Sports teams step up to help for holidays

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

As people begin their final push toward Christmas, Kansas University athletics figures to play a large part in this year’s holiday season for many.

Whether that comes in the form of Jayhawk basketball tickets tucked neatly into a carefully hung stocking, cheering for Bill Self’s boys on the floor or the promise of a seemingly stellar recruiting class brought in by KU football coach Charlie Weis, it seems, once again, that this year’s happy holidays message will be delivered with a crimson and blue hue.

For the Jayhawks themselves, however, the spirit of the season

is about more than entertaining the masses.

From men’s basketball and baseball all the way to golf and rowing, student-athletes at KU have made giving back a regular part of their holiday experience.

Evidence of such overtures turns up each year. It’s wellknown what the men’s basketball team does with its shopping trip for less fortunate families, and the women’s hoops team makes similar stops.

In just the past few days, the KU women enjoyed a shopping spree of their own and also showed up Monday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital to hand out presents to patients. “The holiday season’s such a special time of the year and

Some Lawrence parents got a nice surprise recently when they found out their layaway bills at a Lawrence Walmart had mysteriously been paid off.

Neely Sadler, of Lawrence, said she went to the Walmart store at 3300 Iowa St. Friday morning to make a layaway payment on Christmas gifts for her two young daughters only to be told she owed nothing. Her bill of about $140 had been paid off by an anonymous older couple.

A salesperson told Sadler the couple donated $600 for any layaways that included toys for children. More than one other bill was completely paid off by the secret Santas.

It was a welcome gesture, Sadler said. She and her husband were paying off several gifts at the store, including Legos and a toy car for their daughters McKenzie, 6, and Kylie, 2. “It was kind of nice to have my own Santa,� Sadler said. “I just want them to know how grateful I am.�

Inspired by the surprise, Sadler said, she handed off the $5 security deposit on her bill to another family who was shopping at the store. “I know it’s not much, but I want to pass on what I can,� she said.

More details emerge about project to create health campus

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

When Obamacare arrives in full force in 2014, it may bring with it a new $6 million to $8 million primary care clinic and mental health facility in central Lawrence.

The top executive at the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center confirmed the organization is working toward a capital campaign that would fund a new outpatient health care campus on the old Veterans of Foreign Wars post near Second and Alabama streets.

The new center, which HEALTH would be on a 13-acre site just a block away from Lawrence Memorial Hospital, would be designed to serve the thousands of people who are expected to have health insurance Please see HEALTH, page 2A

Secret Santas pay off layaway bills

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; State higher education officials on Wednesday started a discussion on whether to set tuition rates at public universities every two years.

Rates are now set annually.

Kenny Wilk, of Lansing, chairman of the Fiscal Affairs and Audit Committee of the Kansas Board of Regents, said a two-year tuition rate could improve long-term planning. He noted that Gov. Sam Brownback has said he will propose a two-year state budget when the 2013 legislative session starts next month.

Regent Fred Logan, of Leawood, expressed support of setting tuition for a twoyear period, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great idea with

Quantrill events to span all of 2013

Physician indicted for tax evasion

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I live Santa every dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Community leaders havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgotten that the 150th anniversary of William Quantrillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadly raid on Lawrence is coming up this August.

About 30 members from various organizations across the county gathered Wednesday afternoon to begin planning an entire yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of events to commemorate what most historians characterize as the defining moment in Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The raid created a situation where the community had to come together to survive,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Nowak, executive director of the Watkins Community M u s e u m of History. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They ended up expressing a desire to not only Quantrill survive, but thrive. It set the tone for Lawrence.â&#x20AC;?

The actual anniversary of the attack, which left nearly 200 residents dead, will be Aug. 21. Nowak said planning for a special evening memorial service in South Park is under way. Names of all the victims will be read.

But group members stressed Wednesday that they want a full yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of events to remind both residents and potential tourists of the importance of Quantrillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raid and also of how the city rebuilt itself.

Leaders from several groups participated in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, including the Lawrence Public Library, the Lawrence Arts Center, Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall Center for the Humanities, the KU Spencer Research Library, the Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frontier National Please see EVENTS, page 4A

GARY BROWNE ENTERTAINS CHILDREN at Baldwin Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dec. 8 Festival of Lights. The Baldwin City man has been making appearances as Santa Claus for 32 years.

Baldwin City Santa shares spirit of Christmas message year-round

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.info

Gary Browne says he often gets stares while eating in restaurants.

At 6 feet 8 inches, Browne is an arresting presence. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not his height that captures the attention of gaping youngsters. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Browneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long white hair, full white beard and wirerim glasses.

Adults who still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grasp the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination can get a clue by looking at the rear of the retired antique dealerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pickup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I live Santa every day,â&#x20AC;? Browne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even the tag on my truck says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SANTA.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

For 32 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; long enough to go through four red, fur-trimmed suits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Browne has assumed the role of Santa Claus. During that time, the longtime Baldwin

City resident who now lives south of the city has been a regular at the Baldwin Festival of Lights and its predecessors, arriving each year for the tree-lighting ceremony in an antique fire truck driven by his friend, Baldwin City Fire Chief Allen Craig.

Browne took over the job when asked by retiring Santa, Richard Brown.

He was a natural, even when he started in his mid-30s with prematurely white hair and a salt-and-pepper beard, Browne said. He did wear fake wire-rims rather than the prescription lens he sports now, but he always had the proper attitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved doing it, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always believed in the spirit of loving and giving,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty happy, but I always look

forward to Christmas.

I start to get excited in October.â&#x20AC;?

He now pumps up the fantasy with a fake white beard to cover his own impressive full beard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a big full beard for a while when I was single,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife keeps me in check.â&#x20AC;?

