Painting ‘with iron and fire’ Young artists learn old art to help build gate for Black Jack site By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

ONLINE: Watch the video at LJWorld.com

The young adults at Van Go Mobile Arts are best known for their pieces of brightly painted furniture. But on Thursday, a crew of four put down their paintbrushes and picked up hammers to learn the ancient art of blacksmithing. It’s an art that requires both a forceful hand and a delicate touch. “You are painting something, it’s just with iron and fire,” said 19-year-old Heng Liu. Every other Thursday since December, the Van Go students have been making the short trip to Walt Hull’s forge in Pleasant Grove. They will become Walt Hull part of a group of blacksmiths from across the world that will craft a gate at the site of the Black Jack Battlefield, just outside Baldwin City. Like most people, the Van Go artists were at first nervous around the blazing fires and were timid with the hammering, instructor and local blacksmith artist Kate Dinneen said. But then they picked up the key to blacksmithing. “It’s a really good way to get out your aggression,” Dinneen said. It’s a skill that 20-yearold Tandy Myers never thought she’d acquire. But her friends think it’s pretty cool since they are into heavy metal (the musical variety, not the trade). “You have to be very fast and you have to be very precise,” Myers said.

MIDDLE SCHOOLS

Parents anxious about transition By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

DANIELLE VOLLE, 20, AN ARTIST with Van Go Mobile Arts, forges a piece of iron, which will become part of the Black Jack Gate, at Walt Hull Ironworks on Thursday. Students from Van Go have visited the studio four times to learn how to work with iron and to help create the gate, a drawing of which appears BELOW.

$30,000 STILL NEEDED TO MAKE BLACK JACK GATE A REALITY This May, Kate Dinneen hopes to gather more than 50 blacksmiths to build a gate to welcome visitors to the site of the Battle of Black Jack near Baldwin City. The gate would mark the 155th anniversary of the battle and the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Before the gate can be built, more than

$30,000 needs to be raised in the next few weeks. A rough economy coupled with the state’s recent cut for art programs has dampened fundraising efforts. “We are desperately in need of money at this point,” Dinneen said. Contributions to the Black Jack Battlefield can be made online to blackjackbattlefield.org.

Turns out the anticipation for leaving elementary school is no different after fifth grade as it is following sixth grade. For the parents, anyway. “She’s my baby,” said Linda Jadlow, and she wasn’t talking about the 4-week-old sleeping beside her in a car seat Thursday night in the auditorium at West Junior High School. “I love the change, just because that’s what I grew with, but she’s still my baby.” The “change” SCHOOLS she’s talking about actually involves Jadlow’s other daughter, Alexa, and the hundreds of other fifth-graders in the Lawrence school district who will graduate from elementary school this spring and then enroll in reconfigured junior high schools — to be known as middle schools — as sixth-graders for the fall. It’s a reconfiguration that’s been in the works for more than a year, will send all ninth-graders onto high school campuses for the first time in Lawrence and will continue to spur transitions in the coming months: teachers relocating, programs adjusting, perhaps even school names changing. But during Thursday’s Parent Information Night at West — a scene repeated at South and Southwest junior highs, and one that already had been conducted Tuesday at Central Junior High School — Jadlow and dozens of other moms, dads, grandparents, brothers and sisters had a chance to learn what prospective middle schoolers should count on: advisory periods, core classes, Please see PARENTS, page 4A

Loan program can lead to more energy-efficient homes By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Since November, Jessi Asmussen and her husband have had a to-do list of energy-efficient upgrades for their drafty, 100-year-old Lawrence home. But before they could cross anything off the list, the couple were waiting on the Kansas Corporation Commission to grant approval to Westar Energy so the utility could participate in its $38 million revolving loan program. Earlier this month, Westar Energy announced that the KCC did just that, allowing

Before homeowners can receive a loan they must pay for a home energy audit, which is being offered at a highly reduced cost of $100. Asmussen and hundreds of other Westar customers to take out a loan so they could make upgrades to improve their home’s energy efficiency. Customers would then pay off that loan through their utility bill. The revolving loan is part of a state program known as Efficiency Kansas, which is

funded through federal stimulus dollars. When the program began more than a year ago, the intent was to reach thousands of homeowners. So far, just 180 people have taken advantage of the state loan program. Until now, the loans were with smaller utility companies or through banks. Those bank loans, which came with a 4 percent interest rate, often required homeowners to take out a second mortgage, have a high credit score and 20 percent or more equity in their home. The agreement with the Please see PROGRAM, page 2A

Part of Lawrence-Manhattan challenge Participation in Efficiency Kansas, which includes a revolving loan program and a home energy audit, is among the categories where Lawrence and Manhattan residents are competing against one another in the Take Charge Challenge. The competition, which runs until fall, will see which town can save the most energy. “This is a really important part of the challenge that Lawrence residents

should look at doing if they want to help us win … and if they want to save money,” said the Lawrence Take Charge Challenge coordinator Margaret Tran. As of now, Manhattan is in the lead. For residents interested in participating in Efficiency Kansas through Westar Energy, an open house will take place in Topeka from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday in the Emerald Ballroom at the Capitol Plaza Hotel, 1717 SW Topeka Blvd.

Just Food service to close if $100,000 not raised soon By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Just Food, a Douglas County food program that served 2,000 people last month, needs to raise $100,000 in 60 days or it faces closure. “We have a tremendous program and we are meeting the needs of the people, but we are in a critical need for funding to continue,” said Ace Hickey, a longtime Just Food volunteer and board member. Hickey, a retired Lawrence mail carrier, has been involved with Just Food since

2005 when it was just a concept among a handful of community leaders. They wanted a bigger pantry that would allow them to store perishable and nonperishable items and that also would serve as a distribution center for smaller pantries. In 2009, the concept became a reality when East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corp., a commu-

nity action agency, received a one-year $250,000 grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to start the program. In October 2009, Just Food began operating out of a warehouse at 1200 E. 11th St. Since then, it has served 25,327 people, including 3,084 children under age 6. Just Food is part of the Harvesters Community Food Network in Kansas City, Mo., and is able to obtain nonper-

ishable and perishable items at a reduced cost. It can provide a complete meal for 74 cents. The program also gets donations of fresh produce from Douglas County farmers and the Lawrence Farmers’ Market. The food program operates on $132,000 annually, or $11,000 per month. That pays for two employees, rent, utilities and other necessities. It has 15 active volunteers who help write grants, enter data, store food and help clients. Please see JUST FOOD, page 2A

HOW TO HELP Just Food, a Douglas County food program that serves about 60 people per day, needs to raise $100,000 to continue operations. Donations can be made online at www.justfoodfund.org or by mailing a check to Just Food at 1200 E. 11th St., Lawrence 66046.

Expanded Obituaries

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

A Clinton resident who opened up his property to purple martin birds and people who loved to watch them has died at age 84. Franklin Bidinger pioneered a method of attracting the birds to his home near Clinton Lake by carving out gourds for natural bird houses. He and his wife, Betty, got interested in attracting the birds as a means of cutting down on the large mosquito population near their home. It worked. “He just loved them to pieces,” Betty said. At one point, 300 pairs of purple martins made his property their home. “You don’t see people with such a large colony,” said Louise Chambers of Corpus Christi, Texas, who works as education outreach director for the nonprofit Purple Martin Conservation Association. Bidinger worked for 20 years in the Lawrence water department and for 13 years at KU’s steam department. He took pride in his abilities as a fast-pitch softball pitcher, baffling hitters with his crazy pitches, said Bill Oehlert, Bidinger’s stepson from La Porte, Texas. Bidinger played on a town team, and his father often was his catcher, Oehlert said. “He’s the most natural storyteller and the most interesting — and interested — person you’d ever meet,” Oehlert said.

When Miquel Brown told his friends that he was learning how to blacksmith, they asked if he was making medieval knight suits. “I never really thought about blacksmithing. I thought it was a dead art. Like machines did everything these days,” Brown said. On Thursday, it was obvious the art was alive and well as the group pounded out leafshaped designs for the battlefield gate. The work is definitely more physical than other art forms, said 20-year-old Danielle Volle. But like painting, there is a flow and smoothness to blacksmithing. “But that’s really it. You are not painting with a hammer,” she said. Jordan Ryan, an Americorps volunteer who works with the group through Van Go, said that because the art form was foreign to everyone, she saw the artists’ creative process and personalities come out in the past few months. Dinneen agrees. “You see a smile on their face as they really get to wailing on it and another side of them comes out,” Dinneen said.

