House bill bans indirectly subsidizing abortions

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — The Kansas House on Monday approved a bill designed to prevent the state from subsidizing abortions even indirectly through

Patchy clouds

tax breaks, but the measure’s chances in the Senate appeared uncertain.

The bill was adopted by an 88-31 vote. The measure would prohibit Kansas taxpayers from claiming abortion expenses under a de-

duction for medical costs when filing their income taxes. It also would deny tax breaks to abortion providers, such as an exemption to the sales tax that nonprofit groups claim when purchasing goods.

The House has a strong anti-abortion majority. Abortion opponents also appear to have a majority in the Senate, but that chamber hasn’t reviewed the legislation.

City eyeing new council for economic development Lawrence city commissioners are set to have their first discussion about overhauling the community’s economic development program, and talk is centering on how to make the area’s job creation efforts faster and friendlier.

Commissioners at their meeting tonight will discuss creating a new “Joint Economic Development Council” that would eventually have its own budget and some decision-making authority on economic development matters.

Mayor Bob Schumm said he thinks the greatest benefit of the new organization could Schumm be that it would bring the city, the county, the chamber of commerce and other business stakeholders closer together.

“In the past, when we have been faced with trying to get something done, it seems like there have been times we haven’t coordinated very well, and then a bit of a blame game begins,” Schumm said. “If it is a single entity, I think we’ll all will be bound by the word ‘us.’”

ROGENE ANDERSON, LEFT, IS THE ACCOMPANIST for choirs directed by Cathy Crispino at Lawrence High School. The two women, who organize Showtime, a long-running successful musical event in the Lawrence district, will be retiring at the end of the school year.

LEGISLATIVE REDISTRICTING

Longtime music educators House puts conservative retiring from city’s schools slant on map

By Christine Metz

cmetz@ljworld.com

When Lawrence High School seniors and juniors close their recognition concert with the finale to Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Gondoliers,” it will be a notable end of another sort for the school.

The musical number is the last one for Cathy Crispino, the woman who has directed choirs at LHS for 15 years, and Rogene Anderson, who has accompanied those choirs for the past 23 years. The two are retiring at the end of the year.

Anderson, who went into partial retirement six years ago, was a little teary eyed when talking about the end of a great partnership.

“Cathy has been my daughter, my sister, my confidant, my friend and probably my mother sometimes,” Anderson said.

“She’s a very important person to me.”

Together the two are the heart of Showtime, a community-loved event in which 135 high school seniors and juniors mesh choir with pop music.

The secret behind Showtime’s longtime success is Anderson and her organizational skills, Crispino said.

EDUCATOR LYNN BASOW, who teaches orchestra at Free State High School and Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, is retiring after 23 years with the school district. Basow, who has been at Free State since it opened in 1997, says she has worked at both high schools, all the junior highs and most of the elementary schools at some point or another.

“Rogene makes us all look good,” Crispino said.

“She puts in long, hard hours doing really tedious work to make something look creative and beautiful in the end. I don’t think anyone has a better support person behind them.”

Crispino and Anderson aren’t the only music teachers in the Lawrence school district whose final curtain call will be this year. Lynn Basow, conductor of the Free State High School or-

chestra, will put down her baton after 23 years in the district. And John Bowman, an elementary school music teacher, has already stood before his last grade school audience.

TOPEKA — The political war between conservatives and moderates escalated on Monday.

Conservative Republican legislators approved a plan to redraw Senate district boundaries that is similar to one that has already been rejected by a bipartisan coalition in the Senate.

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, RHutchinson, said his plan was for the House Redistricting Committee to finalize the proposal today and then have the full House vote on it Wednesday. The Legislature is scheduled to adjourn Friday, although it can extend the session.

Redistricting is one of several key issues, along with the state budget and proposed tax cuts, that legislators are fighting over.

“I’d like to keep pushing forward,” said O’Neal, who also serves as chairman of the House Redistricting Committee.

While the committee’s redistricting plan will probably gain House approval, House Minority Leader Paul Davis, DLawrence, said he didn’t think the proposal would fare any better in the Senate than the last time a similar plan was rejected.

“It’s a map that a lot of moderate Republicans as well as Democrats would have difficulties with,” Davis said.

A bipartisan coalition of Republicans and Democrats have approved a Senate map, 21-19. But conservative Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the Please see HOUSE, page 5A

piece of legislation,” Emler said.

Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican, said he would decide later in the week what to do with the bill and how it will proceed as the session nears the conclusion of its 90-day limit on Friday.

Mary Kay Culp, executive director of Kansans for Life, praised the measure’s passage and said concerns raised by critics were unfounded.

“This common sense bill simply insures women have access to medical information compiled by Kansas health department professionals, protects human dignity in civil law, prevents Kansas taxpayers from subsidizing abortion, and poses zero threat to medical school accreditation,” Culp said.

Rep. Lance Kinzer, a leading House supporter of the bill, said he thought it stood a good chance of passage in the Senate if there was enough time for the chamber to consider it. The House debated the bill before it broke for the weekend, and he said that the strong vote was “largely expected.”

“It is certainly our hope that the balance of the week or so that we have left that the Senate will

board of directors, said he thinks the new organization also will allow the community to respond more quickly to economic development opportunities.

“These opportunities, when they come up, they’re time sensitive,” Ross said. “As a community, we need to be able to marshal our forces to meet the needs of the community.”

But exactly what authority the new organization would have is a detail still left to be decided.

Commissioners at their meeting are expected to ask staff members to prepare an ordinance that would begin to spell out some of those details.

Schumm said he could envision the new entity eventually having its own budget — both from private and public sources — and having the authority to offer some incentives to companies through that budget.

As for other details, the chamber has proposed a general structure for the organization. Those details include:

A three-member executive committee would make “day-today” decisions related to

take it up,” said Kinzer, an Olathe Republican. “If they do, given the past history, the likelihood that it will pass would be strong, but I also know we’re short on time. We’ll have to see what happens.”

Critics charged that legislators had overreached in passing the bill, saying that it takes the decision about a woman’s health out of her hands, while creating unknown tax code consequences for businesses and residents.

“Access to scientifically accurate sex education will also be diminished, women will be provided a false guarantee of financial support, and we will see blatant state-level government intrusion, dictating what products the private insurance business can and cannot sell,” said July Burkhart, founder and executive director of Trust Women.

The measure also would prevent state employees, including doctors-intraining at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., from performing abortions on state property or state time.

The Medical Center worried the accreditation of its obstetrics and gynecology program would be in danger, and lawmakers added a provision saying its medical residents could do abortions offsite, on their own time, for a year. But the Medical Center wants a permanent exception. economic development initiatives in the city and the county. The executive committee would be made up of the Lawrence city manager, the county administrator and the chamber CEO.

The larger “Joint Economic Development Council” would be established to supervise the organization’s budget, to make budget requests to the city and the county, and to recommend polices for economic development initiatives. The council would include the three members from the executive committee, plus several representatives from Kansas University and other organizations.

They include: the chair of the chamber’s board of directors; a Lawrence city commissioner, a Douglas County commissioner, the KU chancellor or her designee, the executive chair of the Bioscience and Business Technology Center; and three representatives from the business community appointed by the chamber CEO. The city administrators of Eudora and Baldwin City also would serve as ex officio members of the council.

Commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. today at City Hall.

Orscheln Farm & Home shut down its chick sale operations in mid-April — two to three CITY weeks earlier than normal COMMISSION — after the city advised the store that it was out of compliance with an ordinance passed to regulate the raising of chickens in residential neighborhoods.

The backyard chicken law required that coops for chickens or ducks have at least 10 square feet of space per bird. Orscheln officials said that was not feasible for the large number of small chicks they house during the springtime sale.

“Like Governor Brownback, we were cheering for a different result of the basketball game, but as a second outcome, everyone at the Lawrence Community Shelter is grateful to the governor for this delicious and generous gift as a slam dunk of another sort,” LCS Executive Director Loring Henderson said.