Browne stays busy during the Yule season, doing 25 to 50 different appearances for civic organizations, Scouts, hospitals, nursing homes and special visits to ill children. But you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find him at a mall or department store earning a check as Santa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it for money; I do it for the goodness of doing itâ&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have paid me through the years. I always give it to charity.â&#x20AC;?

The opportunity to assume Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iden-

tity has provided some memorable experiences, Browne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One year, there was a fire on the northeast side of town right at the time of the Christmas lighting,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A family lost all their belongings and gifts. I rode over there in the antique fire truck. I told them Santa would take care of them and they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be forgotten.

And they did have a wonderful Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a wonderful ending to a bad situation.â&#x20AC;?

Those kinds of experiences are very satisfying, and Browne knows others who have adopted the Santa persona, complete with beards and glasses, because of the rewards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s several of us out there,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A Lawrence physician and author was charged in federal court Wednesday with five counts of tax evasion and one count of making a false statement, according to a news release from the office of U.S. District Attorney of Kansas Barry Grissom.

Mary C. Vernon, 60, is accused of failing to pay federal taxes on income she earned working as a consultant and co-author for Atkins Nutritionals Inc., founded by the creator of the Atkins Diet, Robert Atkins.

Vernon is also accused of providing false tax return documents to UMB Bank in 2009 when she applied for a loan to refinance a home she shared with another person.

According to the news release, Vernon provided the bank â&#x20AC;&#x153;with documents purported to be copies of pages from federal income tax returns for herself and her partner in 2006 and 2007. In fact, she had filed no tax returns in 2006 and 2007.â&#x20AC;?

Vernon co-authored a book with Atkins in 2004, called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atkins Diabetes Revolution.â&#x20AC;? Vernon, who graduated from Kansas University School of Medicine in 1977, is currently a family practice physician in Lawrence, with an office at 1305 Wakarusa Drive. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had an active medical license in Kansas since 1978, according to state records.

Vernon, if convicted, could face up to five years in prison on each of the tax evasion charges, as well as 30 years for the providing a false statement charge. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173. Follow him at Twitter.com/shaunhittle.

County approves grant procedures despite revenue doubts

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Douglas County commissioners on Wednesday approved a process for distributing $325,000 next year for cultural and heritage conservation projects, despite concerns by one commissioner that the county could find itself in deep financial trouble after those grants have already been awarded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a continuing problem with funding this from property tax dollars, especially in light of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned recently,â&#x20AC;?

The city of Lawrence also is playing a major role. City Manager David Corliss said the city is providing $10,000 to fund a part-time position that will maintain a website, 1863Lawrence.com, that will serve as a one-stop shop for people wanting to learn about events related to the raid and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rebuilding.

Corliss also said a city committee is set to begin discussing early next year whether to recommend that the City Commission fund a project that would

Commissioner Jim Flory said.

Flory, the lone Republican on the commission, has never been a strong supporter of the program.

But he said he had specific concerns about using general fund dollars this coming year because of uncertainty about the 2013 budget and what may happen to state funding for various programs during the upcoming legislative session.

The schedule for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grant program calls for applications to be submitted by March 15. Those

applications would be reviewed and scored by the Heritage Conservation Council, with final review and approval of the grants by the County Commission around April 24.

Flory tried unsuccessfully Wednesday to push the final award date back until sometime after July 1, when the new state fiscal year starts. By that time, Flory said, county officials will have a better idea of their own budget situation as well as that of programs that receive state funding such as the Bert Nash Community Mental

He deals with children who think they have outgrown Santa Claus with the same message he shares with adults who

have that attitude, because in his view everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a child compared with Santa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to get kids to understand if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in my heart everybody believes in Santa.

Other organizations are further along in planning events. Some that were mentioned Wednesday include:

Watkins will open a new permanent exhibit on the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second floor, telling a story of Douglas County leaders and the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery from the raid.

A two-day bus tour will be hosted by Watkins and others. The tour will start in Cass County, Mo., where Quantrillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raiders gathered to make the trip to Lawrence. The tour will follow Quantrillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s route to Lawrence, stopping at historic locations along the way. The tour is set for Aug. 17-18.

The Spencer Museum of Art at KU plans to hold events around a new piece of art it has acquired that depicts Quantrillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raid.

Fred Conboy, president and CEO of Destination Management Inc., which oversees the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the community may be able to garner national attention during the year as well, as interest in the Civil War spikes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our chance to become a lightning rod in terms of becoming known nationally and internationally,â&#x20AC;? Conboy said.

Health Center and Douglas County Senior Services Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no idea what may occur with respect to our financial situation and those of the agencies we support,â&#x20AC;? Flory said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Specifically I think we should delay the application process until July 1 when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transpired at the Legislature. By then, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a much better handle on what our budget situation is.â&#x20AC;?

But the two other commissioners, both Democrats, said they saw no

need for a delay.

Commissioner Nancy Thellman, one of the original architects of the heritage grant program, said many of the projects that could be funded with county money may also qualify for federal preservation grants, and the proposed schedule coincided with deadlines to apply for federal grants. Delaying the process, she said, could disqualify some of those projects from qualifying for federal funds.

Asked on Massachusetts Street

Man charged with 2 robberies arrested

relatives, is scheduled for trial April 24.

A 35-year-old Maryland man who pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two robbery charges in Douglas County District Court was arrested Wednesday morning on a robbery warrant out of Delaware.

