“I sort of hatched this little dream, and we are now about to realize it.”

Renewables quota faces opposition

Climate change believers, deniers could decide fate of 2009 utilities legislation

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

In 2009, supporters of a bill to require an increase in the use of renewable energy said the proposal would make Kansas the “Saudi Arabia” of wind energy.

Four years later, the political wind is blowing toward repealing or changing the law.

Since 2009, wind energy capacity in Kansas has jumped from about 1,000 megawatts to approximately 2,700 megawatts in 2013, with other projects in the planning stages, according to state figures.

LEGISLATURE But conservative legislators, many affiliated with a national group that opposes mandated goals for renewable energy, plan to renew efforts from the 2013 legislative session to repeal the Kansas Renewable Portfolio Standard.

A group effort The new addition will use a glass exterior meant to be “contrasting but complementary” to Marvin, Gaunt said. The Forum’s glass walls have another purpose beyond aesthetics. Two thick panes of glass will trap heat from sunlight during the winter to help warm the building, but will circulate the hot air out of the building during warmer months to help cool it. Inside, the lecture room will seat 120 people for classes and presentations. Connecting Marvin to the Forum will be a commons area that acts as a foyer to the lecture hall.

A long process of design, deconstruction, excavation, state applications and, soon, construction, represents a departure from the typical architecture class, and not only because it gets students’ hands into dirt and building materials, but also because it gets them out of individual work and into a group that will be accountable for a completed building.

When all the work is done, the Studio 804 students will have a lot more than a diploma to remind them of their time in the program. As David Versteeg, a master’s student in the KU architecture program, said, “When I actually sit back and think, ‘Oh, wow, we’re building a building like this here in Lawrence for the School of Architecture’ — that’s really an amazing project.”

Everything in place Meanwhile, Studio 804 was gaining experience and credibility within the university, with three of its recent projects including higher education buildings at KU and Johnson County Community College, Gaunt said.

Once it designed the Marvin addition, Studio 804 began construction on the $2 million project earlier this fall. It began by demolishing the builder’s yard and prepping the excavation site for the foundation. After a delay while the team waited for state permits on construction applications, everything is in now place to start laying the foundation next week, said Dan Rockhill, a KU distinguished professor of architecture and instructor for the Studio 804 class. Once the foundation is laid, the team “really hopes to hit our stride in January” and start getting the physical building up, Rockill said.

In your typical construction project, the foundation would have gone in well before now. “Usually you just blow and go” to beat the weather, Rockhill said.

But before excavating the foundation area, the Studio 804 team had to sift around with shovels looking for random infrastructural remnants: live pipes, broken pipes, electrical wires,

SUNDAY CROSSWORD SOLUTION FOR DEC. 15

Wind CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

ronment and Agriculture Task Force has recommended that states pass the Electricity Freedom Act, which repeals requirements that utilities have renewable energy sources. The act says government mandates to produce renewable energy increase costs to taxpayers while benefitting politically favored industries.

Rep. Dennis Hedke, RWichita, and chairman of the House Energy and Environment Committee, held hearings last session on rolling back the RPS. He is also a member of the ALEC task force. Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, and House Speaker Ray Merrick, RStilwell, both active leaders in ALEC, have also spoken out against the RPS. Hedke, a contract geophysicist in the oil and gas industry, says he does not believe in climate change.

The requirement to build wind energy capacity has increased electric bills, he said. “The people on fixed incomes, I guarantee you they feel it,” he said.

Hedke also said that the giant wind turbines kill birds, including eagles, and that the energy necessary to build wind turbines and solar panels offsets the reduction in carbon emissions.

“Believing you are going to reduce the carbon imprint by using solar or wind is a losing argument,” he said. “There is no net reductions in emissions.”

Rieber said studies cited by Hedke have all been refuted.

“He is so convinced that there is no such thing as climate change, he wants to prevent, by legislation, any action to address it,” Rieber said.

The mandate required major utility companies to have the capacity to generate 10 percent of their energy through a renewable source by 2011. It also called for the companies to generate 15 percent of their energy through a renewable source by 2016 and 20 percent by 2020.

State Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, said the RPS has been a success, boosting the development of wind farms, wind industry businesses and transmission lines by establishing a market for wind energy. Sloan, chairman of the House Vision 2020 Committee, serves on several national energy panels.

“The potential is good for further development of our state’s wind and solar resources as those transmission lines come on-line,” he said. Repeal of the RPS “would send a signal to investors that Kansas is not a good place to invest in meeting the nation’s need and desire for renewable energy,” he said.

Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, cut the carbon dioxide emissions from power plants that produce the greenhouse gases that most scientists say causes climate change.

Rabbi Moti Rieber, director of Interfaith Power and Light and rabbi at the Lawrence Community Jewish Congregation, said, “There is a moral imperative to address global climate change.” Rieber’s group includes religious leaders who push for energy conservation, efficiency and renewable enRPS part of coal deal ergy.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD Power Corp. to build an 895-megawatt, coal-fired plant in western Kansas.

Sunflower got its permit from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, but that plant has not been built, and its future is in doubt.

In October, the Kansas Supreme Court overturned the project’s permit, ruling that KDHE failed to apply federal regulations on pollution emissions that had become effective several months before the permit had been issued. In a separate lawsuit, a federal judge ruled that the plant couldn’t be built without a thorough environmental review.

Hedke acknowledged that some legislators’ anger over EPA’s rules and court actions blocking the Sunflower project is part of the move to repeal RPS. But Sloan said legislators need to maintain a long-term view on energy policy.

“Dependence on one or two forms of generation is shortsighted,” he said.

In 2009, Westar Energy, the state’s largest electric utility, produced 300 megawatts of wind energy, about 6 percent of its peak load.

Since then, Westar has increased that to approximately 660 megawatts and that will go to 860 megawatts when a wind farm is completed in Oklahoma in the next two years.

That would put Westar over the 15 percent goal in 2016. In addition, Kansas’ other major electric utilities, including Kansas City Power & Light, Sunflower Electric Power Corp., Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Empire District Co. and Midwest Energy are on track to meet their goals, according to a 2013 Kansas Corporation Commission report.

And wind energy faces another political battle.

In addition to the fight over renewable energy in the Statehouse, the federal wind production tax credit is set to expire at the end of the year, although any project that has broken ground by the end of 2013 would remain eligible for the break.

departures among his top leadership.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that almost half of Brownback’s 11 permanent Cabinet secretary appointments will turn over in the first three years of his tenure. The percentage outpaces that of predecessors Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, and Bill Graves, a Republican.

