead the Longhorns (5-3), who had their lowest point total under Barnes, who took over as coach for the 1998-99 season. Texas had won three straight after losing two in a row.

“After these games, we’re making the same mistakes,” Barnes said.

“Throwing passes to guys they know can’t catch it.

Getting the ball tipped away from behind. I don’t understand. We wanted to throw the ball inside all night. We didn’t. I still don’t think they can guard us. If I could have 20 timeouts a game so I could tell them things we would have more wins.”

The Longhorns struggled with their shooting and turnovers throughout the first half. The Hoyas led by as many as 17 points in the first half, the last time at 30-13 on a jumper

by Porter with 2:55 to go.

“We defended them well enough. We really did,” Barnes said. “It was our offense again. We don’t put pressure on people the way we should.”

Texas shot 28.6 percent (8 of 28), including 1 of 6 from 3-point range, in the first half against Georgetown and committed 12 turnovers that the Hoyas turned into 14 points on the way to a 30-17 halftime lead.

The shooting was almost as bad in the second half. Texas, which came in averaging 64.4 points per game, finished 6 of 20 (30 percent) from the field in the second half and was 14 of 48 (29.2 percent) overall.

The Longhorns were 2 of 13 from three-point range.

“What I’m disappointed most in is just the will to continue to fight wasn’t there,” Barnes said. “We start the game and all we talk about is not turning the ball over. They don’t do what we practice. They didn’t do one thing we didn’t expect.”

Georgetown shot 41 percent (25 of 61) for the game but the Hoyas made only 4 of 18 from beyond the arc.

Porter hit some big shots early.

“The team trusts me to be aggressive and that’s what I wanted to pick up coming into this season,” he said.

The Hoyas’ recent 3736 win over Tennessee was their worst offensive effort of the shot clock era, their lowest point total since a 37-36 win over SMU in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 1985. Georgetown shot 36 percent in the game and Tennessee made 33 percent.

Arkansas 81, Oklahoma 78 FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. — BJ Young’s last-minute recovery was the perfect addition to Marshawn Powell’s career night for Arkansas.

The Tigers trailed for 17 minutes before Bowers made a turnaround jumper to give Missouri a 57-56 lead with 10:56 remaining, then stretched the lead to 73-62 with 4:16 left on an alleyoop dunk by Keion Bell.

Phil Pressey added 17 points for the Tigers (7-1) after making only 3 of 14 shots from the field in the first half, including 1 of 6 from three-point range.

Corey Wilford scored all of his 14 points in the first half to lead the Redhawks (6-5). Nino Johnson and Missouri transfer Tyler Stone both added 13.

After a missed jumper with 1:10 remaining in the first half, Missouri coach Frank Haith quickly turned his back to the court and slapped his hands in the first of many signs of frustration with his team.

Southeast Missouri was able to take the lead thanks to eight threepointers in the first half.

The Redhawks entered the game having won three consecutive games while shooting 27 for 39 on three-pointers during that stretch. However, they made 1 of 10 from beyond the arc in the second half against the Tigers.

WASHINGTON WIZARDS’ KEVIN SERAPHIN, LEFT, OF FRANCE, VIES FOR THE BALL against Miami Heat forward Mike Miller during the first half on Tuesday in Washington. The Wizards won, 105-101. clanking a 3-point attempt. Crawford’s free throw then made it 102-99, and he slapped his palms together vociferously.

James made a shot in the lane to pull within 102-101, and Crawford added two free throws for a 104-101 edge with 6.9 seconds on the clock.

James then missed his last shot, another 3. Nene got the rebound, and tacked on a free throw.

Unlike the James-WadeBosh Heat, the Wizards are mostly a collection of castoffs and high draft picks who never lived up to their billing — or have yet to, anyway. Their best player, 2010 No. 1 overall pick John Wall, has yet to participate in a practice, let alone play, this season because of a left knee cap injury.

Before the game, Wittman said he can’t give an idea of when Wall will be available.

Afterward, Wittman was in a far better mood.

“That was a complete game for us, start to finish,” Wittman said. “I’ll be able to sleep tonight.”