Daniel C. Cisneros, of Elkton, Md., is charged with a Nov. 25 robbery at Zarco 66 convenience store, 1500 E. 23rd St., as well as a Nov. 26 attempted robbery at Kwik Shop, 1611 E. 23rd St. Cisneros had been free on $10,000 bond until his arrest at 11 a.m. Wednesday in the 1700 block of Tennessee Street.

Sgt. Steve Lewis of the Douglas County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said the Delaware warrant is out of New Castle County and is for firstdegree robbery and criminal display of a weapon.

Calls to New Castle County police were not immediately returned.

Cisneros, who police say was in Lawrence visiting

Man in animal cruelty case was officer A 30-year-old former Baldwin City man arrested for animal cruelty last week was a Wellsville police officer at the time of the alleged crime, said Wellsville Police Chief S.W. Gillespie.

Jacob D. Stus, who now lives in Alaska, turned himself in to police Dec. 12.

A warrant had been issued for his arrest on charges of animal cruelty and interference with law enforcement.

Baldwin City Police Chief Greg Neis said Jacob D. Stus is accused of beating and killing an animal that came onto Stusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; property June 19.

Gillespie said Stus worked for the Wellsville police until August, when Stus resigned. Gillespie declined further comment about the case.

Stus is free on a $2,000 bond, and his next court appearance is Friday.

Low voter turnout not a problem

EDITORIALS

Job search Part of Kansas University’s mission should be to help graduates find employment in their fields of study.

K

ansas University officials are working hard to improve the school. They want to elevate the academic excellence of entering students, attract superior faculty members, reduce the number of student drop-outs, improve student recruiting and structure the curriculum so more students will be able to finish their degrees in four years, maybe less, and graduate with a smaller fiscal debt.

KU faculty, students, alumni and friends want their school to be a leader and to merit the reputation of a great university in every respect.

At graduation time, it is understandable there is increased thought and concern about what graduates will do after they receive their diplomas. Do they have jobs?

This is important for the graduates, as well as for the university. For example, US. News & World Report magazine downgraded the KU School of Law the past several years because of the low number of its graduates employed by law firms a year after their graduation.

Changes were made at the school, and KU law students now have far better counseling and help in getting jobs.

Too many students graduate at KU — and probably at most large universities — without the benefit of adequate counseling by faculty members on how to identify possible employers, how to fill out job applications, use networking, set up interviews, inquire about internships and many other aids to finding employment that ties in with the schooling they received.

What if KU was known as a top-flight university with good students and challenging and motivating faculty along with a superior program to identify and help find employment opportunities for its graduates?

It would be interesting to know what percentage of this month’s KU graduates will have a job a month from now, better yet, a job that jibes with their course work at KU. If a law school can be graded or compared with other law schools based on the number of graduates who have jobs a year after graduation, why shouldn’t a university, particularly one that aspires to academic excellence and high national recognition, also be graded or ranked somehow on how many of its graduates find jobs in fields related to their education?

(On the other hand, it should be remembered many university officials, maybe even faculty members, claim they don’t place much weight on academic and/or the U.S. News & World Report university rankings.)

WASHINGTON — The poet Carl Sandburg supposedly was asked by a young playwright to attend a rehearsal.

Sandburg did but fell asleep.

The playwright exclaimed, “How could you sleep when you knew I wanted your opinion?” Sandburg replied, “Sleep is an opinion.”

So is nonvoting. Remember this as the Obama administration mounts a drive to federalize voter registration, a step toward making voting mandatory.

Attorney General Eric Holder considers it self-evidently alarming that 60 million adult citizens were not registered in 2008. He wants Washington to register everyone automatically. “The arc of American history,” he says, “has bent towards expanding the franchise.” But the fact many people do not register to vote is not evidence that the franchise is restricted other than by voters’ inertia.

Holder’s argument for trusting Washington, which does so many things badly, to superintend elections capably should be judged against this loopy statement by him: “We should rethink this whole notion that voting only occurs on Tuesday.” This year, voting began in some states in September; as much as 40 percent of votes were cast before Election Day; 12 states allow online registration.

Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, head of Holder’s civil rights division, rightly says that voting too often is “an endurance contest” involving a long wait in line, frequently because

“

Turnout has not increased as the electorate has become more educated and affluent and as government has become more involved in Americans’ lives.” of questions about voters’ registrations. But the Heritage Foundation’s Hans von Spakovsky, a former member of the Federal Election Commission, says: “One of the reasons that state voter registration rolls are in such poor shape today — with large numbers of voters who are dead, have moved or are noncitizens — is because of the restrictive standards imposed by the federal government in 1993 by the National Voter Registration Act. That law made it very difficult to remove ineligible voters. Local jurisdictions were sued so often by the Justice Department when they tried to remove ineligible voters, many stopped trying to clean up their lists at all. That is why there are many places around the country where the number of registered voters is greater than the Census says there are individuals of voting age.”

Notice the perverse dialectic by which Washington aggrandizes its power: It promises to ameliorate problems exacerbated by its supposedly ameliorative policies.

Notice, too, the logic of Perez’s thesis that “our democracy is stronger when more people have a say in electing their leaders.” Therefore the public good would be served by penalizing nonvoting, as Australia, Belgium and at least 10 other countries do.

Liberals love mandates (e.g., health insurance). Why not mandatory voting?

In 1960, 62.8 percent of age-eligible citizens voted. In the 13 subsequent presidential elections, lower turnouts than this have coincided with the removal of impediments to voting (poll taxes, literacy tests, burdensome registration and residency requirements).

Turnout has not increased as the electorate has become more educated and affluent and as government has become more involved in Americans’ lives. There are four obvious reasons for nonvoting.

One is contentment.

