Anderson now unlocks the doors, which used to remain open overnight, and cleans the station.

When the weather is nice, he sets out chairs to accommodate waiting riders.

“Having somebody here makes it a lot more inviting,” he said. “I get told a lot of times that people appreciate me just being here.”

That appreciation may be, in part, because of the reputation the depot used to have. A group called Depot Redux has been working hard to revitalize the station. The process has resulted in hiring depot caretakers like Anderson to open the

W A S H I N G T O N — President Barack Obama ordered grisly photographs of Osama bin Laden in death sealed from public view on Wednesday, declaring, “We don’t need to spike the football” in triumph after this week’s daring middle-of-the-night raid.

The terrorist leader was killed by American commandos who burst into his room and feared he was reaching for a nearby weapon, U.S. off icials said.

Several weapons were found in the room where the Obama terror chief died, including AK-47 assault rifles and side arms, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity as they offered the most recent in a series of increasingly detailed and sometimesshifting accounts of bin Laden’s final minutes after a decade on the run.

Obama said releasing the photographs taken by the Navy SEAL raiders was “not who we are” as a country. Though some may deny his death, “the fact of the matter is you will not see bin Laden walking this earth again,” the president said in an interview taped for CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

He said any release of the photos could become a propaganda tool for bin Laden’s adherents eager to incite violence.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president’s decision applied to photographs

Nighttime depot caretaker part of revitalization effort

Nighttime in Lawrence is most often a quiet time.

Unless you’re Nate Anderson.

That’s because Anderson mans the Lawrence Amtrak depot, 413 E. Seventh St., opening it for the arrival of the midnight train. The nightly gig hasn’t been gentle on his hearing, but he’s learned how to cope since assuming the role of midnight caretaker last June.

“I’ve been here long enough,” he said. “I usually wait inside the door to save my ears.”

While the train itself, known as the Southwest Chief, may be noisy, the Lawrence depot rarely is.

The station averages between 10 and 20 passengers each night on a track that runs between Chicago and Los Angeles. That

Now the train stops just long enough to let passengers enter and exit.

The depot wasn’t always as welcoming as it is now.

School cuts set for now, but more may loom

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Members of the Lawrence school board don’t intend to boost class sizes districtwide, or to cut entire sports programs, or to eliminate jobs for guidance counselors, school nurses or attendance secretaries.

At least not yet.

As plans for next year’s Lawrence school district budget take shape, virtually all of this year’s job positions, programs and services are set to continue.

But board members and administrators acknowledge that while an alreadyagreed-upon list of $3 mil-

Among the biggest uncertainties already being discussed by the current board, but sure to be addressed formally by the next one: a request from teachers for at least $1.3 million in raises, which would be equal to $1,500 per licensed educator districtwide. lion in cuts and spending adjustments should be enough to cover an expected $3 million drop in financing from the state, the district still may find itself dealing with some increased expenses.

And for that, there essentially would be two options: Find relief by digging deeper into savings accounts, or

inflict pain by extending cuts into personnel, programs and other expenses.

Either way, balancing the books looks to remain a work in progress as teacher negotiations continue and competition for scarce state revenues endures.

“It’s going to get a whole lot more complicated,” said Vanessa Sanburn, one of

three board members who will remain in office in July, when four members elected April 5 take office and consider approving next year’s budget. “There’s a lot of things on the list that I don’t want to have to make cuts in. …

“None of them are easy.”

Negotiations continue Among the biggest uncertainties already being discussed by the current board, but sure to be addressed formally by the next one: a request from teachers for at least $1.3 million in raises, which would be equal to $1,500 per licensed educator districtwide.

The request has been made during negotiations for a new master agreement, but those negotiations won’t be expected to close for weeks or even months. District negotiators have yet to respond to the Lawrence Education Association’s wage request, and the union has yet to propose expected increases in fringe benefits, such as health insurance.

But one thing is certain: District administrators must offer contracts to educators and administrators no later than May 20, and board members already have agreed not to cut more Please see SCHOOL, page 2A

DEATHS BONNIE WORLEY Funeral services for Bonnie Worley, 86, Olathe, will be at 10 a.m. Friday at Central United Methodist Church in Lawrence. Burial will follow at Oak Hill Cemetery in Lawrence.

Mrs. Worley died Tuesday, May 3, 2011, at Olathe Good Samaritan Center in Olathe.

She was born Aug. 19, 1924, in Stanley, the daughter of Jesse and Cora Feltenberger Laughlin.

Mrs. Worley had been a Lawrence resident since 1956. She worked as a cook at Sigma Chi and Lambda Chi fraternities and Alpha Delta Pi sorority at Kansas University and was previously a waitress at local restaurants.

Mrs. Worley was a member of Central United Methodist Church in Lawrence and the Postal Auxiliary.

She married Francis Raymond Worley on Sept. 2, 1942, in Harrisonville, Mo.

He preceded her in death Oct. 20, 2010.

She was also preceded in death by a sister and two Worley brothers.

Survivors include four sons, Gary Francis and wife Rita, Monticello, Ark., Craig Alan and David Ward and wife Maria, all of Lawrence, and Dennis Raymond and wife Mary, Gardner; eight grandchildren; and 20 greatgrandchildren.

The family will greet friends from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. today at Warren-McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence.

The family suggests memorials to the Odyssey Hospice — Lenexa, sent in care of the mortuary.

Online condolences may be sent at warrenmcelwain.com.

it’s effectively too late to consider elimination of positions for teachers, guidance counselors and others.

“When you move all the big-dollar items off the plate, then all the smaller ones — there just aren’t enough of them left to make up for major funding issues,” Byers said. “Teacher salaries and other things — none of those things facing us, from a funding standpoint, are smallticket items. They’re all huge ones.”

The district has $6.8 million in its contingency fund, and the plan for next year already calls for using $750,000 to help make up for the expected cut in state f inancing. Bumping that number higher would leave less money available to the district in future years, Byers said, and therefore would pump up pressure to consolidate schools.

The board agreed last week to form a working group of volunteers whose task will be coming up with a recommended plan for reducing the district’s number of elementary schools from 14 to either 11 or 12. An earlier task force had identified six candidates to be considered for consolidation, and the working group — to be appointed by July 1 — will be instructed to devise plans for combining Hillcrest and Sunset Hill schools in central Lawrence, as well as Cordley, Kennedy and New York in eastern Lawrence.

Consolidating would be expected to require money from a bond issue, one that is yet to be formulated and proposed, much less approved.

But Byers is certain that the coming years’ challenges will require that the district come up with efficient buildings, or else teachers and programs in schools — resources directly related to the education of students — inevitably will move closer to being cut, all to balance an operational budget that shows little chance of expanding.

“It’s money we don’t have,” Byers said.

teachers or increase class sizes any further to save more money.

That essentially leaves the board with a list of 17 potential additional cuts that, together, could be expected to amount to $490,000 — on average, less than $29,000 per item.