BIG 12 FOOTBALL

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Klein no ordinary Heisman finalist

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

MANHATTAN — Collin Klein is the Heisman Trophy finalist who fits no mold.

He was lightly recruited out of high school and ultimately chose to attend Kansas State, a program that had fallen on hard times. He was turned into a wide receiver, and then went back to being a quarterback, where he sat on the bench and bided his time.

It finally came last year, when he led the Wildcats to the Cotton Bowl, his bruises and bloody elbows and gritty toughness creating something that bordered on a cult following in the heart of the Flint Hills.

There’s more to Klein, too, that stands out of the ordinary.

The guy plays the piano and the mandolin — how many college kids even know what a mandolin looks like? He’s married to the daughter of one of the greatest players in Kansas State history, but when they gather for the holidays, they prefer card games to dwelling on the pressures of big-time football.

“He’s a great story, and it’s a story that will evolve over time, as we get old,” said Kansas State wide receiver Chris Harper. “It’s a story about a guy that was humble, one of the most humble guys you’ll ever meet.”

Harper certainly knows who would get his vote for college football’s most prestigious award, and it wouldn’t be Texas A&M

IN THIS OCT. 13 FILE PHOTO, KANSAS STATE QUARTERBACK COLLIN KLEIN SCRAMBLES against Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. Klein will face stiff competition from Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel and Notre Dame’s Manti Te’o when the Heisman award is given out Saturday night in New York City. quarterback Johnny Manziel or Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o, though he admits that both of the other Heisman finalists are deserving of everything that’s come their way.

It would be the fifthyear senior who led a ragtag group of guys predicted to finish somewhere in the middle of the Big 12 to the second Big 12 title in school history and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl. The kid from Loveland, Colo., with the nickname “Optimus Klein.”

“In my vote, he should get it,” Harper said of the Heisman Trophy, which will be awarded Saturday night in New York. “Being a biased guy watching football, the dude — he’s done some crazy things. I don’t understand how he goes out there and has one bad game and he’s already out of it. I didn’t know it goes off of the last game you play. I thought it went off the whole season.”

Yes, therein lays the biggest knock against Klein.

Remarkably consistent all season, Klein had driven the Wildcats to the top of the BCS standings with two games left, a berth in the national championship game tantalizingly close. But he responded with a three-interception game in a loss at Baylor, and all those aspirations were dashed in just one night.

Most people thought Klein’s Heisman hopes went with them.

But with Manziel and Te’o having already finished their regular seasons, Klein took the field last Saturday night with a captive national audience, needing to lead Kansas State past Texas to win the Big 12 title. He threw for 184 yards and a touchdown and ran for another 103 yards and two scores in a 42-24 romp on senior night.

“Well, I don’t know about everybody else, but I don’t know anybody who means more to his football team than Collin Klein,” said Kansas State coach Bill Snyder.

“I think he’s grown in the program over the course of time. He’s had a major impact, obviously. I think certainly the quality of play that he brings to the table, but as I’ve said so many times, the old adage, he’s a far better person than he is anything else.”

Klein has accounted for 37 touchdowns this season, including at least three in eight games, and became the first quarterback in the BCS era to run for at least 20 TDs and throw for 10 in back-toback seasons.

The only players to have done it even once won the Heisman Trophy: Auburn’s Cam Newton in 2010, Florida’s Tim Tebow in 2007 and Eric Crouch of Nebraska in 2000.

“I’m just honored with this opportunity that the Lord has provided me,” Klein said. “I’m so proud to represent K-State in this, because I feel like my road is very synonymous and in line with the KState way. It’s been a process; it’s been a journey.

There have been a lot of ups and downs.”

Mostly ups, though: Klein threw for 2,490 yards and 15 touchdowns this season, and ran for 980 yards. He already holds school records for career rushing TDs and touchdown responsibility, is second in scoring and third in total yards, passing efficiency and total attempts.

All the numbers certainly make a compelling case for Klein to do what Michael Bishop could not in 1998 — bring home the Heisman Trophy. Bishop, who led the Wildcats to the brink of the national title game, finished second in the voting to runaway winner Ricky Williams, the star running back at Texas.