Many other high-level appointed posts that pay around $100,000 a year also have been vacated.

Those positions include Securities Commissioner Aaron Jack, information technology chief Jim Mann and Kansas Corporation Commission chairman Mark Sievers.

Brownback spokeswoman Sara Belfry said the turnover isn’t unusual compared to past governors, including Joan Finney. And Washburn University political science professor Bob Beatty said he saw little linking the departures.

Officers with the Lawrence Police Department are investigating an armed robbery, according to a LPD news release.

Police were dispatched to La Tiendita, a grocery store at 3022 Iowa St., at 8 p.m. Saturday, according to the news release. The store clerk told the officers that a man entered with a handgun and demanded money. The clerk complied with the demands, and then the suspect fled the store.

The suspect is a Hispanic male, approximately 5-foot-8 and 150 pounds, according to the news release. He was seen wearing a black beanie, a black hooded sweatshirt and a jean jacket. The clerk told police the suspect spoke only in Spanish during the robbery.

Anyone with information regarding the suspect or the robbery is asked to call the Lawrence Police Department at 785-832-7509 or CrimeStoppers at 785-843-TIPS (8477).

SANTA SPLASHES DOWN

Club launches holiday outreach

By Nicole Wentling nwentling@ljworld.com

About 100 people filled the main dining room at Alvamar Country Club on Sunday afternoon for Christmas at Crossgate, a first-time outreach event.

The club at 1800 Crossgate Drive partnered with several local foundations, including Family Promise, Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, Penn House and the Lawrence Community Shelter, to invite low-income families to the event, which included a brunch buffet and a visit from Santa Claus.

“We thought we’d work with some organizations to get some families here who are maybe having a difficult time financially,” said Bryan Minnis, director of sales at Alvamar. “We have the opportunity to make Christmas a little better for them.”

Near the end of brunch, the dining room quieted as sleigh bells rang. When Santa appeared on the balcony overlooking the room, kids exclaimed with excitement.

Minnis then called up children one at a time to sit on Santa’s lap, and each of them received a wrapped gift. Alvamar members provided funds for the gifts, which included everything from Legos and dolls to gift cards for the older kids.

“We want to do this every year,” Minnis said.

“We’ve done other things like clothing drives and food drives, but I think this is something we hope will be a long-lasting tradition.”

“Now it’s a question of finding a legal remedy.”

The case invokes a doctrine that requires the government to maintain resources preserved for the public’s use.

Kronk Warner argues that native people are disproportionately affected by climate change while having contributed little to its causes.

In Kansas, the Kickapoo nation, north of Topeka, has been among the hardest hit by climate change, Kronk Warner said. Droughts have led to water shortages, she said.

TEA BAR

By Stephen Montemayor smontemayor@ljworld.com

Mellow music playing on a stereo inside Mana Bar Artisan Teas, 1111 Massachusetts St., greets customers at the two-month-old store, opened in the former location of Curry In A Hurry.

In a location that once promoted in-and-out convenience, the new tenants — former Kansas University classmates Nathan Long and Matthew Rader — now promote a mellow, laid-back experience.

Chief among the products offered are a Polynesian root-based drink called kava, which is purported to provide a relaxing sensation, and a tea-like substance from the coffee family called kratom that Long and Rader say many customers seek out for pain relief.

“We wanted to bring something new to Lawrence,” Rader said. “I wouldn’t necessarily proclaim that we’re out there as health gurus or anything; we just want to offer interesting herbals.”

Although kratom has been the subject of news reports about the potential for misuse and has been put in the same category as legal drugs like bath salts and synthetic marijuana in some cities, local police say the drug is not on their radar.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said the department’s Drug Enforce-

BREWS SOME BUZZ

ment Unit supervisor said “he didn’t know of anything remarkable about it at this time.”

Long and Rader said they didn’t want to glorify the effects of kratom, which typically range from pain relief to euphoria, they said. The product is sold at Mana Bar in its powdery, almost tealike form, a contrast to the colorfully labeled bags of pills the two have seen other companies sell that seem to promote its recreational use.

Mana Bar is stocked with loose-leaf teas ranging from jasmine green and oolongs to a rare fermented Chinese tea called pu-erh, which comes in individually wrapped pellets and brews quickly.

Mana Bar seeks to fill a niche its two owners say was lacking in Lawrence, Rader said.

“We wanted to open a kava bar because there are no kava bars in the Midwest, they’re all on the coast or Hawaii,” Long said. “It’s really an amazing plant and an amazing drink.”

The store is open from 12:30 to 8 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. Long and Rader recently installed large flat-screen televisions and plan to broadcast sporting events. Customers can buy tea leaves in bulk or can have a cup in the store: $3 per cup or $5 per pot.

rab ahold of your drumsticks, Lawrence. There are real signs that Chick-fil-A is seriously considering building a new restaurant here.

A company representative has filed paperwork with the LawrenceDouglas County Planning office inquiring about the zoning of the former Sears site at 2727 Iowa St. The former Sears site, of course, is where Dick’s Sporting Goods plans to open a store. (An update on that in just a moment.)

But plans for the project also include constructing a new building in a corner of the parking lot. The plans I’ve seen call for the restaurant building to be constructed in the southeast corner of the lot, kind of next to the Midas auto repair building that sits on Iowa Street.

clawhorn@ljworld.com

Certainly, I’ve heard rumors that Chick-fil-A was interested in the site, but if I had a dollar for every time I heard a Chick-fil-A rumor, I would have at least seven or eight dollars.

It is important to note that this latest development doesn’t seal a deal that Chick-fil-A is coming to Lawrence, but it is evidence that the company is fairly far along in its evaluation of Lawrence and the former Sears site.

What the company has sought from the planning office is a “zoning certification letter.” We’re deep in the planning weeds here, but basically those letters further clarify what type of uses are legally allowed. Often, the letters are required by

lenders before they will finance a project.

So, I’ll keep my eyes open for any more developments on the deal.

Certainly there have been rumors of other restaurants interested in the site, and I do believe interest in the location has been high. It’s possible that the development group may be in the envious position of having more than one restaurant vying for the location.

The other big question I’ve been getting lately is, “When is Dick’s Sporting Goods going to open?” A source close to the development tells me that June is now a likely opening date for the store.

