Volunteers sought to adopt families for holidays

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Nonprofit organizations in Lawrence are recruiting volunteers to adopt needy families in the area for the annual donation drive known as the Holiday Bureau.

Officials at Ballard Community Services, 708 Elm St., and Penn House, 1035 Pennsylvania St., are asking community members to

consider adopting a family to make sure they receive holiday gifts, clothing and a warm meal.

“The Holiday Bureau is a chance to show people in need that the community cares,” said Kyle Roggenkamp, director of human services at Ballard Community Services. “This program changes the holidays for so many children, you cannot believe the sense of accomplishment that

comes with adopting a family.”

Families interested in adopting may contact any of the nonprofit organizations involved with Holiday Bureau with their donations and contact information. Adopters may request a certain family size that they would like to adopt.

Officials at Penn House say they still have more than 150 families to adopt.

Holiday Bureau organizers said people who cannot afford to adopt a whole family can still help the program by donating gift cards to a local grocery store. That enables families who are not adopted to receive a holiday meal.

People interested in adopting a family or donating to the program may contact Ballard Community Services at 842-0729 or Penn House at 842-0440.

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Friday said that federal officials have given Kansas the go-ahead to implement on Jan. 1 the state’s new Medicaid system known as KanCare.

Under KanCare, nearly 400,000 Kansans will have their health care administered by for-profit managed care companies.

Brownback vowed that the new system will provide better health care more efficiently and reduce costs to taxpayers.

Medicaid, funded through federal and state dollars, costs about $2.9 billion annually in Kansas.

“Instead of cutting services, cutting providers, we’re adding. This is the way forward. You are going to see a lot of states doing this,” he said.

But the proposal, which has been in the works for nearly two years, has its detractors.

Ernie Kutzley, advocacy director for AARP-Kansas, said he feared KanCare “could really harm the quality of care for seniors.”

AARP and several organizations had asked for delays in implementation, saying Please see KANCARE, page 2A

Another incident reported in area of suspected arsons

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Emergency crews responded to a fire call early Friday morning in a south central Lawrence that has been the site of a string of suspected arsons dating back to October.

Crews responded at about 2:30 a.m. to a fire in the 1800 block of W. 25th Street, according to Lawrence Police Department records.

Mike Frizzell of Operation 100 News, the Journal-World’s

news partner, said emergency dispatch scanner traffic indicted that crews quickly extinguished a small fire in a stairwell at an apartment complex at 1809 W. 25th Street.

No injuries were reported.

Following the fire, police and fire crews set up a perimeter in the area, searching for a potential suspect. The Douglas County Jail booking log does not show any arson-related arrests from that time.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Chief Mark Bradford confirmed the details about the fire, and added later in a press release that the fire was being investigated in connection with the recent arson incidents.

Since Oct. 19, more than a dozen small fires have been set in and around apartment buildings in an area near 23rd Street south to 25th Street and from Iowa east to Naismith Drive.

Many of those fires have occurred in laundry rooms or hallways of apartment complexes. The fires have also been set inside of apartment complexes where exterior doors to the buildings are not locked.

The two most recent fires in the area have fit the general pattern of the recent suspected arsons occurred Nov. 22 and Nov. 25.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is now offering a $5,000 reward to

anyone who has information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for a series of suspected arsons in south central Lawrence.

Anyone with information is asked to contact LawrenceDouglas County Fire Medical at 785-830-7065, the Lawrence Police Department at 785-830-7430 or the TIPS Hotline at 785-843TIPS (8477).

U.S. Supreme Court agrees to hear same-sex marriage cases

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court plunged into the contentious issue of gay marriage Friday when it agreed to take up California’s ban on same-sex unions and a separate dispute about federal benefits for legally married gay couples.

The court’s action gives the justices the chance to say by late June whether gay

in decades. In the area of racial discrimination, the justices already have agreed to decide cases on affirmative action in admission to college and a key part of the Voting Rights Act. The gay marriage cases probably will be argued in March and decisions in all the court’s cases are likely by the end of June.

The order from the court extends a dizzying pace of change regarding gay marriage that includes rapid shifts in public opinion, President Barack Obama’s endorsement in May

Americans have the same constitutional right to marry as heterosexuals. Several narrower paths also are open to the justices as they consider both California’s voter-approved Proposition 8 and the provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that denies to legally married gay Americans the favorable federal tax treatment and a range of federal health and pension benefits given to heterosexual couples.

The court is embarked on what could be its most significant term involving civil rights

Kan. GOP leader’s reimbursement raises eyebrows TOPEKA (AP) — When incoming Kansas House Speaker Ray Merrick had leftover campaign funds at the end of 2011 and no legal way to spend them on political activities or for personal use, he still pocketed $14,464 and said he was reimbursing himself for a decade’s worth of communications expenses, records show.

A state Republican Party official acknowledged that to some Kansans the move perhaps “just doesn’t seem right,” but is probably legal. Carol Williams, the state Governmental Ethics Commission’s executive director, said Merrick’s action would pass muster if he can properly document his past expenses.

Merrick spent a decade in the House before accepting an appointment to the Senate to replace Jeff Colyer after Colyer was elected lieutenant governor in 2010. Candidates can’t use campaign funds to cover purely personal expenses, and the Kansas Supreme Court had ruled previously that state law prohibited candidates who raised money for one office from transferring it to a campaign for another office.

Merrick could have given leftover House campaign funds back to contributors, donated them to charity or, as he did, reimbursed himself for expenses associated with campaigning or holding office.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reported that Merrick, a Stilwell Republican, reported reimbursing himself for telephone, cell phone, fax and Internet service expenses from Jan. 1, 2000, through Dec. 31, 2010. The money came from Merrick’s dormant House campaign fund when Merrick was serving in the Senate.

“That sounds like one that if the public looks at it just doesn’t seem right,” said Clay Barker, the Kansas Republican Party’s executive director. “But I know having worked with ethics quite a bit, that there are some areas with a very ‘bright line’ rule.

As long as you stay on

“

We believe that it is significant that the Supreme Court has taken the Prop 8 case. We believe it is a strong signal that the court will CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A reverse the lower courts and uphold Proposidown the state’s consti- tion 8.” tutional ban on same-sex marriage, but that ruling and thus gay unions remain on hold while the issue is being appealed.

The high court’s decision to hear the federal benefit question was a virtual certainty because several lower courts struck down the provision of the 1996 law and the justices almost always step in when lower courts invalidate a federal law.

There is nothing that compelled a similar response from the court in the case over California’s Proposition 8, the state constitutional ban on gay marriage that voters adopted in 2008 after the state Supreme Court ruled that gay Californians could marry. Indeed, the gay marriage supporters who prevailed in the lower courts urged the Supreme Court to stay out of the case and allow samesex unions to resume in the nation’s largest state.

Even some gay rights activists worried that it was too soon in the evolution of views toward same-sex marriage to ask the justices to intervene and declare that same-sex couples have the same right to marry as heterosexuals. But Theodore Olson, the Washington lawyer who represents Californians who sued over Proposition 8, said he will argue that there is a “fundamental constitutional right to marry for all citizens.”

— John Eastman, chairman of the National Organization for Marriage and a law professor at Chapman University in Orange, Calif.

Opponents of gay marriage said Friday they are heartened by the Supreme Court’s action.

“We believe that it is significant that the Supreme Court has taken the Prop 8 case. We believe it is a strong signal that the court will reverse the lower courts and uphold Proposition 8. That is the right outcome based on the law and based on the principle that voters hold the ultimate power over basic policy judgments and their decisions are entitled to respect,” said John Eastman, chairman of the National Organization for Marriage and a law professor at Chapman University in Orange, Calif.

On the other side of the issue, advocates for same-sex unions said the court could easily decide in favor of gay marriage in California without issuing a sweeping national ruling to overturn every state prohibition on marriage.

In striking down Proposition 8, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals crafted a narrow ruling that said because gay Californians already had been given the right to marry, the state could not later take it away. The ruling studiously avoided over-

arching pronouncements.

“I think the court can easily affirm the 9th Circuit’s decision and leave for a later day whether broader bans on marriage are unconstitutional as well,” said James Esseks of the American Civil Liberties Union.

The other issue the high court will take on involves a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act, known by its acronym DOMA, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman for the purpose of deciding who can receive a range of federal benefits.

Four federal district courts and two appeals courts struck down the provision. Last year, the Obama administration abandoned its defense of the law, but continues to enforce it. House Republicans are now defending

RAY MERRICK was elected Dec. 3 as the House Speaker for the 2013 and 2014 Kansas legislative sessions. the correct side, you can come up with a result that is legal, and the Legislature’s candidates all know what those rules are.”

Merrick’s House campaign committee disclosed the reimbursement in a report filed with the secretary of state’s office in January 2012 and attached a two-page spreadsheet listing monthly totals for telephone, cell phone, fax and Internet expenses from 2001 through 2010. A note says Merrick sought reimbursement for 60 percent of his total expenses of $24,107, although it didn’t explain that percentage.

The incoming House speaker did not discuss his actions with The Topeka Capital-Journal and declined to comment Thursday to The Associated Press.

Several donors said they weren’t bothered by the reimbursement.

“I don’t have any complaints about Ray,” said Niels Hansen, an Overland Park firearms dealer and gunsmith. “He’s an honest guy. He works at what he was elected to do.”

Merrick decided not to seek a full term in the Senate after three federal judges redrew the state’s political boundaries this year and placed Merrick in the same district as Sen. Pat Apple, a Louisburg Republican. Instead, Merrick is returning to the House, and fellow Republicans there chose him to replace retiring Speaker Mike O’Neal, of Hutchinson, when lawmakers open their 2013 session next month.

DOMA in the courts.

The justices chose for their review the case of 83-year-old Edith Windsor, who sued to challenge a $363,000 federal estate tax bill after her partner of 44 years died in 2009.

Windsor, who goes by Edie, married Thea Spyer in 2007 after doctors told them that Spyer would not live much longer. She suffered from multiple sclerosis for many years.

Spyer left everything she had to Windsor.

There is no dispute that if Windsor had been married to a man, her estate tax bill would have been zero.

The U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York agreed with a district judge that the provision of DOMA deprived Windsor of the constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the law.

In both cases, the justices have given themselves a technical way out, involving the legal issue of whether the parties have the required legal standing to bring their challenges, which would allow them to duck all the significant issues raised by opponents and supporters of gay marriage.

that Brownback’s timeline was too aggressive.

Kutzley also said given the state’s precarious fiscal situation — tax cuts signed into law this year

by Brownback will produce a $328 million budget shortfall next year — this wasn’t the time to overhaul Medicaid.

“We really didn’t think the state had the manpower and process in place to oversee this thing,” he said.

“I’m disappointed,” said Tom Laing, executive director of InterHab, a group of organizations that provides services to people with disabilities.

“The question will be how much oversight will the Legislature and the feds exercise to make sure that people covered by Medicaid are not harmed by this process,” Laing said.

Shannon Cotsoradis, president and chief executive officer of Kansas Action for Children, agreed.

