Some Rock Chalk audit documents wrong By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

After a weekend of sorting through more than a thousand concrete delivery tickets, Lawrence City Hall officials have now determined that a portion of the audit for the Rock Chalk Park sports complex was based on inaccurate documents.

City review finds auditor received inaccurate paperwork regarding concrete The city analysis of the delivery tickets also found that the amount of acceptable concrete that was used at the site was about 10 percent less than what design plans originally called for at the project. But city leaders also said they remain confident that the

quality of the roads, sidewalks, parking lots and other pieces of infrastructure at the complex is good and that the city has been billed an appropriate price for the work that was completed. “We believe the community and the university will continue to see benefits from these

improvements for years to come,” said City Manager David Corliss. At their meeting Tuesday evening, city commissioners were briefed on the latest findings by city staff. Commissioners must still deal with an approximately $1 million worth

of infrastructure payments that are still due to the Kansas University Endowment Association and ultimately Bliss Please see AUDIT, page 8A l City weighs background checks for cab drivers. Page 3A

Coroner: Roberts’ fatal shot fired 3 feet away By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

At the first day of testimony in Archie Robinson’s first-degree murder jury trial Tuesday, Douglas County Deputy Coroner Altaf Hossain testified that the fatal shot that killed 39-yearold Patrick Roberts, of Law-

rence, last year was fired less than 3 feet away from the victim. Robinson, 30, is charged with first-degree murder during the commission of an inherently dangerous felony and aggravated burglary in connection with Roberts’ shooting death. Prosecutors allege that Robinson kicked in the door to Roberts’

home with co-defendant Dustin Walker, tried to steal money or marijuana from Roberts and shot him when he didn’t comply. On Tuesday, Roberts’ son, brother and mother testified that two men forcefully entered their home around 3 a.m. March 8, Please see ROBERTS, page 8A

Topeka — A bill that calls for sweeping changes in the way Kansas funds its public schools is headed to the floor of the House, barely four days after the bill was first introduced to the public. A voice vote Tuesday in the House Appropriations Committee sent the bill to the full house. Republican leaders in the House said they hope to have a vote on the bill before the end of the week. And in a maneuver designed to speed the process even LEGISLATURE more, the House Appropriations Committee put the contents of the bill into a Senate bill — a maneuver known as a “gut-and-go” — allowing the possibility that the Senate may only vote up or down on the House proposal without a full floor debate in the upper chamber. “I think there’s a time you have to clean the state and begin over again,” said Rep.

KU research has biggest 4 years ever, but prognosis not good By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas University on Tuesday reported good news and bad news about research funding. In the past four years, externally sponsored research

expenditures at all KU campuses totaled more than $1 billion, the strongest four-year span ever for the school. However, in the face of the continuing federal budget sequester — and a decade of declining purchasing power for federally funded re-

Climate request gets ‘no’ from Kochs

Here for the Future H

EDITORS

Washington (ap) — The industrial conglomerate run by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch is refusing to provide Democratic lawmakers with information on whether it has paid for climate change research. Last month, three Democratic senators sent 100 letters to an assortment of fossil fuel companies and organizations seeking information on whether they have backed research into global warming and other environmental topics. Koch Industries Inc., which includes refining, chemical and pipeline companies, was among the recipients. But in a Thursday letter obtained by The Associated Press, Mark V. Holden, Koch’s general counsel, wrote that such information treads on First Amendment rights, which allow Koch to participate in debate of public policy issues. The brothers have donated heavily to conservative causes and candidates while criticizing efforts to combat global warming.

City considering background checks for taxi drivers By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Taxi cab drivers in Lawrence may soon have to pass a criminal background check before they can operate in Lawrence. A majority of city commissioners expressed interest in adding the background check to a new city ordinance that will govern taxi cab operators. “We’re here to help promote the safety of the public, but there is no assurance that the person driving a cab hasn’t had a

DUI,” said City Commissioner Terry Riordan. The new ordinance would allow the city to deny a taxi cab license to any person who has any of the following convictions within the past five years: a felony; crime of dishonesty; crime against a person; driving under the influence; or driving with a suspended license. Anyone who has an outstanding warrant also would be denied a license. City commissioners stopped short of approving the ordinance at their

companies in Lawrence, asked the city to consider provisions that would require cab companies to be of a certain size before they could receive a city license. The company recommended cab companies have at least

two vehicles in operation. The company also asked that cab companies be required to have a commercial place of business and operate a certain number of hours per week. “This is not to stifle competition,” said Tim

52% of customers this year new to health care marketplace By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

New customers accounted for more than half of the Kansans who enrolled in health care coverage using the Affordable Care Act’s online health insurance marketplace this year, following national trends. According to a report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there were just over 50,000 new customers, about 52 percent, in Kansas who purchased coverage dur-

ing the three-month open enrollment period — and an additional weeklong period for those who experienced website problems. The state produced a total of over 96,000 customers over that time. A second special enrollment period, for those who were unaware of the financial penalty levied against those without health insurance, will run from March 15 to April 30. Of the remaining Kansas consumers this year, about 23,400 Kansans manually re-enrolled in

taxes in the wake of revenue shortfalls created by massive income tax cuts enacted last year, the president of the Kansas Farm Bureau said Tuesday. Rich Felts, who took over as president of the state’s largest farm organization in December, said he worries that property taxes may take the brunt of hikes in the waning days of the legislative session as lawmakers struggle to close the budget hole.

Schmidt files casino lawsuit Topeka (ap) — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has filed a federal lawsuit to prevent the Quapaw Tribe in northeast Oklahoma from expanding a casino there across the state line. Schmidt’s lawsuit comes as Kansas officials review three proposals for a stateowned casino in southeast Kansas, one of which would compete head-on with the tribe’s Downstream Casino Resort. The tribal casino’s opening in 2008 stymied development of a casino in Kansas. The lawsuit, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Topeka, challenges a decision by the National Indian Gaming Commission last year to authorize casino games on 124 acres

in Cherokee County in southeast Kansas. The site is adjacent to the Downstream casino site in Oklahoma and was purchased by the tribe in 2006 for a parking lot. The federal government put the Kansas land in trust for the tribe in 2012, and the commission in November declared that the site could be treated as reservation land and used for casino gambling under federal law. The tribe is planning a $15 million addition offering table games, such as roulette, not allowed in Oklahoma. Schmidt’s lawsuit argues that the commission acted arbitrarily and exceeded its legal authority. Schmidt also contends federal law gives Kansas

Gov. Sam Brownback a veto over the tribe’s expansion plans. The Kansas attorney general also contends the tribe told the U.S. government that the land would be used only for a parking lot. Both Brownback and the Cherokee County Commission oppose the expansion. “We believe the tribe should be held to its word that the land would not be used for gaming, and the federal government should follow the law in allowing the state to have its voice heard on how the land will be used,” Schmidt said in a statement Tuesday. A spokeswoman for the tribe did not return a telephone message Tuesday seeking comment.