Country locked down after 5 killed Bahrain’s leaders banned public gatherings and sent tanks into the streets Thursday, intensifying a crackdown that killed five anti-government protesters, wounded more than 200 and turned a hospital into a cauldron of anguish and rage against the monarchy. Bahrain’s streets were mostly empty after the bloody clampdown, but thousands defied authorities by marching in cities in Libya and Yemen as the wave of political unrest continued in the wake of uprisings that toppled leaders in Egypt and Tunisia. The tiny kingdom of Bahrain is a key part of Washington’s military counterbalance to Iran by hosting the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet. Bahrain’s rulers and their Arab allies depict any sign of unrest among their Shiite populations as a move by neighboring Shiitemajority Iran to expand its clout in the region. While part of the recent revolt in the Arab world, the underlying tensions in Bahrain are decades old and pit the majority Shiites against the Sunni elite. 2 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Critics say bill discriminates against gays ————

Legislation in Kansas House designed to protect religious freedom By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A bill touted by its supporters Thursday as a way to keep government from infringing on religious freedom was criticized by opponents as a deceptive way to discriminate against people who are gay. House Bill 2260 would prohibit government from denying the exercise of religion unless there was a compelling government interest. Joel Oster, senior litigation counsel for the Alliance Defense

Fund, said the legislation is needed to prevent government from forcing people to go against their religious beliefs. He cited an instance in New Mexico where a photographer was ruled in violation of state law because she refused to photograph a same-sex wedding. The bill was also supported by the Kansas Catholic Conference and Concerned Women for America of Kansas. But opponents of the bill said that the way it was written it would allow discrimination based on sexual orientation and

the basis of an individual exercising their freedom of religion. I would hope that you not keep this clause in the bill,” Francisco said. Tom Witt, executive director of the Kansas Equality Coalition, said he believes the impetus for the bill was the recent passage in Manhattan of an ordinance that adds sexual orientation and a new definition of gender identity to its anti-discrimination policy.

gender identity. And they said the legislation would nullify local ordinances, such as the one in Lawrence that prohibits landlords, employers and others from discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation. During a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, state Sen. Marci Francisco, DLawrence, spoke against a major part of the bill. “I do not believe that our Kansas Constitution and our Kansas statutes should be used to condone discrimination on

In a deepening struggle over spending, Republicans and Democrats swapped charges Thursday over a possible government shutdown when money runs out March 4 for most federal agencies. “Read my lips: We’re going to cut spending,” declared House Speaker John Boehner. He pledged that the GOP-controlled House would refuse to approve even a short-term measure at current funding levels to keep the government operating. The Ohio Republican prefaced his remarks by accusing Democrats of risking a shutdown “rather than to cut spending and to follow the will of the American people.” But moments later, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., retorted that Boehner was resorting “to threats of a shutdown without any negotiation.” The sparring occurred as the House labored to complete work on veto-threatened legislation to cut more than $61 billion from the budget year that’s more than a third over. That bill also would provide funding to keep the government operating until Sept. 30.

Lawmakers consider proposal to end ‘social promotion’

Riders of the city’s public transit system should prepare for route changes, especially if they travel in or near North Lawrence, Haskell Indian Nations University or the Prairie Park neighborhood. City leaders will host four public meetings next week to get input on proposed changes that will add some new areas of service but also increase wait times for some parts of town. “Operationally, we’re trying to get to a higher level of service, a higher level of efficiency, and we’re also looking for opportunities to get to some areas of town we’re not servicing right now,” said Robert Nugent, public transit administrator for the city. Among changes proposed are: ● North Lawrence: The city plans to change the frequency of service along North Lawrence’s Route 4 from 40 minutes to 60 minutes. But the city is also lengthening the route so it will provide service to the Ninth and Iowa area and to The Merc.

Community college president to retire By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

The longtime president of Kansas City Kansas Community College has announced his intention to retire in June. Thomas Burke has worked at the community college since 1988 and has been its president since 1992. In that time, he has helped guide the college through many changes, including the addition of a technical school operated by the Kansas City, Kan., school district. He also helped bring all the state’s community colleges under the authority of the Kansas Board of Regents with the passage of a 1999 bill. “I don’t know if the realization has struck home as of yet,”

Burke said on Wednesday. He said he started thinking over winter break that this might be a good time to retire and noted that his wife had already started making travel plans. Brian Bode, the school’s vice president for student and administrative services, said Burke was a steady hand guiding an unsteady ship. The college today faces a strained budget while it deals with record enrollments. “I read a great quote the other day,” Bode said. “We’re going to fill the position, but we’re not going to replace Dr. Burke for a very long time.” — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

to 16 percent since 2000. And the percentage of retained third-graders peaked at 13.2 percent in 2002-03 and has since fallen to 6.4 percent last year. The reason, she said, was that the retention law made schools focus and organize themselves around the goal of getting children up to gradelevel reading by the third grade. “There was a lot of political pressure to change the policies, but the perseverance really paid off,” she said. The Education Committee is considering a similar proposal for Kansas. In addition, Gov. Sam Brownback has said one of his major goals is increasing the percentage of fourth-grade students reading at or above grade level. Under House Bill 2245, a student would have to repeat third grade if the child scored less than proficient on the third-grade state reading test. But Kansas education officials said the state shouldn’t mandate whether a student must be retained. Local schools currently make those decisions. “The best decisions are made when the teacher, principal and parent make that decision as a team,” said Mark Desetti, with the Kansas National Education Association. Many of the Kansas educa-

tion off icials noted that Kansas students rank ahead of Florida students and their improvements in scores over the past several year have paralleled or exceeded those of Florida students. They also said some research shows that sometimes retention can be harmful to students, and they said they didn’t like basing the decision on whether to promote a student on the result of one high-stakes reading test. And they said Kansas schools have already been practicing many of the strategies that Florida has recently put in place, such as frequent monitoring of students and providing reading coaches to children who are struggling to learn. Education Committee Chairman Clay Aurand, RCourtland, however, indicated he was interested in the Florida concept. He said that if the committee works on the bill it would add exemptions to mandatory retention similar to exemptions in Florida’s law. Those include students with disabilities that prevent them from taking a test, English language learners who have had less than two years of English, and students who demonstrate proficiency on an alternate test. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Attempted-murder charge filed in shooting A 24-year-old rural Lawrence man faces an attempted-murder charge in Jefferson County after his halfbrother was shot early Thursday morning. Jefferson County Attorney Robert Fox said he filed charges of attempted seconddegree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon against Bryan E. Poeverlein. Fox said the incident stemmed from an apparent argument early Thursday at the men’s residence in the 1700 block of Wellman Road, which is about 8 miles north of Lawrence.

Jefferson County Sheriff’s officers said they were called about 2:30 a.m. and found a 22year-old man who had Poeverlein been shot once. The victim was taken to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka, but sheriff’s officials said his injuries were not believed to be life threatening. Fox said he expected Poeverlein to appear in court today.

store, and extending the North Lawrence route, which goes through downtown, seemed the most logical. “Route 4 has had some problems with ridership,” Nugent said. “We are trying to find ways to get more ridership on that route.” ● Haskell Indian Nations University: The city is proposing to reduce the number of transit routes that serve Haskell from two to one. Under the plan, Route 1 no longer would go through Haskell’s campus. Route 5, which basically runs along 23rd Street and South Iowa Street, would continue to serve the university. ● Prairie Park neighborhood: By dropping Haskell from Route 1, the city will be able to expand the route to serve the Prairie Park neighborhood. Specifically, the new Route 1 would travel on Harper Street to 27th Street and would travel along 27th Street over to Haskell Avenue. The frequency of service also would improve from 40 minutes currently to 30 minutes. Nugent said he’s proposing the change to Route 1 because

TRANSIT MEETINGS The city plans to have four informational meetings about the proposed transit route changes next week. They are set for: ● 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Lawrence Visitors Center, 402 N. Second St. ● 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday at Douglas County Fairgrounds Building 21, 2120 Harper St. ● 10 a.m. to noon Feb. 25 at Lawrence Transit offices, 933 N.H. ● 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. he wants to increase its frequency and also wants to attract new riders from the Prairie Park area. But he conceded that the changes likely would cause several people who use the bus to get to Haskell to make an extra transfer. Minor changes also are proposed for routes 3, 5, 10 and 11. The city hasn’t set a date for the route changes to take effect. Instead, the city’s public transit leaders want to get feedback from the public before finalizing the changes.