“He’s a great guy, and that’s really the highlight of who he is, and his individual success is definitely a tribute to our team,” Kansas State linebacker Arthur Brown said. “We definitely as a team feel like he’s deserving of representing the Heisman candidate, but just having the opportunity is great in itself.”

Snyder repeats as AP’s coach of the year in Big 12 The Associated Press

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has been voted the AP Big 12 coach of the year after leading the Wildcats to the third conference championship in school history and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl.

The Wildcats’ only l o s s came Snyder a t Baylor late in the season, when they had climbed to No. 1 in the BCS standings. They rebounded to beat Texas last Saturday to wrap up their first Big 12 title since 2003, when Snyder was still in his first tenure at Kansas State.

Snyder also won the award last season, when he led the Wildcats to the Cotton Bowl, and in 1998, when Kansas State came up just short of playing for a national championship. The only other three-time winner of the award is Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops.

Texas Tech back in bowl game after one-year absence

LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) — Texas Tech is back in a bowl game, a year after the Red Raiders ended a streak of 11-straight postseason appearances.

Texas Tech travels to Houston to take on Minnesota of the Big Ten in the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 28. The Red Raiders beat the likes of West Virginia and TCU and doubled their Big 12 win total from last season.

“We’re excited about being back in a bowl game,” said coach Tommy Tuberville, who is without a winning Big 12 record since coming to Texas Tech in 2010. “Hopefully, we can play much better than we what we played at the end of the year.”

Minnesota (6-6) and Texas Tech (7-5) played each other in the 2006 Insight Bowl in Tempe, Ariz., when the Gophers blew a 31-point lead and lost 44-41 in OT. It was the largest comeback in Division I-A bowl history.

Sims’ career total of 2,482 Sims ranks him eighth on KU’s all-time rushing list, 1,359 yards behind all-time leader June Henley. Sims’ 27 career touchdowns rank third all-time, one behind Tony Sands for second, and 14 behind Henley.

“We’re not friends, we’re not homies, we’re like brothers. I was in his ear about (recruiting) a lot about a month ago, and we’ve been having long discussions about it, but lately, I’ve been keeping quiet and giving him the time to think about it himself. It’s his decision.”

Rivals.com’s Rob Cassidy reported in late November that Combs had narrowed his list to a top three of KU, Kansas State and Washington State.

Combs will graduate this month and he told Rivals he would make a deCB reopens recruitment cision Dec. 18.

Last season, after starting 5-2 and beating thenNo. 3 Oklahoma in Norman to end the Sooners’ 39-game home win streak,

The 6-foot, 180-pound cornerback who committed to Kansas in late June also has offers from Oklahoma State and Washington State and has been rumored to be seriously looking at the Cowboys.

With Lewis no longer in the mix, KU sits at 13 oral commitments in the Class of 2013 and is expected to bring in roughly twice that many, with several coming from the juniorcollege ranks.

OSU offers Texas kicker KU’s efforts to sign Arlington, Texas, place kicker Ben Grogan became a little more difficult recently, when Oklahoma State officially offered the 6-1, 175-pound player a scholarship.

Grogan told Jay Fielder of OStateIllustrated.com that he was leaning heavily toward the Cowboys.

Grogan has plans to visit both Kansas State and Kansas in the near future and also is being pursued

by Memphis.

the Red Raiders dropped their final five games for Texas Tech’s first losing season in 19 years. The defense was ragged last season, giving up a schoolrecord 471 points. For a second-straight season the Red Raiders defense finished No. 114 in the nation. They were dead last in stopping the run.

That changed this season when the Red Raiders got

their fourth defensive coordinator in as many years.

Art Kaufman, a longtime friend of Tuberville who coached with him in the Southeastern Conference, took over a year after Chad Glasgow failed to produce.

The unit appeared mentally tougher and more cohesive, and for several weeks early on Texas Tech was ranked in the top five in the nation in total defense. The Red Raiders are currently 39th in the nation (367 yards per game) and 74th against the rush (171 ypg).