Brownback said: “Governor Beshear and I are very appreciative of the work done by organizations like the Hope Center and Lawrence Community Shelter.

“They provide the bridge that families and individuals need to get their lives back on track.”

Brownback also thanked the Kansas City Steak Co., which helped provide the Kansas steak burgers, and the Kansas Beef Council, which helped arrange the donation.

Some farmers expect harvest to start in May SALINA (AP) — Farmers in north-central Kansas might be planting soybeans this time of year, seeding gardens, even mailing graduation announcements — anything but greasing combines.

This year it’s different, maybe even unprecedented.

A balmy late winter and spring startled the wheat crop into an early awakening, and now has folks in the grain game gearing for a wheat harvest two or more weeks sooner than normal.

Most crops are ripe and ready by mid-June, but this season, some are predicting that combines could roll into Saline County during the last week of May, or no later than the first week of June.

In more than 70 years

of farming — first as a boy in McPherson County and now in western Saline County — Quenten Swenson cannot recall harvesting wheat before Memorial Day. “It’ll be very possibly during the last week in May, depending on the weather,” said Swenson, 90. He anticipates an “above-average crop as long as we don’t get any hail.”

Farther south in Oklahoma and Texas, the annual wheat harvest campaign has begun.

The grain is carrying 10 to 12 percent moisture, dry enough to store in an elevator, testing at 58 1/2 to 60 pounds a bushel — the industry standard is 60 — and yielding from 40 to 60 bushels to the acre.

Wheeler, in the memo, said the original ordinance approved in 2009 didn’t foresee the effect it would have on some retailers.

allow for businesses such as Orscheln and Tractor Supply Company to sell the young chicks for a limited time.

A memo from city attorney Toni Wheeler said the new ordinance also will make it clear the U.S. Postal Service doesn’t have to comply with the 10-squarefeet requirement when

ing scale based on household income. The lowest fee level is 100 percent of the federal poverty level, which is $10,890 annual income for an individual or $22,350 for a family of four.

She said the clinic is struggling to meet the growing needs because the clinic has received no increase in state funding and it lost $8,000 in United Way of Douglas County funding this year.

“I am trying to figure out a way to pay the bills and keep the doors open,” she said.

In 2011, the clinic had 6,816 patient visits. It provided care for 3,676 patients and of those 1,466 were uninsured.

Inadequate access to dental services was among the top challenges unveiled in a 38-page Community Health Assessment released last week by the Douglas County Health Department. It found one in five residents had not seen a dentist in the past year. Insufficient access to health care also was mentioned. Thirtyfive percent of adults said they had not had a checkup in the past year.

Kenney thinks a number of factors are causing the decline in access to care. Among them:

A decline in health insurance coverage.

For those with insurance, there have been rising costs for co-payments and premiums.

For those with Medicaid coverage, she thinks there is a lack of providers because more people are qualifying for services.

For the uninsured, there has been a lack of funding for safety net clinics and therefore, they can’t keep up with demand.

“It’s interesting because we know some states have been more aggressive about trying to support the safety net clinics to provide direct care to the uninsured, but it looks like that just doesn’t substitute for having health insurance coverage,” Kenney said.

a state-by-state look at changes in access and the first to compare access in every state for those with insurance to those without insurance.

“Our study shows that the uninsured experience substantially worse access to care relative to the insured in all states,” said Genevieve Kenney, the study’s lead author. “This indicates that the health care safety net is not acting as an effective substitute for health insurance coverage when it comes to providing basic health care to the uninsured.”

Among the uninsured in Kansas in 2010:

42 — percent had a routine checkup.

37 — percent had dental visit.

45 — percent had unmet medical needs because of costs.

When people don’t have access to preventive care, the consequences can be devastating financially and physically, Kenney said.

Q:

Did Larry Brown have an official position with the 2012 KU men’s basketball team?

A:

He did not. Brown likes to spend stretches of time visiting his coaching friends throughout the country and enjoys giving them feedback on their teams. As he did in 2008, Brown spent time with Bill Self late this season, but unlike in 2008, when Brown watched the final game from the stands in the KU section, he left the Final Four before the title game because he is friends with both Self and Kentucky coach John Calipari. Both Self and Calipari worked for Brown when he was the KU coach. Before working for Brown in Lawrence, Calipari worked for Ted Owens.

After expressing a desire to return to college basketball, Brown, 71, was recently named head coach at Southern Methodist University in Texas.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• The Lawrence Police Department called off a pursuit of a stolen vehicle just before noon Monday.

According to Lawrence police Sgt. Trent McKinley, here’s a rundown of the chase: The owner of a teal 1994 Chevy Z-71 truck spotted that vehicle — stolen from a lot in Tonganoxie last night — near 23rd and Louisiana streets. Police responded and the truck fled, and other police vehicles joined the pursuit. The truck drove through west Lawrence and back to downtown, before exiting the road and driving on railroad tracks. Back on the road, the truck shot through the Pinckney neighborhood, before heading to an area near Second and McDonald. Because of safety concerns, the chase was called off.

McKinley said officers were working on several leads in the case.

A 1981 black Trans Am also was stolen last night from the same lot in Tonganoxie, McKinley said.

• A 5-year-old and a 9-year-old were treated then released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital after a single-vehicle accident Sunday night on Interstate 70, just east of Tonganoxie.

Douglas County District Court Judge Sally Pokorny sentenced Brandon M. Marcure, 19, Lawrence, to 60 days in jail and a year of probation for convictions stemming from two incidents earlier this year.

In April, Marcure pleaded guilty to criminal restraint, misdemeanor battery and intimidation of a witness following a Jan. 17 incident at an apartment in the 4500 block of Wimbledon Drive.

Marcure originally was charged with aggravated battery for the incident involving a woman with whom he once had a relationship. He also pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated escape from custody after a Feb. 1 incident outside Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Pokorny departed from the sentencing guidelines in the case, which called for prison time for the escape from custody conviction.

However, if Marcure’s probation is revoked, he could face up to two years imprisonment.

In February 2010, Barnes stepped away from his practice, Lawrence Family Medicine & Obstetrics, to battle chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow.

He had been fighting the disease for five years, and this was the third recurrence. He went through chemotherapy treatments and then had a bone marrow transplant in July 2010 at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Three months later, he returned to Lawrence to recover.

In January, he was able to return to practicing medicine, and he has decided to share his experience because so many patients and friends have asked about it.

During the forum, he said nothing would be off limits as far as the discussion.

CIA thwarts ‘undetectable’ al-Qaida bomb plot

By Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The CIA thwarted an ambitious plot by al-Qaida’s affiliate in Yemen to destroy a U.S.-bound airliner using a bomb with a sophisticated new design around the one-year anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden, U.S. officials said Monday.

The plot involved an upgrade of the underwear bomb that failed to detonate aboard a jetliner over Detroit on Christmas 2009. This new bomb was also designed to be used in a passenger’s underwear, but this time al-Qaida developed a more refined detonation system, U.S. officials said.

The FBI is examining the latest bomb to see whether it could have passed through airport security and brought down an airplane, officials said.

They said the device did not contain metal, meaning it probably could have

passed through an airport metal detector. But it was not clear whether new body scanners used in many airports would have detected it.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters Monday that she had been briefed about an “undetectable” device that was “going to be on a U.S.bound airliner.”

There were no immediate plans to change security procedures at U.S. airports.

The would-be suicide bomber, based in Yemen, had not yet picked a target or bought a plane ticket when the CIA stepped in and seized the bomb, officials said. It’s not immediately clear what happened to the alleged bomber.

White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said President Barack Obama learned about the plot in April and was assured the device posed no threat to the public.

“The president thanks

The CIA mission was such a secret, even top lawmakers were not told about it as the operation unfolded, one U.S. official said Monday. all intelligence and counterterrorism professionals involved for their outstanding work and for serving with the extraordinary skill and commitment that their enormous responsibilities demand,” Hayden said.