Among the potential moves: ● Cut $57,975 by eliminating the half-time positions for attendance secretaries in next year’s middle schools, jobs that had been full-time a year ago. ● Cut $24,030, by eliminating eight positions for assistant coaches at high schools. ● Save $12,969 by eliminating positions of cheerleading coaches in middle schools, eliminating the programs. ● Generate another $50,000 by increasing district pay-to-play fees for sports and cocurricular activities, such as debate and forensics, from $50 to $75. ● Save a total of $45,316 by eliminating coaching positions for bowling, golf, gymnastics and swimming and diving, which would end each of the programs. ● Save money by reducing the number of school nurses, who cost the district an average of $55,056, with health office assistants, who average $22,353.

Spend more, save less Bob Byers, another board member who will remain in office when next year’s budget is approved and enacted, doesn’t plan on making further cuts to such programs for the coming year.

The board already has agreed to close Wakarusa Valley School — estimated savings: $487,508 — to go along with using contingency funds, other cash balances and operational changes to come up with $3 million in savings.

Money needed to cover more cuts or added expenses would need to come from savings, Byers said, because

Man convicted of child solicitation

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Douglas County judge Wednesday convicted a 33year-old Lawrence man of attempted aggravated indecent solicitation of a child related to a September incident involving a 10-year-old girl.

Antonio L. Nelson pleaded no contest to the charge as part of an agreement with prosecutors. Chief assistant district attorney Amy McGowan said prosecutors had evidence that Nelson over a two-week period would hang around the girl’s apartment complex in the 2300 block of West 26th Street and “attempted to get her to come to his house for

building for the midnight train. Another caretaker was hired to open the depot for the morning train.

During his time at the station, Anderson has seen all sorts of crowds. He’s had quiet nights when no one shows up to ride, and he’s had his hands full with 70 high school band members crowding the small depot. Some passengers on the late train say the night crowd is entertaining.

“It’s an interesting crowd on the midnight train,” firsttime rider Jeff Hattem said.

acts that were sexual in nature.”

Lawrence police arrested Nelson in September as a suspect related to an incident when a man was reported to be making sexual comments to children on the playground at Schwegler School, 2201 Ousdahl Road, during an after-school program. After further investigation prosecutors charged Nelson in connection to the incidents with the girl.

Defense attorney J.C. Gilroy told District Judge Michael Malone he believed Nelson would qualify for probation. Nelson will register as a sex offender and would need to complete a sex offender evaluation as part of

the plea agreement.

Attorneys have said Nelson undergoes an annual evaluation for his developmental disability and works with a caseworker through The Arc of Douglas County.

Sentencing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. June 23, but Malone granted Nelson a bond to be released from jail on his own recognizance because his mother has secured housing for Nelson.

The judge ordered Nelson to have no contact with any children under age 16.

“If they’re under 16, I’m going the other way,” Nelson told Malone.

longer provide details of the 40-minute operation by the team of elite Navy SEALs. That left unresolved numerous mysteries, prominent among them an exact accounting of bin Laden’s demise. Officials have said he was unarmed but resisted when an unknown number of commandos burst into his room inside the high-security compound.

The officials who gave the latest details said a U.S. commando grabbed a woman who charged toward the SEALs inside the room. They said the raiders were concerned that she might be wearing a suicide vest.

Administration officials have said bin Laden’s body was identified by several

means, including a DNA test.

Members of Congress who received a briefing during the day said a sample from the body killed at the compound in Pakistan was compared to known DNA from bin Laden’s mother and three sons.

After two days of speculation about releasing the photographs, there was no detectable public debate in the U.S. about the merits of the raid itself against the man behind the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001.

Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress the operation was “entirely lawful and consistent with our values” and justified as “an action of national self-defense.”

Anderson has also learned a lot about trains and everything that goes along with them. He can tell you how far away a train is by looking at the signal lights. He’s learned about the different track classif ications. It was never something he thought he’d get into, but Anderson enjoys what he does.

“I’m not a big train buff,” he said. “But I am interested in public transportation.”

Anderson, who is currently without a full-time job, keeps in high spirits, jokingly labeling his work situation as “underemployment.” He also volunteers with Depot Redux and is preparing for the

busier summer season at the station. Lawrence’s depot is technically unmanned, meaning it doesn’t sell tickets or check baggage.

Carey Maynard-Moody of Depot Redux said use of the local depot has risen 13 percent since 2010. The increase in passenger traffic should ensure the station stays open.

“I think our station is symbolic of survival,” MaynardMoody said. “There’s something visceral about rail travel. It’s too much a part of our history. We’re not going to let it go.”

Palestinian deal hurts peace prospects Rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas signed a landmark reconciliation pact on Wednesday, ending a four-year rift that had divided the territory envisioned for a future Palestinian state. The deal plunged Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking deeper into uncertainty as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a “mortal blow to peace.”

The agreement, which followed years of bitter acrimony between the two Palestinian movements, was made possible in large measure by the political changes sweeping the Arab world and the deadlock in U.S.-brokered peace talks with Israel.

A unity government foreseen by the accord would also allow the Palestinians to speak with a single voice if they go ahead with plans to ask the United Nations to recognize Palestine as a state during the annual General Assembly session in September.

Anxiety rises along swollen Mississippi People along the lower Mississippi River and its tributaries packed their belongings and emergency workers feverishly filled sandbags as high water pushed its way downstream Wednesday in a slow-motion disaster that could break flood records dating to the 1920s.

From Illinois to Mississippi, thousands of people have already been forced from their homes, and anxiety is rising along with the mighty river, even though it could be a week or two before some of the most severe flooding hits.

“I’ve never seen it this bad,” said 78-year-old Joe Harrison, who has lived in the same house in Hickman since he was 11 months old. Floodwaters from the Mississippi turned his house into an island — dry but surrounded by water. He has been using a boat to get to his car, parked on dry ground along a highway that runs by his house.

Up and down the Big Muddy, farmers braced for a repeat of the desperate strategy employed earlier this week in Missouri, where Army engineers blew up a levee and sacrificed vast stretches of farmland to protect populated areas upstream.

Looters plague tornado-torn South The crooks walked up to Kenneth Carter’s tornado-damaged property with the purposeful air of relief workers in need of an all-terrain vehicle like the one he had parked out back.

“They said, ‘Excuse us, we’ve got to get this fourwheeler out of here,”’ said the 74-year-old Apison resident. “I said, ‘I don’t think so — that four-wheeler belongs to me!”

Carter avoided becoming a victim, but authorities say the South has been plagued by a variety of swindles since the twister outbreak last week that ripped apart houses and killed 329 people in seven states.

Looters have carried off televisions, power tools and prescription pills. Elsewhere, unscrupulous businesses are charging double for a tank of gas or jacking up the cost of a hotel room. Authorities also warn of construction workers who leave with the cash before opening their tool kit and the danger that identities could be stolen off wind-blown documents.

Feds suing more abortion activists The Justice Department under President Barack Obama has taken a harder line against anti-abortion activists accused of trying to block access to clinics, suing at least a half-dozen of them under a federal law that lay mostly dormant during the Bush administration.

The law, written to protect people who seek or provide abortions, was revived after Obama took office and in the wake of the 2009 slaying of Kansas abortion provider George Tiller, who was shot to death moments before Sunday services were to begin at his Wichita church.

Since Obama’s inauguration, federal lawsuits have been filed against a woman who blocked a car from entering a clinic in West Palm Beach, Fla.; a Texas man who threw his body across the door of a patient waiting area in San Antonio; and a Pennsylvania man who posted on the Internet the names and addresses of abortion providers and extolled his readers to kill them.