Americans are voluble complainers but are mostly comfortable. Second, the stakes of politics are agreeably low because constitutional rights and other essential elements of happiness are not menaced by elections. Those who think high voter turnout indicates civic health should note that in three German elections, 1932-33, turnout averaged more than 86 percent, reflecting the terrible stakes: The elections decided which mobs would rule the streets and who would inhabit con-

centration camps.

Third, the winner-take-all allocation of electoral votes in 48 states — an excellent idea, for many reasons — means many state races without suspense. (After their conventions, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney campaigned in just eight and 10 battleground states, respectively.) Fourth, gerrymandered federal and state legislative districts reduce competitive races.

Because the likelihood of any individual’s vote mattering is infinitesimal, and because the effort required to be an informed voter can be substantial, ignorance and abstention are rational, unless voting is cathartic or otherwise satisfying. A small voting requirement such as registration, which calls for the individual voter’s initiative, acts to filter potential voters with the weakest motivations. They are apt to invest minimal effort in civic competence. As indifferent or reluctant voters are nagged to the polls — or someday prodded there by a monetary penalty for nonvoting — the caliber of the electorate must decline.

It has been said that for every complex problem there is a solution that is clear, simple and wrong. Washington soon may seek a complex “solution” — pre-emption of states’ responsibilities, federal micromanagement of elections, eventual coercion of lackadaisical citizens — to the non-problem of people choosing not to vote.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 20, 1912: “Editor YEARS Journal-World: I AGO have just read the IN 1912 article in yesterday’s paper, and might say I do not quite agree with the writer, and the suggestion, ‘That money spent for toys might be better employed in making children happy.’ What delights the heart of a child more than some toy or plaything, for their very own amusement? Perhaps the visitor never knew the joy or pleasure of possessing toys when a child, and cannot speak from experience.... A LITTLE money will go a long ways in buying simple, inexpensive toys.”

Gifts to inspire gardening I

n this season of gift-giving, I am often tempted to share my love of gardening with others in the form of plants, garden tools and miscellaneous garden accessories. I can easily convince myself that the right pair of pruners is exactly what my brother needs to take better care of his shrubs and a Chia Pet is just the thing to arouse my nieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in growing vegetables.

This kind of thinking can end up in disappointment for everyone.

Books and magazines If the person you are shopping for enjoys reading, a book or magazine subscription might be a simple way to let them learn enough about gardening that they will want to try it.

Something like Mel Bartholomewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Square Foot Gardeningâ&#x20AC;? has inspired many people over the years since the original publication in 1981, and a new edition is due out in February 2013.

I also enjoyed Linda Chalker-Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Informed Gardenerâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Informed Gardener Blooms Again,â&#x20AC;? which dispel a lot of gardening myths and misconceptions to get a new gardener started on the right foot.

TO INSPIRE A NON-GARDENER to try something new, consider an easy-to-care-for plant, helpful book or useful tool.

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

Non-gardeners can be lured into the gardening habit, but gardeners need to think more simply about what gifts will provide the most satisfaction.

This year, instead of sacrificial orchids and expensive tools that waste away their life in the garden shed, think about the very basic things you like about gardening.

Here are some basic rules for gift-giving from gardeners to non-gardeners.

Plants Many gardeners enjoy the sense of accomplishment

of keeping a plant alive and healthy and of encouraging the plant to bloom and produce fruit.

Most gardeners have lost a few plants (myself included) but compost the ones that fail and move on to the next species.

A non-gardener, however, may find it more difficult to try another plant when the first one fails. Instead of feeling accomplished, they may feel bad about the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ill health and be less interested in trying gardening than before.

If purchasing any kind of live plant, look for one that is easy to grow and appropriate for the light conditions in the

home, office or yard of its new owner.

A cactus garden or succulent garden might be an enjoyable adventure for someone who forgets to water, although they will certainly appreciate a more attentive caregiver also. An outdoor plant might be a better choice for the friend who tends to overwater.

Terrariums require little care and could bring a greater understanding of plant growth and ecosystems, but include instructions so your unsuspecting friend knows how little to water and how much light to provide.

I mentioned orchids be-

cause they are the most common gift plant that ends up sickly in my office. Orchids are fantastic gifts for gardeners who are interested in trying to grow orchids and have the right environment in their home or office.

If you find an irresistible one that you want to buy someone, take it out of the foil wrapper that will unsuspectingly hold water around the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots. Set the orchid into a decorative planter with drainage holes and a saucer, or re-pot it. Provide the recipient with written (so they can refer back to it) instructions on light, watering and re-potting.

Tools A nice trowel and highquality garden gloves might be useful to someone getting started, but a shovel or other big tools might just scare someone away.

If the gift recipient dabbles in the yard already, look for something they never knew they needed, like a Hori Hori knife (combination weeder/digger/ trowel), a good pair of bypass (curved blade) loppers or handsaw that cuts on the backstroke.

Save the compost bin for the more experienced gardener. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jennifer Smith is the Horticulture Extension Agent for K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County. She can be reached at 843-7058.

Juco standouts: Signing at KU the start of a dream

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Contributed Photos

STANDOUT DEFENSIVE LINEMEN MARQUEL COMBS, LEFT, AND CHRIS MARTIN, RIGHT, ARE ON THEIR WAY from the junior-college ranks to Kansas University’s football team after signing and faxing in letters of intent on Wednesday.

Future uncertain for Chiefs leaders KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The only person who seems to be at ease with the question about Romeo Crennel’s future with the Chiefs is the man who is being asked to answer it.

He’s a coach who has only managed to coax two wins out of a team predicted to compete for the AFC West title. He’s a guy respected and beloved in the locker room but who appears lost on the sideline, and who has had just one winning season in five years as an NFL head coach.