“The federal government has determined today that Kansas is ready to move forward with KanCare, but what is less clear is whether children and families are ready for this transition.

“As KanCare unfolds, it will be important to monitor the impact it has on children’s access to health care coverage,” Cotsoradis said.

But Brownback and his health care leaders said approval of KanCare by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services provides certainty for the low-income children, disabled and elderly Kansans served by Medicaid.

Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer promised “a smooth transition for Kansans on Medicaid.”

Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services Secretary Shawn Sullivan said “continuity of care” provisions have been incorporated into the contracts with the managed care organizations to provide three more months after Jan. 1 for health care providers to get into the plan. The state will also have a KanCare ombudsman and consumer telephone hotlines.

The state awarded KanCare contracts in June to subsidiaries of Amerigroup Corp., based in Virginia Beach, Va.; Centene Corp., which has its headquarters in St. Louis; and United Healthcare, based in Minneapolis.

Each Medicaid consumer has been pre-enrolled in one of the plans and members have the opportunity before April 4 to switch to a different plan, officials said. KanCare continues current health care services, and adds heart and lung transplants, bariatric surgery and adult preventative dental services.

Advocates for people with developmental disabilities opposed KanCare and Brownback agreed to wait until 2014 to bring in their long-term services.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary Robert Moser, a family physician, said KanCare will save $1 billion over five years. Moser said the new model will provide a holistic approach to caring for patients. “Basically, this is great news,” he said.

Colby Liston with his new legs

18-year-old KU student Colby Liston is quickly adjusting to his new hydraulic, prosthetic legs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can go out and do anything with them,â&#x20AC;? said Liston, just hours after returning from a 10-day stay at Kansas University Hospital, where he received his prosthetic legs and some help using them.

Liston lost his legs after being hit by a drunken driver Aug. 26, just days after he started his college career at KU. Liston, walking behind a car parked in the 1600 block of Ten-

nessee Street, was pinned between two vehicles, which required that his legs be amputated just above the knee.

The driver of the vehicle that hit Liston has not yet been arrested or charged, but recent alcohol tests showed he had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit.

Through it all, Liston â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bolstered by wide community support in his hometown of Derby â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has stayed

positive and focused on getting back to his life.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Team Listonâ&#x20AC;? Facebook page, which is dedicated to Listonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery and fundraising efforts to help pay for the prosthetics, is filled with updates and pictures of Liston.

His Twitter account, meanwhile, shows that Liston â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a high school football and track athlete â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is a fighter.

A Nov. 27 post proclaims: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have

new knees!â&#x20AC;? along with a photo of a smiling Liston. The next day, he tweeted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mark this down in history as the very last time I use a wheelchair.â&#x20AC;?

Liston is enrolled in online classes at KU for the spring, and he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back at KU in the fall to get going on a petroleum engineering degree.

He recently tweeted his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rule 1â&#x20AC;? for those who may run across him as he learns his way around on his new legs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you see me fall, you ABSOLUTELY do not help me back up. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not disabled. I can get up myself.â&#x20AC;?

KU football takes a hit; Dole conference a success

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

The page one headline in this past Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s USA Today sports section read â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas finds wins elusive, expensiveâ&#x20AC;? with the first paragraph saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cost of football victory keeps climbing for Kansas.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season, the school paid Charlie Weis $2.5 million for one win â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the highest cost per victory among public schools whose teams won at least one game,â&#x20AC;? according to the USA Today Sports analysis of head coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;KU paid Turner Gill $1.05 million for each of two wins last season, after paying Gill $700,000 for each of three wins in 2010.â&#x20AC;?

Later in the story, the report states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas is the only NCAA

Bowl Subdivision school among the top five in cost inefficiency in each of the last three seasons.

This season, KU paid more than $1 million more per win than the school that had the lowest rate of return last season.â&#x20AC;?

By the way, the same story says Kansas State ranked sixth in the country in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most cost effectiveâ&#x20AC;? category. The Kansas State football program and its coach, Bill Snyder, won 11 games this season, which figures out to $200,000 for each win.

The KU cost figure, as well as those for all schools, does not include the costs of scholarships, improvements in the physical plants, payoffs for fired coaches, tutoring costs, medical expenses and other expenses tied into a football program.

The millions of sports fans who read the USA Today story, as well as millions of others who merely scan the sports pages but are interested in higher education, in particular, KU sports fans and alumni, must be asking

COMMENTARY themselves, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who is responsible for this sorry and embarrassing situation?â&#x20AC;?

There are a lot of targets in this finger-pointing exercise:

Former KU Athletic Director Lew Perkins, who nicked KU and Kansas Athletics for millions, fired the very capable Mark Mangino, hired the very ineffective Turner Gill, all of

which left Weis with little to work with

The KU administration, which allowed this situation to develop

Those who serve on the Kansas Athletics board who apparently didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care or have no power

Members of the Kansas Board of Regents, who evidently donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concern themselves with the athletic fortunes of the schools under their supervision

And/or alumni who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak up, ask questions and demand performance, not only from the athletic department but also from the entire university operation Alumni and friends of KU should be embarrassed by the football program, as well as oth-

er shortcomings at KU, but history shows very few in this category are sufficiently concerned to call for better performances.

Once again, Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute of Politics, put together a timely, interesting and highly informative postelection conference.

years to discuss all aspects of the just-completed campaign.

All comments are on the record, and all participants are candid in their thoughts about the campaigns. For a political junkie or anyone giving serious thought to the possibility of seeking the presidency, attendance at the gathering at the Dole Institute should be a must.

For example, it would seem any of those, such as Sen. Marco Rubio or Rep. Paul Ryan, who already are being mentioned as possible front-runners for the GOP nomination, should have had one of their advisers in the audience to hear about campaign strategies, what worked and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for Romney or Obama, and many other facets of the campaign.

He was on site at the club Friday handing out new membership cards.

Hours of the facility also wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change.

But what will change is that members should expect a major remodeling of the facility, which was bought â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not leased â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Genesis. Steven said he hopes to start construction soon on a project that will change the exterior of the building and really be a complete remodel of the interior space. He said that will include new weight and cardio rooms and equipment, new locker rooms and new furnishings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We usually spend millions of dollars outfitting and remodeling a club,â&#x20AC;?

Steven said.

Steven said he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to do that at Genesisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; South Iowa location because he has been unsuccessful in purchasing the real estate of that location. Steven said the south Iowa Street location will remain open for the foreseeable future, and he said the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term plan is to operate two locations in Lawrence. But Steven made it clear he likes owning rather than leasing, so he stopped short of saying whether the company will remain at the South Iowa location for the long-term.

Steven said he hopes to have the remodeling work at the former LAC spot completed by September or October. He said the club will remain open during construction, which will be done in phases to minimize disruptions to members.

No word yet on what longtime LAC owner Rick Sellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future may have in store. Based on old stories weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done on him, I think he has been in the athletic club business for about 30 years.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trade in the works that sounds mighty familiar from my youth: Trading books for bats and balls.

University Book Shop, 1116 W. 23rd St., is on the way out, and Jockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nitch sporting goods is on the way in.

Scott Ozier, a store manager for Jockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nitch, told me the company will be vacating its space at 916 Massachusetts St. in order to offer a more full-line sporting goods store in the much larger space on 23rd Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will allow us to carry a lot more sporting goods,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan Boler, another manager at the company, which has eight stores in eastern and central Kansas and another five in Missouri and Oklahoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a need for

2012 election and being able to use many of the resources they developed and used in the 2008 election effort. They also were able to develop deep campaign strategies to be used against whomever Republicans nominated for their presidential candidate.

Added to this was their concentration on organization, organization and organization at every level of the campaign. They had the money and time to put together the largest and best-organized campaign from those who knocked on the doors to those who told the door-knockers where to knock and what to stress to those who answered the door.

The technical backup in information provided to campaigns was more sophisticated than in any previous campaign.

Romney had to survive a bruising primary campaign, which cost his team more than $87 million, and he was not able to put together the large presidential campaign organization until after he won the primary. He did not have the time to prepare a national effort, and his campaign work-

ers were dwarfed by the Obama powerhouse, even though record amounts of money were raised by both campaigns.

Democrats worked to get voters registered and to the polls ward by ward, door by door, precinct by precinct.

The multimillion-dollar super PAC funds do, indeed, operate independently from the campaign and often are not as helpful or effective as the public might think.

Romney was damaged far more in the primary by the attacks on him by his primary opponents than any attack Obama may have used in his campaign.

Nothing negative about Obama seemed to stick, no matter how hard the GOP tried. In addition to the $87 million spent

by Romney in the primary, the millions spent by other Republican hopefuls helped to deplete the GOP war chest. Both Republican and Democratic panelists used terms like â&#x20AC;&#x153;genius,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;brilliant,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;fascinatingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;fabulousâ&#x20AC;? in describing the planning and organization of the Obama effort.

Romney was more concerned about the ability of his vice president to serve as president than who would bring in the most votes. Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection of Ryan helped energize many in the Obama campaign. At the end of the GOP primaries, Romney was the GOP â&#x20AC;&#x153;nomineeâ&#x20AC;? but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the GOP â&#x20AC;&#x153;leader.â&#x20AC;?

Bill Clinton was the perfect spokesman for Obama at the convention because he energized and motivated the party.

Conventions provide the opportunity to elevate a candidate, get people on stage who help validate the candidate.

Are national conventions a thing of the past?

Are they necessary and are future conventions likely to be smaller and less expensive?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Organizing works,â&#x20AC;? one Democratic panel member said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you can change the world.â&#x20AC;?

Approximately 45 million to 50 million people took advantage of early voting, and Obama won the early voting by eight points.

The question of early voting and voter identification sparked more observer interest than about any other topic. It was pointed out that a large share of early voting took place before the end of the presidential debates, meaning millions of voters cast ballots before they heard all the issues.

At one point, many in the audience applauded when a panel member spoke against voter identification and reducing early voting.

The size of crowds at campaign stops is the worst possible indicator of voter support.

It was pointed out Obama was supremely confident of his own ability and talents and often didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heed or want the advice of others.

Several panel members said it is doubtful that the Democratic Party will be able to generate the same commitment and zeal for its next presidential candidate as Obama did this year with his support from minorities.

Again, Lacy does an excellent job of putting together and inviting panel members and then serving as the panel moderator.

it in Lawrence. There are not a lot of options in Lawrence right now, and we think the location on 23rd Street will make it easier for people to get to.â&#x20AC;?

The Jockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nitch store at 837 Massachusetts St. will remain open. That store serves as the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s KU fan shop store, focusing on apparel and other team merchandise rather than sporting goods.

The new store on 23rd Street will be more than twice as large as the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store on Massachusetts Street.

Ozier said the new store can handle a larger line of products in all categories, but he said the soccer section is expected to expand significantly, and more football gear is expected during season as well. In addition, the company will start running a team center out of the store, selling custom apparel to youth and high school teams.