Wichita is expected to begin printing ballots on March 13 for its April 7 city election and it plans to include a ballot initiative that would reduce first-time marijuana possession penalties to a $50 fine in the city. The city council voted in January to include the measure on the ballot after a successful petition campaign. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt released an opinion Friday that said the ballot measure conflicts with several state laws and therefore “a public vote to adopt it would have no legal force or effect.” Republican Rep. Mark Kahrs, of Wichita, said the opinion means the attorney general could and should take legal action against the city if it prints ballots that include the initiative. Jennifer Rapp, a spokeswoman for the attorney general, declined to comment on what actions Schmidt would take if the ballot is printed or if it passes next month. She said that the opinion Schmidt issued speaks for itself.

KU research initiatives Along with new research spending numbers, KU on Tuesday reported the following “research highlights.” l Creation of Frontiers: The Heartland Institute for Clinical and Translational Research at KU Medical Center, offering faster patient access to the benefits of health research. l Development of a national center in the Life Span Institute to

help schools enact a KU model for improving academic outcomes for general and special education students. l Fulfillment of a National Endowment for the Humanities challenge grant that leveraged $1.3 million in private gifts to promote collaborative faculty research projects in the humanities.

Ferguson, Mo. (ap) — The Ferguson City Council on Tuesday evening unanimously approved a decision to part ways with City Manager John Shaw following a scathing Justice Department report that already has led to a Missouri appeals court judge being tapped to overhaul the local court system. The City Council in the St. Louis suburb, beleaguered by unrest since a white police officer fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown last summer, held its first public meeting since the U.S. Department of Justice last week accused its police force and municipal court system of racial bias.

A news release from the city said the Council had reached a “mutual separation agreement” with Shaw, 39, effective immediately. “I believe that the city of Ferguson has the resolve to overcome the challenges it faces in the coming months and emerge as a stronger community for it,” Shaw said in a statement included in the release. The Justice Department investigation already has resulted in a shake-up: Racist emails included in the report led to the firing of the city clerk and resignation of two police officers last week.

“Other universities are experiencing the same pressures we are,” Mary Lee Hummert, KU interim vice chancellor for research, said in a news release. “KU’s strong focus at both campuses on human health and development attracts support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Department of Education. About half our research funding comes from those agencies, so flat or falling levels of support hit KU especially hard.” The success rate for NIH proposals now ranges from about 1 in 10 to about 1 in 4, depending on the institute, Hummert said. That has KU looking

more to other funding sources. Richard Barohn, vice chancellor for research at KU Medical Center, said that even with the decline in NIH dollars, new opportunities are arising for healthrelated research funding.

“For example, we’ve had success obtaining funding in the past year from the nonprofit Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute,” Barohn said in a news release. “So while some resources are diminishing, others are opening

Schools

But it also reduces some of the so-called “equalization” aid that less wealthy districts get to subsidize their local option budgets, used for general operating expenses, and their capital outlay budgets that are used for big-ticket purchases such as new furniture, equipment or building repairs. The bill was authored primarily by Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Overland Park, and Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Augusta, who chair the House and Senate budget committees. During a news conference Monday, they said passage of the bill is key to putting together the rest of the state budget, as well as any tax bill that may be necessary to fund next year’s budget. “When this bill is passed, we’ll be able to plug a number into that number-one expenditure that we have, and we’ll have certainty there,” Ryckman said. “Then we

try to balance the budget at that point. We’re kind of at a standstill between what we do on revenues and what we do on expenditures. This will solidify over half of our expenditures.” Gov. Sam Brownback called for such a plan in his State of the State address in January. But it took GOP leaders until March 5 to introduce a bill, and another day after that for the Kansas State Department of Education to produce numbers showing how each district would be affected. “I’m really very disappointed in the speed of this bill,” said Rep. Jerry Henry, D-Atchison, the ranking minority member on the House panel. “It’s been 20 business hours since this bill was released for notification and to look at.” Democratic leaders said the block grant bill effectively locks each district’s existing funding in place for the next two

years, which means they won’t be able to respond to enrollment growth or changes in demographics such as rising poverty rates. “If you’re a small district, repealing the current formula ends lowenrollment weighting, which was a guarantee that you could adequately fund your schools,” said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka. “If you’re a school district that has high numbers of at-risk and bilingual students, you won’t be able to keep up with the rising numbers of these students and the increasing costs associated with them.” The House panel made several changes to the original bill. Among them was an amendment by Rep. Amanda Grosserode, R-Lenexa, that would provide more funding for virtual schools like the one operated by the Lawrence school district by reimbursing them for the

cost of providing online education to adults who are still trying to complete requirements for a high school diploma. Another change affecting Lawrence guarantees that so-called “new facilities weighting” — additional money the state provides for the first two years of operating a new school facility — will continue through the end of fiscal year 2017. Lawrence has several new facilities that will come on line over that time that are being funded with the $92.5 million bond issue voters approved in April 2013. GOP leaders were not sure Tuesday whether the bill can get the 63 votes needed to pass on the floor of the House, especially after a vote earlier this month when 67 House members overrode the leadership on a bill designed to restrict the bargaining power of teachers unions.

Marvin Kleeb, R-Overland Park, a supporter of the bill. “Currently the state has a financing formula, or a financing scheme, that mandates and micromanages funds within silos. It does not provide flexibility. This lack of flexibility leaves hundreds of millions of dollars every year unused in contingency funds.” The bill would repeal the school finance system that has been in place since 1992. In its place, for the rest of this year and the next two years, it would provide “block grants” to school districts that combine several different kinds of funding schools currently get into one pot, which is meant to give districts more flexibility over how they spend the money.

up. We have to be flexible and adapt to a changing environment.” KU reports that it currently receives about 85 percent of its research support from the federal government. Hummert said advocacy in Washington was important, too, and that federal partnerships with research universities strengthen the nation’s health and global competitiveness. In the past year the Science Coalition, a national advocacy organization, has recognized both U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran and U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder. Moran received a Champion of Science Award in 2014, and Yoder is featured in a video on the Coalition website. — KU reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

Rep. Jene Vickrey, RLouisburg, said school finance is a different issue, and he doesn’t think that 67-vote bloc will hold together. But he conceded that it could be a close vote. “We’re working on it,” Vickrey said. But Rep. Louis Ruiz, D-Kansas City, the assistant minority leader, said the bill faces an uphill battle. “Most of the people I’ve talked with, their school districts don’t like it,” Ruiz said. “Superintendents, some of them may speak for it, but as far as school boards and school district people, they’re not too happy with it.” House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, has not yet said when he plans to put the bill on the calendar for debate. — Peter Hancock can be reached at 785-354-4222.

