(AP) — A Kansas City priest who was sentenced last month to 50 years in federal prison for child pornography has received an additional 21 years in Clay County for similar charges.

The Rev. Shawn Ratigan pleaded guilty Friday in Clay County Circuit Court to three charges of possessing child pornography and was sentenced to seven years for each. The sentence will run at the same time he serves his federal term.

The 48-year-old has admitted taking lewd photographs of young children. His case resulted in a misdemeanor criminal conviction against Bishop Robert Finn for failing to report suspected child sexual abuse to the state.

The photos came to light in December 2010 after a computer technician found several suspicious images on Ratigan’s laptop.

(AP) — As the World Series moves to St. Louis on Saturday, vast regions of the Midwest and South still love the Cardinals. But there are signs that nationally, Cardinals fatigue is officially setting in.

It began in the first round of the playoffs with national commentators openly rooting for the Pirates to beat St. Louis. Then there are online columns like a recent one the website Deadspin implying that Cardinals fans are insufferable.

Fans in St. Louis take the criticism in stride, saying some people are simply tired of all the success. The Cardinals have been in 10 of the past 14 postseasons and have played in the National League championship series eight times in the span. This World Series appearance is their fourth since 2004.

 (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration has approved a radioactive imaging chemical from General Electric to help screen for Alzheimer’s disease.

The drug, Vizamyl, is an injection of radioactive material designed to highlight abnormal brain plaque in medical imaging scans.

Dementia caused by Alzheimer’s is associated with buildup of the plaque, known as beta amyloid protein. However, it can also be found in patients who do not have neurological problems.

Vizamyl works by binding to the plaque and creating images that show up on positron emission tomography, or PET, scans of the brain.

The FDA says a negative scan means there is little plaque and the cause of dementia is probably not Alzheimer’s. A positive scan means the patient has at least some plaque, but does not prove they have Alzheimer’s.

(AP) — A server at an Overland Park, Kan., restaurant who got an anti-gay note instead of a tip from a couple he waited on has been getting support online.

A couple who ate at Carrabba’s Italian Grill in Overland Park recently left a message for their waiter instead of a tip. Their message read in part: “Thank you for your service, it was excellent. That being said, we cannot in good conscience tip you, for your homosexual lifestyle is an affront to GOD.”

Friends of the waiter spread word of the note on social media.

Marvin Baker, with Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church in Overland Park, went to Carrabba’s Thursday for lunch with his partner to show support for the waiter.

(AP) — A northeast Kansas prosecutor says she expects to reach a plea agreement with a woman accused of stealing $16,000 from the Jackson County agency where she worked.

40-year-old Janette Fund, of Delia, waived her preliminary hearing Thursday and was bound over for arraignment in November. County Attorney Shawna Miller says a plea agreement is likely.

Fund was arrested in September and faces 90 counts each of theft and entering false accounting information. She worked from April 2011 to July of this year for the county’s Noxious Weed, Landfill and Recycling Department.

The Jackson County sheriff says Fund was caught in July with missing cash that should have been deposited in the agency’s accounts. The thefts allegedly went on for two years.

(AP) Gov. Jay Nixon’s administration displayed “indifference to the privacy rights” of Missourians by gathering personal information about driver’s license applicants, according to a report Friday from a legislatively appointed panel.

Most of the procedures chided by the report have already been halted, but the panel nonetheless concluded that Nixon’s administration disregarded state law by implementing them in the first place.

The document scanning was halted in July when the Democratic governor signed a new law against it. The law had been approved by the Republican-led Legislature.

The report concludes that Missouri’s licensing procedures violated a 2009 state law that forbids state officials from taking steps to comply with the goals of the 2005 federal proof-of-identity law known as the Real ID Act. That federal law set stringent requirements for photo identification cards to be used to board commercial flights or enter federal buildings, but about half the states’ legislatures have opposed its implementation.

The report cites several state measures that it says complied with Real ID, including the scanning of documents, the acquisition of equipment to gather biometric information about people and the centralized issuance of driver’s licenses.

“By taking these actions, the executive branch has shown indifference to the privacy rights of all Missourians,” the report states.

A Nixon spokesman referred questions to the Department of Revenue, which had no immediate comment because it hadn’t reviewed the report.

While halting most of the criticized licensing procedures, the law enacted in July allowed Missouri to continue issuing its driver’s licenses through an out-of-state contractor that prints and mails them to people’s homes. The report said Missouri also should consider ending that.

“It is more efficient, secure, and beneficial to the consumers of these services to return to the local, over-the-counter issuance of identification cards,” the report said.

Officials at the Department of Revenue, which administers the driver’s license program, have said the centralized issuance saves money, and document-scanning was intended to help fright fraud. They have repeatedly said the Department of Revenue was not trying to comply with the Real ID Act, even though some of the additional security measures were similar.

“I just vehemently disagree with their interpretation,” said the panel’s chairman, Rep. Stanley Cox, R-Sedalia.

The report questions the truthfulness of administration officials. It suggests the Department of Revenue may have implemented the policies without formally changing its rules “purposely to keep this information hidden from the General Assembly and our citizens.”

It also deems “not credible” assertions by Nixon’s administration that the governor never was briefed on a policy that allowed a list of Missouri concealed guy permit holders to be shared with a federal Social Security fraud investigator. The investigator has said the list was destroyed without being used.

(AP) — The mystery is solved, she is not a missing Kansas City child — but the future of a young girl known only as Maria is still uncertain.

DNA tests confirm that a Bulgarian Roma, or Gypsy, couple living in an impoverished village with their nine other children are the biological parents of the girl found in Greece with another couple.

The mother of the children says she gave birth to a baby girl four years ago in Greece, where she was working as an olive picker, but gave the child away because she was too poor to care for her.

Maria has been in the care of a charity since authorities raided a Roma settlement in Greece last week and found she wasn’t related to the Greek Roma couple she was living with.

Officials in Bulgaria and Greece are now trying to determine whether her biological mother agreed to sell the child.

The Greek Roma couple have been charged with abducting the girl and committing document fraud. Under Greek law, child abduction charges can include cases where a minor is voluntarily given away by the parents.

The lawyer for the Greek couple says they’ll look to gain legal custody of the girl.

But a 14-year-old in Bulgaria who turns out to be one of Maria’s nine siblings says she wants her back home. She says, “We will take care of her.”

(AP) — A 23-year-old northeast Kansas man has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for his role in a January shooting death.

Lloyd Wabaunsee of Mayetta was sentenced Friday in Jackson County District Court for second-degree murder. He pleaded no contest to the charge in September after the prosecution agreed to recommend the sentence.

Because of his criminal history, Wabaunsee normally would have faced a sentence ranging from about 18 ½ to 20 ½ years.

Wabaunsee was found hiding in the trunk of a car in a grocery store parking lot in Urbandale, Iowa, about a week after 29-year-old Kevin Stanley was shot at his Mayetta home. After the discovery, Wabaunsee and three others were arrested.

Wabaunsee was the last defendant to be sentenced.

 (AP) — Google Fiber is bypassing Overland Park for now after the Kansas City suburb hesitated to sign a deal.

The tech giant negotiated a tentative deal that would open the way for it to sell its 1-gigabit-per-second Internet connections and cable-style TV service there.

It sought no direct subsidies and asked for some access to rights of way in return for free Internet service to public buildings such as schools and libraries. But the city council decided in September to put off a vote for a month.

After receiving assurances about an indemnification clause, the council was ready to approve the agreement this month. But by then, Google was moving on. Company spokeswoman Jenna Wandres says “Speed matters.”