Ozier said he hopes the store can be open by April 1. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store at 916 Massachusetts St. was closed last week, but reopened Friday to begin a moving liquidation sale. Ozier said the store will be open through the holidays, but likely would close in early 2013, and then reopen a few months later on 23rd Street.

No word yet on when the last day for the University Book Shop will be.

It does not come as a surprise that UBS is leaving the location. We reported earlier this year that the building was on the market. Plus, the owners of UBS also own Jayhawk Bookstore, which has a prime textbook selling location right on the edge of the KU campus.

In addition, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reported on two apartment projects that are either under way or have filed plans for the area north of Sixth and Wakarusa. Plus, plans have been filed for a new residential development near the southeast corner of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway. In addition to about 30 single-family homes, it includes about 50 duplexes and 85 new apartments.

So the Sixth Street corridor is showing signs of growth. But, at the moment, apartments rather than single-family homes are dominating the action.

Plans have been filed at Lawrence City Hall to revive a unique apartment proposal that would include building a new ninehole golf course in northwest Lawrence.

In fact, the plans have expanded since they first were filed back in late 2007.

Almost anybody who follows the Lawrence business scene can tell you that local entrepreneur Doug Compton has a growing enterprise.

That never will be more evident than next year when groups led by Compton begin work on a pair of multistory buildings at Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

But what may not be as evident to the general public is that Compton also has a growing banking enterprise. A new deal has recently put that on display.

De Soto-based Great American Bank on Nov. 30 finalized its purchase of Lone Summit Bank of Lake Lotawana, Mo., which now will become a branch of Great American Bank. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significant in Lawrence because Great American Bank is owned by First Financial Bancshares Inc., a Lawrence-based bank holding company that is led by Compton.

First Financial Bancshares also is the holding company that owns Lawrence Bank and its two lo-

A 32-year-old Nortonville man pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of involuntary manslaughter In Jefferson County District Court stemming from a double-fatality accident in March.

Brian J. Keefe also pleaded guilty to two counts of driving under the influence, said Jefferson County Attorney Jason Belveal.

Keefeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle veered left of center during a two-vehicle accident that killed two occupants of another vehicle, 38-year-old Shawn K. Fraker, of Winchester, and 27-yearold Daniel Shawn Walker, of Oskaloosa.

The crash occurred on Hickory Point Road about six miles north of Oskaloosa and just southwest of Winchester.

While Keefe was out on bond for the March accident, he was arrested again for DUI in August. Keefe is scheduled for sentencing Jan. 10. Belveal said Keefe is likely to serve a prison sentence of between 38 to 86 months.

cations in the city. But it has been Great American Bank that really has been the aggressively expanding enterprise at First Financial. In 2009, Great American Bank purchased First Bank of Kansas City at 39th and Main from the FDIC. Travis Hicks, Great Americanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and CEO, said in a statement that the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth strategy is likely to continue as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bank will continue to look for opportunities to expand throughout the market.â&#x20AC;?

Also expect some activity from Lawrence Bank in the near future. The company will be getting a brand new facility as part of Comptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to build a multistory apartment and office building at the northeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire. Lawrence Bank currently has offices in the former Black Hills Energy building that is on the site and will be demolished as part of the project.

Plans for the new building show a bank and drive-thru lane occupying a good part of the first floor of the new building.

According to a September filing with the FDIC, First Financial Bancshares had about $128.2 million in assets. With this latest deal, the total is expected to grow to about $155 million in assets.

According to records with the FDIC, the company has grown its assets by about 30 percent since late 2008. The latest FDIC report shows the bank holding company had net operating income of about $1.3 million, up from about $565,000 in 2008.

Compton, according to the most recent annual report from the Kansas Secretary of Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, serves as president of the bank holding company. Other directors of the company include Lawrence residents Jeff Hatfield, Les Dreiling and Hicks. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

City to consider zoning request for new KU sports park BACKGROUND

City commissioners will consider approving the zoning for a new Kansas University sports park near the northeast corner of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway.

The request is for 90 acres to be rezoned from agricultural to general public and institutional uses.

The zoning would allow KU to build a new track and field stadium, soccer field and softball stadium, along with other features. It also would clear the way for the city

to build a new $25 million recreation center at the park, but commissioners are not taking any action on the recreation center proposal at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting.

Staff members are still negotiating agreements with Kansas University Endowment, which will own the land where the

park will be located. City officials have said they are comfortable with moving forward with the rezoning before agreements are reached on the recreation center because KU has indicated it plans to proceed with the sports park regardless of whether the city locates a recreation center there.

Man pleads guilty to at 2121 Kasold Drive. The Angel Tree is a fundraising child porn charge event that allows people

A 66-year-old Nortonville man pleaded guilty Thursday in Jefferson County District Court to a charge of child pornography.

Burton K. Tribble entered the plea as part of a plea deal with prosecutors, who dropped an additional charge of child exploitation, accordCOURTS ing to court documents.

Jefferson County Attorney Jason Belveal said another Kansas law enforcement agency identified Tribble as a potential possessor of child pornography earlier this year, and his office began investigating.

Tribble is scheduled for sentencing Jan. 24. Possession of child pornography is a level-5 offense, punishable by up to 136 months in prison, depending on the offenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criminal history.

Meals on Wheels seeks drivers, funds Lawrence Meals On Wheels is seeking both regular and substitute drivers to deliver meals to home-bound seniors and others with special dietary needs.

The local program currently serves between 120 and 130 people a day, executive director Kim Cullis said. About 90 percent of the clients need financial help to pay for their meals, she said, although no one is denied service because of inability to pay.

Cullis said the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional Angel Tree is now up in the office

to buy an ornament for the tree for $5, the average amount it costs to provide a daily meal.

The local program delivers meals between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

Officials say the routes usually take an hour or less to complete. People interested in donating or volunteering as drivers can contact Lawrence Meals on Wheels at 830-8844.

Meals on Wheels gets most of its funding through various grants, the United Way and the Douglas County Community Foundation, as well as through private donations.

TV crew to search for Bigfoot in Kan. WICHITA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A film crew for an Animal Planet network show is coming to Kansas next month to look for evidence that Bigfoot might be roaming the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding Bigfootâ&#x20AC;? producer Sean Mantooth says the TV crew will be in the Wichita area in late January to film scenes for the show. He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say where the hunt will take place because he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anyone to try to pull a hoax.

The Wichita Eagle reported a town hall meeting is scheduled for Jan. 26 in the Wichita area, but Mantooth says the location hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been determined.

The most recent Bigfoot report in Kansas was in Sedgwick County in 2006 by a husband and wife who said they felt like they were being watched, then heard a guttural growl.

Pearl Harbor dead remembered

By Audrey McAvoy

PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than 2,000 people at Pearl Harbor and many more around the country on Friday marked the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack that killed thousands of people and launched the United States into World War II. The USS Michael Murphy, a recently christened ship named after a Pearl Harbor-based Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan, sounded its shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whistle to start a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., the exact time the bombing began in 1941.

Crew members lined the edge of the Navy guidedmissile destroyer in the harbor where the USS Arizona and USS Utah, battleships that sank in the attack, still lie. Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 fighter jets flew overhead in a special â&#x20AC;&#x153;missing manâ&#x20AC;? formation to break the silence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let us remember that this is where it all began.

Let us remember that the arc of history was bent at this place 71 years ago today and a generation of young men and women reached deep and rose up to lead our nation to victory,â&#x20AC;? Rhea Suh, Interior Department assistant secretary, told the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let us remember and be forever grateful for all of their sacrifices.â&#x20AC;?

About 30 survivors, many using walkers and canes, attended the commemoration.

Edwin Schuler, of San Jose, Calif., said he remembered going up to the bridge of his ship, the USS Phoenix, to read a book on a bright, sunny Sunday morning in 1941 when he saw planes dropping bombs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whoa, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using big practice bombs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? said Schuler, 91.

Schuler said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returned for the annual ceremony about 30 times because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to spread the message of remembering Pearl Harbor.

Ewalt Shatz, 89, said returning to Pearl Harbor â&#x20AC;&#x153;keeps the spirit going, the remembering of what can happen.â&#x20AC;?

Shatz, who lives in Riverside, Calif., was on board the USS Patterson that morning when the alarm sounded. His more experienced shipmates were down below putting a boiler back together so Shatz found himself manning a 50-caliber machine gun for the first time. The Navy credited him with shooting a Japanese plane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was some good shooting,â&#x20AC;? said U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Cecil Haney who recounted Shatzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience in the keynote address. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for your courage and tenacity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; our nation is truly grateful.â&#x20AC;?

Online, Pearl Harbor became a popular topic on Facebook and other social networks, trending worldwide on Twitter and Google Plus as people marked the anniversary with status updates, personal stories of family and photos.

The Navy and National Park Service, which is part of the Interior Department, hosted the ceremonies held in remembrance of the 2,390 service members and 49 civilians killed in the attack.

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event gave special recognition to members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, who flew noncombat missions during World War II, and to Ray Emory, a 91-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor who has pushed to identify the remains of unknown servicemen.

The ceremony also included a Hawaiian blessing, songs played by the U.S. Pacific Fleet band and

CARSON CITY, NEV. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Nevada woman survived on snow and tomatoes for nearly a week and found shelter in a hollowedout tree after she became stranded in a winter storm and her boyfriend died trying to find help, a family member said.

Paula Lane of Gardnerville was rescued Wednesday along a dirt road in the Sierra Nevada after her brother, suspecting the couple might have returned to Burnside Lake where they had camped before, took a highway front loader and went looking for her, the Nevada Appeal reported.

Chemical weapons risk: Syrian missiles, shells Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Growing fear that civil war in Syria could unleash the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first use of chemical weapons in nearly three decades is based on two grim scenarios â&#x20AC;&#x201D; neither considered likely but both carrying risks of civilian massacre and a major escalation of violence.

The first is that President Bashar Assad, in a last-ditch effort to save his regime, would order chemical attacks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either as a limited demonstration to the rebels of his willingness to use the internationally banned weapons, or in a largescale offensive designed to turn the tide of a conflict that already has killed an estimated 40,000.

The second is that some

portion of Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arsenal could be moved to Iran or Lebanon or fall into the hands of foreign fighters with ties to terrorist groups who are helping Syrian rebels.

What kinds of chemicals are in question? What weapons?

News confirmed by The Associated Press this week that an unknown number of weapons in Syria were recently loaded with the nerve agent sarin brought the Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fears into sharp relief.

Syria has never confirmed that it even has chemical weapons. But it is believed to possess substantial stockpiles of mustard gas and a range of nerve agents, including sarin, a highly toxic substance that can suffocate its victims by paralyzing muscles around their lungs.

James Quinlivan, a Rand Corp. analyst who studies the elimination of weapons of mass destruction, said Syria is thought to have hundreds of tons of chemical weapons material, including not only sarin and mustard gas but possibly also the nerve agent VX, which, like sarin, kills by attacking the central nervous system.

Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saddam Hussein used sarin and mustard gas on Kurds in northern Iraq in a 1987-88 campaign that killed thousands.