Indeed, a building permit has been issued and work is underway at the site. The plans I’ve seen show Dick’s occupying about 50,000 square feet in the middle portion of the building. That leaves space for an approximately 30,000-square-foot retailer on the southern end of the building, and about 10,000 square feet of space in the northeast

corner of the building.

There certainly has been speculation that Old Navy may be a target tenant for the smaller space.

But we’ll have to take a wait-and-see approach on that one. I’m told no deal has been reached on the other spaces in the development.

But certainly the site — which was purchased by a group led by veteran Wichita real estate developer Michael Boyd — has some momentum currently. It will be interesting to watch what other national companies have an interest in Lawrence.

set to go into the western half of the old Blockbuster building. An employee at the restaurant’s corporate office confirmed the company has signed a lease for the space, but a timeline for the restaurant’s opening wasn’t immediately available.

According to its website, Hog Wild has locations in Wichita, Hutchinson, Salina and El Dorado.

And it also has the type of traditional barbecue that

you would expect. That includes brisket, pulled pork, hot links, turkey breast, pulled chicken, ribs and ham. It appears the menu also will include giant stuffed potatoes and something called “salad.”

I speak fluent barbecue, but I’m not familiar with this thing called salad.

Meth CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

after the property was raided and neighbors stopped seeing anyone near the house, save for a caretaker who allegedly looks after the animals.

On Thursday afternoon, after the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas unsealed an indictment dated Dec. 4 that linked the home’s most recent residents to a multimillion-dollar meth conspiracy, no one was home but the animals and scores of everyday household and decorative items that were left behind. A window without curtains revealed several large, upturned couches.

Ezequiel Olivas-Yanez, 48, Monica Ortiz, 34, and Benito Olivas-Yanez, 34, each are charged with using the property to produce methamphetamine intended for distribution from May 1 to Aug. 3. Ezequiel Olivas-Yanez is still listed

by Douglas County as the owner of the property, and there’s even record of him having paid $1,270.82 in taxes on Nov. 18.

The three also face charges of conspiracy and possessing more than 50 grams of the drug with intent to distribute it on Aug. 2 alongside Raul Vidal Ramirez-Florez. Ezequiel Olivas-Yanez is also accused of using a cellphone to facilitate a meth deal on Aug. 12.

All three were born in Mexico, and Ezequiel Olivas-Yanez and Monica Ortiz-Soto married on June 19, 2009, in Baldwin City, according to Douglas County District Court records.

They’ve run afoul of the law before.

The three have histories in Wyandotte County, with each having been booked into Wyandotte County Jail several times between 2002 and 2007, mostly on suspicion of DUIs and domestic battery. In 2004, Ezequiel Olivas-Yanez was booked on suspicion of il-

legal gambling.

And in Douglas County, Ezequiel Olivas-Yanez pleaded guilty in 2011 to felony cockfighting violations and was sentenced to probation after a 2009 raid on the property ended with the seizure of more than 100 animals.

It wouldn’t be the last time authorities would visit the home.

Paving the way When the Douglas County Drug Enforcement Unit raided OlivasYanez’s home this summer and seized nearly 25 pounds of methamphetamine — the largest total ever seized in the county — along with several thousand dollars in cash and a 9mm handgun, police identified suspects but did not make immediate arrests.

The decision was made by investigators with an eye toward a larger case: the one now headed toward prosecution in federal court.

According to court documents, at least seven of the 18 indicted are in federal custody, their arrests taking place between Wednesday and Thursday.

The arrest of Eliser Lopez-Arenas in Oakland, Calif., kicked off last week’s activity. So far confirmed by court documents are two arrests in Kansas City, Kan., three in Kansas City, Mo., and another — Manuel Lopez-Deharo — in Bonner Springs on Wednesday.

Lopez-Arenas (“Primo”), Humberto Rascon-Frias (“Tio”), Stephen Eugene Rowlette, Jose Alejandro Ruiz (“Pancho”), Alejandro Santos-Valderama, Manuel Lopez-Deharo and Fidel Carlos Zavala are those so far confirmed in federal custody.

Zavala is one of two men who also face federal gun charges as part of the case. He is accused of possessing a Colt Mark IV .380 caliber handgun in furtherance of drug trafficking crimes in early December 2012.

Each of the 18 indicted

could face penalties of up to life in prison and fines ranging from $250,000 to $10 million.

Filling a niche Olivas-Yanez’s property fit the usual profile of ideal real estate for Mexican cartel affiliates in the United States.

“They want to stay underground and off the radar,” said Erik Smith, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent in the Kansas City area.

When Lawrence police unveiled the meth bust in August, Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman, told reporters that investigators had made a clear connection to Mexican cartels, the latest in a string of connections between the enterprises and the United States.

In February, Chicago named the notorious Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Public Enemy No. 1, the first such distinction handed down by the city since Al Capone in 1930. Guzman helms the Sinaloa cartel, thought to be Mexico’s most powerful organized crime operation. And though the bulk of the damage done

by Mexican cartels has occurred south of the border — conservative estimates put the number killed at 60,000 since 2007 — the U.S. government has offered a $5 million reward for Guzman’s capture and wants him extradited to face trial here if he is ever caught alive.

Smith said that at least four major Mexican cartels have a well-established presence in the Kansas City metro area.

And at least to some degree, he said, “all cartels have a presence here.”

Laws passed in Kansas in 2005 and 2009 put up to 80 percent of the state’s meth labs out of work because they made it harder to buy bulk quantities of key ingredients, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. This created a demand that Mexican cartels positioned themselves to fill, Smith explained.

BRITISH ACTOR PETER O’TOOLE died Saturday. He was 81.

‘Lawrence’ actor Peter O’Toole dies LONDON — Known on the one hand for his starring role in “Lawrence of Arabia,” leading tribesmen in daring attacks across the desert wastes, and on the other for his headlong charges into drunken debauchery, Peter O’Toole was one of the most magnetic, charismatic and fun figures in British acting.

O’Toole, who died Saturday at age 81 at the private Wellington Hospital in London after a long bout of illness, was nominated a record eight times for an Academy Award without taking home a single statue.

He was fearsomely handsome, with burning blue eyes and a penchant for hard living which long outlived his decision to give up alcohol. Broadcaster Michael Parkinson told Sky News television it was hard to be too sad about his passing.