exploratory classes, elective classes, extracurricular activities and more. “If we do it right, it serves as a bridge to get from the elementary level to the high school level,” said Myron Melton, principal of West. Unlike years past — when only a single grade level of students would be new for the coming year — the 2011-12 newbies will span a full twothirds of each school. Next year’s sixth- and seventhgraders alike will be choosing electives for the first time,

using lockers for the first time and, well, giving twice as many parents and guardians reasons to break out the baby pictures, wondering where all the years have gone. The numbers may change, but parents’ feelings apparently don’t. “Mom is apprehensive,” said Sarah Plinsky, referring to herself in the third-person before West’s session for parents of incoming seventhgraders. “It’s hard to see your kids grow up.” — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Prosecutors say the defendants climbed through an apartment window they broke on Dec. 11 at the Grove Apartments, 4301 W. 24th Place, where they hoped to rob one of Allen’s former neighbors. Witnesses told police that night they saw three men crawl out of the window carrying a laptop computer and possibly a gun. A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper arrested the men in

Business health center getting its own space By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Business Health Center is moving this week to the lower level of the three-story medical building called the 4th Street Health Plaza at 1130 W. Fourth St. The move is going to enable the center to consolidate its services into one area instead of throughout the hospital. The center offers treatment to injured workers, disability ratings and case management. It also provides pre-employment testing, such as drug tests and fitness assessments. In 2010, the center had 9,785 visits. Greg Windholz, director of the center, said the move is going to be more convenient for clients and staff. The clinic is now inside the emergency department, where clients check in. If a patient needs physical therapy, they go to Kreider Rehabilitation Services on the second floor of the hospital, and if they need a treadmill electrocardiogram test, they go to the second floor of the health plaza. Until this week, the center’s nine full-time employees worked out of office space on the third floor of LMH. Windholz said the center will begin seeing patients in the new location on Monday, where all of the services will be offered. The Business Health Center also will be focusing more on wellness in the workplace. It will provide more prevention activities and testing for employers. For example, the center can help identify some of the chronic diseases among employees and ways to help prevent them. — Health reporter Karrey Britt can be reached at 832-7190.

Debate teams qualify for national tournament Kansas University’s debate team has qualified two teams as automatic qualifiers to the National Debate Tournament, scheduled March 25-28 in Dallas. The teams selected are Dylan Quigley, a Wichita senior, and Sean Kennedy, a Leawood junior; and Patrick Kennedy, a Leawood junior, and Matthew Petersen, a Wichita senior. Both teams qualified as automatic bids to the 78-team field. In order to do that, they had to be among the top 16 teams in the country, as selected by a national committee. Only Northwestern University joined KU in having two automatic qualifiers. The rest of the field will be filled during tournaments taking place in the next three weeks. KU’s squad was ranked third in the final coaches’ poll of the season, behind only Northwestern and Emory University, two debate powerhouses.

Kan. lawmakers plead Boeing’s case in aerial-tanker contest By Rob Hotakainen McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Amid fears that Boeing will lose a $35 billion aerial tanker contract to a European competitor, senators from Washington state and Kansas pressured President Barack Obama on Thursday to side with the U.S. aerospace giant, which promises to bring thousands of jobs to the two states if it wins the competition. “Our economy and our workers cannot afford for this contract and the jobs it will create to go overseas,” said Sen. Patty Murray, DWash., adding that Boeing employees “are hungry for this contract.” Sen. Pat Roberts Roberts, RKan., implored “everybody who’s out there tweeting, chirping and Facebooking” to contact the White House immediately and stress the importance of getting the Air Force to award the contract to Chicago-based Boeing. “It is in the national interest that we ought to do this,” Roberts said. “The Air Force ought to pay attention to that. ... Our workers in Kansas and Wichita stand at the ready.” If Boeing wins the contract, the company promises, it will create 11,000 jobs in Washington state and 7,500 jobs in Kansas. The company has large manufacturing facilities in Washington state, Kansas, Missouri and another plant slated to open this year in South Carolina.

DILBERT

If Boeing loses the contract, the new jobs will go to Mobile, Ala., where the parent company of Airbus, the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., promises to build the airplanes. Washington state and Kansas politicians are engaged in an all-out blitz to get Obama’s attention. The governors of the two states, Democrat Chris Gregoire of Washington and Republican Sam Brownback of Kansas, are heading a group called the U.S. Tanker Coalition. Earlier this week, they wrote a letter to Obama, saying that Boeing could build the tankers “and prove the best value for the American taxpayer.” Roberts said that if the White House was serious about creating more jobs, “the president should look no further than the procurement of the Boeing tanker.” He said the contract would have an annual $388 million economic impact on Kansas. “Ladies and gentlemen, this has been too long,” Roberts said. “It’s been a 10year effort, and these are Eisenhower-era airplanes” that the Air Force would be replacing. “It’s time to award this contract and put people to work.” The tanker issue has generated plenty of heat so far in the new Congress. Last month, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., teamed up to sponsor a bill that would require the Pentagon to consider any unfair advantages for either company gained through subsidies before awarding the contract.

Judge asked to clarify health care ruling PENSACOLA, FLA. — The Justice Department asked a federal judge in Florida on Thursday to tell states that they must continue to enact the Obama administration’s health care overhaul despite the judge’s ruling that the law is unconstitutional. In a motion to clarify, administration attorneys asked U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson to make clear that states cannot ignore the new health care laws while his ruling is being appealed. At stake, according to the government’s motion, are provisions of the new law that would create chaos if ignored by the states. Those provisions include 2011 changes in Medicare payment rates. Delaying those changes “could cause major delays and errors in the payment of the roughly 100 million Medicare claims processed each month,” the motion states. Florida and 25 other states filed the lawsuit that said Congress exceeded its authority by requiring all citizens to purchase health insurance or face tax penalties. Vinson agreed, ruling on Jan. 31 that President Barack Obama’s entire health care overhaul law is unconstitutional. The broad challenge seems certain to be resolved only by the Supreme Court.

Celebrity skates Do some laws simply not apply to celebrities?

f news reports are correct, it is difficult to understand why high-profile television star Charlie Sheen has not been arrested for illegal possession and use of cocaine. News stories tell of Sheen being engaged in wild orgies with porn stars and large amounts of cocaine, but there has been little, if any, action by law enforcement officials. On the other hand, story after story tell of law enforcement officials conducting “raids” to nail users of illegal drugs. Likewise, people pulled over for traffic violations often have their vehicles inspected by law officers who see evidence of drugs or marijuana. If convicted, the driver may face a number of severe penalties. But, for whatever reason, Sheen and others like him seem to be able to skate through cocaine parties without any punishment. He is the talk of late night talk shows, becoming almost a hero or actually increasing his celebrity because of his antics and wild behavior. Is this apparent immunity from prosecution due to his star status, the ability of Sheen to buy the services of powerful and influential attorneys or the willingness of law enforcement officers to look the other way? Are there certain “laws” for most people that simply don’t apply to others?

Ongoing effort The longevity of an agency that serves free meals in Lawrence is a tribute to its supporters and volunteers.

appy birthday — and thank you — to LINK, the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen. LINK this week celebrates its 26th year of serving a hot meal to the city’s hungry. The agency is headquartered in the basement of the First Christian Church, at 10th and Kentucky streets. It started on Valentine’s Day in 1985 at St. John’s Catholic Church. LINK serves lunch four times a week, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, and some holidays. For an agency to maintain such an important service for so long shows dedication and support from a variety of sources, including the churches, volunteers and donors. All deserve our thanks. Here’s wishing LINK several more decades of service.

From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 18, 1911: “A DISASTROUS FIRE THIS AFTERNOON. — The Bowersock opera house, YEARS erected in 1876, was destroyed by a fire AGO which originated on the second floor at IN 1911 2 o’clock this afternoon. The building was valued at $40,000 and is a total loss. It is almost fully covered by insurance. With the destruction of the theatre, the plant of the Lawrence Journal valued at $25,000, the F. W. Morris second hand store valued at $2,500, and the fine law library of G. J. Barker, valued at $3,000, were burned. “The fire evidently originated in a small room off the stage and over the second hand store. When discovered only a small blaze was visible. Simultaneously fire was discovered by the Journal force in the ceiling of their bindery at the extreme southeast corner of the building. Before the arrival of the fire department, the entire top of the theatre was found to be a mass of flames. The fire had apparently been working its way undiscovered through the interior walls of the building for some time.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Splits will challenge Egypt democracy CAIRO — There’s still a glow of liberation here, a week after the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak. Young activists hand out flowers to visitors at the airport, and there is exuberant flagwaving at night in Tahrir Square. But already you can see the political cleavages that will test this young revolution. The secret of the Egyptian revolution was that it was inclusive. The street protests brought together rich and poor, secular and religious, Muslim and Christian, socialist and capitalist.

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

here wonder “if the… people military, which has

provided every Egyptian leader since 1952, is really willing to give up control.”