That was the last time state-controlled chemical weapons were used; a Japanese doomsday cult unleashed sarin in the Tokyo subway system in 1995, killing 13.

The precise dimensions of Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chemical weapons arsenal are not known, in part because it

MCKENNA POPE, 13, RIGHT, AND HER BROTHER GAVYN BOSCIO, 4, pose for a photo Thursday at their home in Garfield, N.J. McKenna started a petition demanding the toy company Hasbro make its Easy-Bake Oven more boy friendly.

Teen: Easy-Bake Oven should appeal to boys

By Michelle R. Smith Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Four-year-old Gavyn Boscio loves to cook and asked for an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas. But when his big sister went to buy one, she discovered to her disappointment that it comes only in girly pink and purple, with girls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and only girls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the box and in the commercials.

So the eighth-grader from Garfield, N.J., started an online petition asking Pawtucket, R.I.-based Hasbro to make the toy ovens in gender-neutral colors and feature boys on the package.

By Friday, 13-year-old McKenna Popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petition had garnered more than 30,000 signatures in a little more than a week.

And celebrity chef Bobby Flay, who owned an Easy-Bake Oven as a boy, is among those weighing in on her side.

In a video McKenna made to accompany her petition on Change.org, Gavyn whips up a batch of cookies and tells his sister he wants a dinosaur and an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas. When she asks him why there are no boys in the commercial for Easy-Bake Ovens, he explains: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because only girls play with it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, the way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re marketing this product is influencing what he thinks and the way that he acts,â&#x20AC;? McKenna said in an interview. She said her little brother would probably be OK playing with a purple-and-pink oven by himself but would be too embarrassed to use it in front of his friends.

A spokesman for Hasbro did not return calls for comment.

In a letter McKenna received on Monday, a Hasbro representative told her the company has featured boys on the packaging over the years and said a brother and sister were finalists for

the Easy-Bake â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baker of the Yearâ&#x20AC;? award in 2009. Hasbro also pointed to Flay as an example of a chef who traced his career to an early experience with the EasyBake.

McKenna found the response disappointing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All they really told me is that boys play with their products. I already know boys do play with your products, so why are you only marketing them to girls?â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to make a boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Easy-Bake Oven and girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Easy-Bake Oven. I want them to make an EasyBake Oven for kids.â&#x20AC;?

The debate over whether toy companies are reinforcing gender stereotypes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pinks and princesses for girls, guns and gross things for boys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seems to flare every year, particularly at Christmas, and has involved such things as Legos, toy microscopes and Barbie dolls. Now, it has extended to another one of the most beloved baby boomer toys, introduced in the 1960s.

Flay, 47, said he asked for an Easy-Bake for Christmas when he was about 5. He remembers it as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;putrid greenâ&#x20AC;? and recalls baking cakes with his mother from mixes. (The Easy-Bake Oven back then used a light bulb as a heating element; now it operates more like a real oven.)

At the time, he said, the stereotype was that only women cooked, but a lot has changed since then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot tell you how many young boys are my fans. And they want to grow up, and they want to cook,â&#x20AC;? the Food Network star said.

Jim Silver, a toy expert and editor in chief of Timetoplaymag.com, played with an Easy-Bake himself as a kid and said boys still play with it, just as girls play with Hot Wheels cars. He said Hasbro is simply marketing to the audience most likely to buy the oven and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with that.

their credit cards more often in October and borrowed more to attend school and buy cars. The increases drove U.S. consumer debt to an all-time high.

The Federal Reserve said Friday that consumers increased their borrowing by $14.2 billion in October from September. Total borrowing rose to a record $2.75 trillion.

Borrowing in the category that covers autos and student loans increased by $10.8 billion. Borrowing on credit cards rose by $3.4 billion, only the second monthly increase in the past five months.

The strong rise in borrowing came in a month when American cut back on consumer spending, reflecting in part disruptions from Superstorm Sandy.

Many consumers may also have scaled back because of fears about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliff.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the name for automatic tax increases and spending cuts that will take effect in January if Congress and the Obama administration fail to strike a budget deal by then.

Job gains defy Sandy, fears of fiscal cliff

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It takes more than a superstorm to derail the U.S. job market.

Employers added 146,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate dipped to 7.7 percent, a four-year low, the government said Friday.

Though modest, the job growth was encouraging because it defied disruptions from Superstorm Sandy and employersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns about impending tax increases from the year-end â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliff.â&#x20AC;?

Analysts said the job marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underlying strength suggests that if the White House and Congress can reach a budget deal to avoid the cliff, hiring and economic growth could accelerate next year.

A budget agreement would coincide with gains in key sectors of the economy.

Builders are breaking ground on more homes, which should increase construction hiring. U.S. automakers just enjoyed their best sales month in nearly five years. And a resolution of the fiscal cliff could lead businesses to buy more industrial machinery and other heavy equipment. That would generate more manufacturing jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ground is being prepared for faster growth,â&#x20AC;? said Nigel Gault, an economist at IHS Global Insight.

House GOP leader John Boehner said Friday that the two sides had made little progress in talks seeking a deal to steer clear of the cliff.

The White House used Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixed jobs report as an argument to push President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed tax-rate increases for top earners, public works spending and refinancing help for struggling homeowners.

Superstorm Sandy, contrary to expectations, dampened job growth

only minimally in November, the government said.

Job gains were roughly the same as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150,000 monthly average, and the unemployment rate fell two-tenths of a percentage point to its lowest level since December 2008.

That suggests that fears about the cliff havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t led employers to cut staff, though they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hiring aggressively, either. The economy must produce roughly twice Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job gain to quickly lower the unemployment rate.

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report included some discouraging signs.

Employers added 49,000 fewer jobs in October and September combined than the government had initially estimated. Monthly job totals come from a survey of 140,000 companies and government agencies, which together employ about 1 in 3 nonfarm workers in the United States.

The unemployment rate, derived from a separate survey of households, fell because 229,000 people without jobs stopped looking for work and so were no longer counted as unemployed.

The household survey asks about 60,000 households whether the adults have jobs and whether those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t are looking for one. Those without a job who are seeking one are counted as unemployed. Those who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t counted as unemployed.

All told, 12 million people were unemployed in November, about 230,000 fewer than the previous month. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still many more than the 7.6 million who were out of work when the recession officially began in December 2007.

A broader gauge counts the unemployed, plus part-time workers who want full-time work and people who have given up looking for a job. That total added up to 22.7 million people in November, down from 23 million in October.

Obama approval rises postelection WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A month after the bitterly fought election, President Barack Obama has his highest approval ratings since the killing of Osama bin Laden, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll, and more Americans say the nation is heading in the right direction now than at any time since the start of his first term.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval rating stands at 57 percent, the highest since May 2011, when U.S. Navy SEALs killed the terror leader, and up 5 percentage points from before the election.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

By Julhas Alam

DHAKA, BANGLADESH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The factory where 112 garment workers died in a fire should have been shut down months ago. The fire department refused to renew the certification it needed to operate, a top fire official told The Associated Press. And its owner told AP that just three of the factoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight floors were legal. He was building a ninth.

Government officials knew of the problems, but the factory just kept running.

The Capital Development Authority could have fined Tazreen Fashions Ltd. or even pushed for the demolition of illegally built portions of the building, said an agency official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. But it chose to do nothing rather than confront one of Bangladeshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful industries, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I must say we have our weaknesses. We could not do that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only Tazreen. There are hundreds more buildings.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the truth.â&#x20AC;?

Bangladeshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $20 billiona-year garment industry, which accounts for 80 percent of Bangladeshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total export earnings, goes virtually unchallenged by the government, said Kalpona Akter, executive director of the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity, a labor rights group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These factories should be shut down, but who will do that?â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any good government inspector who wants to act tough against such rogue factories would be removed from office. Who will take that risk?â&#x20AC;?

Fire officials did challenge the factory, though they appeared reluctant to go too far.

When the factoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire safety certification expired June 30, Dhakaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire authorities refused to renew it, a fire official told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

A factory must be certified to operate, but the department usually gives factory owners some time to upgrade conditions. If they fail to do so, the department can file a court case to get it closed down.

But it rarely does, and did not in Tazreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These factories should be closed, but it is not an easy task,â&#x20AC;? the fire official said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to follow a protracted legal battle.

Always there is pressure because the owners are influential. They can manage everything.â&#x20AC;?

The Nov. 24 fire tore through the ground floor of the behemoth white, concrete factory, which fills most of a block in the Dhaka suburb of Savar.

About 1,400 employees were cutting fabric and sewing clothes for WalMart, Disney and other Western brands.

GOP leaders giving too much on fiscal policy WASHINGTON — Let’s understand President Obama’s strategy in the “fiscal cliff” negotiations.

It has nothing to do with economics or real fiscal reform. This is entirely about politics. It’s Phase 2 of the 2012 campaign.

The election returned him to office. The fiscal cliff negotiations are designed

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Such nonsense abounds because Obama’s objective in these negotiations is not economic but political: not to solve the debt crisis but to fracture the Republican majority in the House.”

to break the Republican opposition and grant him political supremacy, something he thinks he earned with his landslide 2.8-point victory margin on Election Day. This is why he sent Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to the Republi-

cans to convey not a negotiating offer but a demand for unconditional surrender. House Speaker John Boehner had made a peace offering of $800 billion in new revenues. Geithner pocketed Boehner’s $800 billion, doubled it to $1.6 trillion, offered risible cuts that in 2013 would actually be exceeded by new stimulus spending, and then demanded that Congress turn over to the president all power over the debt ceiling.

Boehner was stunned.

Mitch McConnell laughed out loud. In nobler days, they’d have offered Geithner a pistol and an early-morning appointment at Weehawken.

Alas, Boehner gave again, coming back a week later with spending-cut suggestions — as demanded by Geithner — only to have them dismissed with a wave of the hand.

What’s going on here?

Having taken Boehner’s sword, and then his shirt, Obama sent Geithner to demand Boehner’s trousers. Perhaps this is what Obama means by a balanced approach.

He pretends that Boehner’s offer to raise revenues by eliminating deductions rather than by raising rates is fiscally impossible. But on July 22, 2011, Obama had said that “$1.2 trillion in additional revenues ... could be accomplished without hiking tax rates, but could simply be accomplished

PUBLIC FORUM

Get serious To the editor: It’s time America got serious about environmental issues.

When researchers informed us several years ago that global warming was a real threat and that extreme weather conditions would accompany climate change, many U.S. legislators ignored these warnings.

They labeled these comments as outrageous rhetoric by a bunch of fear-mongering scientists who were attempting to gain funding for worthless research.

Now that America is experiencing the very types of weather patterns researchers predicted, you would assume this would temper voices of ignorance. However, instead of yielding to reality and admitting we have a major crisis on our hands we concede only half way. We acknowledge that climate change is occurring but that our contribution is insignificant. Or, even worse, we understand that we have a major part to play in this cataclysmic disaster but we lack the initiative to push for real change.