Like last season, injuries have taken their toll, especially at receiver. The Red Raiders have played several games without Javon Bell, Bradley Marquez and Jace Amaro. Before their injuries — specific information on Amaro’s injury hasn’t been released, Bell broke a foot in practice and Marquez hurt his knee — all were productive behind quarterback Seth Doege, who has thrown for 3,934 yards and 38 touchdowns this season.

He’s leading the 12th best offense (501.42 ypg) in the country and averaged 328 passing yards.

Alex Torres did not play in the last two games because of a back injury.

“Hopefully, we’ll get back one, maybe two,” Tuberville said.

Though Minnesota lost three of its last four games and finished tied for last in the Legends Division with Iowa, reaching a bowl will give the rebuilding Gophers 15 extra practices to work with their younger players.

The Gophers will be seeking their first bowl win since they beat Alabama 20-16 in the 2004 Music City Bowl.

For Minnesota, a victory would be its seventh on the season — one more than it was able to rack up in 2010 and 2011 combined.

“We’ve been through some hard times,” Minnesota senior defensive back Troy Stoudermire said.

“Coach Kill did a great job getting us back bowl eligible.”

AN UNIDENTIFIED MAN WALKS PAST an apartment building in Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday where police say Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher spent some of his final hours sleeping in his car outside the home of a woman whom he described as his “girlfriend.” Police said the woman’s apartment complex was about 10 miles from the home where Belcher shot and killed 22-year-old Kasanda Perkins.

Belcher told police he was waiting for his girlfriend KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher told officers who found him sleeping in his car outside an apartment complex hours before he committed a murder-suicide that he was there to visit a woman he described as his “girlfriend,” but that she wasn’t home.

The apartment complex is about 10 miles from the Kansas City home Belcher shared with 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, the mother of their 3-monthold daughter Zoey. Belcher shot Perkins at their home Saturday morning before driving to Arrowhead Stadium, where he committed suicide in the practice facility’s parking lot, police said.

Police responded to a report about 2:50 a.m.

Saturday of a man sleeping in his car outside an apartment building, police spokesman Darin Snapp said Tuesday. When police approached the car, Belcher got out of the vehicle and was cooperative, Snapp said.

“We ask him ‘Why are you sleeping here?’, and he says he’s there to visit his girlfriend, but she’s not home,” Snapp said.

When police determined Belcher didn’t have any outstanding warrants, Snapp said Belcher, 25, made a phone call and a short time later, a woman let Belcher into her building. Police did not question the woman and don’t know who she is, he said.

“When he was sleeping she may have come home, and he didn’t realize,” Snapp said. “He was very cooperative and thanked the officers.”

Snapp said that was the last contact police had with Belcher “until his name came up” with the shooting at his home.

Witnesses have since told police that Belcher stayed at that apartment until 6:30 a.m., Snapp said.

At about 7:50 a.m., police were called to Belcher’s home after he had shot and killed Perkins, whose body was found on the floor of the master bathroom with multiple gunshot wounds, according to a police incident report.

Belcher then drove about five miles to Arrowhead Stadium, where he was met by general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel, who Belcher thanked

And if cranberries aren’t your style, chopped dried apricots or dried cherries would be good, too.

Triple-Ginger Cranberry Bars Start to finish: 45 minutes (plus overnight soaking) Makes 24 bars 1 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup Saint Germain elderflower liqueur 2 cups packed brown sugar 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 3 eggs 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 1 teaspoon dry ground ginger 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger 1/2 cup slivered almonds In small bowl or glass, combine the cranberries and liqueur. Cover and let soak overnight.

When ready to cook, heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the brown sugar, butter and salt until light and fluffy. With the mixer running, add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl between each addition.

Stir in the flour, fresh ginger, ground ginger and the soaked cranberries (they should have completely absorbed the liqueur).

Spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan.

Sprinkle the top with the chopped crystallized ginger and the slivered almonds.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until light golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Let cool completely in the pan, then cut into 24 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Nutmeg

These honey-glazed bars are crumbly, richly sweet and incredibly nutty. The combination — thanks in particular to the floral notes added by freshly grated nutmeg — is a bit like baklava, only transformed into a more substantial bar-style cookie. If you want to go crazy, toss some walnuts and pecans in there, too.