Demonstrators and troops embraced in the streets, and, even now, the crowds in Tahrir are climbing over tanks as if they were in an amusement park. The uprising that toppled Mubarak was one those Utopian moments that bring a suspension of normal politics. Differences of class, ideology, religion and gender were ignored in pursuit of the common goal of ending a corrupt and arrogant regime. But given human nature, those moments don’t last. Behind the common front in the streets were groups with subtly different agendas. One Facebook organizer was a leftist group known as the 6th of April Youth Movement, named for a 2008 labor strike. Another was the network of prosperous Internet activists, led by Google executive Wael Ghonim, who mobilized the first big protest on Jan. 25. The Muslim Brotherhood, though a latecomer, added a stiff backbone. The common chant in the

streets was “Bread, Freedom, Dignity,” which papered over these ideological gaps. And the genius of the organizers was to insist that the protests remain peaceful, no matter what the provocations. This communal spirit spread to spontaneous “popular committees” that protected neighborhoods from looting. But now real politics begins. I got a sense of how this unified movement is likely to diverge when I met three of Egypt’s most gifted young filmmakers, who are collaborating on a joint documentary called “Tahrir” that they hope to show at the Cannes Film Festival in May. They were in the streets together, but they have different views of where Egypt should go next. “We need to calm people down a bit. We don’t want to rush things and hurt the country,” says Amr Salama, a director who is close to Ghonim and is a leading figure in the youth movement. Mohamed Diab, who directed a prize-winning film about sexual harassment in Egypt, wants to reach out to those who opposed the Tahrir protests: “There are 1.2 million people working for the police. We need them for securi-

ty. They are 2.8 million people in Mubarak’s National Democratic Party. We can’t exclude them from what comes next.” But Ahmed Abdallah, the third filmmaker whose views are similar to the leftist April 6 group, argues that the crimes of the regime and police must be exposed and punished. He explains: “I’m not sure inclusivity should last. It doesn’t in any democracy.” A prominent Egyptian venture capitalist who began raising a $100 million fund two weeks before the uprising started says he favors democracy no matter who wins. “We’re making a big bet that we’re not going socialist,” he says. But Dina Sherif, an activist who helps direct a civicengagement program at the American University in Cairo, cautions that democracy will take time: “We don’t know what a political party is supposed to do. We’re very green.” The military committee that has been running the country for the past week has been meeting with protest organizers and drafting rules for the transition. But people here wonder if the military, which has provided every Egyptian leader since 1952, is real-

ly willing to give up control. “The army is the question: Is the army prepared to share power with the people?” asks Mustafa El-Gindy, a businessman who is active with the liberal Wafd Party. Several activists said they hope America will help steady the transition with economic assistance and expertise on organizing elections, rewriting a constitution and other details. President Obama gets high marks here for supporting Mubarak’s ouster, despite misgivings from Israel, Saudi Arabia and other allies. The argument I heard repeatedly was that the world should trust in Egyptian democracy to resolve the disputes that are ahead. Hani Shukrallah, a journalist who was part of a 30-member dialogue group known as the “Wise Men,” puts it this way: “Obviously we will not remain one happy family. There is no such thing. But can we remain a viable democracy? Yes. We’ll have arguments, and we’ll even have riots sometimes. But we accept pluralism in Egypt. We accept that people have different ideas.” — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

PUBLIC FORUM

Enrollment trend To the editor: Tuition at Kansas University has been increased repeatedly. The standards for admission have been raised significantly. The contribution to KU from the state budget is expected to be reduced for next year. The present political climate will work to perpetuate reduced state financing. Taken together, these changes point to a basic change in trend. The enrollment at KU will decrease rather than increase. Have those individuals and companies that do business with KU, with its faculty and staff and with its students prepared contingency plans for the effect of reduced enrollment upon them? Have city, county and school board officials made contingency plans? They, too, will be affected. Sports that are relatively well funded in these times will obscure this change in the media and, perhaps, in the public mind. Yet a change in enrollment trend will have multiple effects on our entire community. Austin Turney, Lawrence

Get on board To the editor: One of the things that makes Lawrence special is our historic buildings and neighborhoods. The depot at Seventh and New York is one of our crown jewels of modern architecture in Lawrence. It is eligible for listing on the Register of Historic Places. It is worthy of preservation. It is a gateway to our city, part of the infrastructure of a sustainable transportation system. Directed by the City Commission, city management submits grant applications and pursues ownership transfer of the depot. Amtrak is working to craft a policy allowing it to continue to be the responsible party for the ADA compliance upgrades to our station after the city assumes ownership. This move is prompted by the lobbying efforts of Depot Redux and the efforts of city management. Depot Redux is a 501c3, not for profit, community organization with a board of directors and many paid members. In addition to its work with city management and Amtrak, Depot Redux volunteers supplement passenger services at the depot. Fundraising efforts by Depot Redux members are promised once the city assumes ownership and receives matching grants. Citizens are more likely to support a cam-

paign to rehabilitate the station if the city shows its support by accepting ownership. This is a community project that requires collaboration of government, citizens, and Depot Redux. It is important to get on board before the train leaves the station (or in our case, the station leaves the train). Carey Maynard-Moody, Tom Harper, Depot Redux Lawrence

Where’s the money? To the editor: Recently Sen. Mitch McConnell referred to Social Security’s negative cash flow as a one or our “long-term unfunded liabilities.” That’s not even wrong. Working Americans have been overfunding Social Security to the extent of a current $2.6 trillion surplus (http://www.ssa.gov/oact/progdata/assets.h tml). So where’s the money? Well, Sen. McConnell’s distinguished predecessors spent it. What’s left is a gargantuan pile of IOUs known as the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Trust Funds. This sort of thing also happens in the private sector where it’s known as fraud. So what exactly is the difference between Bernie Madoff and our representatives, both of whom spent money entrusted to them with no apparent scheme for repaying it? The central difference seems to be that Madoff forgot to leave behind a pile of bonds, which would have shown that he really did intend to pay it back. Maybe he had an incompetent lawyer. In any event, given the slim chance that Sen. McConnell and his colleagues from both parties decide to adjust Social Security benefits for current retirees, fixing the mess will fall upon younger generations in the form of higher taxes, increased borrowing, or both. Maybe there needs to be more overcrowding in Mr. Madoff’s prison wing. Oliver Finney, Lawrence

Art is for all To the editor: What is art? Art is a means of communication. It provides a way of thinking “outside the box.” It’s a chronicler of life. It’s a pleasure for each of the senses — sight, sound, taste, touch, smell. Art is a discipline that crosses cultural lines, language barriers, age, sex. It’s a uniquely human endeavor. Art can be done and appreciated by all humans. Apparently, the governor of Kansas feels that

art isn’t universal enough to be supported by the state; it should be privately funded by and for the few who can afford it. It is an elite endeavor, not to be available to all Kansans. Dwight Eisenhower (soldier) and Winston Churchill (statesman) enjoyed painting. They may not have been experts, but they relaxed with the visual arts. Albert Einstein (physicist) played the violin, but apparently not very well. (Not everyone can.) Isaac Stern, a renowned violinist, was one who often played with Einstein. Once, when practicing duets, Stern stopped in the middle and, with exasperation, allegedly exclaimed to the scientist: “Count, Albert, count!” He may have had problems with his musical clock, but Einstein still enjoyed art. Would that all Kansans had the opportunity to partake of this uniquely human endeavor and to reap from it what they may. What say, Governor? Jerome M. Yochim, Lawrence

Censure sought To the editor: The following is a quote from a Kansas Democratic Party release of Feb. 14. “On Tuesday, Feb. 8, during testimony in front of the Kansas House Federal and State Affairs Committee, Rep. Connie O’Brien told a story about an experience she had with someone who was supposedly an undocumented immigrant. Here is the transcript: “Rep. Sean Gatewood, D-Topeka — ‘Can you expand on how you could tell that they were illegal?’ “Rep. Connie O’Brien, R-Tonganoxie — ‘Well she wasn’t black, she wasn’t Asian and she had the olive complexion.’” Even if this is “out of context,” there is no context that would excuse such a remark. Apparently, there are no black illegal immigrants, there are no Asian illegal immigrants and all persons of “olive complexion” are illegal immigrants in the eyes of Rep. O’Brien. This statement is so far beyond the pale that it deserves more than a public apology. It deserves censure. Jack Altman, Lawrence

Ethanol plant in Pratt purchased PRATT — A short-lived Kansas ethanol plan that a few years ago was expected to become the biggest in the state has been purchased by a national agricultural marketing firm based in Omaha, Neb. The Scoular Company said it hopes to have the 55-milliongallon plant in Pratt operating by the third or fourth quarter this year after extensive renovation of the former Gateway Ethanol plant. The plant opened in August 2007 and began some ethanol production in October of that year. But it never operated commercially and was shut down in December 2007 after an ice storm froze and heavily damaged its equipment. The $100 million plant filed a $1.1 million freeze damage claim in January 2008 but was shut down again in late February, blaming the price of corn. A Minneapolis-based investment bank that held more than $63 million in loans on the plant filed for foreclosure in April 2008, but the plant didn’t go up for sale until last summer because of a protracted legal battle. The Hutchinson News reported that Scoular officials anticipate eventually employing up to 40 people there.