“Peter didn’t leave much of life unlived, did he?” he said.

A reformed — but

unrepentant — hell-raiser, O’Toole long suffered from ill health. Always thin, he had grown wraithlike in later years, his famously handsome face eroded by years of outrageous drinking.

Mandela buried in childhood village QUNU, SOUTH AFRICA — His flag-draped casket resting on a carpet of animal skins, Nelson Mandela was laid to rest Sunday in the green, rolling hills of the eastern hamlet where he began his extraordinary journey — one that led him from prison to the presidency, a global symbol of endurance and reconciliation in the fight against South Africa’s racist rule.

Artillery boomed and military aircraft roared through a cloud-studded sky, as the simple and the celebrated gathered to pay their final respects in Mandela’s native village of Qunu at a state funeral that blended ancient tribal rituals with a display of the might of the new, integrated South Africa.

“Yours was truly a long walk to freedom and now you have achieved the ultimate freedom in the bosom of your maker,” Brig.

Gen. Monwabisi Jamangile, chaplain-general of the South African military, said as Mandela’s casket was lowered into the ground at the family gravesite. “Rest in peace.”

The burial ended a 10-day mourning period that began with Mandela’s death on Dec. 5 at 95, and included a Johannesburg memorial attended by nearly 100 world leaders and three days during which tens of thousands of South Africans of all races and backgrounds filed past Mandela’s casket in the capital, Pretoria.

Poll: Majority fault ‘Obamacare’ rollout WASHINGTON — Americans who already have health insurance are blaming President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul for their rising premiums and deductibles, and overall 3 in 4 say the rollout of coverage for the uninsured has gone poorly.

An Associated Press-GfK poll finds that health care remains politically charged going into next year’s congressional elections.

Keeping the refurbished HealthCare.gov website running smoothly is just one of Obama’s challenges,

maybe not the biggest.

The poll found a striking level of unease about the law among people who have health insurance and aren’t looking for any more government help. Those are the 85 percent of Americans who the White House says don’t have to be worried about the president’s historic push to expand coverage for the uninsured.

In the survey, nearly half of those with job-based or other private coverage say their policies will be changing next year — mostly for the worse.

Nearly 4 in 5 (77 percent) blame the changes on the Affordable Care Act, even though the trend toward leaner coverage predates the law’s passage.

Sixty-nine percent say their premiums will be going up, while 59 percent say annual deductibles or copayments are increasing.

Keep budget debate in ‘family,’ Ryan says

Wisconsin Republican says such discussions should be kept “within the family.”

Ryan says he and House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio were frustrated that the groups voiced opposition to the budget agreement before it had been reached.

The 2012 GOP vice presidential candidate says he shares the same goals as the groups — trying to balance the budget and pay off debts without raising taxes. But Ryan says they sometimes differ on tactics.

Ryan says the compromise agreement is an important first step.

Colo. governor visits shooting victim CENTENNIAL, COLO. — Colorado’s governor asked the nation Sunday for prayers for the 17-yearold girl who was critically wounded by a classmate at her suburban Denver

high school.

Gov. John Hickenlooper also credited security procedures adopted after the 1999 massacre at nearby Columbine High School for helping put a quick end to the Arapahoe High School shooting by Karl Pierson, an 18-year-old student who shot Claire Davis at pointblank range before killing himself.

“We all have to keep Claire in our thoughts and prayers,” he told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Davis is hospitalized at Littleton Adventist Hospital.

Hickenlooper told The Associated Press that Davis’ parents “are remarkable people. I feel so directly their suffering. ... They raised this beautiful young woman who had her whole life ahead of her.”

About 500 classmates held a candlelight vigil Saturday for Davis, who was sitting with a friend near the school library when she was shot in the head.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Paul Ryan says he was frustrated with conservative groups that protested the bipartisan budget deal he helped engineer.

The House Budget Committee chairman tells NBC’s “Meet the Press” that these groups are “very important elements” of the conservative movement. But the

Valid standards A new report validates the wisdom of stiffer admissions standards for state universities.

A

report released last week by the Kansas Board of Regents provides a significant endorsement for the qualified admissions standards for Kansas students who want to attend one of the state’s six Regents universities.

Prior to 1996, state universities had an open admissions policy that guaranteed admission to any graduate of an accredited Kansas high school. That policy appealed to the state’s populist sensibilities, but it didn’t necessarily benefit state universities or the Kansas students admitted to them.

The qualified admissions standards for Kansas students were, and are, relatively modest. The latest standards, which went into effect for students who entered high school in the fall of 2011, require students to complete a specific pre-college curriculum with a gradepoint average of at least 2.0. In addition, students must meet one of the following criteria: an ACT composite score of at least 21, a combined SAT score of 980 in math and critical reading OR a ranking in the top third of their high school graduating class.

To provide flexibility for university admissions officials, the schools are allowed to have up to 10 percent of their freshman class admitted without meeting the set admissions standards.

Although there is good reason to allow some special exceptions to any rule, last week’s report clearly shows that students who haven’t met the qualified admissions standards have a far lower probability of success at state universities.

From 2010 through 2012, 50.6 to 57.1 percent of freshmen admitted as exceptions were still in school as sophomores.

For students who met the qualified admissions standards that retention rate was 80 percent. Students admitted as exceptions also were far less likely to graduate. System-wide, only 26.4 percent of freshmen admitted as exceptions completed a degree within six years. That rate for freshmen who met the admissions standards was 59.2 percent.

Interestingly, Kansas University led the state in both the freshmen retention and graduation rates. Its retention rate for freshmen admitted as exceptions was 64.9 percent for Kansas residents and 80 percent for non-residents. At KU, 64.9 percent of all freshmen who met the admissions standards graduated within six years.

Legislators ordered state universities to compile these figures because they were concerned about the amount of time and money the schools are spending to provide remedial courses for their students.

The numbers that the Board of Regents came up with should be enlightening.

While it’s unlikely that universities will be able to eliminate remedial classes aimed at filling some academic gaps, qualified admissions standards are having the desired effect of making sure the students they admit are ready — either after high school or perhaps a stint at a community college — to handle university academic work.

Rebalancing power is tricky business DUBAI — Is President Obama an American version of Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader whose well-intentioned reforms led to the demise of his country’s global power? That’s the anxiety a traveler hears these days from worried U.S. allies, and it’s mirrored in a provocative article published recently.