Government records obtained by The Associated Press show that in slightly more than two years, the Obama Justice Department has filed six lawsuits under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, mostly to seek injunctions and fines. That compares with just one such lawsuit during the entire eight years of George W. Bush.

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration on Wednesday pushed to take away from the Kansas Bioscience Authority control of bonding for the new federal biosecurity lab, saying it feared a Washingtonstyle political attack.

Landon Fulmer, Brownback’s policy director, said the move was needed because of the “cloud” surrounding the KBA, which off icials have said is under criminal investigation by

the Johnson County District Attorney’s Office.

The House Appropriations Committee later Wednesday approved a bill that would remove the KBA from the bonding decision but stopped short of putting that responsibility solely under Brownback’s office.

Instead, the committee recommended that the State Finance Council, which is chaired by the governor but also includes legislative leaders, have the final say-so after getting a recommendation from the administration.

Natural Ties partners dance the night away at annual prom

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See related video at LJWorld.com

When Cole Brown walked into Abe and Jake’s Landing on Wednesday for the Natural Ties annual prom, he was ready to mingle and bust a move.

“Yeah,” Brown said about getting on the dance floor. “I like being active.”

He wasn’t alone Wednesday, as more than 100 Kansas University students and participants with the Natural Ties program grubbed and grooved during the year’s final event.

The KU program, which pairs students with area residents who have physical or mental disabilities, called ties, has been a mainstay in Lawrence since its founding in 1988. Weekly events and activities highlight the program’s work each semester.

Brown, who’s been participating in Natural Ties events for years, said he enjoyed the social nature of the program, for which he is an honorary member of the executive board.

“It’s all about being there and giving back,” Brown said. “It’s just hanging out with people, socializing and having fun.”

KU senior Mary Tunakan has been working with Natural Ties for four years and said the connections she’s made are what make the program special.

“It’s the ties,” she said. “They give you a perspective on life you never would have imagined.”

And as the evening’s hourlong festivities wore on, there were few who didn’t find their way onto the dance floor. Students and ties alike were smiling, moving and conversing while music played under the lights and disco ball.

KU junior Tyler Setter, coordinator for the Natural Ties program, said seeing the ties enjoy themselves was a big part of why he got involved and plans to stay involved.

“I feel like all the volunteers just love it,” Setter said. “When they get really excited it makes it worth doing all the work we do.

I’d say that’s the best part.”

TOPEKA — Kansas legislators drafted a new, compromise plan Wednesday for attacking the state pension system’s long-term funding problems that doesn’t include a commitment to start a 401(k)-style pension system for teachers and government workers.

The new proposal emerged from negotiations between three senators and three House members who were trying to reconcile the differences between their chambers on pension legislation.

401(k)-style plan and other issues, requiring the group to make recommendations to legislators next year.

The bill also requires public employees to choose between paying a higher percentage of their salaries into the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System and having future benefits cut. The measure commits the state to increasing its annual contributions to KPERS, starting in July 2013.

The proposal will go to both chambers for up-or-down votes, possibly by the end of the week.

If it clears the Republican-controlled Legislature, the measure will go to GOP Gov. Sam Brownback.

The retirement system projects a $7.7 billion gap between its anticipated revenues and the benefits promised to teachers, judges, police, firefighters and other government workers through 2033.

Architecture students with Kansas University’s Studio 804 class along with Bill Smalley of Topeka-based Smalley Energy, shown above, set up a 45-foot wind turbine on Kansas University’s West Campus on Wednesday afternoon.

The 2.4-kilowatt turbine will be part of the new home for KU’s Center for Design Research, a building intended to showcase the latest in green technology.

The wind turbine will be one of several forms of energy used to power an electric-vehicle charging station that is

part of the project.

A building like the one Studio 804 is constructing would usually cost between $700,000 and $800,000 for materials, but hopes are to keep the cost to $275,000.

Among the contributions to the project is $50,000 from KU Transportation Research Institute, which will help cover the cost of the wind turbine, solar energy and electric-vehicle charging station. Smalley donated his time and expenses as part of the Wind for Schools program. See the video at LJWorld.com.

• Lawrence police arrested a 21-year-old Lawrence man Wednesday afternoon after he was accused of striking a 31year-old Lawrence woman in the face inside Dollar General store, 1811 W. Sixth St. Sgt. Matt Sarna, a police spokesman, said officers were called about 12:15 p.m. to the store for a possible fight, and they discovered bystanders restraining the suspect.

Witnesses alleged the man entered the store with his pants down and struck the woman in the face. The suspect and victim did not know each other. The woman had a minor injury to her face but refused medical attention at the scene, police said.

Sarna said witnesses also alleged the man had been walking on Sixth Street prior to the incident with his pants pulled down. The man was arrested and taken to the Douglas County Jail on charges of battery and indecent exposure.

• A 78-year-old Lawrence man suffered an abrasion but refused medical treatment Wednesday after he tripped in an intersection of Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive and was struck by a car driven by a 21-year-old Lawrence man, Sarna said. The accident occurred at noon Wednesday.

Sarna said Brenn Amyx, the driver of a 1983 Buick LeSabre, was headed north on Crestline Drive and attempting to turn east onto Clinton Parkway as

Dale Mayhew was on the southeast corner and tripped into the intersection. The front right tire of the car struck Mayhew. Sarna said that the accident was still under investigation to determine any contributing factors and that no citations were issued Wednesday.

• Four people were displaced from their town home Wednesday evening after unattended cooking caused fire damage to a residence in the 400 block of John Doy Court.

According to Lawrence Douglas County Fire Medical division chief Joe Hoelscher, emergency dispatchers received the call about 6:40 p.m. for a stove that was on fire.

Emergency crews arrived at the scene to find smoke pouring out the front door. Hoelscher said crews worked quickly to extinguish the fire inside, which caused significant damage to the kitchen area. The fire damage was limited to one side of the duplex residence.

The Red Cross is assisting the four people who were displaced.

No one, including residents and firefighters, was injured during the incident.

Additional information regarding those displaced or the extent of the damage was not immediately available.

BRIEFLY Bonner Springs police take over investigation

Teachers’ union asks district for benefits

Assisted living center corrects deficiencies

Police in Bonner Springs have taken over an investigation into the Tuesday night shooting of a 20-something Leavenworth County resident.

It’s not clear yet who shot the man or when the shooting occurred, but the incident happened in the 900 block of North 142nd Street.

“We’re still in the heart of the investigation,” said Bonner Springs police Lt. George Collins.

The man, whom police would not identify, was in stable condition at an area hospital, Collins said.

After the man was shot Tuesday evening, he was taken by three other men to his father’s home in Tonganoxie, according to Leavenworth County Undersheriff Ron Cranor. The father then took his son to the Leavenworth County Annex in Tonganoxie for medical attention. From there, he was taken by Leavenworth County Emergency Medical Services to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. The man suffered a gunshot wound to the right flank, which is between the ribs and hip, Tonganoxie Police Chief Jeff Brandau said.

Negotiators for the Lawrence Education Association requesting some additional benefits Wednesday for the Lawrence school district’s licensed educators during the coming year.