KANSAS BASEBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KU key: Selective hearing From Willie’s to the Bottleneck, from Watson Park to South Park, from Weaver’s to the Love Garden, from Auntie Em’s Deli to the Basil Leaf Cafe, it seems all anybody has been talking about all week are the words uttered by ESPN color commentator Bob Knight in the wake of Kansas State’s blowout victory against Kansas University on Monday night in Bramlage Coliseum. Knight, I’m told by everybody everywhere, said that the loss could end up being the best thing for Kansas, which started the day ranked No.1 in the nation and ended it with a humiliating defeat. Kansas coach Bill Self watches the televised feeds of games because it’s the highest-quality, but he does so with the mute button engaged. He didn’t hear Knight’s comment, but basically agreed with it. “I turned the sound way down and watched it many times,” Self said of the game. “I made my own commentary most of the time.” Oh to be a fly on the wall of his office during that session. “I think a lot of times in this sport, a negative can become a positive over time,” Self said Thursday. “I bet you the Green Bay Packers had a rivalry game they lost that was a huge deal and (thought), ‘How are we going to get back together?’ and probably woke some guys up to realize that, ‘Our backs are against the wall. We have less margin for error than what we thought.’ Then they go run the table.” In 2008, Kansas lost three times in a seven-game stretch, the last one on Feb. 23 to Oklahoma State. Then the Jayhawks won 13 in a row to claim the national title. “We were still pretty full of ourselves until after the Oklahoma State loss,” Self said. The untold story of why that team was able to pull it together and gain basketball immortality lay in the maturity the players showed by blocking out all the outside voices that vied for their attention as the tournament neared. Agents use their savvy to get close to family members, who turn around and begin talking to the players about the life that lies ahead. The threat lingers that players can be told by those close to them what’s the best way for them to maximize their tournament exposure, and what they’re told can conflict with what’s best for the team. The players on the ’08 team decided to block out all those voices and, for the final six weeks, listened to one voice and one alone, that of the coaching staff. Doing so led those Jayhawks to a national title, which in turn played a big part in five players getting selected in that year’s draft. It took maturity for that team to block out all the competing voices and will take the same from this team, which hasn’t often been described as mature. Each player should walk outside tonight, gaze at the stunningly beautiful full moon and make a commitment to himself: “I will listen to one voice and one voice alone for the rest of this season.” Then, when the next full moon appears, March 19, the players should repeat the exercise. Should Kansas get sent to Tulsa, the next full moon falls on the night after KU’s first-round blowout victory and the night before the challenging second-round game. The full-moon promise won’t guarantee anything, but will give KU its best shot.

Eager underdogs ————

After down year, Jayhawks relish diminished expectations By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Last spring, the expectations for Kansas University’s baseball team were perhaps the loftiest in the program’s history. With Player of the Year candidate Tony Thompson headlining a powerful offense and a strong crop of pitchers, the Jayhawks were picked to finish second in the Big 12, and mentions of reaching the College World Series weren’t unheard of. But Thompson missed the first third of the season because of a broken kneecap, dominant closer Brett Bochy blew out his elbow early in Big 12 play, and KU’s aspirations of a postseason run slowly fizzled away. The Jayhawks finished 31-27-1 overall, 11-15-1 in the Big 12, often let would-be wins slip away and ended the year on a six-game losing streak. Ever the optimist, coach Ritch Price had a little fun at his own expense on media day on Tuesday at the McCarthy Family Clubhouse. “After watching what has happened to Kansas State basketball (this year), there are some parallels between us being picked No. 2 in the preseason a year ago and finishing seventh,” he quipped. The Jayhawks were tapped to finish ninth in the conference in this year’s preseason poll, and Price, unconcerned with the

TCU next top-ranked test for Kansas By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

MATT PURKE, WHO WENT 16-0 LAST SEASON, is back for TCU and expected to start tonight’s opener against the Jayhawks.

Kansas University’s baseball team opens the 2011 season at 6:30 tonight at top-ranked TCU. Yawn. By now, the whole idea of playing the No. 1 team in the nation is getting to be routine for the Jayhawks, who, in consecutive seasons, took a series from Texas (via sweep in 2009) and LSU (two out of three in 2010) while those clubs sat atop the college baseball polls. Facing the challenge right out the gate will be a new experience for Kansas, but it’s one that coach Ritch Price believes his team is ready to face. “I’m thrilled for the opportuni-

ty, and our players are thrilled for the opportunity,” Price said. TCU is ranked No. 1 largely because of the strength of its starting pitching. All three starters from last season return, and all finished 2010 with an earned-run average lower than 3.40. “We have to pitch as good as they’re gonna pitch,” Price said. “(TCU ace Matt) Purke is 16-0. He’s gonna be the first player taken in the draft. There’s no doubt about that. But their Saturday (Kyle Winkler, 12-3 in 2010) and Sunday (Steven Maxwell, 11-2 in 2010) starters won 11 and 12 games a year ago. They have tremendous starting pitching and they have six or seven starters back from their College World Series team from a year ago.”

Getting the game-one call for KU will be staff ace T.J. Walz, a senior from Omaha, Neb., who finished 85 with a 5.06 ERA last season. Walz said he was eager to square off against the nation’s top arm. “That’s the best possible way to open up,” Walz said. “I watched (Purke) throw in Omaha last year, and there’s no better guy to open up against and try to show him what you got.” Though nobody has beaten Purke during his college career, Walz said the Jayhawks had a secret weapon who might help. “Back in high school, (KU freshman) Tyler Smith (of Tomball High in Cypress, Texas) was the last guy to beat him, so I think we got that going for us,” Walz said.

Taylor shoulders blame for Jayhawks’ loss Junior says he was not ‘tuned in’ offensively or defensively in setback at Kansas State By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University junior point guard Tyshawn Taylor cringed Wednesday as he watched the film of Monday’s 84-68 blowout loss at Kansas State. “I’ve played a lot of bad games in my career here so far. That’s probably one of the worst, on both ends of the court,” said Taylor, who committed six turnovers against one assist on a night he scored eight points. “I was not tuned in. I was not focused on guarding my man

(Jacob Pullen, who scored 38 points). I wasn’t getting my team into offense. I played real bad. I (stunk). Everybody who watched that game will tell you that,” he added. He gave himself quite a scolding Thursday in front of the media. “I was really rattled,” Taylor said. “The crowd was into it. It was one of those games I was like, ‘Man, I don’t know what to do right now.’ I know all of us played our part in losing, but I think if I’d played a better game, we had a better chance.

“I messed that up. I want to come back out and work hard. I feel I owe my team a little bit.” KU’s other two junior starters — the Morris twins — also faulted themselves in responding to questions for the first time about the KSU game. Markieff Morris (three points, no rebounds) was called for his second intentional foul in three games. He’s remorseful about that. “Once you watch the film and see the things you do, you say, ‘That’s not me. Why did I do that?’ I need to make better deci-

sions,” Markieff said of clipping Jacob Pullen in the face while setting a screen. “We (twins) are supposed to be leaders of this team and set examples for younger players. By doing that, it’s not a good look for our program.” Marcus Morris earlier this season was ejected for committing a flagrant foul at Cal-Berkeley and also was whistled for a technical foul at Nebraska. “We can play without talking to the refs. Me and Marcus are

As you might recall, Kansas State coach Frank Martin recently blamed himself for Jacob Pullen’s early-to-midseason problems — just one of the many issues that have derailed a season that began with the Wildcats as a member of the preseason Top 10. “(Pullen) didn’t do a very good job of leading, and that’s where I needed to help him, and I didn’t,” Martin said. “It’s no surprise that when I started doing a better job of helping him, he started doing a better job of playing.” The biggest piece of evidence that Pullen is doing a better job was his 38point performance in K-State’s — can we say a little shocking? — Monday-night blowout of top-ranked Kansas. Pullen in a recent conversation admitted his designation as Big 12 preseason Player of the Year wasn’t so much a burden. The load was the expectation that he would put his team on his back and lead it to a Big 12 championship by himself. “Just the weight on my shoulders for the overall team — trying to get everybody involved, trying to score and be a leader, all those things were a lot on my plate that at one time I wasn’t able to digest,” Pullen said. “I tried to eat too fast.” Pullen tried to be both himself and be departed point guard Denis Clemente. He also let himself and his team down by being party to a scheme in which he and teammate Curtis Kelly availed themselves of clothing discounts at a local department store. He accepts blame for that short-sighted fiasco, which resulted in a disruptive three-game suspension. And he said he’s not going to let Martin take sole blame for his problems. “That’s what’s so great about Frank,” Pullen said. “Frank is the type person who will always take responsibility for what happens. “I blame myself. There are a lot of things I could have done differently. But me and Frank have both taken responsibility for that and that’s the great thing. We’ve stuck together through all that’s happened and now we’re looking toward improving things.” The win over KU improves things. But where outsiders figured this team would by now be on its way to a conference title, the Wildcats (17-9, 5-6) are trying to rescue an NCAA Tournament bid after struggling through a season of suspensions, unexpected losses and the impact of three players leaving the program during the season. Most would figure this as the most difficult season of Martin’s career. Not so, he said Wednesday. “Difficult is what (KU’s) Thomas Robinson is going through (after losing his mother in January). Difficult is what (former player) Clent Stewart went through three years ago, losing his mom in the middle of the season,” Martin said. “I mean, kids making mistakes, losing a couple of games? That’s part of the season. Nothing difficult about that. This is what teaching is all about. If I can’t deal with that, I need to find a new profession.”