The operation unfolded even as the White House and Department of Homeland Security assured the American public that they knew of no al-Qaida plots against the U.S. around the anniversary of bin Laden’s death. The operation was carried out over the past few weeks, officials said.

“We have no credible information that terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida, are plotting attacks in the U.S. to coincide with the anniver-

No end to obesity epidemic, 20-year forecast shows

By Lauran Neergaard Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The obesity epidemic may be slowing, but don’t take in those pants yet.

Today, just over a third of U.S. adults are obese.

By 2030, 42 percent will be, says a forecast released Monday.

That’s not nearly as many as experts had predicted before the oncerapid rises in obesity rates began leveling off. But the new forecast suggests even small continuing increases will add up.

“We still have a very serious problem,” said obesity specialist Dr. William Dietz of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Worse, the already obese are getting fatter. Severe obesity will double by 2030, when 11 percent of adults will be nearly 100 pounds overweight, or more, concluded the research led by Duke University.

That could be an ominous consequence of childhood obesity. Half of severely obese adults were obese as children, and they put on more pounds as they grew up, said CDC’s Dietz.

GOP plan cuts social programs WASHINGTON (AP) — Moving to protect the military from a crippling wave of budget cuts next year, a key House committee voted Monday to cut instead food aid, health care and social services like Meals on Wheels.

The measure would require federal employees to contribute more to their pensions, saving taxpayers more than $80 billion over the coming decade, while illegal immigrants would be denied tax refunds from the $1,000 per-child tax credit. There’s no companion legislation moving in the Democratic-controlled Senate, and the proposal doesn’t stand a chance of making it to President Barack Obama’s desk for signature.

But the vote was a symbolic swipe at Obama in an election year focused on the economy.

The cuts approved by the Republican-controlled Budget Committee total more than $300 billion over the coming decade. The panel approved them on a party-line 21-9 vote; the full House is scheduled to vote on the measure on Thursday.

While being overweight increases anyone’s risk of diabetes, heart disease and a host of other ailments, the severely obese are most at risk — and the most expensive to treat.

Already, conservative estimates suggest obesityrelated problems account for at least 9 percent of the nation’s yearly health spending, or $150 billion a year.

Data presented Monday at a major CDC meeting paint something of a mixed picture of the obesity battle. There’s some progress: Clearly, the skyrocketing rises in obesity rates of the 1980s and ‘90s

have ended. But Americans aren’t getting thinner.

Over the past decade, obesity rates stayed about the same in women, while men experienced a small rise, said CDC’s Cynthia Ogden. That increase occurred mostly in higherincome men, for reasons researchers couldn’t explain.

About 17 percent of the nation’s children and teens were obese in 2009 and 2010, the latest available data. That’s about the same as at the beginning of the decade, although a closer look by Ogden shows continued small increases in boys, especially African-American boys.

Does that mean obesity has plateaued? Well, some larger CDC databases show continued upticks, said Duke University health economist Eric Finkelstein, who led the new CDC-funded forecast. His study used that information along with other factors that influence obesity rates — including food prices, prevalence of fastfood restaurants, unemployment — to come up with what he called “very reasonable estimates” for the next two decades.

sary of bin Laden’s death,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said on April 26.

On May 1, the Department of Homeland Security said, “We have no indication of any specific, credible threats or plots against the U.S. tied to the one-year anniversary of bin Laden’s death.”

The White House did not explain those statements Monday.

The CIA mission was such a secret, even top lawmakers were not told about it as the operation unfolded, one U.S. official said Monday.

The AP learned about the thwarted plot last week but agreed to White House and CIA requests not to publish it immediately because the sensitive intelligence operation was still under way. Once officials said those concerns were allayed, the AP decided to disclose the plot Monday despite requests from the Obama administration to wait for an official announcement today.

Santorum endorses one-time rival Romney WASHINGTON — Rick Santorum endorsed his onetime bitter rival Mitt Romney in a late-night email to his supporters.

Santorum on Monday urged his supporters to join him in working with the effective Republican nominee to deny President Barack Obama a second term. In his message, Santorum reminded his supporters of areas where he disagreed with Romney during their slog of a primary.

Yet Santorum says that, in his words, “above all else, we both agree that President Obama must be defeated.”

During their contest, Santorum bitterly clashed with Romney. At one point, Santorum called Romney

Group seeks resolution opposing U.N. policy

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A 20-yearold United Nations policy on sustainable development was described Monday as a major threat to the American way of life by a group of conservative legislators, Americans for Prosperity and others.

“This is the most aggressive attack on our liberties … that we have ever seen, and it is growing,” said state Rep. Dennis Hedke, R-Wichita.

Hedke and Reps. Greg Smith, R-Overland Park, and Forrest Knox, R-Altoona, urged the House Federal and State Affairs Committee to advance a resolution that condemns U.N. Agenda 21.

Smith said he realized that when Agenda 21 is mentioned some people “hear the Twilight Zone music go off” and accuse detractors as conspiracy theorists. But he said Agenda 21 is scary. “It questions the sovereignty of the United States. It questions the sovereignty of Kansas,” he said.

Agenda 21 states its purpose as seek- LEGISLATURE ing global cooperation to improve the environment and reduce economic disparities between countries. It came out of discussions on sustainable development at the U.N. Conference of Environment and Development in 1992.

But opponents of Agenda 21 say it represents outof-control environmentalism and has its tentacles entwined in the Environmental Protection Agency and myriad laws and regulations.

The committee is considering House Resolution 6032, which condemns the “destructive and insidious nature of United Nations Agenda 21.”

The resolution states that Agenda 21 is a radical plan that views as destructive “the American way of life of private property ownership, single family homes, private car ownership, individual travel choices and privately owned farms.” The purpose of the resolution is to expose to public policymakers the “dangerous intent” of Agenda 21.

Jim Mullins, Kansas grassroots director of Americans for Prosperity, said, “We must develop a comprehensive plan to roll back all of the laws and regulations which have been implemented

by Agenda 21.”

The Republican National Committee and Kansas Republican Party Central Committee have approved similar resolutions in opposition to Agenda 21.

But Rabbi Moti Rieber, director of the Kansas Interfaith Power & Light, a statewide nonprofit that engages faith communities in environmental stewardship, said the controversy over Agenda 21 was a “baseless conspiracy.”

In submitted testimony, Rieber noted that Agenda 21 is a nonbinding agreement. He said it is being used by right-wing activists who oppose green energy, stormwater management, bike paths and public transportation by “claiming that the U.N. is going to come to take away the keys to our cars or our rights to private property. This is, of course, patent nonsense.”

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable

3 beef-processing plants to close

Billionaire Warren Buffett supports building the Keystone XL pipeline that TransCanada wants to build to carry Canadian oil south across the Great Plains to connect to Gulf Coast refineries.

Buffett was asked about the project Monday on Buffett Fox Business Network.

Buffett says he’s not an expert on the project, but he thinks it generally makes sense to build the pipeline.

Last week, TransCanada reapplied for a permit to build the pipeline after changing the route through Nebraska to avoid the environmentally sensitive Sandhills region.

State Department approval is needed because the $7 billion pipeline would cross a U.S. border before crossing Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. TransCanada has also proposed connecting the pipeline to the Bakken oil field in North Dakota.

‘Pink slime’ uproar blamed; Kansas facility on closure list

———

LINCOLN, NEB. (AP) — Beef Products Inc. will close processing plants in three states this month because of the controversy surrounding its meat product that critics have dubbed “pink slime,” a company official said Monday.

About 650 jobs will be lost when the plants close on May 25 in Amarillo, Texas; Garden City, Kan.; and Waterloo Iowa, company spokesman Rich Jochum said. A plant in South Sioux City, Neb., will remain open but run at reduced capacity.

The South Dakota-based

DILBERT

company blamed the closures on what it said were unfounded attacks over its lean, finely textured beef.

During its processing, bits of beef are heated and treated with a small amount of ammonia to kill bacteria.