CHOCOLATE BLACK PEPPER SABLE COOKIES

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, pepper and baking soda.

In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt. Add in the dry mixture to the buttersugar blend, then mix just until a dough forms. Mix in the chocolate chips.

Roll the mixture into 36 small balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. Use a flat-bottomed glass to gently press and flatten the cookies on the baking sheet.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until no longer wet looking. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

We tend to think of black pepper as a savory seasoning, but it also has a sweet side. No, pepper itself doesn’t taste sweet, but its trademark bite does pair well with sweet ingredients.

So for this cookie we used black pepper in a richly sweet and buttery sable (pronounced SAHbley), the French cousin of more traditional shortbread cookies. And while we usually bemoan the trend in recipe writing to call ONLY for freshly ground black pepper, this is a case where you’ll want Cardamom The classic combination to grind it just before using it.

Cloves

We’ve given the classic crumb bar a holiday-worthy makeover with the addition of ground cloves.

Not only do cloves sport a taste and aroma perfect for the season, they also pair wonderfully with the apricot preserve filling. But feel free to mix it up. Just about any preserve could be substituted. Cherry, peach or fig would be particularly good.

Loire Valley Cabernet elegant yet versatile

Comfort dish dresses up for Christmas

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

Chicken potpie is a fine, comforting dinner for most of the winter. But at Christmas, you want comfort with a little more. You want a dinner thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as special as it is comforting.

This potpie substitutes tender sirloin tips for the poultry. Add a creamy beef gravy and you end up with a savory potpie that is the perfect casual, comforting, yet special way to Matthew Mead/AP Photo cap a wonderful Christmas.

THIS BEEF POTPIE is nice enough for Christmas.

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme Start to finish: 1 hour 1 1/4 pounds sirloin tips, Servings: 6 cut into 1-inch pieces 1 1/4 pounds yellow potaGround black pepper toes, cut into 1-inch chunks 1 tablespoon vegetable or Kosher salt canola oil 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup red wine 1 medium yellow onion, 3/4 cup unsalted or lowsliced sodium beef stock 2 medium shallots, sliced 2 tablespoons all-purpose 1 clove garlic, minced flour 2 large carrots, diced 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 stalks celery, diced 1 sheet puff pastry, 2 tablespoons tomato thawed according to packpaste age directions

Heat the oven to 400 F. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet over mediumhigh heat, melt the butter.

Add the onion, shallots and garlic and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the carrots and celery and cook until beginning to brown and caramelize at the edges, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the to-

Stuke Family Bourbon BBQ Sauce (If you know us, you know it has to be bourbon sauce.)

Makes 9 quarts of sauce 2 No. 10 cans of ketchup (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24 cups to you) 3 cups bourbon 2 cups yellow mustard 8 ounces dark molasses 1 1/2 cup cider vinegar 2 1/2 cups brown sugar 3/4 cup juice from pickled jalapenos (if you like it hotter, throw half a jar of pickled jalapenos and half the juice in a blender, puree and add the whole mix to the sauce) 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 3 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons liquid smoke 4 teaspoons cayenne pepper 3 tablespoons garlic powder 2 tablespoons onion powder 2 tablespoons salt Toss it all in a big stock pot and stir and simmer over medium-low heat. Be sure to stir a lot to ensure the sugars donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t burn on the bottom. You need to be sure it comes to a low boil to get those sugars to do their thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes this sauce magical.

To can, pour into quartsized jars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; be sure the lip is clean of sloppy sauce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and process in boiling water for 20 minutes.

Alabama White BBQ sauce (If you have never had this, you need to quickly come around to my way of thinking.)

Makes 6 pints 2 quarts mayonnaise 2 cups apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup lemon juice 3/4 cup sugar 8 ounces prepared horseradish 1/4 cup juice from pickled jalapenos 1 ounces wasabi 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon black pepper Stir it all together. This one canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be canned, you have to keep it in the refrigerator. Be sure to warn your gift recipients to put it in the cold box asap.