This concern about erosion of American power is powerfully stated in “The End of History Ends” by Walter Russell Mead in The American Interest. Mead warns that Obama’s attempts to disengage from the over-commitments of the George W. Bush presidency have emboldened what he calls the “Central Powers,” Russia, China and Iran. With the U.S. in seeming retreat, these rivals “think they have found a way to challenge and ultimately to change the way global politics work.”

I think Mead is too pessimistic. But there’s no denying that the worries he expresses in the article are widely shared by some of America’s traditional allies.

“Does the administration understand that in this part of the world, its credibility has collapsed?” warns one well-connected Arab who speaks often with the region’s leaders. He quotes an Iraqi official, furious at what he sees as U.S. abandonment, who recently remarked caustically: “I wish I could sue the Obama administration for criminal negligence.”

Partly this scornful tone

If you assume (as I do) that Obama is right to explore a possible deal that reverses Iran’s nuclear program without going to war, the question is how to limit the negative side effects.” reflects the well-publicized unhappiness in Saudi Arabia and other Sunni powers of the Gulf about Obama’s diplomatic opening to Shiite Iran and what’s seen as his feckless policy in Syria. But there’s a deeper anxiety that Obama, in a Gorbachev-like attempt to correct his country’s past mistakes, has begun a process that is undermining America’s global role and making its traditional allies more vulnerable.

If you assume (as I do) that Obama is right to explore a possible deal that reverses Iran’s nuclear program without going to war, the question is how to limit the negative side effects. That requires a kind of strategic communication with friends and foes that, for five years, has been a consistent weakness for the Obama administration.

“Think of the Central Powers as an ‘axis of weevils,’” writes Mead. “At this stage they are looking to hollow out the imposing edifice of American ... power rather than knock it over. ... They have a common interest in weakening the United States in Eurasia and disrupting its alliances; increasingly, with the United States government still largely blind to the challenge, they are pushing ahead.”

One Arab analyst argues that as Obama has sought to rebalance U.S. power, he has adopted “the Ostrich doctrine” — meaning that he has ignored the reversals that have followed U.S. attempts to disentangle itself in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Iraq, where the U.S. spent a trillion dollars and thousands of lives, the government is now effectively an Iranian client; but that hasn’t drawn a U.S. reaction. In Afghanistan, where the U.S. also devoted enormous effort, President Hamid Karzai thumbs his nose at America and gets away with it. Foreign leaders worry that Obama doesn’t see that U.S. power is fading.

The administration would likely respond that what critics perceive as U.S. weakness is actually an attempt to define a different order — one that may be upsetting to status-quo powers such as Saudi Arabia, but will ultimately provide more stability for the region. But how can the president limit the dangers in the transition?

Odd as it may sound, Obama should emulate the Iranians: Even as they negotiate a possible nuclear agreement with the U.S., they are still aggressively pushing their regional agenda through proxies such as Hezbollah. Arab analysts argue that Obama should pursue a similar “dual track” approach, challenging Iran as he is seeking an accommodation.

Military historians note that retreat, even to a more defensible position, is among the most difficult and dangerous of maneuvers. That line is echoed by Mead, who cautions about the risks as Obama tries to reposition the U.S. into an “offshore balancer” rather than a power that fights expeditionary wars.

The problem, he contends, lies in the assumption that “a reasonably benign postAmerican balance of power is latent in the structure of international life and will emerge if we will just get out of the way.”

Returning to Gorbachev, the paradox is that although he was right in trying to change an outmoded, overburdened system, he didn’t foresee the consequences.

He thought he could pull on a few stray threads without unraveling the sweater. The analogy is unfair, in that Soviet power was malign, whereas American hegemony has generally been positive. But a common theme is that repositioning a superpower is a tricky business.

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 16, 1913: YEARS “Dr. Sillard, an AGO ‘anatomical anomIN 1913 aly,’ gave an interesting demonstration before the medic students of the University this morning in the chemistry lecture room. Dr. Sillard, who has unusual plastic tissues, threw several of the joints of his body out of place for the benefit of the students. He threw his shoulder blade out, his elbow, both hips in four different ways, and both ankle joints.

Dr. Sillard has traveled over the United States and England giving demonstrations of this kind.”

Opportunity offsets income inequality In a Dec. 4 speech, President Obama declared income “inequality” to be “the defining challenge of our time.”

It is time for me to come clean; to own up to a dark secret I have been hiding most of my life. It is embarrassing to admit it, but I suffer from income inequality.

Yes, there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people who make more money than I do and it has affected my life in ways too numerous to recount.

Starting with my first summer job as a bellhop and kitchen worker at a hotel in Maine when I was 14, I kept records of the amount of money I earned. The ledger records that on a really good day I made as much as $8 in tips. The hotel owner paid me a salary of $20 a week, but included a small room in the basement and all the food I could eat. He made more money than I did.

In the early ‘60s, as a copyboy at NBC News in Washington, my take-home pay was less than $100 a week.

Everyone else, including, I suspect, the janitor, made more than I did.

When I finally got on the air as a broadcast journalist, my NBC check stubs were far

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

“

Those who make what I once earned and think they can never earn more are being told a lie.”

less than the withholding on David Brinkley’s paycheck. I still bear the scars from this income “inequality.”

When I was 37, I made $25,000 a year and took public transportation to and from work. Many others, including most of the people I interviewed, made far more money than I did. Some of them had cars and drivers to squire them around Washington.

Was it “fair” that these people were richer than I was? Absolutely, as long as I had the opportunity through education, risk-taking, experience and hard work to eventually make more.

President Obama and

some leaders in the Democratic Party appear to want us to accept a false premise: that if I earn more money than you, I “owe” you some of my money to make things “fair.” This might be true if the amount of money available were fixed, but it is not. The communist philosophy is similar to this way of thinking: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” is the slogan popularized by Karl Marx. In other words, mutually-shared poverty with just enough to barely sustain everyone, not an avenue out of poverty with hope as the mode of transportation, hard work as the fuel and success as the destination.

Income “inequality” is a part of the greed-envy-entitlement philosophy promoted by liberals who want to addict more people to government and entice them to vote for the party that is effectively buying their loyalty.

And now they want to extend the 99-week limit for unemployment benefits, which has the potential to enable those people who are unwilling to look for a job.