EDITORIALS

Finance exam State legislators should listen to the concerns of school officials across the state about plans to throw out the current school finance formula.

fter withholding the details of their funding plan for K-12 public schools until halfway through the legislative session, leaders in the Kansas House and Senate now are eager to push this plan into law within days of its introduction. Such quick action on such a complex and important issue is a disservice to Kansas. On behalf of schoolchildren and taxpayers across the state, legislators shouldn’t let this bill slide through without a vigorous examination of its provisions and its impact on Kansas school districts. Identical bills introduced last week in the Kansas Senate and House essentially throw out the existing school finance formula and replace it with “block grants” to each of the state’s 286 school districts. Proponents of the plan say the idea is to use the block grant system for two years while the Legislature revamps the state’s school finance system, but opponents point out that the bill includes no sunset provision so there’s no telling how long it would remain in effect. The main goal of proponents is to reduce funding for K-12 schools to facilitate their efforts to balance the state budget in the face of revenue declines. Although the figures are a little hard to follow, cuts certainly are involved. The Kansas Department of Education says the block grant plan will result in the loss of $51 million for school districts this year and a reduction in K-12 operating funds of $127.4 million next year. By contrast, proponents of the bill, who count contributions to teachers’ retirement and some other expenses as part of the state’s school funding package, claim the actual reduction for next year is only $22.5 million. That’s a pretty big discrepancy. In addition to funding changes, the block grant plan also throws out key provisions of the school finance formula aimed at equalizing education opportunities from wealthy districts to poorer districts. That equalization aid has been of particular interest to the courts that have ordered additional school spending in the state. Providing for public K-12 education is one of the state’s most important responsibilities. Proponents of the block grant plan argue that the current school finance formula has been around since 1992 and deserves to be revisited. That’s probably true, but that doesn’t mean the state should throw out the formula before it has any idea how it will be replaced for the long term. The governor and others also claim the current school finance formula is too complicated and hard to understand. That’s also probably true, but making sure K-12 schools are adequately and fairly funded throughout the state probably isn’t as simple as some legislative leaders are trying to make it.

GOP letter to Iran may pose danger Washington — Even by congressional Republican standards, the naysaying letter to Iran sent Monday by 47 GOP senators was grossly irresponsible. Not only did it undercut President Obama’s ability to negotiate a diplomatic agreement but it also undermined the aspect of the Iran nuclear deal that would potentially be most beneficial to the United States and Israel. From the beginning of the Iran nuclear talks, a key U.S. goal has been to obtain an

These actions may be seen by allies abroad not just as a gesture of contempt for Obama, but also for the broader P5+1 negotiating group that includes Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China.” agreement whose duration is long enough that it will bind Iran’s actions into the next generation of leaders who will follow Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is 75 and ailing. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed the future expiration of the agreement as a key worry during his speech to Congress last week criticizing the deal. The political wrecking ball that is the Republican caucus has, perhaps unwittingly, challenged precisely this goal of a long-term pact by advising the Iranian leadership that the deal being negotiated is merely an “executive agreement” that

could be abandoned if the domestic political winds change. “The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time,” the letter says. To this assertion of the impermanence of an agreement, Khamenei and other hard-liners might well respond with an Iranian version of “Amen.” They could use the Senate GOP letter as a rationale for abandoning aspects of the deal they find too constraining. That would force the United States to consider military action. The casus belli, bizarrely, might begin with an argument made by Senate Republicans. “I think it’s somewhat ironic to see some members of Congress wanting to make common cause with the hardliners in Iran,” Obama told reporters. That was putting it mildly. A blunter assessment came from Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, who said he was “beyond appalled” by what the Senate letter-writers had done.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who doesn’t want hard-liners in Washington or Tehran to upset his deal-making, responded with a civics lesson of his own: “The authors may not fully understand that in international law, governments represent the entirety of their respective states. ... Change of administration does not in any way relieve the next administration from international obligations undertaken by its predecessor in a possible agreement about Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.” Whether such views are binding on Khamenei & Co. is a key issue for the future. This latest GOP tactic of conveying skepticism about the accord directly to Tehran follows House Speaker John Boehner’s invitation to Netanyahu to, in effect, lobby against the deal from the floor of the U.S. Congress. These actions may be seen by allies abroad not just as a gesture of contempt for Obama, but also for the broader P5+1 negotiating group that includes Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China. Liberal bloggers were ar-

guing that the GOP letter violated the Logan Act, named for a Pennsylvania politician’s attempt to meddle in President John Adams’ delicate negotiations with France in 1798. The language of that 216-year-old statute does sound eerily pertinent: “Any citizen ... who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government ... or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.” The Obama administration surely isn’t going to take its GOP critics to court. But this latest act of congressional defiance should make reasonable Republicans wonder whether their party’s foreign policy agitprop has moved beyond being merely partisan to downright dangerous. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Walker lauds new facility Gun responsibility PUBLIC FORUM

Rock Chalk Park and Sports Pavilion Lawrence there have been in the news almost constantly for months. Many in the community have been concerned and confused by the various financial arrangements, payments, audit problems and other seeming irregularities in the construction of the project from its earliest days. Now it appears that even the audit that was intended to put many of these concerns to rest was flawed. Certainly, the way in which this project was undertaken should stand as a model of how such public works ought not to be done. But I don’t want to devote this column to these financial and political issues. Instead I want to say how very much I personally appreciate how useful the facilities are and how friendly and helpful the staff there is. For the past 15 years, since I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes, I have tried to walk at least 30 minutes every morning. When I was first diagnosed and began my exercise regime, I tended to walk outside — usually downtown — whenever the weather was decent. When it was too cold or stormy I walked on campus at Anschutz. But after a few years, this facility was closed to the public, so I had to find somewhere else. For a time, I walked in Allen Fieldhouse, but this, too, was soon impossible. For more than 10 years, therefore, I found myself faced with the choice either of not walking or walking outside no matter what the weather. Since I needed to get exercise and didn’t want to join a health club, the option of not walking didn’t exist. So for more than a decade, I walked outside in the freezing cold, rain, snow, sleet and absurdly high temperatures on some summer days. I acquired a wardrobe worthy of an explorer including double insulated gloves, a variety of rain and sun hats, and multiple jackets and coats, all designed to stave off the elements. There are times I can recall when the temperatures were well below freezing when my walk consisted of a series of segments