This goes great on most things, but the Alabama folk I know really recommend mopping it on grilled or smoked chicken while you cook, and also setting some aside for dipping.

Happy canning, folks!

Get busy! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Read more of Megan Stukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flying Fork blog at Lawrence.com.

mato paste, Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Season the sirloin with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to the stovetop over high heat. Add the oil. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, sear the meat on all sides until well browned, about 3 minutes. The meat does not need to be cooked through. Once seared, remove the meat from the pan.

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the red wine.

Scrape up any browned bits from the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef stock and flour. Add to the pan, whisking until thick, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cream. Return the beef, vegetables and potatoes to the pan and stir to coat everything with the sauce.

Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to a medium casserole dish or baking pan.

Unfold the puff pastry sheet and set it over the pan. Use a paring knife to cut slits to vent. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the inside is bubbling.

In Bordeaux, Cabernet Franc plays second fiddle, adding a touch of spice to Cabernet Sauvignon blends. But in the Loire Valley, it shines on its own in Chinon and Bourgueil.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lovely Chinon from Château de Coulaine, an estate that dates to 1300. Etienne de Bonnaventure farms his Chinon vineyards organically and vinifies his wines simply and naturally using indigenous yeasts. The wine is a rich ruby red, its intense dark berry flavor laced with Chinonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characteristic spice and pepper. The texture is silky, the tannins tamed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful with roast duck, grilled duck breast or sausages, braised stews and coq au vin.

Cinnamon-Honey We took a basic oat dropstyle cookie and added the Oat Drop Cookies comforting, holiday flavors of Start to finish: 30 minutes cinnamon and honey. These Makes 36 cookies cookies beg to go with tea,

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 eggs 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats 1/4 cup granulated sugar Heat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, brown sugar, honey and vanilla. With the mixer running, add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl in between additions.

Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt and 1 teaspoon of the cin-

namon. Stir in the oats.

Scoop by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Using a slightly moistened hand, flatten the cookies until 1/2 inch thick.

In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle lightly over the top of each cookie.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer glossy and just starting to turn golden brown at the edges. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Ginger

These bars are a serious triple-ginger threat. We packed three varieties of ginger into these tender, chewy bars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; grated fresh ginger, dry ground ginger and chopped crystalized ginger. Combined with the elderflower liqueursoaked cranberries that stud the bars, it is an intoxicating combination (but still childfriendly, though you may not be willing to share).

Want to go for a fourth source of ginger? Swap ginger liqueur for the elderflower.

Christmas Qâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ed up: Saucy gifts from the kitchen

I

t is my habit to give edible gifts for Christmas, but I do my best not to give sweets. People tend to get a lot of candy and cookies at the holidays, and I like to be diff ferent. Plus, when you do it my way, you can start earlier and not spend the last few harried days before the holiday making messes in your kitchen.

Also, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a pretty poor baker, truth be told.

So, in lieu of peanut brittle and divinity, I give a box oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; canned goods. I think people appreciate it.

REAL FOOD! That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go bad in a week! Winning!

believe your wife and her sister have been victims of incest, but please contact RAINN (rainn. org) at 1-800-656-HOPE for additional information and assistance.

Dear Annie: I am 55 and the oldest of three siblings. We had a close, happy family until my father died unexpectedly six years ago. After the funeral, I saw my mother sitting with my sister, “Nina,” and her insurance agent, having everything changed to Nina’s name. It used to be in mine.

Audiences eat up redneck fare

My mother is of completely sound mind.

Since Dad passed, however, she has allowed Nina to control her life.

My sister handles all of her finances and won’t discuss them with my brother or me. Although Mom and I used to go places together, she now won’t get in my car for any reason, not even to attend church.

Nina’s family has my mother buffaloed into thinking they are the only ones who care about her. My brother and I feel like outcasts.

Unlike Nina, we are quite successful and don’t need anything from Mom. I love my mother, Annie, but she pushes me away. This morning, I went to have tea with her, as I do every day, and she was whispering into the phone to Nina with her hand over her mouth so I wouldn’t overhear. I try to remain a good daugh-