The union, which represents more than 900 educators, formally asked that the district: ● Waive standard fees for enrollment, textbook rentals, extracurricular activities and related supplemental charges for students whose parents are licensed educators. ● Permit the president of the union to work full time on union business, at district expense. Currently, the district pays the full salary of the union president, who continues to work part time as an educator. ● Provide each licensed educator with a printed copy of the Master Agreement, once approved by the union and district administration.

The next negotiating session is set for 5 p.m. May 18 at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive.

A Lawrence assisted living center has corrected the 21 deficiencies it had been cited for during the past months.

Kansas Department on Aging conducted its second follow-up survey of The Windsor of Lawrence on Friday and found no deficiencies.

In March, KDOA found 17 deficiencies during a routine inspection, and one was for endangering one of its residents who had Alzheimer’s.

Other citations noted in the 60-page report centered on improper paperwork, improper medication storage and failure to report incidents to KDOA. During a follow-up survey in mid-April, Windsor was cited for four deficiencies. These were for improper documentation and giving a resident the wrong doses of medication.

No fines or penalties have been assessed as a result of the recent surveys at Windsor.

The Windsor, 3220 Peterson Road, is an assisted living facility that also has seven private apartments for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s. It is licensed to care for 44 residents.

Domestic partner benefits plan approved County commissioners Wednesday approved a new county health insurance plan that includes domestic partner benefit coverage.

Commissioner Jim Flory, who voted against the plan because of the extension, said there were many other relationships that weren’t covered under the plan, including grandparents taking care of grandchildren, a sibling caring for another sibling and a person caring for a best friend.

Commissioner Mike Gaughan, who originally suggested the change, said the plan was necessary for equality.

“This is the one relationship that the state has precluded loved ones from accessing the equal rights,” Gaughan said.

A number of residents spoke in favor of the plan again at Wednesday’s meeting, while the Rev. Leo Barbee Jr. spoke against it.

“It is a moral decision, whether you like it or not.

We’re saying that domestic partners are equal to families,” he said.

Commissioners Gaughan and Nancy Thellman voted in favor of the plan, which also extended coverage to employees’ dependents under the age of 26 and eliminated the lifetime benefit maximum.

Woman in fight at party gets probation A Douglas County judge Wednesday sentenced a 35year-old Lawrence woman to serve 12 months on probation and complete alcohol abuse treatment in connection with a March 12 fight at a Lawrence party.

Sarah C. Mason pleaded no contest to three counts of misdemeanor battery and one count of misdemeanor criminal damage. Chief assistant district attorney David Melton alleged that Mason during an argument with a Lawrence man shoved him down once and also chased him to his car and broke his driver’s side window and struck him while he was in the vehicle.

The incident occurred early March 12 in the 900 block of West 29th Terrace, Melton said. Police said the argument was about alcohol.

Mason told District Judge Kay Huff that she had enrolled in an outpatient alcohol abuse treatment program. Huff ordered Mason to complete the treatment and any other treatment recommended by her probation officer. Melton said he expected Mason to have to pay $200 restitution to the victim.

Mason initially faced a felony aggravated battery charge because police also alleged she stabbed the man with a pocket knife, but that count was dropped in exchange for the plea.

West to mark 50 years of school Saturday Students, parents, alumni, staffers and anyone else connected with West Junior High School’s past, present or future are invited to the school’s 50th anniversary celebration Saturday.

The celebration will include an open house, tours, displays, and punch and cake from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the school, 2700 Harvard Road.

Visitors will be able to visit five “decade rooms,” spanning the 1960s, ’70s, SCHOOLS ’80s, ’90s and 2000s with yearbooks, school newspapers, uniforms, trophies, theater props and other memorabilia from times gone by, as the community looks ahead to starting the next era: The 2011-12 year will mark the school’s first with grades 6-8, reopening and operating as West Middle School.

“We’ve been doing this for over 50 years,” said Jeff Harkin, assistant principal.

“West will still be best.”

The public also is invited to attend the school’s Chorale Spring Show, with performances set for 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

months. State officials, including Brownback, have said the agency is being investigated by Johnson County prosecutors.

But no official has revealed the basis for the probe.

Brownback requested an extensive audit of KBA financial dealings. The KBA board agreed, but Brownback has said he fears the board will have too much input into the audit.

Recently, the KBA’s president and chief executive officer, Tom Thornton, resigned and took a job with the Cleveland Clinic.

KBA’s acting president and CEO, David Vranicar, told the Appropriations Committee that he had no problem with moving the bonding administration from the KBA. But he told the committee that the KBA works closely with federal agencies on NBAF issues and cautioned legislators about making comments that may link whatever is being investigated with the NBAF project.

“They (federal officials) would be troubled if there was a perception that the KBA was not fulfilling its obligations,” on NBAF, he said.

Rep. Barbara Ballard, DLawrence, asked Fulmer if the bill was the first in a move by Brownback to take over projects from the KBA, which was created to use tax money to lure bioscience businesses to the state.

“The governor has no interest in taking over the KBA,” Fulmer said.

Ballard later said, “I think I’m justified in being skeptical.”

The measure will now go to the full House for consideration.

chamber’s lead negotiator. “I think it’s a good compromise, and I think it gets us down the road to a long-term solution.”

The key issue was establishing the 401(k)-style plan for teachers and government workers, tying their benefits to investment earnings. Current KPERS plans guarantee benefits up front based on a worker’s salary and years of service, and the state is on the hook instead of employees if the retirement system’s revenues don’t keep up.

The House approved a bill to create a 401(k)-style plan for all teachers and government workers hired after June 2013, cutting future benefits for other employees who didn’t opt to join. Republicans who support the idea said if the state doesn’t close current KPERS plans, each new worker adds to its long-term liabilities.

House Pensions and Benefits Committee Chairman Mitch Holmes, a St. John Republican and his chamber’s lead negotiator, said he believes GOP Senate negotiators supported a 401(k)-style plan but “just wanted the commission first.”

“It was a little bit disappointing,” he said.

Asked about the chances of the House passing the compromise plan, Holmes said, “I’ll do my best to sell it over here.”

Senate GOP leaders argued a study is prudent, allowing legislators to pull public employee representatives and business leaders with expertise in pensions into the debate.

Also, a KPERS report said a 401(k)-style plan would have startup costs, slowing efforts to close the long-term funding gap and costing the state and local governments an additional $1.2 billion in contributions to KPERS through 2033.

Democrats and public employee groups strongly oppose starting a 401(k)-style plan, fearing it would make workers’ retirement benefits less secure — and less lucrative. They were pleased negotiators didn’t commit to starting a 401(k)-style plan but concerned about how the study will turn out.

“I think it’s a real good step in the right direction,” said Terry Forsyth, lobbyist for the Kansas-National Education Association teachers’ union.

“There are a lot of contingencies we have to deal with yet.”

About 131,500 teachers and government workers covered

by KPERS pay 4 percent of their salaries to the pension fund. Under the plan, they would have the option of paying 6 percent and getting a slight bump in future benefits, or staying at 4 percent and seeing benefits drop significantly.