As long as America continues to withhold support for lower carbon emission standards, prevent legislation that would support funding for renewable energy, allow big oil to rule over our best interest and elect legislators who could not pass a high school chemistry course, then what chance do we have?

OLD HOME TOWN

At least 6,300 people had flocked to Hoch Auditorium to listen to two conYEARS certs of traditional AGO Christmas music IN 1987 at Kansas University’s annual Vespers program this past Sunday.

It had been standing room only at the evening concert, according to Roger Stoner, assistant chair for the department of music and dance, and the total from donations from the afternoon and evening performances was $3,683.

by eliminating loopholes, eliminating some deductions and engaging in a tax reform process.” Which is exactly what the Republicans are offering today.

As for the alleged curative effect on debt of Obama’s tax-rate demand — the full rate hike on the “rich” would have reduced the 2012 deficit from $1.10 trillion to $1.02 trillion.

That’s a joke, a rounding error.

Such nonsense abounds because Obama’s objective in these negotiations is not economic but political: not to solve the debt crisis but to fracture the Republican majority in the House. Get Boehner to cave, pass the tax hike

with Democratic votes provided by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and let the Republican civil war begin.

It doesn’t even matter whether Boehner gets deposed as speaker. Either way, the Republican House would be neutered, giving Obama a free hand to dominate Washington and fashion the entitlement state of his liking.

This is partisan zerosum politics. Nothing more. Obama has never shown interest in genuine debt reduction. He does nothing for two years, then spends the next two ignoring his own debtreduction commission. In less than four years, he

has increased U.S. public debt by a staggering 83 percent. As a percentage of GDP, the real marker of national solvency, it has spiked from 45 percent to 70 percent.

Obama has never once publicly suggested a structural cut in entitlements. On the contrary, he created an entirely new entitlement — Obamacare — that, according to the CBO, will increase spending by $1.7 trillion.

What’s he thinking?

Doesn’t Obama see looming ahead the real economic cliff — a European-like collapse under the burden of unsustainable debt?

Perhaps, but he wants to complete his avowedly

transformational socialdemocratic agenda first, and let his successors — likely Republican — act as tax collectors on the middle class (where the real money is) and takers of subsidies from the mouths of babes.

Or possibly Obama will get fiscal religion and undertake tax and entitlement reform in his second term — but only after having destroyed the Republican opposition so that he can carry out the reformation on his own ideological terms.

What should Republicans do? Stop giving stuff away. If Obama remains intransigent, let him be the one to take us over the cliff. And then let the new House, which is sworn in weeks before the president, immediately introduce and pass a full across-the-board restoration of the Bush tax cuts.

Obama will counter with the usual all-but-therich tax cut — as the markets gyrate and the economy begins to wobble under his feet.

Result? We’re back to square one, but with a more level playing field.

The risk to Obama will be rising and the debt ceiling will be looming. Most important of all, however, Republicans will still be in possession of their unity, their self-respect — and their trousers.

Governors justified in resisting Obamacare Editor’s note: The following comment originally appeared in the Nov. 28 issue of the Wall Street Journal.

Obamacare is due to land in a mere 10 months — about 300 days — and the administration is not even close to ready, so naturally the political and media classes are attacking the governors and state legislators who decline to help out. Mostly Republicans, they’re facing a torrent of abuse in Washington and pressure from health lobbies at home.

But the real story is that Democrats are reaping the GOP buyin they earned. Liberals wanted government to re-engineer the entire health care system and rammed the Affordable Care Act through on a party-line vote, not stopping to wonder whether it would work. Now that implementation is proving to be harder than advertised, they’re blaming the states for not making their jobs easier.

The current rumpus is over Obamacare’s “exchanges,” the bureaucracies that will regulate the design and sale of insurance and where 30 million people (and likely far more) will sign up for subsidized coverage. States were supposed to tell the Health and Human Services Department if they were going to set up and run an exchange by October, but HHS delayed the deadline to November, and then again at the 11th hour to December.

Sixteen states have already said they won’t participate. Another 11 are undecided, while only 17 have committed to doing the work on their own. Six have opted for a “hybrid” federal-state model.

That means HHS will probably be responsible for fallback federal exchanges in full or in part in as many as 25 or 30 states.

“

Now that implementation is proving to be harder than advertised, they’re blaming the states for not making their jobs easier.”

political as practical. Or rather, the vast logistical and technical undertaking to build an exchange helps explain why so many governors resisted Obamacare in the first place.

States have regulated the small business and individual insurance markets for decades (some well, others less so). Now they’re supposed to toss everything out for a complex Washington rewrite, which is still being rewritten. The exchanges will also help enforce the individual mandate and premium increases. They’ll also have to spend a ton of money. Ohio estimates it will cost $63 million to set up an exchange and $43 million to run annually, based on a KPMG study.

Most spending will go to information technology, in an era when many states still run Medicaid using paper forms and pneumatic tubes. These systems are supposed to allow consumers to review health plans online (or in person and by mail and fax), pick one and then ping HHS and the Internal Revenue Service to determine who is eligible for what subsidies. Private businesses spend years developing and refining such consumer software. States need to fund call centers to field queries and even hire “navigators” to actively encourage people to enroll.

The main problem is that states are being conscripted as federal contractors. HHS has declined to reveal basic opera

tional details except to make The opposition isn’t so much clear that state-based exchanges

LAWRENCE

COMMENT won’t really be run by the states.

“No matter which option is chosen,” as Scott Walker put it, “Wisconsin taxpayers will not have meaningful control over the health-care policies and services sold to Wisconsin residents.”

So if things don’t work, voters will blame the governors for decisions made in Washington. And when it turns out that Obamacare’s costs are underestimated and its benefits exaggerated, they’ll have enabled an entitlement that many of their constituents oppose. The wonder is that any GOP leaders — ahem, Chris Christie and Rick Scott — are still playing Hamlet.

Partly that may be due to the insurance and provider lobbies, especially the hospitals. They’re furious that states might spoil the deals they cut with the White House and frantic for new revenue, which will only flow with the subsidies. (Note that health industry stocks rallied on President Obama’s re-election.) They’re also generally more powerful at the local level and favor state-run exchanges as easier to manipulate. But governors who give in are setting themselves up as political fall guys, just as the insurers will be when premiums inevitably spike.

We suggested at first that states could try to spin straw into gold, ignore HHS and try to adopt a marginally less destructive approach. One state that tried is Utah, which built an impartial insurance clearinghouse in 2009 based on “defined contribution, consumer choice, and free markets,” as Gov. Gary Herbert put it in a November letter to HHS. Now he’s asking Washington to accept “Utah’s version of a health insurance exchange,”

What the Lawrence Journal-World stands for

even though it clearly does not comply with Affordable Care Act provisions. HHS claims it is trying to be flexible, so this will be a useful test.

But the main reason HHS and Obamacare partisans are trashing the state hold-outs is that the federal government isn’t any better equipped to make the plan a success. HHS’s reputation as one of the most dysfunctional agencies is notorious. To take one example, an Obamacaremandated update to a major computer network called the System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing, which governs insurance approvals, has been delayed by months.

HHS’s bandwidth is likely to be fried and its personnel overloaded by the workload of 25 exchanges or even 16. And the effort will be complicated by the serious legal questions and eventual lawsuits about the statutory authority of a federal exchange to dispense subsidies at all.

The Affordable Care Act barely passed and then barely survived Supreme Court review and the 2012 election. Now the entitlement is hurtling toward a truthin-advertising moment, and liberals are terrified that it won’t produce the results they promised. That was always likely given the central planning architecture of Obamacare, but now the likes of Mr. Walker are declining to do their work for them and depriving them of scapegoats.

The day after Obamacare passed, we invoked the “Pottery Barn” rule that Colin Powell once applied to Iraq: You break it, you own it. Washington is about to break it, and the states are saying they won’t be accomplices.

“If any conference understands what Grant of Rights means, it’s the Big Ten,” the official said.

With that in mind, if the Big Ten were interested in snagging a school from the Big 12, or even the Pac-12, it would, or at least should, do so with the understanding that the move could weaken the whole GOR concept and, therein, make all three conferences more vulnerable.

Because of that, many within the Big 12 believe its members are as off limits as you can get in today’s world.

Interestingly enough, the SEC has neither a Grant of Rights agreement nor an exit penalty.

Tennessee turns to Cincyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jones KNOXVILLE, TENN. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Butch Jones was pondering whether to leave Cincinnati this week to coach Colorado when he received a text message that inadvertently foreshadowed his eventual destination.

It was from Denver Broncos quarterback and Tennessee great Peyton Manning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was selling me on Colorado,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said it was hard for a person from the University of Tennessee to be selling somebody to come to the

University of Colorado. I wanted to text him back, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Come on, I want to go to Tennessee.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly where Jones ended up.

Tennessee introduced Jones on Friday as its successor to Derek Dooley, who was fired Nov. 18 after going 15-21 in three seasons. Jones called Tennessee his dream job and said he was taking over â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best college football program in America.â&#x20AC;?

The 44-year-old Jones has a

50-27 record in six seasons as a head coach. He went 27-13 in three seasons at Central Michigan and was 23-14 at Cincinnati the last three years. He now faces the task of rebuilding a former Southeastern Conference power that has posted three consecutive losing seasons.

Jones agreed to a six-year contract worth $18.2 million, ending a tumultuous couple of days for both himself and his new school. Colorado had of-

&2%% 34!4% ()'(

fered him a five-year deal worth at least $13.5 million.

Tennessee went after at least two other candidates before hiring Jones.

During the 19-day search to replace Dooley, the Volunteers contacted ESPN analyst and former Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden, who indicated he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested. The Vols then pursued Charlie Strong, who said Thursday he had turned down their offer and would stay at Louisville.

Ex-Browns lead Chiefs during crisis

SUNDAY â&#x20AC;˘ at Cleveland, noon

30/243 /. 46 TODAY College Basketball

By Marla Ridenour Akron Beacon Journal

Romeo might be their rock.

But the most poignant comments in the wake of last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kansas City Chiefs tragedy came not from their 65-year-old coach Romeo Crennel, the former Browns coach, but from quarterback Brady Quinn.

It was Quinn, the Brownsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first-round pick in 2007 who is playing for his third NFL team, that gave the world something deeper to think about than just the horror of what happened on Saturday. Linebacker Jovan Belcher killed girlfriend Kasandra Perkins, the mother of their 3-month old daughter Zoey, then drove to Arrowhead Stadium and committed suicide in front of Crennel, General Manager Scott Pioli and defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one thing people can hopefully try to take away, I guess, is the relationships they have with people,â&#x20AC;? Quinn told reporters after leading the Chiefs to a 27-21 victory over the Carolina Panthers Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know when it happened, I was thinking what I could have done differently. When you ask someone how they are doing, do you really mean it? When you answer, are you really telling the truth? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in a society of social networks, with Twitter pages and Facebook, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine.

But we have contact with our work associates, our family, our friends, and it seems like half the time we are more preoccupied with our phone and other things going on instead of the actual relationships we have right in front of us. Hopefully, people can learn from this and try to actually help if someone is battling something deeper on the inside than what they are revealing on a day-to-day basis.â&#x20AC;?