Bull’s-eye on Texas So many things stand out about this Texas team. But the one thing I keep thinking is, when is UT going to take a game off? When do the rigors of the season lead to a momentary meltdown? When will the No. 3-ranked Longhorns not get up for a so-called lesser opponent? That hasn’t happened. And one of the mitigating factors in their 11-0 conference record has been the way the Longhorns jump opponents from the tipoff. Though not until Gary Johnson’s early second-half scoring spurt did Texas get comfortable in the 73-55 victory over Oklahoma State on Wednesday night, the Cowboys were looking up out of a 27-15 hole with eight minutes remaining in the first half. Building an early lead has been a constant against every opponent but Kansas, against whom Texas came back to win after being down by 15 points twice early in the game. How have the Longhorns kept that intensity? “We know guys are going to come at our necks now because of the situation we’re in,” Johnson said. “We’re in the conference lead, guys need a key win. So we feel like everybody is against us every game we play from here on out.”

Iowa wrestling standout refuses to face girl DES MOINES, IOWA — After a standout season in which he went 35-4, Joel Northrup had every reason to dream of winning an Iowa wrestling championship this year, but he gave it all up before his first state tournament match Thursday. Northrup, a home-schooled sophomore who competes for Linn-Mar High School, said his religious beliefs wouldn’t allow him to wrestle Cassy Herkelman, a pony-tailed freshman from Cedar Falls who is one of the first two girls to qualify for the tournament in its 85-year history. Northrup issued a statement through his school expressing his “tremendous” respect for what Herkelman and Ottumwa sophomore Megan Black achieved this season, but he said didn’t feel he had a choice. “Wrestling is a combat sport and it can get violent at times,” Northrup said in a statement released by his high school. “As a matter of conscience and my faith I do not believe that it is appropriate for a boy to engage a girl in this manner. It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in most other high school sports in Iowa.”

next season. Tom Brady currently holds the distinction for the highest annual average salary after agreeing to a four-year deal worth $18 million per year in September. Manning’s deal will not only be richer but also longer. “I think six years is certainly a possibility, five or six years,” Irsay said. “There’s not a definitive number that I’m stuck on. You don’t know how much longer he can play. You hope that it’s five years, maybe six years. Until you get longer down the road, it’s really uncertain.”

Nets owner hasn’t changed mind

LAKELAND, FLA. — Detroit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera was arrested late Wednesday on suspicion of drunken driving in Florida, leaving teammates stunned and concerned about the slugging first baseman less than a week into spring training. The 27-year-old Cabrera has struggled with drinking-related problems in the past, but he’s coming off perhaps his best season. He hit .328 with 38 home runs last year and finished second in the American League MVP vote. Cabrera was spotted by a deputy in a car with a smoking engine alongside a road in Fort Pierce. Inside the vehicle, Cabrera smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and took a swig from a bottle of scotch in front of a deputy, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. He refused to cooperate, and more deputies were called to the scene.

Pujols arrives in camp JUPITER, FLA. — Albert Pujols drove his big, black pickup truck into the St. Louis Cardinals’ spring training camp Thursday morning and pulled into a parking spot reserved for owners. No one complained. Deal or no deal, Pujols and the Cardinals are still happy together. For now, anyway. The three-time MVP arrived for his first formal workout of the 2011 season, which the Cardinals desperately hope will not be his last in St. Louis. He showed up one day after he and the team failed to reach an agreement on a new contract by a deadline Pujols imposed, and insisted that wasn’t going to bother him this season. “I’m more locked in than ever,” Pujols said.

Bautista, Blue Jays agree DUNEDIN, FLA. — Jose Bautista is ready to prove he’s much more than a one-year wonder. The Toronto Blue Jays are counting on it. After leading the major leagues with a team-record 54 home runs last season, Bautista finalized a $65 million, five-year contract with Toronto on Thursday. By making that kind of commitment, the Blue Jays are banking long-term on Bautista, who had never hit more than 16 homers before last year.

NFL NFL, union agree to mediation NEW YORK — Two weeks before a potential lockout, the NFL and its players’ union are asking for help in their stalled negotiations. Both sides agreed Thursday to mediation as they discuss a new collective bargaining agreement. The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, an independent U.S. government agency, will oversee talks in Washington beginning today.

Manning could get record deal INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning could still be raking in the big bucks at age 40. On Thursday, at a hastily called news conference, Colts owner Jim Irsay said he expects Manning to sign a record-setting deal before

NEWARK, N.J. — New Jersey Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has not changed his mind about the franchise’s pursuit of Carmelo Anthony. The Russian told team executives last month to end drawn-out trade talks for the Denver Nuggets All-Star forward, and nothing has changed with the NBA trading deadline a week away, his spokeswoman said Thursday.

Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said Harvey Almorn Updyke Jr., 62 of Dadeville, was arrested at the police station at 1:26 a.m. Thursday and was charged with one count of first-degree criminal mischief.

GOLF Logjam on Riviera leaderboard LOS ANGELES — Ten years after Robert Allenby won a six-man playoff at Riviera, he was part of a nine-way tie for the lead Thursday in the Northern Trust Open. Allenby kept it simple on a gorgeous day along Sunset Boulevard with a 4-under 67 that turned out to be enough for a share of the lead when former Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin faltered late. It was the highest score to lead after one round at Riviera in 15 years. Also atop the leaderboard when play was suspended by darkness were John Senden, Martin Laird, Spencer Levin, Aaron Baddeley, Ben Martin, Bill Haas, Carl Pettersson and J.B. Holmes.

emotional players,” Markieff said. “Everybody doesn’t realize we are into the game so much. When we feel we are being taken out of the game, we get that attitude. We’ve definitely got to change it. We definitely will change it.” Marcus had some bad body language at times during the KSU game, during which he scored 13 points with three rebounds and four turnovers. “That’s people’s opinions. Sometimes they like us. Sometimes they don’t,” Marcus said of those who have criticized the twins’ behavior on the court. “It’s definitely our fault giving that vibe to people, showing such emotion in a game, but I think that’s how we are as players. It’s the only way we feel we can come off the court — by getting fouls and stuff like that — so it’s frustrating at times. We show emotion. It’s a sign of immaturity. We are leaders of the team, and we can’t act that way.” Marcus Morris addressed one of his recent Twitter posts that said: “I see how it is. When the grass is cut the snakes will show. F.O.E (Family Over Everything) it’s us against the world in my eyes.” “I think a lot of people took it the wrong way. It was never focused on our fans,” Marcus Morris said. “As I said on Twitter afterward, we have the best fans in the country. I think people thought I was talking about them. I wasn’t talking about fans, just about a lot of people. It’s stuff we have to move past. It’s one game. We’re 24-2. We still don’t have a bad record. The season is far from over.” Taylor said there has been no players-only meeting this week, but several individual players spoke during the film session Wednesday. “Coach (Bill Self ) welcomes our input. We all want to do what it takes to get better,” Taylor said. “We saw so many dumb plays we all made. Once we focus in, we can be a good defensive team. It starts with me. I’m pressuring the ball all the time. I have to be more intense defensively.”

Self did have a one-on-two meeting with the twins. “We met with them. They have to do some serious things. The things that have transpired in games have hurt their team. Are they going to be willing to modify, change — and (they) don’t have to change much — but do the things to make sure these things don’t happen again? I thought we’d addressed it. We didn’t execute it in a way I’d hoped. Hopefully from this point forward they will,” Self said.