measured by the closest coffee shops to provide some warmth. But all that changed when Sports Pavilion Lawrence opened for business. These days, when the weather is not optimal, I go over to the recreation center and use the track to walk. Most days, there are a dozen to several dozen walkers when I arrive no matter the time in the morning. It’s a mixed group with folks my age, older and younger, some with canes, a few with walkers, many with iPhones or iPads, and even a couple of new mothers running and pushing their children in racing strollers. It’s a friendly group and there are always folks who say hello as we walk. Sometimes we chat as well. The friendliest of all are the staff members who always have a smile and a greeting for everyone who enters. One fellow always tells me that I seem to be looking better each day. Even if it’s not true, it makes me feel great. For me, mornings at the recreation center have become a terrific start to each day. So whatever the financial problems have been, it’s important to remember that Sports Pavilion Lawrence is a great facility with great folks working there. I, for one, am very happy that we have it. — Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column in the Journal-World.

To the editor: Carrying a gun comes with responsibility. That’s why Kansas law requires completion of a basic handgun safety training course before issuing a license to carry. Kansas Senate Bill 45 proposes to effectively dismantle Kansas’ concealed-carry licensing system. If the bill passes, the law will freely permit the carrying of guns in public places by people who have never handled a gun before. I support the Second Amendment. I also support basic public safety. Standards such as licensing, criminal background checks and training courses are common sense measures that protect the gun owner, his or her family members and the larger community. “The vast majority of Kansans are law-abiding citizens and should be trusted to keep the peace,” says one senator, and I agree! But what about that small, unstable minority? A gaping loophole in Kansas law allows criminals, abusers and the severely mentally ill to buy guns without a background check, yet this obvious omission is not remedied in the Senate bill. On the contrary, the bill actually takes away a critical law enforcement tool. Upon apprehending an armed suspect, officers would no longer be able to verify whether the carrier has a criminal record with a quick verification of his or her concealed carry license. Would you want to sit in a stadium or concert hall next to an excited, angry, inebriated or seriously mentally ill man or woman carrying a concealed gun for the first time? Eliminating the concealed carry licensing system will move our state in the wrong direction. Rep. John Wilson, D-Lawrence

2014, confronted and shot Roberts, wrestled with Roberts’ brother and fled the home before police could arrive. None of the family members could positively identify Robinson as one of the men inside the home. The family’s testimony was similar to the testimony they gave at Walker’s February jury trial. That trial ended in a partial mistrial with jurors convicting Walker of the aggravated burglary charge but not coming to a unanimous decision on the murder charge. Walker will have a second trial for that charge in May. During Hossain’s testimony Tuesday, jurors viewed an image of Rob-

percent less than the 17,471 cubic yards of concrete called for in plans. City engineers said there were a couple of main reasons for that difference. In a few limited instances, the type of concrete poured did not meet city specifications, and city engineers refused to count that concrete as being properly installed. The largest area was a fire access road near one of the stadiums. A second reason is that in some instances concrete was poured to a depth that was less than what was called for in design plans. As an example, the section of George Williams Way was poured to just more than 9 inches when the design called for 10 inches. City officials said they believe the slightly lesser depths will not have a significant impact on the quality or lifespan of the infrastructure. “We believe the community and the university will continue to see the benefits of these improvements for years to come,” Corliss said. Corliss also said any time city inspectors found work either did not meet the city’s specifications or was poured to a depth less than called for in the design, it deducted a proportional dollar amount from that particular line item in the project’s costs. But the process illuminates how the city’s unique development agreement with KU Endowment and Bliss Sports II works. Although about 10 percent less concrete was used than called for in plans, the city did not end up paying any less for the project. The city — if it approves the final $1 million payment as recommended by the audit — will have paid the maximum $22.5 million that was contemplated when the development agreement was signed.

erts’ abdomen, which was perforated with a single bullet hole on the right side. Around the wound were small red marks, called stipplings, which Hossain said indicated the shot was fired about 2 to 3 feet away from the victim’s body. Hossain said the bullet shot diagonally, front to back, entering through Roberts’ upper right abdomen and exiting through his back left side. Lawrence detective Zachariah Thomas also testified Tuesday to the trajectory of the fatal shot. Using dowel rods, lasers and protractors on a hole in Roberts’ bedroom wall allegedly caused by the bullet, Thomas said he determined the shooter was likely standing in Roberts’ doorway when the gun went off. The placement of the shooter in the doorway correlated with Roberts’

brother Wayne Roberts’ testimony that he had seen a man, determined to be Walker, standing in Patrick Roberts’ doorway pointing a gun shortly after he awakened to a gunshot. Prosecutors allege Robinson was also in the bedroom but not holding the gun. Thomas also said he found evidence of marijuana use in Roberts’ bedroom. Jurors saw photos Tuesday of large amounts of loose marijuana and smoking utensils strewn throughout a disheveled bedroom spotted with bloodstains. The trial will resume today with the second day of testimony. It is expected to last through Friday. Robinson is being held in the Douglas County Jail on a $1 million bond.

Sports II, the private development company that did the no-bid work at the site. Commissioners agreed to discuss approving the final $1 million payment at their March 24 meeting. Commissioners acknowledged an error was made in the documents delivered to the auditor and also said they did not fully understand how the auditor reviewed those documents, but commissioners did not express concern that the entire audit was compromised because of the discrepancy. “But we do need to let it be known that we screwed up,” City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer said about the documents delivered to the auditor. “I’m deeply sorry to the public for that.” Among the major findings of city staff: l The city-hired auditor — Tennessee-based McDonald & Associates — was given a large number of concrete delivery tickets that had nothing to do with the city infrastructure project. The auditor was given delivery tickets for more than 4,000 cubic yards of concrete that was used for the city’s recreation center or other noninfrastructure related work, and the auditor used a portion of those tickets to evaluate the infrastructure costs for the project. The recreation center project is a separate project from the infrastructure project, although in the same complex, and city officials said no costs between the two projects should be commingled. l Delivery tickets totaling about 11,000 cubic yards of concrete for the infrastructure project also were mistakenly not provided to the auditor, meaning he was