Quinn, 28, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what prompted his revelation. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been shy about professing his faith. He heard about teen suicide rates when working with Christian youth groups during his two years in Denver. He said when he grew up in Dublin, Ohio, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a cell phone in junior high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like every kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a cell phone and every kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the Internet,â&#x20AC;? Quinn said during a conference call with Browns media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times people hide their issues, their problems, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to anyone until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late.â&#x20AC;?

According to Quinn, their â&#x20AC;&#x153;steady forceâ&#x20AC;? has been Crennel, whom he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen waver since Saturday, when â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of people were emotional and rightfully so.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say that Crennel isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been overwhelming, but I try to compartmentalize,â&#x20AC;?

Crennel said during a conference call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have moments here and there. You get past your moment and then do what you have to do to keep things going.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away from it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never be able to go away from it.â&#x20AC;?

HEISMAN TROPHY FINALIST JOHNNY MANZIEL of Texas A&M speaks to reporters during a media session Friday in New York. The Heisman Trophy will be awarded tonight.

Suspense to end tonight for Heisman hopefuls NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o was looking forward to a break after a five-city-in-five-days tour, during which he has become the most decorated player in college football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to get a workout in and get some sleep,â&#x20AC;? he said Friday about his plans for the night.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel seemed to have more energy when he arrived at a midtown Manhattan hotel with his fellow Heisman Trophy finalist. In fairness, Johnny Footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s week hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been nearly as hectic, though this trip to New York city is different from the first time he visited with his family when he was young.

Manziel and Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o spent about 30 minutes getting grilled by dozens of reporters in a cramped conference room, posed for some pictures with the big bronze statue that they are hoping to win and were quickly whisked away for more interviews and photo opportunities.

Manziel, Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o or Collin Klein, the other finalist who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to town Friday, each has a chance to be a Heisman first tonight.

Manziel is trying to be the first freshman to win the award. Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o would be the first winner to play only defense. Klein would be Kansas Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Heisman winner.

Manziel and Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o were on the same flight from Orlando, Fla., where several college football awards were handed out last night. The 6-foot1, 200-pound quarterback was just happy the 255-pound linebacker didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to record another sack when they met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big guy,â&#x20AC;? Manziel said, flashing a big smile from under his white Texas A&M baseball cap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he might stuff me in locker and beat me up a little bit.â&#x20AC;?

GOLF

Love, Snedeker combine for 62 NAPLES, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III and Brandt Snedeker shot a 10-under 62 on Friday in modified alternate-shot play to take the first-round lead in the Franklin Templeton Shootout.

Love and Snedeker made 10 birdies for the lowest score in the modified alternate-shot format in the 24-year-old tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 years in Naples. They tied the third-lowest score overall.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

LSU guard suspended BATON ROUGE, LA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; LSU coach Johnny Jones says starting guard Anthony Hickey has been suspended indefinitely because of an unspecified violation of athletic department and university policies.

Hickey, from Hopkinsville, Ky., had started three games this season and was averaging 10.2 points a game.

PRO FOOTBALL

Fund started for Belcher child KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Chiefs say they have established a trust fund for the 3-month-old girl left without parents when linebacker Jovan Belcher shot her mother and then killed himself.

The Chiefs announced Friday that the Zoey Michelle Belcher Irrevocable Trust will be established with contributions from the Hunt family, who own the team, as well as Chiefs players, coaches and staff. The public may contribute.

76ers 95, Celtics 94, OT PHILADELPHIA — Evan Turner had 26 points and 10 rebounds, and Thaddeus Young added 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead Philadelphia to an overtime win over Boston on Friday night.

Turner drove past Courtney Lee and tossed up an off-balance, righthanded shot for a 95-94 lead with 3.9 seconds left.

Boston guard Rajon Rondo slipped and his ankles buckled on the last possession, costing him a chance to hit the potential gamewinner, a dud ending to his sizzling triple-double.

The same two teams meet again tonight in Boston.

Rondo had 16 points, 14 assists and a season-high 13 rebounds. Kevin Garnett had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Paul Pierce scored 27 points. Jeff Green, who gave Boston its last lead in OT with a three-pointer, scored 19 points.

Iowa snaps streak vs. ISU

IOWA FORWARD AARON WHITE (30) FIGHTS FOR A REBOUND with Iowa State forward Anthony Booker during the first half on Friday in Iowa City, Iowa.

IOWA CITY, IOWA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Aaron White had 18 points to lead Iowa past rival Iowa State 80-71 on Friday night, snapping a threegame losing streak against the Cyclones.

Freshman point guard Anthony Clemmons added a season-high 14 points and eight assists for the Hawkeyes (8-2), who also beat Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg for the first time in three tries.

Iowa blew a 10-point lead in the first half. But the Hawkeyes took control with an 8-0 run to start the second half and led the rest of the way.

Iowa improved to 7-0 at home this season, while the Cyclones (6-3) lost for the third time in five games.

Korie Lucious and Percy Gibson each scored 14 points for Iowa State. Will Clyburn, the leading scor-

er for the Cyclones this season, was held scoreless.

After three years of futility at the hands of the Cyclones, the Hawkeyes really wanted this one.

They proved it with a stellar second half.

Iowa began the final half with eight quick points to retake the lead, and Josh Oglesbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3 from the corner put them ahead 60-51 with 10:18 left. Iowa State had a chance to get within five with just over 8 minutes left, but Lucious bricked a 3 and White took it back for a one-handed flush and a 67-57 lead.

The Cyclones kept it close, but the ever-improving Clemmons followed a jumper with a 3 to keep them at bay.

Clyburn missed all five of his shots from the field and grabbed just three re-

bounds in by far his worst game yet for Iowa State.

Lucious also had seven assists but seven turnovers, while Clemmons turned it over just once.

Iowa started three freshmen and came out with the energy to prove it.

The Hawkeyes forced turnovers on Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three possessions in rolling out to a 14-5 lead.

White, a sophomore, kept the crowd on its toes with a pair of soaring alley-oop dunks.

But freshman Georges Niang kept the Cyclones from getting blown out, scoring all of his 13 points in the first half. And even though the Cyclones looked as though they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out of their own way at times â&#x20AC;&#x201D; committing 12 turnovers in the first half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hot shooting allowed them to crawl

0 #%

ahead 32-31 late in the first half.

Iowa State was bailed out by its bench early, as the reserves scored 27 of its first 36 points, and Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued struggles from 3-point range.

Iowa shot just 5-of-20 from 3-point range but was much better inside the paint.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

LHS boys go small, win big

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

STILWELL — To counter Olathe North’s height, Lawrence High coach Mike Lewis chose to go short.

The lineup switch couldn’t have gone much better, as starting five guards sparked the Lions in a 56-41 victory over North on Friday afternoon at the Blue Valley Shootout.

“We realized that even our big men were not that big, so we thought to get out and run would be really good against them,” LHS senior guard Jake Mosiman said. “It worked out pretty well.”

North, which features four players 6-foot-5 or taller, didn’t adjust well to LHS’s quick starting five in the opening minutes.

The Eagles missed their first eight shots, as the Lions opened the game on a 6-0 run before extending that lead to 11-2.

North never led after that point.

“It definitely caught them off-guard,” LHS freshman guard Justin Roberts said. “Once they got back into it, I think we already were in a flow that we couldn’t be stopped.”

Lewis chose to start 6-foot guard Drake Hofer in the place of a traditional forward, hoping that his short five would create mismatches.

“Before we came out after the warmup, that’s what I emphasized with our guys is, ‘Here we go. We’ve got our guards. What are they going to do (to adjust) to us?’” Lewis said.

LAWRENCE HIGH’S ANTHONY BONNER (15) PULLS BACK FOR TWO during the Lions’ 56-41 victory over Olathe North on Friday at the Blue Valley Shootout in Stilwell.

The shorter lineup provided the Lions with a quick-scoring offense in transition, helped by sophomore guard Anthony Bonner, who led the fast-charging pace.

“Part of the five-guard set was to get out and go — and go fast,” Mosiman said. “That’s what we did and did it really well.

Bonner’s really fast going down the court with the

ball. Nobody could stop him today.”

Mosiman, meanwhile, helped defensively by doing his best to body up.

The skinny 6-foot guard oftentimes defended a North post player in the lane, many times going against someone five inches taller and at least 75 pounds heavier than him.

“Last year, I guarded quick little guards. It’s a

big difference,” Mosiman said with a smile. “It’s more fun for me. I like guarding the post. I like challenging for rebounds against them, seeing what they can do.”

LHS kept its lead by hitting outside shots, making 7 of 16 three-pointers (44 percent).

Roberts led the Lions, posting 20 points on 6-for12 shooting while making 3 of 6 threes. Bonner added 16 points on 5-for10 shooting with 2-for-3 accuracy from deep.

Mosiman was the only other LHS player in double figures with 13.

North made just 13 of 45 field goal attempts (29 percent).

“We did a lot better defensively,” Roberts said.

“Our guards were a lot more scrappy in the paint.

We went for loose balls.

We were hustling a lot better. I think we just outhustled the other team.”

LHS (2-1) will play Olathe Northwest in the fifth-place game of the Blue Valley Shootout at 2:45 p.m. today.

Said Law: “I think we’ve got the athletes to play that way and I think we’ve got the skill set. I think that better serves what we’ve got right now. I’ve always wanted to play that way and sometimes in the past we’ve been able to do it. But that was how I’d like to see this team play.”

Lane credited junior forward Cole Moreano (10 points) for jump-starting the highly productive night. Moreano scored seven points in the first minute-and-a-half and FSHS led 27-15 after the first quarter.

“Cole gave us a big boost right off the bat,” Lane said. “Once he started going everybody picked up right after him.”

Bench sparks ‘D’ in FSHS girls’ win

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Free State High’s girls basketball team didn’t allow a second-half lull to ruin its home opener Friday night.

When Shawnee Heights slashed the Firebirds’ 17-point halftime lead to four midway through the third quarter, FSHS coach Bryan Duncan turned to his bench. Summer Frantz, Ariana Frantz and Courtney Parker teamed with starters Scout Wiebe and A’Liyah Rogers to give their team just the defensive combination it needed.

Within minutes, the Firebirds got back on track and buried the Thunderbirds, 73-49.

“Obviously, we weren’t happy to see a lead disappear like that,” Duncan said, “but honestly we weren’t really mad. We just needed a different look.”

Heights (1-2) scored 19 points in the first few minutes of the second half after struggling throughout the first half, shooting 7-for-20. That’s when Duncan decided to give his senior bench players — the Frantz twins and Parker — a shot. Duncan said they gave Free State (1-1) the match-ups it needed on the defensive end.

“That’s the nice thing about having so many seniors,” Duncan said.

“We’re able to put quality players on the court.”

The T’birds only managed two more points the remainder of the third and FSHS closed the game on a 31-12 run in the final 10 minutes.