An additional 20,000 employees, hired after June 2009, already pay 6 percent of their salaries into KPERS, and they’ve been promised annual cost-of-living adjustments in their benefits after they retire. Under the plan, they would have the option to still pay 6 percent but lose the future adjustments, or pay 8 percent and keep them.

Worth a visit Legislators should take advantage of the opportunity to visit historic Lecompton.

T

aking advantage of an invitation to visit historical Lecompton on May 20 would be a great way for Kansas legislators to celebrate the state’s 150th birthday.

After lengthy negotiations, the Kansas House this week approved a resolution honoring the pivotal role Lecompton played in events leading up to the U.S. Civil War. Legislative leaders are scheduled to travel to Lecompton on May 20 to sign the resolution, and all state legislators have been invited to attend.

We know the people of Lecompton will roll out the red carpet for this event and make it well worth the 20-mile trip from Topeka, and even farther if legislators have managed to finish their work and head home. Although Lecompton has dwindled in size, the town still is proud of the heritage that a dedicated group of volunteers works hard to preserve and promote.

We congratulate Lecompton on this recognition of its important history and urge lawmakers to take the time to visit this important historic site.

Retail summit Downtown merchants should give extended hours a solid trial.

C

ongratulations to Downtown Lawrence Inc. for putting the issue of extended retail hours back on the table.

The organization has scheduled a “Downtown Retail Summit” for Tuesday to discuss the potential advantage of later hours for downtown shops. It’s obvious that downtown fills up in the evenings with people who come to enjoy dinner, a drink or an entertainment opportunity. Why not add shopping to that list?

Whether extended hours make sense is open to debate, but it seems worth a try. To properly test the potential benefit of longer hours, a large number of downtown retailers would need to commit to standard extended hours that could be promoted to prospective customers. And businesses would need to stick to the extended schedule long enough for customers to get used to it. Six months might be a reasonable period.

Summer seems an ideal time to give this idea a try. Band concerts in the park or a trip to the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center bring potential customers downtown later in the day. Longer daylight hours encourage them to stay a while to shop or dine out. By mid-August students will be returning to Lawrence, which always feeds local business.

Home football games and other activities also would contribute to downtown activity.

Downtown retail vacancies seem particularly high right now. We know these things tend to run in cycles, but downtown merchants shouldn’t be satisfied to just keep doing things in the same old way and see what happens. Longer hours may not improve their bottom line, but it’s worth a try.

Persistence pays off in bin Laden mission WASHINGTON — The assault on Osama bin Laden — as quick and ruthless an operation as you would see in any spy movie — shows that the CIA and the military’s super-secret Joint Special Operations Command have combined to create what amounts to a highly effective killing machine.

The shorthand for these operations is “find, fix, finish.” The CIA and other intelligence agencies typically provide the first two, and the bin Laden attack shows that this process can take years of patient detective work.

JSOC warriors then come in for the finish.

A reconstruction of how this operation was put together shows how the pieces of America’s counterterrorism policy f it together. It also illuminates one of the CIA’s biggest puzzles, which is whether it can work effectively with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence directorate. The answer seems to be “sometimes.”

The trail that led to bin Laden’s hideout in the town of Abbottabad, about 75 miles north of Islamabad, began between 2002 and 2004 with the CIA’s interrogation of al-Qaida “high-value targets” at secret CIA sites overseas. Several detainees mentioned the “nom de guerre,” or nickname, of one of bin Laden’s couriers.

Some of the detainees who confirmed the courier’s nickname were subjected to “enhanced interrogation techniques,” the CIA’s formal name for what is now widely viewed as

Does bin Laden’s “demise mean the death of al-Qaida? CIA analysts won’t go that far. But they have concluded that the operation ‘will accelerate its demise …’”

torture. This adds a moral ambiguity to a story that is otherwise one of triumphal retribution and justice.

The CIA spent years trying to figure out the courier’s identity.

Using sources that U.S. officials won’t discuss, the agency finally discovered the courier’s real name in 2007, along with the important fact that he had a brother. In early 2009, a team from the agency’s counterterrorism center traced him to a compound in Abbottabad that he shared with the brother.

Pakistan was told little about the bin Laden manhunt, for fear that the information would leak.

But a U.S. official said the Pakistanis offered some help. “They provided information that helped us identify where one of

the brothers might be located,” this off icial said. He added: “They didn’t tell us he was in Abbottabad, but their information allowed us to track him there.”

Now the agency had a suspect location but no firm idea bin Laden was there. Surveillance conf irmed that this was an unusual compound. The surrounding walls were up to 18 feet high, and even the balconies had seven-foot walls. And the compound maintained unusual security: It had no telephone or Internet service, and trash was regularly burned.

As the CIA continued its surveillance, analysts concluded that another family was secretly living in the compound, along with the two brothers. The number of family members and other details matched bin Laden’s likely family group. This crucial “circumstantial” evidence was briefed to President Obama last August, says a U.S. official.

This year, JSOC began preparing the “finish” operation, using members of Seal Team 6, its most elite counterterrorism unit.

Obama was given a choice between bombing the compound or staging the raid. Obama opted for the latter, believing the U.S. needed to capture bin Laden’s body.

One of the mysteries is whether the Pakistani government knew all along who was hiding in Abbottabad. It is hardly remote territory: A Pakistani military college is two miles away. A senior U.S. official says the CIA

has carefully examined this question but has “zero evidence” of Pakistani government knowledge of bin Laden’s location.

That’s not quite the same as saying for certain that the Pakistanis didn’t know, and it allows the ISI and CIA to continue working as sometime partners.

CIA Director Leon Panetta, who directed the operation, told Pakistan nothing until the helicopters had left Abbottabad to return to Afghanistan. But U.S. officials describe the subsequent Pakistani reaction as helpful.

Pakistani officials urged Obama to make his unusual late-night announcement so the Pakistani public would immediately know the U.S. had attacked bin Laden, not a Pakistani target. And Islamabad promised to try to mitigate Pakistani popular anger, which officials did by issuing a supportive statement Monday.

Does bin Laden’s demise mean the death of al-Qaida? CIA analysts won’t go that far. But they have concluded that the operation “will accelerate its demise,” and that the battered organization is now at a “tipping point” that could lead to collapse.

The hidden trophy of Sunday’s raid: The JSOC team captured intelligence materials from the compound that might reveal the location of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the organization’s new commander. “That’s where we’re going next,” says one U.S. official involved in planning the operation.

YOUR TURN

Domestic violence has lasting impact

By Charles Jones

Symbol gone, threat lingers “Ding dong the witch is dead!”

As crowds gathered outside the White House, at the site of Ground Zero and in other public places to cheer news of the death of Osama bin Laden, President Obama said in a late Sunday night address from the White House, “Justice has been done.” To one man, justice has been done, but not to the terrorist movement itself, which is bigger than any one man and whose franchise headquarters appears to have moved now to Yemen.

At the end, bin Laden died a coward, hiding in a fortified mansion in Abbottabad, Pakistan. This was no Hitler-in-his-bunker moment in which the Nazi dictator expired by his own hand. Adolf Hitler’s death came as Allied troops swept into Berlin and by then the German war machine had been crushed.

While Nazism was based on the flawed premise of racial superiority, al-Qaidaism is based on the equally flawed notion of the superiority of a particularly radical form of Islam and the innate inferiority of all other religious beliefs.