not able to examine those tickets as part of his review. l City officials said they are confident the mix-up in delivery tickets, sometimes called batch tickets, has not impacted what the city owes on the project. The delivery tickets were not used in the process of creating a bill for the project. Instead, city inspectors were on the job site and measured the amount of concrete that was installed and did periodic core samples to test its depth. Those tests and measurements were used to determine how much concrete was installed and thus how much the city should pay. The batch tickets, however, were meant to be a secondary means of verifying that the amount of concrete delivered on the site either matched or exceeded the amount of concrete city inspectors found to be installed. Corliss, however, acknowledged the batch tickets were not used in that manner. City officials only began to look at the tickets in detail last week after questions about the audit were raised. “We have treated these batch tickets like we have for every other project, but we don’t think that process is going to be acceptable moving forward,” Corliss said. The batch tickets were part of what the city-hired audit firm examined when it gave the Rock Chalk Park project a glowing report and determined that the community had gotten a good value for the project. Corliss said city engineers, however, spent much of the weekend and part of Monday reviewing all the batch tickets. After removing the batch tickets related to the recreation center, it was determined that 15,689 cubic yards of concrete was installed in the infrastructure project. That is about 10

Ellis practices, remains questionable By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mickelson’s progress encouraging for Kansas

Kansas University junior forward Perry Ellis, who was given the OK to practice on Tuesday by KU’s team doctors, remains questionable for Thursday’s Big 12 tournament quarterfinal game against Kansas State or TCU. Ellis suffered a right knee sprain in the first half of the KU-West Virginia game on March 3 and sat out Saturday’s loss at Oklahoma. “Perry Ellis has been

cleared to practice as tolerated,” KU coach Bill Self said after Tuesday’s practice. “Perry was evaluatEllis ed today and the doctors feel that he is right on schedule. He did some basketball activity on Monday. He practiced today, but is still on a limited basis. “We’re going to wait until tomorrow (today) to see

how he feels. If he feels better, then he’ll progress and hopefully practice the entire practice tomorrow. It will still be a game-day decision on whether or not he plays, but he is progressing nicely.” KU’s quarterfinal game in the tourney Thursday in KC’s Sprint Center will tip 30 minutes after an 11:30 a.m., contest between West Virginia and Baylor. The official schedule lists starting time at 1:30 p.m., but obviously it will be a bit later than that.

l More honors: KU’s Ellis on Tuesday was named to the United States Basketball Writers Assn.’s 10-player all-District Six team. Others: Ron Baker, Wichita State; Phil Forte, Oklahoma State; Buddy Hield, Oklahoma; Monte Morris, Iowa State; Le’Bryan Nash, OSU; Georges Niang, ISU; Seth Tuttle, Northern Iowa; Fred Van Vleet, WSU; Aaron White, Iowa.

An encouraging development with this gritty Kansas University basketball team bubbles beneath the surface of concerns regarding Perry Ellis’ knee injury and the in-limbo eligibility status of freshman center Cliff Alexander. Hunter Mickelson, who does more good things in the paint than his scrawny appearance and numbers might mislead some to believe, just could be in the midst of changing this basketball team for the better. The biggest number next to Mickelson’s name is 16, as in DNPcoach’s decision. Here’s a guess: That Mickelson number will remain frozen at 16 for the rest of his KU career. Sometimes the best way to notice the defensive impact of a center armed with a knack for blocking shots lies not in watching his man work for points. Sometimes watching opposing guards reveals more. Too often this season, guards have reached the paint and been emboldened to keep going to the hoop, their confidence growing with each successful trip. True, there’s not much upon which to go because until Ellis’ injury and Alexander’s suspension Mickelson didn’t play significant minutes.

Top 25 Men No. 7 Gonzaga 91, BYU 75 Las Vegas — Kyle Wiltjer had 18 points and 10 rebounds, helping Gonzaga shoot its way past Brigham Young Tuesday night for the Zags’ third straight West Coast Conference tournament title. Gonzaga (32-3), the regularseason champion, clinched its 14th WCC tournament by putting on an offensive show in an entertaining rematch of last year’s title game. The nation’s best shooting team during the regular season, the Bulldogs shot 53 percent inside Orleans Arena and made 8 of 12 from 3-point range. Kevin Pangos had 16 points and five assists for Gonzaga. Domantas Sabonis and Gary Bell Jr. added 15 points each. BYU (25-9) tried to match the Zags shot for shot behind Kyle Collinsworth, but never quite caught them after they built a 12-point lead early in the second half. Collinsworth finished with 28 points, eight rebounds and five assists after posting a triple-double in the semifinals. Tyler Haws added 15 points for the Cougars, who have to endure an agonizing wait until Selection Sunday for the second straight season. The Zags have become a staple in the WCC title game, making their 18th straight appearance, the last 15 under coach Mark Few Gonzaga won the regularseason title for the 14th time in 15 years.

Chiefs sign veteran free agent safety Branch Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Chiefs figure to look a whole lot different next season. After agreeing to terms with wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, the Chiefs opened free agency Tuesday by signing veteran safety Tyvon Branch to a one-year contract. Branch helps to fill a void at safety created by Eric Berry’s ongoing

treatment for lymphoma and the potential loss of free agents Kurt Coleman and Ron Parker. The 28-year-old Branch has been solid when he’s healthy, but injuries have kept him from appearing in all but just five games over the past two seasons. Branch broke his leg two years ago, and last year was off to a strong start before a season-ending foot injury.

Branch signed a $26 million, four-year deal with Oakland before the 2012 season, but the seven-year veteran was released last month in a cost-saving move. “We are excited we were able to reach a deal with Tyvon and bring him to Kansas City,” Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said. “He is a physical player who we

would agree that you’re guaranteed sellouts every game (in KC). It’s unbelievable.” KU has won three of the past five titles. “You look at conference tournaments across America, the first-round games, like the Thursday games for us, could be Friday games for somebody else, half the seats will be empty or two thirds of them will be empty. It won’t be like that in our situation,” Self said. “It may hurt a little bit that us and K-State are on the same side (of bracket), but you’ve got Iowa State on the other side and they draw as well as anybody. It’s great, and I don’t think there’s any coach that would disagree with it being great. Fred (Hoiberg, ISU coach) would rather it be in Des Moines and Lon (Kruger, Oklahoma coach) would rather be in Oklahoma City, but this is probably the best place for it I would think.” Thursday’s schedule: Baylor vs. West Virginia, 11:30 a.m.; KU vs. TCU or Kansas State, 1:30 p.m.; Iowa State vs. Texas or Texas Tech, 6 p.m.; Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State, 8 p.m. Friday’s schedule: Baylor/West Virginia winner vs. KU-TCU/KSU winner, 6 p.m.; ISU-Texas/