Rogers, who scored seven of her 12 points in the fourth quarter, said the Firebirds felt too confident about their doubledigit halftime lead.

“We weren’t communicating (in the third quarter). We were just kind of being lazy on defense,”

Rogers said. “Nobody was giving it their hardest.”

But they soon found resolve to finish strong after failing to do so in their season-opening loss three days earlier.

“We need to keep that mentality of ‘We’re up.

Let’s stay up and keep going,’” Rogers said.

Wiebe scored 13 of her team-best 17 points in the second half. Between the junior forward, Rogers and junior Millie Shade’s eight points off the bench in limited minutes, Free State found a number of options to compliment senior guard Kennedy Kirkpatrick, who finished with 14 points, five assists and three steals.

Said Duncan: “That’s what we need. Every game, hopefully we’ll have different people step up and be productive.”

Rogers agreed: “Kennedy does a lot for us, and we need to learn how to step up and do what we need to do to help her out.

I know she doesn’t want to be the only one out there trying to do everything.”

Free State finished with a monster fourth quarter, outscoring Heights 24-10 in the final eight minutes.

In that stretch, Kirkpatrick had five points, Chelsea Casady scored four and Ilene Tolbert added six more in the final minutes.

The Firebirds play again at 5:45 p.m. today at Lansing.

Seabury boys regroup but lose at tournament J-W Staff Reports

PAOLA — Michael Kressig scored 12 points and Mito Owino added 10, but Seabury Academy’s boys basketball team fell to Heritage Christian, 5448, on Friday in the Paola Tournament.

After trailing by 15 points at halftime, the Seahawks made it close in the second half.

“We turned it around the third and fourth quarters,” Seabury coach Ashley Battles said. “We won the third and fourth quarters.”

Seabury outscored Heritage 32-23 in the second half.

Peter Shin and Harley Holub added six points apiece for the Seahawks, and Marcus Allen scored five.

Seabury (0-3) will play Monday in Wichita against the Wichita Defenders.

Boyle CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“That clock used to be up there,” Boyle added, pointing to the south end rafters where KU’s retired jerseys are now located.

“I remember playing for coach (Larry) Brown.

When he would say, ‘One more time, guys. One more rep,’ that meant another half-hour. You looked right up there at that clock,” noted Boyle, who played his final two seasons at KU for Brown, his first two for Ted Owens.

“What is great about this place is the nostalgia.

I wanted our players to experience this.”

Boyle’s third CU team (7-1) will meet (6-1) KU at 1 p.m., today, in a Saturday matinee in the fieldhouse.

He and his wife, fellow KU graduate Ann (their children Jack, Pete and Claire had school activities on Friday and couldn’t make the trip) enjoyed the short drive from Lawrence’s airport to the fieldhouse Friday night. The Buffs touched down at 7:30 p.m., Friday, and will head back to the mountains shortly after today’s game.

“Just driving down Naismith Drive or driving down the streets where you used to go to movies, where you used to bank is pretty neat,” Boyle said. “I was a little disappointed Bucky’s Burgers is not there any more. It’s a barbecue joint now.”

The 49-year-old Boyle — who has been a head coach at Northern Colorado and assistant at Wichita State and Jacksonville State under former KU guard Mark Turgeon as well as an assistant at Oregon and director of basketball operations at Tennessee — is a proud member of the Brown and Owens coaching trees.

“I spoke to coach Owens two days ago.

We scrimmaged coach Brown’s (SMU) team earlier in the fall,” said Boyle, a native of Greeley, Colo.

“Both are great men, great coaches and great influences on my life.”

Boyle also is on great terms with current KU coach Bill Self, whose college career at Oklahoma State coincided with Boyle’s at KU. Self, who is 10 days older than Tad, went 5-5 against Boyle’s KU teams.

“I tell everybody I loved it when we played Kansas.

Tad was the only guy slow enough I could guard and he loved it when he played Oklahoma State because I was the only guy slow enough he could guard,” Self said. “It was two hardrocking dudes guarding each other.

“Ask Tad if he would ever recruit me or I would ever recruit Tad and the answer is ‘absolutely not’ for both of us,” Self added.

Boyle laughed out loud when told of Self’s comments: “He’s probably right on both counts. I would have had a better chance of recruiting Bill than Bill would have recruited me. He was scrappy and tough. I remember every time he drove to the bucket he’d grab your shirt or jersey. He had some toughness about him,” Boyle said.

“I think the world of Bill.

Every time I have a chance, I tell him as a former (KU) player I’m really proud and happy of the job he’s done here. He’s taken the program to new heights.”

Boyle is off to a sensational start at Colorado.

He’s led the Buffs to 24 victories in each of his first two seasons. CU won the Pac-12 postseason tourney title and reached the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 a year ago.

The fans have taken notice.

CU has sold out three of four home games this season, including a Coors Events Center record crowd of 11,708 for Wednesday’s 70-61 vic-

tory over Colorado State.

The Buffs have had 12 sellouts in Boyle’s three seasons.

“That’s one of the first steps (in building a program),” Boyle said of getting the fans involved.

“Obviously you have to win some games. Basketball in Boulder is a special thing now.”

He had the fans in mind when he pursued scheduling KU in a home-andhome series.

Remember, this is a series that’s been one-sided throughout the years. KU has won 18 in a row and 45 of its last 46 over the Buffs, who went 0-3 versus KU two seasons ago in Boyle’s first season in Boulder, CU’s last season in the Big 12.

KU also has won 28 in a row over CU in Allen, CU’s last win coming during Boyle’s senior season at KU. “It’s a great opportunity,” said Boyle, who has two of the top players in the Pac-12 in Spencer Dinwiddie (17.8 ppg, 4.8 rpg) and Andre Roberson (12.0 ppg, 11.5 rpg). Askia Booker and Josh Scott average 14.1 and 12.0 ppg respectively.

“I mean it (KU) is a national program, obviously I’ve got ties to it and part

Furthermore, the agreement makes KU far less desirable. Imagine if KU jumped to the Big Ten and played a football game against Michigan or Ohio State at Memorial Stadium and the Big Ten did not get a dime from it.

Not happening.

So where does this leave the Big 12? Strong as is. Stronger than ever.

Considering the value of the Big 12’s current TV contracts, along with the revenue that is soon to come as a result of the conference’s partnership with the SEC that created the Champions Bowl, each member of the Big 12 is looking at a guaranteed take of nearly $30 million per year for the length of the contracts.

That sets the bar awfully high for the Big 12 to even entertain the idea of expanding.

“If you’re thinking about taking two schools you’ve gotta go to your TV partners and say, ‘We’re taking these two schools in; we want $60 million more.’ It ain’t gonna happen,” a Big 12 administrator said.

of it is I wanted to challenge our fans. When we came to Colorado as a coaching staff ... they always said the only games they sold out were the KU games and half the stadium was KU people. I thought with the progress our program has made, this will be a great test next year to see if our season ticket holders can step up and we can keep the Jayhawk fans out of there.

In the meantime it gives us a chance to get a heck of a road game, a great RPI game and opportunity to come to a special place.

Our players are looking forward to this.”

KU coach Self said today’s game figures to present a stern test for the Jayhawks. CU has wins over Wofford (74-59), Dayton (67-57), Baylor (60-58), Murray State (81-74), Air Force (89-74), Texas Southern (85-80, 2OT) and CSU to go with a loss at Wyoming (76-69).

“Tad and his staff have done a great job. His guys play with great freedom offensively. We’ll see that when they come in here Saturday,” Self said. “He has some kids that were pretty highly recruited, maybe not as highly as you would think. They did a great job of evaluating and projecting and coaching. Certainly those guys have turned out to be really good players.”

Of the KU challenge, Boyle said: “They’ve got some seniors. They’ve got some veterans. It seems every team we play against they have more experience and more seniors. Against Colorado State midway through the second half they are making a run at us we had four freshmen and a sophomore on the floor. We’ve got some youth we are going to try to overcome.”

O Randle to visit: Julius Randle, a 6-9 senior forward from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, will attend the KU-Texas game on Feb. 16 as part of an official recruiting visit to KU. Randle, who is ranked No. 2 nationally by Rivals.com, also is considering Kentucky, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma and North Carolina State.

O KU to play Arkansas?: ESPN’s Andy Katz said it is likely KU will play Arkansas next season in Allen Fieldhouse in the first SEC/Big 12 Challenge.

Katz said the Jayhawks had some scheduling issues and couldn’t work out details to play Florida.

The Jayhawks have no interest in playing Missouri in the event. KU has decided to not schedule MU in any sports following the Tigers’ decision to leave the Big 12 last year.

Why not?

Because most highranking officials within the Big 12 don’t believe that any schools out there are worth that kind of money.

And why not?

Because that’s what the television partners say.

Juco prospects to visit KU this weekend

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

National signing day is two months away and the Kansas University football team has nearly half a class left to fill.

With that in mind, this seems to be a big weekend for KU coach Charlie Weis and the Jayhawks, who will welcome 15 prospects on their official visits to campus, according to a report from JayhawkSlant.com.

Included among the visitors are a handful of players who already have committed to the Jayhawks. So far, KU has landed 13 oral commitments in the Class of 2013 and Weis said they have room for a total of 27.

Kansas City-area quarterbacks Jordan Darling (SM East) and Montel Cozart (Bishop Miege) will be in town this weekend, as will Basehor-Linwood High tight end Ben Johnson and Dallas safety Colin Spencer.

While those four high school standouts already orally committed to KU, the rest of the group remains undecided. Judging by several comments that have shown up on Facebook and Twitter, this group will do its best to help the KU coaching staff land the others.

One of the biggest names — and bodies — expected to be in town this weekend is Josiah St. John, one of the top-rated junior-college offensive linemen in the country.

The 6-foot-6, 305-pound St. John hails from Trinity Valley Community College (the same school as defensive tackle Ty McKinney) and has one of the most impressive offer lists of the entire group. Thirteen BCS programs have extended scholarship offers, including Big 12 schools Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and West Virginia.

In addition, St. John has received offers from Arkansas, Texas A&M and Washington.

Another notable name at a key position is Trevor Pardula, a 6-5, 210-pound kicker from De Anza (Calif.) College. KU assistants Tim Grunhard and Clint Bowen have tag-teamed Pardula’s recruitment and Rivals.com lists San Jose State as the 6-5, 210-pound December-graduate’s only other offer.

In all, 10 of the weekend’s 15 visitors are juniorcollege players, something right in line with what Weis has said would be his strategy this offseason.

“The more the merrier,” said Weis midway through the 2012 season when asked about adding juniorcollege prospects. “As long

“

As long as kids care about education and come here with the intent to graduate and aren’t just coming here to make a one year stop to get to the NFL, as long as they want to come here and get a KU degree and help us win and are good citizens, bring them on.”

— KU football coach Charlie Weis on recruiting junior-college players as kids care about education and come here with the intent to graduate and aren’t just coming here to make a one year stop to get to the NFL, as long as they want to come here and get a KU degree and help us win and are good citizens, bring them on.”