No. 1 boast revisited Self was asked if, in retrospect, it was smart for Marcus Morris to speak about wanting the Jayhawks to be No. 1 in the polls after last Saturday’s rout of Iowa State. “Why would you go public and say something if somebody could ever throw it back at you? Why would you do those things? That’s what I’m talking about — focus,” Self said. “It was all from an ego standpoint: ‘We did this and have earned it.’ Now we’re going to do something totally out of character of what we believe in. We don’t believe in doing that. That’s a very small example of us not being quite as focused as we should. Why would we make a statement like that? Not that it was awful. Not that it was good. Why don’t you let your play do all your talking? That’s how I believe and that’s how we’re going to be. “It wasn’t an issue of why we

lost. It was an example of a plethora of things that occurred that maybe didn’t allow us to be our best that night.”

Next up Self on the Jayhawks (24-2, 9-2), who meet Colorado (1610, 5-6) at 1 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. “We are 24-2. I mean, regardless of what some people might think, the sky is not falling. The reality is that things have to be addressed. I think we have a perfect opportunity to address them,” Self said. “If you told us before the season we’d be 24-2, we’d be pretty excited probably after losing what we lost last year. The thing about these guys, and we’ve had other teams like this, they frustrate you because they spoil you. You see what they can do when they are really good, and then it’s frustrating when we are not that good at other times.” Injuries Self said Josh Selby (stress reaction right foot) is about “80, 85 percent. There’s nothing to keep him from playing unless he re-injures it. It’s February. That’s the whole deal. Everybody is nicked up now,” Self said. He said he had no plan as to how many minutes Selby would play Saturday. Thomas Robinson, who had surgery Friday to repair a torn meniscus, will have his sutures removed today. “I anticipate Thomas practicing pretty soon,” Self said.

TOP 25 MEN’S BASKETBALL

No. 12 Arizona holds off WSU The Associated Press

No. 12 Arizona 79, Washington State 70 TUCSON, ARIZ. — When Derrick Williams first injured his pinky, Arizona coach Sean Miller said it would probably take three weeks before he felt comfortable again. Miller was right, and his best player was back. Williams had his best game since getting his pinky bent backward three weeks ago, scoring 26 points and grabbing eight rebounds to help the Wildcats overcome Klay Thompson’s big night on Thursday. “He’s worrying about less now. You can tell he’s feeling better, which makes sense because this is the three-week mark of his injury and what we talked about is this is when he’d start to feel better,” Miller said. “I think big-picture-wise, he’s going to be returning back to form.” Williams had been relatively quiet the previous two games, scoring a combined 23 points as he tried to fight through collapsing defenses and a bandage that made his right hand look like a white toy gun. The defense nor the stillbandaged pinky didn’t bother him this night. Somewhat reluctant to shoot as much with his right hand after the injury, Williams shot confidently from his dominant side, getting to the rim seemingly whenever he wanted and to the line when he didn’t. Shaking off a slow start, Williams gained conf idence as the game went along, finishing 7 of 10 from the floor and hitting all 12 of his free throws to help Arizona (22-4, 11-2 Pac-10) improve to 14-0 at home. “Yeah, he played great,” said Arizona guard Kyle Fogg, who had most of his seven assists to Williams. Arizona needed more than just Williams against the Cougars.

Numerous players provided a lift early as Williams revved up his engine and Solomon Hill provided additional support by scoring all 12 of his points in the second half. Arizona had some breakdowns defensively in the second half, particularly on Thompson, to lose most of a 17-point lead, but pulled out its seventh straight win by Winslow Townson/AP File Photo making 24 of 26 free throws, BOSTON CELTICS’ RAY ALLEN, LEFT, AND PAUL PIERCE SMILE on the bench during the fourth quarter of Boston’s 112-94 victory over including 21 straight.

Boston’s Pierce, Allen bring own styles

B O S T O N ( AP ) — Asked to handicap the three-point shooting contest, Ray Allen provided a thoughtful analysis of the players he will face at this weekend’s All-Star game in Los Angeles and complimented each of his opponents, in turn. Paul Pierce just smiled and nodded. “Y’all know,” Pierce said when asked for a prediction. The Boston Celtics will have two representatives in Saturday night’s three-point contest and, soon, two members of the NBA’s career top 10 in three-pointers. Allen, who is No. 1 all-time after breaking Reggie Miller’s record last week, is the pensive and methodical one; Pierce is the trash-talking playmaker who’s already letting Allen know: It’s on. “Paul has been talking all day,” Allen said Wednesday before the Celtics’ first-half finale against the New Jersey Nets. “He brought the rack out.” In the contest, players shoot from a rack of balls from five different spots along the threepoint arc; the last ball on each rack is called the “money ball” and worth two points. In addition to Pierce, the defending

champion, and Allen, this arc: With 1,542 three-pointers year’s contest will include in his career, he is tied for 12th Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant, with Tim Hardaway and just Golden State’s Dorell Wright, 17 behind ninth-place Glen Miami’s James Jones and Rice on the all-time list. Cleveland’s Daniel Gibson. This is his ninth All-Star Allen said he won’t do any selection. special practicing for the “It’s always a privilege event, laughing at the notion when you make an All-Star that he needGame and It’s always a privilege ed to refresh are recoghis memory when you make an Allnized as one with the for- Star Game and are of the best mat because players in the the distance recognized as one of the world,” he has changed best players in the world. said. “It’s since he won ...

Although Pierce has a according to bodog.com. But more well-rounded game, he’s most of the Celtics are staying no slouch from beyond the out of this one.

“

Nate Robinson, a threetime winner of the slam dunk contest, said he is glad he’s sitting it out this year so he can watch Pierce and Allen compete. “This time I get to enjoy all the festivities,” the 5-foot-9 guard said. “I’m rooting for a tie so they have to keep shooting and going and going and going.” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said he was rooting for both of his guys to reach the final but wouldn’t pick a favorite to win. After all, he has bigger issues on his mind. He’ll coach the East in the All-Star game, meaning he will have to try to keep his own players happy while also giving some minutes to fairly significant stars like LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose. Rivers said he hadn’t decided whether he will play his four together or split them up. Garnett suggested Howard, “because I don’t want to play center.” Pierce smiled at the idea of Howard joining Boston’s Big Four for one night — and beyond. “He would look good in a g r e e n u n i f o r m ,” P i e r c e said.

A curious case of sweeps stunt casting brings back gruesome memories of one of the worst movies in recent memory. Dan Aykroyd guests stars as a wayward judge on “The Defenders” (7 p.m., CBS). Meanwhile Rosie O’Donnell climbs her family tree on “Who Do You Think You Are” (7 p.m., NBC). Aykroyd and O’Donnell co-starred in the 1994 “comedy” “Exit to Eden” as police officers sent to infiltrate the world of sexual bondage and sadomasochism. The results were not pretty. If the sight of the two actors trussed up in leather didn’t empty theaters, the failed attempts at “sexy” slapstick did. ● The past and future of advertising unfolds on “The Selling Game” (8 p.m. CNBC). According to the experts convened here, TV advertising used to be “easy.” Gosh, Don Draper and the gang on “Mad Men” make it seem like something out of a Dostoyevsky novel. But I digress. As veteran ad man Peter Sealey recalls, “In the mid-1960s I could reach 80 percent of women in the United States with three daytime black-and-white commercials.” But with today’s fractured media landscape, Sealey estimates that it would require “97 prime-time 30-second ads” to reach that many consumers. Throw in TiVO and DVRs, Netflix, video games and other media, and you’d think advertisers would be pulling their hair out. But according to “Selling,” the art and sorcery of commercial persuasion has entered a new golden age. It explains how social and digital media, cable TV and other gadgets have handed marketers even more powerful tools to reach much more targeted markets. ● Television is obsessed with “cold cases.” From “America’s Most Wanted” to “CSI” to, well, “Cold Case,” viewers have long found entertainment and a form of vicarious “closure” in seeing killers brought to justice after years and decades on the loose. “The Injustice Files” (8 p.m., Investigation Discovery) reopens some of the most violent racially motivated crimes of the civil rights era, a time when black men were being murdered for simply being in the wrong place, or for having the temerity to assert their rights and refusing to “know their place.” Filmmaker Keith Beauchamp joins forces with FBI agents, and state and local authorities, to comb old records, knock on doors and dig up memories of horrific murders from past decades.

Tonight’s other highlights ● The search for a creative spark in Carlstadt, N.J., on “Kitchen Nightmares” (7 p.m., Fox). ● The squad feels conflicted after a rapist appears to have received a taste of his own sick medicine on “CSI: NY” (8 p.m., CBS). ● A fringe binge ends in mourning on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Danny hunts for Frank’s would-be shooter on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS). ● “Gold Rush: Alaska” (9 p.m., Discovery) ends its first season with winter weather on the horizon. ● Batiatus’ father organizes a spectacle on “Spartacus” (9 p.m., Starz).