But he’s also a man who witnessed one of his own players commit suicide after committing murder, and then served Crennel as the face of a franchise in mourning.

He’s a man who shelved his own emotions to provide unwavering l e a d e r s h i p Pioli when the team walked into Arrowhead Stadium one day later and beat Carolina for one of those two victories.

“We’re in this business to win, because that’s how it’s kind of counted, by your win-loss record,” Crennel said this week, when asked about his future in Kansas City.

“When you’re not able to win,” he said, “you always wonder about yourself: What do I need to do more?

What haven’t I done? And those kinds of things.”

Nobody knows exactly how hot Crennel’s seat is in Kansas City, though.

Not even Crennel himself.

For one thing, general manager Scott Pioli’s job also appears on the line after a season marked by on-thefield misery and off-the-field atrocities. An unprecedented fan rebellion has been calling for his job for weeks, and it’s possible that the man who elevated Crennel from interim head coach to the full-time job last season may not be around long, either.

Pioli hasn’t spoken publicly since the Chiefs’ bye midway through the season, when he said that Crennel had his support. Pioli was with Crennel when linebacker Jovan Belcher took his own life outside the team’s practice facility, adding another layer of complexity to the decisions that will soon be facing Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt.

Then there’s the fact that Crennel simply won’t spend time pondering his fate.

For a college football team not playing in a bowl game, the Kansas University football program sure generated a lot of December hype on Wednesday.

Led by Pierce Community College defensive tackle Marquel Combs, the No. 1 rated junior-college player in the country according to ESPN, and City College of San Francisco defensive end Chris Martin, nine future Jayhawks signed and faxed their letters of intent to Lawrence on Wednesday.

Combs, the leader of his

recruiting class’ self-dubbed “Dream Team 2013” movement, signed mid-morning and faxed his letter to KU after a ceremony at Pierce with friends and teammates.

For the 6-foot-3, 310-pound Combs, signing on the dotted line wasn’t just a formality at the end of a long recruitment.

“Other than the day I was born, this was the biggest day of my life,” Combs said a few minutes after signing. “I got to sign with a few of my teammates that I’ve been doing this with for a long time, and I was just like, ‘I made it.’

It’s a dream come true, going to play Div. I football, and I get the opportunity to do it.”

Later in the day, KU’s class gained another defensive standout when Martin, a former Notre Dame commitment who played at Florida during the spring of 2011, made his commitment official.

Martin, 6-4, 260, orally committed to KU last Saturday and said Wednesday that making up his mind took very little encouragement from KU coach Charlie Weis.

“It wasn’t too much recruiting, honestly,” Martin said. “He knew that I would take it at any jump, and that

“

I was just like, ‘I made it.’ It’s a dream come true, going to play Div. I football.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD KEVIN YOUNG, RIGHT, POSES FRO, ER, FOR A FAMILY PORTRAIT with younger brother Donovan Young, left, and mother Alicia Morales after Tuesday’s game against Richmond at Allen Fieldhouse.

Family follows KU forward Kevin Young to town

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kevin Young’s energy and hustle, ability to push the basketball and score around the rim, have made him a fan favorite in this, his senior year, at Kansas University.

One other thing, too ...

“The fans just love his afro,” said one of Young’s biggest supporters — younger brother, Donovan, who, along with the siblings’ mom, Alicia, watched Kevin score eight points and grab nine rebounds in KU’s 87-59 rout of Richmond on Tuesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

Donovan and mom have been in town since Saturday — they saw Kevin score eight points and grab six boards in a 89-60 battering of Belmont — and will remain indefinitely. They’ve decided to move from Perris, Calif., to Lawrence for second semester of Kevin’s final KU campaign.

“He loves KU. He loves all of his fans who love him here at KU,” added Donovan, 15, who will attend Free State High School as a freshman after starting out at Kevin’s alma mater, Perris High.

It was easy to spot Donovan Young outside the northwest tunnel, just past a pack of autograph seekers who sought signatures a full hour after Tuesday’s rout. The length and width of Donovan’s afro rival his big brother’s.

DONOVAN YOUNG, RIGHT, WATCHES AS HIS OLDER BROTHER, KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD KEVIN YOUNG, SIGNS an autograph for Trentyn Harris of Frontenac after KU’s game against Richmond on Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

“For him, it’s more competition. He tries to get his bigger than mine,” Kevin Young said of afro expansion.

“We’ve done this before, when I was at Loyola (Marymount, 2008-09, 09-10 seasons). I had an afro and he tried to grow one, too. I think we do it (compete) every time one of us decides to grow our hair out,” Kevin added.

Donovan Young, who hopes to play both baseball and basketball during his

time in Lawrence, doesn’t admit to any family competition.

“Actually when I was little, I wore my hair (like this).

We’d cut it once in a while. I’d let it grow sometimes. When it’s hot outside, I cut it,” Donovan said.

Of his brother’s hair, he commented: “It’s pretty big, pretty big.”

Kevin is pleased his mom and brother have joined him in Lawrence. Sister Jasmine, is a sophomore basketball play-

er at San Bernardino (Calif.)

Valley College.

“It takes a lot of pressure off me. They are a lot closer to me right now; I just love it,” Kevin Young said. “It’s for them to be closer to me, get them out of California and getting the focus on school a little more (for Donovan).

“It’s good so far. I haven’t heard my mom in the crowd yet. I’m pretty sure she is going to start yelling sooner or later,” Kevin added, smiling.

Of the move, mom Alicia Morales said: “We are here to watch him play and support him. I’m so proud of my son.

He is really a good role model for the young one (Donovan).