The filler has been used for years and meets federal food safety standards.

But the company suspended operations at the three plants in March amid public uproar over the filler.

BPI has declined to discuss financial details but has said it took a “substantial” hit after social media exploded with worry over the

product and an online petition seeking its ouster from schools drew hundreds of thousands of supporters.

Company officials had hoped to recover but have since realized that doing so wasn’t possible in the near future, Jochum said Monday. The company paid its workers during the suspension.

State executives who have supported the company blamed what they considered a smear campaign against the product, which has drawn scrutiny even though they and industry officials insist that it’s safe.

Before planning for a major new recreation complex in northwest Lawrence goes much further, developers need to get the public involved.

t is clear many behind-the-scenes discussions are occurring at Lawrence City Hall regarding plans for a proposed public-private partnership to build a recreation complex in northwest Lawrence.

Details revealed recently by Mayor Bob Schumm may have opened some eyes, especially the news that a concept plan for the project calls for a 300,000-squarefoot building and a 15,000-seat outdoor track and field stadium.

City leaders and private developers appear to be in a “brainstorming mode” in which they are looking for ways to ensure a new facility would stand out from the competition and truly make Lawrence a destination for sporting events and the crowds that come with them.

Such brainstorming is a positive sign.

Now is not the point in the process to think too small. But now is the time to begin communicating more with the public. This entire process has been billed as a public-private partnership. It is time for a key partner, the public, to receive a briefing.

Thus far, the private development group, which includes Lawrence businessmen Thomas Fritzel, Duane Schwada and Steve Schwada, have not made a broad presentation to the public explaining its vision for the project and why it is worthy of public support. Such a presentation ought to be made by the developers sooner rather than later. Likewise, city officials should be upfront with the public about the city’s (taxpayers’) role in the project.

Such a meeting also could allow the public to chime in with its thoughts about what amenities are needed or which ones would be considered over the top. It is becoming clear such a discussion will need to happen because the idea has grown from initial plans that would simply provide needed gym space in the community. It would be better to hear the public’s ideas now rather than when the project is trying to win zoning approval at City Hall.

At first blush, the idea of a major recreation complex that could serve both the needs of the community and attract significant visitor dollars looks promising. As with any project, the financial details that are to come will go a long way in determining its feasibility.

But before we even get to that stage, there’s an important step that should come first. In any partnership, it is critical for the partners to get to know each other and establish a common purpose.

If city leaders truly want this to be a public-private partnership, it is time for our private partners to brief us on their vision.

MacArthur speech worth remembering Where to start with Douglas MacArthur? To say that he was general of the Army?

To note that he was superintendent of West Point? To recall his famous exit from the Philippines and his even more famous return? To cite his role in the occupation of Japan? To refer to his time commanding U.N. troops in the Korean War? To reflect on his firing by Harry Truman? To quote his remarkable “just fade away” speech, interrupted numerous times by applause, on Capitol Hill?

We may not know where to start, but we surely know where to end — where MacArthur effectively ended his public career, 50 years ago, when he appeared among the ghosts and memories of West Point and spoke to the sparkling young men who could have known only vaguely on that day in May 1962 how Vietnam would shape and, in some tragic cases end, their lives.

On the surface, he was there to accept the Sylvanus Thayer Award, a coveted honor named for the father of the military academy. But in truth he was there to take his leave, to share the perspective of a man who was forged in the fire of battle, who thrived on military, moral and political conflict, who had grown weary of war and impatient with the conventions of diplomacy that led nations into armed confrontations that seemed ever more senseless and remorseless.

MacArthur was there to say goodbye to the world stage and to the millions whose lives he touched and commanded and whose spirits he lifted — or repulsed.

He did so with his customary flourish and flair and in the florid language that was as much a hallmark of his personality as his corncob pipe, always jutting from his teeth at a crisp 90-degree angle: Duty ... Honor ... Country.

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

MacArthur was there to say goodbye to the world stage and to the millions whose lives he touched and commanded and whose spirits he lifted — or repulsed.”

Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.

These are the three words most commonly associated with MacArthur, but they trace their provenance back to Sylvanus Thayer himself, and thus when MacArthur chose to make these words the leitmotif of his acceptance speech, he was identifying himself firmly with the grandest traditions of West Point.

Let civilian voices argue the merits or demerits of our processes of government; whether our strength is being sapped by deficit financing, indulged in too long by federal paternalism grown too mighty, by power groups grown too arrogant, by politics grown too corrupt, by crime grown too rampant, by morals grown too low, by taxes grown too high, by extremists grown too violent; whether our personal liberties are as thorough and complete as they should be.

These great national problems are not for your profes-

sional participation or military solution.

This is, in many ways, the most remarkable element of this remarkable speech, for MacArthur is the best-known violator of the most sacred element of the relationship between the military and civilian lives of our nation: the notion that policy is made by civilians and prosecuted by soldiers. It was MacArthur’s criticism of Truman, in a letter read on the floor of the House, that led to his dismissal and here, in the late autumn of a life that would end two years later, he presented an unmistakable critique of his greatest failure as a general.

The shadows are lengthening for me. The twilight is here. My days of old have vanished tone and tint; they have gone glimmering through the dreams of things that were. Their memory is one of wondrous beauty, watered by tears, and coaxed and caressed by the smiles of yesterday. I listen vainly for the witching melody of faint bugles blowing reveille, of far drums beating the long roll.

In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.

He spoke this passage without notes, leaning and bobbing in his customary fashion, deliberately creating the impression that he was no longer speaking from his head, but instead from his deepest sentiments. This was MacArthur showmanship at its greatest, for he had worked for days to memorize these words.

“No one could improvise such rhetoric,” wrote biographer William Manchester.

“The awed cadets thought that he was coining the phrases as he trod the platform before them, but what they had actually witnessed was the last performance of a consummate actor.”

call with you, but I want you to know that when I cross the river my last conscious thoughts will be of the Corps, and the Corps, and the Corps.

These are the final words of the speech, set up by his remark that in his dreams, “I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.” To our ears this sort of rhetoric is antiquarian, more suited to the days of Rudyard Kipling than to the era of Norman Mailer.

But there remains something intoxicating about the final passage: “the Corps, and the Corps, and the Corps.” It possesses a martial rhythm, echoing like shots in the very night that occasioned MacArthur’s dreams of guns crashing and musketry rattling.

Glenn Edward Schembechler was 33 years old and still an assistant football coach at Ohio State when MacArthur delivered this West Point valedictory. In 1969, five years after MacArthur’s death, he would ascend to the top coaching job at Michigan, where he would coach for 21 seasons.

It cannot be a coincidence that the remarks for which Schembechler is most famous — indeed some of the most enduring words ever uttered by a football coach — carry eerie echoes of MacArthur. Some 21 years after the West Point speech, Schembechler spoke of “the Team, the Team, the Team.”

MacArthur now is a figure of history, his life remembered by few, his achievements studied by fewer. But this speech, given 50 years ago this week, deserves to be remembered as one of the greatest delivered on these shores, and revered beyond West Point and by more than the Corps, the Corps, the Corps.

Blessed with art Wrong on jobs To the editor: Two exceptional recent performances in Lawrence deserve special mention.

We are so blessed to live in a community where almost daily there are great choices of many artistic events. Last week at the Lied Center the Kansas University Symphony Orchestra, choirs and voice students presented an evening of opera highlights that was spectacular. The concert, directed by David Neely, was repeated the next night at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Mo. The week before, under the direction of Steve Eubank, the Lawrence Civic Choir delivered a fantastic performance of Carl Orff’s rich and powerful “Carmina Burana” at the Lawrence Free Methodist Church.

Both of these evenings will be remembered for a long time.

To the editor: Last Friday’s mediocre jobs report was greeted with barely concealed glee by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

Romney opined that any unemployment rate above 4 percent is “not cause for celebration” and that the economy should be adding 500,000 new jobs per month.

