Father found innocent in fatal drunk-driving wreck
A Douglas County jury deliberated for about nine hours before finding Lawrence Rieke innocent Friday of providing liquor to teenagers Sept. 16, 2000.
Later that night, one of the teenagers killed a 39-year-old Lawrence woman while driving drunk.
Prosecution witnesses said Rieke, 54, of Merriam, provided alcohol for his stepson, Sean Scott, then 16, and three other teenagers while at The Wheel Pizza Company, 507 W. 14th St.
Later, Scott was driving home when he lost control of his car, killing Felicia Bland of Lawrence. Scott's car crossed the median and struck Bland's car on Kansas Highway 10.
The Bland family has filed a $75,000 civil lawsuit against Rieke; Scott; Scott's mother, Dana Rieke; the University of Kansas; and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

After two big losses, GOP unifies at gathering
TOPEKA—Hundreds of Republi-icans gathered from across Kansas to celebrate their party, but they also tended to the sting from the state GOP's only two high-profile election defeats.
Unity was the theme in speech after speech from party leaders during the party's annual convention, and its newly elected chairman preached solidarity. Speakers included North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole and her husband, former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole.
Republicans won four statewide races and three U.S. House contests last year. But Democrat Kathleen Sebelius won the governor's race, and Rep. Dennis Moore won narrowly in the 3rd Congressional District — both with support from GOP moderates.
GOP leaders said they want the infighting between conservatives and moderates to stop after the primary in 2004, so that Republicans, who outnumber Democrats by more than
301,000 among registered voters, don't have any high-profile losses
"We've learned from these last elections that we can't continue to shoot ourselves," said Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh. We've all got to remain on the same side and quit giving the Democrats opportunities."
WORLD Powell: Weapons inspectors might fail in Iraqi mission
DAVOS, Switzerland — Secretary of State Colin Powell, citing Iraq's lack of cooperation with U.N. inspectors, said Sunday he had lost faith in the inspectors' ability to conduct a definitive search for banned weapons programs
A U.S.-led war to oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is not imminent, Powell told business and political leaders, and he did not explicitly call for the inspections to end.
President Bush and heads of state were awaiting Monday's report by chief weapons inspector Hans Blix to the U.N. Security Council. The summary of their findings is intended to help determine whether Iraq has programs for chemical, biological or nuclear arms.
Blix wrote a report he will deliver at Monday's council meeting.

Singer gives $15,000 for hometown organ
The Associated Press
Etheridge, who grew up in Leavenworth, donated the $15,000 needed to buy the ARTIZAN band organ the town had its eye on for a long time.
LEAVENWORTH — The town of Leavenworth can now buy a $15,000 band organ, thanks to rocker Melissa Etheridge.
Jerry Reinhardt, a carousel afficionado
who's worked with the Leavenworth Historical Museum Association for years, was ecstatic last week when the check for the band organ arrived.
He said people restoring a small 1913 carousel that will be on display during the Taste of Leavenworth next month had been wanting a band organ to go with the carousel.
"But we also knew we did not have enough money to buy one," he said.
The one they wanted was in Kansas City. They expected to have to scrounge for money for years, until a group member suggested contacting Etheridge.
When Reinhardt wrote the singersongwriter, he sent a photo of the band organ and asked if Etheridge would sponsor part or all of its cost. When he learned she would pay for all of it, he offered to engrave a brass plate, as she wished, for the band organ.