The fans are awesome here.

The people are awesome in Lawrence,” Alicia added.

Kevin plans on spending as much time as possible with his family members.

“When I was at Loyola, they were at every game. My mom’s been at every game since I was in middle school,” Kevin said.

Of his brother’s sports future, Kevin said: “He’s more a baseball player. He’s played all the positions. I think he likes outfield a lot, being able to make those diving catches and save the games, I guess.

“If it (basketball) is something he wants to do, I’ll support him all the way.”

OU aide escapes penalty

Mariners trade for Morales

NORMAN, OKLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NCAA has agreed not to suspend Oklahoma co-offensive coordinator Jay Norvell for improper tweets to recruits.

Documents released to The Associated Press this week under Oklahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open Records Act include details about tweets Norvell sent earlier this year to potential recruits. The Sooners say Norvell intended the tweets to be direct messages, but mistakenly made them public.

Six tweets contained what OU deemed to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;written offers of financial aid to juniorsâ&#x20AC;? before those offers were allowed.

The NCAA recommended a one-game suspension, but the school successfully appealed. The Sooners will play Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl next month.

SEATTLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Los Angeles Angels have traded power hitter Kendrys Morales to the Seattle Mariners for left-hander Jason Vargas.

The 29-year-old Morales became expendable after the Angels agreed to a deal last week with free agent slugger Josh Hamilton. The Angels had been looking for a pitcher after losing Zack Greinke and Dan Haren to free agency and trading Ervin Santana.

Morales hit .273 with 22 home runs and 73 RBIs last season.

Badgers eye Andersen Gary Andersen publicly pledged his allegiance to Utah State not long ago. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the verge of becoming Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach. Wisconsin reportedly will hire Andersen to replace Bret Bielema, who left the Badgers earlier this month to take the Arkansas job.

The news about Andersen broke Tuesday night and neither Utah State nor Wisconsin had anything official to announce about Andersen on Wednesday. The delay is at least in part tied to laws in Wisconsin that require a state job to be posted for at least two weeks before it can be filled. The twoweek posting was up at the end of business on Wednesday.

SOUTH BEND, IND. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After two seasons as Notre Dame coach, Brian Kelly decided he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spending enough time doing the best part of his job: coaching players.

Kelly changed that in 2012, and he shuffled his staff. Then, with Kelly more in tune to his team and the assistants in sync with the head coach, Notre Dame went from unranked to top-ranked.

For leading the Fighting Irish to the BCS championship for the first time, Kelly was voted Associated Press college football coach of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about the coach of the year, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many things that go into it,â&#x20AC;?

Kelly Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an individual award and it goes to one guy, but the feelings that I get from it is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building the right staff, that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the right players and to me that is a validation of the program. That you put together the right business plan.â&#x20AC;?

Kelly received 25 votes from the AP college football poll panel. Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien was second with 14 votes. Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Shaw (four), Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Sumlin (three), Kansas Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill Snyder (two) and Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Saban (one) also received votes.

Kelly is the first Notre Dame coach to win the AP award, which started in 1998. Of course, the Irish havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played for a national championship since 1988 and spent much of the past two decades trying to find a coach who could restore a program that was becoming a relic of its proud past.

There have been no bargaining sessions between the sides since Dec. 6 in New York, when talks broke down. They also met with a U.S. federal mediator for two days in New Jersey last week and reported no progress.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Texas upends No. 23 UNC No. 22 Notre Dame 85, Kennesaw St. 57 SOUTH BEND, IND. — Jack Cooley scored 14 points and pulled down 13 rebounds to lead Notre Dame.

The Associated Press

Texas 85, No. 23 North Carolina 67 AUSTIN, TEXAS — Sheldon McClellan scored 18 points and struggling Texas upset North Carolina on Wednesday night.

Julien Lewis added 16 points for the Longhorns (7-4), who are off to their worst start since coach Rick Barnes’ first season in 1999 while playing without star guard Myck Kabongo. The NCAA is investigating the sophomore’s relationship with an agent and the Longhorns have given no indication when or if he’ll return.

Reggie Bullock led the Tar Heels (8-3) with 18 points and 13 rebounds.

It was the first loss for North Carolina since being clobbered by then-No. 1 Indiana on Nov. 27, and this was mostly another humiliation after trailing by as many as 19 points.

North Carolina cut the deficit to four points in the second half before Texas sealed the badly needed victory.

Barnes knew that a roster of 10 sophomores and freshmen could make for some growing pains.

Texas has been used to fast starts for most of the last decade, but the first 10 games felt more like a nosedive at times than some bumps in the roads.

It began with the school announcing that Kabongo, who started 34 games last season, wouldn’t join the team immediately. The NCAA has raised questions about Kabongo’s relationship with Rich Paul, the agent of LeBron James of the Miami Heat.

The low point was an embarrassing defeat to Division II Chaminade, followed a few weeks later by a 23-point loss to Georgetown.

Beating a ranked team was a chance at finally getting some traction, and the Longhorns may have found some with just two games left before the start of their Big 12 schedule.

They will need it: up next is No. 20 Michigan State on Saturday.

James McAdoo had 14 points and joined Bullock as the only Tar Heels in double figures. North Carolina shot a season-low 31.3 percent from the field and turned the ball over 18 times.

Texas attempted 46 shots in the first half.

North Carolina had only 30.

“It was an ugly night for us to say the least,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said.

Jonathan Holmes scored 15 points and Ioannis Papapetrou added 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Longhorns.

North Carolina made just 3 of 19 3-point attempts. P.J. Hairston, the Tar Heels’ third-leading scorer, shot just 2 of 12 from the field.