I presume that Mr. Romney was not celebrating at any time during the Reagan, Bush the Elder, or Bush the Younger administrations, since there was not a single year on the watch of those Republican presidents when the annual rate of unemployment averaged 4 percent or below. Further, the “job creation” record during the most recent Republican administration (George W. Bush) averaged essentially ZERO new jobs per month.

So, why exactly should

these Republican stumblebums be entrusted again with the nation’s economic well-being? Their discredited policies seem more likely From the to lead us into still another Lawrence Daily recession than to an accelJournal-World erated recovery.

Cleavinger carries LHS baseball

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Lawrence High baseball coach Brad Stoll probably didn’t have to say anything to senior starting pitcher Garrett Cleavinger before the Lions’ Senior Night game Monday against rival Free State.

The LHS coach did anyway, telling his ace left-handed hurler the city showdown was his stage.

“He kind of looked at me like he was gonna knock me out if I took him out of the game,” Stoll said of the strongarmed Cleavinger.

The Lions’ coach never had to test the southpaw’s patience or punch. Cleavinger surrendered just three hits and struck out nine Firebirds for a 3-1 complete-game victory in his final home appearance at LHS. Cleavinger took it upon himself to deny FSHS any chance of celebrating on Lawrence’s home field.

“It was nine of our guys’ last game here,” Cleavinger said of the Lions’ graduating seniors, “so it’s obviously important to all of us. Me being a pitcher, and being a senior pitcher, you don’t want to come out.

You want to make sure you’re doing everything you can to help your team win.”

Lawrence (11-8) had just enough to back Cleavinger as he dueled the Free State pitching trio of sophomore Ryan Cantrell and juniors Jacob Caldwell and Sam Hearnen, who each threw two innings apiece and combined to yield just three hits.

The rivalry game was tied, 1-1, through 41⁄2 innings. Firebirds starters Cantrell and Caldwell had combined to retire 12 straight LHS batters before Lions sophomore catcher Drew Green delivered an oppositefield single to open the bottom of the fifth against Hearnen.

KU offers to Memphis prep Nichols

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Austin Nichols, a 6-foot-8, 193-pound senior-to-be from Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, has received a scholarship offer from Kansas University, Rivals.com reports.

Nichols, who is ranked No. 40 nationally in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.com, has also received offers from North Carolina, Duke, Florida, Flor-

ida State, Louisville, Memphis, Mississippi, Ohio State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Virginia.

“He runs like (UNC’s) Tyler Zeller did and we get him the ball on the run very often the same way the Tar Heels did with Zeller,” Briarcrest coach John Harrington told tarheelillustrated.com. “His only thing is to get stronger and he is working on it but Austin has never had a problem with getting pushed

around. I can tell you that and we play in Memphis so the competition is tough.

“He is naturally righthanded but writes with his left and he led the city of Memphis in field goal percentage the past two years at 69 percent his sophomore year and 70 percent this past year.

FSHS softball finishes sweep

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Monday afternoon at Lawrence High, the LHS and Free State High softball teams stumbled into as many errors as hits, Free State’s ability to capitalize on the miscues led the Firebirds to a 3-0 victory and a season sweep of the Lions.

“Today was ugly,” Free State coach Lee Ice said. “But we’ll take it. Sometimes you have to win ugly.”

Despite not picking up a hit in the top of the first inning, the Firebirds took a 2-0 lead when A’Liyah Rogers and Remington Samuels each scored after reaching base via a walk and hit-bypitch to open the game. Rogers scored on an error, and Samuels scored on an RBI groundout by FSHS catcher Courtney Parker.

In the bottom of the inning, the Firebirds (11-7) did their best to give those runs right back by committing three errors behind starting pitcher Meredith Morris.

Bounty boss told Saints to ‘play dumb’ NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former Saints defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove describes in a sworn statement how he was told by ex-defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and current New Orleans assistant head coach Joe Vitt to deny the existence of a bounty program to NFL investigators.

In a document obtained Monday by the Associated Press, Hargrove acknowledges that he acted on Williams’ and Vitt’s instructions to “play dumb� if asked whether he was aware of bounties being placed on former Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre or any other player.

The declaration does not go into specifics, however, about just what Hargrove knew or

Hargrove

Williams

did not know about the bounty program in New Orleans, and for that reason it has become a point of contention between the NFL and the NFL Players Association.

From the union’s perspective, Hargrove’s statement does not say that he lied to anyone, nor does it state that he or any other Saints participated in a bounty

program that offered cash bonuses for hits that injured targeted opponents.

The NFL, by contrast, has said that Hargrove’s words acknowledge the existence of a bounty program and show that Hargrove initially lied to NFL investigators about it.

In describing Hargrove’s declaration last week, Mary Jo White, a former U.S. attorney hired by the NFL to review its investigation, said the player, “acknowledges the nature of the program and his participation in it, and, which is really the thrust of the declaration, that he was told to lie about it, and he did when he was asked about it in 2010 by the NFL investigators.�

Hargrove was suspended eight games, Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma for the entire season, Saints defensive end Will Smith for four games and Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita for three games.

Vilma’s attorney, Peter Ginsberg called the NFL’s characterization of Hargrove’s statement “misleading.�

The NFL has said the Saints’ bounty program was run by Williams from 2009 through 2011. Williams has been suspended indefinitely by the league and has apologized for his actions.

COMMENTARY

Goodell walking fine line with bans

30/243 /. 46 TODAY Baseball

By Jim Litke Associated Press Sports Columnist

Roger Goodell better have the goods.

Somewhere in the 50,000 pages of documents related to the Saints bounty program better be some compelling evidence that it was much more organized and way more vicious than anything the NFL had ever seen. Otherwise, the punishment he’s doled out already has exceeded the crime, and the commissioner’s credibility on two of the signature issues of his tenure — player safety and the integrity of the games — will suffer a hit he can barely afford. Because if the players believe Goodell is more interested in burnishing his tough-guy reputation and insulating the league from further liability on safety concerns than he is in genuinely pursuing their best interests, look out. All the pushback from all the previous disciplinary cases combined will seem like a nudge.

Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma filed an appeal Monday over his season-long suspension that repeated several points the players’ union filed in grievances last week; most important, perhaps, that the NFL has failed to present evidence of widespread involvement in a cash-for-hits program designed to injure opposing players, including the allegation that Vilma was one of the ringleaders. Three teammates were also suspended for varying lengths of time: Saints defensive end Will Smith, for four games; DE Anthony Hargrove, now with Green Bay, for eight games; and linebacker Scott Fujita, now with Cleveland, for three games.

Goodell earlier suspended Saints coach Sean Payton for a year, general manager Mickey Loomis for eight games, assistant coach Joe Vitt for six games and former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams — singled out as the architect of the bounty program — was suspended indefinitely.

The club also was fined $500,000 and docked two second-round draft choices this year and next.

In taking those actions, Goodell has argued he was acting to protect the players. But many of his critics noted that the commissioner’s previous public support for an 18-game schedule undermines the very concept. And they worry if all the focus on the so-called illegal hits that result from bounty programs is designed to distract attention from the all-toolegal hits that are essential to the game — and the reason the league is facing dozens of lawsuits involving more than 1,500 former players contending it failed to address the dangers of head trauma for years.

SERENA WILLIAMS RETURNS the ball to Elena Vesnina during the Madrid Open on Monday in Madrid.

MADRID — Serena Williams beat Elena Vesnina 6-3, 6-1 to reach the Madrid Open’s second round, while sister Venus lost 6-4, 6-1 to Angelique Kerber on Monday.

The ninth-seeded Williams had 13 aces and 40 winners against Vesnina, who was struggling with her game on the slippery blue clay court.

Venus Williams’ third tournament since being sidelined by illness is over after being broken six times by the 12th-seeded German. The seventime major champion reached the quarterfinals at Miami and Charleston, S.C., earlier this season.