Dear Annie: About seven years ago, my ex-wife, trembling and crying, woke me up early one morning to talk about her childhood. She told me she had been molested by her father. I didn’t know how to take the delicate information I was told, so I said when she was ready to talk more, I had an open heart. Through 15 years of her childhood, she had not seen or spoken to her father. They reconnected near the beginning of our relationship. I always felt they had a weird dynamic. It seemed that he gave her whatever she asked for. We spent several years in the military, and when my wife and I came home, her father picked us up from the airport. She was insistent that I not say anything or treat him any differently. She didn’t want him to know what she had told me. It recently occurred to me that the reason my ex never brought her father up on charges is because she is punishing him. She is making sure he never forgets what he did and holds him responsible by sticking it to him for money, cars and whatever else she needs at the time.

New bats change game By Dennis Waszak Jr. Associated Press Sports Writer

College baseball’s pings will have a little less zing this season. New aluminum bats designed to improve player safety will be in full swing as the road to the College World Series begins today with season openers around the country. And don’t expect to see as many big blasts when you head to the ballpark. “I think most people will tell you their home run totals were down this fall by at least 50 percent, some more,” said coach Ray Tanner of defending national champion South Carolina. “It remains to be seen what exactly is going to happen. Pitching and defense will always give you a chance to win. It may be even at a greater premium.” The new bats mandated by the NCAA replace the lightweight composite models used in recent years, when the focus was on the differential between bat weight and length. Now, they’ll perform even more like wood, with shrunken sweet spots that will decrease the exit speeds of the ball off the bat. That means lower power numbers and ERAs while everyone learns to adjust. “I think the guys that can hit will still hit,” said TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle, who wasn’t in favor of the new bats. “But certainly there’s going to be fewer balls leaving the ballpark than in years past.” And that won’t be the only big difference in college baseball this year. In an effort to shorten games, which soar past the three-hour mark on average, the NCAA has introduced a pitch clock. Pitchers will have 20 seconds, with no one on base, to throw a pitch or umpires will call it a ball. It’ll be a strike if a batter violates the rule by stepping out of the box. Teams will also have 90 seconds to change sides between innings during nontelevised games. “If your catcher just flew out and he’s rounding second or getting to second base on a flyout or he was at second as a runner, I think you have a shot if you’re not paying attention to be challenged between innings,” Kentucky coach Gary Henderson said. “But it’s going to speed the game up, there’s no question.” The changes might not matter much to Florida International’s Garrett Wittels, who enters the season with a 56game hitting streak — two shy

SOUTH CAROLINA BASEBALL PLAYERS CELEBRATE after winning the College World Series in this file photo from June 29, 2010, in Omaha, Neb.

Players to watch Some of the top college baseball players to watch this season: ■ Jeremy Baltz, OF, sophomore, St. John’s. National freshman hitter of year set school records for home runs (24) and RBIs (85) — tops among Division I frosh players — while batting .396 and starting every game. ■ Trevor Bauer, RHP, junior, UCLA. Went 12-3 with 3.02 ERA for College World Series runner up, while striking out school-record 165 and becoming first Bruins pitcher to lead nation in Ks. ■ Jackie Bradley Jr., OF, junior, South Carolina. Most Outstanding Player at College World Series was sparkplug for champion Gamecocks with 13 HRs, 60 RBIs and .368 batting average. ■ Gerrit Cole, RHP, junior, UCLA. Followed up impressive season with Bruins (11-4. 3.37 ERA, 153 Ks) by being rated No. 1 prospect on USA Collegiate National Team by Baseball America for second consecutive year. ■ Cole Green, RHP, senior, Texas. Big 12 pitcher of year

was 11-2 with 2.74 ERA and was drafted by Detroit in fourth round last June, but opted to return to Longhorns. ■ Danny Hultzen, LHP, junior, Virginia. School’s first player to win ACC pitcher of year went 11-1 with 2.78 ERA and 123 Ks and already ranks among Cavaliers’ career leaders in wins (20) and Ks (230). ■ Mike McGee, RHP-OF, senior, Florida State. One of top two-way players in country finished third on team with .328 average, while leading in HRs (17) and RBIs (73), and also going 4-1 with 2.96 ERA and 13 saves. ■ Matt Purke, LHP, sophomore, TCU. Baseball America freshman of year was 16-0 with 3.02 ERA and 142 Ks while leading Horned Frogs to first College World Series appearance in school history. ■ Noe Ramirez, RHP, junior, Cal State Fullerton. Ranked among Big West leaders with 12-1 mark, 119 Ks and 2.54 ERA despite missing nearly a month with broken wrist. Had five saves for USA Collegiate National Team during summer.

■ Anthony Rendon, 3B, junior, Rice. Dick Howser Trophy winner as nation’s top player was among NCAA leaders in HRs (26), RBIs (85) and walks (65) while also hitting .394 and making just four errors all season. ■ George Springer, OF, junior, Connecticut. Hit .337 with 18 HRs and 62 RBIs for Huskies while also stealing 33 bases in 35 tries and setting school marks with 60 walks and 84 runs scored. ■ Karsten Whitson, RHP, freshman, Florida. Ninth overall pick by San Diego in last year’s draft turned down offer from Padres and opted to pitch for Gators after being one of top high school pitchers in country. ■ Garrett Wittels, SS, jun ior, Florida International. Enters season on 56-game hitting streak, just two shy of longest in Division I history (Oklahoma State’s Robin Ventura, 1987). Sun Belt player of year was cleared by school to play in team’s opener after he was charged in pending rape case in Bahamas in December.

of Robin Ventura’s Div. I record, set in 1987. Wittels will pick up where he left off on the field last season in the Golden Panthers’ opener tonight against Southeastern Louisiana. But Mainieri also says that after watching his players use the bats, he isn’t sure the change will be that dramatic. “The game is still going to be a very fundamental game,” he said. “We’re not going to sit around and wait for the threerun homer like in the past.

We’ve got to get them on, get them over and get them in.” Baylor coach Steve Smith, a former Bears pitcher, was all for the new bats. “I immediately loved it,” he said. “I know I’m a pitching guy and all the hitting guys are going to take another view on this. But I really think that we got our game back and from that, you know little things are going to matter, the process of how you play the game is going to matter.”

Especially when your sights are set on getting to Omaha. But the destination every college baseball player and coach has envisioned reaching for the last 61 years — Rosenblatt Stadium — has changed. The longtime home of the College World Series is being replaced by the new TD Ameritrade Park in downtown Omaha, a 24,000-seat ballpark that includes 30 luxury suites and 2, 500 club seats.

more solid one through nine in the batting order.” Price also won’t have the luxury of calling on Bochy or the reliable lefty Travis Blankenship out of the bullpen, and gone, too, are sixgame winner Cameron Selik and sure-handed first baseman Brett Lisher. But even with all the departed talent to mention, there’s still plenty left over. Seniors Jimmy Waters, a left-handed slugger who enjoyed a breakout year in 2010, T.J Walz, the staff’s ace (who was also drafted but opted to return), and speedy right fielder Casey Lytle enter the year as co-captains. Fellow seniors Wally Marciel and shortstop Brandon

Macias are expected to up their production, and Price also singled out Jake Marasco, Zac Elgie and Chris Manship as being crucial pieces in the middle of KU’s lineup. Several of KU’s 10 freshmen are expected to make an instant impact as well, including Kaiana Eldridge, a gifted athlete currently penciled in as the opening-day starter at second base — a spot where Robby Price flourished during his four years as a Jayhawk.

START AT THE BEGINNING What’s the ﬁrst question you ask yourself when you’re ready to buy a home? It should be, “How much can I afford?” Without that crucial piece of information, you can’t even begin your search. Figure your monthly income and debt payments, order your credit reports, and determine how much you can put down. Now, apply for pre-approval from a number of lenders, to shop for the best interest rate and terms. You can choose ﬁxed or adjustable rate, and a conventional or government or jumbo loan, among the most common types of mortgages. Now, what do you want out of your new home? Want a location within the city, right downtown, in the suburbs, or

a rural setting? How many bedrooms and bathrooms, in a single family home or townhouse or condo? Now that you’ve ﬁgured out what you’re looking for and what you can afford, locate the neighborhoods that satisfy your requirements. An area real estate agent can give you information about schools, your work commute, and proximity to shopping and recreation. Find your agent through referrals and interviews to get the right “chemistry.” You can browse listings online, but the agent should be able to provide a list of suitable properties right away. Make appointments for tours and attend open houses if available. My upcoming column will guide you through the next steps!