Texas Tech winner vs. OU-OSU winner, 8 p.m. Saturday’s final: 5 p.m. “I hope it’s a three-day grind,” Self said of KU’s participation in the threeday tourney. “We’ve got good players. We’re relatively deep. We could go win three or we could basically go home sad Thursday. I think there’s about 10 other teams who could say the same thing going into the tournament. It’ll be a great tournament, as competitive as it has ever been. “There’s no clear-cut favorite.. If we play like we’re capable of playing and can make other people play poorly, I like our chances.” Of the tournament, KU sophomore Wayne Selden Jr., said: “I feel it will be high competition. Everybody is going to bring their A-game in that situation. I have a lot of confidence in my team. I feel we have all the tools to do so,” he added of making a run for the title in the Big 12 tourney. l Bragg honored: Future KU forward Carlton Bragg was named honorable mention Naismith Basketball All-America on Tuesday. Bragg, a 6-9 power forward from Villa Angela St. Joseph High in Cleveland, is ranked No. 15 nationally in the recruiting Class of 2015 by Rivals.com.

assistant coach Kermit Aldridge died of cancer. “The main message was really just not to overlook any teams,” junior guard Anthony Harvey said. “Even though we’re the two-seed, there’s still good teams out there, especially Wichita South. Remember what got us here, remember coach Aldridge and (Sunday) was a year ago that he died. We just got together, ate some pizza, smiled and just remembered why we’re here — the big purpose what we’re doing this for.” The seventh-seeded Titans (15-7) are led by coach Chuck Gunter’s son, junior guard Dawson Gunter, who averages a teamhigh 13 points per game. They also have 6-foot-6 senior forward Daran Lee, who averaged more than 10 points per game.

The Lions are confident against any team they’re up against and are proud of what they’ve accomplished this year. They went undefeated in the Sunflower League, which has three other teams in the state field, and they’ve won nine straight games. But they’re not ready to close the book on this season without winning three more games. “Anytime you’ve won 21 games and you lost that tight one by a few points and had a chance to win it, you look back at your season and can say you’ve had a good season,” Lewis said. “But we’re definitely not content with where we’re at. We’ve got a goal of making it to that state championship game and seeing if we can walk out with a state championship.”

tried to score from third during the rundown, but was thrown out at the plate for the third out. As if the base-running blunders were not enough, the Jayhawks did themselves no favors defensively either. In the top of the fourth, a throwing error by catcher TJ Martin and a dropped fly ball by McKay helped lead to three more runs for CMU. “I just got crossed up,” said McKay of his fielding error. “It was one of those things where I was still kind of dwelling on the play before, my base-running error at third, and you can’t play baseball like that. I’ve got to leave it in the dugout, grab my glove, head back out there and play good defense.” The Jayhawks scored once in the fifth on a sacrifice fly from McLaughlin and again in the sixth on an RBI groundout from Michael Tinsley,

but that wound up to be it for Kansas offensively. The Chippewas added three insurance runs in the top of the ninth with RBI singles from Zach Fields, Logan Regnier and Cody Leichman. The one bright spot for Kansas came from junior reliever Sam Gilbert, who tossed three scoreless innings, which included him retiring seven straight. “I felt like I did a really good job early of attacking hitters early in counts with fastballs, which allowed me to get hitters with my off-speed stuff,” Gilbert said.

Northern Iowa’s Ben Jacobson coach of the year. l Home in KC: The Big 12 tournament opens with two games tonight. Kansas State will meet TCU at 6 p.m., with TexasTexas Tech to follow 30 minutes after the conclusion of that contest. This marks the sixth consecutive year the event will be held in KC’s Sprint Center. The 2016 tourney also is slated to be held in KC. “Oh yes, the Big 12 tournament should stay in Kansas City,” KU’s Self said. “You can make a case for moving the football around, but I don’t know if the football will move from the Dallas area because you’ve got the Oklahoma schools that are probably happy with that and the Texas schools that are happy with that, but the basketball, I don’t see how you can make a play where it’s a better situation than what we have here, and that’s not because we’re 50 minutes from there. It’s because it’s the best. “I thought Oklahoma City did a nice job when it was down there a couple times (2009, 2007), but I think all coaches

game to Wichita Southeast, 88-67. “I look back at that quite a bit,” Lewis said. “It was a great learning experience for me on just how far a team can go when they can really get on a roll in a two-week time period. A lot of this is about momentum and playing well at the right time. I feel like we’re playing good basketball, and we’ve been playing well over the past couple of weeks.” Following their substate title on Friday, the Lions met Sunday for a shootaround before going to Morningstar’s NY Pizza to spend time together on the one-year mark that

said. “In professional baseball, college baseball, you make sure the catch is made before you run and if they throw you out at home, you tip your cap to the guy. The last thing you can do is leave early.” After the Chippewas (11-5) scored twice to break the scoreless tie in the top of the third, the Jayhawks made another mistake on the base paths in the home half of the inning. Freshman Matt McLaughlin hit a two-out single to center that was going to put runners on the corners with Colby Wright, the team’s top hitter, coming up. But McLaughlin did not see that the throw home was cut off, and he got caught in a pickle between first and second. TJ Martin

feel can help our defense. We’re looking forward to having him.” Branch is considered a good run-stuffing safety, making 461 tackles and eight sacks over the course of his career. The Chiefs struggled mightily against the run last season. That run defense should be improved by the return of defensive

tackle Mike DeVito, who agreed to restructure his contract to remain in Kansas City. DeVito missed nearly all of last season after sustaining a torn Achilles tendon in the opener against Tennessee. The Chiefs also have reached an agreement with linebacker Tamba Hali to restructure his contract. Hali has spent

his entire nine-year career with Kansas City. Even after the restructurings, the Chiefs are still hard up against the salary cap. One way they could save a considerable amount of money is by redoing wide receiver Dwayne Bowe’s contract or by releasing him entirely. Bowe is scheduled to count $14 million against the cap.

IN THIS OCTOBER 2014 FILE PHOTO, KANSAS CITY ROYALS STARTING PITCHER JEREMY GUTHRIE ANSWERS QUESTIONS DURING A NEWS CONFERENCE IN SAN FRANCISCO. In the world of sneakerheads, a subculture of folks whose pursuit of the latest kicks sometimes borders on the obsessive, Guthrie is something just short of a deity. He’s been accumulating shoes since he was a kid, when he got his first pair of Air Jordans, and his vast collection held in a vault in his Utah home has grown to roughly 500 pairs.