Fifth-seeded Samantha Stosur rallied to beat Christina McHale 2-6, 6-4, 6-0 to reach the third round, as did French Open champion Li Na after winning 6-3, 6-1 against Silvia Soler-Espinosa.

Defending champion Petra Kvitova beat Marina Erakovic 6-2, 6-3 in her first-round match.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS

Texas A&M A.D. Byrne resigns HOUSTON — Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne, who oversaw the school’s upcoming departure from the Big 12 and everything from national championships to the end of the storied football rivalry with Texas, is retiring.

Byrne will discuss his decision at a news conference this afternoon in College Station, said a school official with knowledge of the decision. The school said only that Byrne would make an announcement “regarding his future,� and the person spoke to the Associated Press late Monday on condition of anonymity because details had not been released.

The 66-year-old Byrne was hired at Texas A&M in December 2002. Texas A&M’s programs largely flourished under Byrne, but he will be remembered primarily for the move from the Big 12 Conference to the Southeastern Conference, effective July 1.

Big East commish steps down STORRS, CONN. — Big East Commissioner John Marinatto, facing pressure from school presidents upset by his handling of the departure of several high-profile programs, resigned Monday after less three years on the job.

Pittsburgh and Syracuse made plans to leave for the Atlantic Coast Conference in September, and West Virginia bolted for the Big 12 the following month. The Big East regrouped by adding Central Florida, Houston, Memphis, SMU and Temple for all sports and Boise State, San Diego State and Navy for football only.

Marinatto told the Associated Press Monday that trying to guide the conference through realignment took a physical and mental toll on him. “I’ve been running a marathon not only for the last eight months but for the last 21⠄2 years,� he said. “As fulfilling as it can be, it is equally draining. All the assets are in place right now (in the Big East). It’s probably time for a commercialized kind of perspective. Clearly the collegiate model is dead.�

BASEBALL

MLB bans Mota for 100 games NEW YORK — San Francisco Giants reliever Guillermo Mota was suspended for 100 games on Monday, becoming just the third major-league player penalized twice for positive drug tests.

The commissioner’s office said the 38-yearold right-hander tested positive for Clenbuterol.

In November 2006, while with the New York Mets, Mota was suspended for the first 50 games of the next season.

Outfielder Manny Ramirez and catcher Eliezer Alfonzo are the only previous players to test positive twice. No player has tested positive a third time, which would result in a lifetime ban.

NBA

Knicks’ Davis out 12 months NEW YORK — Baron Davis has torn the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee, a potentially career-threatening injury for the Knicks’ 33-year-old point guard.

The Knicks said Davis will have surgery this week and is expected to be out a year after an MRI on Monday also revealed a partial tear of the patella tendon.

Davis was hurt Sunday in the Knicks’ 89-87 victory over Miami.

GOLF

‘Lefty’ named to Hall of Fame ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA. — Phil Mickelson has been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame for 42 wins and four majors in a career that is still going.

Mickelson was inducted along with two-time major champion Sandy Lyle of Scotland, writer Dan Jenkins, British player and broadcaster Peter Alliss and LPGA player Hollis Stacy. The induction ceremony Monday night at the World Golf Village brought the Hall of Fame membership to 141.

The school announced that it will hold a news conference today to introduce Muller as the program’s 19th coach.

Muller replaced Tim Jankovich, who left last month after five seasons to join Larry Brown’s staff at SMU.

PRO FOOTBALL

Minn. House OKs Vikes’ stadium ST. PAUL, MINN. — The Minnesota House has approved a plan to build a $975 million stadium for the Vikings, but with a big boost in what the team would pay.

Green’s courtesy runner, Adam Rea, advanced to second when Cleavinger grounded the ball to FSHS third baseman Cameron Pope, whose throw to second for a force was dropped. With two on and no outs, Lawrence senior Trevor Champagne moved the runners over with a sacrifice bunt.

LHS senior Landon Hay squared to bunt when a wild pitch allowed Rea to score, giving Lawrence a 2-1 edge.

After Hay grounded out to Hearnen, sophomore Kieran Severa knocked in Cleavinger with a single to give the Lions a 3-1 lead.

As coach Mike Hill has said before of his Firebirds (8-11), offensive struggles placed enormous pressure on their defense and pitchers to be perfect, which isn’t possible. Hill said even professional baseball players make mistakes.

“The few that we make,” Hill said, “get magnified because of where we are offensively.”

Free State’s only run came in the top of the third. With one out, Cleavinger walked Joel Spain and Montana Samuels back-to-back. Junior Lee McMahon capitalized on the walks with an RBI single to center field that tied the game, 1-1.

Pope said the two-run loss was frustrating.

“We’ve had a lot (of similar games) this year,” the sophomore said. “It’s the same thing over and over.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S ADAM REA (12) SLIDES INTO SECOND BASE as the ball gets past Free State’s Tim Turner and is scooped up by Anthony Miele. LHS beat Free State, 3-1, on Monday at LHS. Samuels said there wasn’t much difference between the two rivals.

“It’s just a matter of executing on offense,” Samuels said. “They (LHS) executed that one inning when they had guys in scoring position, and we didn’t. And that was the difference in the game.”

Hill said the Firebirds have to be better offensively. The coach pointed to the top of the first, when Cleavinger caught Joe Dineen on the move.

The pitcher threw to first baseman Matt Sutliffe, who quickly got the ball to shortstop Troy Willoughby at second for the pick-off tag.

Plus, FSHS had runners on first and third with one out in the third before Cleavinger struck out Anthony Miele and got JD Prochaska to pop out.

“We had a couple opportunities to get something going there,” Hill said, “and we don’t.”

Lawrence jumped to a 1-0 lead in the bottom

of the first. Shane Willoughby doubled to the right-field gap for what proved to be the game’s only extra-base hit. Junior CJ Stuever moved him to third with a groundout, and senior Troy Willoughby drove his younger brother home with a sacrifice fly to center.

Shane said the Lions had hoped for more offense, but three hits did the job.

“We knew Garrett was gonna deal, and he did,” Shane said of Lawrence’s ace. “We got him three runs, and if we get Garrett Cleavinger three runs, we’ll win.”

The Lions and Firebirds square off again in the regular-season finale for both teams at 7 p.m. Thursday at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

Lawrence’s Kenzie Garvin and Marly Carmona each reached base after Free State errors, and LHS appeared to have runners at first and second with no outs. But after a late throw allowed Carmona to reach first base safely, Garvin was called out after rounding the bag and diving back into second base too late. LHS coach Nick Wood immediately charged the field to argue the call, but the secondbase umpire said the tag beat Garvin to the bag.

“That could’ve been a game-changer,” Carmona said.

LHS (5-15) never really threatened after that. Morris (6-4) allowed just two hits — both to Sami Buffalomeat — and struck out two. After seeing her defense commit four errors in the first two innings, Morris benefited from some spectacular defensive plays the rest of the way, particularly from Rogers in right field.

The junior speed demon made two diving grabs and recorded five putouts.

“I’ve just always felt that if there’s an easy out, go get it,” said Rogers, who made a couple of very difficult catches look easy. “I don’t see any reason to let the ball drop.”

Wood said that attitude, on defense and at the plate, propelled Free State to victory.

“We needed to find a way to get as many base runners as we could,” Wood said. “And in the first couple innings, we did that. Unfortunately, we didn’t drive those runners in, and when Free State got their chance, they delivered.”

Neither team recorded a hit until the fourth inning, the first coming off the bat of Morris, who reached on an infield single to the left side.

Even that one was scooped up by sensational LHS shortstop Carmona, who seems to get to ev-

erything, but she was too deep in the hole to make a play.

Morris picked up two of the four Free State hits and an RBI, and Parker’s double in the sixth and Summer Frantz’s single in the seventh — which Carmona fielded behind the bag at third — rounded out Free State’s offensive production.

Both teams left LHS feeling good about their effort Monday, but only won team enjoyed the result.

“It’s kind of disappointing,” Carmona said. “But I feel like we stepped up and played way better than we did against them in the first game (an 8-1 loss at FSHS two weeks ago).”