Media reports in the aftermath of the president’s announcement said the key for the American forces hunting bin Laden was one of his most trusted couriers, identified by men captured shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks. If this is true, and if those captured were taken to Guantanamo and gave up information after “enhanced” interrogation techniques, denounced by then-Senator Obama and his Democratic colleagues, this would be a vindication for the policies of Vice President Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush.

The political implications of this successful operation are already being debated. President Obama will probably get a bump in his sagging poll numbers, which is fine; after all bin Laden was killed on his watch. But this operation was a team effort fanned out over three administrations. The war isn’t over, though, as President Obama said.

Since Osama bin Laden dropped out of sight, with only the occasional message filtered through al-Jazeera, his effectiveness in planning new terror attacks has always been problematic. Surely he trained and inspired a new generation of terrorists who will now take up his mantle and seek to use whatever “martyrdom” they can sell to new recruits to encourage others to join the war against the “Great Satan.”

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

policy is to hunt down “theseIf ourterrorists and exact justice, it

is a good policy that should be pursued with the rest of the alQaida leadership wherever we find them.”

It is good that bin Laden was killed in Pakistan and not captured and brought to America to stand trial, where Attorney General Eric Holder has suggested he would receive full constitutional rights. Imagine the circus that would have been with lawyers using the American system of justice to try to free him, citing supposed violations of his constitutional “rights.”

The killing of bin Laden might have erased a symbol, but it doesn’t end the conflict. The president made his obligatory statement, also made by his two predecessors, that the U.S. “is not — and never will be — at war with Islam.” But it cannot be denied that a particularly virulent strain of religious disease has invaded virtually all of those who have killed or wounded so many Americans, including those of the Muslim faith.

If our policy is to hunt down these terrorists and exact justice, it is a good policy that should be pursued with the rest of the alQaida leadership wherever we find them.

Let’s celebrate this American victory — it’s needed in this ongoing war — but then let’s keep the pressure on and not give these terrorists a moment’s rest.

There is plenty more that can be done, not only in Europe, but also in this country where too many terrorists reside, plotting to kill even more innocent men, women and children.

— Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Media Services.

Part of my teaching load includes a graduate course on ethics. Each term, I ask students to write a paper on the people and events instrumental in the formation of their ethical values. You might be surprised how often I read episodes of domestic violence. I am.

For those inclined to raise a hand to their children or spouses, let me assure you that never once has a student drawn a positive conclusion from a violent outburst. Never once has a student said “my old man roughed me up, but it helped me grow strong.” Never once has a student said “my mother hit us all the time, and it made us realize the wisdom of her advice.” It just doesn’t happen that way.

What does seem to happen is resentment, cutting off communication, distrust, and struggles to forget … much less to forgive. It is, of course, possible and even common for these victims to move in a positive direction as an adverse reaction to ugly experiences. Students do swear to themselves that they would never treat their children or loved ones so cruelly. And since substance abuse frequently plays a triggering Jones role in domestic violence, students often vow that they will never let alcohol or drugs be so harmful to their own families. To their own kids.

Imagine that. To impress your children in such a way that their most fervent hope, their most bitter commitment is to not be like you.

Because of the context — my graduate students are generally older and successful — I am inclined to take their adverse aspirations at face value. I believe they will do better. I believe they will break the cycle of domestic violence that often infects successive generations.

But I don't know. The pull of domestic violence is so terribly strong. It hangs on persistently across time and all social strata: income, geography, race and education. I hope and pray for them, but I cannot erase their memories, their models.

Imagine that. Your children trying fiercely to be different from you. But no matter how hard they try, they find one angry night that your blood still rises in their veins and the fury in your face is now in their mirror.

Somehow, somewhere, we’re all accountable for the lives we live. Imagine what your children or spouse would say if asked to assess your legacy. Then stop.

Manhattan repeals controversial ordinance MANHATTAN — Manhattan City Commission has voted to repeal a controversial ordinance that added sexual orientation and a new definition of gender identity to its anti-discrimination policy.

The vote Tuesday was 3-2 and a second reading must be approved before the ordinance is officially repealed.

The previous commission had passed the ordinance in February, making Manhattan the second city in the state to protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation. But new council members were elected in April and opponents of the ordinance continued to push for its repeal.

KMAN reports that a large crowd attended Tuesday’s meeting, with both supporters and opponents speaking before the vote.

Oh No Oh My, Generationals Oh No Oh My is a gorgeous sounding, pristine indie pop band that finds that balance between intelligent, gentle lyricism and dynamic, but beautiful production. The Austin, Texas, quartet is touring in support of its 2011 album "People Problems," and while they aren't very well known, they should be, as their music is both accessible and gripping. Songs like "Brains" pluck at heartstrings, as it builds from a few simple, repeating bars of guitar to a full-blown affair driven by strings, keys and vocal modulators.

And if that weren't enough, another fantastic indie pop group from New Orleans, Generationals, will play. The band's music is a little rougher but even catchier as it leans heavily on keyboards, simple guitar riffs and lyrics delivered in an almost chant-like fashion from Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner. The resultant band is a fantastic foil for Oh No Oh My and rounds out the bill quite nicely.

Shock and awe

——

No. 24 Lacey eager to compare UK, KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Blue-chip basketball prospect Trevor Lacey, who had spent the last 48 hours on an off icial recruiting visit to the University of Kentucky, returned to his tornado-ravaged home state of Alabama on Wednesday afternoon.

“The power was out for seven days. It came on just an hour ago,” Lacey, a 6-foot-3 senior shooting guard from Huntsville’s Butler High School, said in a phone interview Wednesday night from Huntsville.

“It (tornado) knocked a couple houses down in my city, but it wasn’t anything like Tuscaloosa (which had extensive damage).”

Weather concerns kept Lacey from making an official recruiting visit to Kansas University last weekend. He has rescheduled that trip for Saturday and Sunday and says he’s looking forward to seeing KU up close and personal so soon after checking out Lexington.

“I enjoyed it. It was great,” Lacey said of his visit to UK. “Just seeing how coach (John) Calipari is ... he’s passionate, always helping his players. He’s always on the go about them,” noted Lacey, Rivals.com’s No. 24-rated player who has a final list of KU, UK, Alabama, Auburn, North Carolina State and Connecticut.

Lacey, who averaged 31 . 2 points a game last season, said he’s “looking forward to getting to know coach (Bill) Self better this weekend. I met him one time. He seems like a cool guy.”

Lacey believes there’s a great chance of immediate playing time as a freshman at Kansas.

“Yes, sir,” he said. “That’s why I’m coming to visit.”

Lacey, who has also visited Alabama and Auburn, said he might visit either N.C. State or UConn prior to the May 18 conclusion of the spring signing period. He said he had no target date for his final decision. ●

Daniels update: No. 10-rated DeAndre Daniels, a 6-8 senior forward from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., will choose between KU, Duke and Texas after visiting with his father at IMG sometime before the end of the signing period.

“I love the overall atmosphere at Kansas,” Daniels told Rivals.com on Wednesday.

“I love everything about Duke,” he noted.