Head sneakerhead —————————

Royals’ Jeremy Guthrie has shoe collection worth half a million dollars By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Surprise, Ariz. — Jeremy Guthrie strode to the table with a television camera trained on him, settling down behind a pair of microphones. His voice clear and his words concise, Guthrie announced in a mock news conference that he was hanging up his cleats. The Kansas City Royals pitcher was retiring. In his prime. From the business of shoe collecting. To which his buddy, filmmaker David T. Friendly, replied: “My foot!” “I believe that about as much as I believe my degenerate friends who say they’re never going to gamble again after a bad loss,” Friendly said. “He’ll be back.” This was no minor announcement. In the world of sneakerheads, a subculture of folks whose pursuit of the latest kicks sometimes borders on the obsessive, Guthrie is something just short of a deity. He’s been accumulating shoes since he was a kid, when he got his first pair of Air Jordans, and his vast collection held in a vault in his Utah home has grown to roughly 500 pairs. There’s at least one of every edition of Air Jordan. There are special editions and oneoffs, variations of colors, styles and designs. Some were signed by other athletes or worn in games. While the value of anything is what someone is willing to pay for it, Guthrie estimates that his most expensive pair is worth about $40,000. His entire collection? About $500,000. And make no mistake: There are plenty of people willing to pay for it.

“You’d be amazed at how many sneakerheads there are,” said Friendly, the Academy Awardnominated producer of “Little Miss Sunshine,” who had been thinking of making a documentary film a few years ago when he stumbled on the sneaker movement. Friendly started to poke around this underground world, meeting people who regularly drop thousands on a pair of shoes. Eventually, someone told Friendly to get in touch with Guthrie, who gave him unfettered access to his knowledge and collection. The result was “Sneakerheadz,” a film exploring the subculture that will premier March 16 at South by Southwest, the iconic music, film and arts festival in Austin, Texas. “There’s been a sneaker culture since hip-hop music became more mainstream,” said Guthrie, who wound up investing in the film and is credited as a co-executive producer. “I grew up in a smaller town in Oregon, close to Nike, and I was always going to Foot Locker and buying shoes,” he explained. “But once I left that pocket, and I saw a lot of other guys that loved Jordans — they had 10 or 20 pairs — I said, ‘Oh, OK. That’s pretty cool.’” It was a revelatory moment. Guthrie had learned that, just like folks who collect baseball cards or stamps, there were other people who collected shoes. He found those people at BYU and Stanford, where he went to school. At every stop up the minor league ladder. Guthrie even found them in the big leagues, other ballplayers who would

Man tempted to get back at wife with affair Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our early 40s and have been married for six years. Two years after we married, I discovered that “Becky” was having an affair with a co-worker. They both lost their jobs over it. We tried marriage counseling, and it seemed to help. From what I could get out of Becky, they were intimate only once. But I’ve never felt that the whole truth came out. It was the Other Man’s girlfriend, “Jenny,” who discovered the affair. I recently decided to contact Jenny to see whether she could supply the missing pieces. We agreed to meet over coffee, and I found out that she and the Other Man broke up. Jenny informed me that, contrary to what Becky told me, the af-

fair lasted another 18 months after we discovered what was going on. But, Annie, here’s the new problem: After meeting several times, Jenny and I have developed feelings for each other and find ourselves in a situation similar to that of my wife and her ex-boyfriend. I know that two wrongs don’t make a right. I also believe that a marriage can be saved after an affair. But

‘Empire’ is a rare soap success story OK, class, time for a quiz: What Wednesday night primetime soap am I describing? A record label that all but defines a music genre finds itself under financial siege. A largerthan-life musical powerhouse can’t move on to new relationships because a love interest from the past looms too large. A character thinks he has found new love only to discover his love interest is a pawn in his enemy’s game. A major character hides a life-threatening illness from the public. Faced with unending taunts and disrespect, another character flirts with suicide. A hugely talented potential superstar wrestles with his gay identity and its effect on his career and his relationship with a culture that seems all but defined by macho homophobia. If you think those plot points describe “Nashville” (not airing tonight), you would be correct. Interestingly enough, they apply to “Empire” (8 p.m., Fox) as well. Both shows were created by directors with reputations for audacity. Callie Khouri (“Thelma & Louise) is behind “Nashville.” Lee Daniels (“Precious”) developed “Empire” with Danny Strong. Both shows blend high melodrama with engaging musical performances. And both seem determined to win fans over with musical genres that some love, but many love to hate. Many have compared “Empire” to former prime-time soap sensations like “Dynasty” and “Melrose Place.” In some ways “Empire” is even more over-thetop than those series. It reflects their soapiness as well as the campy antics of the divas on “The Real Housewives” franchise. For years, programmers and viewers have wondered how network TV would draw audiences back from reality shows, YouTube and other diversions. “Empire” may not be to everyone’s liking, but, for the time being, it is network television’s biggest success story in years. Tonight’s other highlights O Lincoln seeks revenge on the season finale of “The 100” (8 p.m., CW). O Hackers may have compromised a roller coaster’s safety on “CSI: Cyber” (9 p.m., CBS). O Caught between a family rock and a KGB hard place on “The Americans” (9 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is 84. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is 79. Singer Bobby McFerrin is 65. Actor Jeffrey Nordling is 53. Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., is 50.

Becky’s lies are always in the back of my head, and now I don’t know what to do. — Need Help in Jersey Dear Jersey: You have found a kindred spirit in Jenny because you have been through a shared experience. You also still harbor resentment toward Becky, and whether or not you recognize it, this is a convenient way to get even. Do you want to save your marriage? If so, stop seeing Jenny, get back into counseling with Becky, tell her you know the affair was more serious than she admitted, and ask her to come clean so you can truly work through this. Dear Annie: Could you influence my college-educated husband to stop licking his fingers when he counts his money? He refuses to acknowledge how

Lots of people have already touched the money your husband licks. He is putting all of their bacteria, not to mention his own and whatever is brewing in his wallet, into his mouth. As an added incentive, you might tell him you don’t intend to kiss that mouth until he brushes his teeth and gargles with an antiseptic mouthwash. — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

Kumquats and Blood Orange Winter Salad

A LITTLE FRUIT THAT PACKS A PUNCH

weet, sour and possibly the tartest fruit this side of a lemon, the kumquat is a bite-sized, seasonal winter citrus. They aren’t common, but they pack an uncommon punch. Just a handful provide close to a day’s worth of vitamin C — and you don’t even have to peel them. Just wash, eat and pucker up.