Football CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

it was just a matter of coming out and seeing Kansas and putting some validity behind what they were preaching to me in California.”

Since arriving at Florida, Martin has played for three schools — two junior colleges — and bounced around because of some negativity surrounding his commitment. But the player who described himself as “an intelligent but nasty football player,” said he was looking forward to setting the record straight at KU under Weis.

“We talked about some old stuff that we both have a chip on our shoulders because of,” Martin said.

“We both feel the same way. He doesn’t want to have a repeat of everything that happened before. We want to win.”

As for his own personal goals at KU, Martin said he hoped to show people that he can be a positive and productive part of any team.

“I want to prove everyone wrong,” he said. “That I can show solidarity in a program, that I can buy into a program and I can be successful within that program. Those three things loom around as baggage for me and I’d like to change that.”

Combs and Martin were the headliners of Wednesday’s signees, but far from the only players with potential to make an impact in 2013.

In all, the Jayhawks added six defensive players, two offensive linemen and one punter/kickoff specialist, all of whom will arrive in time for the start of the spring semester and be eligible for spring football in March.

“For a 1-11 football team to be fighting in the top half of the Big 12 in recruiting at this stage is very impressive,” said Mike Farrell, a national recruiting analyst for Rivals. com, who pointed to KU’s Class of 2013’s fifth-place spot in the site’s latest Big 12 rankings. “And the schools Charlie Weis has beaten, teams like Kansas State, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennes-

Young CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

KU, which is ranked No. 9 in the country, will next meet No. 7 Ohio State, at 3 p.m., Central time, Saturday, in Columbus, Ohio.

The Jayhawks went 2-0 versus OSU last season.

Young had 14 points and four rebounds in KU’s 7867 victory on Dec. 10, 2011, in Allen Fieldhouse. OSU’s Jared Sullinger missed the game because of injury.

KU won again, 64-62, in a Final Four semifinal on

Chiefs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

He’s been a coach for more than four decades, progressing through the college ranks to the NFL, where he helped to win five Super Bowls as an assistant. He understands as well as anybody how tenuous life is in professional sports, and that next season is never guaranteed.

“The future is the next game,” Crennel said. “So that’s the one I’m concentrating on and seeing what I can do to try to win the game. If we win the game, we’ll see what happens down the road. The only control I have is trying to win a game.”

It’s certainly an important game for reasons beyond the fate of the Chiefs’ coach.

Indianapolis visits Kansas City on Sunday with a chance to wrap up an improbable playoff berth, something that few

see and others, shows how well he can recruit. Many of these junior-college players will have an instant impact, and I think they will make the team more competitive next season and possibly help a bowl push the year after.”

That’s the goal, according to both Combs and Martin, who have not been shy about setting the bar high for their class and the 2013 team.

“We’re all saying it’s a bowl game next year,” Martin said. “It’s just which one are we gonna be in. And all our hype’s on ‘BCS or bigger.’ That’s just how it has to be, and if you’re not thinking that then you’re not thinking in the right direction for any program.”

Combs and Martin were not the only defensive linemen to sign with the Jayhawks on Wednesday.

Tedarian Johnson (6-3, 260, Hinds C.C.) and the familiar Ty McKinney (63, 310, Trinity Valley C.C.) also made their commitments official, joining defensive backs Dexter McDonald (6-1, 205, Butler) and Cassius Sendish (6-2, 185, Arizona Western) as well as offensive linemen Ngalu Fusimalohi (6-3, 300, City College of San Francisco) and Mike Smithburg (6-3, 300, Iowa Western). Punter and kickoff specialist, Trevor Pardula (6-5, 210, De Anza College) also sent his letter of intent to Lawrence and, summed it up well for the entire class after the fax went through.

“It felt great just to finally have it be official,” Pardula said. “I feel like the coaches are putting together a great group of guys. And just like so many of the other guys who have signed today, I just can’t wait to get to work.”

The players were far from the only ones overjoyed by the haul. Weis, who will hold a news conference today to answer questions about his newest players, let his excitement leak out on Twitter.

“Time to take a breath,” Weis wrote. “I’m a happy man! All midyear NLI’s signed, sealed, and delivered!”

Added defensive coordinator Dave Campo, rarely one to overhype things: “Jayhawk Nation, our time is coming!”

March 31, in New Orleans.

Sullinger, who is now in the NBA, scored 13 points off 5-of-19 shooting in that game. Thomas Robinson had 19 points, Travis Releford 15 and Elijah Johnson 13 for KU. O Johnson down to three: Dakari Johnson, a 6-11 senior center from Montverde (Fla.) Academy, has narrowed his college choices to Kentucky, Syracuse and Georgetown, Rivals.com reports. Johnson, who is ranked No. 13 in the Class of 2013, eliminated KU, Florida, Ohio State and Missouri.

dreamed possible when they lost their first 13 games last season.

If nothing else, the rapid way the Colts have turned around their franchise should be heartening for the Chiefs, who are headed for one of the worst finishes in team history.

The question becomes who will be in charge of orchestrating that turnaround.

“This is a business, so you can’t worry about that,” said linebacker Derrick Johnson, who is on his fourth coach in eight years in the league. “When you’re having a losing season, everybody’s job is in jeopardy, players and coaches. That’s just the way it is, the nature of the beast.”

Crennel certainly graded out highly among players and fans when he took over for the fired Todd Haley last season, and then guided the Chiefs to a victory over thenunbeaten Green Bay and a season-ending road win against the Broncos.

of managing her own life and chooses to live with this cousin, there’s not much you can do. We hope her family is keeping an eye on things.