Said Parker of topping LHS for the second time this season: “It feels great.

I expected us to get more hits, and I knew they had a good chance to come back all game. But I was pleased that our errors didn’t lead to more errors. We pulled it together.”

Added Ice: “We were pretty fortunate today.”

Monday’s game wrapped up the Lions’ regular season. LHS now will await its draw in next week’s postseason.

VERITAS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL JUNIOR MATT MYERS WATCHES HIS DRIVE from the first hole to start off the KCAA state golf tournament. Veritas placed third at the tournament Monday at Eagle Bend.

KCAA STATE GOLF

Penny ends strong ————

Veritas senior places ninth

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

When Elijah Penny started his golfing career at Veritas Christian as a freshman, he frequently shot in the 120s. Before this season, he’d never scored below 100.

That’s why the senior was more than happy with his final tournament Monday, when he carded a 92 — one shot off a career-best —to finish ninth at the Kansas Christian Athletic Association state meet held at Eagle Bend Golf Course.

“It was good for me to know,” Penny said, “my work paid off eventually.”

After shooting a personal-record 91 in his previous tourney, Penny’s 92 tied for the best score on his team.

His round was highlighted by a birdie on the par-5 ninth. He shot 46 on both the front and back nine.

“He’s a consistent guy.

Character-wise, he’s our leader,” Veritas coach Derek Atkinson said.

“Nothing really fazes him.

For him to play well at the end here is really encouraging.”

KCAA STATE Team scores — 1. Christ Prep 323; 2. Sunrise 373; 3. Veritas Christian 404.

Individual results — 1. Joey Johnson, Christ Prep, 75; 2. Garrett Shaffer, Wichita Warriors, 81; 3. Nolan Becerra, Christ Prep, 81; 4. Garrett Routh, Christ Prep, 82; 5.

Logan Routh, Christ Prep, 85; 6. Preston Atherton, Sunrise Christian, 87; 7. Jared Slerpy, Sunrise Christian, 90; 8.

Timothy Finley, Christ Prep, 90; 9. Elijah Penny, Veritas Christian, 92; 10. Matthew Myers, Veritas Christian, 92.

Veritas results — Elijah Penny 92; Matthew Myers 92; Eric Shin 109; Caleb Holland 111; Sawyer Zook 112; Brody Robinson 133.

Veritas’ Matthew Myers also notched a 92, finishing in 10th after the tiebreakers were figured.

“What was disappointing was that I struck the ball really well today,” Myers said. “It just seemed like every shot was a good shot that hopped out of bounds.

Then, I didn’t make a putt all day.”

Like Penny, Myers also had a career-best round in his last tournament with an 81.

Part of the reason for

Free State golf sixth, LHS 12th J-W Staff Reports

finished in 12th place in the 20 team tournament.

Shawnee Mission East won the invitational with a score of 295. Blue Valley West golfer Robey Hughey took first place among individuals with a score of 70.

The Lions will host the Firebirds on Wednesday at the Lawrence High Invitational at Alvamar Golf Course.

The tournament tees off at 8 a.m.

LEAVENWORTH — Free State High’s boys golf team placed sixth as three city golfers finished in the top 20 on Monday at the Leavenworth Invitational.

FSHS golfers Wilson Hack and Lee York both scored 76 and tied for 14th place as the Firebirds accumulated a team score of 313. Lawrence High golfer Brett Van Blaricum led the Lions with a score of 78, good for 19th place.

LHS, with 341 points, Results on page 5B

Myers’ frustration was the fact that, during a practice round Saturday at Eagle Bend, he’d shot an evenpar 36 on the final nine holes.

“To come out here and shoot a 92 is just ridiculous,” Myers said.

Myers teed off with the first group of the day, which boasted the four top-ranked golfers.

“It’s hard when you’re playing with the guy that’s going to win the tournament, and you know that he’s playing with you,” Atkinson said.

“It’s one of those things where you have to play your own game, and I think he’s starting to figure that out — not worry what’s going on around you, but focus in on what your game’s giving you that day.”

First-year player Eric Shin posted Veritas’ thirdbest score, finishing with a 109.

“Every time he’s picked up a club, he’s improved,” Atkinson said.

Veritas finished third in the team scoring with a 404. Christ Prep was first (323), while Sunrise Academy was second (373).

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Will Middlebrooks homered down each of the lines, David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia also went deep, and the Boston Red Sox pounded the Kansas City Royals, 11-5, on Monday night to snap a fivegame losing streak.

WCGBL10 Str Home Away Middlebrooks, called up last week when Kevin — 7-3 W-3 8-8 9-3 Youkilis went on the dis4 4-6 W-1 9-9 5-4 abled list, hit a three-run 61⁄2 3-7 L-3 5-9 8-8 shot in the first inning and 91⁄2 5-5 L-2 2-13 7-6 a two-run homer in the 111⁄2 2-8 L-3 3-9 4-12 eighth, becoming the first player in Red Sox history with at least one extraWCGBL10 Str Home Away base hit in each of his first — 4-6 W-1 8-5 11-5 four major league games.

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

Felix Doubront (2-1) allowed all five Kansas City runs over 61⁄3 innings, giving the Red Sox bullpen a much-needed rest. Boston used up every available arm against the Orioles, forcing left-fielder Darnell McDonald to finish the 9-6 defeat.

The Royals’ Jonathan Sanchez (1-2) was pounded for six runs in threeplus innings, the 11th straight time the former Giants starter failed to last more than five innings.

Doubront left protecting a two-run cushion with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, but Vincente Padilla got Billy Butler to chop into an inning-ending double-play to preserve the lead, and

the Red Sox added four more runs in the eighth to put it away.

Padilla wrapped up the game for the 34-year-old’s sixth career save.

Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine refused to make any roster moves to bolster the bullpen after their marathon at Fenway Park, reasoning that nobody deserved to get sent to the minors.

Doubront wasn’t great, but he gave Valentine enough.

The left-hander got into trouble every inning but the fourth, yet he somehow managed to limit the damage each time. Doubront allowed seven hits and three walks.

Erik Komatsu had two of the Twins’ three hits against Weaver, but the Twins didn’t have much more success against Weaver than they did on Wednesday.

Francisco Liriano (05) gave up four runs on five hits in five innings with three walks and four strikeouts for the Twins.

Stanton’s homer into the Crawford Boxes in left field put Miami up 2-0 in the fourth inning and gives him six home runs and 12 RBIs during his streak. Logan Morrison walked with one out before Stanton went deep.

John Buck extended the lead to 3-0 when he sent the first pitch of the fifth inning into the right field stands. Hanley Ramirez added a solo shot, which bounced off the train tracks above the left center field wall, in the ninth inning to make it 4-0.

It was the first complete game and first shutout for Zambrano since a two-hit shutout against San Francisco on Sept. 25, 2009.

SAN ANTONIO SPURS CENTER TIM DUNCAN HUGS Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap (24) as Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich looks on, right, at the end of Game 4 in the first-round NBA playoff series on Monday in Salt Lake City. The Spurs defeated the Jazz, 87-81, to take the series, 4-0.

Spurs sweep Jazz behind Ginobili’s 17 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Manu Ginobili broke out of his shooting slump with 17 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to an 87-81 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night and a sweep of their first-round Western Conference series.

Ginobili was 0-for-8 from beyond the arc in the first three games. But after Utah pulled within 61-58 with 3:18 left in the third, he hit consecutive three-pointers then added another as the Spurs regained control, taking a 7658 lead early in the fourth.

The Jazz went scoreless for more than 8 minutes during a 15-0 Spurs run. Utah made a furious charge late and was within 83-79 on Al Jefferson’s putback with 49 seconds left.

But Ginobili’s fast-break layup after a steal by Tony Parker sealed it.

Utah’s Big 3 lineup with Derrick Favors at power forward kept the Jazz close, but San Antonio’s bench made the difference, outscoring the Jazz’s reserves 47-10.