Of UT, he said: “I like the style of play and think I would fit in well with it.” ●

JIMMY WATERS (7) IS CONGRATULATED AT HOME PLATE after his eighth-inning home run. KU routed Wichita State, 11-2, on Wednesday in Wichita.

Jayhawks pummel Wichita State J-W Staff Reports

WICHITA — Kansas University’s baseball team scored 11 runs on a season-high 18 hits, including three each by freshman Ka’iana Eldredge and senior Casey Lytle as the Jayhawks unloaded on Wichita State, 11-2, to complete a sweep of the two-game midweek series Wednesday night at Eck Stadium.

The Jayhawks improved to 22-24 overall, while the Shockers fell to 28-21. The nine-run margin of victory was the biggest by KU in a game against Wichita State since a 10-1 Kansas win on April 7, 1988.

“I’m proud of the way we’ve rebounded (from last weekend),” KU coach Ritch Price said, referring to a three-game sweep at Texas Tech. “I think that speaks volumes about how much this team has matured during the course of the season. We’ve grinded every day of the season. We were offensively challenged early in the year, but to come down here and have everybody contribute is pretty special.”

Kansas scored early and often in a game that was never really in doubt. In the first inning, KU plated two on a pair of singles — off WSU starter and Lawrence High product Albert Minnis — and two Wichita State errors. Junior Zac Elgie collected the only RBI on a groundout.

WSU CATCHER CHRIS O’BRIEN, LEFT, goes out to talk to pitcher Albert Minnis after he fell behind KU in the second inning. Minnis, a WSU freshman from Lawrence, took the loss.

KU sent 10 men to the plate in the second inning, scoring four runs on five hits to chase Minnis, a WSU freshman who fell to 1-1.

Kansas senior Casey Lytle, sophomore Alex DeLeon and junior Chris Manship opened the frame with three straight base hits.

Lytle collected his first of three

hits, while DeLeon doubled to the gap in right center to give the Jayhawks a 3-0 lead.

Following a fielder’s choice and a walk, Eldredge singled home another run to end Minnis’ night 1 after just 1 ⁄3 innings. The inning continued as Jimmy Waters was hit by pitch to load the bases, and

Elgie followed with his second RBI on a single to left field to cap the four-run rally.

“I’m really proud of the progress that Ka’iana has made. He’s playing like a freshman All-American right now,” Price said. “We’re talking about a guy who was hitting like .145 before we started Big 12 play, and I think he’s like .290-something in the conference. He’s improved each and every week. Casey Lytle has been one of our two best players all year. It’s a pleasure to see how much he’s improved in the four years he’s been here.”

Sophomore Thomas Taylor earned his fifth win of the year, pitching three shutout innings in a pre-determined split. Taylor allowed three hits and recorded four strikeouts. Senior Wally Marciel followed Taylor with three scoreless innings before Wichita State finally got on the board with an RBI ground out in the seventh.

By that point, KU had a 10-run lead. Waters added his fourth home run of the season to put the final exclamation point on the night. In all, 11 batters recorded base hits for the Jayhawks, including all nine starting position players. The 18 base hits were the most by KU since it collected 19 in a game against Missouri on May 7 of last year.

The Jayhawks will travel to No. 10 Oklahoma for a three-game series beginning Friday.

River City redux: Lions, Firebirds fall in Festival makeups LHS lethargic in 5-3 loss to SMNW

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

For the Lawrence High baseball team, Wednesday was one of those days where a rainout might have been welcomed.

For the second time this week, the Lions were dealt a tough home loss — in the most recent case, 5-3 to Shawnee Mission Northwest — in which a lack of intensity was to blame.

“We had great BP, a great inand-out, and then, somewhere between that and the first pitch, we just had an energy zap,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “And I don’t know why.”

The zap led to zip for the Lions, who managed just six hits

and three runs in their second loss in two days.

The good thing about Wednesday’s loss was that it came during a make-up game from the River City Festival and, therefore, did not count on the Lions’ Sunflower League record. LHS still owns an 8-1 league record and remains alive to win a league title.

But what really stung was that the loss came because the Lions were unable to play their game.

Through the first 15 games of the season, LHS stole 49 bases.

The Lions have managed just one Kevin Anderson/Journal-World Photo stolen base in the last two games, and that came Wednesday on an PITCHER J.D. PROCHASKA, LEFT, DELIVERS to a Rockhurst batter. The Firebirds fell, 16-6, Please see LIONS, page 3B Wednesday at FSHS.

FSHS rocked by Rockhurst, 16-6

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Things seemingly couldn’t get any worse for Free State High’s baseball team following a rough first inning.

Only they did. And much worse, at that.

The Firebirds never bounced back and were routed, 16-6, in six innings by Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst on Wednesday evening at FSHS. A combination of FSHS errors, passed balls and wild pitches only aided the Hawklets, who pounded 16 hits and put their leadoff man on in every inning.

“We are absolutely shooting ourselves in the foot at every

opportunity,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said.

The Firebirds (12-5) committed four errors in the 25-minute first inning, allowing the Hawklets to jump ahead 5-0 and send 11 batters to the plate despite only tallying three hits.

Rockhurst, led by three-hit games from Pete Sorrentino and Henry Weiler, tacked on two run in the second inning and three more in the fourth before exploding for six runs in the sixth.

The Firebirds were able to chip away for two runs in the third on an error and a sacrifice fly from J.D. Prochaska, but never Please see FIREBIRDS, page 3B

LHS tennis wins tune-up

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

Over the past few weeks, Lawrence High’s tennis team has been preparing for one day.

That day is Friday, when the Lions host one of four Class 6A regional meets at the Lawrence Tennis Center.

So Wednesday’s dual with Mill Valley was less about the final results and more about the progress of their preparation.

The Lions won the dual, 53, but coach Chris Marshall really just wanted to see his players apply practice fundamentals to game situations.

“Instead of beating up on each other, it’s nice to play somebody else,” Marshall said.

Freshman Thomas Irick was the most dominant Wednesday, securing an 8-0 singles victory over Mill Valley’s Ryan Howes and an 8-2 doubles victory with teammate Pace Leggins.

Irick said the brisk wind affected his forehand and caused a few too many unforced errors for his liking.

But he feels he is ready for his first taste of regional play.

“I’m excited for it, and I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Irick said. “There’s gonna be a lot of good competition.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S CONNOR SCHMIDT TRIES HIS BACKHAND in a doubles match Wednesday. LHS won its dual with Mill Valley, 5-3, at the Lawrence Tennis Center.

Senior Ilan Rosen, who did not play Wednesday because he had used up his allotment of matches, will be the other singles player for the Lions.

Marshall expects both players to earn top-eight seeds Friday.

Senior Connor Schmidt and junior Matt Grom, the Lions’ No. 1 doubles team, stormed back from a 3-0 hole against Mill Valley’s Joe Vincent and Eric Howes to win, 86.

Senior Eric Long and junior Matt Mikel, the No. 2 doubles team, lost to Ryan Speer and Lucas Robinette, 8-5.

Long will play on the second doubles team again on

Friday and pair with either Mikel or Leggins.

Marshall said he hopes his players can be more consistent Friday and not focus on the negative as much.

“Sometimes we have a tendency to get down when we lose points, so then we lose two or three points, which means we lose a game,” Marshall said.