Today, we have a tendency to punish the successful and subsidize the unsuc-

cessful. It used to be the reverse, which motivated more people to become, if not a success, then at least self-sustaining. There was a time when Americans would have been ashamed to take, much less ask for, anything from their fellow citizens. If you were ablebodied, asking for help from the government was regarded by a previous generation as moral weakness.

Today, the attitude promoted by the income “inequality” crowd is one of victimization. Poor people are told they are victims because successful people have stolen from them what is rightfully theirs.

Envy, greed and entitlement are not the things that built America, or sustained her through numerous wars and a Great Depression.

The concern should not be how much others make, but how much you can make if you apply yourself and adopt the values embraced by successful people.

Those who make what I once earned and think they can never earn more are being told a lie. Realizing this is the first step to improving one’s income and one’s life.

Kansas has shot, but falls

KANSAS CITY TIGHT END SEAN MCGRATH, TOP, IS UPENDED by Oakland cornerback Brandian Ross during the third quarter of the Chiefs’ 56-31 victory Sunday in Oakland, Calif.

Charles helps Chiefs clinch OAKLAND, CALIF. (AP) — Jamaal Charles turned the Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff clinching party into a gamelong celebration right from the start.

Charles scored the first of his team record-tying five touchdowns on a 49-yard screen pass on the first play from scrimmage, sending the Chiefs to a 56-31 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday that clinched at least a wild-card spot.

“A big part of this team depends on me, Charles said. “Once I’m healthy this offense can go a long way and this Charles team can go a long way.”

Alex Smith threw four of his five TD passes to Charles, going 17-for-20 for 287 yards to make the Chiefs the fourth team ever to make the playoffs a year after losing at least 14 games. Kansas City (11-3) is tied for first place in the AFC West with Denver but needs help to win the division because the Broncos swept the season series.

“Anytime you can be a part of the turnaround, it’s a special feeling,” Smith said.

“These guys have worked hard and deserve a ton of credit. It’s special to be a part of this.”

“Leave it to Mack Brown for his last act at Texas to be as unselfish as that was,” Weis said.

Asked about what Brown’s departure means for the Big 12, Weis, who is heading into his third season in the conference, said he had not thought much about the ramifications.

“I’m more concerned for him,” Weis said. “Regardless of whether he wanted to do it or didn’t want to, at least there was a big weight lifted off his shoulders either Please see WEIS, page 3B

Manziel to Winston: Stay focused NEW YORK (AP) — Famous Jameis has replaced Johnny Football as the face of college football.

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, last year’s winner, finished fifth in the voting and seemed to enjoy a relaxing trip to Manhattan, playing the role of supporting actor to Winston’s leading man.

Manziel was the first freshman to win the Heisman, and it helped turn him into one of the biggest celebrities in sports.

Not all the attention he got after winning the award was good.

Winston is now the second freshman to win the Heisman.

He has a chance to lead the topranked Seminoles to a national championship next month against No. 2 Auburn, though the entire story of his season has included an unsettling chapter.

In many ways, Manziel has been where Winston is headed.

“Life’s going to change,” Manziel said. “This is an extremely big deal.”

Manziel basked in the spotlight after winning the Heisman and decided to live loud and large. His road trips made headlines. His tweets were analyzed. He got tossed from a frat party and overslept a meeting at

“

I feel like he’s done a tremendous job of focusing on his team and on his family and what matters most.”

— 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel on 2013 winner Jameis Winston Manziel

Winston

the Manning Passing Academy.

Real potential trouble came when the NCAA looked into whether he signed autographs for money. He got off with a half-game suspension.

“There’s a lot of scrutiny if you don’t walk a fine line,” he said. “I was a little bit uncharacteristic, a little bit out of the box, and I caught some flak for it. Figured it out a little bit as the year went on and continued to live my life and learn as I went along. It was tough, but I had to do it.”

Manziel’s missteps seem quaint considering the allegations that Winston was facing.

Last month, a year-old sexual assault complaint against him became public, and the Tallahassee Police gave the dormant case to the state attorney’s office for a full investigation.

A female Florida State student claimed Winston raped her. Winston’s lawyer said the

sex was consensual. The state attorney determined there was not enough evidence to charge Winston, announcing that decision four days before Heisman votes were due.

Winston says he felt vindicated, but also acknowledged needing to grow up some.

“One thing that coach (Jimbo) Fisher has always told me, especially through this process: ‘For you to be a man, the kid in you must die,’” Winston said before winning the Heisman on Saturday. “I believe that kid in me has died. I’m always going to have my personality. I’m always going to have my character. But I have to become a man.”

Manziel said he was impressed with the way Winston handled his business on the field while dealing with problems away from it.

“I had to go through controversy and I had to go through some things,” Manziel

said. “To see him at such a young age, to put his head down and to focus on his teammates and where they are and where they’re headed ... I do give him a lot of credit for that with all the scrutiny he’s under. I feel like he’s done a tremendous job of focusing on his team and on his family and what matters most.”

Manziel, a third-year junior, can declare for the NFL draft after this season. What could be his last game will be New Year’s Eve against Duke in the Chickfil-A Bowl. In his Heisman follow-up season, Manziel’s passing stats improved as he stayed in the pocket more often. Both his completion percentage (69.1) and yards per attempts (9.5) went up.

If he does go pro — and it’d be an upset if he didn’t — he’ll again be the center of attention as one of the most scrutinized players in the draft.

The college game will belong to Winston, and Manziel said he should embrace his newfound fame.

“Live it up. Enjoy it,” Manziel said. “Continue to be yourself and don’t let anybody change from that. You’re going to have to adapt to how life is going to be after this.

“Stay focused. Stay true to yourself and continue to be the person that you are.”

Brown leaving UT because staying ‘wasn’t best for the university’

Women’s Basketball Time

AUSTIN, TEXAS — For a decade, Mack Brown and the Texas Longhorns won more games than almost any other program in the country.

It was the inability to meet those lofty expectations over the last four years that pushed Brown to resign after 16 years, ending an era that included the national championship following the 2005 season.

“The standard is really high here,” Brown said Sunday at a campus news conference to explain his decision. “We set a standard at this place. You’d better win all of them.

I understand that. ... The standard is really high here, and I’m proud of being part of setting that standard.”

From 2000-09, Brown’s teams averaged more than 10 wins a season, captured two Big 12 titles, won a national title and played for another. But the program dipped sharply to 5-7 in 2010, Brown’s only losing season, and the Longhorns have lost at least four games for four consecutive years.