It still wasn’t enough to climb out of the crater they dug in the league statistics, but the improvement was evident against the Mavericks.

“We really focused on spacing — not that we’ve never talked about that — and ball movement. Not that we’ve never talked about that, either,” Brooks said. “But a lot of things clicked in that Dallas series.

After taking off Sunday, the Thunder had an optional workout Monday.

OKC hopes best basketball is yet to come in playoffs OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — All season long, cutting down on turnovers was right at the top of coach Scott Brooks’ list of areas where he wanted the Oklahoma City Thunder to improve.

The results are finally starting to come.

The Thunder finished the regular season with the league’s worst numbers in both passing categories, recording the fewest assists while committing the most turnovers. But they’ve been trending in the right direction for about two months now.

In a first-round sweep of defending NBA champion Dallas, Oklahoma City averaged 17.5 assists and only 12.8 turnovers, about three less than its season average.

“I hate to relax and take a deep breath because our guys are aggressive and a lot of times they get very excited about getting into the paint and making plays happen,” Brooks said Monday.

“It feels good that the last series we did a good job of taking care of the basketball.”

Over the past two months, the Thunder have had more turnovers than assists in only four of their 32 games — including the playoffs. Before that, Oklahoma City had more turnovers than assists in 16 of its first 38 games.

After that ragged start, the Thunder reduced its turnover average by one per game — from 17.8 to 16.8 — while producing nearly four more assists, from 15.7 up to 19.5.

| 5B

He hadn’t yet seen starting center Kendrick Perkins, who is considered day-to-day with a strained muscle in his right hip. Brooks said Perkins “probably” would not have played if the Thunder had needed a Game 5 against the Mavericks on Monday night.

Oklahoma City planned to hold a regular practice today to start its preparation for facing either the Los Angeles Lakers or Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference finals.

Dear Annie: My sister-in-law asked me to wipe her PC’s hard drive so she could donate it.

In the process, I discovered an old suicide note she had written. It dates back five years, which was a time when I know she felt overwhelmed caring for a disabled friend. In the note, it says she felt terribly burdened by this unwanted responsibility.

My sister-in-law recently moved back home to take care of her father, who is aging but is otherwise in good health. I’m afraid she may get overwhelmed again. What should I do? — Help for My Brother’s Wife Dear Wife: Any caregiver can feel overwhelmed, and you would not be breaking any confidences to offer assistance and support. Ask whether you could shop for groceries or pick up a prescription. If Dad is healthy enough to be left alone,

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

take your sister-in-law out for coffee and conversation. If not, tell her you’ll sit with Dad for an hour so she can have a break. Talk to her often.

And make sure she has the contact information for resources such as the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.gov) at 1-800677-1116 and the National Family Caregivers Association (nfcacares.org).

Dear Annie: Next month would have been my fourth anniversary had I not moved out of the house I shared with husband, who is 12 years my junior.

Shows hit season’s end A winner emerges on the two-hour finale of “The Voice” (8 p.m., NBC). For a moment, it looked like this series might just overtake “American Idol” as America’s favorite singing competition, but its audience dwindled as the season progressed.

Talent shows are all about finding the next new star — until their finales, when it’s time for well-established stars to crowd the stage. Look out for Justin Bieber, Flo Rida, Lady Antebellum, and Daryl Hall and John Oates. I guess the name Hall & Oates was taken.

“New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox) also ends its first season. The roommate comedy wraps up freshman year with a moving-day episode.

One of the more well-received comedies of the year, “Girl” enchanted critics and viewers with Zooey Deschanel’s sweet, goofy, nerd routine.

The real mystery was how long it could last. Ratings for “Girl” have steadily declined.

It didn’t help that the series seemed to vanish for weeks on end when it was first broadcast.

It also airs against “Dancing With the Stars” and “NCIS: Los Angeles,” two established series. All the same, “Girl” proved that you could make a comedy about young 20-somethings and not dwell entirely on vulgarity (“2 Broke Girls” on CBS) or brittle cruelty (“Don’t Trust the B— in Apt. 23” on ABC). Congratulations to Fox for airing the most humane new network comedy of the year.

Not even a lead-in from the two “NCIS” ratings machines did much to drive viewers to “Unforgettable” (9 p.m., CBS).

This police procedural about a woman blessed (or perhaps cursed) with an amazing memory ends its first season with Carrie thinking she’s found her sister’s killer.

CBS renewed most of its shows some months back. “Unforgettable” was not on the list. That doesn’t mean it has been canceled. But if it does return, look for it to lose its plum spot and migrate to Friday nights, where shows like this are put out to pasture.

Tonight’s other highlights

Retailers set the agenda on “Fashion Star” (7 p.m., NBC).

Brittany makes entirely too much of the prom on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox).

“Frontline” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) repeats “Murdoch’s Scandal,” a look at the unfolding U.K. press scandal.

Raquel gets bad news from her agent on “The L.A. Complex” (8 p.m., CW).

‘‘John” and I have been in a relationship for almost 10 years, and I thought I knew him. The problem started soon after our wedding, when I returned from an outof-state trip and found pictures he had taken of himself — naked, graphic and posing suggestively with photos of other men. John said he was just curious about taking them and denies ever posting the pictures online. I thought we worked through it after many heartfelt discussions, but then six months ago, I caught him surfing gay porn on my computer, as well as watching it on TV. He promised he would go to counseling, and I gave him one last chance, saying I would leave him if he lied to me about it again. In February, I ran a profile of the top five websites that he visits — and they were all porn. I also discovered that he has charged

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, May 8: The quality of your communication defines how content you will be this year. You alternate between wanting a lot of closeness and needing some space. If you are single, finding a match that can meet these different needs could be an intense experience. If you are attached, your significant other probably can handle this back and forth.

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) Claim your power, even though it might be more agreeable to indulge the other party. Choose your words with care, as the person in question has been overly serious.

Tonight: Working late.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) A partnership remains a source of pleasure. You could be overwhelmed by everything that comes up. Tonight: Do nothing halfway.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Others will come forward if you back off a bit. Your good vibes seem to communicate your intentions. Tonight: Chat away over dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You plunge into work or a project with the best intentions.

Carefully consider your alternatives, especially involving a family member, an investment or a real-estate matter. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Your imagination plays an instrumental role in various situations. You might not have all the answers, but someone else might have a good suggestion or two. Tonight: Take a much-needed break.

porn to his credit card.

That was the last straw.

I rented a house, and he finally realized that I was serious. But he doesn’t understand why I want out of the relationship.

He says it’s “just porn” and refuses counseling.

Annie, I am a pretty, petite, youthful woman with a great job. I provide John with a comfortable lifestyle, but I refuse to keep enabling him. Should I stay with him even though I will never trust or respect him again? — Suicidal and Angry Dear Angry: Trust and respect are two rather important aspects of a healthy marriage. If counseling does not help you regain those elements, we don’t see a happy future for you. And it sounds as if excessive pornography isn’t your only problem with John. A man who “specializes” in homoerotic porn has other things on his mind: men, for instance. jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can find a lot of excuses if you want to have a slow start to the day. The problem is that you go to extremes far too easily.

Tonight: Let the good times roll.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might have pushed too hard for your own good. It is questionable which way would be the best way to go. Tonight: Meet a friend.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will tend to test your limits, and perhaps be the source of some awkwardness between you and someone else. You’ll wonder what is enough as your mind drifts into contemplation. Tonight: Meet a friend later on.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Clearly someone wants to get a lot closer to you. The decision is yours to make: Do you want to transform this bond and make it stronger? Tonight: It is your treat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel slightly out of sorts early on, but later today you will feel better. Give yourself space, and do only what you must. Tonight: Perk up.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Zero in on possibilities rather than problems. You could see a situation far differently than many other people. Tonight: Make it early.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Many demands could have you juggling between different people. Do not lose your focus, even if a partner is difficult and tests your limits. Tonight: Where the fun is.