Dear Annie: We recently lost our dear pet dog, “Buster,” and are considering getting another dog. I want to find one who is the same breed and color, call him “Buster” and go on as if his predecessor had not died, but rather had a stroke and needed to be retrained. My wife thinks I’m crazy. What do you think? — RH

Chimp story is inhuman Animal lovers may find “Project Nim” (8 p.m., HBO) hard to take. This heartbreaking odyssey reveals as much about animal instincts as human cruelty.

Born in 1973, chimpanzee Nim Chimpsky was subject to horrors from his earliest days. His mother was “put down” when he was only a few days old so that he could be “raised” by human researchers and learn sign language.

Nim’s ensuing years are a tragicomic roller coaster of linguistic breakthroughs and broken furniture, as a succession of scientists try to domesticate Nim, only to have the clever primate trash their homes and bite them in the face. This behavior lands Nim in grimmer laboratory settings.

News of Nim’s serial institutionalization earns him supporters who begin a campaign to liberate the chimp. But where can he live? What is “natural” to an animal raised by humans to “ape” human behavior?

Country stars share personal anecdotes about the holidays and sing a song or two on “CMA Country Christmas” (8 p.m., ABC), hosted by Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland.

Michael prepares to flee the country on the two-hour season finale of “Burn Notice” (8 p.m., USA). But not before running into an ambush that sees Sam (Bruce Campbell) shot and Jesse (Coby Bell) captured. It’s a fitting season-ender for a series with more than its share of cliffhangers.

Tonight’s holiday programming

Former residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. recall the holiday season on “A White House Christmas: First Families Remember” (7 p.m., NBC).

Linus, Lucy and Rerun seek canine company in the 2003 special “I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown” (7 p.m., ABC).

A war widow (Janet Leigh) has two suitors sniffing around the mistletoe in the 1949 romance “Holiday Affair” (7 p.m., TCM).

The Griswolds illuminate with a vengeance in the 1989 comedy “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” (8 p.m., ABC Family).

Tonight’s other highlights

Hosts Khloe Kardashian Odom and Mario Lopez reveal the winner live as one lucky musician emerges with a $5 million recording contract on the season finale of “The X Factor” (7 p.m., Fox).

Dear RH: We don’t think you’re crazy, but you do seem to be in denial. You should properly grieve for Buster.

Pretending another dog is still the same one after a stroke doesn’t do justice to your feelings.

It also doesn’t allow you to love your new dog for his own sake. Even with “retraining,” you will continue to expect him to respond to you and behave as Buster did.

Please take a little time to mourn the original Buster before you make any decisions about a new dog.

Dear Annie: You printed a lot of responses to “Looking for a Relationship, Too,” who asked where to meet men. What a waste of time to read all of those suggestions. If you are serious about finding someone, the Internet is the best place to look.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Dec. 20: This year you will you be much more assertive than you have been.

As a result, you will break past patterns that have held you back in the past. If you are single, you will meet quite a few potential suitors. Be true to yourself. If you are attached, be gentle with your sweetie.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) The unexpected runs rampant right now. If you stop and think about it, you are the trigger.

Tonight: A call could affect your plans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be taken aback by everything that is happening around you. It might be difficult to define what you want to do. Tonight: Keep a secret.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Make plans to bring friends together before you exit the scene for a family holiday gathering.

You will be, or probably already are, in the mood to start enjoying the eggnog and presents and cornering your sweetie under the mistletoe.

Tonight: Wrap those presents.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Others follow your lead, but they could be wondering what is up. You might want to vanish and not be found. Tonight: In the limelight.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep reaching out to others, especially the people you rarely call but often think of. A friend’s confession could stun you. Tonight: Go along with someone’s plans.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to elimi-

sure to have a pleasant picture of yourself, and if you can’t figure out how to get online, ask any sixth-grader to do it for you.

Don’t be too picky about your preferences, and then go out and have fun meeting all sorts of people. Brief first-time meetings for coffee in a public place are best, so neither has to stay long or incur expensive meals. Quit wasting your valuable time looking in all the wrong places. — Content in California on Match.com Dear Content: The Internet is one way to meet people, but it isn’t the only way (or necessarily the best way), and it is only a preliminary step to actual personal contact.

nate a problem and move forward.

The other party can be unreasonable and often does the unexpected.

Tonight: A chat over coffee and dessert.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others want what they want, so try not to stand in the way of their long-desired dreams. Avoid protesting any opposition you might have, as their energy is far higher than yours. Tonight: Love the one you are with.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Everyone seems to be pursuing their interests, or they’re already slacking off. You have a lot that you would like to accomplish before relaxing and getting into the holiday mood. Tonight: At home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You can’t be restrained or held back. Your creativity surges in this mind-set. Tonight: You can have the best of both worlds.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be uptight about a domestic or personal matter.

Accept what is, and choose not to push to have your way. Tonight: Head home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could have a lot to say. Maybe the smart move is to hold back and be more observant.

Tonight: Have some eggnog with friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Run out the door if you must for some last-minute holiday items or gifts. You might feel as if you want to indulge a loved one more. Tonight: Out late.

Dear Annie: My 50-something male cousin has brought a 20-something female cousin to live with him.

He calls it “mentoring.”

The poor girl is learning disabled.

They are the only two people living in the house, and the arrangement has caused concern for his parents and children. Is this normal?

What’s your take on the situation? — Just Wondering Dear Just: We don’t know what kind of learning disability would require that a 20-yearold live with her older cousin — or anyone. If you mean that the girl is mentally disabled, then someone needs to check on the situation and intervene should the older cousin be taking advantage of her. Because the girl is over 18, it may require legal intervention.

If, however, the 20-yearold is perfectly capable