Brown said he knew that wasn’t good enough. It was time to find a new coach to guide the Longhorns back among the national elite and heal a fractured fan base that had grown impatient. His final game will be the Dec. 30 Alamo Bowl against Oregon.

Brown was under contract until 2020 with a salary at more than $5 million per year. He will stay on as a special consultant to President Bill Powers, a role that his current contract stipulates would pay him up to $500,000.

Texas rallied with six Page 1B straight wins, then dropped two of its last three games. A chance to win the Big 12 title was lost to Baylor in the finale.

Brown met with Powers and athletic director Steve Patterson on Friday to discuss his future. Brown said both told him he could stay, but after sleeping on it Friday night and talking it over with his wife, he decided it was the right time to resign.

“I felt like I could stay,” Brown said. “I really felt like it wasn’t best for the university to stay.”

Powers said he was not pressured by the school’s board of regents to help push Brown out of the job.

“I was not given any direction at all from any regent,” Powers said. “This is the transition of one of the great football coaches in the country.”

Brown said he hoped he would be remembered for “bringing joy to Texas” and doing it with integrity. Asked if he had any regrets, Brown said the only ones were the death of player Cole Pittman in 2001 and the 1999 accident with the Texas A&M bonfire that killed 12.

The search to replace Brown begins almost immediately, but Powers and Patterson gave few hints as to who may be on a list of potential candidates. Patterson,

Kuchar, English win Shootout NAPLES, FLA. — Matt Kuchar and Harris English set a tournament course record by finishing at 34 under at the Franklin Templeton Shootout on Sunday.

Kuchar and English beat the duo of Retief Goosen and Freddie Jacobson at the Tiburon Golf Resort’s Gold course. The winners shot 25 under in their last 28 holes.

Playing Sunday under a scramble format, they shot a 14-under 58.

Goosen and Jacobson cut their deficit to three shots after three holes before Kuchar and English warmed up. They were 11-under 61 for the day and 27-under for the tournament.

Finishing third were Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter, who had a 13-under 59 and went 26 under overall. Chris DiMarco and Billy Horschel were in fourth at 24 under.

Cinks top Father/Son outing ORLANDO, FLA. — Stewart and Connor Cink won the Father/Son Challenge on Sunday, making two eagles in their final five holes for a three-stroke victory in the scramble event.

Connor Cink, a Clemson freshman who preferred hockey over golf as a teen, put the duo in front with a 30-foot eagle at No. 14.

His father capped the day with a 20-foot eagle putt at No. 18, the last of nine consecutive 3s in a back-nine 27. They finished with an 11-under 61 for 22-under total.

Steve and Sam Elkington and Vijay and Qass Singh tied for second. The Singhs shot 61, and the Elkingtons had a 63.

Garcia cruises at Thailand CHONBURI, THAILAND — Sergio Garcia won for the Thailand Golf Championship on Sunday for his first victory in a year, closing with a 4-under 68 to beat Henrik Stenson by four strokes.

Garcia had a 22-under 266 total at Amata Spring for his fourth career Asian Tour title.

The 33-year-old Spaniard won for the first time since taking the Asian Tour’s Johor Open in Malaysia on Dec. 16, 2012.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Florida QB Murphy transfers GAINESVILLE, FLA. — Another quarterback is leaving Florida after the program’s first losing season since 1979.

Tyler Murphy, who started six games and may have gotten a shot at the job in 2014, announced Sunday he’s leaving to play his senior year elsewhere.

Murphy joins freshman Max Staver as quarterbacks who have left the program after Florida coach Will Muschamp fired offensive coordinator Brent Pease and offensive line coach Tim Davis.

The departures leave the Gators with just two scholarship quarterbacks: injured starter Jeff Driskel and freshman Skyler Mornhinweg. Highly touted recruit Will Grier is expected to enroll in January.

Murphy, who graduated Saturday and can play right away at another school, completed 60.5 percent of his passes for 1,216 yards, with six touchdowns and five interceptions. He also was sacked 22 times.

Army fires coach Ellerson Army has fired coach Rich Ellerson after five seasons at West Point and no victories against Navy.

Army athletic director Boo Corrigan says Ellerson was notified that he would not be retained Sunday night, about 24 hours after the Black Knights (3-9) finished the season with a 34-7 loss to Navy.

Ellerson went 20-41 at the U.S. Military Academy and couldn’t snap the Black Knights’ losing streak against their most important rival. The Midshipmen have won 12 straight in the series.

Courtney Moses started feeling it.

Said Henrickson: “She comes out of the locker room and just blows us up.”

The 5-foot-6 shooter scored 19 of her 21 points in the second half, hitting four of her five three-pointers.

It began, Henrickson said, when KU (5-5) had four players in man defense and another in zone.

“That’s how she gets one,” the coach lamented, “and then she just starts being more aggressive, and she gets loose and was able to elevate over the top of us a little bit.”

The Jayhawks never would have had a chance to beat Purdue if Boyd and Cole didn’t step up. A 5-6 sophomore, Cole didn’t enter the game until near the midway point of the second half. In 11 minutes, she scored nine points, converting four layups.

Cole didn’t play at all in KU’s previous game and logged just two minutes in the game prior to that.

“Obviously, she has struggled here a little bit and not performed very well,” Henrickson said of

way. I’m not looking at the big picture of this, for the Big 12 or for Kansas versus Texas, because, for me, it’s a friend. When somebody’s in one spot for 16 years, that’s almost unheard of in today’s football. It just doesn’t happen.

And then you go through all those years where you win 10 games every year, you win a national championship, you’re always at the top of the conference.

… I don’t know about the Big 12 Conference, but when you have a coach that’s been at a place for that long that not only has won but is such a fine man, that’s a loss for everybody.”

Weis said he had not given much thought to whether his buddy would coach again.

“I don’t know that,” he said. “I didn’t see him not coaching this year. The problem, as I see it, is the guy bled burnt orange.

You never say never, but he doesn’t have to, so I’m sure if he does it would have to the perfect circumstance.”

Mid-year signing day Wednesday marks the first day that mid-year junior-college transfers can sign national letters of intent with their new schools.

Although the Jayhawks have just one juco player (6-foot-5, 335-pound Georgia Military offensive lineman Devon Williams) committed and on pace to graduate this month, it remains likely that KU will sign at least a couple of guys on Wednesday.