Delicious Sarah suggested kumquats, and I had to admit I knew almost nothing about them. I mentioned to a friend that I’d be cooking with them, and he mentioned that his grandma had made some sort of carrot relish with them. All of that orangeness sounded pretty good to me, not to mention extra healthy. I knew the kumquats were rather sour, and I thought maybe the earthiness of carrots would provide nice balance. I can’t get enough of ginger in anything, and I am very into sauces of all kinds — on meat, bread, vegetables, everything. So I thought a little gingered kumquat and carrot chutney might be a really nice thing, and indeed it was. It came together quickly with the help of my food processor, which is a key part of my kitchen. I highly recommend investing in a good one.

Delicious/ Nutritious

Kumquats and Blood Orange Winter Salad

Sarah Henning & Megan Stuke

Ingredients per salad: 1 1/2 cup spinach 1/4 cup kumquat slices (about 6 kumquats), unpeeled 1/2 large blood orange, cut into sections and then sections halved 1/2 avocado, cubed 1 ounce crumbled goat cheese Kumquat-Blood Orange Vinaigrette (recipe below) Layer ingredients in a bowl. Top with vinaigrette immediately before serving.

Gingered Kumquat and Carrot Chutney Ingredients 1 pound kumquats, quartered 1 1/2 cups grated carrot (done in nanoseconds in the Cuisinart) 1 cup sugar Juice of 3 clementines 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/8 teaspoon salt Directions Once you have your carrots and kumquats chopped, just add them to a medium-sized saucepan with the other ingredients over medium heat and stir oc-

Gingered Kumquat and Carrot Chutney casionally for about 10 minutes. Then lower the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes. This would go great on pork as a marinade or a sauce after cooking. I ate it with garlic toasts as an afternoon snack.

Nutritious I love tart foods. Loooove. So, kumquat season is super exciting to me — they’re basically nature’s Sour Patch Kids. Once I realized they were pucker-worthy little packages of sweet-sour juice, I was down for them. Even better: You don’t need to peel them. One ounce gives you 20 percent of your daily vitamin C for 20 calories, no fat, 2 grams of fiber. Not a bad

trade-off, I think. Now, they are very, very tart. I’m not going to lie, it’s hard to just pop them in your mouth without immediately regretting it. So, it’s good to start with them in little slices, just like we have in this salad. Plus, the slices are pretty much the closest you can get to calling a food adorable. I’ve paired those adorable little slices with sweet and pretty blood oranges, creamy and satiating avocado and goat cheese, and put it all on a bed of spinach. Top it with a similarly sweet and sour vinaigrette that also includes kumquats and blood oranges, and enjoy the tang.

Kumquat-Blood Orange Vinaigrette 1 blood orange, juiced (about half a cup) 1/4 cup olive oil 10 kumquats, juiced (just slice them in half and squeeze) 1 teaspoon Dijon 1 teaspoon honey 3 teaspoons (or 1 tablespoons) balsamic vinegar Whisk all ingredients together except olive oil. Once everything else is combined, add olive oil slowly while whisking. Serve immediately. — Megan Stuke (Delicious) is a working mom, a practical cook and an impractical hostess.

Take SpaghettiOs to the next level by making them at home

“R

ice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat!” my son proudly sang over and over

again. My husband’s boss — who had just taught my son the jingle — chuckled to us, “Sorry about that.” But then he quickly turned to back to him and said, “Here try this one: Uh-oh, SpaghettiOs!” “Uh-oh, SpaghettiOs!” my son parroted back in sing-song, but then he cocked his head and asked, “What are SpaghettiOs?” It’s true, my child had never, up to that point, tried SpaghettiOs. The deficiency really isn’t due to food snobbery, I swear. We eat boxed mac ’n’ cheese for lunch just about every weekend. All the same, I couldn’t quite commit to serving

Cooking From Scratch

a full 5 minutes to cool before you even start adding the cheese. And lastly, add the cheese slowly — toss in a small pinch, whisk for 30 seconds, toss in a small pinch, whisk for 30 seconds, and so on until the cheese is all added. If you want to make it extra fun, you can even hum the jingle to yourself while you work.

Meryl Carver-Allmond up a can of SpaghettiOs for dinner-proper, as my son requested soon after learning the jingle. Instead, I decided to try to make SpaghettiOs from scratch. There are actually quite a few recipes for homemade SpaghettiOs online. The “O”-shaped pasta that gives SpaghettiOs their name is called Anelletti. I couldn’t find any locally, but you can

Homemade SpaghettiOs

Meryl Carver-Allmond/Special to the Journal-World

order it from Amazon or use any other small pasta shape that you like. As for the sauce, most recipes tell you to cook the pasta in the tomato sauce. I can’t recommend that, as it gives the finished pasta sauce a gluelike consistency. Instead, I turned to my favorite simple spaghetti sauce

recipe, and just carefully added cheddar cheese at the end. Adding dairy products to acidic foods like tomatoes can be dicey business, so make sure you follow the directions below carefully. Start with cheddar cheese that’s been finely grated. Be sure to give the sauce

Homemade SpaghettiOs Ingredients 8 ounces uncooked Anelletti pasta (or similar small pasta shape) 28 ounces canned, diced tomatoes 3 tablespoons butter 1 medium onion 2/3 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions Pour the diced tomatoes into a large saucepan. Peel the onion, cut it in half and add it to the tomatoes. Then add the butter. Bring the tomato sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package directions. When the pasta is about half finished, pull the tomato sauce off the heat. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then gradually whisk in the cheese a pinch at a time. Pour the sauce over the pasta, mix well and add salt and pepper to taste. — Meryl Carver-Allmond writes about chickens, babies, knitting, gardening, food, photography and whatever else tickles her fancy on any given day at mybitofearth.net.

Neuropathic, or nerve, pain contributes to low back pain, a condition that affects millions of people. In a new study, Italian researchers combined alpha-lipoic acid with superoxide dismutase (SOD) to successfully treat patients with low back pain.

Reference: Battisti E, Albanese A, Guerra L, et al. Alpha lipoic acid and superoxide dismutase in the treatment of chronic low back pain. European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2013;49:1-6.

Some People with Celiac Disease Have Greater Risk of Lymphoma

Both substances function as important cellular antioxidants, and alpha-lipoic acid is also used in the treatment of diabetic nerve pain.

People with celiac disease whose intestines do not fully heal have a much higher risk of developing lymphoma, an immune system cancer, compared with other celiac patients and the general population.

Emilio Battisti, MD, of the University of Siena, and his colleagues treated 98 patients with chronic low back pain, giving them 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid and 140 IU of SOD daily for 60 days. The study was open and non-randomized, meaning there was no placebo group.