While Weis’ immediate emphasis may be on junior-college talent, he also has said throughout his first season that it’s important to bring in a balance of players who are ready to go now and players whom a coach can develop.

Of the five high school prospects coming to town this weekend, only Ishmael Hyman, a 6-foot, 169-pound wide receiver from St. John Vianney High in Holmdel, N.J. is uncommitted.

Regardless of how things pan out with the junior-college prospects, Weis seems intent on bringing in a bunch of new faces this offseason.

“I know one thing, we’ve got 27 spots, and there’s a good chance there’s going to be 27 people to fill those spots that we like,” he said. “There’s a good chance of it. It might be 26, but it’s going to be right there.”

Here’s a look at the other junior-college prospects expected to make visits to KU this weekend: Q Lyndon Tulimasealii — 6-4, 270, defensive end, College of the Desert Q Mike Smithburg — 6-3, 300, offensive lineman, Iowa Western C.C. Q Kevin Short — 6-2, 185, cornerback, Ft. Scott C.C. Q Damien Parris — 6-7, 295, offensive lineman, Contra Costa C.C. Q Isaiah Johnson — 6-1, 210, safety, Iowa Western C.C. Q Desmond Hollin — 6-4, 265, defensive end, ASA College Q Trevor Harris — 6-5, 235, defensive end, ASA College Q Matt Finnin — 6-8, 330, offensive lineman, College of DuPage

Surviving the Do Jewish people give holidays: a guide gifts for Hanukkah like for the introvert Christians and secular people do for Christmas?

BIRTHS

Holiday merrymaking and family togetherness can take a toll on those of us with limited energy for socializing and a high need for quiet.

No season is more demanding for us than this, the Most Extroverted Time of the Year, which starts with Halloween and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end until Jan. 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at which point introverts all over the country will go home, shut the door and not speak to anyone for at least a month.

Just so you know: Introverts are not shy, antisocial or socially anxious.

While extroverts gain energy from being around people, introverts are drained of it. So the action-packed holiday season is tough.

Yet we want to be part of it. We love our friends and family and holiday fun. The problem is that if we push ourselves too hard for too long, we get cranky and irritable. Peevish. And no fun for anyone, including ourselves.

For introverts, the secret to making it through the holidays (and life, for that matter) is energy management. We need to recognize the signs that our energy is flagging and develop strategies to recharge even if we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away completely. For example:

ENGAGEMENTS

By Sophia Dembling

The Dallas Morning News

For parties The bathroom break: Every introvert alive knows the exquisite pleasure of stepping from the clamor of a party into the bathroom and closing the door. You are alone.

The din is muffled. Nobody is in your personal space. Nobody is talking. The bathroom offers quiet sanctuary to let your over-stimulated brain relax. You may or may not need to use the facilities, but you definitely need to go to the bathroom.

The bookshelf backturn: Books are familiar friends, quiet friends.

You can turn your back on the room for a few minutes to study your hostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if the hubbub behind you barely exists.

Sometimes I just pretend to look at books to catch my breath.

The busy body: Some introverts like to be kitchen elves, finding glasses, wiping down counters and serving drinks. You meet a lot of people that way, but with purpose. Plus, at most parties, guests tend to gravitate toward the kitchen so you can find yourself in the midst of the action without exerting any mingling effort.

The getaway: Even when you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough, leaving a party isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy. When they realize youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to go, people will want you to believe either 1) you are going to miss the best party ever or 2) your absence will cause the entire party to collapse in gloom. Neither of these is true. In fact, once the door closes behind you, most people will

For introverts, the secret to making it through the holidays (and life, for that matter) is energy management. We need to recognize the signs that our energy is flagging and develop strategies to recharge even if we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away completely.

forget you were even there.

No offense, but you know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true.

So when you feel ready to leave a party, just leave.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave looking tired â&#x20AC;&#x201D; leave gleefully, with cheery waves all around, as if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on your way to another party. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big party, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say goodbye at all. Just slip out. Vanish.

Poof. You can send a nice thank-you note to your host the next day.

Family gatherings Fitness escape: I never go on an extended family visit without packing walking shoes. When the walls start closing in on me, I lace them on for exercise. Nobody can argue with that, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for me. I can usually buy an hour of solitude that way.

Hiding in plain sight: A family excursion to a mall affords the opportunity to wander off between the clothing racks, retreat into a dressing room or step alone into a shop.

Mysterious allusions to gifts should buy you some alone time. Movies are another escape without escape. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re together but not. You can either watch the movie or just go to the happy quiet place in your head for a couple of hours.

The pseudo-sacrifice: Volunteer to do the grocery shopping or run to the store for that forgotten ingredient, and you can stroll up and down the aisles, numbed by piped-in music, communing with nothing more taxing than Brussels sprouts and canned pumpkin.

Head space: Sometimes you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to leave the house. A jigsaw puzzle provides respite in the middle of whatever chaos surrounds it.

Working it, you shift your focus from the people to the puzzle, which never natters or nags. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also found that knitting helps keep some personal space in my brain during those family-just-sittinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;around times. I can remain cognizant of everything happening around me and participate, but the little task engages the wandering part of my mind and somehow approximates solitude in a crowd.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel guilty about any of this. You do everyone a favor when you manage your energy because an overextended introvert is no fun at all. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dallas writer Sophia Dembling is author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Introvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World,â&#x20AC;? from which this article was adapted.

Yes, but preserving identity is key Rabbi Neal Schuster, senior Jewish educator, KU Hillel, 722 New Hampshire St.: The plain answer to this question is, yes, Jews, particularly in America, do give gifts for Hanukkah in a way that is similar to Christmas. Yet, if you read any of the countless books on Jewish practice, or examine traditional texts on Hanukkah, you will search in vain to find instructions on the proper giving of gifts for Hanukkah.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not there, and the reason is because giving gifts for Hanukkah is a recent, mostly American phenomenon, one that owes much to the influence of Christmas. There are valid reasons to regard this practice with cynicism, viewing the adoption of this Christian custom as running exactly counter to the point of Hanukkah, with its emphasis on remaining true to our ways in the face of the appealing customs of the larger culture. We might also point out that the traditional Jewish holiday for giving gifts is Purim, in the spring.

But there are some reasons to view Hanukkah gift-giving in a positive

light. Consider the alternative: Without Hanukkah gift-giving, how many Jews would simply join Schuster in the spirit of the season by giving Christmas gifts to each other? Thus, Hanukkah gifts serve as an important vehicle for identity-preserving acculturation (as opposed to identity-sacrificing assimilation).

We can also connect Hanukkah gift-giving to the ancient custom of giving Hanukkah â&#x20AC;&#x153;geltâ&#x20AC;? (money), which likely originated as gifts to the poor so they would be able to light candles to celebrate the festival. In a contemporary echo of this custom, many Jews anonymously â&#x20AC;&#x153;adoptâ&#x20AC;? one or more poor families (Jewish or Christian), buying gifts for them to help add joy to their holiday.

Is it OK for Jews to give gifts for Hanukkah? If we can give while remaining true to our people, our values and our God, then, by all means, give. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Send email to Neal Schuster at schuster@kuhillel.org.

Sure, but focus on holidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meaning Rabbi Moti Rieber, Lawrence Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Drive: Of all the holidays on the Jewish calendar, Hanukkah has arguably been the one most affected by life in America. What was once a relatively minor holiday has, in recent years, become a Much Bigger Deal.

Countless American Jewish families have had to explain to their children, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No honey, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t celebrate Christmas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no Santa, no tree, no Handelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Messiahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but we have something great also: Hanukkah!â&#x20AC;? Not always convincing, to parents or children.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth remembering what Hanukkah celebrates. Many years ago, a small Jewish group defeated a much more powerful army that wanted to outlaw their way of life.

When the Jewish victors went to light the menorah (candelabra) in the Holy Temple, there was only enough oil for one day.

Miraculously, it lasted for eight.

If the kids like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Wars,â&#x20AC;? they might like the idea of the ragtag group of rebels defeating the Empire. But even then, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to expect

presents.

One thing I can tell you doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work is eight presents for eight nights.

That kind of Rieber thing only plays into the consumerism and greed that (excuse me) has affected Christmas.

Certainly, one night can be dedicated to the latest and greatest toy or game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not suggesting deprivation. But dedicate the other nights to more lasting values: hospitality to friends and neighbors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the traditional food of fried potato pancakes, or latkes; giving to those less fortunate, called tzedakah; fun family activities, like games (donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the dreidel!), crafts or playing that great new video game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; together.

So sure, include the presents, but also remember what makes Hanukkah worth celebrating in the first place: the miracle of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, the wonder that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still the Jewish people after all these years and the fact that we live in this amazing and wonderful country. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Send email to Moti Rieber at moti.rieber@gmail.com.

Dear Annie: I have a sister who is 10 years older. “Doris” lives in a retirement hotel, and we speak often on the phone and see each other once a month or so.

Recently, my oldest son told me he saw Doris dining in a posh restaurant. Even though I have since spoken to Doris, she never mentioned seeing my son. When I finally asked her why she hadn’t told me, she tried to make excuses that he was with business associates, but it still didn’t make sense that she never told me he was there.

I know she has kept secrets about other people, and when I’d find out from someone else, she would apologize. But why can’t she be open and trustworthy? My husband and I try to be considerate and helpful. We take her shopping, but she is always frustrated and negative. She never was a happy person to begin

with, but lately she seems worse. Instead of being grateful for her good health, she complains and is inconsolable. Shall I just accept how she is and pretend all is well? I have no desire to share anything with her anymore.

— Disgruntled in Calif.

Dear Disgruntled: There may be another reason why Doris neglected to mention your son’s appearance: She forgot. There seems to be no ulterior motive in keeping it a secret, so we think these things simply slide out of her head, and

that’s why she doesn’t mention them. As she gets older, this is likely to happen more often. Her complaining, unfortunately, may be part of her personality. You could suggest she see her doctor for a checkup and also propose that she concentrate on the good things in her life. You are one of those. Please try to accept her as she is.

Dear Annie: We recently hosted an early holiday, and I am still upset with the behavior of my husband’s 42-year-old niece. My husband has had some major medical issues. He’s doing fine with medication, but he has trouble learning new things, including how to work a complicated cellphone. My husband opted for a flip phone that’s easy for him to understand and use, but it’s hardly the latest thing.

During the visit, another family member called his phone to say hello.

to comply manner

IN-FORMED By Lewis Harper

12/8

As we passed the phone around, someone accidentally disconnected us, and we had to start over.

This niece made fun of the phone in front of the entire family and seemed intent on embarrassing him.

My husband is the most special person in my life, and it hurt to see this 42-year-old brat make fun of him. To me, this “teasing” is rude and thoughtless. Am I being oversensitive? How should I address her nasty comments in the future? — Miffed Dear Miffed: You do seem a bit oversensitive.

Teasing someone about a phone is not particularly personal, and we doubt the niece connected it to your husband’s medical issues, although you obviously did. The best response to this type of thing is to laugh. If she is looking to get a rise out of you, that will put a stop to it.