The regional meet will start at 9 a.m. Friday. The other teams participating are Free State, Leavenworth, Olathe East, Olathe North, Olathe Northwest, Olathe South and Topeka. ● Results on page 10B

Royals’ streak ends, 3-2 KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Nick Markakis homered, Jake Arrieta pitched seven strong innings, and the rejuvenated Baltimore Orioles got a lucky landing Wednesday night to beat Kansas City, 3-2, snapping the Royals’ four-game winning streak.

It was 3-1 in the eighth when Alcides Escobar singled with one out against Orioles reliever Jim Johnson. Mike Aviles followed with a drive past center fielder Adam Jones that wedged under the fence, in plain sight.

Aviles circled the bases with what fans thought was a tying, inside-the-park home run.

But second-base umpire and crew chief Tim Welke made Aviles return to second with a double and sent Escobar back to third.

The crowd booed, and Royals manager Ned Yost went to Welke for an explanation.

Melky Cabrera drove in one run with an infield out, but reliever Michael Gonzalez retired Alex Gordon on a flyball.

It was the 14th victory of the season for the Orioles, who did not ring up No. 14 last year until May 21.

It was also road win No. 7, putting them six weeks ahead of last year’s pace.

Arrieta (4-1) gave up only three hits and one run, a homer by Jeff Francoeur. He walked two and struck out eight.

Although LHS fell to 10-7 overall, there were a handful of good moments during Wednesday’s setback.

Designated hitter Matt Sutliffe continued to tear the cover off the ball, going 3-for3 with a double and an RBI. Aaron Gile also had a big game, giving the Lions a huge lift in the bottom of the fourth with a two-run home run to left field that scored Sutliffe.

momentarily pulled the Lions out of their funk.

“Even though we were still down one, it felt like we were up,” Stoll said.

The good vibes were shortlived. Northwest first baseman Derek Olson led off the top of the fifth with a solo home run off of Cameron Solko to put the Cougars back in front by two runs. SMNW added an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning, when a pitch from Solko skipped past catcher Jake Vinoverski, allowing Matt Milner to race home with Northwest’s fifth run.

The Lions were in good position to stage a rally in their f inal at-bat, but McNeace sat down the top three hitters in Lawrence’s order on five pitches, leaving Sutliffe on deck as the final out was recorded.

coach Joe Dooley, who reportedly interviewed for the headcoaching job at George Washington University this week, appears to be running neckand-neck with Vermont coach Mike Lonergan for the job, ESPN’s Andy Katz reported.

“A number of sources close to George Washington, both inside and out of the A-10, expect the choice to replace Karl Hobbs to come down to Vermont head coach Mike Lonergan, who is in good with new AD Patrick Nero (the former America East commissioner), and Kansas assistant Joe Dooley, who played at GW and has plenty of booster support,” Katz wrote on ESPN.com.

on in front of him because (Sutliffe) has a chance to hit the ball onto Louisiana Street,” Stoll said.

It never happened, and the Lions were left to ponder what went wrong for the second day in a row. Gile, a senior, offered a pretty sound explanation.

“We just weren’t executing at the plate,” he said. “I think (pressing) had a little bit to do with it. People are kind of looking ahead to our two big games next week (Monday and Thursday vs. Free State), and we can’t do that.”

The Lions return to the diamond at 5:30 today, when they play host to Leavenworth.

Being informed best way to prevent STDs Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Emeril makes his prime-time TV return A notable name joins the ranks of television chefs acting as travel guides. Emeril Lagasse hosts “The Originals” (9:30 p.m., Cooking Channel). The former Food Network star appears on the newer rival network to showcase iconic restaurants in cities all over America. First up, Emeril visits San Francisco, where he samples the menu at the Buena Vista Cafe, the place that introduced Americans to Irish coffee.

Like many cable stars, Emeril came to define and in some ways transcend his old haunt, the Food Network. He was such a celebrity that NBC launched an ill-fated fall 2001 sitcom bearing his name.

There’s no telling whether Emeril will or can recycle his wellknown catchphrases, “Bam!” or “Kick it up a notch!” for “The Originals.” ● Minda and Nikki are on a mission.

Determined to demonstrate that running a pawnshop is not simply a man’s world, these “Pawn Queens” (9 p.m., TLC) stars run a family-friendly business stocked with jewelry, vintage Barbie dolls and oneof-a-kind antiques.

Every episode focuses on the struggle to keep the Chicago-area business alive as well as the peculiar objects — and people — that cross their threshold. ● A baby in need of an expensive operation and the generosity of family, neighbors and perfect strangers. These elements contribute to heartbreaking and heartwarming stories all over the world.

There is probably not a small town or big city in America where a story like this does not seem familiar. And journalists know well how much these tales can attract and expand an audience.

So what happens when a human-interest story like this occurs on a fault line between two embattled populations? “Precious Life” (7:30 p.m., HBO) recounts the efforts

by Israeli doctors to save a young girl suffering from an immune deficiency, the same ailment that claimed the lives of two siblings. Only a costly bone-marrow transplant can save her. So first money must be raised and then a donor must be found.

To complicate matters further, the child is a Palestinian, from Gaza, an area now under Hamas control, a tiny patch of land with more than a million inhabitants cut off from all contact with neighboring Israel — except for access to hospital care.

Directed by Israeli journalist Shlomi Eldar, “Life” uses this tremendous humaninterest story to shed a spotlight on the plight of those living in Gaza.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Another singer goes home on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Nate Haskell evades capture on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Deangelo hints at an “inner circle” of employees on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC). ● A mute murder suspect raises questions on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Liz’s ex-friend (Parker Posey) causes trouble on “Parks and Recreation” (8:30 p.m., NBC). ● A prison guard is murdered outside of a jeweler’s shop on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Tracy invades Liz’s summer idyll on “30 Rock” (9 p.m., NBC). ● Jill returns from Australia with a new perspective on “Real Housewives of New York” (9 p.m., Bravo).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, May 5: This year, new ideas naturally come forward. You are more willing than in the past to try different experiences. Follow your instincts from situation to situation. If you are single, someone too good to be true is most likely just that.

If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from weekends away together, just the two of you. Gemini can be very controlling and possessive.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You express yourself more than usual.

The more gently you express your feelings, the better the reaction. Don’t get upset when an intellectual discussion occurs out of the blue. Tonight: Add that special spark.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Curb a tendency to be possessive. Others might be overly serious or touchy. This is a short-lived phase. You will make it through a problem with ease. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ You are all smiles, and others respond to that energy most happily. Still, there is a serious-

ness when eyeing a child or loved one. Tonight: So what if it is Thursday night? Start the weekend right.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You might not be as sure of yourself as usual. Someone could be pushing your buttons, and your reaction could be over the top, too. Don’t allow anyone to trigger you but you. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ Zero in on your priorities as you rarely have. How you view a changeable situation could be very different from your initial response. Tonight: Where the action is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Others often envy how you accept different work and what you do with difficult situations.

Honestly, you might wonder whether making that extra effort is worth it. Tonight: A must appearance.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ You might be reaching out for something that isn’t quite reachable.

Listen to news that is forthcoming, and allow more perspective and knowledge. Tonight: Let your imagination make the call.