Weis has said since last winter that the Jayhawks would not bring in as many junior-college play-

Chiefs

ers in the Class of 2014 as they did in the 2013, but the current class still figures to have a significant juco presence.

Levingston down to two Dontae Levingston, a 6-5, 285-pound offensive tackle from Santa Monica (Calif.) Community College, tweeted on Sunday that he had narrowed his list to Kansas and Texas Tech.

Levingston, an expected mid-year transfer who eliminated Kansas State from his finalists after recent visits to KU and Tech, said he would decide by Wednesday.

game. The Raiders had seven turnovers overall.

The performance drew constant boos from a crowd frustrated over 11 straight seasons without a winning record and raise questions about whether the Raiders are showing enough progress in year two under coach Dennis Allen to convince owner Mark Davis to keep him around for a third season.

“We get paid out there to play, we get paid out there to not let these guys light up the scoreboard the way they did,” cornerback Tracy Porter said.

“They did, in fact, what we didn’t want them to do.

We have no one to blame but ourselves.”

There is no questioning the progress the Chiefs have made in their first year under coach Andy Reid. He took over a team that went 2-14 a year ago in a season troubled by the murdersuicide involving Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, who shot to death the mother of his infant child before turning the gun on himself.

Greene has been on the page the past two games, but his name is written in pencil. Complacency on the part of the player triggers the coach flipping the pencil to use the eraser.

“It’s all about playing hard,” Greene said after the loss to Florida.

“Coach wants energy. He wants somebody who’s tough and plays hard. I’m just trying to learn that and go out there and give him what he wants.”

Greene played a season-high 16 minutes vs. New Mexico and for the second game in a row scored five points. Thirty of his 55 minutes this season have come in the past two games.

Sophomore Andrew White III was sidelined by a hip pointer Saturday, and Greene took advantage of his opportunity.

White has played 81 minutes and made seven of 18 three-pointers.

Conner Frankamp has played 60 minutes and made three of 13.

Greene has made three of 10 threes.

Greene has the biggest and most explosive body of the three and gets good elevation on his jumper.

If Greene can match White’s hustle, the freshman’s higher ceiling could land him more minutes than the sophomore.

Greene’s time on the bench, always the best teacher in any sport, changed the way he has played. If he views those changes as a starting point to improvement and not a destination, he could bring a new dimension to a team that could use better threepoint shooting. The guy’s an exciting talent, and it will be interesting to see how ready he is to understand what the coach wants and deliver it consistently.

CHIEFS LINEBACKER FRANK ZOMBO (51) CELEBRATES with strong safety Eric Berry, left, and cornerback Brandon Flowers after intercepting Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin during the fourth quarter.

The Chiefs won, 56-31, Sunday in Oakland, Calif.

“It’s a feeling that you want everyone to have,” linebacker Derrick Johnson said of making the playoffs. “It’s a great feeling. What we went through last year to be in this situation and have an opportunity to do some big things, clinching the playoffs before the season’s over, it’s great.”

The addition of Smith to a talented roster that featured six Pro Bowl players also helped. Charles was one of those Pro Bowlers a year ago but he never had a game quite like this even

though he only rushed for 20 yards in eight carries.

He did most of his work in the passing game, beating blitzes with screen passes and also having success running patterns downfield. He caught eight passes for 195 yards and four touchdowns in the third-most productive receiving day by a running back since the 1970 merger.

“I didn’t do much,” Smith said. “I mean three screens for touchdowns. I’ve never been a part of anything like that or seen that.”

Giants’ Cruz suffers concussion vs. Seattle The Associated Press

In a lost season for the New York Giants, a concussion kept Victor Cruz from reaching a personal milestone.

The team’s top receiver was injured in the fourth quarter of a 23-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Cruz left two yards short of his third straight 1,000-yard season. He caught two passes for 25 yards before getting hurt.

The Giants (5-9) have two games left. They are stuck with their first losing year since 2004.

Cincinnati punter Kevin Huber left Sunday night’s game after taking a hard hit from Pittsburgh’s Terence Garvin

on a 67-yard kick return for a touchdown by Antonio Brown.

Huber was down on the field for several minutes.

His mouth was bloody as he walked straight to the Bengals’ locker room with a fractured jaw.

Bengals linebacker James Harrison, making his first appearance in Pittsburgh since signing with the Bengals in the offseason, left in the first quarter because of a concussion.

The Cleveland Browns lost star cornerback Joe Haden in the second half with a hip pointer. His absence allowed Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler to pick on rookie cornerback Leon McFadden in the Bears’ 38-31 win.

But time is running out, and Mom has only become more aggressive.

If I resist, there will be huge consequences.

I don’t feel I can take part in such an important religious event if I am not fully committed to it. I even talked to Mom about postponing it for a few years, which would be allowed in our diocese, but she rejected that idea. How can I convince her that she is being unreasonable? — Frustrated Son

Scandals in reality TV are revisited

While he is unlikely to support your decision not to be confirmed, he may be able to convince Mom that waiting is in everyone’s best interest, and she is more apt to listen to him.

Dear Annie: I am a senior citizen with an issue regarding children who use the restroom without being educated or properly trained in etiquette.

I have seen kids standing three feet from the toilet and spraying the seat. Some parents are concerned about germs and tell their kids not to touch the seat, so you can imagine the messes I have witnessed when using a public restroom.

I realize this is a particularly difficult issue for single mothers who can’t go into the men’s room with their sons.

Please address this. — T.S. Dear T.S.: We appreciate your concern, and we hope parents are paying attention. However, we’re fairly certain that most parents already teach their sons how to use the toilet, because they don’t want to clean up a mess at home, either. Public restrooms pose difficulties because opposite-sex parents cannot supervise, and the kids can become either anxious or reckless. But not all accidents are caused by young children. Adults do their ACROSS share, too.

Dear Annie: I am 14 years old and facing a dilemma. My father isn’t particularly religious, but my mother is a strict Catholic, and my older sister and brother have been confirmed. I have another six months before I am expected to go through the process of confirmation. I do not want to do this.

I do not share my mother’s beliefs, although I do believe in God. My father supports my choice, and I’ve tried to explain it to my mother, but she won’t have any of it. She continues to send me to religious classes, which I consider a complete waste of my time, and it results in some very awkward conversations because I find myself hiding my beliefs.

I know her stubbornness has other causes, including pleasing family members who are deeply religious and
